How Thieves got Control of q Savings

How Thieves got Control of q Savings
Association.
Buffalo telegram to New York Trlb-
une: John L. White and Charles L.
Eastwood are under arrest here charged
with robbins the Globe Savings and
Loan Association. of this city, of $780,
500, by game that is remarkable for Its
cleyerness and the ease with which 1t
was worked on the officers OF the ASSOC
| citation. Warrants are out for three
others who had part In the scheme,
! but they have not yet been arrested,
and their names are kept secret.
-Four weeks ago a man came here and
| told. the officers Of the association that a
trust building and loan association was
money by joining 1t. He said he was
from New York, and was lawyer. and
the men he was representing would pay
a bonus to get control Of the Globe. II
the officers of the Globe would resign
In favor of his friends there would be
lots of money for every one.
To this remarkable proposition the
Globe officers appear to have consented,
for on March q Eastwood and White
and three other men came to Buffalo.
On this day eight of the twelve direc-
tors OF the Globe Association resigned
and new board was elected, with
White, Eastwood and their friends as
members. Then meeting was held
and the old officers resigned. White
was elected president. and Eastwood
secretary and treasurer.
The next day White and Eastwood
visited the banks where the association
had deposits, in all about $4,000. and
began drawing this money out East
wood sent to the City National Bank
with stranger, whom he introduced as
man from whom the association had
bought land in Queens county. East
wood said he wanted to make pay
meut to this man. The stranger pre-
scented check signed by Eastwood for
s10.500, which the bank paid. Then the
stranger disappeared.
Eastwood undertook to transfer the
deposits in two other banks to the City
National Bank, and in this way the
scheme was discovered. Joseph Block,
president of the Citizens Bank,in which
the association had $500. became sus-
picious when the check signed by East
man came IN from the City Bank. and
he made an investigation which result
od In the arrest Of Eastwood on Friday.
White was arrested last night. The old
officers Of the association have turned
over to the association securities to
make good the s10.500 which the man
from Queens county got away with.

INTELLlGENCER.
WHEELING, APRIL 10. 1900.


. The ugly demonstrations against the
property OF the Wheeling Railway COM
pany on Saturday and yesterday moves
the Intellgencer to admonish the dis
orderly inclined persons in the COM
munity against further outbreaks.
which, II continued, will likely grow to
such proportions as to be beyond the
control OF the officers OF the law. So
far as learned none Of the strikers was
concerned in the lawless demonstra-
lions that have occurred, and their
misguided sympathizers are doing them
far more harm than good by their overt
acts against the peace of the city. 1t
is in the kindest spirit that the Intel
lIge1cer pleads with this mistaken class
to refrain from further demonstrations
of the character they have INDUCED in.
1t is vel. enough at this point to call
attention to the consequences that will
follow any destruction of the property
of the railway company. The company
will not suffer In any respect for any
loss that may result In consequence of
riot or disorder will have to be made
good by the Taxpayers of the city and
county. To give force to this sugges-
tion 1t Is only necessary to recall the
costly experience OF the city Of Pitts
burgh and Allegheny county resulting
from the railroad riots Of 1877. When
the Pennsylvania Railroad company
paid taxes on Its property within the
corporate limits of Pittsburgh. tagged
Its crossings and in other respects COM
piled with the requirements OF munic-
ipal law, 1t had insured itself against
the destruction of that property by
mo5s.
= Now II the public authorities fail to
protect the Wheeling Railway COM
pany's property the taxpayers will have
to pay for 1t. This will add burden
to the debt of the. city and county and
hang another milestone to the pros
perity OF the city. under the weight of
(which the whole community Will stag
ger for years. The people who do the
work OF destruction have not even the
poor consolation OF having punished the
corporation that they hate, for the com
pany will so Into court and collect pay
for its losses.
Whatever may be the grievance COM
planned OF, the fact that violence. in
cendiarism and wiIfui destruction Of
property are the Instruments OF urging
the cause OF the aggrieved debars them
from all support or sympathy. The sole
question IS whether ours Is n govern
ment Of law. and whether citizens are
to be secure in their lives and property.
Let mob rule once prevail and the end
cannot be forcseen.
TIL Intclligencer does not believe that
the striking employees of the railway
company are disposed to argue their
cause with violence. but 1t behoovcs
them to use their best endeavors in
dissuading their over-zcalous sympa-
thizcrs from further acts Of violence II
they would hope to succeed in their
contention.

THE LAND OF PEACE.

Oh, tell me the way to the realms of peace,
Where liz childhood days we strayed;
Where We plucked fair blossoms from
boughs of gold,
And then, when the days sweet tale was
told,
Slumbered and walked in peace.
We have Travelled far from the peaceful
land.
Where those sunny days were spent,
Out into the world of sorrow and care,
Away from the quiet and beauty there
In that far-off land of peace.
And we often sigh, mid the toll and strife
OF this workaday world Of ours,
For a glimpse of the sunny lanes and dells,
The sound of the magical, musical bells
OF our childhood's realms of peace.
oh, tell me the way to the realms of peace;
] have searched for it far and wide;
Have somtimes fancied l saw its trees,
And the snowy wings on the evening
breeze
OF it's brooding angel of peace.
We may not return to the sun-kissed cline
OF our childhood dreams again;
We have Travelled too far; our weary feet
The long, long journey could not repeat
To regain that land of peace.
But we journey on to fairer land
Than that which in dreams we see;
And we know full well, sometime, some.
where,
We shall catch the radiance, wondrous
fair,
OF the land of perpetual peace.
We shall catch the notes of sweeter song
Than e'er we have dreamed or heard
We shall see vision of streets, all gold;
We shall fall asleep as In days of old,
And slumber and wake in peace.

to 1872 Persons.

