ber that two cnnfidonco men wore cip-
turod bore , ns they were trying to work
a German farmer on the Kusk Island
train , just aa it TT&S starting out. They
had got $100 of the German's money ,
when Djlostivea Fore nnd Valentino
nabbed the fellows. Ono of thorn slipped
the $100 back into the Gorman's ' hands
and got back the bogus chock , but still
there was enough evidence against thorn ,
and the follows had to give § 5CO bail for
their appearance at the district court.
' hey forfeited their bail at this term of
court , and are doubtlcis now working
aorao other field.
Ono of them was a oaudy haired young
nnn , and it is concerning him that n
etrango oiporlonco his boun brought to
light , which is corroborated by Datcctlvo
l'oro , as well as the chief detective of
the OhicagD , Milwaukee & St. Paul road
and othorj.
The chapter of the "con" man's hfo Is
interesting , as It rovoala how O'Donuoll ,
whoso execution in England for killing
Cartyhna caused HO great otir all over
the world , secnrod the nccccoary money
to pay hii traveling expanses , wh n he
was on hia million of nvongo. This red
headed "con" mm , with t ro otnors ,
were working a train botiroon Elnstinga
fcitd Hod Wing , Minnesota , and O'Don
nell wao on the train. Ho was then a
man unknown lo the public , an ordicruy
sort of nn Irishman , to all appearance ,
but ho had qnito a roll of money with
him. In their oigorncsa to got it tnia red-
loaded "con" man , after getting in
friendly conversation , offered him n cigar
which was drugged. O'Donuell , by
fttnokmg It , fell into n stupor and was
then o tly robbed of hla money. The
crooka got off the train at Rod Wing
and between there and LOrosso 0'Djn
nol revived enough by the haekiagof the ,
conductor to give a mumbled account o
how ho had boon used , and what had befallen -
fallen him. The telegraph wires were
sot at work and the crooks were arrested.
The dotoctlvo deportment of the St. Paul
road took special pains to prcsocuto the
case , but It aooms that ono of the wealth-
list gamblers in Chicago befriended the
follows nnd waa very unx'oua to got them
cloar. Various money propositions were
made to settle the aflair bat all declined ,
and O'Donuoll was kept in surveillance
by the officers so that ho might bo on
hand at the time of trial. Largo bail
was fixed and given , but the crooku
thought it cheaper to bny off O'Donnoll ,
rather than to forfeit this largo amount
of bail. By aid of their friend in Chicago
they anccoedod in doing ao , and about
$1,000 waa paid O'Donnell , if ho would
not appear against them. To insure his
.ibcouca tickota were Bocnred for New
York , and an ocean past ago pali for , the
coat of which waa dcdnctcd from the
amount paid him , still leaving him a
snug roll for expenses. It was this
money , it is claimed , which ho used for
traveling expenses on the much talked
of ocean voyngo , wl'on ho killed Caioy.
The rod-headed "con" man can now tell
the story In comparative safety , for the
caao cannot now bo successfully prose
cuted , poor O'Donnoll being beyond the
roach of any earthly eubpama , and other
witnossoa being scattered.

A Now Yorker who did considerable
lowapspor work for the democratic party
n that atato during the late campaign
; ave n Grille reporter recently some In-
ido facts in rcgtrd to the influence aur-
ounding Governor Cleveland.
"Tho deputy state treasurer of Now
York , Edwin K Apgir , you will find , "
aid lie , "trill bo tno power behind the
hrono in the next administration. Ho
lands much closer to the governor than
Dan' Manning docs. The governor owoa
nero to him than ho does to Manning ,
lave you noticed that In all the recent
eporta of the visits of politicians to the
'ovornor mention is made of Mr. Apgar
iiK present ?
Well , if any'man will run Mr. Olovo-
and , Hut man will bo 'Eddie1 Apgar.
? hoto Is no doubt that Mr. Apgar wrote
hat recant letter of Cleveland's. I know
iia atylo and I recognized it , and Mr.
Vpgar will bo the next president's most
: onfidontial adviser. Ho is booked , I
understand , for the coiuptrollorship of
ho currency.
But Mr. Apgar's influence will bo n good
no. Ho bahovcBthat the better element
f the democracy should bo on top , and
10 will BOO tint many reforms are Inangu
fttod , for hn i ] shrewd enough to BOO
hat only In ( hut way can the democracy
aia a long Icnio of power. Ho will ad-
ieo that tlio civil eurvico law bo strictly

