The Ex-Bookkeeper Later Leaves Chlcas for New York In Cuntoily of the Inlted States Marshal. CHICAGO, Dec. 13.-Samuel C. Seeley, the. New York bank defaulter, was taken before United States Commissioner Wirt for preliminary examination to-day. President Crane, of the National Shoe and Leather Bank, was present and outlined the crime i and Seeley was held under $20,000 bonds. He waived examination and said he had no one who could give bonds for him and was taken back to his cell, preparatory to being escorted back to New York. United States Marshal Arnold, finding President Crane, of the Shoe and Leather National Bank, such a good .companion, and bookkeeper Seeley not a bad sort of a fellow, determined to take Seeley to New York himself In company with President Crane. Marshal Arnold and Seeley -went down to the depot together, where they were Joined by Mr. Crane and detective Nugent, leaving for New York over the Fort Wayne line at 3:30. After dinner to-day Seeley went to the barber shop, attired, himself in his best clothes, a neatly fitting Prince Albert coat and dark trousers, and when he came back to the marshal's office he looked more like a bank cashier than in his gray business suit. Under the Influence of good companions and a cigar he threw off his reserve and spoke freely about his stay in Chicago. "It is a bigger and finer city than I usually save It credit for being," he said. "I feel In love with Its big buildings. Its bustle and stir. It Is away ahead of New York. I felt lonely and took delight in going about the residence district. It took the edge off my loneliness. I knew nobody. I went around the leading hotels, but never saw any one whom I recognized. It was In this wandering about that 1 fell in with McFarland.. I took a fancy to him, perhaps because he made himself so pleasant, and I felt so much the need of companionship. We went to the races several times. He took me on .day around to the Pullman building and introduced me to a friend of his who has a collection of tnedal. and I began to feel somewhat at ease after coming in contact with such a pleasant gentleman as tue one with the medals and coins. "How did I come to tell him who I was? Well, that is a mystery to me. I have no leeollection of the matter. We had been drinking several times to excess, at least I did. tor he could stand more than I could. With liquor In my brain I was liable to confess myself to the first man who would be willing to hear me. I suppose in one of these drunks I told him my secret. Certainly, in my sober senses I would not have been such a fool. Last Saturday night he came to my room and told me that some of his people were 111 at Bloomington. He wanted me to give him S100. I refused him. After he left my room I thought that perhaps ome of his family might be suffering, and I thought of my own suffering.1, and went and hunted him up. I gave him $i. He asked me to meet him at train time on Sunday evening, or Monday morning If he failed to get In at the first time. I went there both times. He never showed up. That was the last time I saw the man. He used my money to get drunk, and after It was spent. Informed on me the sneak. I have not language strong enough to express my detestation of his conduct, after the friendship that apparently existed between us, and after I had taken him up and clothed him decently and provided his living. But It is al! up," and Seeley !ay back in his chair, closing his eyes and passing his hand over his forehead. He diverted every effort to turn the conversation towards the bank affairs. Before leaving. President Crane was asked what he thought of the story that Frederick Baker had acquired so mysterious and terrible Influence over Seeley possibly a hypnotic control by which he absorbed the money which the other stole. "The directors of the bank and myst-If have mad every effort- to ascertain what was the secret relation between Seeley and Baker," replied Mr. Crane. 4That there was one we have not had the slightest doubt, but what It was Ave have not discovered. The suggestion that this relation was possibly In Its nature hypnotic is plausible, and brings to my mind several nv ideas which may be followed up. Of course, Sc-eley shows In his face th evidence of hiving been under some physical and mental strain. It does not appear that this is clthtr due to his crime or his flight, but

rather to something which has had power over him for months past. What that strange something is Baker cannot tell, for he is dead. Seeley can only reveal it, and I Imagine that when he does not much of hl3 story will ever reach print. The papers will probably not want it. I can't say whether Seeley will be convicted or not. There are phases of his case which, when revealed, I think, may change a great many opinions as to how our bank was robbed. I do not say that this will be the case, but It is a possibility," CA IT UK CD IJY A MOP.

