LINDSEY BOUND OVER.
Numerous Victims Identify the Negro
COunterfeiter.

George Lindsey, the negro counterfeiter,
captured at Osborne's grocery Monday
evening, was given a hearing before United
States Commissioner Van Buren, yesterday
afternoon. No less than seventeen people
upon whom Lindsey had passed raised bills
were there and identified him. The last one
to do so was Mrs. Loesh, a young woman
who keeps a candy store on Virginia ave-
nue.. Some weeks ago Lindsey entered her
store and bought some candy, offering her
one of the raised bills to pay for it. She
hesitated about making the change, and
Lindsey endeavored to snatch the bill from
her. She chung to it and he choked her
roughly until a small boy, entering the
store, began to scream, and the negro took
to his heels. He had torn the bill in two,
but Mrs. Loesh held half of it, and turned
it over to the United States authorities
Yesterday she came into the marshal's Of
flee just after the hearing had closed and
Lindsey was caused to stand up in the
light. She took one good square look at
him and turned to the commissioner with a
smile. That's the man." she said en-
phatically and left the room. Lindsey was
bound over to the grand jury and remanded
to Jail in default of $1,000 bail. The wit
nesses went Immediately before the grand
jury and gave their testimony there.

directors of the two associations, w. Cars
tang, Robert N. Lamb, Boswell Ward and
William II. Dye, Last week the court in
structed the assignee to proceed against the
directors if. after investigation, he
deemed it advisable. Since then, the report
said, the directors have renewed their Of
fers to compromise. although they disclaim
any liability.
Mr. Rabb claimed, in his report, that the
compromise would give the assignee s., 500
for distribution among the creditors in adj
dition to the $Ss4.66 turned over by Mr.
Garstang some time ago as his share of
the stock and money which he had drawn
out of the two associations. By the provi-
sions of the compromise, Robert N Lamb

Mr.. Rabb recommended that the eompro-
mise be accepted ana 1t was put on record
at the order of the court. This was DONE
however, over the protest of Attorneys
Hord and Perkins, who represent some of
the stockholders. They claimed that much
better terms should have been made with
the directors. There seemed TO be a diff
ference between the court and the attorney
for the stockholders as to the manner in
which the assignee has conducted the litiga-
ton. The attorneys have argued that the
assignee has not pushed the case as vigor-
ously as could have been desired. On the
other hand, Judge Allen contends that As
signee Rabb has been most efficient and
prompt in his efforts to wind up the litiga-
ton. Mr.. Rabb now thinks that one of the
associations will pay 20 per cent. and the
other 80 per cent. on the indebtedness.

night at the courthouse, when the report of
the assignee will be discussed

Injustice TO a Young Man.


OIIICdSO TOSt
The st. Paul youth who has been fined
81? for kissing a girl against her wishes
Der of Young men All over the eou nfrl1-
OF course, there isn't one of the young
men who believes in going contrary to the
wishes of the girls in such matters but
neither is there one of them who does not
realize how very difficult it is to definitely
ascertain the wishes of the girls. The fact
that one of them puts her hands in front
of her face and says Now don't! You
really mustnt!' is no indication that she
won't regard the young man who takes her
seriously as a 'chump." Again, the young
man who waits for a girl to say, why,
certainly; help YOURSELF is likely to have
to worry through this life with a large
stock of unkissed kisses on hand. There
fore, as it is largely matter of guesswork
the injustice of assessing errors at $25 each
will be readily seen.

WHY KARCHER DRINKS.
His Wires Untidy Ways, He Alleges,


the Cause of 1t.
In the divorce suit of Alma Ardella Kar-
cher against Joseph Karcher, an answer
was yesterday filed by the defendant in the
Superior Court. Mrs. Karcher, in her COM
plant, accused her husband of cruelty. In
reply, the defendant shows up some of his
wifes alleged shortcomings. Karcher de-
clares the plaintiff was dirty housekeep-
err and refused to cook his meals for him.
He says her untidy ways and reckless OK
travagance really drove him to drink. He
tells of her having often visited the
grocery store and purchased quantities of
'nicknacks and candies" for herself when
her children were crying for something
to eat. Sometimes, he says, she would run
a $15 grocery bill in one week. Karcher
charges his wife with deserving him. He
says she left home one day when he was
absent She took the three older children
and was about TO desert the youngest child,
when the neighbors interfered and put the
child on the street car which she boarded.
Karcher is a fireman employed at Otis
lounge factory He says he has a good
home and is willing to care for his children.

