Special to the Globe.
Braixerd, Oct. 22.— Last evening a
number of holders of cheeks drawn on
the Lumbermen's Exchange Bank were
surprised and considerably excited to
hear that the bank had not paid or made
good the checks which came into the
First National bank in the tegular
course of business. • From these the
rumor spread that the Lumbermen's
bank was in a bad way, and a run was
certainly expected today. At the
nomine hour of opening business there
was at the Lumbermen's plenty of cash
in sight to pay everybody, and also, con
fidence was doubly restored by seeing
that the new bank, called the Northern
Pacific bank, had reopened for business
in the same or part of the. same house.:
There was no run on the Lumbermen's j
and few people were around I-*- who
wanted money. The Lumbermen's is a
I> r vaie bank, owned by Col. ('. L. :

<;. A. EL He had also some mouths ago
been appointed postmaster, though he
had not yet got possession of the
oiiiee. He was BuUfcht at the bank by
the Globe correspondent, and was not .
in. but Cashier Simons stated that a
little trouble they had about a small <
draft had been ail fixed up, and that
was all there was of it. Nome of the
depositors and drawers of the checks
spoken of claimed, however, that tiie .
trouble was due to the action of Cashier
Ferns, of the First, and charged that
he urreed to hold certain checks for the
Lumberman's., ami then as soon as the
banK closed went out and presented i
them for payment to the individuals, j
So Cashier Ferris was . seen and
denied any such tiling. • They
held, he said, at the closing !
hour a number of checks on the
Lumbermen's awaiting p. yine»it. and
waited therefor until 0 o'clock, and then
he went out and returned same to the
makers to be made good, and as other
was later about to be protested, the
Lumbermen's officers got around and
I took care of the paper. lie said, that
was all there was of it. To add to the
breeze there was known to be quite a
sum of school money deposited with the
Lumbermen's. Probably the uneasi
ness has all grown out of the fact that
the Lumbermen's is going Into liquida
dation, in view of its owner. Col.
Spauldinjr, going into the postoffice.
The latter has been in the nankins
five or six years, having succeeded to it
on retirement of Keene & Nevins, who
were the founders. Col. Spaulding was
to-day notified that his commission as
postmaster, which has so long been held
up, is signed and on its way to him. .

Joseph De La >iotte Jr. Gets Into
Serious Trouble.
Special to the Globe.
Eai: Ci.aikk, Wis.. Oct. 22.— Joseph
De La Motte Jr., of Chippewa Falls, is
the man who, acting as the husband of
the wife of the once noted editor of the
Chippewa Falls Independent, J. N.
Phillips, brought himself into such
notoriety about a year ago. He is again
in trouble. This time he is charged
with the abduction of Cora McCarthy,*
daughter of a mail carrier of this city.
The warrant for his arrest was served
on him by Deputy Sheriff Conners to
day, and he was brought to this city,
and before Judge Marsh gayelSOO bonds
for his appearance on Friday. The
charge, is that he enticed and decoyed
the young girl to a house of ill-tame on
the outskirts of this city for the pur
pose of prostitution. La Motte is a
strikingly handsome man, and is pro
prietor of a fashionable saloon in Chip
pewa Falls. The McCarthy girl was
placed as a dining room girl in the
leading hotel here., and was thus thrown
into contact with La Motte and other
fast young men. Her ruin was soon
accomplished. It had been published
in other papers that this same girl had
had a warrant out against Uarry P.;
Porter, a young and Influential lumber
man, for seduction. This is not the
case, and the newspaper comments
have caused deep distress in a well
known and respected family.

tor and three confederates were arrested
for stealing on Saturday, and yesterday
afternoon they were tried before Judge
Barto and bound over to await the ac
ton of the grand jury at the December

were working systematically. They
had committed a large number of burg

six months. Three stores had been
broken into and robbed of hundreds of
dollars' worth of goods, consisting of
clothing, boots and shoes, tobacco, etc.
One saloon had been robbed of money.

