NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-The Herald says
this morning:
The beginning of the end of the swirld-
ling syndicate supposed to have been
headed by William E. Valentine, now
under arrest in Brooklyn, has come.
Five. arrests have been made, the pris-
oners, except one, being prominent bust
ness men. More arrests will follow soon.
Among them is man in a western state
who is settling his affairs preparatory
to going to Europe. His property is
worth $l,0000O0. The names of those now
under arrest are as follows:
r. e. Mclaughlin,
Daisy Hampton,
John E. Hoffmire,
John d. Hoffmire,
Edward Records.
Daisy Hampton, 10 years old, and
Charles Waldring aged % years. were
arrested in Hoboken late last night after
having been crught in a swindling opera
ton involving SWU. Waldring was iden-
tined as r. E. Mclaughlin, who is wanted
in New York in connection with previous
swindles and who has been recognized
as one of Valentines former friends.
The most important find, however, was
the charter issued by the state of West
Virginia to the Standard Case and Iron
company and the United States Trust
and Title Guarantee company, which
Valentine used to procure commercial
ldlHSS- OOIIe anu LULU
were signed J. H. Baker & Co., while
others bore the name of Mclaughlin.
John d. Hofmire is the son of John E.,
and the two formed the firm of John E.
Hoffmira & Son, which failed last July.
it being stated that they had been
swindled by note brokers. 1t now turns
out however, that they are accused Of
being in league with members of the
robbing syndicate.
Edward Records was arrested some
days ago at the request of Boston police
charged with obtaining by lase pretenses
bonds valued at $33 1873.
1t is now charged that he was the
agent of the syndicate to rob in Boston
in 1895. Letters and kilograms have been
found which show that he was well ac-
quainted with the fraudulent notes that
were discounted by the Phoenix Contract
company, the firm name under which
business.

before the election it was conceded by
every one that we had won. But we
counted without our hosts. The liquor
associations of the state massed their
to the movement. They fought us
tooth and nail. and at the polls the
amendment was lost by some 10000
votes. The liquor men did it. The new

success. The question will also be

Confederate Spears.

federate Government to Salisbury, n. c.,
for safekeeping during the war VIII some
one give a history OF them, what compa-
MES used them, or any information con-
nected with their make or use? J. t. IL
Our impression Is that spears were mado
20 arm some of the infantry before our
government could provide them with mus
kets. Some OF the John Brown raiders
were also armed with spears. Spears
were also used IN Richmond early during
the war by Provost Guards, whose duty it
was to arrest absentees from the camps
OF instruction, and other transgressors Of
the military law. but they fell into disuse
because Of the utter contempt with which
those who were armed with them were
treated by the transgressing soldiers.