Trntn Stopped and a Desperate Effort Mnde to Lynch a sro Prisoner. PADUCAH, Ky., Dec 13.-A mob of fifty masked men boarded the Chesapeake, Ohio & Southwestern train at a crossing on the outskirts of town about midnight last night and attempted to take Samuel Owens, colored, "from the officers. Owens received a life sentence yesterday for the murder of Samuel Ogllvle last September, and the officers were on their way to the Dddyvllle penitentiary with him. The engineer and firemen were quickly covered with pistols and compelled to leave the cab. The air brakes were cut and several shots fired. The passengers hurried away from the car containing the prisoner, who was locked in the closet. The windows and doors of the car were Boon smashed nad the mob rushed In with drawn revolvers. Deputy Grady was knocked down with a club, which was hurled at him through the car window. The officers were powerless to resist the attack made by the mob and set about to get the train started again. A desperate effort was made to force open the door to the closet, but before thl3 was done Deputy Sheriff Potter had taken the fireman and engineer back to tho cab and compelled them to start the train. When this was done the mob left the train without securing the murderer. The rope which had been provided wai " left in the car. The officers encountered no further trouble and the prisoner was landed Safely in the penitentiary. GOTHAM'S BOSS LEECH EVIDEXCB THAT RICHARD CHOKER BLED CITY OFFICIALS. Michael Moran Tells of Cheeks Given to the Tnmninny Chieftain Other Evils Probed by Mr. Goff. NEW YORK, Dee. 13. Police brutality was the theme of John F. Ferguson's testimony before the Lexow commltee. Without provocation, he said, an officer had struck him in the mouth and knocked out three of his teeth. Mrs. Monaghan, who keeps a respectable boarding house In West Seventeenth street, flanked on either side by disreputable houses, then told of her unavailing efforts to bring the keepers of those houies Into court. Etlenne Boyer, the ex-pollceman, who yesterday admitted that he had loaned his captain (Murphy), $330 without security, was permitted to explain to-day that the money was not loaned on the understanding that he should be the captain's wardman. Michael Moran, who is In the towing business for the city, was asked: "What commissioner put you at work?" 'Commissioner Coleman." "Did he make any agreement with you when you were appointed?" "Yes, he told me to do the work as cheap as I could and not t give up any money to anyone. He said If I did he would put me out." "Well, did you give up any money?" "Only for political purposes." ; "Well, who did you give it tor' "To Mr. Croker, I suppose." ' "Richard Croker T' "Yes." H: I Mr. Goff fumbled with - his papers a few minutes and then produced a canceled check. The check was for $50 and was drawn to the order of Richard Croker and bore his indorsement. "Well, what was this given to Mr. Croker for?" "For the Fourth of July celebration." Mr. Goff then produced another check for $50 dated Oct. 29, 1891, which was indorsed as the others. This, the witness said was for election expenses. In lSDi witness sent two more checks to Richard Croker, one for $50 and one for $75. Witness said that these were for the same purpose. "1 see anotner nere dauu cct. 3, 1S92, for $150," continued Mr. Golf. "What accounts for this increase?" "Oh. that was the presidential year." "And you wanted to make yourself solid, I suppose?" "Yes. I suppose so." Mr. Goff then led the witness to state that the city condemned several tugs as unsafe, and they were auctioned off. One of these had been bought in and taken Into the custom-house service. Police Capt. Timothy J. Creedon was the next witness. He stated that he Joined the police force in 1864. He was made a captain in 1892. Mr. Goff reviewed the record of Captain Creedon as a preliminary to his further examination. This record showed that Captain Creedon fought through the entire civil war in twenty-eight separate engagements. He rose from the ranks to the position of sergeant, and would have been made a lieutenant, but he left the service without taking the commission. Mr. Goff also developed