Overpayments on Pension Voucher. Wa-SItingtox, Bept. 14. An examination of the June accounts of the "Walhington city pension rr!CV-b v the TtnlK divlsfn-n of th Third ; Auditor's office, shows an overpayment of $2,100 on one voucher. A number of smaller overpayments have also been recently discovered In the accounts of other pension agencies. These errors are said to have resulted from an effort to in- . crease the work of the clerks beyond their capacity. The clerks are now reaulred to main tain an average of 1.000 vouchers a day. and It is "contended that the Interests of the government would be better protected If this average was vreiuced to 600 vouchers per day.

TRIED TO STEAL $7,000,000

Henry 8. Ives Charged with an Attempt to Kob the Estate of Christopher Meyer. He Is Alleged to Have Forged the Dead Man's Initials to & Document, and to Hare Boldly Committed Perjury in Court. New York, Sept. 14. The Evening Sun, in its last edition, prints a sensational story of the attempt to rob the estate of the late Christopher Meyer of $7,000,000 by means of forgery, and charges Henry S. Ives with the crime. The Sun says: Henry S. Ires, who has been so often and so truly referred to in these colums as the master thief, also ranks high among forgers. The narrative will show that he, by the forgery of two initials a"C" and an "M,"was in a fair way to obtain at least $100,000 in cold cash, and to open a till which contained something more than $7,000,000. Ives added to his previous crimes that of forgery, in the latter part of last December. This fact is published to-day, for the first time, and can be substantiated whenever it shall become necessary. The story which follows tells how Meyer was induced to lend money to Ives & Staynor, and how the discovery of their crimes finally drove him to his grave. The Sun then says that within three months after Meyer's death there was put into operation, through Ives's agency, a scheme to impoverish Meyer's estate, and to open up to himself and his confederates a mine of $7,000,000. In the fall of 1888 there was begun, in an Ohio court, a suit by Albert Ketter, against Henry S. Ives, George II. Staynor and the executors of the estate of Christopher Meyer, for the balance of the purchase money of his syndicate interest remaining unpaid. Voluminous depositions in that action were taken in this city during all last fall, but only the most meagre outline of the case was ever made public. No sooner, however, had the plaintill begun his case than the collusive character of the action was revealed. Ives& Staynor were nominally defendants, but thev were the principal witnesses whom the plain tiff called to prove his claim against themselves. Neither of them was solvent, and the manifest intention was to turn to the only responsible defendant, the estate of Christopher Meyer. To maao that estate answerable it was necessary to prove that Meyer had been a partner of the Ives gang, and aa such responsible for all their losses. Meyer was dead and could deny nothing. The ready lips of Ives and Staynor swore with affected reluctance to everything essential to prove his partnership. Ihey produced from their own letter books written propositions to Meyer, which, if accepted, would have made him a partner. But unfortunately for this scheme, outside- of their own declarations they rf could prove do acceptance by " Meyer of their offers. Ives appreciated the difficulties of the situation and proceeded characteristically to overcome them. t It was necessary to produce some writing binding Mover. None such was in existence, and the very fact of such a thing had been disclaimed by Ives & Staynor in their depositions. But to a "Napoleonic" mind, such obstacles are trivial. If the document did not exist it must be made to exist. The project was no sooner conceived than executed. Facilities were not wanting. Staynor had been an engraver in his youth, and in that capacity had first come into the employ of the American Bank-note Company, and Ives himself was not unskillful with the pen. Accordingly, at the next meeting of the reference, there was voluntarily produced by Staynor a document which met all the conspirators' requirements. Without the slightest prior suggestion it had sprung into life, fully matured and ready for business. Of course it clearly showed Meyer a partner of Ives, Staynor & Netter, and responsible for all claims against them to the full extent of his estate. The Sun then gives in full the agreement which Ives &. Staynor said made Meyer a full partner with them in the Cincinnati, Hamilton fc Dayton deal. This document is signed II. S. I., C. M., O. H. S. The Sun charges that Ives forged Me3er's initials to the document, and that a powerful magnifying glass shows that the initials wero traced. The Sun then gives a detailed account of the conception and execution of the crime. A Sun reporter this morning had an interview with Ives, and he stillinsisted that the initials were genuine. Mr. Julius L. Dexter, president of the C, H. & D. road, was seen to-night concerning the Sun story regarding Henry S. Ives. Mr. Dexter said: "I saw the document referred to when it was in the possession of F. M. K a in say. of Cincinnati, attorney for the Meyer estate. I noticed the signature particularly, but don't care to say anything about the matter. I believe a photograph of it is now in Kanisay' iv's possession. In my ODinion this entire story c came from YV oodrufTs lips: at any rate at second or third hands." Mr. Dexter is to testify at Ives trial on Tuesday or Wednesday. SWINDLER COMES TO GRIEF. the A Genial Circus Agent Wh& Successfully Robbed Many Person? at Wheeling, W. Ya. Wheeling, W. Va.. Sept. 14. One of the boldest and most successful contldence games ever played on an unsuspecting pnblio was successfully tried in Wheeling this week. A week ago to-day a small, smoothfaced, dark-skinned man, calling himself Harry Lacy, arrived in Wheeling and proclaimed himself the advance agent of Adam Forepaugh's circus. He was a genial man, of good address, and proceeded to make friends with everybody with whom a circus agent usually comes in contact. He made a contiact with the State Fair Association for the use of their grounds on the island for two days, Oct. 7 and 8. He let tho bar privilegoof the grounds and a large number of other contracts. He was much sought after. It is not often a circus agent with 60 liberal a heart is seen. Ho stopped at the McClure House, and made all sorts of liberal arrangements with the hotels to feed "my people" and with the bill posters and others to do "my work." "Nobody over got the concessions I have," said he. "I am a young fellow, but I'm the Napoleon of contractors." Toward the end of the week suspicion was aroused by the peculiar actions of Lacey. lie had received a large amount of money in the way of small advances from men with whom he had made contracts, the sums ranging from $J5 to $50 in each case, and succeeded in lining his pockets with a largo amount of money. The fact that he -was unable to tell where the Forepaugh show has been exhibiting during tne past week looked peculiar, and a newspaper reporter telegraphed, to-day, to Fort Dodge, la., to Mr. Forepaugh, in a short time receiving the following reply: Fokt Dodge, la., Sept. 14. I do not show in Wheeling this season. I know the man Lacey. lie Is a thief. Arrest him. Adam Forepaugh. The people at the McClure House, where Lacey was stopping, were notified, and a warrant was issued for his arrest, which was accomplished this afternoon. The news soon spread and the justice's court was quickly crowded with a large and excited crowd of Lacey's victims. Among thosejwho were swindled, out of large amounts of cash were Mayor Seabright, Capt. Sam Brubacker, leadiug members of the Order of Elks, of which Lacey professed to be a member in good standing. Lacey was committed to jail in default of $2,000 bail this evening. It is probable that he is a discharged employe of Forepaugh, and fouie word from that gentleman is expected which may throw further light on the character of the prisoner. It is said that he successfully "worked" towns in Pennsylvania and Ohio before coming so Wheeling. A Winding Sheet with, a History. Richmond, Ind., Sept. 14.

15 MEMORY. OF GENERAL GRANT. Imposing Statue of the Great Warrior Unveiled at Fort Leavenworth. Fort Leavenworth, Kan., Sept 14. The statue of General Grant, erected in honor of the memory of the great General, was unveiled to-day. The ceremonies were impressive, and yet lacking that ostentation which the plain Grant so much disliked. Troops frou the fort, State military companies, G. A. R. posts, Sons of Veterans and other civic bodien gathered in line at 1 o'clock and marched to the station, where special trains were taken f r the fort. On reaching the grounds the procession reformed and marched to the veiled monument, about which they were massed during tho ceremonies. Kev. E. F. Holland, chaplain of the Department of Kansas, G. A. R., opened the ceremonies with prayer. Brigadier-general Wesley Merritt, U. 8. A., commandingthe Department of Missouri, reviewed the work of the Grant Monument Association, by which the statue was erected, and of which he is president, and exElained how the cost of the tribute had een defrayed by public subscriptions taken in all parts of the country. Then the General stepped forward and unveiled the statue amid the applause of the multitude. As the veil fell to the ground there was revealed to the spectators a statue of Gen. Grant of imposing design and artistic execution. The statue is a bronze military figure of heroic size, nine feet high, upon a polished granite pedestal of equal height. The left foot is slightly advanced, and the left hand holds a paper of official apearance, to which points the right fore-finger. A slouch hat, which all the army veterans recognized at once as Grant's army hat. covers the head. The figure is draped in a long military coat, the cape thrown back over the shoulders. The pedestal of the statue is a monolith, four feet square and five feet high, the top encircled with a wreath of bay leaves in relief. On the front is a tablet inscribed with the names of the battles in which Grant was engaged. The rear of the monolith bears equestrian figures of Grant and his aids-de-camp, in relief. The west side bears an inscription of the names of the various societies and organizations which contributed to the expense of the erection of the statue. After the statue was unveiled orations on General Grant were delivered by Senator In galls, of Kansas; Gen. C. W. Blair, of Topeka. and the Rev. Henry Swift, chaplain of the post at Fort Leavenworth. Maj. William Warner, of Kansas City, ex-com-inander of the G. A. R., was on the programme for a speech, but private business in Washington preventedhis being present. He sent a telegram of regret. Reno Monument Unveiled. Harrisburg, Pa., Sept. 11. The Reno monument was unveiled at the Antietam battle-field to-day at the Bpot where General Reno was