SwindIing Ex.SIayes.

One of the most despicable frauds
brought to the attention of the federal
officers in long time was the scheme
worked upon many innocent colored
people in the counties around Richm ond
by two pretended pension agents, now
under arrest They are Levi Sullivan
and Charles Ariau, who claim Rocking
ham county as their home. They were
arrested in Buckingham, their last place
of operation, Monday, and were ar
ragned before United States Commits
sioner Brady, 10 Richmond yesterday,
for impers,nating United States pension
agents. They have been driving through
the country since last November, telling
old negroes who are ex slaves that law
had been passed allowing them a pension
of SO month, and that all they had
to do was to ell up the blanks which
we're furnished and pay a fee OF 81.
Their victims are counted by the hum
dreds. and when arrested the men were
armed, had good deal of money and a
large number of blanks. Thd men are
now in Henrico Jail. Sullivan tried to
commit suicide in the Jail Yesterday
by taking large quantities OF opium.
He swallowed FIVE capsules containing
the drug, and had 20 more hidden about
him. The Jail physician was called in,
and. after drastic treatment, Sullivan
was declared out of danger.

Law Declared Constitutional.

Berea College, in Madisol county, Kyp
was yesterday fined 81, 900 in the State
Circuit Court for violation of the Day
act. This is the law passed by the Gen
eral Assembly of Kentucky at its last
session prohibiting the ceeducation OF
the white and colored races. While the
law is general 10 form it was aimed d.
rectly a. Berea College, which has for %
wears conducted school and college for
the education of all youth OF good moral
character. When the law was passed
the college authorities at once declared
their intention to abide by its provisions
pending decision as to its constitution
ality. In order TO raise the question
technical violation of the act was COM
mitted. and on such violation by consent
the college, as a corporation, was lndlct-
ed. The college demurred to the indict-
ment and the question of constitution
ality was thus raised. Briefs were filed
by both sides. and yesterday Judge Ben
ton averruled the demurrer and held the
law constitutional. The conviction and
fine followed, as the college made no de-
Tense as to the facts. The case will go at
once to the Court of Appeals of Ken
tucky, and should that court uphold the
decision rendered and declare the law
constitutional the case will be taken
to the Supreme Court of the United
States.

Hanna Elias May Keep Her Money

Hanna Elias May Keep Her Money.
Hannah Elias, whose sensational ar
rest, charged with extortion, on com
plant of the aged millionaire, John X.
Plstt. and her discharge, which was fol"
lowed by a civil suit by Platt to recover
$685.. 900, won the suit in New YORK
Yesterday. Justice 0'Gorman handed
down a decision in the afternoon ID
which he dismissed the suit, declaring
IN there was no evidence to support
the allegations of the aged plaintiff.
Platt alleged that the Ellis woman,
who is negro, had obtained the
money BY coercion and other improper
means. In his decision Justice O'Gor-
man said:
oThere has been no evidence to sub
stsntiate the allegation that Platt was
deprived of the money by threat OF
bodily harm or extortion. Nor is there
anv evidence to show that he was OF un-
sonnd mind. On the contrary, there is
evidence TO show that be parted with tie
money willingly, freely and voluntarily.
Fven had there been no other testimony
to this effect, Piatts own testimony
would have established the fact. The
suit is dismissed.
The Elias woman first cameinto prom
iuerce after the murder OF Andrew II.
Green. one of the best known citizens oi
New York. The negro who shot Mr..
Green to death misiook him for Plat,
whom he resembled only in appearance.
