By TIiIh Man. William Butcher Got
.Money From n. Bank.
William II Butcher, twenty-one years
old and will known about town, was ar
rested yebtcrday afternoon by Detectives
Boardman and Rhodes and locked up at
No. G station-house, charged with ob
taining money under false pretenses.
Butcher was an UPher at tho Academy
ot Music, and it is alleged that ho forged
tho name of It. D. Hawell, the head
usher, to a note for $100 and had it
cashed at the Ohio National Bank, where
Mr Hawell was known.
A telephone message was sent to tho
bank, claiming to come from Mr Hawell,
and stating that tho note was all right,
so when it was presented by a messenger
the bank sent the money, as they sup
posed, to Hawell. It was received by
Butcher, however, and he is said to have
spent It on the races.
He was held at headquarters while an
effort was made to secure bond, but when
this was not forthcoming ho was locked
up at No. C station-house, and will have a
bearing in the police court this morning.

Money Sharks at the Navy'Yard
Charge Twenty Per Cent,
AMPLE EVIDENCE AT HAND
Pay Term Coining: Twice a Month
tho Fleecing Process Is Curried
on Accordingly Interest nntl Half
tho Principal T;xncted on the Fif
teenth nnd Last Day of. Month.
Shylocklsni has run mad, and Shylocks are
rioting and feasting at tho expense of the
blood nnd brawn and muscle of ttie labor
ers at theNavy Yard. These money-lenders
arc exactly a hundred per cent, worse than
the people who have so recently been ex
posed to the condemnation and hcom of the
public and the adverse verdict of a jury.
There wasa kindoi iemi-of f icia It cut nation
of this money-robbing game not long ago
at the Navy Yard, which in some sense led
to the dismissal of the borrower and the
money-lender. The latter loaned a boy
Inthegoveriimentscrvji-ehomeiiioney One
p.iv day there was a demand made for it.
The boy could not or would not pay it.
There was a quarrel, in which the boy used
some very gross and insulting language
to the money lender The boy was dis
missed, but it l.s .said among the emplojci
thaL tliecauseof the quarrel became known
and that in a Tew daj s the money lender re
signed USURY OT TIIE WORST SORT.
But there are others uoiv plyiug the
trade amoug the emplojoes of the Navy
Yard, and IT it Is nt all against the law
the olfieers of the Navy Vuid cau easily
obtain all the evidence they want Money
lending may be all right In a proper way,
but when it come.s to ten pei oentu month
borrowers begin to otagger as in the
Shylock company c.ies The Navy i'.ird
hqueeers go the Shylock companies ten
percent better, and charge twenty per tent
a month that U one-fifth or the amount
borrowed
At the Navy Yard they arc paid off
twice a month If a mechanic or any
other workingman borrows say $10 for
a month, he pays $2 interest on it.
If he wants only 5 he tviII hate to pay
$1 tribute to the Shjlock All of the
amounts borrowed are small, but thero
is ample compensation in this from the
shameful tnteiest that? is charged
The manner of doing business is shrewd,
so that there is no accumulation of usuri
ous interest.
PAYABLE SEMI-MONTHLY.
Sometimes the interest and half of the
principal is pajable on the 15th of the
month nnd rest on the last day of the
month. Tho workmen say that the Shy
locks occasionally lose by the discharge
of the eniplojes, but tho percentage of
dismissals or resignations is ho email,
compared to the numbers who are in the
hands of the lenders, that the money loss
is inappreciable.
Several of the employes gave The Times
yesterday the names of fcomc of these
Sh locks and explained thoroughly the
manner in winch they hate borrowed
money and paid this confiscating Interest.
Two of the emplojes said that there has
lieeii a suspicion in the minds ot the men
that tho mone j -lenders had somebody
bigger than themselves behind them.
This opinion has been materially changed
by the result of the recent quarrel, as
above given.
BUSINESS CARRIED ON SECRETLY.
The business goes on secretly, and it is
only till some man squeals that the thing
comes out, but even then there is a
knowledge made public of only one case,
while there are hundreds behind it
It was also said that the lenders are more
careful now than heretofore, having become
convinced that an exposure might be ex
pected It is very certain that had the
emplojes spoken out earlier the high-class
Shjlocks might have gone out of the busi
ness, and a place made for lenders on legal
terms ot interest But as it is, there will
be a sudden decline in the business after
the 15th of the present month
These Shjloeks are just as amenable to
the Jaw asthecompaniesrecentlj advertised
so unpleasantly to them and profitably to
the people by The Times Cases against
them may be expected to be brought, which
will give a public washing of their dirty
linen of finance at the Navy Yard.

A great many people as well asphysicJans
make an error in calling every stray pain
"rheumatics." It is bad enough itself,
but many diseases even more serious are
treateil under this head, when by proper
treatment, they might be cured.
Among those whom Dr. Walker has cured
of this disease may 1)6 mentioned Mr. Tred.
Roesslcr, of 332 McLean avenue.
He suffered for jears with this dread
disease. He had swelling of the Joints,
severe pain every time the w eather changed,
became weak, debilitated and worn from
suffering and loss of sleep. Dr. Walker
cured him, as he has cured many others, and
can cure you.

