S3. Juafc nflcr tlii. Ce traction by Ore of Siegel, Couper & Co's. grtab" department store, the insurance companies were informed that it was a cate of arson and asked to pay $20,OOQ for evidence that would convict the guilty, it being- intimated that the company was the real culprit. Messrs. Siegel, Cooper & Co. immediately caused the arrest of the persons who bad approached the insur ant e men, and preferred the charges of arsin and blackmail against them. A detective was put on the track and from the developments there seems little doubt that Thomas Higgins fired the building am! that his cu-conspirat ors were William Da! ton, -and one Cunningham. The sch-.-me was carefully hatched and the plan was to fire the building and then swear away the liberty of members of the company "for a consideration." One of the Crooks Confesses. The evidence upon which this )-a,itement is based is the confession of William Dal ton. He directly charges Higgins with the crime, and says that the plot was per fected at several meetings of the conspira tors before and after the fire. They called themselves the ''Circle of Six," and at the Jattr meetings a story was agreed upon which each man couimittod to memory in ord'-r that they might corroborate etch oth-r. It was arrauged to swear to the movements of Mr. siegel and certa-n trusted employes so as to present a strong circ-imstantial case against them, and it was through the efforts of the detective George Washington, a colored secret serv ice man, aud a reporter named Perkins, wbx got into the "Circle'' that the plot was not successful in a measure, at les.st. The met. were before Justice tilennon yester day. aud it was testifh'd by Washington that the oath of the "Circle" bound each man to secrecy at. the forfeit of his life. The case was continued.

A CONVICT MAKES A CONFESSION shewing How the Concern IV as Looted and the Villainy Kept from the Knowl edge of Examiner Drew A Series or Crooked Operations in Which tOOO. OOO Wa Involved How the Shortages of President Lucas were Covered I'p. Philadelphia, Aug. 2S. Charles Law rence, the assistant cashier of the Key stone National bank, who is undergoing a sentence of i-even years, has made a full confession. Since his confinement in the penitentiary the disgraced official has con cluded that it was his duty to tell all he knew and how the frauds were perpe trated in the Keystone bank. The letter is addressed to ex-Bank Examinor Drew, and is as follows; Telling How It Was Done. "DEAR Sirt: I beg to submit to you the following circumstances as to the manner in which you, as national bank examiner, was deceived in your examination of the Keystone National bank. In the first place, permit me to say that, in general, every mean:, possible were used to both swell the assets of the hank and to dimin ish its liabilities. There was no regular method adopted, but at one time some means were resorted to, at other timts some other plan suggested itself. I caa, therefore, only tell you in a general way of the various things done to deceive you, without specifying any particular time in which the particular falsification was made. They Ctot Things Heady for Drew. 'First, as to the individual ledgers. These came within the scope of my own knowledge, and are facts with which I am personally acquainted. As to the other departments my knowledge- comes from what I have seen and heard, and, there fore, I am about to draw pretty strong in ferences. The individual ledgers were al tered at least twice every year about the time you were looked for. This was done by me since 1SS0, and the methods pur sued were various. Sometimes whole pages were abstracted. Mostly false bal ances were . made by altering the pencil figures. Lirge balances were decreased and overdrafts wiped out. Kequired Frequeut Alterations. "Sometimes false credits were posted to an overdrawn account, so that your atten tion would not be drawn to the Ifuir more minutely by an overdrawn account, when you n..ght possibly see something else to excite your suspicion. Sometimes false cheeks were posted to an account hav ing a large balauce, so as to reduced lia bilities. This.- you can readily see, re quired alteritions and re-alterations to a very large extent, because if a check had been posted falsely to an account and then that party drew on the account in the reg ular course of business you will see that it necessitated a rearrangement of his ac count aud a urrespouaing change in some other account. Covering the Stealing-a of Lncas. This wasdone to the extent of probably Iofi0,u00 more or less I cannot tell any earer than that. Now I know that there were memo, auda carried as cash which represented the amount Mr. Lucas owed the cash diawer. This was replaced at the time of your examination by real cash, which was temporarily borrowed, some times by means of a due bill taken from the back of the due bill book, sometimes by means of a certi-ficate of deposit or by the preskleD. obtaining a loan. Swelling the Itills Discounted. "The bills discounted were swelled by the introduction of fictitious notes. These were intended both to swell the assets, and lo take the place of other bills dis counted, which, it was thought, liest nut to K t you soo as it might excite jour sus picion aud put JoU nil a uijid inquisitive examination. This, I litlieve, gives you a general ida of the various meth!? pur sued. Chakles Lawuesi'E." BRILLIANT DISPLAY AT ST. LOUIS. Extensive and Elaborate Preparations for Street Illuminatiou. ST.
