Managers of SwindIing Concern in

Are Missing.

which has accepted the deposits of
thousands of persons in Brooklyn I'M
der promise of paying dividends of ten
per cent. a week, or $50 per cent. per
annum, and Cecil Leslie, his secretary,
were indicted by the Kings county
grand jury Friday. Bench warrants
were issued for their arrest, but neither
has been found.
How GREATS the alleged swindle no one
knows, for the amount Of funds on hand
cannot be even approximated, but it is
confidently asserted that Miller has
taken in not less than $4.000,000 since he
began business. The receipts of the
concern, especially in the last few days,
have been enormous, and how many
persons will lose their principal cannot
be even guessed at. Many of the de-
positors or victims were persons of
small means, who put all they could get
together into the concern.

Grave BilI' Anthony, of BnttIeshfp
Maine Fame, Commits Suicide
in New York.

New York, Nov. 25.-William An
thony, better known as Brave Bill"
Anthony, died at the Presbyterian hos
pital Friday, half an hour after he had
swallowed a quantity of cocaine at one
of the Central park entrances. He was
the man who on February Is, 1898,
when the battleship Maine was blown
up in Havana harbor reported to Capt.
Sigsbee in the famous words: 'Sir, [
have the honor to report that the ship
has been blown up and is sinking" On
his return to this country Anthony was
accorded receptions everywhere. He re-
ceived many invitations from cities to
be their guest. For months he trav-
eled over the country, being accorded
the honors of hero. When his leave of
absence was ended Anthony was pro-
noted to be sergeant of marines, and
was detailed at the Brooklyn navy yard.
In one of Anthony's coat pockets was
found letter written by him to his
aunt, which read that he was discour-
aged and disconsolate and was going to
end it all. Among the articles found
was a picture of his one-monthold
child, on the back of which was writ
ten: BURY this with me-" A Spanish
American war medal, such as all sur
vivors of the battleship Maine received,
was also found