'loldera , oven thoughihsy be republicans.
t is for I hia ruaaon ttiat 1 bcliovo Mr.
Clevol.inda administration will bo a most
oneorvAtivo ono. "
"But why , " the reporter asked , "do
ou say that ho OTTOS so much to Mr.
ipgar ? "
' 'Apgar found Cleveland and rnado him
ovornor of Now York , " ho replied. "In
ho spring of 1882 the democrats were
sating around for a candidate for gover
> or. The two factious , Tammany and
ho county democracy , had been ombit-
orod by Cornell's olostion through Kel-
y's candidacy. Apg.ir saw that a now
nd non-committal man must bo taken ,
lo ran across Cleveland , who waa gaining
roat praise as the reform mayor of Buffi-
o. It struck him that thia waa juat the
man ono who was booked by a good rec-
rd and against whom neither faction
onld aay anything. Ho wont to work ,
anvasscd the state , and found a good
tospcct. 'Dan' Lockwood brought out
llovol&nd , but ho waa merely an Instru
ment in the hands of Apgir. Apgar did
moro work toward canvaaaing the ptato
n Cleveland's interest for the preeiden-
al nomination then any ofhdr man. Ho
ppeared less prominently as Manning ,
ut ho is the stronger man noverthe-
ess.
Girls and Coastings.
A Washington Star reporter gives the
raphio pen sketch of how a girl coasts :
"When called upon to deecribo a
'oung lady coasting the reporter's pon-
il falters , conecioua of the immensity of
ho taik. Otring to thosize of and shape
the sled and the objects that the
> oung men who manage tuo affair have
o her dragging her foot upon the ground
ho young lady has to coat herself in the
manner which might vulgarly be called
traddliug. But she does this with such
grace and catchua up her drosa with auch
> rotty and as to make it appear ono of
ho most natural and oaoy attitudes.
Chen , when the nlod is shoved of Fund bo-
cins to gather momentum in its descent ,
aho clings trustingly to the coat of thu
ucg gentleman in front of her.
VVhou itbeaina to daah olong and strike
ire out of the ground , aho utters a little
Ecream and throws her arm about his
nock. Then , when tha tied In Us ( light
reaches its wildcat speed , eho acru rns
louder and frantically embraces the
young man , tightening the pressure into
regular hug , wbilo ho gallantly resolves
to bo equoezod to death sooner than per
mit a buir of her fair yonug head to bo
Injured. Then the opoed begtna to
ilucKon , and the hug s'nkcna also a littla
bit. Then , gradually , the sled comes tea
a ntaudstil ) , and the young woman , aa
aho takes her aims away from the yoang
man , givoa a algh and exclaims : 'Oh ,
ain't it jolly ? ' Then they trudge up the
hill again to repeat the tame perform
ance It ia not noticeable that , though
the yonng lady's fright la not diminished
at all by familiarity vuth the terrors of
the 'jhde , ' ( lie young gentleman con-
tinuea to aubmic to the treatment to
which ho ia subjected without
murmur. "

The stillness was , ns a bystander re
marked , "so thick yer could cut it with

"Du toll" murmured a long , slapsidod
specimen of humanltyos ho drew himself
out of a nail keg and glared around upon
the motley assembly with an interroga

Then a silence like a wet blanket fol
over the little knot of listeners that was
just broken by the champion liar from
Kansas , who in a tone of disgust remarked
marked :
"lie takes the sintago. "
Then the crowd arose as ono man , tin

