A Tough Sheriff and Son.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, May lO.-The
grand jury, which has been inves-
tigating the management OF the
county jail under Sheriff McCarver,
has returned a report containing
some serious charges against that
officer. The jury has evidence that
prisoners have been brutally beat
en- by Jailer Bud McCarver, son Of
the sheriff, and one instance, that
OF a prisoner named Joe Evans, is
cited. He Is said to have been held
down by four Of McCarver's assist
ants, while the jailer beat him I'M
mercifully with rawhide. Evans
was then forced, half fainting, into
a dungeon, the floor OF which was
covered by bad smelling water,
where he was left several hours. The
negro TRUSTEES, the report says, are
allowed to carry the keys of the
female prisoners ward, which is
characterized as regular assigna-
ton house. This state Of affairs,
the report concludes, has been
made known to Sheriff McCarver,
but no steps to remedy it have been
taken by him.

Americans Scratch the Newmarket

NEWMARKET, April l0.-To the
surprise of sportsmen in general, it
was announced yesterday that M.
F. Dryers Harry Reed, and Rich
ard Croker's Stonenell had been
scratched for the jubilee stakes and
that Croker had also scratched all
his 2-year-olds, except MOntauk,
from all engagements. Harry Reed
had been clocked over the R0wley
mile course early in the day, and
had done well, which makes the
action of his owner all the more
puzzling to English sportsmen.
The Kempton park, great jubilee
stakes and handicap were 1900 SOW
ereigns and an additional subscrip.
ton OF 20 sovereigns for all starters
for 3-year-olds and upwards; dis

SYNDICATE PLAYING OUT.
The Bond Syndicate Pays Back 40

NEW YORK, May l0.-Messrs. J
P. Morgan & Co., and August Bel

cate that undertook to place the
last issue Of government bonds

sent notices to their associates that
they would return 40 per cent Of
the money contributed to financier
that issue. The gross purchase
price Of the per cents, issued last
February was in round figures $780,
100000, all Of which the syndicate
contracted with the government
to pay in gold. One-half OF the
amount was to be obtained by the
sale OF half OF the bonds abroad,
and the remainder by marketing
the bonds here. To insure the sue
cess OF this program, the two bank
ing houses mentioned and their as
sociates paid into the treasury at
once $32 100000 in gold. The bonds
were sold in due time and the
money received therefor from do.

ayers ever since. Under the syndi-
Gates contract, its managers were
entitled to use all this money until
next October, chiefly for the pur-
pose OF controlling the market for
sterling exchange. That market
has now receded owing to heavy
sales Of bills against securities sold
abroad to a point that maxi s it
unnecessary for the syndicate to
retain all the capital contributed
for its operations. 1t is under
stood that payments will be made
in check, although members OF the
syndicate furnished gold when
they became parties to the govern

DEFAULTINa INSURANCE cos.
Bogus Claims for Accident Pay
ments Unearthed- Big BusI-
ness Done,

PHILADELPHIA, May 10.-A gi-
gantic scheme for the wholesale de-
frauding Of accident insurance COM
panies by means OF bogus claims
has been unearthed by agents in
this city and Pittsburg. Nearly
every accident insurance company
in the United States is involved
and the amount secured, while it
cannot yet be def nitely fixed, will
run into many thousands, besides
which policies representing thous-
ands more have been cancelled. D..
Soupcotf, in Pittsburg, it is said,
confessed that his claims were
fraudulent and implicated two
physicians and four other persons
in this city. 1t is charged that the
ng.leaders here are Louis X.
Glassman, 729 South Fourth street,
Alexander ledger, Samuel Loder
and DR.. Abraham Hahn, all of 96l
South Fifth street. The method
OF the operators was to obtain q
quarterly policy. In due time an
accident of some character would
be reported in the newspapers, and
a week or two later, the men would
make claim that one or more had
been badly injured in it.
"Synovotus" an affection of the
joints produced by falls or sprains,
seems to have been the favorite
complaint.
All the accident insurance COM
panies of the country have been
notified and a number of arrests
are expected in a day or two.

Owners and Jockeys Ruled Off.

New YORK, May 10.-After hear
ing all the testimony in connection
with the Summertime race at st.
Asaph on May 3, the stewards Of
the Jockey club at their meeting
last night, ruled off from all par
ticipation, Owner S. w. Street, Of
Saratoga, Jockey Macy, Of New
York race course, and a man OF
considerable prominencei in his own
town. The FLY Summertime
opened favorite for the dash for 2
year-olds at half a mile on May 3
at st. Asaph, but the more money
the public wagered on her the
larger her price became in the
books controlled by j. NJ. Hill, who
acted as Streets representative. In
the minds of the hOrsemen at Sara
toga there was a disposition to
shield j. NJ. Hill for few days,
but at a meeting on Wednesday
last Macy told the particulars Of
the race and Hill was implicated.
Macy said that Street had prom
ised him 800 for each horse he
pulled for him, and the executive
committee Of the Virginia Jockey
club ruled Street and Macy off.
Nothing, however, was said con-
corning Hill, and the Jockey club,
after making inquiries, summoned
all of the parties implicated to ap-
pear before them. Street protested
his innocence to the last.

a large number of residents of East
port are highly indignant at the actions
of the keeper Of Back Greek bridge, who
locked the gate of the bridge on the Bay
Ridge side and went away and left it
thus. at three o'clock in the afternoon,
the evening prior to Christmas. 1T ap-
pears a number of the residents Of East
port had gone in the direction of Bay
Ridge TO get Christmas trees and ever
greens. with which to decorate their
homes. On returning they found the
cate of the bridge locked, and in order
to get home, had to wade in the water
waist deep, climb up on the bridge and
thus accomplish the end of the journey.
Back Creek bridge cost the county 81, 100,
and recently $500 for repairs. A keeper
was appointed about three weeks ago at
a salary of fifteen dollars per MONTH
Many Of the residents and taxpayers OF
this section consider this a useless ex-
penditure as the draw OF the bridge Is
seldom opened, except to let few oys-
ter batteaux in and out, which can readily
remove their masts. A vessel OF any
size seldom passes through this bridge,
and to employ a keeper at $50 per year
for the accommodation of two or three
farmers Of the neighborhood, makes 1T
an expensive luxury.
