A swINpLER CAPTURED.

Marshal Becherer received letter Wednes.
day from the authorities at Washington, in re-
gard to Charles NJ. Richardson, the man who
was arrested at Newark for an alleged patent
right swindle, and who is wanted in Canton
for the same offence. The letter stated that in
July, 1894, Charles NJ. Richardson, alias ]. V.
Reed sold to William King patent cOmbina-
ton stepladder truck for $3.50. He was 10.
Gated February TO- at HagerstOwn Maryland,
and brought back to Washington. The case
was nolled on account Of clause in the agree
ment which read, "If at any time in the fut-
urc this agreement is not satisfactory the
money paid will be refunded on demand"
The man goes by the names Of Charles NJ.
Richardson, J. v Reed, j. G. Simpson and A.
c. Hill His linen is marked Hill. He left
for Albany, \. V, after his reasc in Wash,
ingtOn, but the letter stated that if he
was wanted in Canton they would locate him
for the Canton police. 1t is not likely he will
be brought back to Canton, as it is understood
that the same clause is in the Canton agree
ments, only ii reads, within 30 days" instead
of any time in the future. The expense woult
| be too great to get him back, as il is probable
he would make settlement and then the cas-,
would be dropped.

VIM. A. Lynch Interviewed.
A News reporter saw VIM A. Lynch Mon
day morning in regard to the new company.
He stated that the reorganization had been al.
most unanimous. less than five per cent in
amount of the creditors still remain out
In answer to question as to how long a
time would be allowed for the creditors to come
in, he stated that the creditors committee
would go forward at once and close matters.
/ At least he had been so informed by the com.
mittcc. He thought the works would go into
operation early in March, to a limited extent,
and then the force be increased as fast as pos.
sible. Mr.. Lynch expressed his qualification
! that the creditors had favored the reorganiza
| tion so generally as it would furnish work fol
number of Canton workmen, but Just how
many he could not say at present. The works
will continue in the same line of business as
| formerly and some other lines will also bC
added Just what the new lines will be can
not be fully determined until after the organi
zation is completed and the directors get affairs
into working order

ABB. Hollis ARREST.
The Story of His Shortage and Flight
Retoid.

Valdosta Ca, Jan. 1.-The reported ar
rest of Alb +. Holt at New Orleans for en-
bezzlement in the postofiice here was not
a surprise to those who have been on the
inside of affairs since Holt was removed
from office early in the fall Among the
first papers that Postmaster Pendleton
received in Washington was a draft on
Holt for S2,2i0. A subseqent investigation
of the books Of the office showed that the
examining auditor had made an error,
and that the proper amount of the short
age was about Sl,700 Reports of the
shortage were current before Holt left this
city. but his denials We're so vigorous that
scarcely any one believed the story until
the draft from the department at Wash
ington was received. Little surprise was
expressed then, as Holt was a natural
spendthrift, and was one of the fastest
men in the city. 1t is said that the short
age, or most of it. occurred after Holt
was notified that his successor had been
appointed.

A CUT ON DIVIDENDS.

Two Per Cent. Taken on on Two Rail-
roads for the Income Tax.
New York. Jan. 1.-The dividends on the
stock of the Rensselaer, and Saratoga and
the Albany and Susquehanna railroads
are paid to-day less per cent. deducted
for the income tax. These dividends are
guaranteed by the Delaware and Hudson
railroad. which has an agreement
that the dividends shall be paid less
taxes.
All the banks paying dividends to-day
did not deduct the income tax. The banks
generally will await the effort to test the
constitutionality of the law before decid-
ing what action shall be taken on divi-
bends. Henry W. Cannon, president of
the Chase National Bank. which paid 5
per cent. semi-annual dividend to-day
said that the dividends of his bank are
made payable free of all federal, state or
local taxes, and that the income tax will
be charged TO the expense account. He
stated that the income tax bears rather
heavily upon the banks. as they now pay
larger taxes, proportionately, than other
corporations and individuals.
