SWINDLED THE OLD SALTS
W. B. Hayden, a Well-known Alex
andrian, Wanted by the Police.
He Pretended TO Be Port Warden,
Boarded Two 'Schooners, and Got
Money From Their Captains.

William B. Hayden, prominent young
steamboat engineer of Alexandria, is
wanted by the police ON the charge OF hav-
ing perpetrated very clever swindling
trick with the pocket books of two cap
tains of schooners recently at that port
and obtaining small sum of money from
each.
There was many years ago an officer
known as the port warden" whose duty
it was 10 board all vessels coming into
Alexandra port, and after inspecting
them and seeing that their hatch seals had
not been tampered With, TO give them GER
uflcate allowing them 20 dock and unload.
1hls office has been discontinued for
many years, but II is alleged that short
time since Hayden revived it, and, going on
board the schooner c Morris Perrott, Capt.
Randolph, when 1t arrived with a cargo of
Nova Scotia plaster, he made an eXamina-
ton OF the vessel and, after giving a re-
ceipt, departed
a few days afterward Hayden, IL is
said, boarded the schooner Jennie Mid
adleton, which arrived with a cargo Of
fertilizer materials for Herbert Byant, and,
repeating the same performance, obtained
S4 from Capt. Ketcham, her commander.
Capt Retcham, however, had- been a
trequeut visitor TO the port, and believing
something was wrong, as he had never
run across an officer as port warden
on his other trips, he inquired about it and
found that he had been sWtndled. He then
swore out warrant for Hayden's arrest.
AT the station he exhibited a receipt,
allowing the Middleton to land, signed by
Hayden. The Alexandria police have been
looking for Hayden, but have not yet been
able 10 flud him, and 1T is said that he
crossed the river yesterday morning and is
now Id hiding in Maryland or the District.
Mr.. Hayden has always heretofore borne
the very best reputation and his friends
are at loss to understand why he should
have committed the fraud. 1t is said that
he VIII return to town in a day or two 10

To the Editor OF tho New York Sun:
SIR-At the University of Virginia IL

edition Of this year copy tho following;
AN UNPUBLISHED POEM BY EDGAR AL
Lam POE.
The following poem was discovered by Mr..
H. Dalton Dillard ON Feb. x3 1896, In volume
OF Rollins "Histoire Ancienne" In the uni
versity library. A search Of the records by ths
librarian, Mr.. Page showed that the book had
bsen borrowed by Poe while q student here.
and that II had not been taken out since his
time.
In this poem the peculiar genius Of Poe ma,
be seen at hrst glance, and traces Of the phi
losophy that marks "The Raven" Dream
land" and other productions Of his lonesome
latter years are clearly apparent. AS tho poem
must have been written when the boy poet
was only II years old. IL IL thus interesting IN
that IL disproves the statement OF his biogra
phors that there was nothing cynical In the
tendenty Of any OF his earlier poems.
The manuscript IL not particularly neat. In
the third stanza especially several alterations
and erasures occur. We print the poem in full
together with fac-simile OF the last stanza,
showing the chirography and signature:
MY SOUL.
Sailing over seas abysmal
From world OF shame
Once IA vessel, strange and dismal
Phantom vcssc-camo
Toward IA fairy isle and olden
Where Ill angels unboholden
Tenantod fatcs ghostly golden
Fame Of doom and fame.
Fame Of fame by seraphs builded
In the days OF yore,
There, "a temple chased and gilded,
From the earthly shore
Up to heaven rose 10 cleaning,
All with hope and beauty beaming.
Like "A dream OF Aidenn seeming,
Had II seemed no more.
But tho pilot steering
For that temple bright
Ever found tho island veering
From his aching sight,
Till from nightly shores appalling
Came the solemn darkness falling,
In its hungry clasp enthralling
Land and sea and light.
Then the vessel sinking, lifting
Over hopes sublime
(Perished hopesD came drifting, drifting
To wild, wierd cline.
There, a visitor undaunted
In that desert land enchanted,
Still IL seen the vessel haunted
Out OF SPACE and TINE.
The photogravure illustration Of the
manuscript leaves no doubt Of the genu
ineness of the poem.
