ARRESTED FOR LIBEL.

THE IRISH GYPSY HAS CHARLES w.
EDWARDS "PINCHED" AGAIN
THIS MORNING.
Charles w. Edwards. editor Of the
Evening Journal was arresterd yes
terday afternoon and taken before Magis-
trate Kelley on three charges Of criminal
libel, two of which were preferred by
Peter J. Ford and one by the Schilling
Dry Goods Company. Mr.. Edwards was
held in $500 bail on each charge for a
hearing before the Court of General Ses-
sions Lewis c. Vandegrift becoming his
bondsman. The suits We're based on ar
ticles appearing in the Evening Journal
and the Sunday Herald.
This morning Mr. Edwards learned OF
another charge Of the same character by
Ford, and at once went to Magistrate
Kelleys Office with a bondsman and was
again held IN $500.
Mr.. Edwards has arranged to report
daily at tho magistrates office to learn
Of additional cases against him and vii
make arrangements for bondsmen tasi
as Ford gets out his warrants.

Yesterday afternoon a summons, return
able forthwith. was issued out Of the Of
fee Of Justice of the Peace John A.
Kelly, on charges preferred by Frank
schilling. of the schilling Dry Goods
Company, of No. 3i4 Market street.
against Charles w. Edwards, manager Of
The Sunday Herald.
These charges were preferred at the in
stlgation Of Peter ]. Ford who Is the
hacker Of the Schilling Dry Goods Com
pany. and is the man who concocted the
game Of chance" whereby the women Of
this city are invited 10 participate In a
grand prize drawing to take place en-
September IA at the place Of business Of
the schiling Dry Goods Company, No.
8l4 Market street.
As an example of the unprincipled meth
DDS by which Peter ]. Ford, alias the
Irish Gypsy" maker and breaker OF
men. attempts to defraud the trusting
public the advertisement Of the Schiling
Dry Goods Company, which appears in
local papers. may be considered a fan
criterion.
The schrling Dry Goods Company Is
largely controlled, if not owned outright
by Ford. 1t is true that Frank r
Schilling and Elmer Dougherty. who
married Ford's niece, have AN interest
likely an innnltessimal one-in the con.
cern. but Ford is the leading spirit, and
it is through him that the business IS
carried on.
The particular attraction Of this firm
by which It draws largely upon the un
suspecting ones, is the fact that II adver
tises to give away First. an elegant up
right plano'-(the piano may be upright
but Peter is not). Second, ladys fin'
gold watch"-Pete will bear watching.
Third, a solitaire diamond g."-(Pet'
is "solitaire"-in his own class)
The conditions are that I'VE are nov
giving to every purchaser Of one or NOR
dollars worth Of goods at our store,

will entitle the holder to a chance Cmarl

Now Peter ]. Ford, alias the "Sohillini

a gambling scheme. He knows tha
gambling Is against the laws Of the Stat
OF Delaware. He knows that he does no
