HE FOOLED THE
FOUR HUNDRED
GOTHAMs SOCIETY ON THE
RAGGED EDGE OF DESPAIR.
A Slick Thief Enters "Sassiety" by
Means of Forged Letters of Intro
duction, and Many Admirers Have
Been Made to Mourn His Sudden
Disappearance.

New York, April 25.-Some curious
facts have just leaked out concerning
a certain young Englishman, who, dur
ing the past social season has been
conspicuous among the very fashiona-
bic set. and a frequent guest at the
aristocratic clubs of the city. He posed
as a great swell and had introductions
to a number of the best families among
the 400. Not few envied his popular
ity while the season was at its height,
but now public opinion has changed in
regard to him.
He left New York suddenly on Sat
urdaY .lasts-bXr one of the outgoing
steamers, and when he went, it is said,
it was under a very dark cloud In
fact he was warned by a committee of
his indignant fellow countrymen that
he did not have time even to leave
cards with those who had so gener-
ously entertained him during his stay
in New York, to which he had been in
vited. The secret of his hurried depar-
ture is said to have been the discovery
that the man was either a confirmed
thief or hopeless kleptomaniac. Money,
jewelry and other valuables belonging
to his friends and acquaintance have
been disappearing mysteriously all
winter long, and it was not until a
few days ago that his systematic
thieying was traced to him.
Then there was an explosion. He
was visited last Friday by vigilance
committee, made full confession of
his guilt, and was told that he must
get out of town within twenty-four
hours. This he did, only taking one
hour to pack his grip. Since this ex-
posture it has been learned that the
young man had by no means a savory
reputation in England and that he has
been guilty of the same dishonest prac-
tees in London. 1t appears that he
was received in New York entirely on
trust and letters of introduction, which
he brought with him, are. believed to
have been spurious. AS he was of
good address and polished manners, his
sponsors among the 400 were easily de-
ceived by his wiles, and he has left
them all in a very embarrassing posi-
ton.

A JUROR IN A PICKLE.
Big Bank Wrecking Case Has Been
Postponed.


Postponed.
Indianapolis, Ind, April 25.-The trial
of Frank and Percival Coffin and A
! S. Reed, of the Indianapolis Cabinet
company, for aiding T. P. Haughey,
president of the Indianapolis bank, in
wrecking that institution, was resumed
this afternoon.
At noon, Judge Baker announced
that there was in his possession evil
dence that Juror Alvin Armstrong of
! Lawrence county, had been guilty of
conspiracy and corruption against the
government by attempting to enter in
to a compact with the defendants to
hang the jury for a consideration of
$4,000. The juror was arrested as he
sat in the box, the jury was dis
charged, and court adjourned until
next Tuesday when a new jury will
be selected from the May venire and
! the sensational case will be commenced
ment $4,000, which is lost.
The details of the crime of Juror
Armstrong were equally sensational
! and involved Frank o. Stannard, of
! Lawrence county, who was arrested
at once as he sat as a delegate in the
| Republican state convention, but d
square away. Armstrong and Stannard
raisers in Lawrence county and during
the latter part OF last week, while both
were at home they met in Bedford
and agreed that when they came to
Indianapolis Monday, Stannard was to
see one of the Collins and make an
agreement that for $1,000, to be equally
divided between them, Armstrong
would hang the jury. They came to
this city on Sunday night, and Monday
Stannard called upon one Of the at
torneys for the defense at his Office
and asked to see one of the Collins per-
sonally.
Mr.. Claypool, suspecting something,
sent for F. A. Coffin and after the two
had retired to private room, Stannard
made his proposition on behalf Of Arm
strong, the juror Coffin said he
doubted what he said and must see his
attorneys.
Arranging another meeting with
Stannard and Armstrong that evening,
Coffin told his counsel what had
happened and they carried the news
directl.r to Judge Baker, of the United
States district court, who is trying the
case.
The court directed that the evidence
against the two men be secured so as
to secure their conviction, and acting
under this advice the meeting with
Armstrong and Stannard was arranged
for last night. A stenographer was
present and the compact was duly COM
pleted and witnessed. Armstrong was
| to hang the jury and he and Stannard
were to each get $4,000.
Armed with this damning evidence,
the defendants and counsel laid the
matter before the court this morning.
He announced the proof satisfactory
and as soon as the jury had been
brought before him, discharged it and
placed Armstrong under arrest.
At 2 o'clock, he and Stannard were
brought before him and placed under
900 bond to appear before him next
Monday for trial and sentence.
Stannard is of the firm of Stannard
Bros, extensive stock raisers of Law
renee county, president of the Big Fair
association, and secretary of the Bed
ford Fair and Trotting association; he
is also administrator Of. a big estate.

nese laborers to come in indirect con-
travention of the exclusion laws passed
by Congress.

GAINESVILLE Wis, April 25.-Important
changes were recommended by depart
ment officers in their reports before the
'twenty-eighth annual encampment of
the Wisconsin G. A. r. today. The at
tendance was fully 600, and will be
swelled to 1000 by further arrivals.
Commander E. a. Shores announced in
his summary of the years work that
about $414, 900 had been spent in charity
by the Wisconsin posts during last year.
The solid front presented by the order
here and in other states had done much
to repress unfriendly pension legisla-
ton, Commander Shores insisted.
Acknowledgement Sampson reported a
decrease in active membership during
the last year of 3S1. Four times as
many were mustered in as died during
the year, but LOO were put on the
roll as suspended. A radical alteration
in the practice concerning suspension
was demanded, so that the dues of men
mitted. Afternoon instead of evening
meetings were recommended in forming
districts. Both commander and adju-
tant made plea for a permanent head
quarters.
Caleb Watrous, of Milwaukee, and
Captain L. K. Billings, of Rhineland,
are in the lead for the commandership.
Captain Mangan, of Fond Du Lac, and
Captain Richard Carey, of DodgeviIle,
are the other candidates.

Great Northern Strike Is No Nearer
a Solution.

Solution.
St. Paul, Mimi, April 25.-The commit
tee from the American Railway Union
that is trying to arrange the wage
schedule on the Great Northern spent
all the day with President Hill trying
to convince that official they were the
regularly accredited representatives of
his employees, but the day ended with
out their object having been attained
There are thirty-three members of the
committee, coming from all branches
of the road, and Mr.. Hill went over the
pay rolls of the company in the first
place to find whether the men were
as they claimed, employees Of the COM
pany.
This matter being setted, the ques-
ton was whether they represented all
Of their co-employeeS. Mr. Hill ex-
planned that he did not wish to settle
the matter with them, and then find
that they were not what they claimed
and have to settle the difficulties all
over again. Mr.. Hill wanted the men
to go back to work pending a settle
nent Of the differences. This last sug-
geStion was promptly negatived by
President Debs, Of the union, who an
nounced the men did not propose to do
anything until the whole trouble was
settled for good. When the committee
came together in this conference, they
presented the demands that they con-
sidered necessary to be adopted before
they would consider any proposals to
resume work. These demands include
a return to the scale of wages in force
prior to last August; that the switch
men at Helena and Great Falls receive
the same pay as those at Butte; that
the management pledge themselves to
sign the schdule Of wages in force prior
to last August; that if necessary to
reduce expenses the hours be reduced
instead of men being discharged The
conference will be resumed in the
morning

San Francisco, April 25.-The Call
says: BY the action Of the board OF
directors of the Pacific Improvement
company at their meeting yesterday,
it was decided to place property valued
at from ten TO twenty million dollars in
charge of the land department of the
Central Pacific road for disposal.
The Pacific Improvement company,
and the Southern Pacific, although or
ganized under different charters, are
practically one and the same, as the
stock of both corporations is now
owned in great part by the same per-
sons.
Various reasons are surmised for the
selling of the Pacific Improvement
company. One is that Mrs. Stanford,
who is heavy stockholder, is anxious
to secure a large amount of ready
cash in order to carry out the wishes
Of her late husband.
Another reason is that the affairs OF
the Pacific Improvement company have
not been prosperous lately, and that
its days of usefulness as an auxiliary
of the Southern Pacific have passed.
The officers of the company, however,
deny that it is the intention to dissolve
the corporation.
The sale will include considera bly,
over 1900 acres Of fand scattered over
the states of California, Oregon, Ne
vada. and Utah. Some if it is i'm
proved, and some of it is not. Also
included in the list are 135 townsites,
comprising such places as Reno, True
kee, Corning, Willows, Montague, Mer-
ced and others on the lines of the
Southern Pacific and its branches.
Near Santa Barbara are 1000 acres,
an IN Siskiyou county are 50, 500 acres,
$4,000 Of which are under fence. The
great Hotel Del Monte, at Monterey,
will also probably be placed on the
market though it is not yet decided.
The property at Monterey comprises
14.G01 acres.
Pacific Grove and FL Carmelo, near
Monterey, and the big hotel at Castle
Crags. near Mount Shasta, will also
be sold.

TRAT sPoOK DANCE.

At a recent charity entertainment the
last number on the programme was set
down as a ''spook" dance "Spook," DR..
Howard Furness tells us. is the word
from which Shakespeare's name for
Puck is derived. No one at this party
could imagine what the spook dance was
to be- When the curtain was drawn
there appeared row Of seven figures
draped in white and with extremely hid
eous faces. When they danced their
knees bent backward instead Of forward,
and other motions were equally puzzling
until ii was discovered that the spooks
wore their faces on the backs of their
heads and danced backward instead of
forward.-Philadelph Ledger.
