There is an individual in New York who makes good living by dealing in securities which have purely specula- tive value, and which, in many cases, are known to be worthless. He buys these cheap for cash and sells them to men who go into fraudulent bankrupt cies and want to make showing of as- sets to their creditors. He has been making money in it for years and has had share in filling out the schedules of great many bankrupts who have taken advantage of his sagacity in sup plying them with collateral.-New York Letter

In wintrx Blast.

LOUISVILLE, O., March 27.-But 72 of Coxey's commonwealers had the courage to march away from Canton in the face of the wintry blast that was blowing at the time set for the start. The band deserted at that point also, and that took much of the spirit out of the soldiers. The march from Canton to this place through two inches of snow and in temperature 20 de- grees above zero was anything but pleas ant experience for the thinly clad wander CTS, who had imagined that the entire trip to Washington would be a sort of spring time frolic.
 Fifty tramps were picked up between Canton and this place, and when the army went into camp it numbered l22 aside from the officers. The claimed enlistments are 250

An Important Letter.

WASHINGTON. March 28.-The defense in the Pollard-Breckinridge trial took new tack and ventured upon the troubled sea of expert testimony. Two witnesses we'll known in Washington-Dr. E. M. Schaef- fer, the deputy coroner of the District ot Columbia, and Mir. Edwin B. Hay, an at- torney who is something of local Chaun- cey Depew-appeared for the Kentucky congressman, and their statements were directed to the support of the contention that the hand of Madeline Pollard penned the black bordered letter in 1885, which she has most emphatically disavowed twice over on the witness stand.
 Great stress is laid by the defense upon the authenticity of this letter-not because it runs counter to the testimony of the plaintiff that Colonel Breckinridge first called upon her at the Wesleyan academy of her own volition, but because they think if she can be proved false on one inn portant detail her whole statement will be impeached. The signature to the letter also goes to support the opening statement of the defense on a minor detail-viz: That Miss Pollard had adopted at that time the middle name of Breckinridge. This letter, which has figured so conspicu- ously in the case and which the defense will fight to get before the jury, Is as fol lows:
