Cleveland Aids Convict.

PITTSBURG. May17.--Benjamin Schwartz.
alias B. ]. Meyer, left the Western peni-
Tertiary yesterday and took train for
Boston, paying his fare with money sent
him by former President Grover Cleveland
He had served a two-year term for forgery
committed in Erie, Pa
Some weeks ago Schwartz wrote to Grover
Cleveland. saying he was an employe In the
state capitol at Albany while Cleveland
was governor of New York He said he
desired to reform and had been promised
a good position in St. Louis, but when he
was released from the penitentiary he would
not have the carfare. He asked for loan.
Mr.. Cleveland wrote friend here to in
vestigate. and upon his report forwarded
SIS to Schwartz. When Schwartz was re-
leased he decided he did not want to
go to st. Louis, but took train for Bos-
ton Instead In addition to the SIS from
Mr.. Cleveland, Schwartz had $40. which is
given each prisoner upon release from the
penitentiary.
Schwartz is well educated. fluent talker
and is said to come from good New
York family.

That Recount Will Not Elect Hearst.
NEW YORK. May 17.-LAttle Tim Sulli-
van wants to bet $4,000 that Mayor Nc
Clellan has nothing to fear from the pass
age of the recount bill He made the offer
last night when he was asked how he
thought the Murphy members Of the legts-
lature would vote on the measure.
II haven't got the first line on what they
will do" he said, but 1t doesn't matter
what happens to the bill, because recount
won't put Mcclellan out. No matter what
the Hearst crowd say the election was
straight one, and will bet 10000 in cash,
even, that recount will not show varia-
ton Of 500 votes from the official returns.
II any one cares to take up that bet will
have the money on hand tomorrow at the
city hail."
A $4,000 bet between Little Tim and
Hearst on the result Of the recount might
add very much to the public interest In the
outcome of the course OF the measure In
the Legislature.
Besides that 1t would swell the fund of
the department OF charities by 100000, as
soon as the corporation counsel had re-
covered FIVE times the amount from the
winner and five times the amount from
the loser in civil suits under that famous
section 341 OF the penal code.
