we had passed through the propaedeu.
tical period we were to become adopts,
and several other wonderful things,
with extraordinary titles. We dropped
him then and there"
Howard's most signal accomplish
ment as fakir was in his dealings
with the Spechts, and other prominent
St. Louis families, who became con-
verts to his theosophical teachings, and
credited him, as some still do, with be-
ing a superior creation. One of the
charges against him is the pawning OF
Mrs. Specht's diamonds in st. Louis.
They were valued at $3.50, and he Sc
cured $500 on them. After getting the
money he and his wife stopped at the
Hotel Endicott for about two months.
The money was used in speculating in
,utures, bucket-shops, &C., without any
success.
DR.. Sylvester L. Nidelet, of St.Louis
had practice of between $4,000 and
SIS 700 per year. Howard evidently
caught him in his spiritualistic work
and successful bucket-shop deals while
he was in St. Louis.
CELSIUS Price, son of eX-Gov. Price,
of Missouri, Confederate general, was
caught also by Howard's evident
knowledge of how to work the bucket
shops under his astronomical key.
Price seemed to be taken so with his
belief in Howard that he induced his
own sister, Mrs. ]. B. Willis, of Gal
weston, Tex, to promise Howard $1,000
in Texas land. But when Howard and
his wife went for it the husband refused
to make good his wife's promise.
The Wilder Brothers are the largest
furniture dealers in Montreal. The
wife of the senior brother was taken ill.
Howard was her physician. 1t is said
that she promised him $1,000 for
his work in her will. She died
after long illness and her
husband shot himself shortly af-
ter her death. When Wilder commit
ted suicide Howard was in Montreal to
see about the S., 5000 left him by Mrs.
Wilder. Howard, however, failed to
get any money, as he said Wilder had
lost everything he had, Howard ad-
mitted that Wilder committed suicide
with Howard's own weapon orrevolver.
An insurance company was mulcted
by Howard out of 81, ,750 on what they
call the death-claim racket. Howard,
under an assumed name, would get
young man insured for his benefit, and
would substitute some corpse answer
ing the description and age of the iu-
sured, that was either found dead by
accident or otherwise, es the man in-
sured, and claimed the insurance
money. The name he passed under as
beneficiary in this company was Will
son Bingham, and they are very
anxious to get sight of Howa~d. The
second company he swindled lost about
$4,000 in the same way, under the pame
of E. S. Norman.
There are long series of additional
cases in which Howard figured, and
in New Jersey town was found cotton
broker who claims that Howard feeced
him out of $400 OH raised warehouse
receipt.
Late adv ces through the insurance
companies which Howard de..auded
say Howard had not, up to the 22d,
returned to Montreal, but that he is
located. Mrs. W. L. G. B. Allen, of
St. Louis Mr.. and Mrs. Howard, e'ias

AVENGED A wIFE's HONOR.


ST. LOUIS, Aug. 23.--A special to The
Republic, from Louisiana says: A trag-
edy was enacted yesterday about eight
miles from this city in Buffalo township,
in which John Irby, about 30 years old,
was shot and killed by Oscar Purga-
han, a German farmer. The story
OF the farmer is that Purghan went to
the farmers while absent in this city
Monday night, and with drawn revolver
compelled Purghan's wife TO submit to
him, and then threatened her with
death if she ever told Of his crime. She
told a neighbor of the affair who told
Purghan, who Immediately hurried home
and taking his gun, he started in search
OF lrby. He came across him near the
house coming to town in his wagon.
Purgahan says that Irby made demon
stration as II TO attack him and he shot
him twice. Purgahan gave himself
up to the authorities and his preliminary
examination was set for Monday next,
his bond being fixed at $1,000.
