A SCHEME THAT FAILED.

HOW A FORGED CHECK WAS NOT PAID.
An attempt was made Tuesday after
noon to palm off on the local bank a
forged'check for about $50 bearing the
alleged signature of Mr.. Joseph Battell.
1t was not paid.
Among several cOmpositors who
worked for Mr.. Battell last summer and
fall setting the type for the first volume
Register" was French Canadian
named Joseph Jarvis. lie was discharg-
ed early in the winter, the bulk OF the
work having been put in type and his
services being needed no Longer. He
came originally from Rouse's Point.
but where he went is not known.
About ten days ago Jarvis reappeared
here with companion. They had no
apparent business in town, but claimed,
we understand, that they were to go to
work for Mr.. Battell. They lived at
the boarding house kept by Ed. Gou-
lette near the railway station. On
Tuesday afternoon the two men went
to the bank and asked to have cashed Il
check for about $3.50. 1t was made
payable to the order of Fred Cloutier,
which is supposed to be the name of
Jarvis companion, and bore what pur-
ported to be Mr.. Battell's signature
The signature was fairly well initiated,
but the size of the check aroused the
suspicious of Assistant Cashier John A.
Fletcher and lie questioned the men
tell gave the check IN payment for a
horse and that he and Cloutier had hecn
living in Cornwall; when questioned as
to Cornwall, however, neither of them
showed any knowledge of the people.
Mr.. Fletcher declined to cash the check
and the men left the bank. They got
out of town that day, going in such
haste that they forgot to pay their board
bills. 1t is believed they are now in
Canada.
Jarvis aid the rest of the force en-
ployed on the Morgan book were paid
by check. 1t looks as If Jarvis and his
companion came back here for the
special purpose of working" the bank
in the fashion they tried. Cloutier said
while here that he had been employed on
the Free Press in Burlington.
The officers have been looking for the
men, and yesterday two persons sup
posed to be the offenders were captur d
in Rutland. The Identification has not
been completed as we go to press.

The low price of silver having set in
genious artisans in the West to coming
silver dollars every whit as good as the
genuine, the senate is investigating to
see if the production of such coins is
punishable as crime under our laws.
Unless something is done in this direc-
tion, we shall soon have altogether too
much silver ahoat, whether the Bland
doctrine prevails or fails to meet the ap-
proval of congress. Up to yesterday,
when the bill would have become law
without his sanction, President Cleve-
land had not acted upon the Bland bill

That "army of peace" which set out
last Sunday from Massilon, o., under
the leadership of crank named Coxey,
for the purpose of marching to Washing
ton and personally laying the grievances
of its members before congress, is max
ing some progress, although the bad
weather has discouraged some of the re-
cruits. Coxey, the head of the thing,
gets on very comfortably, as he rides in
carriage and sleeps at hotels. The

of scantily-clOthed tramps, does not fare

There was good deal of laughter at
Gov. Fuller last year over his bill for
three-inch wagon tires But some receot
experiments at the Ohio State university
rather back up the governors idea. 1t
was found by these experiments that "A
double team could draw, upon an ordi-
nary wagon, fitted with three-inch tires,
Just twice AS heavy load as upon a
wagon with the usual narrow tires, the
trial having taken place upon an ordinary
earth road. 1t has been found also that
the wide tire helps to keep the earth
roads in order, by rolling them fiat and
smooth instead of cutting them into
ruts. This is so well understood in old
countries, that some European countries
lay Il tax on the narrow tires, and the
money thus accumulated is spent in
keeping the roads in repair. One agri-
cultural writer, commenting on these
experiments. figures that the loss to the
farmers of this country from the use of
narrow tires by the wear and tear of
horse flesh and the loss of time. amounts
to the enormous sum of $500, 200

RiOTOUS MINERS
Demolish Machinery In a Mine
at CentraIia, Ill.

Centralis, ILL.,, May 24.-About
500 striking miners from Duquoin
and St. Johns mines arrived in
this city today on an Illinois Cen
trail freight train and proceeded to
the Big -Four mine, operated by Pot
tenger & Davis. They demolished
considerable machinery and filled
the shaft with debris. Every glass
and cash in the build
ings was smashed. The
total damage to property is Is, 900.
1.-The Big Four mines for the past
three days have been running with
about thirty men, and yesterday
they refused to come out at the re-
quest of the local committee. The
Duquoin strikers boarded a freight
train in that city and forced
Engineer Charles Stewart to haul
them here. Sheriff Helms was
notified at Salem that the men were
coming and a special engine was
sent to convey him here, but he did
not arrive in time to prevent the de.
struction of the property.
The striking miners held a meet.
ing and left the city on foot for
Odin, eight miles north of here, to
shut down the mine there.
The sheriff has sworn in about
fifty deputies, who were equipped
with Winchesters from the armory
here and left for Odin on a special
train.
The miners are we'll armed with
pistols and plenty of ammunition.

ing by the strikers as by
the deputies. Among the
wounded are three deputies,
while the killed are all strikers.
When the workmen came to the
strikers in the public road they were
asked to go home. The workmen
were about TO comply with the com.
mand, when the the deputies rushed
into the midst of the men, got
possession of the workmen and
marched them to the pit.
In this part of the performance a
deputy sheriff fired the shot which
opened up the battle. There
was volley after volley
fred by each side at
close range. The strikers stood
their ground, while their comrades
were falling one by one, but their
ammunition giving out, and it re.
curing too much time to load their
shot guns, they were forced to give
up the fight and flee to escape the
bullets from the Winchesters.
1t is said the strikers were ad-
vancing on the line of deputies when
the latter fired the first shot.
A large number of strikers were
arrested by the deputies today who
had guns in the their possession, and
who were equipped with ammuni.
ton. They are now held prisoners
and will be brought to Jail together
here.

but increased. The public schools

In the afternoon she

Congratulations were received by
