THE ILLUSTRA-

GAZETTE'S TIONS.

The GAZETTE today contains an admirably written and excellently illustrated article on "Gettysburg Field" from the pen of gallant Gen. Dan Siokles. The other illustrations presented today are as follows: "The Chicago Races," "Pasteur in America,'t The French Exiles," "To Honor Washington, Monument to Commemorate the End, of the Revolution," ''Ex-President Arthur's Summer Hume," "Unaolving the Great Riddle," "One Painter's Home," "Sarah Bernhard'," "Boston's Beans," "Washington Gossip," "An Old Fashioned Father's Letter to a New Fangled Son" from Bill Nye and many others.

The Weekly Gazette.

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL O S E S The Brooklyn Eagle believes an understanding has been reached whereby Mr. Edmunds' shall be returned to the Senate and Mr. Blaine "shall have Mr. EdmundB cordial support, if re-nomin •iated in 1888." This arrangement, a correspondent of the Philadelphia Times who may be romancing says, is highly distasteful to Senator Logan. He is quoted as saying with emphasis: "Well, gentlemen, you may talk as much as you please about politics and say all the fine things about me you can, but it seems that I no longer count as a figure in politics. Thero is only one politician in the country.

He seems to know all about it and is running things to suithimself." "With this peroration, adds the correspondent" "the General resumed puffing at his pipe. TEere was a sensation an3 a calm. Each one looked at tlie 'other with an expression suggestive of interrogation. At last one of the party venturing upon an inquiry leading to more specific information, the General replied: "Certainly I refer to Mr. Blaine. Isn't he running the politics of the country just nr.w? Ana

England, tou, for that matter? I don't see that we nave anything to say." The remark of General Logan does not express Ms views alone. Senator Sherman is very much of the same opinion. His friends have been writing him from all parts of the country advising him of the. movement toward the rehabilitation of the old Blaine forces for he campaign of 1888."

The drift of all the present sentiment as reflected by the Republican press is that the Plumed Knight will again be fthe Republican nominee. Blaine is as plucky as he is brilliant, but the mugwumps all say they will beat him again if he runs.

SENATORIAL FEES.

No report has as yet been made by rthe Senate judiciary committee to which was referred the Beck resolution forbidding Senators, among other things, from acting as attorneys for land '-grant railroads. It is safe to say that the resolution will be throttled in the committee of which Edmunds and Evarts are the chief figures. It is probable also that these two distinguished Sena torial lawyers are culpable in this very matter whioh Senator Beok proposes by his resolution to correct. That the resolution ought to pass is as certain as that it will be strangled in committee.

There is hardly a single railroad in all the country which was built in part by a grant of public land that has exactly complied with all the provisions of the law making the land grant. With most of them a common provision was that the railroad should be finished by a given time in order to obtain the land. In a vast number of instances that provision has not been fulfilled, Frequently little or no effort was made to com,ply with it. And yet the land was absorbed and is held with a tenacity as

great as its acquirement was wrongful. But to forfeit these "gobbled" lands requires or has seemed to requite Congressional aotion. To prevent such adverse legislation the land grant railroads have suddenly discovered that they require the legal services of distinguished senators. Retainers offered and accepted but the legal services, in the strict sense of the word,are never asked for and never rendered. As a matter of fact it was the senator and not the lawyer that was hired and it was a vote not a brief that was paid for. ,,

The practice is an utterly pernicious one and ought to be rooted out at all hazards.

THE JOINT REPRESENTATI\ E Mr. Beasley, the Democratic candidate for joint representative of Vigo, Vermillion and Sullivan oounties, is a lawyer of more than ordinary ability and success. The statement that there is any dissatisfaction in Vermillion county over the defeat of Mr. Lacy is from Republican sources exclusively One might be lead from the a6counts to believe that Vermillion is to have no representative at all, because she failed to secure the extra joint representative Eaoh of the three counties had a candidate for joint representative and Vigo and Sullivan had candidates for Congress. Mr. Joseph H. Blake, seeing that if Vigo secured the congressman,

IT looks now as though the Gladstonians and Paanellites are not only beaten^ but badly beaten, at the polls by the Conservative and Unionist coalition. The Pall Mall Gazette (Conservative) thus jubilates in its issue of yesterday: "The Liberal defeat is now degenerating into & rout. Yesterday's defeits assumed the proportions of a catastrophe."