killed. CoL IX. II. I. Goddard, formerly of the Ninth Army Corps, presided, and" tho unveiling was performed by former members of General Keno's staff. Gen. O. B. Wilcox, U. 8. A., delivered the oration. The monument is of granite and nine feet high. It has the word "Reno" on its second base, and on a polished front is carved the badge of the Ninth Army Corps and dates. WAS LINCOLN PREDESTINED? Said to Have Been Forewarned that He Was to Have a Share in Abolishing Slavery. Lewistox, 111., Sept. 14. The Rev. Dr. Haney, a pioneer Methodist minister, of Canton, 111., told this reminiscence of Abraham Lincoln: "The Rev. Peter Aker an eloquent pioneer Methodist, held a meeting near Springfield some years before the war, and one day Abraham Lincoln and several other attorneys of Springfield, drove out to it. Father Adams spoke that day on the Sin of Slavery, and prophesied that in a few years God would wipe out this crime'of crimes in blood. The sermon was generally regarded as the mouthings of a blatant Abolitionist, and in returning home the lawyers laughed and joked about it. Lincoln, however, remained silent and grave. "Noticing his unusual conduct his companions rallied him by asking, 'What do yon think of Brother Akors's sermon!' 11 Mr. Lincoln replied as follows: "Well, I confess that I have never before been so deeply impressed by human utterance. I have never thought we should have war over slavery or any other question. Bnt those uttt ranees to-duy seemed to come from far beyond the preacher. They came to me as a real and wofnl prophecy. More astonishing than all, and you may laugh at your will, i seemed to be thrilled in iy very soul with the conviction that I aca in some way to have a tremendous responsibility in that coming and avful war.''

Fpeclal to the Xniuaaapolis Journal Franklin. Ind., Sept 14. Thursday witnessed the dedication of the new chapel of Franklin College, The exercises of the occasion opened with an address by Rev. W. B. Riley, of Lafayette, on 'The Dangers to a Student's Time." He classed the dangers under three heads: The want of intellectual habit, natural indolence and bad com panions. In the course of his remarks he said that fraternities are grand institutions, but may do great harm. President Stott followed with an address on "The Place of the Chapel in College Life." Around it centers the social amen ities of college life. It is the place for religious and moral training, and upon its platform are expressed opinions upon the questions of the day and the problems of life which are of untold value and of boundless influence in moulding character. He 6poke feelingly of the old chapel; how students who had gathered there had passed to their long rest; of the storms in the nationallife whose thunder had echoed within its walls. It had heard the bugle call of two wars, was empty at Lincoln assassination and the close of the rebellion, but when our second martyred President crossed to the other shore, the Nation's grief found there also bleeding hearts, and upon its walls are still traces of the motto, "God reigns, and the government at Washington still lives," Upon its walls a marble tablet records the names of those who left it to fight and to fall in defense of their country. With it are left these memories, and upon the clean walls of this new chapel will be written others. During the occupation of the old chapel, Franklin College had twice closed its doors, but now stands on a solid financial foundation, honored and loved by its own denomination, and receiving the respect of all others for its thorough work. - The dedication hymn was composed by Miss Leuore Ayres, of Seymour; and the prayer off ered by Rev. A. B. Chaffee, of the same place. Visitors were present from all over the State. The year begins with an increased number of students, and promises to be a prosperous one. At the trustees' meeting, Mr. Charles E. Goodell was elected instructor in modern languages. THE CUT IK FREIGHT RATES. Action of the Bnrllngton & Northern to De Followed by Other Roads. CniCAGO, Sept. 14. The action of the Chicago, Burgiinton & Northern road in reducing freight rates between Chicago and 8t. Paul to a 40-cent basis claimed the undivided attention of the representatives of the "Western and Northwestern lilies at their meeting to-day. It was agreed at the outset that the rates would have to be met, but tho question that provoked the hottest discussion was whether the other roads could put the reduced rates into effect on the same date that the Burlington & Northern tariff becomes operative. General Freight Agent Hambliu, of the Burlington & Northern, calculated that he would have the reduced rates in orce at least one day before any of his competitors and secure all the business for that length of time. But the other roads refused to see the matter in that light. They argued that they were no longer bound by the agreement to give live days' notice, as that agreement was understood to apply only to the road that should take the initiative in announcing a proposed change. The matter was finally referred to Chairman Faithorne, who ruled that the roads desiring to meet the action of the Burlington & Northern need not wait five days before doing so. It will now be necessary for the Western and Northwestern roads to revise all their local tariU's to conform to the new basis. There seems no doubt that Missouri river - rates will also be pulled down. The meet serious result will probably be a reduction of the Iowa distance tan If. - J. N.

