SEELRY INDICTED.


NEW YORK. Nov. 30.-Ten indictments
were handed in to the Court OF General
Sessions to-day by the grand jury against
Samuel Seeley, the defaulting bookkeeper
of the Shoe and Leather Bank, alleging
forgery and grand larceny. All were found
on the evidence of Cashier Van Week.
Bench warrants were issued.
Charles j. Peschell, the Jersey City GRIM
dnal lawyer, said to-day that Seeley is not
In Canada. as has been reported On
Wednesday Peschen came to New York
and had consultation with United States
Commissioner Shields and District Attorney
McFarlIn on the subject of bail IL Seeley
would surrender. The lawyer said that
lawyer Angel was aware where Seeley was.
and could produce him within a short time.
Peschell furthermore stated that Seeley
could secure 1900, and If he was sure this
would be accepted he would surrender him.
self
The directors OF the Shoe and Leather
Bank met at noon to-day and passed res
olutions offering a reward Of 1900 for the
arrest and conviction OF Seeley. This is
substantially all that was done at the meet
ing" said President Crane. "and Is ample
refutation, we think, that we know where
Seeley is to be found and are now making
terms with him." 1t Is reported that Seeiey
was seen on an Erie train last Friday
night and that he crossed into Canada at
NIAGARA.

PROPOSED NEW CHURCH.
First Regular Conference Of the Unit
ed Evangelical Denomination.

NAPIERVILLE, ILL.,, Nov. 30.-The United
Evangelical Church General Conference met
to-day and entered vigorously upon the
work assigned it, the most important of
which is to establish the status, whether
it is to be a continuance of former or
ganization or the beginning of new ad-
ministration. The determination of this
question will decide an important matter,
far-reaching in it's results. The question is
being thoroughly discussed and the result
is awaited with anxiety. The prevailing
opinion is that the convention will be de-
clared the first regular Seneral conference
of the United Evangelical Church This
will necessitate the adoption of a new book
of discipline, the establishment of publish
ing houses and missionary societies. Un-
bounded faith is reposed In the wisdom
and discretion of the delegates and 1t is
expected that laws will be enacted which
will forever preclude the possibility of a
chism by reason of the undue assumption
of powers by any official and assure to
it's members a republican form Of church
government for the future.

MIR. KOLB's SCHEME.
Mr.. Dunning Outlines the Plans Of the
Defeated POnuliSf.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3O.-Information of
the exact programme to be pursued to-
morrow by Reuben F. Kolb, the Populist
claimant to the governorship of Alabama,
was made known here to-day. Thus far
Kolb has disclosed only that he and his
Populist followers. estimated at about fifty
thousand, would go to Montgomery, the
State capital, and there demand that Kolb
be sworn in as the Governor instead Of Mr..
Oates, the Democratic candidate, who
claims election. There have been grave
fears Of riot and bloodshed as conse-
quence of the clash of the rival parties, and
the militia of the State is now at the State
capital. The national headquarters Of the
Populist party at Washington has been
closed since the election, and Chairman
Taubeneck has been in st. Louis the past
few days attending the sessions Of the BIZ
metallic League. Some of his associates in
the party are still here. however. and make
their headquarters in the Office Of the Ma
tonal watchman, the organ Of the Populist
party, and they are kept fully informed OF
the doings OF Kolb and his followers.
Mr.. N. A. Dunning, the editor or the
Watchman, was to-day asked what, from
his information, would be the exact steps
taken by Kolb tomorrow. He replied:
'Mr. Kolb and the other members of the
State PoP;ulist ticket a viii go before fore Judge
Tomorrow morning and take the oath of
office to the places TO which they were
elected. Having done this, they will go

ration of Oates. and ask that an investiga-
ton be authorized by that body 1t is nee
essary to make the protest In this way, be-
a condition which does not exist in any 9TH

bama will make vigorous protest in the

force an investigation. We have forty-four
members in that body and the Democrats
have eighty-nine. If We could get

MYTHICAL ENGLISH ESTATES.

Ex-Consul General New Speaks Of At
tempts to Svvindle Americans.
During the time Hon. John C. New was
consul-ge >eral at London. the mail from
the United States bearing inquiries con-
cerning alleged estates in chancery,
funds tied UP in the Bank of England, was
so heavy. that the consulate issued a cir
cular showing these fortunes to be myths.
The reports sent broadcast over the United
States of estates awaiting claimants were
at the instance of unscrupulous men who
schemed for such fees as their dupes might
forward them. Howard, the shrewd swind-
ler now in the Columbus, o. penitentiary
is serving a term for an offense similar to
that which landed Thomas and Jacques in
an English prison. Colonel New said. last
night, that the stories OF fabulous wealth
in the United Kingdom, awaiting American
claimants, pertain to the same myths in

Some People Fear, However,, that a

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. 30.-Kolb has
arrived in the city and will be sworn in
tomorrow. There is grave apprehension
of trouble. The advance guard OF Kolbites
arrived last night, and they are talking
very bitterly to-day. The Kolbite men,
bers of the Legislature now admit pos
sible conflict, and last night held a caucus
at which they passed resolutions disclaim-
ing any responsibility for any lawlessness
that may occur. There is fear that some
crank. laboring under excitement, may at
tempt to assassinate Oates or Jones. and
extra precautions will be taken to protect
both. A prominent leader of the Populists,
Hon. Frank Baltzeli, editor of the Alliance
Herald. and who is in a position to speak
for Kolb, said to-day that he did not ex-
pect any overt acts or revolutionary course
by the Peoples party followers. for the
reason that the party has spoken against
it and everything is unfavorable for such
q movement. Many regard the usurpa-
ton of Oates" Mr.. Baltzell says. "as a
wrong which will justify any resistance

credentials of Colonel Reese. who was
nominated by the Populists as United States
Senator, and who will contest the seat of
