“GREEN GOODS” POPULAR.

Men in High Flacco Said to Have Be* Negotiating. The decision at Washington in regard to would-be purchasers of “green goods” promises to result sensationally. Inquiry at the office df Inspector J. P. Johnson Tuesday, developed the fact that in a total of 1,800 names in the possession of the office are number of prominent men. Leading physicians, lawyers and prominent provisional and business men all over the United States, and particularly in Illinois. Missouri. Arkansas and Wyoming are known to be Included. It was also stated that letters applying for bogus money written by at least one ex-Cougressman. a candidate for Governor, and many federal and civic officials are in the bands of she authorities. The inspector, however, refused to give out the names of those against whom ba would make tost cases. This report comes from Osgood: Killian Dopp. proprietor of the Ripley House; owned a hog which ate a quart of nitroglycerine. The animal then wandered into Raw’s livery stable and was kicked by a hone. The blow exploded the nitroglycerine, blowing the hog to fragments and doing considerable damage to the stable. ’Tis said that big bristles were blown through a three-inch plank.
