A SOULLESS SOULE.

MISPLACED CONFIDENCE. A Ter der Widow and Her Tnißtful I Mother Misplace Their Affection and Their Money. THE SAD STORY AS RKCITEO TO A SENTINEL KIPORTER BT THE VICTIMIZED WOMEN AND OTHERS LEGAL r-ROCEKDING TO BS INSTITUTED TO RIGHT THE WOMKS'S WRONGS At the beginning of last October Mrs. Mary A. Patcb, an aged widow and Christian womar, owned and presided over a happy home near Buffalo, N. Y. The only other inmates were a widowed adopted daual tsr and her child, a httle girl of three year p. In another part of the city of Buöalo lived Andraw Soul, wit his wife and four children, all under b s father's roof. Mrs. Ptch had real t state valued at 4,000 or ?5 000, and money on deposit amounting to about $2,500. On her litUe fortune Soule bad fixed his thought-!, and dt ttrqiined to secure it. lie left Bnff.-do for a short time and when be returned he reDresented that te had been at Erie, P., whither he baa gone for the porpose of procuring a divorce. Oily toDgned and pleasant of speecD, be soon won on the affactior s of both the women, until the elder came to regard him wit the trusting confidence she might have Kiveaoneof htr barieJsots, while the younger one entertained a tenderer t rest for hicD. To his soft words she lent a wllllo? tar; to his tale of srrow she gave closest attention and readiest belief; for his sympathy she was wrmly grateful; and when at last he told bis love she was only too ready t j yield to his wishes and become bis wife. To their hp?loees thcra was bet ote drawback. By the laws of the state of New York he wia forbidden to marry again, and a violation of that law rendered him liable toarrett. To obvltte this difficulty It ai determined that so soon as the marriage ceremony was parformed the happy couple should itirt fcr Indianapolis, where, by contract already made with the Singer Sewing Machine Company, the harpy groom was to have, charge of the Singer agency of the state at a salary of $3,000. That there might be NO TROUBLE ABOUT MONET MATTERS after getting here, Mrs. Patch drew from the bank $300 and rf quested Soule to have it shipped through by express. He took it to the office and took a receipt for it in Mr?. Patch's nam, which he brought back and exhibited to her. With the parly came a young man named Frank B. Cjncver, who was to take a p.sltion in toe Sirjger tfllce under Soule. On their arrival here they t ok a cottage on Ilurjn stree, which proved too araall fir their furniture, the property ol Mr'. Patch, and Soule was rcquts ed to eitter sell or trale for something mora convenient and less bulky. This he did, trading for a loldiDg couch, which, be said to bis wife, was not covered but would be finished and sent borne in a tew days. Not content with his $3,000 salary, te sougtt the ppointmett of vice presideLt ot a new insurance comp ry which w a just organizing. He talked tb;s matter over with bis wife, saying that the poeit on would give him authority to appoint agents all over the country; tbty would be his eub-sgent?, and be vould receive a percentage on their bußlnes, amounting probably ta I3.0C0 a ytar, and all this without giving up his 3,000 situation with the Singer, lie oould not get the ppointmeot unless be could give good evidence of responsibility. If only her mother would give him a power of attorney authorizing him to draw all her money rom the Baffolo baokp, and mortgage her property there to secure a loan icr hrs own us?, that would show her con fidence in him, would convince the other stockholders that te was ett r ly ra pnsiblp, and secure for him tbe cte ed position. He wouldn't draw the money nor make tbe loan, but would RETURN THE POWER OF ATTORNEY to bis motber-in-law in a week. At lat, on Saturday, Februaiy 5, the old lady gave him the desired document, he a s ired her that the company would b9 organized during tbe wef k; be would be appinted vice iristdett, and on Saturday, at the farthest, ha would rtt urn the paper to her. Ou Monday Le informed his wife that business iu connection with the insurance coinpwy would call bim . to Cincinnati and Cleveland, and thence borne. Tuesday morulng he left, rs:ensibly for Cincinnati In a day or two some lady calle 1 and suggfs.ed that all was not lovely. The Irlend, Conover, calltd, too, as be had teen in the habit of doing be lira Soule went awy, and be stated broadly aod plainly that tbe absent busLand was swindling tbe innocent and uc-su-pectib2women, and that he (Concver) fcal been storing the spoil. Later h vailed again, saying that he had a lei tar from Soule, and was authorized to gtt his trunk and clothe?. Mrp. Soule replied that he could have tbe thiugs on production of the letUr. - Not being able t) do this he left the houe, a sa Jder, a wiser, and an aogrier man, but none ti e richer. Cb6wlog the cud ot bltttr reflection, he tethrught him that his partner In iniquity bad kipped out without a lair div's on, and be determined to be revenged. Uewrcttout a terribly ungrammatical and miserably misspelled account of Soule's share in tbe transaction, carefully saying nothing about bis own infamy in assisting his pil to deceive the confiding wemen. This led to a series ot interviews by a Sentinel reporter, which developed, ptrhaps, all the tacts iu the case. Acting upn the hkts received, Mrs. Soule began to iuvettigate matur. In tbe first place she let rned that he had necr had any connection witi any sewing machine ompany in Indiana. Then she learned that the iS00 which was suppited to have been expressed ta Indianapolis and deposited In a bank by him, had bmn quietly withdrawn from the express office at Buflalo and picketed by Soule. ON THIS HE HAD BEEN LIVING ever since h!s arrival here. It was now nearly exhausted, hence tbe necesei y for a power of attorney that he might draw Mrs. Patch's remaining $1,000 from the B .ffalo bank, and negotiate a loan by mortgaging ber real ettile. lie had represented thst Mr. McRenz, ol the Trade Palace clothing bouse, was prominently connected with tbe ne n insurai ce company. To him Mr. Soule went and made Irqairies stout the organ fzitlon. Mr. McKenzie bad parhaps , ceird something of a con-piny tj b$ cranized, but he had no connection with it; bad no acquaintance with Houle except that be had been Introduced to htm. lie had bought one or two small bills there, but Mr. McKenzie would not now be able to recognize him. Mrs. Soule told her story, and Mr. McKenzie advised her to

