The Sea-Water Gold Fraud.

There has been much in print within
the past year In regard TO the extensive
plant at North Lubec, erected there by a
company known as the Electroytic
Marine Salts Co., for the purpose OF
extracting gold from sea-water.
The building of this plant and the tinan.
ciering of the scheme which now ap.
pears to be stupenduous fraud seems
70 have been concocted and worke ed by
two adventurers, Rev. ?. F. Jernegan
and c. E. Fisher, aided and addicted
doubtless, by many others interested
officials of the company, agents ETC., also
Marcus w. Jernegan, brother of the
reverend fraud.
1t became known Friday last, that
something was wrong at the works al
Lubec, and that crises in the affairs oil
the company had arrived. cessation
of work and discharge of 20 employee;
occurred that day.
1t appears that stock to a large
amount had been sold, that the manager
had converted the money received after
paying running expenses into govern
ment bonds. P. F. Jernegan, principa
promoter, left New York for Havre
France, several days ago taking ~ it'll
him about 100000 or more in United
States bonds. He registered on the shiE
under an assumed name. Governor
Wolcott was requested by Chief Inspect
or Watts to demand Jernegan's arres
when he landed ut Havre. The reques
through the office of the Secretary o.
State at Washington. superintendent
Eldridge and Chief Watts If Boston
have also wired the Chief of Police a
Havre to arrest Jernegan as soon AS ht
arrives.
There are numerous victims in Lubet
and EastpOrt, many of the leading mer
in the two places having been duped tt
the amount of some $4,000. 1t WAS {
