Potter Palmer was bom iu 1826 in
Potter’s Hollow, Albany County, N.
Y. He received a common school ed
ucation. and at the age of 18 engaged
as clerk in a stort at Durham, N. Y.,
where he remained three years. When
he became of age he opened a store
of his own at Oneida, N Y. and con
ducted it for two years. He after
ward spent one year at Lock port, N.
Y., and then removed to Chicago,
where be established a dry goods firm.
Th’s firm afterward beoame Field,
Palmer & Leiter. of which the other
members were Marshall and Field
and Levi Z. Liter, and which has
been succeeded by the firm of Mur
ehul Field & Co.
The sharp advance in the price of
goods after the beginning of the civ
il war fonud the firm prepared with
a large stock, and it reaped immedi
ate gains from every a'vauce. Mr.
Palmer retired from mercantile life
in 1865, and sc, liberal had been his
policy iu meeting public requirements
during the war that the Government
was indebted to him to the extent of
*750.000
On disposing of bis drv goods inter
ests Mr. Palmer invested largelv in
Chicago real estate and began the
erection of buisness building. When
the tire came in 1871 he owned 112 old
structures on State street, every one
of which was destroyed. His losses
were very heavy, bnt his faith in
Chicago was unshaken and he bor
rowed enough money to enable bim
to reconstrnct tbe buildings.
He had already commenced the con
struction of the Palmer House Hotel,
and after the fire the work of build
ings was resumed. It was completed
at a cost of *2,000,i 00 and reeulted in
the handsomest and most substantial
hotel in the country at that time.
His real estate holdings continued
to increase in value until to-dav his
fortune ib estimated at *25.000,000.
Mr. Palmer was innrried in 1871 to
Miss Bertha M. Honore. daughter of

The'first prisoner to go to jail to
await the action of the next grand

compelled to defend himself against a
charge for which many a nmn in the
“wild and wooly west" has paid his
life—horse theft.
Baker is charged with s'enliDg the
horse of Lankin Manikins on the 33rd
day of April, an account of which
robbr ry was * published in this paper
at the time. After he had stolen the
horse he clipped its tale and other
wise tried tc change its appearance
and then made a trade with Alfred
Mason, who lives on the mountain.
After effecting the trade Baber pro
ceeded-ou his new horse to his home
near GeraTdstown, bnt soon after ne
hRil arrived burnt the horse broke
away and went back to its former
home. By the return of the horse
Mr. Mason became tne possessor of
both horses. He was telling of his
good luek in a saloon in town the
other dav when some one spoke no
ana told him that his new horse was
a stolen horse.
In this way Hawkins learned the
wnereabouts of his Btoleu horse. He
regainea possession of bis horse and
Baker's arrest followed. He was
given a hearing before Justice Suv
der Mnuilav afternoon and held for'
the action of the next grand jury.

There are 150 idle boats along the

aneake and Oh’o canal at Cumber
land as the result of the strike of the
boatmen. The coal company has so
far refused to grant the advance from
70 to 80 cents a ton demanded bv the
men, who claim that owing to the
advance in the price of feed and food
products since last vear, the increase
they nsk is absolutely necessary in or
der that they may make a living.
Tbe average load in a canal boat is
about 116 tons and the boatman gets

A DOCTOR ARRESTED.
Hr Attempted to Oet Idem** for « Young
Mao By Taking Kxamluotton for
Him, Bat Was Canglit
Dr. S. N. Mvere has jnst returned
from Parkersburg, where he attended
a meeting of the State Medical Board,
of which he is president. Just before
leaving Parkersburg for home the Dr.
was one of the leaders in bringing ,to
light a fraudulent scheme to secure
for a vnuna medical student a license
to practice in Went Virginia.
The investigation instituted by the
members of the board resulted in the
arrest in Parkersburg of Dr. Thomas
H. Maeness. a demonstrater in chem
istry at the Baltimore University
Medical School and a well known
young physician in that city. Mag
noss ^ook an examination before the
board for a license to practice and
gave the name of David K. Shepier.
of Belle Vernoiff P»., who is a stu
dent iu the third year at the Balti"
mure University Medical School A
member of the board happened to
know Shenler. When he saw the man
who gave his name as Shepier he
knew there was some scheme on hand.
His excellent work attracted the no
tice of the examiners, who instituted
au investigation'resulting in the dis
ci osnre of the scheme.
lilt imuu wiiivii iUDKii'-pn umouiw*
erl to perpetrate is one that is not
new to the medical profession, al
though it- was never before, to the
knowledge of the members, attempt
ed on the present West Virginia
board.
Magness in confessing threw him
self on the leniency of the members
of the board. The chances are, how
ever that he wlil be complleed to
pay the penalty of the law. The pen
alt v for forgery is from one to ten
years in the penitentiary aud the pen
alty for false swearing one year in
jail and the payment, of a tine not ex
ceeding $1, 000.
Magness pleaded gulity to the
charge of forgery and to that of false
ly making oath and threw himself on
the mercv cf the court. He appealed
to the members of the State Board cf
Healrb to witdbraw the charge
against him. promising to take the
first train out of the State He was
informed that the charge conld not
bo withdrawn as if was one of felony
aud was in the hands of the prosecu
ting attorney
Acting on advice that he secure le
gal advice, he sent, for a lawyer.
After a consultation with an attor
uev, his plea was changed to that of
not guiltv. He waived examination
and was hound over to await the ac
tion of the grand jury, in the sum of
$500. He was placed in ja'l but later
gave bond aud has relumed to his
home in Boltimore.
It is the intention to push the
charge and. if possible, to have Mag
ness wutt'er to the fullest extent >f
the law. The charge is believed to
be a very serious one aud it is the
intention to make an example of
Magness that others will not attempt,
to follow bis example.
