How a Broker Was Induced to Sign a Five-Hundred Dollar Check. A Charge of Blackmail The Defaulting Treasurer of Fern, Ind. Aa Alleged Attempt to Compel His Wall Street Broker to Refund 8500 A Strange Story In "Which a Detective Is Implicated. Now tors: Times. Several weeks- ago James G. Goldsmith, the defaulting treasurer of the city of Fern, Ind., was arrested at the Revere House, in Broadway, at the request of the authorities of that place. Detective Shelley and another headquarters officer captured him in, the liquor store of the hotel, with the aid of a photograph. He at first denied his identity, but finally acknowledged himself to be the fugitive and guilty treasurer. A requisition was sworn out by the State authorities of Indiana, and Goldsmith was taken thither by Detective Shelley. Before leaving New York he confessed that his defalcation was mainly due to imprudent Wall street speculations, which. he had entered into by mail from his provincial home. Among the brokers with whom he claimed to have dealt were T." Potter Wight & Co., No. 35 Wall street Of the $9,000, which about made up the sum of his defalcation, $2,000, he said, passed through their handg as his stock buying agents. On Goldsmith's return to Peru, his bondsmen made his deft, ciencies good, and he was releasad. Mr. Wight says that when Detective Shelley returned from Peru, that officer visited him at his office in Wall street. Mr. G. B. Ashley, of No. 79 Cedar street, civil counsel to the firm, was present at the interview. Shelley said he had been requested to inquire into the commercial standing of the firm of "Wight & Co. He was furnished with inform' ation which he seemed to consider satisfactory, and went away. A lew days afterward he called again, but in a different frame of mind, according to ao--counts. Mr. Wight eavB the detectwe stormed about his office in the most violent way, threatening to break up the firm's business, because it was not "playing a square game," and evidently seemed bent ou "cleaning out" the place anyway. He was dissuaded from this, however, and went away far from being mollified. Not many days after this a person giving the surname of .Mercer appeared at the office of Wight & Co., and said he wanted to invest $50 in stock speculations. As the amount was too small, the firm refused to do business for him. On the following day the same person -called on Lawyer Ashley, at his office in Cedar street, and asked for Mr. Wight, but the latter was not there. Mr. Wight claims that the whereabouts of his counsel s office was not told to the man Mercer by any one in his employ, and he, therefore, wonders how he found it out, A few days after this visit to Ashley, or on August 18, the follow ing advertisement appeared in a morning paper: Parties doing business with T. Potter "Wight -A Go., No. 35 Wall street, should address W. Mercer, No. 107 One Hundred and Fifth street. In the same issue of the paper, and, in fact, in every issue of the paper since, there appears in another column another adver tisement announceiog that W. Mercer is a private detective, doing business at the address given above. Superintendent Wal ling was notified mat it- w.a an evident attempt at blackmail, but he told Counselor - Kintzing, who acted for Mr. Wight, that he could not bring Mercer to task, as no crim inal charge had been preferred against him. On the 22d of August, Mr. Wight received the following letter at the nan da of a mes senger, who, he claims, on the testimony of his clerk and janitor, was accompanied by Detective Sbeiley and directed to the office Dear Bra The cause of action of William B. May, of St. Louis, Mo., against you has been transferred to me. I hereby give you notice that if the same Is not paid at onoe I shall take such proceedings as may be necessary to col lect the same, rou must be aware of your liability in consequence of your mode of doing business. It is my Intention to probe this thing to the bottom, and from trie information which I have received within the past few days of your modus operandi, 1 think 1 can do so without difficulty. Yours truly, Gkorgk H. Hunter, First District Court, corner of Center and Chambers streets, New York. Counselor Kintzing says he sent for Hun ter and also inquired about his standing in the court to which he professed to belong. He was told by Clerk Hogan that the man amounted to little or nothing, and had no omcial connection with the court. Mr. Kintzing then informed Hunter that it was known he wanted to extort money under false pretenses, and advised him to give up the matter as a bad job. Hunter, the coun selor says, left his office at once, and has not been heard from since. All this simply serves to throw light on wbat follows. On Thursday