ROBBED BY c. VI. CHARNLEY.
Coates, at Terre Haute, Among the
Losers by the EmbeZzIement of
$4,000 of the Aid Fund.

CHICAGO, Sept. 4.-Charles NJ Charnley,
who is alleged to have embezzled at least
$4,000 from the treasury of the Presby-
terrain board for aid of colleges, is still at
large, but although the officials of the
American Security Company will not admit
the fact, they do not deny that he is away
where they can find him at any time they
want him. Rumors are freely circulated
to the effect that Charnley is being shad-
owed by the companys detectives awaiting
the possibility of a settlement of the
amount of the alleged defalcation 1t is
said that an understanding has been eff
fected between Charnleys friends and the
surety company, but the present indica-
lions are that there is little hope of Charm
ley being able to make things all right.
Daniel T. Hunt manager of the American
Security Company, admits that Charnley
was short probably $50,00O and that the
company was on his bonds to the extent
of $4,000. He could not be induced to say
what action the company would take in
the matter.
Presbyterian colleges and academies are
partly dependent upon the board for aid.
Fear is expressed that some Of them will
be seriously embarrassed. Following are

agent of the First National Bank, and held
other responsible positions.

PENDLETON. Ind, Sept. 4.-The prompt
action of Marshal Cook and Deputy Prose-
cutor Goodrich in getting Farmer William
Jones out of Jail and putting him in Sc
cret place was probably all that prevented
a lynching here tonight. A crowd of in

from Alexandria looking for work and was

night Farmer Jones got in the crowd and
a fight followed, no one seems to know
how The farmer was crazed with liquor

was mashed and he was supposed to be
dead. The crowd took after the farmer,
who was captured and lodged in Jail. DR..

HIGH ROLLER" IN JAIL
ARREST OF WILLIAM BOTTO FOR
UTTERING A WORTHLESS CHECK.
Louisville Youth who Created a SEN
satiOn by Marrying the Widow of
the Late Captain Irwin.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-Wiliam Botto. of
Louisville. KY, was arrested to-day
charged with issuing a worthless check for
$35 on the Louisville Trust Company and
passing it on Frank c. Benjamin, of Phila-
delphia- Botto was held to await requisi-
ton from Philadelphia The police say this
bad check is one of a series passed by Bot
to in neighboring cities. Lately Botto has
been lavishing money on a young woman
who takes a conspicuous part in musical
burlesque at Broadway theater.
Botto acquired notoriety by marrying the
wealthy widow of Capt. William Irwin, of
Louisville During his lifetime Captain
Irwin was president of the Louisville and
Indiana Ferry Company and was also prom
inent in many other corporations. He was
an accredited millionaire, and on his death
his widow and twenty-one-year- son
Gay came into possession of the vast
estate. Gay Irwin was a sporting man and
kept a string of racing horses. Young
Irwin and VIM. Rotto became acquainted
and, having tastes in common, soon became
fast friends. Botto is the son of Louis
vile merchant and was a prominent figure
in Louisville society. Early last spring r.
win and Botto purchased a new string of
running horses and entered them at the
New Orleans meeting. Mrs. Irwin accom-
panied her son to the races and there be-
came acquainted with Botto. The latter
placed bets on the races for the Twins with
so much success that they were invariably
winners Botto had been going a rapid pace
and his father cut off his allowance Botto
knew that the Twins were worth a good
deal of money and he ingratiated himself
in the good graces OF the widow. Gay Ir-
win died and Botto consoed the widow ana
was accepted. year previous to this he
had secretly married a pretty girl at Gin
cinnati. He told the widow that this mar
riage was only joke and for a monetary
consideration, it was said in Louisville, he
managed to get the girl to consent to a
divorce.
Early in July Botto, then twenty years
old. was married to Mrs. Irwin, who was
fifty-two years old. Louisville was shocked
at the disparity in the ages of the pair.
Mrs. Botto sent her husband on a honey
moon trip by himself. BottO came TO this
His wife allowed him $1,000, then $1,000 and
subsequently 81 600, making 5000 in all. He
got rid of the first $4,000 in two weeks.
When this was exhausted he wrote for
more. With the last $1,000 came the i'm
perative command to start for home Bot
to. it is said, spent the last $1,000 on the
actress 1t is supposed that when Botto
got his remittances from his wife it was
by drawing on the Louisville Trust Com
pany, where the funds were deposited.
When all the allowance ran out Botto con-
tinued the making of checks and passing
them Unfortunately on people who were
impressed with his wealth when he did
have money. 1t is said that Bottos wife
arrived in the city yesterday and is visit
ing. friends She could not be found to-

as one of the best story tellers who ever
visited the hotel.
There is good reason to believe that ''HO-
bart ir.," does not like the company of the
young women as we'll as that of the men;
but he is too polite to show his real feel
ings by look or word. If his face isn't
tanned il isn't because he doesn't want it
to be. He envies the tan of the farmer
boys in the neighbOrhood He wants to be
known as a dashing all-round athlete-a
bicyclst, a tennis player and a camera
fiend
His tutor is a good enough fellow, he
says, but he doesn't know but he would
have more fun if he went to school like
other boys. When the reporter asked him
to pose on the hotel PIAZZA for picture his
eyes twinked, he gave the Hobart smile
full play and said:
YES That would be good fun. I'd
like to-"
Then he wanted the reporter to keep the
camera level and not to let the sunlight
get into the lens. That was the trouble
with most of my pictures at the start he

lot over them. But I'm pretty good at 1t

he met Murphy at Unionsport and accom-

CHICAGO, Sept. 4.-For some time there
have been rumors of the consolidation of
the ST. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha road
with the Chicago & Northwestern and it
was said that the matter would be settled
at a special meeting of the stockholders of
the Northwestern. which is to be held in
port was that the Northwestern would
lease the Omaha road and guarantee the
stakeholder a certain percentage on the
stock Vice President Sykes, of the North
western to-day said that there was no
truth whatever in the stories, and that the
only thing TO be considered at the special
meeting of the stockholders would be the
proposition TO authorize the creation of
bonded debt not exceeding $3.50 900, 900 5-per-
cent gold bonds maturing in 1887 for
the purpose of refunding outstanding oblf-
cations of the company. There would be
no consolidation of the roads, Mr. Sykes
said, because the Northwestern at the pres
