Deceptive Appearances.

The late Governor Throckmorton. of
Texas, was quite as famous at the bar
as in politics. One of his most notable
cases was the defense of man named
Bomar. who was accused of murder.
Mr.. Throckmorton soon discovered that
1.-THE evidence against his client was too
|strong to be overcome by any plea ex-
(cept that Of self-defense. but almost
|any other lawyer would have been non
kplussed by the discovery that the man
whom Bomar killed was in his shirt
sleeves at the time. and that no one had
(eeen him with weapon exposed. Mr.
|Throckmorton gave no sign Of dis
when these facts were
brought out. but at the proper juncture
Rof affairs he suddenly pulled of his
coat and waistcoat, and, turning
Ihround so that the jury could see every
hide of him. inquired whether, in their
Judgment, he was armed or not. The
answer in the negative was unanimous.
with q knowing smile. Mr.. Throckmor-
Ton proceeded to draw from under his

boots, and finally q huge bowie-knife
from under his shirt at the back Of the
neck. AS he laid the weapons In . row

RUSSIAN MlLLERS.

1ney Arc EndeavOring to Capture Our
Flour Markets.
Russian millers have decided Ia
make a determined effort to capture
some of the great flour markets of the
world. In welcoming the members Of
the milling trade at the congress Of
hour millers. which was opened at st.
Petersburg on Jan. Is and remained in
session for about eight days. NJ. Kov-
lovsky remarked that the minister Of
finance trusted that the main item on
the agenda would not be lost sight of.
He referred to the most practical way
Of promoting the export of -four from
Russia. Grain was a precious raw ma
terial. and was one of the richest of
the empire. but the country would new
er reap the full value of its harvests
until some means could be found of
utilizing all the grain raised by the
native farmer. That, he said, might
be asking very much, but it was the
ideal to keep before them, which they
should never lose from their sight. The
government is backing the enterprise,
and will make reduction in transport
alton rates to assist in its accomplish
ment. The query at the convention
was: If the United States could do SO
well why not they? True they saw that
the United States enjoys advantages
which have not fallen to the lot of Rus
STA, but on the other hand, Russia en-
Joys three advantages which the Unit
cd States have not, referring to the
excellence Of their raw material, to the
eheapness Of labor and to the proxim-
ity Of their foreign markets. Before
tho Americans managed to make their
Hour known in the markets Of Europe

THE BUNco MEMS TRUST.
How Imprisoned Criminals Secure Money
to Escape the Law.

How Imprisoned Criminals Secure Money
to Escape the Law.
1t is often a matter of speculation
where the professional crook OF the
higher class gets his financial aid when
picked up by the police in the city in
which he chances to be plying his vo-
cation. As a general thing when
well-known crook is arrested he has
no money and apparently not friend
in the city, yet he always manages TO
get the best legal talent obtainable and
he is granted every privilege that the
lavish expenditure of money can obtain
for him. Police Inspector Byrnes OF
New York has discovered the secret.
According to this eminent authority,
crooks with record for big and dar-
ing jobs in which big sums are involv-
ed belong to fraternal order known as
the "Bunco Mems Trust" The order
according to Information which Ch,ef
o. Police Speers possesses, has now
membership of two hundred men with
an emergency fund of $750,000. The
order is maintained by each member
turning into the fund per cent of his
stealings. This money is used to aid
any member of the trust to escape the
law. He is provided with money tG
employ an attorney, or dozen of them
should his case be desperate; for his
maintenance, and the employ OF
friends" at the place of his confine-
ment. Hailing signs and passwords, as
in secret orders. are used by members.
-Four men handle the funds of the Or
der and they are paid liberal salaries
to be honest. The headquarters OF the
trust is in New York. The trust was
started by Joe Bond, alias Paper Col
lar Joe;;" Charles Mason, alias Boston
Charlie" Joe Lewis, alias Hungry
JOe;" Pete Lake, alias Grand Central
Pete;;' DOC" Coons. Jim Fitzgerald.
Tip Farrell, Pop" White, big jim
Casey and others. They are all conf
dence men and the total amount OF
their dishonesty is fully 100000. All
are known to the police of every city in
this country and on the continent OF
Europe. 1t was this trust that aided
Tom O'Brian, the king of confidence
men," who is now before the public as
the slayer of Reed Waddell, his part
agent, Frank Smith, alias Doc" Min
chor, is now on trial at Rome, n. ",
for assisting O'Brian to escape.

ALMOST PRICELESS.
Col. Platt 3. Walker, of Minneapolis

Col. Platt 3. Walker, of Minneapolis,
has Just returned from an extended trip
South, including in his travels New
Orleans, ST. Louis and other cities.
While in ST. Louis he was presented
with relic of rare interest and value,
saws the ST. Paul Globe. 1t is solid
silver square and compass of the 32d
degree Scottish Rite Masons, taken
from the tomb of one of the old Span
ish Governors of st. Louis. where it
was deposited in the year $780, 1t is
of little intrinsic value, aside from
its interest as historic relic, contain
ing several ounces Of pure silver; but
when considering it as relic o! 200
years ago, taken from the tomb of a
man whose very name has been forgot
ten, there is no computing its value.
At the intersection of the two prongs
Of the compass and just above the let
ter &c, y there was originally a jewel,
probably a diamond or some other
precious stone, and the relic plain
ly shows the mark where it was
set. The relic was taken from one Of
the tombs in Cemetery No. l, where
the old governors and patriaichs of st.
Louis were buried 200 years ago. Gov
ernor Bienville, the first Spanish gov
ernor Of the fort; Governor Claybourn,
Governor Bruedler and other digui-
taries of the oli city We're buried there
in the walled-up sepulchres which
stand above the ground, but the tombs
have fallen into decay, the stones have
crumbled to dust and the very names
of the dead have become obliterated
from tue marble as they have from the
memory of man.
The tombs are being torn down and
the ground will be occupied for burial
purposes by the present. generation.
The old sexton mas been in charge of
the dead for City years. and, while the
work OF demolition was in progress, he
took from Que of the tombs this relic.
1t fell into the hand of an association of
Confederate veterans, who in turn pre-
