SAYS HE IS A CHILD OF GOD Under That Alias a New Yorker Is Now Engaged in Raking in Immi grants' Money, An Expose Which Will Interest Foreign ers in the Northwest Who Have Jest Arrived. Dr. Cross Acquitted of Murder at Red Oak, 10., After Tears of Fighting in the Courts. The Mankato Encampment Proving a Highly Successful Affair—The Waseca Assembly. Special to the Globe. New Yokk, JulyS.— An exposure was made here to-day by the emigration commissioners which wili create some excitement among the thousands of for eigners who have made homes in Min nesota and the Northwest. Commis sioner Stephenson made a savage at tack upon the American Emigrant com pany, a sort of private savings inst tu tion at No. 90 State street. He said that he had been making an investiga tion of the company ami was convinced that it was a very bad thing. His at tention had been called to it by two men who said that they had dealt with the company and positively declared it to be a fraud. One of them said that he had several thousand dollars on deposit with the company, and when he called for it he could only obtain part of it in cash, the rest being given IN' MISSOURI BONDS. The advertisement of the company printed in the Western papers was read. It said: J The American Emigrant company solicit deposits of money at interest, ami the trans action of business generally of Philanders and there. Then Mr. Stephenson went on: This company had on deposit last January ($300,000 of immigrants' money. 1 think i"t is one of the keenest, shrewdest and smartest pieces of swindling saving bank concerns ever gotten up. The cohimissioneralso hauled another similar concern over the coals, it is kept by O. R. Sjostrom, at Nd. 27 State street.* When -the investigators called on Mr. Sjostrom he told them the nature of his business and how he accumulated a profit. He gave 8 per cent, interest on deposits and said he made it up from commissions on tickets, ■"•buying and making improvements. Commissioner Stephenson asked him what security he gave, and with an air of offended dig nity he said, "1 am A CHILD OF GOD. • Ido nothing wrong. When I die I expect to go to heaven." This the com missioners considered but lame evi dence. Mr. Stephenson went on: "Now this business has been carried on in Castle Garden for the past twenty years and no officers know anything about it. This is what I object to that the plaice over which we have control is made use of for this swindling business, for of course- we cannot control an emigrant's affairs or what he does with his money after he leaves the garden. The rea son I want to bring this matter before the board is this. I want the business of these people stopped. If any one went liefore the district attorney he could have these parties ail indicted for" fraud and obtaining money under false pretenses." The commissioners empowered Steph enson to bring the business of the cow many to the attention of the city author ities. Dr. Cross Goes Free. Special to the Globe. Red Oak, 10., July The jury in the Cross trial returned a verdict at 7:30 of not guilty. On the 24th day of Sep tember, lss;', Dr. XV. E. Cross shot and killed Dr. A. B. McUne on the street at Council Bluffs, for which he was in dicted by the grand jury for murder in the lirst degree, and tried at Gleenwood in March, 2885, and found guilty as charged, and sentenced to be hanged. On appeal to the supreme court he was granted a new* trial, which began on the 23d day of June at this place. The case was submitted to the jury at 11 o'clock last night. Mm A DAY IN CAMP. What the . Second Reeiment is Doing at Mankato. Special to the Globe. Mankato, Minn., July B.— This has been a day of thorough work through out, in camp and in field. The guard was frequently molested by stragglers during last night, but they found in (apt. DeWltt an officer who would have no trifling, and after several had been put in the guard liouse, everything be came quiet. The senior officer of the guard was Lieut. ('. 11. Brink, of Com pany C, and the junior officer Lieut. K. A. Hallenten, of Company B. The pass word was "Vicksburg." Reveille was sounded at 5:15 this morning, when the boys promptly turned out for roll call and breakfast. Company quarters and all the streets were policed and before 6 o'clock the camp was as clean as a new mown lawn. When the sick call was sounded those who had been overcome by the heat .on the day before were found to be rapidly improving;. Nearly all the sickness in camp is attributed to the excessive use of ice water. The battalion formed at 0:50 for drill, which was mostly in di vision movements, the evolutions of which, though altogether new to the | regiment, were very creditably per formed. Morning guard mount occurred at 8:35. The officer of the day was Cant. George S. Whitney, of Company B: Senior Officer of the Guard Lieut. Ira l'adden, of Company G, and Junior Offi cer of the Guard Lieut. James K. Wood ard, of Comuany C, battalion skirmish drill was a prominent feature of the day. Lieut. Col. Meade was in command of the reserve skirmishers and Capt. Will iam Bird acted as major in the absence of Maj. Ives. The MOST INTERESTING FEATURE of the day to the boys was the arrival of Battery F, Fourth United States artil lery, under command of Maj. George B. Rodney, U. S. A., assisted by Lieuts. Peter Leary and Walter Howe. They bring fifty-five men with them and about the same number of horses. ♦Mack," the battery dog Is with them for the third year, and enters into their drill with the enthusiasm of a vet eran. The horses are all a bright bay, in splendid trim and are thoroughly fa milial- with the drill. The officer of the day for this evening is" 4^apt. L. D. Frost, of Company 0; senior officer of the guard, Lieut J: C. Donahauer, of Company I: junior officer of the guard, Lieut. W. J. Winkleman, of Company A. The dress parade this evening was n grand success and if the regiment continues to improve as it has during the two days past it will certainly ac quire uncommon proficiency. Rifle practice begins to-morrow morning at 4 o'clock. The required 6Core for quali fication in all classes is higher than heretofore, a score of thirty-two out of a possible fifty being required to qual y as a marksman, and forty-four out of a" possible fifty for sharp shooter.