been taken from private residences,
they even going so far in one case as to
steal a front door from its hinges during
the absence of the family. When search
was made much of the stolen property
was discovered, some of it plowed under
in a field not far from the house, some
under a haystack and some in the
house. These, robberies have been the
most bold and audacious known in this
vicinity for years. There is little doubt
but that all the gang will goto the peni
tentiary for a long term of years.

nomination papers. There were two
distinct sets for state nominations, nine
sets for senatorial districts and forty
sets for representative districts. Each
paper contained from fifty to seventy

Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 22.— A spe

records a crime hi Tallapoosa coutny
tliat has rarely been surpassed in its
horrible details. It seems that while
Albert Smith and his three oldest chil
dren had gone some miles to church,
live negroes approached the boose and
asked Mrs Smith to give them some
thing to eat. On being refused they
went into the house, and, learning that
there was no one home but Mrs. Smith
and her babe, forced her into
the yard and began ransacking
the house. After appropriating
all they could find in the
way of money and valuables, they set
the to th<^ house and ad. Ed horror to the
terrible scene by forcing the distracted
woman to witness tlie most brutal of
findish deeds, which was the tossing of
her little baby in the air and letting it
fall back almost on the point of sharp
knives, whicn they held under it. The
brutes finally heeded the frantic wom
an's entreaties and went away, leav
ing her with nothing to greet the return
oi her husband and children but her
half-dead babe and a smouldering heap
of coals. People for miles around have
been searching lor the villains, and at
last accounts three of the negroes had
been captured.
THE DRI'MMKK PRAYED,
And the Lynching Proceeded lm-
mediately Thereafter.
Com'mjuts, S. C, Oct. 22.— Some very
curious facts in connection with the re
cent lynching of young Robert Berrler
for the murder of his mother-in-law,
near Lexinsrlon, N. C, have just come
to light. A party, who witnessed the
banging says Bertier was taken from
the jail at half-past 7 and immediately
carried to the outskirts of the town
under a large oak tree. Here the mr»b
stopped and asked the prisoner if he
was ready to die. Berrier said he
would be if he knew he would
meet his wife and babe in heaven.
'1 he mob then informed him that he.
would be allowed time to pre
pare for death. About this time a drum
mer, who was in town, came upon the
scene, and asked to be allowed to pray
with the condemned man. His request
was granted, and he knelt down by She
side of Berrier and prayed very fer
vently that God would save his soul.
During the prayer many hearty
"Amens"' and such responses as "Lord
grant it."' etc., went up from the mob.
For more than three hours prayer and
regular religious services were con
ducted. A few minutes before mid
night Bcrrier expressed his willingness
to die. He was then placed upon a
horse, with a rope about his neck, and
then as an appiopriate hymn was sung
the horse was led from under him and
the body left dangling in the air.
A CHURCH FIGHT

WriJvESKARRE, Pa., Oct. 22.— Three
months ago Bishop O'llara deposed.
Father Warnegari from the Polish
Catholic church at Plymouth, and after
wards unfrocked him for unbecoming

factions, one forcibly keeping posses
sion of the church and parsonage build
ings. To-day the bishop appeared at
Plymouth to take possession of the
property. He deputized Father Mack
to act for him. Police protection was
secured and the party went to the par
sonage. On being refused admittance
the police battered down the doors and
arrested six of the inmates. While the
prisoners were being removed a fierce
tight occurred, the leader of the riot