MONEY AT ONE PER CENT
New. Loan Association Will Proba
bly Come Into Being To-day.
Scheme ot n Boston Concern That
Lends on Valuables I'ut on Deposit.
Mr. Slddons "Will Kepoit
A special meeting of the committee on
the new Loan Association hau been called
for to day at 1 15 p m , at the office of
Messrs Palston & Slddons. It is expected
that Col John Tr.ucy, superintendent of
public UiarJUes, will be present at the
meeting.
The special object of the conference this
afternoon is to bear the report to he made
by Mr. Slddons on the question of the In
corporation of the company. He said jes
day that in all probability he would rec
ommend the incorporation under the Jans
of Virginia.
Mr. I L Moore, of the committee, has
received from New York the plan of opera
tion aud other methods of the Provident
Loan Society of that city. This he has
transmitted to the committee on plans, of
which Mr August Donath Is chairman. Al
though he has not fully considered it, or
made any recommendation concerning it,
-Mr Donath gave a brief sketch ot the as
sociation, which Is as, follows.
"This corporation was chartered to
loan money upon pledgd.like pawnbrokers,
and lis uniform charge for interest is 1
per cent a month. It loans only on prop
erty that is placed in its keeping, and does
not apparently supplRthe needs of those bor
row en w ho, having jewelry or other valua
bles to place In pawn, desire to borrow on
household furniture.
"The Loan Society 1s composed of a num
ber of wealthy men, has a paid up capital
of $100,000, and employ In addition some
$40,000 borrow ed money The amount ot
loans outstanding at the date of report was
$129,733 50, and the urgent need of more
capital in order to accommodate the
steadily-increasing demand, was empha
sized i. The number of contributors to the
capital stock is thirty fie, and the amount
of stock held by sixteen is $5,000 each;
there are two stockholders iutenMed to the
amount of $2,000 each;fif teen haveinvestcd
SI, 000 each, and two hold $500 each of the
stock. It is expected that the earningb of
the business will pay all operating expenses
and 6 percent, on the capital stock.
"It is interesting to note that among the
stockholders are such well-known capitalists
as George T. Baker, Robert W De Torest,
"William E Dodge, II C. Fahnestock, Seth
Low, J Pierpont Morgan, Oswald Ot
tendorfer, James Speyer, Cornelius Van
derbilt, August Belmont and others "
The final arrangements will probably lie
made at to day's meeting for tiie lnnuching
of the enterprise Those interested in it
declare that there can be no possible reason
why the scheme cannot be carried out
rapidly to a successful realization
Hishwny Bobber and Snatch Thief.
Joseph Miller, colored, appeared In Judge
Miller's court with two serious charges of
larceny from the person (highway robbery)
and the larceny of $2 from twelve-year-old
Lillienarrlsagamst him.
It was alleged in the first case that Miller
met Cornelia Henderson, a small white
girl, who had been to a store to have a bill
changed, and holding the child by the throat
tore the money from her hand. In that case
the defendant was held in $1 ,000 bail for
the grand jury.
In the petit larceny case Miller met the
little Harris girl in the street and snatched
a $2 bill from her hand. He was given
six mouths in jail

John O'Connell, a resident of the "West
End, Imbibed freely on the night of the
Fourth, and it was in tho early morning
hours when he tried to navigate through
tho rain and flood toward his home.
"Weariness overtook him, unfortunately,
nnd on Pcunsjlvanla acnue and Twentieth

Officer McDamcls happened along, and

TO PUT ON
needed flesh, no mat
ter how you've lost
it, take Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Dis
covery. It works
wonders. By restor
ing the normal ac
tion of the deranged
organs and functions,
it builds the flesh up
to a safe and healthy
standard promptly,
pleasantly and nat
urally. The weak,
emaciated, thin, pale
i ana puny are made
strong, plump, round and rosy. Noth
ing so effective as a strength restorer
and flesh maker is known to medical sci
ence; this puts ou healthy flesh not the fat
of cod liver oil and its filthy compounds.
It rouses every organ of the body to ac
tivity, purifies, enriches aud vitalizes
tnti blood so that the body feels refreshed
aud strengthened. If 'you are too thin, too
weak, too nervous, it may be that the food
assimilation is at fault.- A certain amount
of bile is necessary for" the reception of-the
fat foods in the blood. Too often the liver
holds back this element which would help
digestion. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery stimulates, tones up and invig
orates the liver, nourishes the blood, and
the muscles, stomach and nerves get the
rich blood they require.

something in regard to the shooting of Moy
Ah Sing Thursday night. Thero wcro
representatives or both factions of China
town residents, and one side swore against
tho other. Moy All Sing's friends testify
ing that Moy T. Chew shot him, while tho
adherents of Moy F. Chew were equally
positivo that the former shot himseir.
The wound in Ah Sing's leg did not pre
vent him from appearing in court yester
day moining, and he told his story or tho
aflair. In plaintive pigeon English he de
clared that he is a non-union laundrj man,
and that in order to support his wife and
little boy ho does work at cut rates. This
has enraged the union Chinamen, and they
determined to rid themselves ot him. To