DR. NEWCOMER'S DEATH. The Medical Society and School Commix sloners Take Suitable Action. A largely-attended meeting of the Marion County Medical Association was held, las night, in Dr. Todd's office, on West Ohio street, to consider what action should bo taken by the association relative to tie death of Dr. F. S. Nemcomer. Dr. II. Jameson presided and Dr. D. A. Thorn pi"jn officiated as secretary. 4 In response to the chairman's invitr.fc'on for any gentleman present who desired zr speak of the deceased previous to the drafting of the resolutions. Dr. J. L. Thompson said: "I was in tbc habit of meeting Dr. Newcomer every day, and I formed . a very good opinion of him. I regarded him as a very substantial physi cian, and as worthy of his profession. 1 regret his death deeply. His nature was to be happy and genial, he vaa remarkably full of fun, and had an anecdote to illustrate almost evervthirtr be said, and he used to dwell a creat deal unon the foibles and follies of the race. He would stop me in the 'street whether the day was hot or cold and tell mo an anecdote. One thing that impressed me very much of his noble character was the following incident. He called me on one occasion, holdiutr a newsnanerinhia hands which contained an article detriment al to him. His head was shaking so spasmodically that he alarmed me. Doctor,' said he, 'if that man has anything against me. I will go two-thirds of the wav to overcome his hatred. Nay, I will eo the whole road.' That was noble; that was grand. He was always happy and cenial. light of countenance. pleasant in conversation; none among his patients felt like dying when he was at their bedside. I think we have lost a noble member of the faculty; his family has lost a tender and affectionate father, and the community a whole-souled, genial friend." ur. J. Ji. woodburn said: 'l have been on the most intimate terms, socially and professionally, with Dr. Newcomer. I knew him as an honest man and. a good physician, better than some of us. He was a most conscientious man and a firm friend. I feel that I cannot express my thoughts on this occasion. I feel a degree of sadness that is unusual with me." Dr. J. A. Comimror. in his tribute to the deceased, said: 'fhis is certainly a sad occasion to contemplate; it is not necessarj to enlarge upon tne merits of our deceased friend, because the people are well ac quainted with them; the profession certainly is, and as far as any demerits of character or professional conduct are concerned, I do not think he had any. Ho was a man that all would do well to emulate. Dr. Newcomer's life was certainly a most" admirable one. If he had a professional enemy I never knew it. And if the rest of us here, who are yet to follow him at tho end, can lay down our lives with as universal a friendship in the profession and the people, 1 say wo will have a great end. In many respects wo are very small men in comparison with him. lie was universally loved, and this is something we all cannot say." Dr. L. D. Waterman said: I can oulv repeat the eulogies of those who have already spoken. I have been acquainted with Dr. Newcomer for twenty-five years, and I desire to bear my testimony to the manliness, integrity and high sense of honor, which distinguished and adorned his character." Dr. L. L. Todd: "I have not had as long an acquaintance with Dr. Newcomer as some other members of the profession, but I had it long enough to form a great attachment to the deceased. I looked upon my friend Dr. Newcomer as one of the best rounded specimens of manliness and professional excellence with whom 1 have ever come in contact." Dr. E. F. Hodges: 'I have been on terms of the closest intimacy with Dr. Newcomer, and he possessed certain qualities that 1 can hardly speak of now. 1 have lost a friend that was incomparably dear to me. I have never met another character like his, and I doubt if I shall again." Dr. E. It. Lewis gave the following anecdote relative to the kindness and the nobleness of heart shown by the .deceased: 'A short time after I was introduced to Dr. Newcomer I was awakened one morning to hear that the Harrison Bank, in which all my money was invested, had become bankrupt, leaving me with only fifty cents in my pocket, a comparative stranger, and with no professional practice. Dr. Newcom er came to me, though almost a stranger, and, with tears in his eyes, he asked me to go round with him to his otlice. Asking fne to bo seated, he drew from his pocket his purse, and gave me one-half of its contents, 20, in such a manner that I could not refuse it, at the same time saying that I should always be welcome to one-half it contained." Drs. Harvey, Blitz. Jefiries. Elder, W. C. Thompson, Oliver, Hadlev, Bloomfield. Wagner and Maxwell also boro tribute in many eloquent anecdotes and incidents to the general nobleness and virtue of tho deceased, and previous to the close of the meeting Drs. liodges, Maxwell, Woodburn, Kitchen and Thompson were appointed a committee of five to draw up a set of resolutions embodying the feeling of tho association and conveying its sympathy to the bereaved family.
