A SLICK SCHEME.
A Man Buys a Store but Finds tho Stock
.a Nothing but Sham. sH. -.r


SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 22.-WIth the
arrest OF Mrs. Martha Everett, alias
Catching, for having obtained money
by false pretenses. a novelty in the way
of confidence games was brought TO
light yesterday. : A few days ago, John
Daily saw an advertisement In n local
paper to the effect that half interest
in q .delIcatassen store on Fourth street
was for sale. Being deslrous of en-
barking In business, DAILY went to look
at the place and found Mrs. Everett
surrounded with every evidence of a
prosperous little business. Along the
walls hung rows Of nice fat sausages
and hams and smoked fish, while the
shelves held dozens OF cans OF corned
beef. There were kegs OF ostcnslble
trlpe and pigs feet, dried beef, cheese
and tins of picked goods andN Mrs.
Everett showed him n large conslgn-
ment OF eggs in cases and barrels Of
butter.
Daily Immediately closed the deal and
soon afterwards took charge OF the
store, as his partner wanted to 20 to the
country for few days. The first
morning he opened up hc made dis
covery. He lifted the egg cases and
found that only the top layers bore
fruit.
The rest OF the pasteboard holes were
hollow mockeries. Sawdust took the
place OF flesh and bone. In the ham COW
ers and the rolls OF butter were empty
cans rolled In damp cheese cloth. The
four hundred bottles wrapped In pink
tissue paper and supposed to contain
wine, proved to be nothing but filtered
water.
But the crueleFt sham OF nll was the
sausages The sleek brown skins were
filled with wind and each one was bal
lnsted with u bullet to prevent the sau-
sage. from floating up against the cell
ing. like balloon. 1t was the same
way with everything else. The cans all
were empty and the picked tripe was q
delusIOn and snare, DAILY has retired
from business and will sell the counter
and shelves at n discount.

of 16 to l. In introducing General
Watts 10 the audience, Mr.. Ralphsny-
der forgot TO tell his auditors that he
was TO be the next governor Of West

General Watts made a lopg speech. It
was n fallacious speech from start 10

his side of the case, but contained
many mlsstatements OF facts and was
calculated TO deceive the ignorant.
At O'clock the Republicans of the
town sent out word that they were
going to meet to organize n club. At Z
O'Clock they met in the court house and
organized a, club OF seventy-five mem-
bcrs. with Senator William G.. Wor-
ley as president. The club arranged to
have weekly meetings and permanent
headquarters. The meeting was ad-
dressed by Senator Worley and Mr..
Leftrldge. OF New Jersey. There, was
moro enthusiasm manifested In the or
Sanizatlon of this club and there was
more cheering than there was in the
aforesaid great rally OF the free silver