Up to last night the Conservative and Unionist vote amounted to 942,437 Gladstonian and Parnellite, 884,728, giving the former 302 and the latter 195 representatives. It is not thought possible, however, that the Conservatives can act independently of the Unionists, who may be very troublesome allies. Mr. Gladstone, it is said, is not iliscouraged and proposes to Wage unremitting battle in Parliament.

name as candidate for joint representative. This left Mr. Beasley, of Sullivan, and Mr. Lacy, of Vermillion,, in the field and as the Democratic vote in Sullivan is muoh larger than the Democratic vote in Vermillion, and on that account more entitled to the extra rep. resentative, and moreover as Sullivan had not asked for a congressman at all, Mr. Beasley was nominated. All talk about Vermillion being "snubbed" is nonsense. Had it been otherwise the same would have been said, and with more emphasis, about Sullivan. Mr. Lacy, on his part acted very handsomely. He said he was disappointed, but that no one Would work harder than he for his successful cival, Mr. Beasley. 1,

VALUATION OF PROPERTY. The appraisement of property throughout the state for the purpose of taxation has been finished and complete reports have been received from all but the two counties of Marion and Floyd. For these ninety counties, and the other two will only emphasize the same point, the result is surprising. Since the last appraisement six years ago there has been a net decrease in valuation in these ninety counties of $45,598,622. For the whole state the reduction will be attnost fifty million dollars. This is a startling decrease of valuation during six years in a growing state like Indiana where the population is constantly increasing and improvements of all sorts being made. Farm lands have decreased nearly twenty-one million, town lots and improvements nearly three and a half millions, and -personal property over twenty-one million. Farm land in the assessment six years ago averaged $14.35 per acre and the improvements $3.25, while now the land is assessed at $13.50 and the improvements at $2.84. Last year the total valuation of property in which taxes were assessed was nearly nine billion dollars. Wealth has really increased in the state but the valuation which men have put upon their possessions has diminished in the presence of the assessors. That is about all there is to it.

A JOCKEY'S JUICY JOB. Hitherto college professors, ministers and salaried men generally have looked with envy on the career of the base ball player. These lilies of the valley who toil not neither do they spin, have been getting any where from $1,500 to $4,000 a year for playing while their less fortunate brethren have worked the whole year round for a pittance whioh has been beggarly in comparison with their lordly incomes. But now the Base Ball Barons must take retired pews in the synagogue. They are no longer the accupants of the glittering peaks of human happiness. Like Ichabod their glory has departed. Here for example is E. J. Murphy, a horse jockey and colored at that, who is earning $8,000 thisyear in his profession. He has been engaged by Lucky Baldwin, the California millionaire to ride his horses the ensuing season and he has offered him a salary of $10,000. In addition to this he can ride fur others when Baldwin has no horses entered at a given race and this will swell his income a couple of thousand more.

Just think of it! A dead head to all the races a traveler in a palatial way all over the country and the recipient of $12,000 for a summer season's pleasure. Clearly and plainly this sable Mr. Murphy has managed to secure a fat take in life's composing room. He may well be envied by his toiling brethren all over the country who would be glad to make $12,000 in twelve years or in a quarter of a century.

FOB a short tame yesterday the House discussed a resolution which requires the Secretary of the Treasury to pay

out in liquidation of the public debt all jnoney in the treasury in excess of $100,000,000. The resolution ought to pass and it' ought to be obeyed. Indeed that policy ought to be pursued without the adoption of a resolution. It is something worse than folly to keep idle' money in the treasury while the government is paying interest on its debts.

J. W. STOUT FOR COUNTY CLERK. In this issue Mr. J. W. Stout announces himself a candidate for county clerk, subject to the decision of the Democratic nominating convention, "Billy" Stout is one of those fortunate fellows who are born good ratured. His smiling face has a welcome for everybody. Nor is he one of those men who ask for office because he has failed in everything else. He is a natural gtocer and was one of the leaders in the trade when his rheumatism compelled htm to sell otit and go to the Springs. He is now with W. O. Patton and though he limps a little, is so dexterous with his hands, so well informed about the business, such a good salesman and has so many friends that he is an invaluable man. Should he get nomination there will be no fear about his running qualities. The political race is not always to the swift on foot.

PROHIBITIONISTS.

SHRINER'S ARREST.

The Members of the Street Railroad Company Not Satisfied With Turning: Him Loose.

Late yesterday afternoon at the instance of complaining stockholders of the Terre Haute Street Railway Company, Superintendent Lawlor swore out an affidavit before Justice Slaughter for the arrest of Jno. T. Shriner, embezzling superintendent, and the following warrant was issued:

STATE WABBAXT.

THH STATE OF INDIANA, •'1 VIGO COUNTY, To Edward Vandever,'.Special Constable of

Vigo County: Yon are hereby commanded to -arrest John Shriner and bring him forthwith before tne at my office, to answer to the charge of having at said county, on or aboat the 10th day of July 1886, unlawfully, feloniously and fraudulently taken, purloined, embezzled, secreted ana appropriated to nis own use, money belonging to the Terra Haute Street Railway Company as Michael D. Lawlor has complained on oath, and have then and there thus writ.

