FREIGHT CAR THIEVES.
Marshal Burns Instrumental in
Landing a Bad Man.

A good catch was made last Thurs
day by Detective JAS. Duffy of To
ledo and Marshal Burns of this city.
On the morning of Nov. 1st, one of
the box cars of the Wabash freight
that pulled out of Toledo at 1850
and arrives here at o'clock was
broken into and a quantity of clothes
and overcoats made in Utica, n. Y,
and shipped to Pickley q Co., of Ft.
Wayne, was stolen. The robbery
was at once reported to the Wabash
detective force and as the freight
made only one stop, at White House,
between here and Toledo, the thieves
must have gotten on the train at
White House, stolen the goods and
Jumped off here. Things were kept
quiet, no one outside of the Toledo
force knowing anything about it.
On the morning in question, Fred.
Gerke, q young man working at
Liberty Center, informed Marshal
Burns that there were two men
down near Bruner's factory trying to
sell some new overcoats and clothes
at ridiculously low prices. The Mar
shal Immediately started down but
the game had got wind of it and
had flown and nothing more was
thought of the affair.
Several days after this the robbery
was reported to our Marshal by the
Wabash and Mr.. Burns told Detec-
tive Duffy of the clothes episode al
Burners factory. The two fellows
were spotted as the thieves. Last
Thursday a fellow was arrested on
suspicion at Toledo for trying to sell
some cigars. He had on new suit
of clothes and an overcoat which
Tailed with the goods stolen from
the car A photograph OF the man
was sent to Marshal Burns, who
went to Liberty Center and showed
it to Fred. Gerke. Mr.. Gerke was
positive that it was an exact
likeness of one of the men who was
selling the clothes at the factory
Word was sent to Toledo and Friday
evening the man was brought to Ma
poleon by Detectives John B. Solicit
and Jas. Duffy. He was given q pre-
liminary hearing before Squire
Hague and was bound oyer until thu
next term of court on the charge o
larceny.
He refuses to say anything excep
that his name is Jas. Smith, and tn
evidence is so overwhelming that h
is without doubt one of the freigh
robbers. Much credit is due Marsh
al Burns for this catch and he wa
warmly praised for his work b.
Chief Wabash Detective Solicit.
In recent interview the prisone
let fall some remarks to show tha
he is an old timer, although he wa
searched we'll at Toledo before bein
brought here, razor was found o
his person after his arrival which h
had managed to conceal.

A Startling Statement.

The statement that the banks of
this country lost more than twenty
five millions of dollars in the last year
by defalcation and embezzlement is
sufficiently startling to challenge at
tention. Not less significant is the
further statement that the annual
loss from these causes has risen in
ten years from three and a half mil
lions to ten, the aggregate for the
whole period being upward of one
hundred millions.
Experts attribute this increase not
merely to the growing tendency to
speculation, but to the inadequacy of
the methods of bookkeeping com-
monty in use in the banks, in proper
ton TO the great expanse of business.
The knowledge that an embeZzlement
is thus less likely to be detected is a
temptation to bank employees, and
even unusual care on the part of bank
directors can not be relied upon tC
make embezzlement impossible.
What is true of banks is also true Of
the accounts of all large establish
ments. and the real remedy seems tC
lie, as suggested, in the frequent eX
animation of the books of outside eX
perts. This plan should be adopted
not merely when suspicion is aroused
but as regular business system. s.
employed, it would be helpful to al
honest book-keepers, clerks and cash
iers, and would prevent much irregu
larity and loss.

1895, at the residence of the brides
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Nathan Hoy,
Charles Hartman and Miss Emma
Hoy. The bride is one of Henry
county's best girls, reared in the
midst of home of thoughtful cul-
ture. She steps from the environ
ments of her parents home into that
of her own, peculiarly fitted for her
newly assumed duties. The bride
was most beautifully attired in white,
dainty white slippers completed the
figure of bridal beauty. The groom,
a young gentleman of excellent cul.
ture and character, comes of one OF
the standard families of this county.
He was dressed faultlessly in the
regulation black. Mr.. Hoy, broth ell
of the bride and Miss Gertie Har t.
man, sister of the groom, were best
man and lady. They handsomely
assumed their part in the roll of q
pretty wedding service.
The menu was the latest in point
of variety and excellence, being
served in five courses; directed by
Misses Adams and Brooks. TIL
newly welded couple went to thei
own home, which was in waiting com
plete. A number of guests wer
present from abroad. The present
were numerous and complimentary tC

