A s2.OOO.OOO SwIndle.

Inquiries are being received at Yankton,
So. OAK, from England and the East as to
the bonds negotiated by J. T. NJ Pierce,
who recently decamped, and it is believed
that the estimate of S1,500,000 of the
forgeres is too low. During the last 80
days prior to Pierce's departure from Lon
don, he received S400 900 from the sale of
the forged securities, many of which were
sold by Stanton e Coffin, the New York
bankers, who failed Oct. l. The total
amount of Pierces swindlings may exceed
100000.

ysis on Wednesday and never rallied. DR..
Browne attained the grade of surgeon-gen-

1859 he was on the Constellation, which
was engaged in suppressing the African
slave trade off the Congo, and from 1861
to 1864 served as surgeon of the Kear
sarge. During all this adventurous period

! tuition until 1871, when he served as flee

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
NewfOundland's Black Monday.
The Entire Business of the Island In
voIved In a Financial Crisis.

The Entire Business of the Island In
voIved In a Financial Crisis.
The crisis which has been so long ex-
pected in st. Johns, Newfoundland, cul-
minated Monday, when the Commercial
bank and five leading fish and sealing
houses suspended; while the Union bank
closed its doors temporarily. The Savings
bank, a government institution, did no
business.
The immediate cause of the crisis was
the suspension of Hall, Prowse IL Co., fl
nancia agents, of London. The Goodridge
Ministry has asked Sir William Whiteway
to take charge of the government, but he
declines, in view of the present condition
of affairs. The general public blames the
administration for the crisis, and the feel
ing against it is intense.
The depletion of the fisheries, increase in
taxes, diversion of hundreds of men from
fishing to railway building through the is
land at higher wages, and lastly, the de-
struction of st. Johns by fire two years
ago, combined to financially embarrass
every firm dealing in the fisheries.
The whole situation now depends on Sc
curing outside aid. One of the members
of the government has gone to Canada to
arrange, If possible, for one of the Canadian
banks to establish a branch at st. Johns,
and has good prospects of success. The
government also telegraphed to the British
Ministry requesting a loan of 81, 100000 or
that they will guarantee the loan of 81 ,500,-
600, which we are now trying to float in
| London.
The situation in s.. Johns is frightful
| About roo men are directly dependent on
the firms which have suspended, and are
now without any means of support, with
the rigors of winter facing them. Then
thousands of people have commercial notes
of greater or less value, which are abso
lutely valueless at present, and the whole
circulating medium consists Of about 5000,
600 in gold, silver and copper. Thi:
amount has got not only to do for St
Johns, but the whole island, as outside
this city there are no banks or exchanges
The people do their whole business in banl
notes, and these will really be the wors
sufferers, as they cannot get their notes t
st. Johns or effect any arrangements
Business is at a standstill. Every one lose
more or less and it is impossible to overes
innate the gravity of the situation. If tn
Union bank goes it means absolute ruiz
for thousands. The colony's credit will b
gone, its railway half built will fail of com
pletion the people will have no means o
carrying on the fisheries, and their suffer
ings this winter will be intense

A GAY LOTHAIRIO.
His Principal Occupation Was Winning
the Hearts of Young Women.

Orville Van Bureau Thompson, young
man mailing from Bedford Springs, Va,
who broke the hearts of 20 young woman
in Athol, Mass, 1886 to 1888, has recently
come into notoriety at Chicago, where he
is up to his old tricks again. Thompson
married one girl at Athol, whom he left
with two small children, got into a scrape
with another which landed in the Athol
lookup, and paid devoted attention to -
to Is others. Thompson began the prac-
tice of law in Chicago a few months ago.
He was to have been married in November
to Miss Doro Prewitt, daughter of promi-
nent physician, but her father received
warning information in time to put a quie-
tus on the match. At the time that he
was engaged to marry Miss Prewtt,
Thompson was engaged to six other Chi
cago girls. Thompson presented the Chi
cage young women with the same diamond
ring, borrowing it back on some pretense
when he wished to make a new engage
ment.

The AerOplane.
Successful Test of Flying Machine---
Run by Steam.

The Langley Aeroplane was tested at
Quantico, Va, Saturday. Like mon
strous swan the machine jumped into the
air in the face of perceptible breeze, and
after sailing gracefully for some distance,
alighted upon the surface of the water. 1t
is made to float, and was brought back to
land by a boat. In general way the sail
ing monster suggests gigantic swan, or
more exactly, pure white butterfly, ten
feet from tip to tip of wing, the posterior
pair, however, being detached from the
anterior and much smaller. In the rear
extends vertical tail or rudder. The ma
terial in it is aluminium, and the shape
like that of a porpoise. The wings in
clined upward at slight angle, the ma
chine being sustained much as a kite is
held in midair. In place of string and
wind are two swiftly revolving screws. The
result of Mr.. Langley's experiments on
motors is that a very light constructed
steam engine is preferable to a storage bat
terry for aerial navigation. Before a long
flight is attempted, its ultimate possibility
being only question of time, the problem
of control, steering, must be more satisfac-
torly solved. The aeroplane will readily
enough traverse the air, but is liable to
strange eccentrcties of motion, such as
those in which kite INDUCES when not
properly balanced. 1t is to learn what is
necessary for sure guidance that the pres
ent experiments are conducted.
Another Daring Train Robbery.
One of the most daring train Iobberies
ever committed in Texas took place Thurs
day night eight miles west of Fort Worth
The train was brought to a stop by danger
signal. The engineer was covered by three
unmasked men, who boarded the cab and
ordered that the train be backed up half a
mile. Then the fireman was covered and
ordered to break in the express door. He
refused, but the robbers fired number of
shots into the air, and brought him to
terms. He burst open the door with a
pick.
One robber kept the fireman and engi-
neer covered while the others went into
the express car. The safe doors were open.
One of the robbers rifed the safes while
the other kept guard over messengers.
The sum secured was first said to have
been $4,000, but the express officials
claim that it was only about $1,000. Sam
uel Evans, a prominent citizen of Corsi-
cana, Texas, has confessed that he was
one of the robbers and two other men are
also under arrest.

His Suit against the Railroad Conn


A. Il. Bishop OF Readsb0rO Beaten In
His Suit against the Railroad Conn
pany.
Two days in the Bennington county
court, before Judge Rowell last week,
were occupied in hearing the case of A. p.
Bishop against the Hoosick Tunnel & Will
mingtOn railroad, in which damages to the
amount of $4,000 were claimed by the
plaintiff. Bishop, who resides in Reads
boro was employed as a conductor on the
railroad. On the evening of Sept. 81,
1892, he had orders to take a train to Will
mington and deliver it to the night watch
man at that place. After so doing he went
into the engine house, and while following
the Waterman to the oil room, fell into an
ash pit four feet deep. According to med
ical testimony and that of other witnesses
he broke three ribs and sustained severe
injuries on one leg. He claimed negligence
on the part of the company in not notify
ing him of the existence of the pit Over
20 witnesses were subp9naed, and it was
expected that the trial would last several
days. The case was suddenly closed
Thursday, the judge directing the jury to
bring in verdict for the railroad company.

Strange Murder Case at Chicago.
A. d. Barnes, ianitor in an apartment
building in Chicago, was murdered on
Thursday night in the basement of the
building. The hacked and mutiated corpse
was hidden in hole in the sidewalk on
South Park avenue, where it was found

fessions of c. A. Blixt, who was suspect
ed of having committed the crime at the
instigation of Harry Hayward, who had
$4,000 insurance on Miss Ging's life, and
of Hayward's brother, Adry The latter