' t telegraph to Buffiioat onca. Barstinz

Into tear, the tmf&r'unate woman said ! sbe would bs glad to do so, bet tb scf undrtl wto had deceived ber had rot le t her even a penny to buy food witb. Mr. McKenzie kindly offered to relieve Vr d:ßlcul y, a d not only wr;t3 her dlsr itch for ber, bet gave her money to tend t and to relieve htr more pressing immediate necessities. Within a sboit time friends furnished ber the means t J go on to Buffalo, carrying with her a revocation of his power of attorney. There she learned that Soule bad some time ago written to Messrs. Lee & Picking for a loan, offering a mortgage on Mrs. Patch's pre party, and whey bad replied to him that the loan could be negotiated if be had a power of attorney to sign tbe mortgage. With this arrangement he had come on, and 15 minutes after they bad received ber dispatch be bad entered the office, and they had refused the loan. That evening he returned with a note addressed to Mrs. Patch, and indorsed: "Deliver or sand if called for." IT WAS A LETTER, s lying that he had gone to New York, and asking Ettie (his wife) to writs him there. She did wnta, requesting a return of part, et ltat, of the money as be bad left tbem penniless?. 10 this, so far as beard from, she has not re ceived any reply to date. From Messrs. L? A Pickiug'a r ffiie sbe went to the Wetrn Savings Bank, where Mrs. Patch had a dcp"8i and t Sere she learned teat the at tor nt y who had been acting for Mrs. Pat3h bad sispected something wrong, and bad caused his name to be entered ou the bank books is a Joltt depositor. The bank refused to pay over the money on tbe power of attorney without the written authority of tbe lawyer. This could not be ott lined, and that deposit waw safe. Hastsnlng to the Erie County Savings Bank, sbe learned taat tbe villain had been mere sacceasful there, the money having been paid to him. Arranging matters so as to prevent any fur. ber use of the power of attorney, sbe returned to this citv, where the Baddefet blow of all awaited her. Par.ies who profess to know declare that the decree of divorce he showed htr as genuine was a fcrgery, and that she was never legally married to tbe Infernal scoundrel. In proof ol this they point tj tbe fa. t that his wile and four children are living with his father, their amicable relations never baying been disturbed, and b:'s correspondence with her never having been broken. They claim that HE HAS DECEIVED BEB into the belief that he was Weit on business, and was either preparing borne for her out there or would speedily return. To induce his last wife to come West, ha made ma ly fair promises, which he never kept. As a last resort to secure Mr?. Soule's influence in getting the power of attorney, he said that unless Mrs. Patch was willing to show that much confidence in bim, be would send her back to Buffalo Rather than be s parated from her mother, against her own inclination she urged her mother to grant bis request. Mir. Patch has taken the necei sary steps to have Soule arrested on a charge of filse pretenses, and an c nicer will start to Bufialo tc-day, to whlcn point It is understood Soule has retnrced, If, indeed, he ever went to New York. Jacob Steiner, adjuster at the Wheeler & Wilsin sewing machine cfll:e, says that Soule bad a very bad reputation in Erie. lie was alwsya drunk there. His first wife came on irom Bufialo to induce him to return there. She was nnable to do anything with him until she had him arrested on the street I y the police. They were recorciled, and she returned- to Bufftlo with his promise that be would end ber money as he earned IN Instead cf keeping tbe promise, he had gone back to Buffalo and married bis second wife. Mr. S. E. Allman, manager of tbe Wheeler A Wilson offi.e, whose came wa? freely used by Souie a a reference, never had any acqnaintance witb him, but his reputation was ho bad that ha would net even reoognize bim.

