FLEECED MANY
WEALTHY MEN.
New York Band of Black
mailers Posed as Nj
hilists.
THEIR ARREST N ADE.
Member Of the Gang Reveals
One of the Boldest Schemes
For EXtortion Ever Known

| NEW YORK, Nov. 15-As result
OF the arrest of William Becker, 9
ships carpenter on board the steam
ship Amerlcus, accused Of being one OF
the Russian nihilists" who for weeks
have annoyed prominent millionairee
and bankers in this and other cities by
writing threatening letters, the police
have extorted confession that has
| Iut them on the trail of the boldest
gang of blackmailers that ever operat.
| ed in this country.
The man Becker, who is not nihi-
list, made confession, in which he i'm
plicated five men and gave their
names. Scores of detectives have been
turned loose from police headquarters
and are now securing this and adjoin-
ing cities in search Of the leaders of
this band.
At first the police thought that the
writer's Of supposed nihilistlc letters to
j. =. Morgan, John W. Gates and other
mlllionaires were written by come mad
cranks, but from the startling revela-
tions made by the prisoner Baker they
have learned that the writers of these
letters are some of the most famous
criminals in the United States and that
they have been operating successfully
and collecting fortunes in blackmail
for months.
Had these men been content to con-
fine themselves to the smaller fry,
whom they frightened with their blood
curdling epstlcs into turning over
small sums of money, they might have
continued their Vaccinations indeh-
nitely; but, Cnboldened by their sue
cess, they thought that they could
frighten such men as Morgan the Van
derbilts and John W. Gates into dis
gorgng to them great sums.
All of the letters which are now in
the hands of the police are signed with
five names, purporting to be the sigma
lures of desperate Russian nihilists.
They are fictitious, and the real names
of the leaders cf the gang are now in
the possession OF the police.
According to the confession made by
this man Becker. the gang has operar-
ed in most all Of the large cities of the
Union, and til" police here have now
corroboration of this statement in let
ters received from many cities in the
country.
Death or lifelong insanity through
the agency Of n subtle poison WAS the
penalty named in their matchmaking
letters for failure to send $1,000 to &c.

Office Of president of Swarthmore col

inaugural ceremonies were witnessed
by delegates from 120 institutions of

cl!ned to accept the presidency of the

THE MARSHALSHIP.
Probably That New official VIII Not b
Named For several Months.

The matter Of tive appoint ment OF
successor to United States Marshal
Short is causing considerable talk. By
scmc persons II Is deemed best not to
have the appointment made until af.
ter the session of the Legislature.
In addition to Deputy Marshal
the new marshal will have the ap-
polntmcnl Of clerk The latter
position pays $1,000 year. For the
past three terms Deputy Clerk Of the
United States Court William G. Ma
hatfy has been the Marshal's CLERK.
There is no obligation on the Marshal
to re-appoint Mr.. Mahatfy. AS the
latter is now acting as Clerk Of the
Court therefore u clerk is likely
to be appointed by the new mar
shal.
There are several persons who
would like to be Deputy Marshal.
Colonel Barnard will be the SUCCESSOR
to Marshal Short unless Il certain

BOSTON BANK CLOSED,
Failure of Central National Causes Onl,
Slight Furry.

BOSTON, Nov. 15.-The Central Ma.
tional, small institution compared
with many other city banks, has closed
its doors by reason Of an order from
the comptroller of the currency, who
has placed National Bank Examiner
w. L. Neal over it as temporary re-
celvcr. Impaired assets is given as the
reason for the failure, and the bank is
closed for good.
The incident did not produce any fur
ry in financial circles. as the closing of
the bank through liquidation by the
Eliot National bank was looked for,
and such action it was supposed had
commenced
The incident which precipitated the
failure was the rejection of a consiG-
cradle portion of the Central bank s
assets by President Burrage of the FL
lot. bank, who was scrutiniZing them
preparatory to taking the bank for Ii
quidaton. Another portion Of the as
sets was known 10 have been accepta-
BILE, and the action Of President Bur-
rage and the Eliot bank directorate in
refusing to liquidatc the bank was un-
expected Wednesday sales Of the Cen
trails stock dropped $l5 from par, and
Thursday depositors withdrew some
thing like $2OO0,0OO
Later the clearing house declined to
aid the bank, and certified checks on
the bank were refused acceptance by
other banks. Preparations were at once
made to place a receiver in charge of
the bank.
Many banks came to the relief of the
Centrals deposilors, the National
Shawmut Offering to advance so per
cent of their deposits. 9irector Moses
W. Richardson Of the bank says that
depositors probably will be paid in full,
and while the stockholders may be
called upon for quick assessment in
the end they will lose nothing. Officers
of other banks are Of the opinion that
the Central's failure will not be no.

doing trem ndous damage. The crops
differed severely and there were num-
erous washouts on the railroads The

southwestern part of the state the
storm assumed the proportions of a

southern portion of the city is flooded.
Several factories on the bank of the
river are submerged. The Flint river is
also out of it's banks and the Lewis
paper mill is under water and is in dam
