MISSOURI A NEWS.
Arrested on Serious Charge.

M. S. Glenn, charged with using h
mails to defraud, vas arrested at
Mountain Grove by Deputy United
States Marshal w. H.. Thomas and
taken before United States Commits
sioner Pepperdine, of Springfield, to
answer to the charge. 1t is claimed that
two years ago, while Glenn was man
ager of the Missouri Blank Co., at
Mountain Grove, he sent circulars to
job printers in various parts OF the
state, claiming that he had bought No.
l envelopes in carload lots at very low
prices, and would sell them in lots o. l.
900 or more for so cents per 1000, cash.
AS this was less than half the regular
price, Glenn was Dor covered up with
cash orders. That would be the last
until the parties who had sent in Or
ders would get tired waiting and be-
gin writing him. then he would write
them offering various explanations for
the delay in the arrival of the goods.
This he kept up until the parties got
out of patience and began sending In
accounts for collection.

Death of n Veteran River Man.
The death of Capt. Martin Sweeney
at the Marine hospital, in st. Louis, re-
moved another OF the old river steam
boat men, a contemporary of Capt
Keith. who died just one week previ-
GUS. Capt. Sweeney obtained his title
from the mastership of the st. Louis
harborboat, which he commanded six
teen years Ago.. For four years he was
master of the city's harbor protector,
and then practically retired from the
service. He spent much of the time
with his sons, but some time ago he
expressed a desire to go to the Marine
hospital, where he spent the remainder
of his life. 1t was as a mate, rather
than a master, that Capt. Sweeney
made his reputation, for he believed
that to be the best mate on the Mis-
sissippi was more useful to his employ
ers than a captaincy. In this he sue
ceeded, and on the Illinois river, the
Tennessee and the Mississippi, he was
known as the most successful master
of men the river had ever known.