I)., with his able lecture on '•Historic Lessons." The walks and drives about the grounds are in line condition, and already many have en joyed them.

From time to time during the past two years judg ments aggregating 342,424.59 have been confessed by the WhitebMl Sewing Ma chine company, but as there appeared to tie no likelihood of their being paid, the creditors yesterday attached the works, which were seized by the sheriff.

Mann, $15,253.85; Fred Vogel, Sr.. $3,087.61, and $0,300 in favor of Herman Segnitz, amounting to $13, --874.88. There is also about S-S.OOO un paid back taxes.

Results of the Races at Washington Park, Chicago, and at Various Points in the East. St. Paul won yesterday's game from Minneapolis by heavy hitting and clean fielding. The visitors were sorely puz zled by Yiau's twisters, only five of them reaching first on safe hits. Their fielding, however, was very good, six out of St. Paul's ten runs being earned. St. Paul went to bat at 3:25, as it looked as though rain would soon put a stop to the game. Murphy was presented with a base, and he added another to it by a pretty steal, Wilinot bringing him home on a line hit to right center, the latter taking second on Foster's failure to stop the ball. Wilinot stole third, Cleveland struck out, McCauley got a base on balls and stole second, and Dillon's hit to left brought them both home. Two runs were added in the third on Cleve land's single to right, McCauley's base on balls and Dillon's double to right; two more in the fifth on Wilmot's and Cleveland's triples and Pickett's single, and three more in the sixth on Sowders' triple, Viau'a single, Hawes' drop of Murphy's hot liner and Patton's fumble. Minneapolis crossed the plate in the third inning on Shaw's base on balls, a couple of steals and McKeever's fine double-bag drive to left; twice more in the fourth on Foster's triple to center, Murphy's base on balls and Stevens' and Shaw's outs, and again in the eighth on fielder's choice, a passed ball and an out.

That Is the Reason Detroit Beat New York. New York, July B.— The Detroits beat the New Yorks to-day because George did not pitch well enough to deceive a blind batsman and on account of Gore's bad base running in the last inning. In the ninth inning the home players got Baldwin rattled, scored three runs and had two men n obases when Gore was caught napping at third and finished the game. Over 3,500 spectators were present in the broiling glare of the sun. George was put in to pitch only because no other man was available.