Ia a very few moments the room was filled with a motley crowd, jamming and ) tstling as all crowds are wont. Tbe bidders quietly disposed of themselves in side tbe tailing, every available chair being occupied, and even the HD.as groaning under the weight of one or two gantlemen. There were present the u-ual num ber of aimless ttllowa who are o'rwn by aome Irresistible impulse into every crowd. inese trinad will an empty cha r whereever one could be found, taunt sred through tbe room, and at times caressed a friend with an affectionate familiarity wful to behold. The voice of Judge Gooklns, matter in chancery, finally broke on tbe air, as he began raading the description of the property to be sold and tue terms under which it was to be disposed of. After reading the description ne re marked that the object ot the trustees and himsell, was to get as high a price for tbe canal aa possible, and It was determined to do everything that could be fairly done to that eud, not only in nttlce to the bondholders, but' to all concerned. He read tbe entire description, but the following was THK MOST IMPORTANT TO BIDDERS: Fir;t All that part of the main line of the Wabahh & Erie canal, extending from the western boundary of tbe city of Lalayette, eastward to the Ohio state line, Including its bank, margins, tow-paths, aide-cuts, feeder, basins, rigai-of-w-fty, icck, damp, water power, And structure, and all lota and lands used as sites for whtar powers and franchiser, to be effered for sale in a body.

A! tsr a communication read by Mr. Williaxs, a Lafayette a'toruey, regarding the right of patties who lease water power in Lataye t the ball epened with a bid cf $25,000,.cffered ly Judge LaRu, of Lo fayelfp, and somebody else "covered it" with $8,009, and some other bidder put a thousiua on the top oi that, to: lowed closely ry aa anxious soul who waited it (32,009 worth. It then rn steadily uparrl, touching $33,000, $35.000, 13(1,000, $37,000, $38,000. $39,000, HO.OCO, $41,000, f 12.000, $ 13,000, COO, $15,000, and then Judge LiRue txildlv put on anctber thousand. To this Jude Claypoo), of Greencastle, responded witb a $500 shake of the Lead, and the small change then began flowing. Five, ten, twemy and fiftv dollar bids followed each otuer in rapid succession, and it seemed to be a contest of cantiocsness. But at last some one braver than the balance Legan putting up the sums, and soon the whole wis run r.p to $66,000. Toe judge's stub piccll went up and came down on the disk three times, and the entirety was the property .of Jonathan K. Gapen, tbe principal bondholder, and tbe gentleman under whose suit foreclosure ot the mortgage is made. Judge Gookins arose and stated tbat test bids would now be taken on tbe seven divisions. lie said frankly tbat these bids would not be final, and if they avei aged more than the ect rety came, t?, tbe bidding would be repaoed.

Tbe second division opened with a $100 bid by Mr. Bowen, of Delphi, and tbe bouse was startled by tbe following up cf this meager starter by a $500 bid making it $600. Amounts were addtd until ihe sum of $350 was reached, when Judge Lt Roe became tbe purchaser for the Northern Ice Company. Tbe third section was interesting enough to one gentleman to give it a $500 send off. It ran up the scale until it struck tbe key of $9,600 aod was sold to three gentleman irom Lifayett. 8ectlon four began climbing at $4,000. and tan up until it was knocked nfi tjibemm tbat spoke last and raid $6,500. Tbe fifth soctlon did some very good climbing, considering tbe slow down way lo which it started, at $1,000,. increasing until the key nets Of $25,200 was struck. This wa purchased by J. II. Shirk . of Ltiayette. Tbe alpha of tbe sixth dl vision was f 100; Its omega $835. There was very little spirited bidding on this section.

The motion was, however, overruled, and a lean genius, who stood near the door, and hadn't the slightest idea of what wes being done, stood halting another moment between two opinions: Tbe desire to gratify his irrepressible curiosity, and tbe longings ot his stomach. The stomach prevailed, and he went out slamming the door. The sale went o: Tbe bidding on tbe balance of the canal was by counties.

Mr. Forsjtb, tbe Marquis of Haitlngton, .Mr. Wil liam Harcourt and others supported Mr. Whltebread'a motion for the revoca tion ot the circular and deprecated the government' attempt ' to evade tbe respocs.bility by means of a roval coin mission. Disraeli defended the government's course. He pointed to a dispitch written by Lord Clarendon in 1S71, rebuking an officer on an East Indian ttuion for receiving lultive slaves. He said tbat the question was, could tbe House alter the law or nations r uauaa neara witn great pleasure tbat tbe slavory quea.ion was no paity question. Tbe opposition bad however, tppealed to the in dependent member on both sides ot the house witb a view ol putting the government in a minority. tie stigmatized this proceeding as das tardly. He urged the desirability ot appointing a commission, aid by this mean obtaining a satisfactory settlement of tbe question. Whittread's motion was rejected, 293 to 243. Mr, Hanbuiy, on the

first night of the debate, moved an amendment tbat it 5a desirable to swats further Information from the roval commission. To this Mr. Fawc-tt toc Igt t moved an addition providing tbat the fil rmila i-