PIKE COXFKSSES.
fle Did Not Rob President Moffatt
in His Bank.
DSHVKB. Col., Oct. 22.— Frank Pine,
alias George Hall, the celebrated confi
dence man and gold brick schemer,
made his dying confession last evening
at his residence in this city, in the pres
ence of witnesses and a notary public.
The document*, two in number, were
for City Auditor Winram. of Kansas
City, and John E. Bull, of the same city.
William J. Brewster chums to have
been defrauded out of $10,000 in cash
and $6,000 on a note given to Pine in
payment for an interest in mining prop
erty in Pima county, Arizona, which
was found to be worthless. Brewster
claims Winram was a party to the
fraud in that he recommended Pine and
spoke highly of hi 9 character. A suit
for $20,000 damages is pending in Kan
sas City against Pine. Winram and John
E. Bull, who, it is charged, acted in the
mine sale as O. G. Petty, owner of the
property. Pine, in his confession,states
positively that Auditor Winram and
John E. BulHiad nothing to do with the
deal, nor did they receive any of the
proceeds. He says Petty was an Eng
lishman, who. when he received bis
money, started on a trip to Europe. l*r
a statement to a reporter, he denied
having made the alleged confession
published regarding his connection
with the robbery of President Moffat in
his bank of $21,000, some months ago,
and also several other statements pub
lished in the papers during the past few
weeks. The doctors say he cannot iive
more than a week.

BELLING HUMAN CHATTELS.
Large Traffic in Slaves in Zanzi
bar.
| London, Oct. 22.— Letters from Zan
zibar received at the office of the anti
slavery society here report that the
buying and selling of human chattels
in the streets of that city is being car
ried on with scarcely an attempt at con
cealment. Weekly markets are held,
at which slaves arc boldly exposed to
the gaze of intending buyers, and in
many cases each slave carries a placard'
suspended from his neck, Upon which
is written the price at which he can he
bought. The women are not usually
.ticketed In this way, but are Bold for
what they will fetch,, the ordinary:
price being from £G to £10
each, if they are young. The mer
chants who Ty-'i ."n rr tfter --trftftif
are all Arabs, but it. appears to be well
understood in Zanzibar tfnrt*«Ticfr-tfrrn
of traders, every member of which
hails from England, furnishes all the
capital to conduct the business, and
that by far the largest share of their
immense profits is derived from this
traffic. All the local officials in Zanzi
bar are said to be in the pay of this
firm, who purchase immunity by brib
ing the authorities from the highest to
the lowest, and so complete is their in
fluence that no complaint receives tie
slightest attention. To illustrate the
openness with which the traffic is car
ried on. it is pointed out that the re
ceipts of slaves every week are pub
licly announced by placards upon the
walls of the houses. The letters com
plain that the representatives in Zanzi
bar of the different European govern
ments appear to take no interest what
ever in these matters.

the first district, may be surprised some
what at the intelligence, now made pub
lic for the first time, that the statesman
has taken unto himself a wife and fur
thermore that there is an interesting
story thereunto belonging. In fact,
Mr. Taylor's wedding has all the ele
ments of the "Clarissa Harlowe" rom
ance-love, unrelenting opposition by
the stern, heartless, male parent, cland
estine cooing, hazardous experiment,
roughened pathways, flight, secret vows
plighted before an unknown and cloaked
priest, final success, and at last— if not
free pardon and tears on the part of
the unrelenting male parent —at
least a grieved neutrality, which will
serve nearly the same purpose. The
lady in the case is the daughter of Col.
A. C. Babcock, well known politically
and at present a prominent candidate
for the United States marshalship for
the district of Northern Illinois. Mr.
Taylor has for a long time been assidu
ous in his suit for the hand of Miss Bab
cock, but his attentions were unhappily
frowned down by the colonel. But
Cupid's arrows were never known to
shiver on paternal anger, and they went
through the armor this time, too. Col.
Babcock, one line morning, awoke
to receive the undeniable, if not
too welcome tidings, that the con
gressman and his daughter were wed
ded in a little town in Michigan on the
7th of September iast, and that now it
was all too late. Bride and bridegroom
enjoyed the honeymoon in obscure fe
licity until quite recently, when they
returned to Chicago. Here they spent
a few days. Yesterday afternoon they
left Chicago to reside at Washington.
'•It's all post-mortom now," said the
rolonel last evening, "and 1 won't talk
about it. 1 opposed it from the lirst,
fought it, and did all I could to prevent -
it, but Taylor is my son-in-law now, and
I can't deny it. I don't know whiff
they got married, and I don't care. It's
all one whether it was in Michigan or
New Jersey."
WEDDED AT FIFTEEN.
And Her Babe Dieil in Her Arms
on a Train.
Jamestown, N. V., Oct. 22.— A young
Portuguese woman, giving her name as
Maggie Simmons, arrived in this city
about 1 o'clock to-day on the New York,
Pennsylvania & Ohio railroad, with the
body of a dead baby in her arms. When
questioned by a reporter she told this
story: "1 will be sixteen years old
next Thanksgiving and have lived in
Providence, H. I. I had been married
to a young man in that place and just
before my baby was born he went away
in company with his mother and left
me. 1 started for California, where I
have relatives, as soon as 1 could after
the birth of my child. Tula morning
the baby seemed perfectly well, and
only half an hour before reaching
Jamestown I found it dead.' 7 The girl is
without money or friends. A local un
dertaker took charge of the body of the
child and will have it interred here.
The woman aud an acquaintance whom
she met on the train and who stopped
off here with her, will start again for
California to-morrow morning.