To be the head of family of 1862 per.
sons is record seldom falling to the
lot of man. But such is the case wit
John Chandler, who resides in Allen
county. Ky.
This gentleman is the father of 90
children, 81 OF whom are now living
and have families. These 81 ckildre n
have an average of five children to each
family, thus making Mr.. Chandler the
grandfather OF 105 persons. But this
is not the full extent of his offspring
for he has 35 great-grandchildren. So
it will be seen that Mr.. Chandler stands
paterfamilias of 162-an achievement
rarely equaled.
Mr.. Chandler is q remarkable ma

found the professor raring together
broken bits of stone and rusty scraps
of old iron, they settled in their own
minds that he was an eLchanter. who
needed these seemingly worthless
things in order to frame magic spell
by which the buried money was to be
discovered. From that day he became
very mysterious and wonderful person
in their eyes, and his strange doings-
which grew stranger still every time
they were told-were the talk of the
whole country round.
But it unluckily happened that
among the many who heard and won
dered at these stories were band OF
Arab robbers who haunted the neigh
boring mountains; and it struck these
gentlemen that it would be no bad plan
to get hold of this understanding
European, force him to unearth some
of the hidden money for them, and SO
make themselves rich for life.
One hot afternoon the professor had
wandered to a considerable distance
from the camp in search of new spots
to dig for relics. He was sitting in the
shade of bowlder, thinking over all he
| had done and all that he meant to do,
when suddenly there came gliding out
from between two great rocks right in
| 'front.' of him six or seven tall, wild-eyed,
fierce-looking Arabs, in, soiled white
turbans and ragged blue frocks, every
man with long gun on his shoulder
and huge knife in his tattered Grim
son sash.
Herr Altenstein knew at the first
glance who these grim-looking fellows
were, and what they wanted. But he
had not lived for years in the east with.
out knowing how to deal with Arabs.
He never stirred from his place, but
only turned his head slowly round, ano
looked full at them through his great
green spectacles, without uttering 8
word.
Now, story has got abroad about
these spectacles, as about everything
else belonging to the 'enchanter." 1t
was said that he had killed tiger and
put on its eyes over his own, by which
means he could find his way in the
dark and see things which were to be
seen by no one else. So when the SUI
perstitious robbers saw the glare of
these terrible double eyes" turned full
upon them they began to lose heart at
once. to hang back as if the professor
had been a loaded cannon.
Then Herr Altenstein rose slowly to
his full height and cried in Arabic:
"Who are We who dare to disturb me
on my own ground?"
The robbers looked scared, for an
eastern brigand is always inclined ia
be afraid of any man who does not
seem at all afraid of him. But their
chief thought of the buried money and
plucked up courage.
"Art thou the western enchanter?'
asked he.
Il am" said the professor, sternly
"and | know well why We come. You
wish to seize me and make me bring
gold out of the earth for you; but
fear not"
The brigands eyed each other in dis
may. Who was this man. who coult
read their secret thoughts? And whc

But, scared though they were, they
could not give up their hopes of plum

"The wise man hath said: 'Worde
are but dried leaves, deeds are fruit, "
replied the chief. what proof dost
thou give us that thou art an en-

swered the robber.
81 can" rejoined the professor, SOL
EMMY, "and thou thyself shalt see it.
Behold"
So saying, he wound up his musical
box under cover of the skirt of his
loose robe, and then, feigning to pick
up stone, he placed the box-whose
gritty surface made it look exactly like
one-on the bowlder beside him and
called out to it:
"Give forth music!'
The first notes of "Die Yacht am
Rhein" had scarcely floated on the air
when they were drowned by howl OF
dismay from the robbers, who turned
and fed as if lion were chasing them
One let fall his gun; another broke his
head against a rock; a third fell
sprawling into ditch; fourth upset
one of his flying comrades and tumbled
over him. Never was there a more com.

Altenstein remained in that part of the
country no one ventured to modest him
any more.-Goldep DAYS.

Do all people who wish you good morn
ing really hope for you'a happy day
Do all people who shake hands love
each other? Are all those anxious
<about your health who inquire con-
corning it? Do all want to see you who
ask you 10 call? Does all the world
know half as much as It pretends to
know? Is there not many wretched
stock of goods with brilliant show
window? Passing up and down the
streets to your business and your
work. are you not impressed with the
fact that society is hollow and that
there are subterfuges and pretensions?
Oh. how many there are who swagger
and strut and how few people who are
natural and walk! While tops shipper
and fools chuckle and simpletons gig
gle, how few people are natural and
laugh! The courtesan and the liber-
tine go down the street in beautiful
apparel. while within the heart there
are volcanoes of passion consuming
their life away. I say these things not
to create In you incredulity or misan-
thropy, nor do I forget there are thou
sands of people great deal better than
they seem, but do not think any man
is prepared for the conflict Of this life
until he knows this particular peril,
Ehud comes pretending to pay his tax
to King Eglon. and while he stands in
front of the king stabs him through

Christ.
Again, the street impresses me with
the fact that it is great field for
Christian charity. There are hunger
and suffering and want and wretched-
ness in the country, but these evils
chiefly congregate in our great cities.
On every street crime prowls and
drunkenness stsggers and shame
winks and pauperism thrusts out its
hand asking for aims. Here want is
most squalid and hunger is most lean.
