VooDoo DOCTOR DEAD.
Old Billy HartenburG Expires in
His Shanty.

White Plains, June 29.-"Old Billy"
Hartenburg the unenvied possessor of
the reputation of being the uncanniest
character, white or colored, in Westches-
ter County, was yesterday found dead
upon the floor of his shanty back in the
hills three miles from here. He died as
he had lived. mysteriously, with no one
to keep him company.
The body had lain upon it's hard couch
for six weeks, and such were Harten-
burgs known habits that the body might
have remained so for year had not an
urgent call come for his professional SER
vices.
Billy was horse trainer, voodoo
doctor and dealer in charms and amulets
of unrivaled quaintness. He was colored.
almost black, with but few of the mental
characteristics of his race, a fact that
earned for him the commingled fear and
respect of his kind.
Strange tales are told of his learning
in matters concerning the Black Art,
and he could brew from mysterious herbs
a concoction guaranteed to ward off most
| of the physical aches and pains the col
| ored race is heir to.
"BiIlys" chief means of livelihood were
| derived lIOiIi his &DIIIly DIS d lltlSt uOtlOi
| and trainer.
| He was a frequenter of race tracks,
| particularly Morris Park, and it was
| when he was on the turf that he seemed
| to come down to the level of mere man
| and cease for a time his communion with
| the spirits of the air. Even a stable boy
| could chat with him, and the voodoo man
! was human enough TO recognize good
| tip and its uses when he got one.
| Most of the trainers and regulars at the
| track knew him. He was veterinary of
| more than ordinary skill and knew horses
perfectly. His services were in steady
| demand for the simpler ailments.
| Hartenburgs charms apparently did
| not make him immune to trouble. for he
led particularly stormy domestic life.
| He and his wife separated times beyond
| counting, according 10 his neighbors, and
| a year ago she left him for good. After
/ that he lived alone and chose as a COM
forter much poor whisky. He was missed
| from his customary haunts nearly two
| months ago. No one thought to look for
him in his shanty.
| A call for Hartenburg came yesterday
from a trainer at Morris Park. The mes
senger boy knocked and then opened tht
door. He came tearing out a momen
later his hair on end, and did not stoI
| running until he reached White Plains
| Hartenburg's body was taken in charge
by the coroner. The doctors said he haC
died of alcoholism.

BOGUS MERCHANTS.
An Elaborate SwindIinG Scheme Ex-
posed in New York.

New York, June 29.-Through the arrest
of two men at Wilkesbarre, Pa. agents
of the United States Secret Service have
brought to light details of a comprehen-
sive swindling scheme by which various
merchants of New York and other cities
have been robbed. Tt IS estimated that
the swindlers have obtained more than
$150000.
Adolph Blau was arrested on Friday on
the charge of using the United States
mails for perpetrating fraud. On Satur-
day Louis Riflxin was also arrested and
each gave $500 bail.
More than fifty small merchants in and
near Wilkesbarre have failed in the last
two years, and it is alleged they were
backed by B1au and Rifkin. The losses

| houses were so large that they complained

THE coRBETT-M'coY FIGHT.
Nothing Accomplished mt Meeting
of Their Representatives.


New York, June 2S.-Jim Corbett with
Billy Brady, his manager, met William
A. Gray, representing Kid Mccoy. at
Considine's Hotel this afternoon to settle
the preliminaries of the Corbett- Mccoy
fight. The conference was to begin at .
o'clock, but at 2:3O nothing had been done
beyond endless talk Corbett was not
very communicative about the fight, nor
was Brady. In fact, neither of them
seemed to have formed definite opinions
about what he wanted to get.
Mccoy had refused to be present, fear
ing, it is said, a continuation of the alter
cation which he had with Corbett in
Syracuse.
A large following of sports was present
to help the proceedings along with their
counsel.
Gray, for the Hawthorne Athletic Club,
of Buffalo, bid sl2,50O for the fight. and
Tom O'Rourke, of the Lenox Athletic
Club. offered $40 600. Two other PROPOSE
tons were made one by Sam Austen, for
the Broadway Athletic Club of s20, 600,
and one of S15,000 by John S. Barnes. of
England, to pull the fight off there.
Gray refused to consider and club with
which O'Rourke was connected He said
t'Sit ~bNNSOS WOulu never IiSHI III SuCn a
club and he would consider all PROPOSE
tons but O'Rourkes. Then there was an
exchange of compliments in which Cor
bett took hand. He was willing to
fight anywhere in the club that offered
the most money, but it was absurd to
propose going away from New York,
where all the money was.
O'Rourke fired a hot shot by ignoring
Mccoy and telling Corbett that he could
trh n tn hi rl.fIa
big man.
The meeting broke up without deciding
anything. 1t is understood. however, that
Gray will do his best thinking about the
propositions before the representatives
come together again.

Father Graham, as everybody in the
village called him, was one Of the old
fashioned gentlemen, of whom there
are so few left now. He was beloved
by every one, and his influnce in the
little town was great, so good and so
active was he.
A young man of the village had beer
badly insulted and came to Father
Graham full of angry indignation, de-
claring that he was going at once to
demand an apology.
"My dear boy" Father Graham said,
take word of advice from an old
man who loves peace. An insult is
like mud; it will brush off much bet
ter when it is dry. Wait little till
he and you are both cool, and the
thing is easily mended. If you go now,
it will only be to quarrel"
It is pleasant to be able to add that
the young man took his advice; and
before the next day was done, the in
su,ting person came to beg forgive
ness.

ON Mortgages That Fad Been

Probably in the history of the con-
tinent there never was such q tide of
prosperity enjoyed by any country as
the Dominion of Canada Is being IA
vored with. That portion of Canada
known as Western Canada is attract
ing thousands of people, who are seek
ing homes on the arabic lands Of that
new but rapidly developing country.
Possessed OF exceptionally good rail-
road privileges, the beh! school sys-
tenn IN the world, churches in every
small settlement, while Ia the towns
ana cities all denominations are rep
resented, and with markets. in close
proximity to the grain fields, most of
the requirements for a comfortable ex-
lstence are met. The development
that Is now taking place in the min
Ing districts gives an impulse to agri-
culture, and good prices, with good
crops, bring about state OF affairs
that the crowded districts of more
populous centers are taking advan-
tage Of The Associated Press dis
patches a few days since had the fol-
lowing telegram:
Toronto, Feb. 4.-(Special.)-Loan
companies that made advances on
Manitoba property years ago report
that the returns from tie west during
the past three months have exceeded
expectations. One company has taken
from Manitoba over $4,000 interest,
and discharged mortgages, many of
which had been written off year ago.
Directors of leading loan companies
are taking greater interest in bust
ness of their institutions, and are in
curing into many properties on which
advances have been made.
The climate in the western provinces
OF Manitoba, Alberta, Assiniboia and
Saskatchewan is excellent, there be-
ing no healthier anywhere. The Can
adam government is now offering spe-
cial inducements for the encourage
ment Of settlers, and they have their
agents at work throughout the United
States for the purpose of giving in
formation and distributing literature.
Among those going to Canada are
many ex-Canadians, who have failed
to make as good living as they ex-
pected in the United States.