the fact that in thirty years' service on the police force Captain Creedon had been fined onlv six days' pay. "Now," continued Mr. Goff. "In view of such an enviable record, I hate to ask you how much you paid for your captaincy." Mr. Goff added that he had the greatest confidence in the Integrity and honor of the witness, and he hoped the witness would see fit to tell. the whole truth. "I never paid any money for my captaincy," said Captain Creedon slowly. He reiterated this denial in whatever form the query was put to him. Captain Creedon admitted he had !orrowed $l,ooo from Mr. Howard and another thousand from Mr. McGurkin. Jolm iloward testified that he lent Creedon $l,0uo, but It had been returned when it was due. He said it was for a testimonial to Captain Creedon. William tSneP. a real-estate dealer, was next called. Mr. Snell Is the man who deposited the $15,000 which it is alleged was paid for the captaincy. It was deposited Jan. 21, 1SLC The witness said he received the money under the impression he was stakeholder for a bet. He never Inquired whr.t was the nature of - the bet. "Was it because you had an idea what it was for and did not want to inquire?" "Yes. that's It." Witress said he got the money from" Mr. Rourke and paid it to Mr. Rapenhagen on Mr. Rourke's order. John W. Hapenhagen was called to the stand. After trying to get from the witness how he had spent the $15,000 which had been given to him. Mr. Goff said: "Mr. Chairman, I think it disgraoefui to continue such an examination; for this creature to sit In that stand and lie the way he Is doing. The witness was dismissed with the Injunction to produce his bank book tomorrow Harry Miner, the theatrical manager and Congressman-elect from the Ninth district, was the next witness. He testified that he drew his check for Sl.Ooo, and this money, he understood, was for Captain Creedon's benefit, and Captain Creedon gave him notes for the money. "And has that been paid?" "Not fully. Captain Credon has paid me some money every month, and I pay it cut to those people who made up the $13,onQ." "Did he pay this money to you himself?" "Yea." Mr. Miner said he would oroduce all his books and papers In court to-morrow, and the committee then adjourned. Lnw Knforeement Society. ALBANY. N. Y Dec. .13.

I EXEMPT FROM THE TAX. Certain specified corporations for charitable and like purposes and certain savings banks, mutual Insurance companies and loan associations are exempt from Income tax.

Collectors are required to examine the articles of incorporation and business methods of corporations claiming exemption, and where such are not within the class specifically exempt, to cause return to be made for taxation as in the case of other corporations.

Appeals, and the method thereof, are allowed and prescribed in all cases "where the persons charged with the tax is dissatisfied with the decision of a deputy collector or collector. In the first Instance, the appeal is to the collector, and if dissatisfied: with his decision, the appellant may have the entire cause, with all papers end evidence relating thereto, transferred to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue for his decision. t Severe penalties are imposed upon all officers and other persons who make known, in any manner, any fact or particulars contained In or relating to any return of any taxpayer or any fact as to the source .or amount of the income of any such person. Collectors are strictly directed by the regulations to rigidly enforce this provision. As all original returns are forwarded to, and filed in, the office of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, the opportunity for exposure of the facts protested by this provision will be greatly reduced. The tax on incomes for the year 1894 will be due and payable on or before the 1st day of July next, and if not paid at that time the penalties will attach for nonpayment. The collection of the tax when delinquent will be enforced in the same manner as in cases of enforcement and collections of other taxes under the Internal revenue laws of the United States.

ILLEGAL ACTS OF A TRUST. Testimony In the Suit to Annul the Tobacco Company Cliaftt-r.

