BRoCKWAY'S NEW HAVEN CA
REER.
Brockway was, as stated above, born
in North Haven or near there He is
we'll remembered by many Of our Con-
necticut oldest citizens and 1t was in
New Haven that he first began his
career as criminal. He worked for
Deacon Olmstead, noted New Haven
| jeweler in his day, and whose place of
business was on the south side of Chap
Ell street, between Orange and State
streets. Brockway's first deed was to
rob his employer He managed to take
an impression of the lock of the safe
and entered the store one night and
took all the jewelry out Of the safe.
He was not suspected and he repeated
this trick three times, After each bur-
glary Olmstead was forced to assign.
Brockway learned engraving and be-
came an expert, earning good wages
and saving sufficient to pay for spec
| ial course in .electro-chemistry at Yale.
His first counterfeiting was done in
New Haven. In those days, early In
the forties, there were no regular en-
gravers and the jewelers. did the en-
craving of the plates for bank notes,
bonds. etc.
Olmstead did the work for the New
Haven bank and Brockway, who was
his assistant, was given the engraving
of a plate for that bank. He succeeded
lin making an impression of the plate
flor himself, struck off some bonds, forg.
ed the names of the president and cash
Ter and put them out In circulation. Al
though the bank kept record of theil
notes and bonds in order to proven
counterfeiting, nevertheless 1t was some
time before Brockway's work was dis
covered Brockway was at one TIM
employed by Gorham the lithographel
and card engraver.
He lived here for several years ant
married a Miss Olmstead, who, how
ever, was no relation of Deacon Ohm
stead She was a very handsome wo
imam and is also we'll remembered herr
by our older residents. At one tim
latter her husband became a crimina
she worked at the Candee rubber fac
tory.

In the past few days have been gath
erlng in, in this city and Hoboken, the
biggest gang of counterfelters that they
have ever had to cope with. For two
years and half the federal govern
ment has expended every energy and
effort that money could control to Sc,
cure the gang, The connections of the
gang extended over three states and
they had agents in several of the prin-
cipal cities.
The leaders of the gang were DR.. O..
b. Bradford who was ostensibly dem
fist in this city and who has a states
prison record and old William e.
Brockway, the noted counterfeiter, who
returned to his trade at the age of
\ seventy-three although he had thirty
year sentence, imposed in 1880, hanging
over his head to be put in force If he
should be ever arrested again for coun-
terfeiting. AS a result of his labors
Chief Hason, who has been secretly in
town for the past ten days, has sue
ceeded in arresting five of the princi-
pal members OF the gang. One, how
\ ever, DR.. Bradford, who is supposed
to be the leader and chief agent OF
the gang, slipped through the hands
of two secret service officials and made
4 good his escape.

BROCKWAY,s ARREST.
He Had a $500 Gold Certificate on His

Person When Caught.
New York, Aug. 6.-From Mrs. Smiths
statement in the counterfeiters case it
was learned that the fibre paper was
made in the house. Specimens con-
fiscated We're pronounced by experts to
be the finest ever made by counter
feiters. Chief Hason after making the
arrests came to New York on the trail
1 of DIR. Bradford. He had no difficulty
in locating him. The doctor had a flat
on the second floor, Third avenue, near
Thirty-fourth street, the front part Of
which he used as his dentists office.
The other rooms were apparently Sleep
ing rooms for his housekeeper and as
sistantsA Hason arrived at the flat
at 6:45 on Saturday night. He saw
DR.. Bradford and placed him under ar
rest.
The chief not having arrested Brock
way, decided to keep Bradford under
guard, fearing that if he took him to
a. police station the matter might be,
come public and Broekway be warned,
So he remained in the fiat until 11:4t
Saturday night. He left Detectives
Calligan and Burns on guard. Calligan
was stationed in the front part of the
fiat and Burns in the rear room The
\ doors were locked and the detectives
had the keys. Chief Hason went home
expecting that the others would be ar
rested on Sunday, when their arrest
would attract the least attention. Al
7:15 o'clock Sunday morning he went
back to Bradford's fiat and found only
Calligan there. The latter said thai
the doctor had just escaped and thai
Burns had started to scour the neigh
borhood for him. Burns came back
however, without his man.
I TAKEN TO JERSEY CITY.
Brockway was arrested at o'clocl
last night at his house in Avenue I
and taken to Jersey City, where, with

AS OTHERS SEE US.

