A PLAUSIBLE OLD SWINDLER. The Story Told by Frederick Dalton, Who Has Been Beating; His Way. “Sir, will you please tell me wnere I may find the Journal office?” asked a highly respectable looking old gentleman of a Journal attache, who was himself wending his way toward the office last evening with feelings of charity for all the world. The speaker had the appearance and manner of a man anxious to invest several hundred dollars lu a first-page advertisement, and actuated by kinc.iest feelings toward the benevolent gentleman who distributes salary on Monday,the reporter generously offered to guide this inquirer. “You want to find the counting-room, I suppose!” asked the young man, with lus best flf-teeu-cent, two-for-a-quarter smile. “Yes, sir, the counting-room, if you please; and, also, I want to see the foremen of the newsroom.” It was all quite plain. The highly respect-able-looking old gentleman surely wanted all of the first page, and desired to give the foreman some instructions in regard to the style of the advertisement. Explaining that he would he pleased to show him the way to the office—it would be no trouble, as he was going directly there—the Journal youth assumed his most bewitching manner, and the two walked on together. “Are you connected with the paper!” asked the h. r. o. g., and the young man biushingly confessed that he was au appendage to the imaginative department, his special duty being to write up dog-fights and report Council meetings. As confidence begets confidence, the highly respectable old gentleman was placed under the painful constraint of confessing something, and, turning abruptly around, said, with flattering familiarity: “Young man, I guess there is no need of me going any further. I am a newspaper man. too. I have been in the business eighteen years, owned a paper in Illinois, was postmaster for several years, and ain now en route to Cincinnati to take an editorial position on the Commercial Gazette. While on my way from Bt. Louis I was robbed of my gold watch, chain, diamond pin, and all my money, and I am here, penniless, alone, unfriended, in a strange city, and unable to proceed to my destination. I know no man from Indianapolis, except Senator Harrison, who is not now in the city. Arriving here last night, I walked the streets all night and all day. I have had nothing to eat now for fortyeight hours, and meeting you here—little I thought I would ever be brought to the level of a street beggar—l yield to pride, and ask of you a favor. 1 need just $1.25 to get to Cincinnati— I want no more than I actually require to carrv me there—and if you will kindly loan me that araouut I will return it. My name is Frederick Dalton.” It was a most pitiable case of fallen greatness. For eighteen years a.lournalist of prominence, a leader in politics, a State senator, and made a wanderer in the streets of a strange city by a villainous robbery, while the great consolidated newspaper—the talk of the country—was anxiously awaiting his arrival to take Ills place on the staff, little thinking that he had fallen on the wayside a victim to misfortune. It was pathetic, indeed. Os course the humble reporter would give him the assistance, and would be glad to have the privilege. Further mention of the matter was unnecessary, and Mr. Dalton was asked to call at the editorial rooms instead of stopping at the counting-room, lie expressed a pleasure in having an opportunity to meet the various luminaries of the Journal, but trusted that no mention of his misfortune would be made, as it was exceedingly embarrassing. After sitting for a moment the unfortunate journalist asked for the foreman of the newsroom, explaining that early in his career he had learned the "art preservative of all arts,” and that there was a fraternal tie between him and all members of the craft. The foreman was called through the speaking tube, and was introduced to Mr. Dalton. Anybody that has been about a newspaper office longer than two hours knows that if there is any charity in the soul of a foreman It is not likely to manifest itself in any passionate outbursts. “You were once a postmaster in Illinois, were you not, Mr. Dalton!” asked the foreman, looking over his spectacles. • Yes, sir,” was tho reply. “And you were lu the State Senate for quite a while, I believe!” “Yes sir.” “And your name is Frederick Dalton!” “Yes, sir,” and Mr. Dalton remarked that tho foreman seemed quite familiar with a part of his history, following up the observation with an explanation of the embarrassing circumstances under which he had arrived in Indianapolis. The foreman abruptly left the room, excusing himself for a moment, and the unsuspecting reporter was called up-stairs shortly afterward. It developed that the foreman, with a careful eye to dead beatisra, had heard of Mr. Dalton telling the same story of his misfortunes to Rev. Myron W. Reed, and getting $1.25 on the strength of it, a day or two before. When the reporter returned to the editorial room he mentioned to Mr. Dalton,in the course of conversation, that Rev. Mvron W. Reed was upstairs, reading the proof of a sermon which would appear in the morning paper, and that the foreman had incidentally mentioned his name to him; Mr. Reed would be down in a few moments, and would be pleased to make his acquaintance. The countenance of the highly-respc or able old gentleman and unfortunate iournalist assumed a somewhat agitated expression. “If I should return In a moment, I could see Mr. Reed, I suppose!” ho asked, starting toward the dooi. “Oh, yes, in half an hour. He will be down by that time.” “I suppose I could see Mr. Reed at church, could I not!” he inquired, after getting outside the door. “Yes, if you prefer.” And the rapidity with which Mr. Dalton descended the three flights of stairs was rather remarkable for a niau of sixty years. There are probably many people in Indianapolis who have met him. It may ba explained, however, that he failed to call lor Mr. Reed at church last evening.

