STOLE $27,000 FROM A BANK,

-1 Boot-Keeper's Arrest for & Big Theft-IIow He Tried to Account for His Sudden Wealth. "Wiikelino, W. Va.. Aug. 2. There was a ) big sensation in the city this morning when 5t became known that Harry Seybold, a very popular yonng man, tho individual '"book-keeper of tho Bank of Wheeling, had E been arrested at his home on tho South I Side, about midnight last night, for era-' bezzling $27,000 from the bank. On the 10th Uf April a package containing $27,000 was , deposited in tbo bank by a prominent busii ec5S man, and w as placed in the vault to I b counted after business hours. After the I bank had closed Mr. List went to get the package, and found it missing. The abI gence of the package was kept quiet for tho ; time being, as it appeared evjdent that 1 some employe had taken it. Mr. Harry Fey bold was fonnd to be spending money : Tery freely, and as his account at the bank i -was not tonched and bis salary had not i been drawn for months, suspicion at once I rested on him. The bank officials called r Capt. B. B. Dovener into the case. Seybold had reported to his friends that he ; bad lately drawn $15,000 in the Louisiana I lottery. Captain Dovener left for New Orf ieaus and found this to be nntrue. . It was determined to arrest Seybold on ; iaiSipicion. and at midnight last night tlio briti arrested Liiu at his home. He . fvas taken before Justice Arklo and Larged with theft. At first Seybold denied the charge, but after : closo examination by Dovener, he tiuaily confessed to bavins taken the iuoney. The money was kept at his home for a month, f -rvhon about 20.000 was deposited in dif--ierent banks in the city. The . balance wiw I invested in fetock companies. Seybolti f turned over certificates of deposit and real I estate and personal property to the amount of g.O0O, which will entirely cover tho Joss, llo was committed to jail without bail, and will be held for trial to-morrow mornj ing. Seybold had part of tho funds de- ' posited nnder tho name of Seybold and - lleunig. which led the bank otlicials to ? think that Mr. George Hennig. another prominent young man of this city, and an intimate friend of Seybold, was indirectly connected with the theft. He was promptly arrested and taken before Justice Arkle, . when it was learned that Seybold had merely used Heiniig's name without authority. 3Ir. Hennig is in no way conjiectwl with tho Bank of Wheeling. Mr. heyhold's fither, a prominent citizen of : many years' standing, is tho cashier.of tho f bank, and only learned of his sou'm guilt ; thib morning, from his son's wife, who, crazed with grief, went to her father-in-; law's home about 5 a. m and told him of the arrest and confession. Harry Seybold ; Las been in the employ of the bank for tho -past seven years, and his books have always been found correct at each examinai tion. He cave as reason for taking tho ; package, that the temptation was too strong. Harry Seybold. the bank robber, was-re-: lease! on bail this afternoon, his father giving the necessary security. The total amount of &ejbold' stealings was $C3,700. DAILY WKATHKIt BULLETIN. Local Forecasts. For Indianapolis and Vicinity For tho Twenty-four Hours Fading 8 r. m., Aug. Z Fair weather.

Tho first Friday in August is Known among the bovs that frequent tho rnrer front as "launching day." For more taan a generation.it has been a custom of xne boys on that day to engage in a promisfnons dncking of one another from the Jjers.

It will probably causo xne police to break up the practice. ' 9 The Alleged Misuse of Creek Funds. Muskogek. Ind. T.. Aug. 2.

Niagara Falls torrent bv putting in a demand for tho prize. As tho money was never paid in, the demand for tho prize created some consternation. Palmer's plan is simply a machine consisting of an endless steel belt, which, when set crosswise to the current, exerts a resistless power. Tho model, a small machine, made ono-horso nower to-day in the slow current opposite Black Rock. Palmer probably will not get a bogus prize, but he has interested some capitalists in his scheme.

THE SEAL FISHERIES.

