SAYS HE WAS SWINDLED
NOVEL SUIT INSTITUTED BY A
PROMINENT NEW YORKER.

NEW YORK, March 15-Franz Mayer
a well known German resident of this
city, who owned a sign manufacturing
company, which he valued at S100. 600
says he has been swindled out Of # and
today caused the arrest of Hugh Mason
thirty-hve years OF age, and George w.
van Zand, fifty years of age, both OF
this city. Mayer and his lawyer allege
the men are members of Ellen Peck
gang. The men were held in $4,000 bail.
Mayer says he determined to organize
a stock company to take care of his
business, and his confidential clerk intro
duced him to Mason and Van Zand as
men who could buy stock in the COM
pany. He said he sold them SAG, 600 worth
of stock in exchange for deeds for 100
acres of coal and wood land on the Sandy
river in Kentucky. The men, he declares,
said the land was worth $4,000 Later
Mayer says he was introduced to Miss
Jessie Seal, ITO whom he says he gave
5000 shares of the stock in exchange for
mortgages on property near Atlantic
City, N. ]. Mayer said he was then yis-
tied by Ellen Peck, herself, and he de-
clares he gave her $4,000 shares of stock
for 5000 acres of grazing land in Bosqua
county, Tex.
Mayer says the others met after they
had taken his stock and voted him out
of the company. He says he found his
lands and deeds worth nothing whatever

ward to meet them.
PICTURESQUE SCENE.
The scene was picturesque in the ex-
treme. A few yards away the guns Of a
battery pointed their grim mouths toward
the late position of the Beers, while the
tin roofs Of Bloemfontein shone in the
distance.
After salutes had been exchanged, a.
member Of the deputation stepped for
ward and declared that the town wished
to surrender, hoping that Lord Roberts
would protect life and property He re-
piled that, provided there was no oppO-
sition, he would undertake to guarantee
the security of both. The interview was
very cordial, without sign Of solemn
ness. 1t struck the correspondent that
the deputation seemed relieved by the
presence Of the British troops. Lord Rob-
erts notified the deputation of his inten-
ton of entering the town in state and
they withdrew to inform the towuspe opie
Lord Roberts then made his military
dispositions, ordering the first brigade to
follow him and take possession of ths
town. With his staff and the military
attaches he descended the kopje and ar
rived on the plain, where he waited until
the cavalry approached. Then he entered
the city, followed by his personal staff,

President Mckinley Harshy Criticised in Lon
don Press for Suggesting Mediation

LONDON, March 16.-Events are NOV
ing in the South African campaign in a
speedy and satisfactory manner, from
both the military and political points Of
view. 1t could hardly have been expected
by the most sanguine Englishmen that
they would take turn so favorable.
1t appears that when Maj. Weston cut
the railway north of Bloemfontein he
thereby intercepted Gen. Joubert, who,
far from having retired from the cam
paign, was then coming southwark with
5000 men, presumably to superintend The
defense. Elaborate defense works three
miles long had been prepared outside the
town.
No Boer wounded were left IN Boem-
fontein. When asked the reason by Lord
Roberts, Mr.. Fraser replied:
The burghers don't like fish, and would
not care to go to Cape Town."
The evidence goes to show that, so far
as the southern part of the Free State is
concerned, there will be no further re-
sistance 1t is understood that Mr.. Fra
ser, Mr.. Vessels and other leaders are
quite prepared to accept the position of
a self-governing British colony

American newspaper, that the Beers Will

ground If necessary, is not taken very Sc
riously Mr. Chamberlain's statement
that President Kruger has already been
warned as to the consequences of such
conduct is regarded as showing that suf-
fcient precaution has been taken. The
Times suggests that the burghers should
be warned that their farms will be taxed
as a guarantee against any damage to
British property, but no serious appre-

The exchange, though pretending to be,
is not a corporation.
After stating that there are numerous
other men associated In the pretended
corporation besides the defendants named,
the complaint alleges that the real pur-
pose of that association is not only for
the mutual benefit of its members, but
that it exists for the purpose of prevent
ing competition, and for maintaining a
monopoly In the business of buying and
selling livestock on commission at the
Union stock yards.
II is alleged, although the expenses of
the corporation are only nominal, that
annual dues of $40 on each membership
certificate are now collected, and the fee
for membership has been increased from

today, practically unoppcsed. He lay at
Venters VIei, fourteen miles away, last
night, with Gen. kelly-Kenuy's and Gen.
Colvilles divisions, the guards brigade
and the mounted infantry.
Gen. French, having cut the railway
and telegraphs, experienced slight skis
mish with some Beers holding the kopjes
southeast of the town. Early in the
morning the cavalry brigade moved for
ward and occupied slowly several kopjes
which commanded the Beers.