Sharon was now worth $15,000,000 , and

lefoto Judge riu livan there as a great

here Would ho revelations in regard to
Sharon's wealth. Instead , those present
tore trca'ed to a gcnuino sensation which
uhninated in a lingo joke on Shiran's
hiof counsel , Gen. JJanies.
BARNES * nOUDSUEU.
Whoa the caao was called , Barnes
roao and stated that inasmuch as the
udgo hftd laid chief strona on the docu
ments in the case and Export Qnmpol'a
oatimony in regard to their gonuinoiiOBs ,
o had nllldavits to road which throw an
ntorestlng light on the way theoe docu
ments andlet oraworomimntasturcdforlho
laintitT. Ho then road with line olccu *
ionary effect , a long aftldavit by Nellie
Irackott , once Sarah's chosen friend and
onfident , in which that young woman
old fit gront length the process by which
tie traced , over glais , the signature of
: io marrisgo contract- , making as many
s twenty perfect copier , niftl 'after bale-
13 them in the oven to glvo them s look
f age , she erased with acid thn word
Hill from oovcral lottora and substituted
lie more endearing epithet of "Allie. "
The story wan very long and abounded
n dotath which made it plausible.
Ihla rras followed by a long aflidavl-
iy Sharon , in which ho repeated his ast
ortlons that ho never signed the marin -
in o contract or recognized Sarah as his
wife. To ihia wao appended a document ,
; bo reading of which affected the court
3 though an earthquake had struck the
milding. This document \vni nothing
oes than a contract between Tyler and
5umpol , the expert in chirography who
wan originally hired by Sharon and who
ftorwarda testified that in his judgment
ho marriage contract and the "dear
wifo" letter wore genuine , by which
Tyler agreed to pay § 25,000 it Gumpol
would testily that the documents were
lot spurious. The contract was dated
nvoral weeks before Gampol was called
o the witness stand and bore the olgna-
uros of Tyler and Gumpel.
Harries la a good actor and ho read their
ontrast for nil it was worth. The judgn
eomcd paralyzed. His jaivs dropped aud
10 looked completely disgusted.
WHERE THE LAUOU COMER IN.
But Judge Tyler quickly swithed npon
iarncs and Boomed to look on the utlalr
s a joke. The judge moisted on Barnes
akiug the v itneaa stand and tolling all ho
mow about this astonishing contract ,
iarnea answered certain questions , but
efuBcd to reply to others.
Then Tyler ofl'ered to go en the stand
, nd toll what he knew about it. His
tory in brief was this : About two weeks
go his clerk , McLanghlia , was approach-
id by Barnes , who offered to pay him
landaomcly if ho wonld get from Tyler's
leek an agreement between Gumpel and
fyler by which the export was to recaiva
25,000 for his testimony. Barnes said
) dtectivo Lees told him of the existence
f ouch a contract. The clerk made a
half promlio and then told Tyler nil
ibout it. Tyler then eaid : "If
hey want a contract so badly
we'll make one for them. Yon close
rith Barnes , and got nil you can out of
u'm , and whatever you get yon can keeper
or yon salf. " So Tyler sat to work ,
drafted the contract which Barnes had
rend in court , obtained Gumpol's signi
, uro by practicing hours an it under
Gumpt-1's tuition , and then , when the
upor had boon all fixed in legal style ,
Jlerk Mclaughlin notified Barnes that
10 had got hold of it and made an ap
loiutmout. Then came the question of
compensation. Barnes had originally
offered $ . " > 00 , but the clerk gradually
raised him in auctioneer Btjla , until
Barnes offered § 2,000 , then § 3,000 , then
§ 10,000 , aud at Jnit , whan ho actually
oaw the coveted document with which he
expected to overwhelm his adversary , ho
nat his head completely and produced
23,000 in crisp thousand-dollar bills ,
and they wore transferred to the shrewd
clork'fl pocket while Barnes departed
with the prize.
The clerk cDrrobor&tod his etory in
every detail.
Barnts' fnco traa a study while his
thunderbjlt was being chown to bo nolh
ing but spurious pyrotechnics. flu
dragged himself slowly to his foot , like n
man who haa b'oon suddenly "knocked
out" when ho thought the fight was hii ,
and , in a low voice , declared that ho had
no doubt cf the truth of Tyler's story.
Ho admitted that hn had paid § 25,000 ,
and said ho would have paid twice or
; hroo times that sum , as hn believed the
document was genuine. Ho had loat nls
money , in this win n personal matter in
which his client was not engaged. He
admitted that ho had boon dnpld by a
thabby trick , and he had no doubt the
opposing counsel had coolly pocketed a
portion of the proceeds , Therefore hu
Withdrew the contract ,
Judge Tyler denied that ho had received
ceivod any of the money , and said it was
ila clerk's transaction , la which ho had
nothing ti do save prepare thodocument.
Judge Sullhaa looked much relieved ,
and iidjournod fat trier hearing to Friday
next.