Thirteenth Day of July, A. D. 1886. This was placed in the hands of Capt. Vandever who with Sergeant Dwyer, went to Shriner's house, 453 north Ninth street, where he found him preparing to leave town. Several friends were present. He was arrested and taken before Squire Slaughter. Mr. T. W. Harper acted as his attorney. Hi« bond was fixed at $1,000« Abner B. Stoner, bookkeeper at Townley Bros., Frank Miller, Superintendent of street railway stock, Charles T. Forrest all, head painter at the Vandalia shop, and Mrs. John T. Shriner were accepted as sureties and Shriner was released. His trial is set for 2 p. m. tomorrow.

Shriner now says that the company paid him his salary during the time he was sick. It was the intention of the directors at the next regular meeting to alse re-imburse him for his doctor's bill.

Owing to serious sickness in his family Mr. Lem Surrell, who acted for a time as Superintendent, was obliged yesterday to withdraw.

United retiring awhile.

The Prohibitionists of the States have no intention of from trasiness, at least not yet Out in Kansas they are holding a state convention and intend nominating a full state and congressional ticket and in many localities will doubtless put oounty tiokets in the field. In Massachusetts some 200 of them who- belong to the Republican party, met at Boston and read the riot act, so to speak, to the Republican party, demanding of it a declaration of uncompromising hostility to the saloon and the advocacy of the doctrine that the question of constitutional prohibition be submitted to the people. It is easy to predict what will be done. The Republican party will make its customary and tremendous effort to carry beer on one shoulder and water on the other. It may succeed in fooling the Prohibitionists, but the likelihood is that it will take,.a tumble and split itself up the back.

COUNTERFEITERS ARRESTED.

Thev Work a Bold Scheme But Are Arrested By The Police. From Saturday's Second Edition.

Last evening about 7 o'clock Sargeant Dwyer and Patrolman Murphy knocked at the door of Mr. B. J. Donaway's modest residenoe, No. 1324 north Seventh street Mr. Donaway was shown a circular the police had received last evening about 5 o'clock from the publishers of the "Cedar Rapids Detective" of Iowa, which offered to sell counterfeit money as perfect in appearance as real money. The circular was signed by B. J. Donaway and the Donaway called upon confessed having signed the communication. Thecircuwas printed on an instrument or lar press which is capable of producing many copies in a short time, The instrument was found in an adjoining room. It is a walnut box two feet long and about eight inches deep. Donaway said the press belonged to a young man by the name of W- M. Henry who had come from North Carolina about twelve days ago and was boarding with him. Henry was not in, but soon after arrived. Upon his arrival he was immediately placed under arrest by Sergeant Dwyer. He became, indignant,

but was

Boon

quieted. Tne patrol wagon wab telephoned for and Henry, the press and a trunk belonging to him were taken to headquarters. He was interviewed but was not very talkative and rather inclined to play innocent. Henry is a slenderly built young man apparently about 22 years of age. He wore a plain dark suit and is smooth shaven, He looks like a Sunday Sohool teacher. He was searched at headquarters and the following found upon his person $135 in money, a fine gold watch and chain, $3 in postage stamps and about $10 in fac simile confederate notes. There was also a lengthy clipping from the Rock Hill (S. C.) Herald.

The following is the form of the circular issued by the pair of swindlers: TERRE HAUTE, Ind., July, 1886.

DEAR SIR: Yours of recent date to hand, asking for samples, Ac. Now, I must say I was mistaken in you. If I hadthought you was a man who thought every one was trying to swindle you, I would not made you the offer I did, as I rarely ever send out less than $1,000 price $75 cash in advance. But in your case I suspended my usual rules, or in other wordp, I made an exception' in your case and offered to send you $100 for $10, or $300 for $25. This is the only full line of samples, such as you shoU'd have to commence with. No one who desires to engage in this business will let this chance sb'p without taking advantage of it. I can find ready sale for my goods at $75 for $1,000. There fore it would be foolish for me to send out samples gratuitously. So also, a man who is not willing to pay for his samples, is not worthy to be trusted in a business of such a pecular nature, and unless I required ay in advance for samples, I would* have children, and even idiots handling the goods. It is useless to argue further' as a man of ordinary sense, can readily see, that it would be very unsafe, as well as detrimental to the business, to send out free samples. If you want to make money rapidly I advise you to send on $25 and get $300. If you don't raise send on $10 and get $100 and commence business at once. Should you conclude to engage send on whatever amount you desire to invest either in a common letter, a Registered letter, or a check on the National Bank, and the goods will be promptly forwarded by return mail. Trusting you may consider the statements here in mentioned, and be favorably impressed. I am

Yours Sincerely

B. J. DONAWAY, A'

1324 itfrth Seventh street,

v* I Terre Haute Ind. P. S.—Avoid mistakes by returning this letter with your order, so I can see that I made you the above special offer,

In the trunk was found four suits of clothes which heprobably kept to disruise himself. There were also several letters etc.

