LONDON, March 25.-One Of the last acts
Of Henry Clay Evans as Consul General at
London was the hunting down Of the inn
poster Walden, who swindled credulous
foreigners by bogus sales Of Anne lean
appointments. Mr.. Evans discovered that
advertisements were appearing in Berlin
and Hamburg newspapers Offering an
American consulate for sale Applicants
were told to apply at the London address
Of the advertiser.
Mr.. Evans's agents went to this place
and we're confronted by a woman who said
that Walden was out Of town. He had an
American consulate to sell, she stated, and
she would forward any letters on the subject
to him The woman's suspicious were
apparently aroused, as the letters which
were written to Walden brought no replies
Mr.. Evans then reported the matter to
Scotland Yard, and Walden was located in
Berlin. The American Consulate there
got into communication with him, but
Walden evidently smeled a rat. He
declared that he was selling a Guatemalan
consulate in Germany for $500 marks.
The Berlin police then arrested him on a
charge Of fraud.
Walden In a German. He was once a
resident Of New York and was known as
a promoter Of bunoo schemes, such as
selling American scientific diplomas, Cont
mental titles, &C.
The New York police do not know Walden

1T had been apparent that the end

due largely to the Infirmaties Of old

Leroy Newman was born in

more active years Of his life was
one of the foremost men of affairs

Died in the Poor House,

Mrs. Grace Carleton, widow of
the late William Carleton, died at
the county Iptirmary, recently, aged
rs years. Hers is most pathetic
case. She was born in Ireland, and
In her younger days was the belle of
Meigs County. Herself and hus-
band owned one of the finest farms
in Bedford township, came to church
at Pomeroy in a 5000 carriage and
were worth 100000. They built
the Carleton church at Kingsbury,
which was destroyed by fire a few
years ago, and presented it to the
public. Mr.. Carleton died about
80 years ago, and since then Mrs.
Carleton's fortune has slipped away
from her In one way and another,
until she had to spend the last two
years of her life as a county charge
She was industrious and frugal, but
that did not save ber from the in
stitution which we all dread so
much. The remains were taken to
Kingsbury for burial. - Pomeroy

ON The BRINK OF A PREClPlCt
The Passengers and Train We're
Saved From Death and De-
StruCtlOn.

On Monday, August 2Sth, the
passengers and crew of Is. IL ..
train No. 700 had narrow escape
from death and which will no doubt
be long remembered by them. \
young man who vas en- route TO
Cincinnati, boarded a freight train
at Parkersburg, but was soon dis.
covered by the crew and elected
thereirom. He then concluded TO
walk to Raveuswood where he
thought his hopes would not be
banished, as before. Upon arriv-
ing near Washington, miles this
side of Parkersburg, he discovered
a large trestle in flames. FORGET
ting tor the time his previous eiec-
ton from one of the company's
trains, and thinking only of the
peril in which the passengers and
crew were in, the lad ran up the
track and tagged the tram, which
was then splitting space at the rate
of 90 miles an hour. The iron
monster, together with the coaches
loaded with human freight, was
brought to stop within few feet
of the brink of the precipice.
A collection amounting TO $500
was taken among the passengers and
given the young man. The compa-
ny sent him to Parkersburg, but in
what manner he was rewarded by
the officials we were unable to as
certain; suffice to say, however, he
did not walk or ride a freight to the
Queen City.

CLEVER FRAUD
In tn, United States MONEY Order Bust
ness is Being Worked All Over This
State By Two Young Men.

".All over the state at the various
postoilices two young men are working
a clever game to defraud the money or
der department of poseofIiees," said E.
]. Allen, Postofice Inspector. to a ne,
porter yesterday.
"Thsy purchase money orders for so
cents or other small amounts, nave the
orders forwarded in the name of one or
the other of tnem to a nearby pastoffice,
and then raise the amounts TO in cases
as high as forty or fifty dollars.
"There are several postoffices in the
state which have been defrauded and
have been notified, but when l ar
rived l would find that the young men
have gone on. Nearly all of the posi-
masters now have description of
them ami as soon as they appear again
there is a pretty fair chance mat they
win be in the tolls. The only trouble
is that it is hardly probable they will
show up again."
Captain Allen said That the system
they employed was to remove the ink
from the face of the money orders with
acid without in any way defacing the
order Then any sum can be written
in ths order. lie declared that it would
seem almost impossible that crime as
hold as the one ne described couh be
worked but says it mas been carried on
with marked success by the two in
Idiyiduals.