The Motives and Methods of These
AVlio Bncrilluo Honor fur Money.
"Yon ask mo to toll you how n man
oconcilos his judgment with & life of sys-
omatio ( stealing. Well , this is answered
asily cnoagh. They don't do it. "
'ho speaker was Ool. A. G. Sharp ,
hu chief of the poatofllci inspoctora , who
as , says The Washington Star , in one ca
acity or another , spent many years of n
Ifo not yet passed the middle line , in
racking down and bringing to justice
bat class of criminals who violate trusts
opospd in them. In his present official
apacity ho has the duty in connection
with hla corps of assistants of securing
ho honest administration of the rovonuu
crivod from the fifty thousand post-
flicos scattered throughout tha country.
lo is , in consequence , brought in con-
ict with what might bo termed the
ighor class of criminals , nisn of good
octal position and character , who have
brough some influence gene wrong. The
'iscovury of such cases of breach of trust
i always a shock to the public mind
nd generally n source of amazement
o oven their moat intimate circle
ffilends and acquaintances. It is com-
nonly asked what could bavo boon their
noiivo and the mental proccsi by which
hey wore enabled to carry on a syste
matic course of stealing , and yet hold
heir heads high in the community and
SEociato with hcnost people ? The con-
emtion which .vStar reporter had be-
; un with Col. Sharp had reached the
iplnt which ia indicated by the answer
ivcn above , llefuronco had boon made
o the case of Bruggoman , formerly a
lork in the postoflico department , who
ms juat boon sentenced to the pouiton-
iary for stealing stamps , which , owing
o seine defect in the printing of the
heeis , had been sent to the department
o ba counted and destroyed.
"Take the case of BruggemaYi , " con-
inued the colonel. "Ho was an honest
nan nnd and an upright citizen ; his great
mbitlon in life apparently was to got
another enough money to complete the
jayinont on his house , and thus secure a
lorao for his family , in whoso society he
ound his chief happiness. When ho
aw this opportunity of making money
iis judgment undoubtedly condemned it.
t told him that it was wrong , and that
n the event of tbo discovery ho
ronld bo ruined for life.
Jut the desire for sudden acquisition ,
or the rapid cccumulation ot money
jvorcamo his judgment. Ho had not tbo
moral courage to resist the temptation ,
md HO he fell. It was not because his
udgmont had proved defective , that his
oaeon had failed him , but bocausa this
leslre for money overpowered them and
lecama the doniinont influence in his
ife. I can well understand his slnto of
mind when in copr' , as the sentence was
about to be imposed , ho had nothing to
ay except blame for himself.
"I think that I had the some fooling
once myself , " added the colone' ' , and
hen , seeing the look of surprise in tbo
Ace of his listener , ho smiled and said ,
'but it tns only in a dream , and it hap-
loncd some yeara ago. I was at that
ime in comfortable circumstances and in
no need of money. But 1 dreamed 1
had stolen § 200 ; that I bad dollbeiately
> akeu that amount from a friend end
; ono aw y with it. In the progress of
ho dream I was arrested and put In jail.
friends came to mo and expressed their
ymputhy and said that I must not stay
n jail , and that they wonld got mo out
on.bail. But I said no , that I did not
want to got out. I knew that I had
stolen the money , and that I was a thief ,
and that I did not want to see any ono
, hat I csad to know , but my only widi
was to stay and suffer tbo penalty of my
crime.
"I used to be au assistant warden in a
pouitontiary , " wont on the speaker , after
t brief pauss , "and in that capacity came
'n contact with a great many criminals.