night, while Mr. Wight and two ladies were returning from some place of amusement to their home in Madison square, they were followed by two men so cioseiy mat tne men were at the top of the front steps almost as soon as themselves, and managed to force their way into the bouse when the door was opened. Thev boldlv followed the ladies and gentleman up stairs to tne second noor. una of tne men took his station at the head of the stairs, the other followed Mr. Wight into the parior. ue asked if Mr. Wight was in. Mr. Wight denied himself, as he mentioned. He finally came to the conclu sion that it would be better to acknowledge nis identity at once, ine man then said: - "i am uoiasmitn. or .fern." Mr. wicht - said he did not have the pleasure of his to know what object brought him to his house at that hour. Goldsmith, or whoever he was, said he called in connection with a stock account of a year ago, wherein he lost . heavily. Wight reminded him that that account had been closed in September, 1378. - Vroldsmith then began to act in an incoherent manner. He stormed about the room, pro-C-'niming his wrongs at the hands of brokers and lottery men. He had laid himself open, he said, to a long term in the State prison for his offenses in the West, all tor tne purpose of supplying money to Eastern speculators, and his bondsmen wanted him to get some of his lost money back. Other brokers with whom he had done business bad returned some of his money, and he could not understand . why Wight A Co. could not mak a - rebatement of . $500 An their account. If they would, there would be.no further trouble in regard to the contracts. Wight was utterly opposed o , . acceding to this - proposition, for- ' the reason, as he claimed, . that the "deals" were all fair and had been .'settled tip. The alleged Goldsmith there in pon said: "That man at the head of the - stairs is an officer. He has a warrant, signed dt -Justice imay, for tout arrest on criminal charge, and Superintendent Walling - and Detective Shelley are outside to see tbat it is enforced, Acoede or be arrested," Mr. Wight said it was not a case for criminal prosecution, even if there were any founda tion for it, and called for the production of the warrant. The man at the head of the stairs cam) forward and showed a policeman's shield, but he could not find the warrant. Goldsmith told him to go out and get it. The man was gone a minute or two. Mr, Wight says, and returned with the document,

which bore all the emblanoe of genuineness. The charge was that Wight' fc Co. had swindled Goldsmith oat of $1,300. Bather

than endure the personal and professional disgrace of an arrest on a criminal charge, Mr. Wight says he agreed to pay the $500 on consideration that the warrant should be burned ap in his presence, and that he should not be subjected to anv further annoyance. This was perfectly satisfactory to Goldsmith. Wight drew his check on tne Learner Manufacturers' bank, payable to bearer, and Goldsmith lit a match and set fire to the warrant When it was nearly all consumed he dropped it on the hearth and Mr. Wight stamped out the blaze in time to save an important corner of the document. Goldsmith and bis partner then oepartea. and Mr. Wight called on Counselor Kintzing, who advised him to stop the check before the bank opened in the morning. This was done, and Mr. Wight and his clerk watched for the man who was to make the presenta tion. The bank opened at 10, and at 1U Detective Shelley appeared before its doors. A few minutes after 10 the check was presented and payment refused on the ground that it had been obtained lor irauauient purposes. The man hastily left the bank, followed by Mr. Wight's clerk, but he speedily evaded the latter and disappeared in Nassau street. Mr. Kintzing visited Justice Duffy, at Essex Market police court, and asked him if he had issued any such warrant as the one shown to Mr. Wight, by the socalled Goldsmith. He emphatically denied ever having heard of any such case, and said he would give $500 to find out the man who forged his name. He ordered an officer of the Court squad to proceed to the bank, but it was then too late to do any good, Superintendent Walling was again notified, and the conduot of his detective is to be invesa gated, and search made for the forgers. Tilden the Republican Candidate. