HE WAS INTERESTED IN THE HAIR
RIS GET-RICH-QUICK SCHEME.
He Bought the Right to Manufn cture
an Iridescent Fuel Gas i'm Nebraska
and Town ana Lost about 100000
MIR. owen WINS Only One of Many
Indlanians Who Were Duped.

The arrest in New York a few days
ago of William H. Harris, the notorious
swindler and confidence man, recalls the
most gigantic of his many schemes, which
was the organization of the American gas
company for the manufacture Of fuel gas.
This company was organized under the
liberal laws of Kentucky, with capital Of
$40 600. 900. and with Harris at the head OF
it. He claimed that by the invention
which the company was operating gas
could be perpetually manufactured so
cheaply as to outrival even natural gas
itself
The system by which the company oper-
ated was by selling territory and giving
exclusive privileges i'm that territory. Har-
ris came to Indiana i'm 1891 for the pur-
pose Of selling the state, and j. n Huston
of COnnersville was one Of those interested
in the scheme by Harris. The Indiana gas
company was organized and number OF
Indianapolis business men took stock The
scheme looked feasible and aided by the
oily tongue Of Harris no trouble was eX-
perienced In disposing Of the stock. An
experimental plant was erected at a cost
Of nearly $4,000, and this dragged on for
more than a year before il was proven
to be an utter failure. The scheme was
worthless, and all who had invested We're
out the entire amount of their investment,
while Harris disappeared
But there were others caught even worse
than those who invested in the Indiana
company. Harris succeeded while in In
diana in inoculating a large amount Of
his pretended enthusiasm over his project
into w. ID. Owen, recently elected sec
rotary Of state and Mr.. owen not only
invested largely but induced a number Of
his friends to put their money into the
scheme. He was, no doubt. sincere in his
faith, for he lost about $4,000.
Mr.. owen met Mr.. Harris frequently,
and the latter explained to him his scheme
for the manufacture OF cheap fuel gas.
SO plausible did it sound that Mr.. owen
was at last induced 10 invest all his
money in the enterprise and bought the
states of Iowa and Nebraska. Had the
method worked out as IL showed up on
paper large profits would have accrued.
But the bubble subsequently burst and
Mr.. owen was left practically penniless.
Harris has at last been run to earth in
New York, and his career with its dark
wake Of failure and disappointment is
ended.
Mr.. owen, while he was commissioner
Of immigration, went west and started
the organization of companies to manu-
facture gas at Omaha. Neb.. and Burling-
ton, Ia. About the time he attempted to
float bonds the panic came and his scheme
failed.

"Since 1 went 10 Mexico no important
diplomatic matters have arisen between
the two governments. There was the
murder committed by Adams Of LOUISE

volIed killing and our government did not
interfere, except to have his sentence COM

occurred but a few months ago. The af-
fair was treated OF at great length, no

American papers. Upon my urgent solicit

BELIEVES 1T WILL HURT PUGILISM.
Champion COrbett Talks of the Kill
ing OF Bowen.

DALLAS, Tex, Dec. 15.-James ]. Cor
bett being asked:
What do you think of Lavigne killing
Andy Bowen in their fight last night.
Give your version Of a kind of blow
Lavigne delivered"
rs Bowen dead? Truly I'm sorry to
hear 1t. I read the account of the fight
in this mornings newspaper, but had not
heard of his death and was hoping that
the worst fears were ungrounded. As to
the blow I do not know what kind Of a
one Lavigne used but it must have been
a terrible one. 1t will hurt pugilism and
makes me more eager than ever TO get
out Of the business. The many fatalities
that have taken place of late cannot,
believe, be ascribed to the style of fighting,
but TO the men who use it. In these days
fighters train more. are in better condition
and in every respect more skillful and
scientific than they were in the days when
the London prize ring rules were in vogue.
One reason why So many more accidents
attend boxing these days is that the box
ers pick out vital spots on which to strike
a man, and, With added skill. are able to
reach their aim more often. The boxers of
today are more scientific than those of
former days, and to this alone may be
charged most Of the recent accidents. The
contests under London prize ring rules
were far more brutal than those fought
under Queensberry rules. London rules
permit man to throw his antagonist and
then jump on him after he Is down. No.
I don't believe there can be any compari-
son between the two methods Of fighting. y

DEBS FOUND GUILTY.
Sentenced to Six Months ImprisOn-
ment for Contempt.

CHICAGO, Dec. 14.-"Guilty as
charged" was the finding announced today
by Federal Judge william Woods
against President Eugene V. Debs of the
American railway union. The same find
ing was reached against the other Ameri-
can railway union leaders on trial with
Debs. The men were charged with con-
tempt of court, in failing to obey the in
junction not to interfere with the running
of trains during the Pullman strike last
summer.
Mr.. Debs was sentenced to six months
in the county Jail. The others on trial
were given three months each. except
McVane, who was released, because there
was no evidence against him. The find
ing Of the court was that the defendants
were guilty OF contempt but that any
punishment inflicted would not be cumu-
lative. In other words, there were two
cases before the court, one for contempt
and the other from violation OF the federal
statute and the latter cause Is merged
into the former.

painting, 10000; green house, $1,000.
Superintendent Edenharter reports that
the per capita cost for the care Of The in
mates for the year was Sl6l.f1, which Is
reduction Of $l.94 from the amount I'm 1888.
This is the lowest the per capita cost has

A DESERVED SLAP.

Gov Allgeld of Illinois, will tax e
cognizance of the fact that all men in
high places are not sympathizers with
the red-handed disciples of anarchy.
Recorder S,nyth of New York refused
yesterday to administer the oath of Of
flee to the self convicted anarchist
and open champion of the Haymarket
assassins, Hugh o. Pentecost whats
in a nameD, who is the
Croker nominee for assistant district
attUney. The rabid utterances and
tainted affiliations of this tool of Tam
many are more than the Recorder could
stand and he promptly put the seal of
his disapproval upon him.
1t is u great pity that there are not
more Recorder Smyths, or fewer
Crokers. But now that the reaction
has set in against Tammany and its
slaves are tapped on the knuckles when
ever they attempt to acquire hold
upon public Office, gleam of hope for
the political future If New York is dis