And His First Wife Proposes to
Send Him Up.
Cleveland, 0., Oct. 22.— Early in

miles west of Cleveland, aud she had

manded as soon as he married her. Not
getting it, he deserted her. She applied
for a dhoree, and three weeks beiore it
was granted he married Miss Wilson.

to-night he is snug and tight in the
county jail. She declares that she will
prosecute him to the end and see that
he goes to the penitentiary.
SHY OF SARAH.
Judge Deady Isn't Sure She Won't
Shoot Him.
Washington, Oct. 22. — Judge
Matthew P. Deady, of the Oregon fed
eral circuit and district court, before
whom the famous Sharon-Hill case was
brought !• a hearing, is in Washington.
Judge Deady wrote the opinion declar
ing the famous marriage contract a for
gery, and JudgejSawyer wrote the con
curring opinion. Being interviewed by
a Post reporter, Judge Deady said: "I
came East as a delegate to the Episcopal
convention in New York. Yes, I sat in
the Sharon-Hill case. The fact is, that
woman was merely his mistress. He
gave her $500 a month, furnished mag
nificent quarters, and spent money on
her lavishly. Hei influence on Judge
Terry was undoubtedly bad. She
urged him to acts beyond even his own
inclination. In November she will be
tried before me for resisting the authori
ties. It is very likely that she may, at
some favorable opportunity, attempt
the lives of Justice Field, Judge Saw
yer and myself. 1 predict she will die
a violent death."

PAID FOR HIS TKOUBL.R.
How a Wealthy Cottager Repaid
a Conductor's Kindly Act.
The Providence Journal relates a
Newport incident of which a wealthy
cottager was the hero. He had been to
see the surf, and got a ducking from a
big wave. He therefore started for
home on one of the terrible electric cars
which the cottagers so bitterly oppose.
When the conductor came around he
fumbled in his pockets for money to pay
his fare, but in vain. The conductor
offered to pay the fare out of his own
pocket and trust his passenger for
repayment. This offer was accept
ed, and the indebted party asked
the conductor where he could be found,
to which the reply was given that he
was either on the cars or at the car
house most of the time. This did not
satisfy him. and he wanted to know
where he lived, as he said that his bene
factor should be well paid for his trou
ble. And so he was, for when he arrived
home at breakfast the next morning he
found a nice, fat letter awaiting him,
and was greatly surprised upon open
ing it, for folded in a large sheet of
paper, without a word written on it,
which gave the envelope a bulky ap
pearance, there rested a single mole.'
the fare charged jon the cars. On iho
exterior of the envelope was the name
-ofthe-man for whom the favor had been
done.

