Col. w. A. II. SiIloWaye.

Ordinarily sense of pride would lead
us to say word for an old employe, but
in the case of Col. w. A. II. Sillowaye we
make no plea. We prefer that Judgment
be entered against him by default. We
are afraid that the Phoenix of last week
stated his case pretty accurately. 1t said
Col. w. A. II. Sillowaye has been heard
from again. This time he is at West
Farms, N. Y, and figures in connection
with letter alleged to have been written
in 1890 by Maj. Mckinley to Gen. Welles,
in which Mckinley is opposed to granting
pensions to brave veterans of the Civil war
The letter is declared to be forgery by
all who are acquainted with the presiden.
tial candidate against whom it is launched
Col. Sillowaye is the old fraud who was
railroaded out Of Massachusetts nearly two
years ago. He had worked Grand Army
men in New England to the extent of hun.
dreds of thousands of dollars by telling 8
story of destitution, back of which was

at Oxford, a term Of service on McClellan's
staff, and grand exploit on the Potomac

terry. A few years ago Sillowaye worked
as compositor in the Bellows Falls Times
office and he showed himself a man of very
ordinary education. When his story was
exposed at Boston, it was shown that his
war record was fabrication. After he
was sent away from Boston he created a
sensation in New York as man with a
mania for writing letters threatening sui
eide, the object being to secure assistance
from sympathetic dupes. In these letters
the old war stories were repeated and when
Sillowaye was interviewed he gave still
further romantic touches by telling how
years ago he worked at the case with Rob
ert Bonner, had been an actor in the How
ard Atheneum in Boston in 1852 with the
elder Davenport and Forest, and had
worked in the United States secret service.
Since the Mckinley forgery came to light
Robert 7. Lincoln has been interviewed in
regard to Sillowaye's stories. He reviews
them at length, showing that they are alb
solutely false.

Freight Wreck at CIRCUITS.

Passenger traffic was delayed over the
B. and M. for nearly two hours Monday
afternoon by a freight wreck at Grouts sta
ton. The wreck occurred shortly before
noon. No. "a down freight was standing
on the track near the station and the engine
a short distance ahead doing some switch
ing, when No. rs rounded the curve at full
speed. The fireman and engineer jumped
and the engine crashed into the caboose
derailing eight empty coal cars, five Of
them being badly smashed. One of these
cars was thrown into the air and landed OF
the roof of the small car house, badly
demolishing it. The engine was not badly
injured. No one was hurt and wreckine

Sermon by Presiding Elder Beeman.

Quarterly meeting services were held ii
the Methodist church Sunday conducted
by Presiding Elder Beeman. The eide,
preached an admirable sermon from the text
I" For what is a man profted if he shall
gain the whole world and lose his own
soul? Some of his thoughts were:
"The soul and not the body is man.
Character is what we are; reputation
what people think we are.
Character is resultant; our charac-
ter to-day is the resultant sum total of all
our previous life.
character tends to permanency; we
are building for eternity.
There are but two great types Of char
acter in the universe of God, Jesus Christ
and the arch fend. All character is a
modification of these two types.
Character becomes fixed early in life.
A man 25 years of age and not a Christian
ought to be alarmed.
Character merges into destiny
For the man who is impure, who loves
sin, heaven would be the hottest kind Of
hell

tomorrow"

Commenting on this statement the Re.
former Of last week said:
But the most serious thing is the fictitious
names in mortgages, some of them in dis
guised handwriting, got up witnessed anG
acknowledged before notary in Kelley's
office. The scheme developed according
to MIR. kelley's statement, from the system
OF taking property by deed or foreclosure
on which loans had been made and default
of payment occurred, and then deciding i
to some clerk in the office, on whose note
and mortgage money was again borrowed
He says the names of his clerks got to ap
pearing too often in the papers and ther
lone of the clerks suggested the use O
| fictitious names or the introduction of straw
men for what was really Kelley borrowing
This method when once adopted, seems t
have been extensively pursued. s.Joh1
Hausler," and an. G. Culvey" were two
of the fictitious names but there are sew
| eral others.
Really it is this system of fictitious and
cover-up operations that is responsible fol
the ruin of the Kelleys. Three years age
they were worth 100000 undoubtedly
which has been swept away with a vast sun
besides, by this advancing interest, taking
property on their own hands and the ruin
Gus depreciations that have followed. L
the Kelleys, who had guaranteed nothing
had Just set back, told clients that in the
hard times they must wait for interest until
it was paid by the debtors, they might have
been wealthy now. But if they had done
that, there would have been investigation
and uncovering of this fictitious business
which had begun several years before. Sc
| they were in a measure forced to go on
though of course their business pride wa:
an element in it-pouring in money to hold
the thing up, hoping for the return of bet
ter times to extricate themselves, until then
own resources and all they could get in any
way had gone into the vortex.