Boston, July B.— Galvin's pitching, aided by the ragged work of the infield and battery of the home club at critical junctures, won the game to-day. The brilliant battery work of the Pittsburg s has not been excelled here this season. They also fielded in great form. The Bostons excelled at the bat but failed to bunch their hits. They succeeded in bunching errors, however, a base on balls, a wild throw by Wise, and a wild pitch in the sixth inning netting the visitors three runs, none of which were earned, and virtually losing the game. Kelly and Nash made terrific drives and Brown also did strong work with the bat. Calliope Miller's coaching was a feature of the contest and helped win the game : Score : - Boston. ab a b kb ro a c Hornung, 1f... 4 0 10 10 0 Kellv, rf 4 0 10 2 0 0 Wise, .~. 4 2_;2_-l 2 3 1 N«sh, 3b.:.... 4.0 10 o*3 0 SuHon*f2b.... 4 0 10 2 3 1 Morrill, 1b.... 4,0 " 1 0 14 1 0 Johnston, cf.. 4 0 2 0 10 2 Tate, c. 4 0 0 0 2 1 0 Conway, p.... 3 0 0 0 0 10 Total 35 2 9 1 24 12 4 Pittsburg, ba It B BBPO A|E Miller, c 4 0 10 2 2 0 Beecher, 1f... 4 0 0 0 10 0 Coleman, rf... 4 110 10 0 Carroll, 1b.... 4 1 2 0 IS 0 0 Brown, cf.... 4 1 3» 0 5 0 0 Smith. 2b 3 10 0 0 4 1 Whitney, 3b.. 3 0 0 0 3 3 0 Kuehne, 55.... 3 0 0 0 2 4 0 Galvin, p 3 0 .1 0 0 1 1 Total 32 4 8 0 27 14 j 2 Boston 0 0 0 10 0 0 1 o—2 Pittsburg 0 0 10 0 3 0 0 *— Earned runs, Boston 2, Pittsburg 1 ; two base hit, Kelly; three-base hit, Nash; double plays, Whitney, Carroll and Miller, Sutton and Morrill; first base on balls.

The Senators Badly Beaten by In . dianapolis. Washington, July B.— A poorer ex hibition of base ball than that given by the Washingtons to-day in the game with the Indianapolis club has not been seen here this season. Not more than 1,000 people were present, and they showed their indignation at the miser able playing of the home team by hissing them repeatedly. Indianapolis out played them at all points, and for once this season enjoyed the fun of running around the bases" at the expense of the home club.