PAPER COLLAR JOE,
The Famous Bunco Steerer
and General Confidence
Shark,
Alleged to Be Identical With
Kray, the Local Sa
loonist.
Norris, the Detective. Traces
Him Here, but Loses
Kis Man.
An Interesting Bit of History
Connected With a Strange
Story.
Joe Kray, the qondam proprietor ol
the saloon at 147 East Third street, is
suddenly missing. About ten months
ago his" interest in the saloon was
turned over to his partner, Charles
Gillespie, and Kray went to Paris, os
tensibly to visit the exposition. He re
turned to St. Paul last week, and was
afiain seen about his old haunts. Gen
erally regarded as a veiy '-smooth"
party, he enjoyed a large circle of ac
quaintances among a certain class of
sports. When he returned from across
the svater he was warmly greeted, and
his frfrnda treated him to the best the
town afforded. They were considerably
surprised, however, at his sudden dis
appearance. Some felt injured and
were inclined t o believe that their fan
cied illtreatment was the direct result
of Joe's brief existence in gay Paris.
A STOKY JS TOM)
which may restore him to their good
opinion. John T. Norrit=. a well-known
Eastern detective, departed for his
home yesterday morning, after spend
ing several days in the city. To a re
porter Norm stated that he came to St.
Paul in questof a crook once well known
as Paper Collar Joe. He also claimed
to have proof that Paper Collar Joe was
none other than Joe Bond, who did time
at Auburn for card-sharping in In
spector Byrnes' bailiwick, and that Joe
Bond, tin- ex-convict, was none other
than St. Paul's smooth saloonkeeper,
Joe Kray. h\ ISSO Fanner Hober Spearg
was tricked out of about $1,500
by cards at Columbia City,
Ind. Many others of the too
credulous of that section of the country
were beaten in a similar manner. At
a leathering of the mourners jt trans
pired that they had all been victimized
by the same parties, three smooth talk
ers, and that their combined losses ag
gregated nearly $20.0: :o. Their first
move was to employ Norris to work up
the case. Two of the fellows the detec
tive eventually spotted, but the identity
of the third still remains a mystery,
though the trio hung together for some
tune and operated successfully in the
Southeastern states and on the lower
Missis.Mssippi. The two whose identity
he learned wore Paper Collar Joe and
Denny Doherty. When the three men
finally separated Dolierty went to Eu
rope and Joe and the unknown became
LOST TO TIIK DBTECTiyfi,
Doherty sliot and killed a gambler
named Joseph Graham during a row
over cards in London, tor which crime
lie is now doing time under Queen Vic
toria. Aborit a year ago, the detective
claims, he located Paper Collar Joe in
this city, in the person of a Third street
saloonkeeper; Before the arrest could
be arranged, however, Kray went to
Europe, where he was watched by for
eisrn detectives, who report that he
made money during his absence. When
be arrived in New York on the 12th
inst. the detective was notified, and
laid traps for his arrest. Not appre
ht'ndinirthe man wonted in the East,
Norris telegraphed to St. Paul and
learned that he was here. A second
dispatch from Chicago asked that Kray
be watched, and Norris came on in post
hast. He arrived just late enough to
miss his man, as Kray was well out of
sight several hours before Norria
limped up town from the union depot.
The detective was considerably puz
zlcil to know how Kray got his tip, but
was inclined to believe that some 011 a
on the '"inside" gave him warning.

THE MAN DESCRIBED.
The description of Kray, alias Joseph
Bond, alias Paper Collar Joe, bunco
steerer. published with the accom
panying portrait in "The Professional
Criminals of America," as issued by In
spector Byrnes, of New York, in 1886,
is as follows:
Thirty-six years old in 1886, born In
United" States! married, no trade, medium
build, height 5 feet 7i*> inches, weight about
148 pounds, dark hair, hazel eyes, light
complexion, generally wears sandy Bide
whiskers and mustache, high forehead, looks
somewhat like a Jew. i
In St. Paul Kray was a hail fellow
well met, and, while his place was fre
quented by local gamblers, no crooked
work done there ever came to liKht. He
was probably personally known to every
city and private detective in St. Paul,
but whether his past record, as detailed
by Mr. Norris, was known to them will
probably never be known. Kray'a
friends, while admitting that his past
record is a trifle shady, allege that Nor
ris is simply using extreme measures to
collect an old debt. His course, they
say, amounts to but little less than the
persecution of a man who is trying to
lead an honest life.