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Our venerated contemporary, the Republi can, becomes positively youthful and en thusiastic when it speaks about Mr. Tilden. This morning it draws the following highly imaginative picture: "There is something in tne picture or tms mature and illustrious statesman, at the summit of an honorable and useful career. persistently assailed on all sides, made the victim of the greatest fraud in history and followed in his every movement by a hooting mob of petty critics, always stern, resolute and unreplying, undeviating from his chosen path, that is at once inspiring and melancholy inspiring as an exhibition of strong manhood and heroic endurance ana seitrestraint, and melancholy because it is impossible to separate from the spectacle of his assailants a sad reflection on the tendencies of party spirit in our country. Such a thing is a national disgrace, and illustrates the animus of a party whose only bond of cohesion is lust for office, and which would willingly surrender the fame and honor of their country to secure a transient success." Now, this may all be very beautiful, but it is not true. The severe criticisms of Mr. Tilden's char acter do not come from Republican journals and leaders at alL They ceased soon after the cipher telegram exposures, which, it was generally thought, disposed of Mr. Tilden forever. On the contrary, no careful observer of the times can fail to perceive that the entire current of Republican feeling is favorable to Mr. Tilden's nomination Intelligent readers of Republican newspa pers will very soon observe that they have suspended all abuse of Mr. Tilden, and only speak of his great power, shrewdness and wealth, and the absolute certainty of his renomination. Why is this? Because the wish is father to the thought. And why do they wish it? Because they feel certain of their ability to defeat Mr. Tilden feel certain that from the moment of his nomination to the last moment of the election they would be in the offensive and drive the opposition into the defensive feel certain that the Demo crats would be kept so busy defending the character and record of their standard-bear er, cipher telegrams, railroad schemes, income tax suit, etc., etc., that they wonld have no chance to press their own issues or make people believe that Tilden would really represent reform and purer methods in politics. On the other hand, why is it that nearly the entire Democratic party is opposed to Mr. Tilden's renomlnation? Why is it that all the Democratic leaders. including such men as Horatio Seymour, Kernan, Bayard, Thurman, Hendricks, Hancock, Blackburn, Beck, Lamar, Gordon, Pendleton, Wade Hampton, Vest, Morrison, in fact, nearly every solitary Democratic member of Congress, all oppose, and most bitterly oppose, the very thought of Mr. maen's nomination. Now, it is not true that this opposition is due to personal feeliDg. If we can judge from our own esse, this opposition is due to the feeling that Mr. Tilden is to-day not the best representative of Democracy, and next, that he can not be elected. For our own part we exceedingly regret to be compelled to use the plain language about Mr. Tilden which we do use. If he were net a candidate we Bhould not say one unkind word about him. If he were to withdraw from the scheming for the nomination be might even regain the ever generous heart of the party. Bat as long as he is in the field threatening to obtain a nomination which will lead the party to still greater disaster than in 1S76, we are forced to resist. The fact is patent that Tilden is the unanimous choice of the Republicans. And they hope for his nomination because they tkink that he is the easiest person to be defeated. Hunting a Bear that Was Famous In 1854. San Francisco Chronicle. Arrangements have been made by the Sierra Valley Shooting club for a bear hunt in the vicinity of Weber lake, to commence September 15 and continue six days.. A circular issued by the club states that bears are very numerous In that section this year, and furthermore that deer, quail and grouse are abundant. Not far from the lake is the home of "Old Bruin," the largest grizzly bear in America, and "weighing about 2,000 pounds." He was caught by Grizzly Dave at his ranch on the Henness Pass rood in 1854, but tore the trap to pieces and made his escape. In case the bear is captured the club propose having a grand barbecue, and if he isn't caught they will use some less eminent member of the bear famiiy. Attacked by Three Panthers. San Saba News. At midnight, a short time since, an old man named Wiley Frazer was watching a watering place for deer, when he was attacked by three large and ferocious panthers. He discharged the contents of his well-loaded gun through the body of the- foremost panther. At this the others checked and set up such cries that they alarmed the dogs of the neighborhood, and 15 gathered to the spot. The fight lasted for a considerable time, but the yells of the dogs and enoouraging shouta of Wiley awoke the citizens, who arose en masse and gathered with guns in their hands and frightened the wearied panthers, causing them to flee.

YAZOO HEARD FROM.