E. 1., whom he was alleged to have betrayed, Milniine's father testified that both he and his son, the prisoner, were at home all evening of the night of the murder. Hardly were those words out of his mouth when he fainted. As soon as he recovered he admitted that he had sworn to a lie, and then testified that he was absent from home that evening, but when he arrived home at 11 o'clock his son was in the house. The prisoner was com mitted for trial. Blood stains were found in the woods a few yards from where- the handkerchief was found which led to the discovery of the girl's body. It is believed that the murder was committed at this spot and the body was placed on a gate, floated down the river to the boiling springs and there sunk, the gate being allowed to drift. The gate has been found. Bry ansan, who was arrested as an acces sory, was discharged to-day. The pris oner's mother has gone crazy. The murdered girl's brother was buried the day before she was killed. SWINDLED UNCLE SAM. A Government Employe Detected in Heavy Frauds. Washington, July Something of a sensation was created in the treasury department this afternoon by the dis covery that a trusted official in the de- partment had been guilty of a system atic attempt to defraud the government. The official was arrested at Wilkes barre yesterday afternoon as he was about to take the train for Washington, and his dismissal from the service was ordered by Secretary Fairchild this afternoon. His name is Oscar J. Har vey, and he has been employed in the department since June, 1885, when he was appointed chief of the horse claims division of the third auditor's office. It was while he held this position that he *• '-.:;•; I'EIU'KTRATED THE FIIAUDS. with which he is now charged. On the '2d of June last he was transferred to the head of a division in the second comptroller's office, a division which has charge of claims of the same nature as those in the division which he had just left. Austin H. Brown, of Indianapo lis, succeeded Harvey as chief of the horse claims division, and soon after he took charge of the office he discovered the frauds of which his predecessor had been guilty. They consisted of the pas sage of forty-three fraudulent claims for horses aggregating ifK',2oo, and the preparation of many additional cases of a similar nature which found considera tion in the office. Soon after Mr. Brown* took charge he discovered something wrong, and reported the matter to thej secretary and the frauds have been run down. In most cases the claims are for horses lost during the late war, and are presented in the names of officers of Pennsylvania and New Jer sey regiments. All of the cases appeared to have been pre sented by W. W. Wynn first of Philadelphia and then of Washing ton, and the services of J. C. Manford. notary public, of Philadelphia, were called in requisition in connection with the necessary affidavits. The work in volved a very large number of forgeries, official and otherwise, and the stealing of NUMEROUS INCRIMINATING TAPERS from the files of the • department. For instance, in thirteen claims it was found that signatures iuvolviug the names of thirty-eight officers were forgeries. Sub sequently it was found that the second auditor's name had" been forged in the certificates received from that office. The claims which had been allowed were then overhauled, and in almost every instance it was found that the sec ond auditor's certificate as to signa tures had been abstracted together with other papers. The stamp of the mail room, third auditor's office, and the stamp of the horse claims division had been forged and the dates arranged so as to bring them within the limitation fixed for the filing of these claims. The stamp of the quartermas ter general's office was also forged. The drafts were regularly issued, and an examination of such as have been returned as paid shows that Harvey and Wynn are one and the same person, and that, although the drafts were drawn in favor of the claimants, the money, with one or two exceptions, went directly to Harvey or to some of his relatives. He had secured their payment by forging the signature of the payee, and then in dorsing the draft with his own name. Motfort, the Philadelphia notary, like Wynn, the attorney, was - * FOUND TO BE A MYTH. Most of the notaries and persons named in the claims are unknown to the department. In addition to the forty three casses passed there have been 150 similar cases adjusted, aggregating $30,000, and there are still pending and unadjusted sixty eases, amounting to 118,800, making a total of 161 fraudulent cases which might have eventually been paid but for the discovery. Havvey left Washington about the. Ist inst. on a short vacation, and as already stated was arrested as he was about to return. He was brought to this city by officers of the secret service who have kept him under surveillance since he was first suspected. He asked to see the secre tary and when he was informed of the evidence against him he broke down completely and made full confession of his guilt. He declaredd that he had been goaded to his action by a man with whom he had been in partnership and who urged him to*make the most of his opportunities. He asserted that he had no accomplices. Harvey was held in *12,000 bail for the grand jury this after noon. A Fatal Land Fight. Topeka, Kan., July B.— Some time ago a dispute arose between Weave*; J. Carmen, a resident of Harper county, and two neighbors named Woodruff. The latter contested Carmen's claim to land near Meade Center on the ground that he had broken a fractional part of an acre less than the law required to make his title clear. The courts sus tained Carmen and he returned to his farm and continued the care of his THE GLOBE Is Increasing in Circulation Fasten Than Any Paper in ST. PAULOR MINNEAPOLIS !