Chicago, Ills. The wedding service
was conducted by Rev. ]. Williams

The Ohio Patriot tells of new
swindle. Leonard Cline, an old sol
dier living near Greenbrier, Monroe
county, was swindled out of $35 in
money and note for $113, by two
sharpers, one day last week. The
two strangers drove up to his house
in buggy drawn by two fine dapple
gray horses, and told him they were
officers of the pension department.
They claimed that he had been draw
ing too much pension and demanded
the excess $148 threatening that if he
did not return it they would take him
to Columbus and then to Washington
city, to stand trial. Becoming
frightened Mr.. Cline gave the men
all the money he had $35 and a note
for the balance, after which the slick
sharpers skipped onto look out

The exposition speaks volumes for
the enterprise of the Cotton states,
and will do much towards command
ing the attention of capital and inn
migration towards the South, and
will give the Sunny South animpetus
which it has not enjoyed since the
close of the war. immigration is
now tending more to the South than
the West, it is said by those who are
in position to know. During the
stay Of the association in Atlanta, its
members had the pleasure of being
present at the exercises Of Pennsyl-
vania Day, Massachusetts Day,
Rhode Island Day and Kentucky
Day, all of which were red letter days
in the history of the exposition.
Atlanta is we'll built city, credit
to the South, in which it justly feels
proud. All the South now needs is
the infusion of Northern capital, and
men of push and energy, to make it
take rank with any other section OF
our great country. This it is now
acquiring.
Atlanta lacks in modern railway
depots, at least the one in which the
associations special was run was al
least twenty-five years behind the
times, and was wholly inadequate tc
accommodate the large travelling
public which Atlanta is now receiv
ing. 1t is not what Atlanta deserves
or should have, by a long ways.
The two roads over which the
Buckeyes special ran are well equip
ped, and did all in their power tt
make the trip one of pleasure. Boil
roads pass over much historical
ground, which makes the route no
only one of pleasure, but instructive
as we'll. If you wish to visit th'

COPPER COINS.
Some of Them More Valuable
Than Gold or Silver.
New York Ledger.)

New York Ledger)
1t is a curious fact that most numis-
matists are partial to collections of
copper rather than gold or even silver.
One of them said recently that he
would scarcely turn around to look
at a rare gold coin, while he would
travel miles to see an equally rare
copper one. This peculiar phenome-
non is explained in two ways. In the
first place, copper collections are
much safer from theft than those of
gold or silver, as the latter, if stolen,
may be melted and disposed of in
bulk at Il market price that is quite
an object to the burglar or sneak
thief.
The material, however, in old cop
per, bronze or brass coins of low face
value is not worth stealing, and the
coins themselves cannot be disposed
of without melting, as they can be
identified and the thief thus detected.
In the second place, it is not a rare
thing to find gold or silver coin,, es
pecially the formor, in a state of per-
feet preservation, while the reverse is
true of the copper coin. The latter,
being cheap and common, are not
boarded and preserved with the same
care as the more precious bits of met
al, but are exposed to physical bruis-
es, to the wear of the pocket, and to
the corrosive action of the atmo-
sphere. This makesa a perfect copper
coin an object of strong desire on the
part of the numismatist, who pre-
serves such find with greatest care.
One collector place his valuable col
lection Of cents in individual boxes
the coins being wrapped in cotton
and the whole stock packed away in
the vaults of a trust company.

LIMA NORTHERN.
Grading Being Pushed in Henry County.

There still fingers a feeling of doubt
in the minds of many of our citizens
as to the building of the Lima North
ern Railway. Why this doubt ex-
lists we are at a loss to conjecture, for
the work on the line is proceeding
just as fast as railroad projects gen
orally do proceed. In fact, the Lima
Northern from the start has had an
impetus which few roads have had,
and it will be completed and in run
ming order in comparatively short
time.
The entire right of way has been
secured from the Maumee river to
the south line of Henry county, and
before many more days the whole of
the right of way through this county
will have been secured. The grading
between Hamler and Malinta is al
most completed, and in a few days
the graders will be working between
Napoleon and Malinta, at the rate of
from one to three miles day.
There is now no room for doubt.
The Lima Northern will be built and
will be in running order within the
specified time of eighteen months.
If the road is not in running order
within that time, subscribers to the
guarantee fund will not be called up
on to pay penny.
Before many moons the toot of the
engine on the Lima Northern will be
heard and locomotives will be run
ming over an iron bridge at Napoleon.
A special from Lima to the Blade
says the work on the Lima Northern
road is being pushed as fast as pos
sible. One hundred men worked all
of last night extending the track
northward from the Lake Erie &
| Western road, so the company can
have room for enough storage tracks
to care for the large number of cars
of iron which are daily arriving.
The increased number of men put
on the grade between this city and
Ottawa will have the bed in shape
for the track laying machine to begin
work to-day. The road must be COM
pleted to Ottawa by December 1, or
much of the right of way forfeited.