General Wade Hampton, who has just
been succeeded by General Longstreet as
commissioner of railroads, has submitted to
the Interior Department at Washington his
report for the past fiscal year. He says that
the year marked the low-water mark of
railway construction. During the year thir-
ty-four companies, with 5,441 miles of road,
passed into the hands of the courts and
ffty-eight others previously placed in re-
ownership were sold at foreclosure. A steady
improvement in railroad earnings during
the first six months of the current year is
noted, an improvement particularly appar-
ent in the bond-aided Pacific railroads. The
outlook in the West generally for the pres
eflt year is reported very encouraging.
General Hampton, though discounting any
attempt to criticise the course of the gov
eminent in the Union Pacific matter. says
he has always Believed that a settlement
more advantageous to the government could
be obtained if all the companies, particu-
larly the Union and Central Pacific. could
be negotiated with at the same time through
a commission to be appointed by the Presi-
dent and possibly all in the same way. than
by settling at different times and on diff
ferent basis. Government ownership, or OPP
Grating under government supervision, he
says, would be not only doubtful but a
dangerous experiment, which probably
would result disastrously to the govern
ment.

A Regiment Lost.
Golfers Week.


Not a week passes without the more cred
ulOus and impressionable of our people be-
ing told by demagogues or fools that all
the land east of the Mississippi has been
taken up, and that there is no elbow room
anywhere for the who would carve
home for himself frCm the forest. as our
ancestors used to do How, l wonder, will
these authorities explain the losing. last
week. of an entire regiment of United states
soldiers who were making long practice
march in northern Georgia? The soldiers
may have known where they were, but for
at least a day the War Departments dis
patches could not find them. nor could any
railway or telegraph authorities learn any
thing of their whereabouts. Had such an
occurrence been reported from one OF the
new States of the Rocky mountains II would
not have been thought wonderful, but the
soldiers line of march was several hun
dred miles TO the eastward &c the Missis-
sppi, in States more than hundred years
old, and within hundred miles of the capi-
tai of either Of these States. There is no
lack of unoccupied land in the older States,
but there is an alarming surplus Of lazy
muscle.

JENKINS ON THE STAND.
Tries to Prove an AIibi for Highway
mnn Jacobs.


The trial of Tillman Jacobs, who is
charged with highway robbery is attracting
a great deal of attention in the Criminal
Court. The immediate crime for which
Jacobs is being tried is the robbery of John
Werner and wife, near Brightwood Sept
%. However, the police and the states at
torneys are confident that a number of
other lawless deeds can be fastened on ia
cobs and the man who was arrested with
him. James Jenkins.
About the time of the Werner 'hold-up"
there were a number of robberies near In
dianapolis. Two men, named Rogers and
Peacock, were driving along a lonely road
in Hendricks county a few nights before the
two highwaymen, who shot at them. On
the same night Mrs. Jordan and son were
robbed near Mount Jackson, west of the
city. Sept. IL, two weeks before the Werner
affair, George Emmerich was robbed on
the Madison road. The state feels sure the
accused men were concerned in each of
these cases. Jacobs and Jenkins were ar
rested near West indianapolis a week after
the Werner robbery An hour before their
arrest Mrs. Hohlt and son, who were driv-
ing from West Indianapolis to their home
near haywood were stopped in the road
by two highwaymen. Both Mrs. Hohlt and
her son have identified Jacobs as one of the
men they encountered in the road.
Jenkins was put the stand yesterday
for the defense. He attempted TO show that
neither he nor Jacobs could have been in
volved in the Werner robbery. He claimed
an alibi for himself and Jacobs. He said
that early in September he and Jacobs went
to Illinois. where they worked at corn
cutting. The day of their arrest they We're
driving through from Terre Haute, and had
reached Eagle creek that evening when
found by the officers. Jenkins seemed to
remember just what he and Jacobs were
doing the days the robberies took place.
Jenkins, on cross-examination admitted
that he and the Jacobs brothers had been
comparing notes" and going over the dates
prior to his going on the stand. The three
Jacobs brothers appeared to be very nerv-
Gus while Jenkins was being pressed by the
prosecution.

The question of differentials on passenger
fares between st. Louis and New York and
. Chicago and New York is monopolizing a
great deal of attention. The Chicago lines
have felt its effects for some time, and if
are carried out, after Dec. the ST. Louis
lines will have the matter to contend with,
and it now looks as if the Joint Traffic AS
ISOLATION would decline to modify or annul
the ruling. In Eastern passenger circles it
is an open secret that if the arbitrator of
the Joint Traffic Association decide to grant
differentials to the Vanderbilt lines, as re-
quested, open warfare will be begun by
the other roads, which means the paying of
business, and also the slashing of rates
generally. This, it is understood would
prove an event of much satisfaction to the
Vanderbilt lines, which are extremely
anxious to inaugurate a war upon the
weaker roads that will eventually wipe out
all differentials, and it is understood that
such object was in view when the re-
quest was made for differential fares over
the Vanderbilt lines.
1t is contended by the strong lines that
entails the weak lines haven't drawn a
straight breath, Notwithstanding their
promises to cease paying commissions were
the differentials granted them. Since the
the payment of these commissions has been
even more barefaced than usual, and the
board of managers of the Joint Traffic AS
ISOLATION is as well aware of this fact as
the Baltimore & Ohio road on all New York
business out of Chicago has been paying a
So commission. both to Scalpers and to reg
ular ticket agents of connecting lines.