Old man Woodruff there upon to ..k aim at him with a shot gun, but before he pulled the trigger Car men knocked the muzzle up, the charge tearing away part of his scalp. In the fight that ensued, Carmen worsted the old man and the young Woodruff came to the rescue, firing two loads of slugs into Carmen's body from a double-bar relied shot gun, inflicting wounds from wliich Carmen died. The assailants were arrested. . GEORGIA CONVICTS. The Horrible Manner in Which They Are Treated. Atlanta, July The convict ques tion in Georgia is again to the fore, and sensational developments are to be ex pected at any moment. It is now the general opinion that the lease system will be abolished, and the convicts put to work on the public roads. The abuses of the system have justified the Rev. Dr. Felton's sweeping denunciation. Some of the convicts have been inhu manly treated. One man who lost his shoes was made to walk barefoot over hot bricks, and was afterwards beaten with a leather trace strap because ho complained of the keeper's cruelty. "In one instance the convicts were so badly frozen that some of them died, and others lostt he use of their limbs. In one case a convit's feet were frozen so badly that the toes dropped off. Badly cooked rations, spoiled meat, unclean and horribly ventilated quarters, made tlie death rate appallingly high. Epidem ics were of course by no means uncom mon. Complaint was followed by addi tional cruel treatment. Men and wo men were sometimes chained together. Whites and blacks alike were made to work from daylight to dark. Fevers and pestilence were not uncommon. Tliese facts are gleaned from the re ports made by the physicians and from statements made by discharged con victs. The truth will out, it is said, but in this matter it has been a long time coining to light. In the meantime the duel between ex-Gov. Smith and Dr. Westmoreland is likely to come off at any time, and when it does they will be expected to fight to death, as both ars men of great determination. THE PINKERTON MEN. Their Presence in the Coke Region' Exciting Hostility. Uniontown, Pa., Jury Although: quiet and peace reigns at West Leisen ring this morning, there is a fear pre* vailing that trouble will occur. The* excitement of last night occasioned by the report that four men had been killed and others wounded has subsided* but a most bitter feeling, growing with every day.is held by the strikers against the officers on duty and the operators at large. Some cokers who arrived this morning assert that the moment a shot is fired by the Pinkerton men the whole region will raise up, in arms, and to this, end a thorough course of drilling is being introduced among the Hungarians. About 1,000 of them are encamped on the hillside overlooking the works. They are all armed . with revolvers, knives and guns and are drilling in the use of their weapons. The ••Huns" at", tne neighboring works -have become more. boisterous during the past twelve hours, but those in the. immediate vicin ity of the Pinkerton' barracks are dis playing a milder disposition. Pinker ton men will show no mercy if the threatened outbreak conies. Maxwell Must Hung. St. Louis, July B.— W. Fauntleroyv* one of the attorneys of Hugh M. Brooks, alias Maxwell, now under* sentence to-' be hanged Aug. 26 for killing C. Arthur Preller, stated to-day. that lie would make no further effort to save his client. He said he had concluded not to attempt to carry the case to the ! United States* supreme court, because he did not think he could convince the judges of that court that there was a constitutional point involved. He would not apply to the governor because he believed that in a case involving the notoriety and prejudice of this one, the governor would not interfere. He now saw noth ing that could be done effectively, and must let Brooks be hanged in accord ance with the law. A Detective Arrested. Chicago, July 8. — This evening's papers contained long accounts of how* a detective named Henry Miller had been arrested for continuously shadow* ing John B. Carson, the general super intendent of the . Chicago ft Western Indiana railroad, presumably in the hope of discovering some boodle trans actions connected with the railroad franchises given away by the city coun cil. Investigation showed the story to be incoriect in its chief feature. Miller was arrested as stated, but the person shadowed, instead of being the railway magnate, was his son, James D. Young. Mr. Carson is authority for the state ment that the shadowing has nothing whatever to do with franchise matters. A Judge in Disgrace. Chicago, July 6.—The newspapers published an official statement, signed by the president of the Young Men's Christian association and the pastor of the Plymouth Congregational church, announcing the expulsion from lioth or ganizations of Judge Alva A.

The court decided that the evidence given yesterday by the state was sufficient to warrant him in excusing the three men. Attempted Murders. Belvideke, N. J., July B.— The firing a few days ago of a pistol ball through the store window of Cannon ft Perry, both of whom are prohibitionists, has been followed by a ball flying through Councilman McMurtrie's mill- window, barely missing the head of Richard B.