The Right of the United States to Maintain Jurisdiction Over Uchrlng Sea. Baltimore American. The Canadians will soon know how it is themselves. Under the Cleveland admin istration they were allowed to seize American fishintr vqa1 nt. will, nnd insult the captains and crews, because Mr. Cleveland alleged ho had not the means ot enective retaliation, though he made no use of it when Congress gave him carte blanche; but, through some mysterions instructions of the State Department, British and Canadian sealers were allowed to trespass in Alaskan waters, and bag all the game they could nnd. With the advent of a Republican administration tho Canadians ma terially modified their policy on the eastern side of the continent. They have been very careful how they; tackled American vessels, showincr nlainlv that they know when it is expedient to bully and when not. Tho wretched precedent established hy Mr. Bayard in Alaskan waters was an invitation to foreign sealers to visit them, and they are alleged to have done so in numbers. President Harrison, at the opening of tho season, issued a proclamation warning all concerned not to violate the laws in Alaska, but this may have been regarded by the marauders as akin to tho bluster of Cleveland. If 60, their eyea have, been rudely opened. I here can be no question of the sound ness of the government's position. The United States m purchasing Alaska bought all tho rights of Russia, and one of these was exclusive jurisdiction over Behring eea, which Russia had exercised uninterruptedly for many years. Whether this right conflicts with the views of some other powers or not, it has been distinctly recog nized by the statutes of the United State?, and until surrendered by a treaty with other countries, it is tne bounden dntv of every administration to maintain it. But thero is a strong practical reason for jealously guarding this right at this time. Other countries have aoknowled the value of the seal fish eries and their need of protection, especial ly ironi marauders in liehring sea, ureal Britain anion ir the number, but the latter. when appealed to to enter into a friendly agreement, declined for reasons best known to herself, and threw the responsibility upon the United States. It is generally conceded that if vessels are allowed to tako these animals in tho open sea there will soon be an end to the fisheries, which constitute tho principal value of our Alaskan possessions. It is therefore an act ot self-preservation for the government to do as it is now doing, and the bluster and rage of Canada will be useless. Our own people are mado to observe the law. and the Canadians will fare no Oetter, nor will they improve their case by making a great to-do about it. The United States, under Repub lican rule, is not to be bullied, but will always be ready to discuss fairly any ques tion at issue with a foreign government. provided the latter hrst shows due respect to existing laws. So long as British or any other vessels aro converted into poachers within our waters they will bo treated as poachers and not allowed, as they were a year ago, to break the laws under the very noses of united btates officers. ran vooiuiEEs emeus. Dow D&nlcl'n Pvantankeroui Tirade Is Viewed at tho National Capital. Washlnscton Press. A Democratic cirens. under the name of Tariff-reform Picnic." was held at the town of Bloomfield. in the county of Greene, and State of Indiana, on Saturday, the 27th ultimo. It was a largo gathering of the un tern tied." We will not say that the "unwashed" were there in lanro numbers, for wo aro not sure on that point, but the statistics of the soap trade do not 6how a heavy consumption of that commodity in such counties as Greene, Sullivan, Daviess, Dubois and Martin the counties that re cruited the ranks of the 'Sons of Liberty." or "Knights of tho Golden Circle' in the days of our great upheaval. The reason why this cirens or picnic occurred at the time and place hereinbefore mentioned re sides in the fact that Isaao P. Gray, the , prince of demacoenes. is pushmtr ior the seat occupied by Daniel W. Voorhees in the Senate of the United States.-- Now, it does not occur to our garrulous friend, D. V . V ., At i . 1 .1 I! ..i! i ,J. tnat lie is unuer any ouugauons to lot slippery Isaac into that seat without an effort to hold on to it. Naturally enough D. W. V. remembers that during tho war, and for years after the war, Isaao was a most can- . . . 11 . iV . II. tanKerousiy oiiensivo partisan on mo republican side, and that ne did not cross the line and march into tho Democratic camp until 1S72, when he had been turned down bv the Republicans at a State convention at whose hands he had sought the gubernato rial nomination. With his thirty-five years of public life as a Democrat, with his record of victories and service, D. W. V. feels that he has no call to clear the track and keep out of the way of the renegado Gray. Therefore D. W. V. goes to circuses and picnics, and talks to the mossbacks, just as ho used to do mi his congressional races of other davs. This year Mr. Voorhees is a free-trader, and will deliver no protection speeches, unless his Atlanta friends insist on having another one as good as the last. His speech of last Saturday was a roaring. ranting, rabble-rousing tirade. Of course, Mr. Voorhees did not mean to hit his friends, but he reallv did lav it on to tho jackets of the Befmonts, Brices, Paynes, Whitneys, Scotts, etc., etc, when he said: Money piled up mountains hlh In tbe hands of monopolies, corporations, trusts, aLd nnder tne control or tnope wno no not neneve in tne principles of self-poveminent or the rule of the plain people, is indeed, at this crisis of American history, the root of all evil, and it will destroy the American republic xrom turret to ioundationstono unless the people in their mi gat and power, while it is not yet too late, arise and take tho satanio spirit of plutocracy by the throat, stran gle It to death, and deliver tne country from its dangerous presence and accursed power. We should liko to emote further from that remarkable speech, but this will do for one day. It strikes us that a eatanio spirit" that can be "taken by the throat and stranclad to death" is a good deal like flesh and blood very much like the magnates of the Standard Oil combination. TARIFF OR INTERNAL TAXES. A Time for the American Feople to Deter mine "Which They Prefer. New York Sun. It is sometimes argued that free trade is impossible in this country, because tho support of tho government, the maintenance of the army aud navy, the payment of the public debt, and the payment of pensions require annually a great sum of money: and this money, it has been fancied, can only be provided by duties on imports or by direct taxation levied upon the sovefal States. This view of the question is mistaken. It is perfectly easy to provide the necessary revenuet by means of that system known as the internal-revenue system, with which we have become familiar during the last twenty-five j ears. It is, properly speaking, an excise system, and it can easily be made to produce all tho revenue that is necessary lor the needs of the government, economically administered. Thus all duties upon foreign importations may at once be abolished, and tne United States may be brought to tho enjoyment of perfect free trade with all foreign nations whatever. The custom-houses may be shut up. and every product of every other country may be admitted frco of duty. It is lor the people to detcrmino which of these two sj'sterus they will have. If they wish for free trade, they can repeal the tariff and rely upon the internal revenue; and, as wo have said, it can easily supply all tho needs of the government. If they do not wish for free trade, then they will bo obliged either to abolish the internal-revenue system and to agreo with Thomas Jefferson that it is an infernal system; or elso they will have to reduce it so greatly that its abolition will no a question of comparative unimportance. Free trade is now within the reach of the American people if they desire it Do they? ni2 SMOKED HIS SrOUSE. Original Method or Torture Applied by a Tennesteean to lilt Wife. Memphis Avalanche. John Council, an able-bodied citizen of Raleigh, was sent to pail yesterday by Jude Du Rose for abusing his wife, "Connell is supposed to be crazy. Mrs. Conneli stated in court that her husband's sole aim in life was to invent new and original modes of punishment for her. lie tried knocking her down and walking on her, slapping, pinching, biting and kicking her until each grew monotonous; then he corked up the chimney, and, after hermetically sealing the windows, closed and locked the door from tho outside, leaving the partner of his joys inside to breathe smoke until