Congressman Manning Claiming That the Trouble Was Exceptional. Special to the Philadelphia Times. Washihgtoh, Sept 3. Colonel Van H. Manning, who represents the Holly Springs district ot Mississippi in Congress, is in town, and to-day submitted to an interview. Colonel Manning is one of the most prominent Democrats of the South, and it is safe to say that he thoroughly represents the sentiment of his party in the State of Mississippi at least the sentiment which Mississippi Democrats desire to appear to hold. In answer to a somewhat pointed inquiry, Colonel Manning said that he was here strictly on private business, having left Mississippi about a week ago. "What of the campaign there, colonel?" was the question. 'The campaign is decidedly active throughout the State." "Between what parties is it?" "It is between the Democrats, the regular organization and the Independents and Greenbackers. Sometimes these act together, but generally they are not united. The struggle is for local and legislative offices. The next Legislature is charged with the duty of electing a successor to Senator B. K. Bruce, who will then retire to his alleged Kansas farm." "Are tne independents, to wmcn party l believe the late Mr. Dixon Deiongea, meeting with bodily violence, colonel?" Far from that, sir. They are actively contesting every county in my district I nave been meeting their candidates and ora tors on the stump everywhere and dividing tne time witn tnem. ine canvass is conducted everywhere with great courtesy and lairness on doio siaes. "WelL" was the response, "if that is true. will you kindly explain the motive of the Vaxoo difficulty?" "The Yazoo county afiair is strictly excep tional and has no parallel in any other county in the State. The issues involved in that sad business were of a purely personal nature. When I left Mississippi the matter was looked upon as a sort of De YonngKalloch affair. This was due, of course, to Barksdale's letter to his uncle, intimating tbat tne snooting was tne result of Dixon's attack upon female members of Barksdale's family." "What was the attitude of the Democracy of the State toward this unfortunate affair, colonel?" "Why, sir, for the last four years the criminal records of Mississippi will compare favorably, take them county for county, with those of any Northern State. Per capita, there have been fewer felonies committed in our State during those four years than in the great States of New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio. The canvass now progressing there is being carried on with quite as little turbulence as that in the State ot Maine. Since the enfranchisement of Mississippi from carpet-bag rule, which occurred in 1875, law, order and protection to life and property have prevailed to quite as great an extent as obtained before the war." "What do you think of Woodford's mission?" "Oh! that is supremely ridiculous. I thought, and was in hopes, that the object of his trip was to participate in the prosecution, but it turns out that he has gone as an escort to Mrs. Chisbolm. I regret that his business as United States district attorney for the Southern district ot New York is such as to permit such a draft on his leisure as a trip to Mississippi at this season of the year, simply as an escort to Mrs. Chisholm I will enter into bonds that the general will have no use for the pistols with which he is reported to haye been presented by Admiral Thompson, of the navy." "Bat let us return to the Yazoo difficulty, colonel. Wbat is the sentiment of your party concerning it?" "The sentiment of Mississippi, without regard to party, is decidedly adverse to the methods employed to secure Dixon's withdrawal, and that sentiment can be inferred from the fact that on the very day of the assassination the Independent party nominated candidates for office who are now running with a fair prospect of success. The condition of affairs there, as I said in the outset, is exceptional." Advertising Cheats. It has become so common to write the beginning of an elegant, interesting article, and then run it into some advertisement, that we avoid all such cheats, and simply call attention to the merits of Hop Bitters in as plain, honest terms as possible, to induce people to give them one trial, as no one who knows their value will ever use anything else. Stringent Uvt Regulating Ohio Life Insurance Companies. Ohio Life Insurance companies can now only invest their funds in first mortgage upon real estate, worth double the amount loaned thereorf, exclusive of buildings, in Government bonds, and in loans upon their own policies not exceeding the reserve value thereof, and must possess a sufficient amount of resources, with the low rate of 4 per cent, interest to meet their obligations when they mature. The superinten lent must annually examine every Ohio Life Insurance company, and see that they possess the necessary investments, and that they are legally made. The laws of Ohio also provide that after three annual payments have been paid upon a lite policy, in case of death the company shall be estopped from defending itself by reason of any errors, omissions or mis statements in the application except as to age or fraud, which in effect makes Ohio policies incontestable after three annual payments have been made. No other State is so strict in regard to the safety of its policy-holders. The Union Central Life Insurance company, of Cincinnati is the largest Ohio insurance company, and confines its loans to policy-holders and largely among farmers. It is an institution which is entirely trustworthy, and managed by gentlemen of high standing and large business experience. Messrs. H. B. Palmer fc Co., 18 East Market street, Indianapolis, Ind., represent this company. SPECIAL NOTICES. lightning Strikes a Printing Office.
