SWINDLERS FALL OUT
AND THE PENITENTTARIES ARE
LIKELY TO RECEIVE ACCESsIONS.
Arrest of Three Men Who Are Said to
Be Members of the Notorious
WOrthingtOn Gang.

NEW YORK, Dec. George S. Martin,
Charles S. Grillo and W. S.-Cutler, who are
said to be members Of the Worthington
gang, one of the most notorious gangs of
real estate swndlers in the country, were
to-day arrested and locked up in the Tombs
on charges of swindling. The police have
been after them for over a year. Each of
the men has a long list of aliases and is
known by one name or another in nearly
every State in the Union A few days ago
the police received word that Martin, who
is under indictment by the grand jury here
under the name of George H. Thomas, was
in New York Grillo, who is in Philadelphia,
sent this information. Martin was arrested,
and in turn he gave information to the
police that led to the arrest of Grille and
Cutler. All are under indictment by the
grand jury.
The Worthington gang was run by Henry
and John Worthington who had offices at
No. Is Wall street. They did business ex-
tensively in fictitious real estate deals by
the aid of bogus checks. They were con-
victed of conspiracy in February last and
sent to Elmira and Sing Sing prisons About
two years ago, the police say, Martin and
Grillo swindled Miss Ruth Frost, of Mon
Idia, out Oh nef ldfIl eventually she mar
ried Grillo and went to Philadelphia After
q time she fell in love with Martin and
while her husband was on trip to Wash
ington she eloped with Martin to Butte.
Mont. Some weeks ago Martin came to
New York with the former Mrs Grillo and
her husband, learning of this and in the
way of revenge, notified the police.
Martin is under indictment on a charge
of having swindled Patrick Monroe, of Jer-
sey City, out of $780, and was arrested on
that charge. Crillo is under indictment on
a charge of having conspired to swindle
Mrs. Mary e. Smith, of Washington, D. c.
In February last. He is also under indict-
ment in this city, charged with having sold
one-half interest in the Manhattan Realty
Company, a fictitious company, to four per-
sons within two days. and it is for this in
6ictment that he was arrested by the police
in Philadelphia at the instance of the New
York police authorities. Cutler was arrested
in Philadelphia about the same time 1t is
said also by the police that the prisoners,
to which it is alleged they belong, secured
control of some land in western Missouri
which they mortgaged many times TO each
other, using the mortgages as securities in
their real-estate transactions.
The latest development in the case, and
the one which brought the facts to light
occurred in the Center-strcet Police Court
raigned on the charge of forgery. Grillo
charged that Martin had forged the name
of George s. King, by which Grillo was
known, 10 a deed for land in western Mis-
souri, valued at $,0e0. Martin was held in
s.. 900 bail for trial on this charge He is
also. together with Grillo and Cutler, held
in 5000 ball on the other charge.

SIR Edward Grey on the AngIO-AmeP-
icnn Wave of Fellowship.


LONDON, Dec. Sir Edward Grey, Lib
eral member of Parliament, who was under
secretary of state for foreign affairs in
Lord Roseberys Cabinet, spoke tonight on
foreign affairs at Blackburn, in Lancashire.
Referring to the magnificent effect on the
relations between the United States and
Great Britain accomplished by the free
press Of q free people on each side of the
Atlantic, expressing the generous impulses
of each nation" he said: Il would rather
have the free play of this national senti-
ment, which is enriching the public life of
both countries, than a written alliance. We
have finally come to realize a double pa
trioism-the patriotism Of race and the pa
triotisIn of country. There is a common
bond between the two peoples, and we
should look in times of peace to see the SEN
timent growing and in times of disturbance
to find in 1t something upon which we
Sir Edward Grey condemned the 'at-
tempts of some Conservative speakers to
make party capital out of this understand
ing and expressed a hope that both Ger
many and the United States may incline
more and more, to our policy Of an open
door, which will lead to a great improve
ment in trade throughout the world"