Mr.. A. w. Prescott, teacher of the Clat-
sop school during the last two years, Is
now in Salem, and writes that not only
the business men but the farmers also
of THE willamette valley are taking great
interest in the outcome of the Astoria
railroad transactions. They feel that the
road Is certain and that 1t will be q
benefit to the producers and shippers
throughout the valley.
Superintendent G. M. Irwin, who lee
lures in the M. e. church next Friday
evening, is probably one of the busiest
public men of Oregon at the present tine,
The many normal schools and colleges
throughout the state are holding their
annual commencement exercises and each
erdeavors to secure as one of the lead
ing features, lecture by the state SUPER
intendent.
MIR. Irwin is man Of great literary
ability, Of broad intelligence and of pro-
gressive ideas. During the short time he
has been IN office hle has not only con-
Quoted his official affairs with great credit
to himself, but has gone beyond the sim
pie requirements Of law, and by means of
many addresses delivered throughout the
state, has stirred' up such am enthusiasm
in educational matters as has never been
felt before in Oregon. We predict for
those who hear him Friday evening a
rare treat.

WHEELING INTO LINE.

The prediction has often been made thai
before the next presidential campaign
opens the republican party would be
sold for sound money from one end OF
the country to the other, outside the
silver mining camps that it needed only
few bold and Intelligent leaders in
the states where demagogues have led the
party aStray to write tine principles OF
common business sense and honesty upon
the republican standard; that the sham
and fraud of free silver would sink away
from the light of free and frank discus
sion, and that upon that issue, squarely
Joined and boldly tried, the republicans
of Kansas, Nebraska, North and South
Dakota, Oregon and Washington could be
relied on to wheel those states in line
with the republican party on an honest
money platform In fact an immense
change of public sentiment is already go
ing on in those states 1t is significant
that Congressman johnson of North Da-
koba, who Is supposed to be candidate
for Hansbrough's seat in the senate, has
openly repudiated the free silver folly.
There is no doubt that the intelligent
sentiment, the dominant sentiment of the
republicans of that state, is on the side
of the dollar that is as good as every
other dollar.
Kansas Is one of the states that is
usually regarded as ineXtrfcably welded
to free silver. This is because the Peo-
pies party, which for time swept all
before 1t, is solid for free silver, and II
Is towing the democratic party after It
In the same current. But the Topeka
Capital believes that the republican party
Of Kansas Is in harmony with the ma
tional policy of the party and in favor of
the maintenance of the present parity or
dollars on the present standard. The re-
publican papers of the state nre by
very large majority for good money. OF
the 1O2 republican newspapers Of Kan,
sas seventeen are for free coinage, while
eighty-ive stand squarely upon the
money plank of the last national repub-
lican platform. In addition several or
the leading democratic papers are on the
same side Eighty per cent of the weekly
republican papers of Kansas are against
free silver and many of them are active
ly fighting against it. Not only that, but
we are assured the tide has turned IN
Kansas. The fighting force for sound
money is winning adIherents every week.
And the change that is going on IN
Kansas illustrates u similar change OF
public sentiment among the intelligent
classes of other states in the group we
have mentioned. The logic of monetary
facts is aided by the logic of events.
Free silver is chiefly a vague impression
Of discomfort. 1t feeds on poverty ana
hard times. 1t cannot stand prosperity.
With a good harvest, with good prices for
the farmers products this fan, THE free
silver obsession VIII pass away like II
bad dream after a drunk on forty-rod
whisky.-Exchhnge.
