THAT CLEVER SWINDLE.


On the same day that Henry w. Cole,
the check raiser, secured $500 from the
Merchants National Bank, February 10,
he succeeded in obtaining a second 1880
raised from SIS at the Second National
Bank by precisely the same methods
as employed In the first case. II was
drawn by the First National Bank of Hop
kinton, $. II. Richmond, cashier, on the
Second National Bank, which
was dated like the first, Feb. 1.
The indorser was Charles Il. Gordon
and the signature of Mr.. Rich
mond was forged. The cashiers sigma
ture of identification was cleverly counter
feited, the work being rendered
less difficult as Mr.. Richmond abbrevi-
ated the name "Charles " to Chas. ;"
and the forger when he altered the check
simply wrote "Cashier, "!as it contained
all the essential letters for executing
the title. The entire manipula-
tion OF the check was remarkably perfect
and Mr.. Richmond himself was thorough
ly deceived after comparison OF his
handwriting with that of the mythical
Gordon.

Mr.. ROELKER WITHDRAWS.
His Letter to Chairman White Made
Public Today.
The Interests of the State Demand
Republican Success I'm April and
Harmony Is Necessary for Success.

Chairman Hunter G. White of the Re-
publican State central committee received
a letter from Hon. William q. Rocker
yesterday afternoon withdrawing his
name from consideration as candidate
for the United States Senatorship.
The letter is as follows:
PROVIDENCE. March 4, 1894,
Col. HUNTER c. WHITE, ETC.:
My DEAR SIR-Some two weeks ago. at the
suggestion of a number of leading men In our
party, l consented 10 allow my name To
be used i'm connection with the Republi-
can candidacy for the Senatorship OF the
United States. did this upon the understand
ing on my part that there would probably be
no other candidate in the field. and that /
would be likely 10 receive substantially the
unanimous support OF the party in the coming
struggle. This understanding has proved in
correct. A distinguished gentlemen for whom
have long entertained a personal regard
has recently announced himself a candidate,
and IL seems 10 me quite clear that a contest
for this Office carried on at this time between
Republicans must breed strife and greatly
imperil the success of the party at the polls
This is no time for quarreling among the Re-
publicans. The interests of the state,
and every man in 1t, in my opinion.
demand that Republican General Assembly
should be elected in April. Never, in our
time, nave we Witnessed sucn want ana SUI
fering in this country as exists today.
Does anyone question that our troubles
have been very largely augmented,
If not actually caused, by the Dem
ocratic party? Therefore, let us have one Re-
publican candidate and elect him. For these
reasons beg TO withdraw my name from the
contest and TO thank my many friends for the
cordial assurances of support with which they
have honored me.
Very respectfully yours.

GREENE STATUE.

ahaIr. Nevertheless il is Miss Swans
duty {, give us the pleasure of looking at
her pict lres and envying the possessors.
General Greene has been bronzed and
ticied up a bit, and now holds court at
the School of Design, and Mr.. Hastings
has turned his attention TO other work.
His pen sketch of the model is all right as
to figure, but does not catch the express
sion of the face.
Governor Browns legislative duties
have hindered the completion of his bust,
but he is giving the final sittings now
and the casting will soon be made. At
tention has been called to the fact that
the State has no memorial of many of our
past Governors and Mr.. Hastings thinks
that Mr.. Ladd, Mr.. Wetmore and the
other ex-Executives, neatly done in
bronze, should be given place within the
walls of our new Capitol building.
Art Club Exhibition.
The Art Club have sent out cards for the
private view to open the spring exhibition
tonight. The show consists of works by
Maria Brooks, Cox, DuMond, Earle, Frecr,
Clifford, Howe, InDess, Johnson,
LaFarge, Maynard, Ranger, Robinson,
Sargent, Sartain, Shirlaw, Trynn and
Vedder. Many of these were shown at the
Worlds FAIR, and several received the
medal. There has been nothing of equal
merit show here for some years, and the
committee who are responsible for the
exhibition deserve no end of praise.
The private viewers will not only enjoy
this rare visionary treat, but tea will be
poured ices served, and the sweet strains
of the new grand piano will make enjoy
ment complete.
The exhibition will remain open to the
public until April, including Sundays,
and certainly should be visited by all who
care to know what our own countrymen
are doing for the world OF art.
The Greene statue committee will meet
at o'clock Saturday afternoon i'm the
offices of Amasa NJ. Eaton, Esq, 81 Wilcox
Building. There seems TO be no doubt
that in time this proposed statue will be
statue in reality, but the ways of Provi-
dence are not only inscrutable, but very
slow, and there is hardly any immediate
danger.
several gentlemen interested i'm the well
fare OF the School OF Design have pur-
chased valuable collection of autotype
reproductions OF the works OF the old
masters, and will soon present them TO
the school.
Permission has been given the statue
committee TO place any models, sketches
or portraits, i'm connection with the pro-
posed memorial, in the museum for
oublic exhibition. One model, with
accompanying sketches, has been placed
there, and others viii soon be. MIR. w.
Maxwell Greene has promised TO loan his
portrait of General Greene, and TO secure
the other portraits and miniatures In
possession OF different branches OF the
family SO that the museum viii be OF
great interest to students Of HhOde
Island history.

interesting exhibition OF his work in
water color. Mr. Brett Is member OF

REPUBLICANS in the Senate are
getting very much concerned, be-
cause they see and know that the
Democrats are going to pass the
tariff reform bill The bill will
doubtless be far short of perfection
from any standpoint by the time it
has been put in such shape as will
command the support of the kick
ing Democrats; but of one thing
the Republicans may rest assured
the Mckinley abomination will dis
appear from our statutes to reap
pear no more forever and a much
lower tariff and one distinctly in the
line of Democratic policy, though
far short of it's ultimate purpose
will take its place. After tariff re-
form is accomplished better times
will dawn, and continue to get bet
