The Count Interrie,red.

CHEYENNE, WYo., Jan. 16-Count de
Toulouse Loutrec passed through here, en-
route to ST. Louis, at 2:30 O'Clock this
morning. He was accompanied by B. NJ.
Aldrich of st. Louis, from whom the Count
expects to secure large amount of capital
for investment in his Siberian railway
enterprise.
When asked if he had ever been i'm
prisoned in Siberia the Count laughed
heartily and said his experience in Siberia
had been more pleasant than that of a
prisoner. He had been there, he ad-
mitted, for several months last year, but ii
was on business and ne was in no sense a
prisoner and never had been.
Mr.. Aldrich expressed the opinion that
the Count was all right. He had examined
his papers and was satisfied he is Just
what he has represented himself to be and
that he is worth 200 900 rubles and has an
income of 5000 rubles year.
This evening Mr.. Aldrich received tele-
gram from San Francisco friend, whose
name he declined to give, advising aim
not to close any contract with the Count,
as 1t was reported he was fraud. "Oi
course, said Aldrich, 81 will investigate
these charges, but at the present time
am inclined to believe them false"
assure the people of San Francisco"
said the Count, that l never was pris-
oner in Siberia or any other place; that !
went to Siberia on business and expect to
go there again"

tain Lees Says the Count Is the
Famous Swindler.

The man who is either Count de Toulouse
Loutrec or Nicholas de Savin, the prince
of swindlers, erstwhile pretender to the
throne of Bulgaria, and Siberian convict,
is whirling toward st. Louis on a Central
Pacific train.
He left expectant people here and others
in Seattle. and one man came all the way
from the big Missouri city to take hand
in the Counts railroad contract schemes.
He thought they were good, as did the
capitalists at Seattle who proposed to go
into his syndicate.
The attorney here who was called in
when the Counts contracts were trans
lated from the Russian language also has
confidence in him. He says the alleged
Count didn't want any money; that all be
wanted was one-ffth of the interest in his
grading contracts, which he proposed to
turn over to others, and $500 a month
salary.
The attorney is A. Ruef. He says he

swindler had had his own suspicious
aroused by q Russian officer, who had
identified the Count on the way down from
Seattle. "This officer" said Captain Lees.
went to my informant and stated that
Savin-plain Sayin, remember-had got to
America, and that he thought the man was
swindling here. He had not lost any of
his winning address from his exile in
Siberia; but it was not likely that he
would do that, for he is man OF education
and was at one time an officer in the Rus
sian army"
Captain Lees had been shadowing the
Count for some days previous to that
gentleman's departure for st. Louis. 1t is
his belief that the plausible stranger will
never come back again. He knows better
than to return to San Francisco" said the
detective.
B. A. Aldrich OF st. Louis, who came
here and conferred with the alleged Count
on his railroad schemes, and finally took
him to st. Louis, paying the Counts cx-
penses, did SO ct the instigation of his
employers, the Kilbourne and Jacobs
Manufacturing Company OF Columbus,
Ohio. They are said to be the largest
manufacturers of railroad contract supplies
IN the country. A dispatch about the
Counts schemes wired to an Eastern news
paper is said to have been the cause of the
hurry to deal with the Count. The inside
OF his different projects was then not

STOCKTON'S S BOOKMAK ERS
They Have Left Town and Their
Departure Is Not
Mourned.
The Sports Would Not Accept the
Dispatches Unless Duly
Authenticated.

STOCKTON, CAL, Jan. 15-The book
makers have left town and the cause seems
to have been their inability to get reports
from San Francisco and the refusal of their
patrons to accept any returns as authentic
unless they came over one of the regular
telegraph lines.
The charge has openly been made in
one CT the papers that some of the late re-
ports never came over the lines and that
the instrument in the room made mean
ingless clicks. Before leaving Corbett' $
manager said that he might return if he
could make arrangements to post the New
Orleans races.
This is hardly probable. however, as the
Council is preparing an ordinance which
will nave prohibitive tax on the bookmak-
ing business in this city. Among other
charges against the room is that they have
been using grapevine" report since the
wires were taken out at the track at San
Francisco.

Il hope it may be so managed that he
may be made a member of that committee.
II am willing to lay the facts be efore any
man whom this meeting may name, but
that is not the way of Congregationalists
The standing committee of five or more
members elected by the congregation must
investigate the matter. The pastor has the
right to vote with them and to veto their
decision, but shall forego my right to vote
and my right to veto any vote and shall
allow the standing committee to elect any
chairman they choose"
In conclusion DR.. Brown called particu-
lar attention to erroneous impression that
had gone abroad regarding his study. He
added that his study was at his home,
while his office was in the church. Apro-
pos OF this explanation curious story was
told after the yer-meeting by lady
who had occasion not long ago to call on
the doctor at his office. She found a
placard on the door reading:
"Dr. Brown is not in his study"
Nevertheless she knocked and DR.. Brown
promptly responded In person. OF course
what the placard told was strictly true.
DR.. Brown, according to the explanation
made in the prayer meeting last night, was
not at that particular time in his study,
whatever may have been the purpose of
the guileless placard.