The Express Robbery. Nothing new has beeu developed in the express robbery case. A Journal reporter called upon Mr. A. D. Lynch, of the First National Bank, after his return from M uncle, but he is as much in the dark as ever. It is quite apparent that the package left this city ititaor, no possible opportunity of tampering with it occurring in the bank here, and it having lain in the express office at the depot but a half hour. It is also quite evident that the original package was removed entirely and anothor substituted, from the fact that there was no appearance of disturbed seals ou the package received at Muncie. The agent at the latter place bears the highest eputatfou for integrity and uprightness, aud

The return of Mrs. Enrique Miller to this citv from New York, where she has been studyingmusic during the past few months, is hailed with much satisfaction by her many friends. Mrs. Miller possesses an exceptionally fine voice, and executes with great, taste and skill, her pronunciation being not the least of the essential qualifications as a good singer. Mrs. Miller sang In the First Presbyterian Church choir yesterday to the great delight of everybody. “Jesus, lover of my soul,” as sang by her last night, was the gospel in all all its sweetness aud fullness. The Lansing (Mich.) Republican gives the following account of the marriage of Mr. William K. Prudeu, sou of Mrs. James B. Black, of this oily, and well known in society circles here: “On Tuesday evening a largo audience gathered at St. Paul’s Church to witness the nuptials of William K. Pruden aud Miss Jennie E. Whitney, two of Lansing's most prominent young people. At 7.30 o'clock the organ pealed forth the wedding chorus march, and the bridal party, headed by C. W. Holden, master of ceremonies, and 11. Cassey and J. E. Row, ushers, marched to the altar in the following order: Rev. aud Mrs. T. P. Prudden, Mr. aud Mrs. James M. Turner, Colonel Black and wife, of Indianapolis, Mrs. Dodge, of Ypsilanti, Mrs. Bennett, of Jacksou, and Mrs. C. J. Whitney and son Louis. The bridesmaids were Misses Reta Dodge, of Ypsilanti and Miss Katie Latimer, or Lansing. They were followed by the bride accompanied by her father. At the altar the bride was met by the groom, and the marriage was solemnized by Bishop Harris, of Detroit, assisted by Rev. Ebenezer Thompson, pastor of St. Paul’s Church. The church was handsomely decorated with evergreens and flowers. A recepttou was held at. the residence of the bride’s father, on Seymour street, from 8 to 10 o'clock, the parlors being elaborately trimmed. At 9:30 tlie guests adjourned to the dining-room and discussed a most elaborate spread of eatables. The presents were costly and elegant, including an elegant set of diamonds, full sets of silverware, pictures, bronzes, books of poetry, prose aud history, hand-em-broidered table scarfs, and bric-a-brao.

C. C. Riley Accused of Swindling. It is charged that Clinton C. Riley, a wellknown politician, who was formerly secretary of the Reputdicau State central committee, and has been holding a $2,200 clerkship at Washington, has defrauded several persons out of money aud has lately disappeared, whither no one seems to know. It is alleged that he obtained several hundred dollars by false pretenses, obtaining from the Indianapolis National Bank, of this city, SIOO, and from Mayse & Cos., of Washington, D. C., $525. It is supposed that Riley is now in Albuquerque, N. M. f having abandoned his position at Washington. Last summer he drew S3OO for indexing the journals of the General Assembly of 1880, and never performed the work. His conduct in this matter subjected him to severe censure, but iie seems to nave become reckless. He had hundreds of friends in this State, and his downfall, with bright prospeots before him, will he surprising uews. Fast Gas Meters. Seven out of thirteen “fact." W. H.