[ have boon told by thieves that when
; hey first began to steal they were trtu-
} led in their minds to such an extent
; hey could not oloop , and would bo afraid
to meet people in the streets. The second
end theft did not disturb ilum so much ,
and finally reached such a stuto of mind
ihat they would steal with the same un-
soncoru as they wonld eat tkoir meals.
Their conscience , their moral caturo was
deadened , and they no longer wore dis
turbed by thoughts wire3 at first made
them start at shadows. But this is tha
ordinary experience.
"It was a long while , said the colonel ,
as ho struck a match and lit a cigar , "be
fore I found out Iho difference between
in embezzler and a thief. I used to think
ihat an embezzler was a thief , and that
was all there was about it. Now I know
that an embezzler is not necessarily
t thief .it first , although ho may bo
ouo so , and an a rule ho generally
doer. In the beginning an embezzler
eimply takes the money of some ono else
as a loan to himself for a short time. For
astsnce , suppaso that I have § 4,000 or
; 5,000 .belonging to the gov
ernment in my eatu. A friend comes tome
mo and says : 'Look hero , Sharp , I bayc
ot a good thing , and if you put in § 1OIC
ou can make a lund.somo profit. ' 1 go
; o the aifo and take out § 1,000 and leave
a slip of piper ia its place , indicating that
[ am responsible for it. After a while
, hn money is returned , pernaps at a profit
ind I return it to the safe. Suppose ,
lowovor. Instead of making money I lost
; 500. I feel blue over the loss and re
solve to replace the money as soon as
loesiblo. It is as ranch a loan of mine as
f I bai given a regular note. Then another
or opportunity is presented to mo I ol
making a llttlo investment with favorable
chances of a handsomeprofit. . 1 rie
§ 1,000 borrowed in the same way. Hup
poeo I lose another § 500. Then I tbink
to mveolf'GractouH. : 1 must nuk ) tint
ironoyup some way.1 Another invest
ment follows , and perhaps another , and
if tlura are IOBBEB , with each loss the
anxiety to make it up grows , and my in-
\ estments bee mo luoro frequent and nij
loans to myself of money 111010 numerous ,
it may have taken years to reach this
stage , or perhaps a few months , the time
varying aucoiding to the character of the
man for cautiousness. At any rate
whether a longer or shorter time , 1 fini
myself in debt perhaps to the extent o
thousands of dollars , n much larger BUU
than 1 can ever hope to make up. At
this point I change f orn .in e-mbe/ylcr tea
a thief. Huietofuro , vitli strict honestj
of purpose , I have regarded the money
taken as loans , and fully intended to
make it all good. Now I know that it is
not .1 loan , and yet I continue ) to take the
inocoy of other people and app optiate i

nel , "who used to bo the disbursing of
icor of this department , ia n good itlus-
ration of this procesi of development
during the years that ho was ilnof he
must have been in hell and suffered tor-
nonts , although to all outward appoaranc
lo was a hippy , contented man. 1
lwayn liked him , but I was never able to
tecorno intlmata with him. I believe
list this Insanity which has now devel

apprehension in which ho dally lived ,
lo had that look in his eye , and in con
versation ho wandered , and was apt to bo
disjointed and abrupt , llyiug off from ono
abject to another. "
The colonel at this juncture began to

Indies can act as jurors in most cases
qually as well as men , but It seems to us
hut it is too great a hardship upon theme
o have their llttla children around their
neos in the court room all day , and
omotlmos throe or fur ladies are con
fined in a jury room all night with
trango men , their husbands at home
aring for the household affairs , nnd were

ilseatisfaction has grown out of this jury