NEW YORK. Dec. 13. The exami ation of witnesses in the proceedings by . .ttor-ney-general John P. Stockton, cf Ne' . Jersey, against the American Tobacco Trust Company, to annul the charter of the company, was resumed before Commissioner Walter Cleary to-day. tfhere have been several examinations held within the last two months, at which the testimony of Jobbers and dealers has ehowed that the trust controls 98 per cent, of the cigarettes manufactured In the United States. The first wltneis to-day was Henry Herbert, a Brooklyn cigar dealer. Two years ago lie entered into a contract with the American Tobacco Company. His rebates were cut off and his entire supply of cigarettes was stopped because the company deemed his action, in giving away matches to customers an attempt to cut the price. When giving the matches he knew he was violating the contract with the company. Julius E. L'hrman. of Eisenberg. Deckman & Co., of San Francisco, was the next witness. He is the president of the J. 11. Pace Tobacco Company, of Richmond, Va. The witness produced invoices from 1883 to 1834 of goods supplied by firms belonging to the trust. The invoices prior to l&l were from individual companies, which subsequently formed the trust. In the later ones each company was styled "branch of the American Tobacco." He was cut off twice for alleged violations. Abraham T. Armstrong, a Jobber in all kinds of cigarettes, said he had a contract with the American Tobacco Company. The price ftxed for all 5-cent goods was $3.8) per thousand. He said he had a letter from Secretary Brown saying his firm had violated the contract, and refusing to consign any more goods. "I was not allowed the 2 per cent, off on the goods purchased by me at the time Mr. Brown wrote me," Armstrong testified. John Reswick had also signed an agreement with the Tobacco Trust and was cut off for cutting prices. Isaac Boas, tobacco dealer, gave testimony to the same effect. Barrett Kamchetsky, a manufacturer of Brooklyn had been punished twice by tbe trust for violating his ordinances. TO FIGHT THE TRUST BIO ANTI-STANDARD COMBINATION PERFECTED IN OHIO. Toledo and Cleveland Compnnles in the Deal Six to Elftht Million Dollars of Capital Invested. CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec, 13. Information was received here to-day regarding the formation of a big anti-Standard Oil combination. The negotiations were conducted at Toledo, -jphere, it is said, the final action was taken this morning. The promoters of the combination are the Sun Refining Company of Toledo, the Merriam & Morgan Co. of this city and the Crystal Oil Company of Toledo. It is probable that the Paragon Refining Company and the Craig Oil Company of Toledo will also be taken into the deal. The Sun, Crystal, Paragon and Craig companies are extensive producers in the Ohio field. While the Merriam & Morgan Co. confines its business entirely to the manufacture of byproducts of petroleum. The Incorporators of the new company are J. B. Merriam, E. B. Merriam, J. W. Stewart, John G. White and A. M. Beckett, and the concern will have a capital of between bix and eight million dollars. A pipe line will be constructed from the Ohio field to Toledo, arhere the refining will be done by a process which, it is claimed, renders the Ohio ell superior to that from the Pennsylvania field. The company will aso manufacture all the products of petroleum, and extensive buildings for that purpose will be erected. Representatives of the Merriam & Morgan Co. In this city, who were seen this afternoon, while declining to admit that the deal had been consummated, said that negotiations with that end in view had been pending for some time. There seems to be little doubt that the combination is a fact. . The Company Incorporated. TOLEDO, Ohio. Dec. 13. Though the Toledo parties interested in the reported consolidation of Cleveland and Toledo oil companies are unwilling to discuss the matter, there is scarcely any doubt that the deal is an important one. The Diamond Oil Company has been incorporated with J. II. and E. B. Merriam, James W. Stewart, John G. White and A. M. Beckett as directors. The first two named are Cleveland men. The company. It Is said, will manufacture everything just as the Standard has been doing for years. This includes gasoline, naphtha, burning oil, lubricating oil, pitch, paraffine, candles, etc. The feun Oil Company is really Push & Emerson, two wealthy producers, of Pittsburg. They own more production in Ohio than any concern outside the Standard Oil Company. The Crystal Company is operated by Ueorjce K. Lorenz and August W. Machen. Thev have good producing wells in the f -olo field and a refinery in East Toledo. Tbe Diamond Oil Company will begin to operate the refinery at once and quickly complete the construction of the new buildings necessary to manufacture all the other products. Snlt for ;M,0?M.