opinion of those most familiar with the

ton. 1t is all exported, and there would

practically no rope manufactured in the

designed the edifice, and with 1t goes a
bell to summon the worshipers. Books

famous treatment to which he had been
subjected by the merciless pony lin
gered in his mind. Picking up the foot
he found, deeply Embedded in the frog
thereof, a sharp, white stone.
1t was only a moments work to whip
out his knife and dig away the wound
ing fragment--the bit of rock that had
saved his life, in all probability. And
such piteous moan of relief as that
broncho gave when the fresh, healing
blood flowed out of the cash!
Bob placed the foot gently down, and
laying his hand on the animals neck
spoke to him tenderly. 1t was evident
the pony had never been treated with
Kindness before; assuredly respect,
shame, humiliation and love were in his
countenance now, as he placed his nose
on the lads shoulder and rubbed his
sweat-reeking cheeks against the bloody
one of his master.
For momen so they stood. Bob
looked at the stone that had done so
much for them both-for now they were
friends. 1t was white quartz, strealed
with peculiar lines that were weaved
in and out of it strangely.
Turning it over the boy made an ex-
clamation of surprise. He rubbed and
cleaned it, and looked again. A gleam-
ing speck, surrounded by smaller
specks of equal brightness, appeared on
its surface.
"Goid!" he cried, excitedly.
And gold ii was!
Then down on his knees fell young
Conway, paving away at the soil,
while the horse looked on and seemed
to love him.
He presently came to that for which
he searched-the ledge OF quartz, buried
beneath a shallow layer of earth, from
which the piece had been broken. Over
this he bent in an ecstacy of Joy, for
gold was glinting all through it, prom
Using all manner of wonderful things
for the future.
At last he excitedly covered the spot
with the sandy soil. placed in his pock-
ct the little piece of ore. and stood on
his feet.
"Oh. you beauty, you beautyl" he
cried to the broncho. He threw his
arms about the pony's neck and Rugged
him warmly. San imp you are. and
my own Imp you shall be as long as
you live. And this, too, this gold mine,
shall be called the sBucl1ing Broncho,'
by all that's fair!'

WHAT TRIPLE EXTRACT IS.
The Process by which the Od0r Of
Flowers IL Obtained.

The Process by which the OdOr of
Flowers IL Obtained.
Flowers that are to be used in the
manufacture of perfumes are always
gathered at nightfall or quite early in
the morning when the dew is upon
them. Before they are gathered, how
ever, receptacles are prepared for them
in the shape of large frames, over which
are stretched cotton cloths well sat
urated with olive oil or almond oil. The
cut flowers are brought in, and are
thickly spread on frame; then another
frame is fitted over it, and that in turn
is well spread with flowers; then third
frame is fitted over the second spread of
flowers, and thus the work goes on until
huge pile of flowers is prepared.
This flower heap is left for two days,
at the end of which time the flowers are
removed from the frames and replaced
by fresh ones. The frames are filled and
emptied every two days until two weeks
have passed. Then the cloths are de-
tached from the frames and placed I'M
der great pressure, and all the oil is
pressed out of them. The oil thus OBJ
tanned is heavily>charged with the frag-
rance of the flowers, and it is mixed
with double its weight of very pure
rectified spirits and put in vessel
called "digester," which is simply a
porcelain or block-tin kettle that fits
in another kettle. When in use the
outer vessel is filed with boiling water
In this vessel the mixture of oil and
spirits "digests'' for three or four days;
then, after having cooled. the spirit is
decanted into another vessel holding
the same quantity of fragrant oil, and
the digesting process is repeated. After
being thus digested three times the
spirit is found to have taken up enough
of the perfume, and it is then decanted
from the oil for the third and last time
through tube, one end of which is
filled with cotton wool to serve as a
filter. The fluid thus prepared il called
"triple extract" Philadelphia Times