hewas nearly suffocated.' He sat out In the yard on a saw buck while the smoking process was going on, and delivered a lecture to an imaginary audience on tho hygienic properties of smoke properly administered. On another occasion, Mrs. Conneli said, her husband nailed up all the entrances to the yard and forbade her leaving the place or allowing anybody to come in. Conneli denied the truth of his wife's statements, and painted her as an overbearing spouse, who delighted in nothing 60 much as trampling on the dearest rights aud teuderest feelings of her husband. "Are you crazy, Mr. Connellf" asked attorney John T. Sloss. "Well replied Conneli, weighing his words in a judicial manner, T ain't got all the sense there is goin but I can gallop "with most people. I've been sent to tne insane asylum three times, but it wasn't for bein crazy. I was just a Rttle touched by the sun." Conneli was remanded to jail to await the action of the grand jury on his case. If indicted his attorney will enter a plea of present insanity, and a jury of inquiry will examine him. If pronounced msaue he will be sent to the asylum. e -The Murphy and Prohibition. To the EUtor ot the Indianapolis Journal: As there is no question now occupying so much of the time and eliciting so much of the thought of the American people as the growing evils of drunkenness, and how best to cure or prevent them, I am sure you will allow a little space in your paper for a candid statement of tho difference between the Murphy methods and the methods of thoso who be

