FROM PEARL" TO dear "ED"
Letters That Resulted i'm Young Bee
mans Arrest at Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, Aug. 30.-Julils w. Bee
man, a young married man, and a brother
of DR.. E. E. Beeman. the wealthy chewing
gum manufacturer, was arrested to-day On
Sunday Chief of Police Corner received
from the chief of police of Buffalo several
letters picked up on the streets of Buffalo.
All are alike and were written in q womans
hand. Each was addressed to Dear Ed"
and was signed Pearl" The letter was
very tendet, as though the two were very
dear to each other, and expressed sorrow
that she was not able to meet him in Buff
falo and was compelled to go to Wheeling,
w. Va. Being out of money while in Cleve~
land, Pearl" wrote she had been compelled
to pawn her solitaire diamond ring She
had asked for only $3.50 on it, whereas she
might easily have obtained $75.'' Pearl
begged forgiveness, and nclosed the pawn
check and requested Dear Ed" to re-
deem the ring. The pawn ticket was of the
regulation kind, and had ostensibly been
given by Julius w. Beeman, pawn broker,
Beckman Block Cleveland. o."
The Cleveland police located Beeman at
once in the beckman Block. and upon in
quiry learned that he represented himself
TO be the agent of medical company. He
was receiving a great many letters from
Buffalo. Beeman refused to honor a pawn
check presented by a detective declaring
that he did not run a pawn shop, and that
some one must have played joke on him.
However he was arrested the police be-
lieving that he was confirming his operations
to the mail. number Of the Dear Ed
letters and pawn checks, made out for
PEARLS ring were found in his waste
paper basket How many letters from Buff
falO containing the pawn checks and remit
tances of $3.50 that Beeman received the
police decline TO state, even II they knew.
1t is presumed that considerable number
of the letters were dropped on the streets in
Buffalo

WILLINCREASE TAXRATE
TAGGART's ADMINISTRATION DE-
CIDES TO BOOST 1T TEN CENTS.
Yet, with This, 1t Is Necessary TO
Abandon Pet Schemes for
Expenses.

The tax levy will be raised from 60 to 20
cents. This, with other matters of i'm
portance in the city government, was de-
cided at a meeting of the city officials last
night at the Office of the mayor. Controller
Johnson strongly opposed increasing the tax
levy, but the other officials could not see
how the expenses of the city can be paid
next year on the present 60-cent levy. Coun-
Gilman Titles ordinance raising the sala-
ries of the police and fire forces was given
a death blow, as also was Superintendent of
Police Quigley's fond dream of four police
substations. No police substations will be
built, but the ''calaboose'' at West Indian
apolis may be remodeled into station and
one may be established at an engine house
somewhere in the northern part of the city.
Neither will the usefulness of the fire de-
partment be increased by an additional en-
CINE house All along the line, the estimates
furnished by the heads of the different de-
partments of the amount of money they
would require to operate next year were
cut down. The estimates will be further
cut by the city controller to-day.
The extra 10 cents on the 500 will go to
the improvement of the park lands and of
streets, it is claimed The appropriation for
the payment of firemens salaries would
have run $1,000 short this year had not the
salaries been cut one-seventh, and the APP
preparation for police force salaries is short
$4,000. 1t will be necessary to increase these
appropriations to prevent the same shortage
from turning up next year. The firemen will
be returned to full pay at the first Of the
year, and their weekly day off will be given
back to them. 1t is rumored that Council
man Little is unruly and will try to force
his salary-increasing ordinance through,
Notwithstanding the stand of the mayor and
the city controller. 1t is believed, however,
that he will receive little encouragement
from the rest of the councimen, who are
bound in the spell of the mayor. The mayor
said the tax levy is to be raised because 1T
seems impossible to run the city properly
on it's present income without going into.

OWEN DARNELL THOUGHT HE HAD
BAGGED GANG OF MELON THIEVES.

Owen Darnell, twenty-four years old, liv-
ing at 1902 Belmont avenue, West Indian

CURED about o'clock. The Darnells have
a large patch of melons which they are
raising for the market. The ground extends
from the rear OF the house, west to the
bank of Eagle creek. Through the patcn
runs a wagon road, which is used by the
Darnells in gathering their melons. Ihey

and sat on the fence. According to the
statement of the men who were shot, they
went down to Eagle creek directly after

claim that after they had given the dogs
sufficient bathing they left the creek and
started to walk through Darnell's place by
way of the wagon road. They say they had
no intention of stealing melons.
Darnell, seated on the fence, with his
shotgun across his knee, saw the three men
and the boy approaching. They were then
about twenty rods away from him. He says
he did not mean to hurt anybody, and aimed
to shoot over their heads. The instant ne

down from the house and met the wounded
men and boy, who were walking towards

shortly after he reached the station house

BROWNSTOWN, Ind, Aug. SO-Last
night in a quarrel in Crabbs saloon here
Charles Hurrell shot and fatally wounded
his uncle Frank, better known as Dick
Burrell The shooting was the ioutcome of
a quarrel which occurred two years ago, in
which Dick cut his nephew across the face,
leaving a frightful scar. Charley had that
day paid a fine and remarked the fact to
Dick who replied: Charley. whenever you
want the old man come and get him." In
stantIy Charley drew his pistol and fired
twice. One shot took effect in the breast
while the other went through his body and
lodged in the region of his liver. Dick
staggered out of the saloon to the street
where he fell He was picked up and car
ried to the home of his brother Reuben
where he has been living for some time.
He is mortally wounded, and up TO a
late hour to-day his nephew had not been
arrested. AS soon as the shooting occurred
he made his escape, and has not since been
located. The career of the injured man has
been a checkered one. When a mere boy
he shot and killed Marshal Hauercot. and
when about fifteen years old he almost cut
Pinch" Avise's throat. About ten years
ago he shot William Minscott in the breast,
and for this was sent, to prison for ten
years. being released only about two years
ago.
Both men are closely related to families
in good standing here, several of their
relatives holding high political and mercan-
tile positions.