DEPoSIToRs CAUSE ITS FALL.
Withdra,cais Precipitate the Failure of a
MinnedpOLis Bank.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Jan. 15-As
soon as business hours had opened in
banking circles this morning the an
nouncement was made that the CITY Bank
on the corner of Third street and Henne-
pin avenue had closed its doors. Among
bankers and those in a position to know
there was general credence given TO the
statement from the City Bank officials that
the bank stood good for every cent of its
deposits, and that it had been forced to
suspend its business by the withdrawal of
heavy deposits and inability to collect its
notes.
Bank Examiner Kenyon was in Mime
apolis Monday and at that time examined
the condition of the bank. He then ad-
vised the officers not to suspend as the
bank was perfectly solvent, according to
his statement, even if less than IS per cent
were collected on the paper it holds. How
ever, the withdrawal of deposits, which
has been going on for the last few days,
left the bank powerless, and this morning
it found itself forced to discontinue opera
tions. It is now in the hands of Mr. Ken
yon and his assistants, and an examina-
ton is being made.
T. ]. Buxton is president of the City
Bank; A. II. Linton, vice-president, and

was organized in October, 1872.

vestigation of the charges made against
him by Mrs. Mary Abbott Davidson and
Mrs. NJ. A. Stockton.
He announced that he had asked the
Bay Association on Monday to appoint
the committee which is to investigate the
charges against him, and then requested
that the standing committee of the First
Congregational Church, which is COM
posed of the eight deacons Of the church
and five members of the congregation, act

committee.
DR.. Brown evidently came to the PRAYER
meeting surcharged with anything but a
kindly feeling for the press and its repre-
sentatives, and before the evening was
over he took occasion to exhaust his some
what copious fountain of resentment.
None Of the morning newspapers were
sighted. Each came in for special atten-
ton. During the meeting the doctor
espled representative of one of the papers
conversing in subdued tones with a neigh
Dor. The doctor quickly saw his oppor-
tunlty. He stopped short in his exposi-
ton of the Bible text and addressed curt
reprimand to the Objectionable newspaper
man. Later he had the pleasure of placing
another newspaper representative-and a
lady at that-in q most embarrassing posi-
ton by asking her with evident malice
aforethought to lead in prayer. Then he
called into question the accuracy OF
another reporter.
When the evenings services were
hnIshed he alleged that he had been
continuously incorrectly reported by all
the newspapers of the City, though in the
next breath he admitted that he did not
read them all. He then said:
shall ask, and do now ask, that the
standing committee of the church meet in
my ofhce-not my study-in the room
above.
1t is to the honor of this church that
not one word has been said by single
member that the pastor of it should be
asked to explain any of the charges made
against him. Neither has any such de-
mand been made by any officer of the
church, nor has any demand come to me

lowed by a gendarme, bearing naked
sword.
"As the trial proceeded De Savin took
an active part in it. HIS questions which
he asked witnesses and his replies were the
wonder of everybody. He. was sarcastic,
humorous and thoroughly brilliant
throughout. Lawyers like n man who is
bright, no matter whether they are against
him or not, and De Savin showed himself
a prodigy. His case was the talk of all
Russia. The papers devoted a great deal
of space to it, and in the clubs everybody
was discussing it.
"De Savin should have been an actor. If
he had gone on the stage In six months he
would be the equal of any man in the
world. If he had gone into politics he
would have been eminent, for he has
brains equal to those of any Senator"
The alleged Count registered at the
Palace Hotel on Decem Der 80 as "De Savin,
Count de Toulouse Loutrec, entrepeneur
de chemin de fer, the latter words mean
ing promoter of railroads.
"There is no possibility of doubt" said
Mr.. Grunwaldt, that this is the confidence
man De Savin. His own registration
shows 1t. The reason he did not call at
the Russian consulate was evidently be-
cause he thought his history would be
called up. Then the Consul-General could
to him.
''As to these so-called contracts, which
to the uninitiated would appear all right
what do they amount to? Nothing at all.
l know Galetski, the contractor alluded to,
very well, and his contract is all right, but
Galetsk1 Is not just the kind of a man
would put the mos. confidence in. You
understand? He is not oyerscrupulous.
"He had former contract on the road
and made some 10000 rubles, and then
went back and spent the most of it in wild
living. Now he has another contract, and
it is understood he is about out of money.
Galetskl is the kind of a man who, if any
man, no matter if he was an ex-convict,
came to him and said he could raise some
money on an enterprise in which he might
become interested, would say all right.
GO ahead and get It, All he would want
would be the money. If Durrant, up there
in prison, or some such man, should go to
him in this way, Galetski would tell him
to go ahead.
81 have an idea Galetski must be the
backer of De Savin. De Savn has doubt
less explained his belief that he could get
money in America, and Galetski, delighted
with the project, is not improbably aiding
him.
But how did De savin get out of
Siberia? That's what mystifies me and it
| IS good thing to ask. He could not get
away without passports unless he escaped,
and according to former regulations he
would not be allowed to go even if his
term OF Imprisonment had expired.
'As to the alleged estate in Tomsk,
which is supposed to net revenue of
$4,000 year, | cannot see how on earth he
could make such an amount if he had the
hall OF Siberia. The estate may be ex-