lieve in and labor for tion, taking Mr. Murphy's prohibit carefullyworded statement in the Journal of Aug. 2, representing his views. First, let me say that much is common ground. There is no dispute as to the evils of drunkenoss, and Mr. Murphy will find no Christian who will dissent from his strong statements as to the sufficiency of divine grace to sustain and keep tho reformed man who implicitly trusts in it, and obeys tho divine commands. Nor will he ever find a Chistian who is unwilling to imitate the Savior in his tenderness toward tho sinful woman or tho miserable demoniac, and it 6macks largely of an unkind spirit to call those Pharisees who ask for legal protection against those who lie in wait to destroy not only thoso who have fled for refuge to tho eternal rock, but to inveigle childhood into their dlded dens of death. The Murphys have bad too much cordial co-operation of Christian ministers of every faith and order in thoir praiseworthy work to induce men to quit their cups, and become Christians in heart and life, to be ignorant of their views on this subject. And now, because they hie away to new . - i , ... ii j urxus 10 inuuce less man one in a tuousanu of the drunkards of any city to take tho filedge of total abstinence, and these pasors remain to nurture as best they may the few "babes in Christ" whom they havo loft to their care, and they see the unhurt saloon as rampant as ever, and they labor to havo it suppressed, it comes with poor prace from the Murphys to call those men Pharisees, and piously say, "There is no sonl in legislative enactments to save men.r Perhaps if the Murphys were to settle down to the humdrum autics of a pastor, to look after these lambs, and find them one by one straying into the protected saloon, they, too, might be willing to invoko the strong arm of tho law, not to convert men, but to remove, as far as possible, tho temptation to sin, as we invoke it, to suppress obscene literature, the gambling tabio, lottery otlice, and brazen prostitution. All these breed swarms of Pharisees, just as prohibitory laws do, for xnen go on" reading obscene literature, playing cards, buying lottery tickets and frequenting brothels "in a covert, sneaking and un lawful way, because they cannot go in openly and at the front door." It is unworthy tho Murphys to use such an argument against prohibition. It is the twaddle of .the saloon, and they cannot aftbrdtoally 'themselves with the saloon, although the saloon is one of their best friends. Apropos to this, were it not so delicate a matter, a scoro or more names could be given of those who, only a few months ago, were "clothed and in their right mind" through the Murphy movement here, aided by nearly every pastor in ethe city, and at a greater pecuniary cost than all the prohibitory movements in the city for a year, who have gone deeper into dissipation than ever, blasting the last hope of fond parents and loving wives. Some of these cases are exceptionally sad, yet ever.v one of them fell through the instrumentality of the saloon. It is not overstating tho truth of history to say that even during the Murphy meetings not tho least perceptible impression was mado on the saloon business, nor has there been since. No one rejoices more than the Prohibitionist in the fact that probably forty or fifty reformed men yet remain true to their pledge. What may be their number a few years hence, if the open saloon remains, may be inferred from the result of the ribbon movement of some ten years ago, of which in ever essential feature, the late Murphy meeting was a duplicate, denouncing prohibition and all: though that out-numbered this in tho number of its reformed men, Not a dozen of those can now be fouud, and everyone of these was long ago cured of his anti-prohibitionism. The Prohibitionists hold much in common with the Murphys. They believe in the gospel of love. They believe in the power of grace to make new creatures out of old drunkards, and they preach it as earnestly as the Murphys ever did, but they believe also in the power of law, and they would apply it to saloons the same as to brothels and gambling-houses, and to the makers of counterfeit coin and -their implements. While God pronounces a woe against the man who puts the bottle to his neighbor's lips, they will not pronounce a blessing nor be indifferent to his sin against God and man. One thing in tho Murphys is to be commendedthe boldness with which they -pronounce those preachers Pharasees who help them in their work, and without whose co-operation they could not muster a corporal's guard any place. That the saloon and saloon politicians are quoting them as authority against prohibition is painfnlly true, but prohibition is gaining strength every day, and our laws will be consistent some day. for they will class the making of drunkards with other crimes to be forbidden, not licensed. And now may I not propose a truce? We Prohibitionists will not assail tho Murphys in their special field, but will continue to help them. It is with some of us an old familiar work. We wero at it when the senior Murphy was a sweet, sober Irish boy. tho pride of his fond mother, and with marked success, and we havo never ceased that wort, though we havt taken on the work of prohibiting tho destroyer of our hopes. It we now devote more time and thought to this than to that, it is because we have Been' how profitless all reformations are while the i saloon is replenishing the ranks of drunk enness trom onr own lamine, as wen as from our reformed men. All that we ask in return is that, unless they think the cause of God requires it. they let us alone. If they can help us we will bo glad, but, if not, can they not at least cease to callus Pharisees and hypocrites, and to repeat the thread-bare arguments of the saloon in tho face of well-authenticated facts!
