From the y. Y. World of April s.
The police of this city and Wash

! for Edwin p. Carpenter. who, it is al
legged, has swindled piano manufactur-

sands of dollars.
The Grand Jury indicted Carpenter
yesterday for grand larceny on the com
plant of Peter d. Strauch of No. 20
Tenth avenue.
MIR. Strauch says that Carpenter al
legged that he represented certain bust
ness men in the south who were will
ing to invest in good paying piano in :
terests in the north. Carpenter said
he was stopping at the Hotel Norman.
die. Carpenter got Mr.. Strauch to
cash "a note for 800, made by f. II.
Allison " Co., who Carpenter said were
railroad contractors with an Office in
| Wall street. This note was afterward
found to be bogus, there being no such
firm as f. Fl. Allison & Co.
Frank Moss, counsel for Strauch,
said last night that Carpenter had
swinded many firms.
1t has been the hottest week in

Granulated sugar has taken sud
den rise in price and is now selling at
s.. Co a hundred pounds. y few days
ago sugar could be bought for S5.31.
A year ago it was bringing but 81. 30.
The jump is attributed to the war in
Cuba, where so many cane fields have
been burned and grinding stopped by
the rebels. This is the chief cause,
doubtless, but at the same time the
sugar trust is taking advantage of its
protection to put on some of it. I
There was another wreck on the
Narrow Gauge Wednesday afternoon,
Just above Townshend. As the mixed
train from the north was coming
down the rails spread because of the
rotten ties, truck turned half way
round and for quite distance gath |
cred and piled ties up to height of |
several feet One lumber ear was laid |
over fiat and two more thrown off the
irons. The passengers were tumbled |
round rather promiscuously and one. a
drummer from White River Juntion. |
got his hand slightly hurt 1t was ! |
O'Clock the next morning before the |
train reached here.
Rev. Justin ID. Fulton of Somer
vile, Mass. gave lecture in the |
Grange hall Wednesday evening on the !
subject, Rome in America. The /
lecture which was under \. p. a. /
auspices, was of the hackneyed sort !
DIR. Fulton has been firing off ever
since he resigned the ministry.to enter
his crusade against the Jesuits. He
is evidently sincere man. and one of
force and skill as speak
er. but so warped and distorted men
tally on tins one subject, as TO fire off
a most remarkable string of absurdi-
ties as solemn proved truth he
was introduced by Rev. Mr. Baker,
the Advent pastor, for whom he
latter called for cheers as the one min
lister in town who had the courage
to be present. \ few samples of his
only need be given. He
accused Cleveland of being wholly I'M
Ter Jesuit control. He said in the In
terror Department and one bureau cs-
necially. nuns were not only allowed to
20 through the buildings soliciting
but if the employees re,
used the next month they were turned
,tf. He said the Pope was at the
bottom of Cleveland's Venezuelan mes
sage. He said Gen Sherman refused
he Republican nomination for the
presidency in "a because, his wife
being Catholic, he couldn't free
himself from Jesuit influences. Then
,fter his refusal the Jesuits all turned
n for Blaine. leading ones interviewed
lin TO see if he would let his daughter
marry Col. Coppinger and set up an
altar in his house, and it was because
# this and of his cringing to Catho
les after the Rum, Romanism and
Rebellion episode that the anti Cath
lie sentiment turned against him and
lected Cleveland. Then the postoffice
department. under Cleveland's first and
ecord administration had its patron
ge handled by the Vicar General of
cardinal Gibbons. He charged the
Iesuits with the assassination of Lin
DIN and said it was a proved fact. y
md so on. II is strange indeed that
mems minds should get into such a
tate as to want to be fed with this
ort of stuff And stranger still that
blowers of Him who spake only in
and charity and goodwill
hould think to serve Him by at
empting to breed such misconception
nd i'll will because of mere difference
f opinion. His audience numbered
rom 100 to 40. and some of the audi
ors seemed to swallow every word he
aid. not only the truth he told of the
igotries and wrongs that have been
one in the name of Religion-and not
" any means confined to any one
such preposterous yarns
s the above.
Use less soap-better for clothes.
