TELEGRAM FROM SCHWANR.
1t Simply Says What Do the People
Of Richmond Think Of Ne"

schwsne Reported to Have Passed
Counterfeit Dollar.

No indication has as yet been received
from Anthony Schwane. the saJoon-
keeper OF Fourth and Broad streets. who
lett this city In a rather vnceremonious
manner on last Sunday. as 70 whether
he ever expects 10 return. The numerous
business men in this city. who hold his
unpaid bills. feel rather uneasy and fear
that he will never liquidate them. While
his whereabouts are unknown to tko
largo majority OF citizens. there Is cer-
tainly one party in Richmond who Is
well informed as to Schwanes move
ments. but for reasons best known to
himself. he prefers TO observe silence In
that respect.
When Schwane took charge OF the res
taurant OF Saenger Halle. he appealed
10 Mr.. A. Won n Rosenegk for assis-
tance. That gentleman very kindly went
on his bond, paid for his license and
furnished him about $500 worth OF beer.
When the mysterious fire broke out. Mr..
Won Rosenogk made an attempt 10 Sc
cure the payment OF the money advanced
by him. and he asked Schwane to give
him an order on the Insurance company
III tho dHloullt uue MIN.
GOT HIS MONEY.
Schwane pretended 20 be unable TO do
so without Mrs. Schwsne's consent. The
next time Mr.. Won Rosenegk called he
found husband and wife together. and
renewed his request but was coolly told
that they could not agree 10 IL. He then
attached the insurance money for the
amount due him, and was Joined In the
court proceedings by Mr.. Frank Miller,
the wholesale wine dealer, whom Schwane
owed about so. and the firm of Herman
Schmidt. 10 which he was indebted for
similar amount. Mr.. Won Roesregk Sc
secured the amount OF his claim. but the
other two were persuaded by Schwane's
glib talk to accept his notes and to
continue to let him have goods. but for
cash only. The note given 10 Mr.. Miller
became due yesterday. and the other will
be due to-day, but both are. OF course,
worthless.
