COSTELLO'S TRICK.
Alleged Circulation OF Worthless
Checks to Pay for Goods.

J ID. Costello is being sought for by De-
tective Parker. He is accused OF passing
worthless checks, aud when the fact
was learned the detective was called
to a Westminster street bank and given
particulars of the work of the alleged
swindler.
Costello's plan OF operation consisted of
giving checks TO merchants and small
dealers for goods. A purchase OF "a or s.
worth OF goods would call for $40 check
and Costello would receive the balance in
substantial cash.
Ten or IL OF these checks have been re-
ceived by the banks of this city and of
course the holders OF the checks were in
formed that Costello had no money to
draw upon.
The general distribution of these checks
aroused suspicion that something was
rotten in Denmark and il Costello is
found he will have to answer we'll for his
work.
The peculiar thing about the whole
business is.the unquestioned worth OF the
paper and the simplicity OF the dealers in
accepting checks from a fellow of Co.'S
tello's stamp. 1t was profitable at least
for Costello, who seems to be unknown to
to the police or any one else at present,

EMPEROR'S SONG.
It Will Turn Europe Topsey-Turvey
for Few Days.

LONDON, Sept. 22.--Emperor Williams
long g-looked-for song, which has already
attracted considerable comment, will
be published in about two weeks
time in Berlin. Later it
will be translated into English
by member of the royal family of Eng
land and it will then be published in Lon
don. The queen of Italy is to turn the
German emperor's production into Italian
and it will afterward be published in
Italy.
Emperor William is also engaged upon
an operetta on Wagnerian lines, founded
upon an old German legend.
The Lord Chamberlain has intimated to
Viola Melnotte that the Chinese envoy OBJ
jects TO "The Chinaman" now playing at
the Trafalgar theate-. In this play, one
of the characters, a mandarin, is held up
to ridicule and it is now proposed o make
the mandarin Japanes. Then il the
Japanese envoy objects, the ridicule char
acter will probably be converted into
Persian or Turk.
Olga Nethersol should arrive in New
York about Monday next. Her list of
plays to be produced in New York include
Carmen" Juliet" the new version Of
Camille" "Tbc Transgressor," and a
play by Hermann Suderman. On her re-
turn 20 England in April, 1895, she
will repeat the same round OF plays at
Daly's theater here. The costumes she
has with her are expected to attract great
attention, as she is we'll known for her
dressing.
The English version of Sardou's "Ma-
dame Sans Gene" is being prepared by
Comyns Carr, and is nearly ready. There
is a discussion in the theatrical critic set
as to whether or not Ellen Terry can ma ke
a success of the vulgar washerwoman and
the discussion still RACES.

SHE WAS INSANE
Lottie Baker Who Killed Her
Four Children.

RUTLAND, VT, Sept. 22.-Preparations
for the trial of Mrs. Lottie Baker, the
wife of Mitchell Baker, who
strangled her four children in
Montgomery early In the summer, have
been deferred. The woman is plainly
insane and it is improbable il she can
ever be tried. Since being confined in
jail she has developed unquestioned
symptoms of insanity and her counsel,
Colonel William Harrington, states that
it is a legal impossibility TO try the
woman under present conditions and
that she will in all probability spend her
remaining years in some asylum for the
insane. A peculiar feature OF the case is
that there is no law in Vermont that ex-
actly covers the matter. Being already
in the custody OF the court she
must be discharged or convict
ed, either of which would be
manifestly wrong. The only way out of
the difficulty seems to be TO have an
amendment to the existing law passed SO
that she mny be transferred from the Gus
tody OF the court to al asylum.

TO DEFRAUn BANKS.
Extensive Conspiracy Disclosed by
Garnishee Proceedings.

CHICAGO, Sept. 22.--An extensive con-
spiracy to defraud four OF the leading
national banks OF Chicago has been
disclosed through garnishee proceed
ings instituted by one OF the
victimized banks against private
bank on Randolph street. The
officials of this bank have already identi
fled the active agent of the conspiracy
and capias for him is in the hands of
the sheriff. The swindler, whose OPP
erations have already cost the banks
between 5000 and $1,000, has
done business under the names
of Henry Morton, Henry Cadman,
ID. ID. Wood and Robert Osborne. He was
q commission merchant on South Water
street. Under the name of Henry Csdman
he had in deposit the sum of $3.50. Cad
man, whose real name is supposed TO be
Henry Morton, is said TO have had small
amounts on deposit with four national
banks of Chicago. BY a simple system
of trading checks, he was able TO draw
between $4,000 and $1,000 in a single day
from these four banks on the strength of
his small deposits. His continued system
OF check trading aroused suspicion, but
not until Morton had overdrswn his
account with at least one
bank to the extent, it is said, of
$1,000. The detectives think the swindl-
ing operations are the result of well
planned conspiracy, and that Morton is
nothing more than a tool for clever men
with money.

FIGHTERS CARNIVAL.
Fitzsimmons Big Favorite Over His
Victim, Creedon.


NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 22.-The coming
hstic carnival OF the Olympic club is the
all absorbig topjc i'm the. local
little betting has been done,
tie, large sums will be staked on the re-
snlts. As far as can be determined at
present, Plimmer and Fitzsimmons
should be strong favorites, but opinion is
pretty evenly divided as TO the relative
merits of Abbott and Everhardt.
The contest is one of 25 rounds, and
many are under the impression that Abb
bot cannot punish fast enough to put out
his sturdy antagonist in that limit. In
his former fights here, Abbott hasn't
proved himself hard puncher, and in
fighting at 135 pounds Abbot is virtually
giving away or 8 pounds.
The pool room odds are to 5 and take
your pick. Plimmer has many friends
and admirers here and he can hardly fail
to go into the ring strong favorite. As
for the Fitzsimmons- Creedon fight, the
majority of sporting men here
argue that IL would be
strange il one generation could
produce two such fstic experts as Fitz-
simmons, and they will bet their money
accordingly, but reports from st. Louis
seem to indicate that there will soon be
here from that city several hundred sport
ing men who will be only too glad to take
the short end OF it in the great battle Of
the middle weights.
Abbott, Everhardt and Plimmer are all
under weight now. Johnny Murphy and
Jake Kilrain, his trainer, left Baltimore
for New Orleans Thursday niyht This
will bring them into this city today.

posed to be killed and wounded.
Tue buildings on the fair grounds, but
few rods away are demolished. In Great
Oak township, five miles distant, the
storm was very severe. Many
buildings are reported to have been
blown down but owing TO the confusion
that prevails, it is impossible to:obtain re-
liable reports. In this city the storm was
severe, but no serious damage was done.
From the Chicago Great Western Rail-
road offices it is learned the storm struck
New Haven, Ia, doing great damage to
property, and doctors have been called