Donaway, on account of his crippled condition, was not arrested but was allowed to remain home and will be closely watched. He was formerly employed at the Keyes' Hub and Spoke Factory and during the fire in 1880 was badly injured whicb |vaulted in his limbs becoming paralyzed. He heard of this man's scheme and wrote to him to come here. The men flooded the entire west with circulars as above printed and one of them fell into the hands of the publisher of the Cedar Rapids Detective with the above result. From a clipping from the Rock Hill (S. C.) Herald it was seen that he was detected in the scheme here by the postmistress. He stated he came there to engage in the mercantile business and his quiet actions and ^aversion for society aroused suspicion. He rented a lock box in the. postoffice in the nan&e of W. M. Smith and a week later rented another box ostensibly for a friend bearing the name of J. J. Smith. He received the key for Smith's box. A large amount of mail was.daily received for Smith and was always taken out in the night. And as the postmistress had never seen Smith the payment for the rental of the box always being found in a letter, she concluded that the maite were being used for fraudrlent purposes, and her opinions were strengthened when she saw the following advertisement in several papets. %r

GREENBACKS—$10 invested returns $100 in 10 and 20 dayflL Address Box 83, Rock Hill, 8. C.

The postal authorities were notified and they succeeded in ferreting out the scheme by writing test letters to J. J. Smith. He was arraigned for trial and was bound over to the court in the sum of $1,000. Not being able to secure ulation, and are not irritating in their

bail he deposited that amount and was released on his own recognizance. He fled from Rock Hill forfeiting his $1,000 and came here where engaged in the business with B. J. Dopaway. Upon inquiring at the postoffice it was learned that a large amount of mail was received by the firm.

Sergeant Dwyer called at Donaway's house this morning and found a valise with two gold watches and other articles. The books of the firm were also found and it was seen that from one "sucker" $590,00 was obtained.

The charges against the men are for using the United States .mails for fraudulent purposes.

HOW THEY WORKED IT.

Advertisements similar to the one above are placed in papers that are likely to reach suckers and are rewarded with hundreds of letters of inquiry by persons who want to make $100 for $10. They inclose to their. address one of their printed circulars as published and receive in reply letters containing money whioh they pocket and ay no further attention to the matter, ihould a man call personally he is asked to produce his money and then the swindler counts out the sum the sucker desires to purchase which is genuine money and puts it in an envelope. He distracts the sucker's attention and substitutes a similar package containing paper and puts it in the man's valise tiling him not to look at it until he gets home.

The swindling scheme had not been in operation here but a few days when the police swooped down upon the men and broke it up. The police deserve much credit for putting a stop to such a scheme as has oeen in operation here. It appears that Henry has been doing all tee crooked work under Donaway's name.

From Monday's dolly.

The swindling scheme of Messrs. Henry and Donaway was "nipped in the bud" before it had got fairly startecT. From the account books of the firm it was seen that they began to issue circulars July 2nd and continued upa to the time of their arrest. During the seven days 992 ciroulars were sent. Postmaster Regan received Saturday from 9 man by the name of Gross living at Beever, Ontario county,-Canada, a letter containing one of the circulars sent him by Henry & Donaway and the envelope in which it was sent. Gross said he wasn't a sucker and returned the circular to Postmast^: Regan for investigation. Mr. Regan gave the letter to Superintendent Lawlor and it will be used as evidence against him. Henry & Donaway received a $10 postal note for sous a of the greenbacks. They are daily in receipt of letters of inquiry regarding their money making scheme. One writer said that he "had a great deal of experience in that line of business and could tell good stuff when he saw it." He thought he could use about $3,000 during the fall fairs. On© business man writes that he "could use it in his business." It would appear to the average citizen that persons who want to use counterfeit money are worse swindlers than the men who have it for sale. The man who sends out the circulars does not have any counterfeit greenbacks but nockets the maney when he receives it. simply swindles suckers who intend to pass counterfeit money.

There seems to be a large number of such swindling schemes now in operation. Saturday Dr. Ballew, the well known dentist, received a circular from T. J. Butler, 18 West Third street, New York, offering counterfeit greenbacks for sale. The doctor is at a loss to know how they got his addiess. He promptly turned it over to Supt. Lawlor. Mr. Wm. Poths, the popular carriage man, also received a circular similar to the one Dr. Ballew received. He handed it to Supt. Lawlor,who will probably send both to the authorities for investigation. The following was received by Mr. Poths:.

NEW YORK, 1886.