Financial Views of Hanker Cornrrell. Ellttr Dana and Dodtworth and 31 r. Hepburn Carlisle's DHL Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON', Dec 11. The banking and currency committee, which has been giving hearings for tbe past week to all men interested In the reform of the present banking and currency system, to-day decided to end all hearings on Saturday. Consideration of a bill will be at once begun, and it is Chairman Springer's confident belief that by Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest he will be able to report a bill tc the House. The bill will be on the general line of Mr. Carlisle's draft, but wil; contain enough of Mr. Springer's individual Ity to make it become known as th Springer bllL It will be adopted in com mittee by a strict party vote. The Republican members of the committee will oppose In committee room and In the House all schemes for new currency legislation which, will repeal the present tax on State banks, or which recognizes any other than the , government as the guarantor for all cur-: rency issued. The bill will be whipped through th House as promptly as possible. Mr. Springer has already conferred with Speaker Crlpp and Mr. Catchings, of the rulei committee, with a view to obtaining a special order from the committee on rules to fix the time for the debate and taking a vote. Mr. Springer is sanguine enough to believe that he can pass the bill through the House before the adjournment for the Christmas holidays. He may find opposition, however. Mr. Bland has pulled himself sufficiently together to announce that' he will offer a free-coinage of silver bill as a substitute, and thereby bring the silver Issue squarely before the Hour. It will not be surprising, however, if the currency bill passes the House, The. free State banKprovlslon in It will catch very many South; ern and Western votes .which would otherwise rally around. Mr. Bland In opposition. At the same time this? very provision will drive away many of the Republicans votes on which President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle have always depended In their past contentions for honest money and sound financial doctrines. TO BE BRIBED WITH "PLUM&" The President and Secretary believe they can force the bill through the House. It is being given out that Mr. Cleveland still has a few plums wherewith to reward the "good boys" In the. House, and it Is known that Sir. Springer is to be safely provided for as soon as the bill passes. The knowledge of Mr. Springer's good fortune is being carefully circulated by administration members, with the apparent purpose of winning over doubtful members who, since their defeat at the polls last November, see themselves threatened with the possibility of being compelled to earn a living outside of the public service. Hence, there will doubtless be a general rallying around the administration standard. But both Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Carlisle feci that the bill cannot pass the Senate. Mr. Voorhees's determination to offer a free silver bill will furnish the necessary nail on which to hang interminable speeches, and the administration interprets yesterday's refusal to adopt cloture in the Senate as the first point In the game to fillbuster any currency bill to death in the present session of Congress. There will be no relief until the House is Republican and the Republican forces In the Senate are materially strengthened. There was an exciting scene in the morning session of the banking and currency committee between Messrs. Johnson, of Indiana, and Hall, of Missouri. Mr. Johnfcon Is vigorously opposed to any currency scheme which contemplates free State oanks or any other than a government guarantee of all circulation issued, and he has been careful to discuss with every one who has appeared before the committee in what respect the plan advocated by him departs from these two fundamental pronations. Mr. Hall, on the contrary, being a Southern member, has hotly favored every scheme that included free State banks, and has watched with undisguised resentment the Indiana Republican's careful questioning. To-day his impatience reached t a climax when Mr. Johnson was rrobing the scheme of editor William Dodsworth. of the New York Journal of Commerce. Mr. Dods worth's pcheme involved free banks, but under Mr. Johnson's questions he finally acknowledged that he would so surround the State banks with all the safeguards of federal Inspection, control, etc., as to make them practically national banks. HA EL IXJSES HIS TEMPER. Then Mr. Hall angrily sprang to his feeL I Insist that you stop this eternal catechising," he cried. "You ask more questions than any two men together, and always on the same lines. We have but very little time, and jou are monopollilnff it." Mr. Johnson replied that It was true the Democratic committee on banking and currency had "set aside but little time In which to revolutionize a system of banking which has brought the country prosperity for thirty years," but that Mr. Hall might -do better not to try to hamper his effort toMmprove that short time. As a member of the committee he had a perfect right to ask 'questions, and he proposed to exercise his right. ' Mr. Hall angrily demanded that Chairman Springer call Mr. Johnson to order. "I find no reason to call !r. Johnson to order," replied Mr. Springer. "On the contrary, his questions are eminently Intel! gent and proper." j Mr. Cox, a Democratic member of the committee protested against Mr. Hall't conduct, and courteously offered Mr. Johnson his time for further questions. Mr. Johnson declined to accept as a favor what was his right. ZIr. Hall appealed io ity
