A TOUGH TRIO TRAPPED.
A Clever Capture of Green Goods Men
by Postoffice Inspector.

Chicago, March 6.-Postoffice Inspector
Stuart today made an important capture
of green goods swindlers. The sharpers
had in their possession, besides their boz
gus bills, $4,000 in good money. Three
men were arrested. Their satchel, con-
tanning $4,000 in good money, was also
captured.
The prisoners are Charles Herd, alias
Vogle, ST.; Il. Gray, alias VOgle, Jr., and
Frank Smythe.
The capture was the result of a clever
ly laid plot. For two months past the
mails in this section of the country have
been flooded with green goods circu-
lars. Last week deputy marshals were
sent to Arkansas. where they placed
themselves in communication with the
operators. An appointment was made
for Chicago, and two deputies, disguised
as countrymen, came to Chicago. The
capture followed. The deputies regis
tered at the Atlantic hotel. Here they
were met by Herd, who was informed
that the Arkansas visitors wanted the
State rights for the dissemination Of the
goods. An agreement was finally
reached and as a result meeting was
held today at the Hotel Delaware on Cot
tage Grove avenue, near Sixty-third
street. While the men were haggling
over terms, signal was given and the
doors were b.-st in. An exciting strug-
gle ensued, during which reyolvers were
pulled, but the men were finally over
powered.

WAR ON STOCK THIEVES.
Vigorous Measures Being Taken in West
Texas by the Officers.

Spofford, Tex, March 6.-(Special.)-
D. w. Gourley, Sheriff of Brewster coun-
ty, and a deputy, T. NJ. Gourley, passed
through here this afternoon in charge of
three prisoners, en- route for Eagle Pass.
One is said to be the notorious jeff Har-
din, brother OF John Wesley Hardin, I'M
der indictment for attempting to bride
the principal witness in the now noted
cattle theft cases sent by change Of venue
from Brewster to Maverick county for
trial In Offering to turn States evil
dence he stated in the presence OF the
sheriff that the original purpose was to
murder the States principal witness,
but this was foiled by the alertness OF the
officers and the suspicion of foul play by
the witness himself.
The grand jury of Brewster county un-
earthed a chain of stock thieves extend
ing from Mexico through Foley, Buchel
and Brewster counties, in the big bend
of the Rio Grande, and on through Pecos
and Reeves counties up into New Mex
leo. One stockman alone, Mr.. Puring-
ton of Pecos county, has lost over 25O
head of cattle since last August. Over
30 indictments were returned by the last
grand jury of Brewster county and neigh
boring counties are also taking vigorous
measures against stock stealing.

NEGRO SHOT DEAD.

Paris, Tex, March ESPECIAL )-This
morning just before daylight Joe Ever
idge, who lives about nine miles east oil
Grant, |. r., discovered his barn on fire,
which, by prompt work, was, extin-
guished. Everidge, his son and brother-
in-law. took the trail of the incendiary
and followed it across field of plowed
ground and came upon a negro named
Charlie Sims, whom they commanded
to hold up his hands. Instead of doing
so he reached for his gun, when Ever,
idge shot him dead. The negro and
Everidge had had a difficulty before and
it is thought that the negro fired the barn
through motive. AS the negro. was
citizen of the Choctaw. nation the court
here has no jurisdiction. Others are
thought to be implicated in the attempt
to burn Everidge's barn and deputy
United States marshal went up there to
arrest them.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.

The house today wrangled for four
hours over the salaries of United States
marshals and other features of the amend
ment to the executive appropriation bill
to abolish the fee system in the cases of
United States attorneys and marshals.
Interest in that debate was completely
overshadowed by sensational attack
made upon President Cleveland by Mr..
Hartman RepD of Montana, who felt
himself personally aggrieyed by Mr..
Cleveland's utterances at the Presby-
terrain home mission meeting in New York
on Tuesday, and who seized the oDpor-
tunity allowed by the latitude of debate
on appropriation bills to repel the idea
that the Western States were the homes
of evil influences.
Mr.. Hartman sent to the clerks desk
and had read the following extracts from
Mr.. Cleveland's address:
''The liberation of evils and Indifference
TO Christianzing and eevating agencies
in the new States of the West. which, if
unchecked. develops into badly regulated
municipalities and unsafe territories and
undesirable States.'
Whatever may be my individual opinion
of the president, said Mr.. Hartman, mat
tiers not. For the high Office of the presi-
dent have a supreme regard The legiti-
mate functions of that office are limited
to those enumerated in our constitution.
Under the constitution and laws, l deny

EXECUTION WILL BE PUBLIC.

Taylor, Tex, March 5.-(Special.)-
Sheriff Purl of Georgetown was in Taylor
yesterday and stated to Statesman re-
porter that the execution of Matt Mootry
and Albert Rolley (colored) at George
town on March 20, for the murder of An
drew Prickrel (of which trial and convic-
ton the readers of The Statesman are
familiar) would of necessity be public
execution; that the construction of the
Williamson county Jail would not permit
of the execution within the walls of the
building, the ceilings being too low for a
sufficient drop or fall of the bodies, and
that he was averse to performing the
task in the Jail yard within the sight and
hearing of his family, with the conse-
quent excitement and demonstrations
which of necessity would prove incidental
thereto, and for the reasons and with all
due regard for the signers of the petition
asking him to make the execution pri-
vate one, the gallows will be erected on
the outskirts of the city, at a point on or
near the banks of the San Gabriel river,
and that no efforts would be made to sup
press the attendance of anyone who might
wish TO attend the execution.

NOT CONFIRMED.

Washington, March 4.-The state de-
partment has not been informed of
wholesale designations from the United
States consular service of persons of
Spanish birth, as reported by cable from
Madrid. In Spain and the Spanish
colonial possessions there are just 30
persons appointed to the United States
consular service from Spain, most of
these being of Spanish birth. Generally
they hold offices of minor Importance,
such as vice consuls and consular agents
and the compensation of these officials,
made up solely of fees, is so small that it
fails to attract suitable persons of Ameri-
can nativity or citizenship.

of the seals if properly enforced.
In this position he will be antagonized
by all the other members of the commit

there will be no seals left in the course
of very few years unless an agreement
can be reached for suspension of the
seal slaughter for the present, and the
careful regulation in the future.
