Once wo stalled a subscription for a
br.xkeman's f.unilv. Ho was killed at
SiHqnohanna , and loft a wifoand four
childnni without a cent. 1 had the
paper at Binghamton , vihere quite a
number of the boys work , and wan
talking about it 30 nny ono in the
loom eould hear. A prcacher-lookm * ,
sort of a fellow w.xi on the platfouv
waitintj fora tiain. He c.nno up tome
mo and saj-o : 'I guess I'll help this
br.ikeman's wife n little. ' Ho wrote
down , 'Cash , ? 50. ' and gave mo the
money.Vlio do you suppose ho was !
John Uniloy , the woist confidence
man that ever worked a train. Ilo'a
dead now. Ho got an even hundred
out of n granger from Allcghnny coun
ty on thu 'bnsited stock-raiser' busi
ness. The granger got on to the
swindle at Addison. Ho just necked
the fellow , shoved him down the aisle
of the car to the platform , and in the
struggle Bailey fell oil. Ilia father
was a county judge in ono of the
northern counties of Pennsylvania- ,
md they sent his romaiiis homo.
"Emigrants ton years ago were- big
game for the three-card monte men
md ether swindlers. It was impossi
ble to watch them because the trains
Trpro so lout ; . They could got through
with their business and oil' the tiain
bcfoio wo know anything was wrong.
'Big Jewoy , ' ono of the quietest fol
lows you over saw , was the boss
worker of emigrant trains. lie could
; alk all the languages them are. His
real name was Wairen Kirklmm. Ho
was ft native of Baltimore , but lived
ic.irly all his later life jn Northern
Pennsylvania. Ho aln ays claimed to
jo a graduate t > f Yale College. Ho
was the originator of vciy many of
hocard tricks with which sleight-of
und perfoimeis amuse their audi
ences. Ho could handle caids with a
loxtcrity that was simply wonderful ,
[ lo took ovei1 ? 3,000 from an emi
grant train on the Central road bo-
Aveen Auburn and Canandnii'Uii in
one night. Ho was an inveterate faro
) layer. One night ho went intoStovo
Bradford's place , in Scranton 'tho
ilajor'a , ' they used to call it and
won § 9,000 , breaking the bank , and
causing Bradford to leave the place.
Tlio same nipbt ho was robbed of the
8
entire sum in a notorious resort in
Commercial alley , and ho went to
Now Mexico Ho was killed there in
a drunken row by the brother of the
brnkoman in aid of whoso family John
Bailey , a chum and an occasional as
sistant of Kirkham's , subsciibcd $50.
"But the vigilance of the men who
r
are now running the Erie has about
broken , tip the three-card monte busi-
icss on our cars. Wo know pretty
veil now who the swindlers are , nnd
vo always keep nn eye on them. The
ether day , for the first time in years ,
ono of them managed to get his work
n on a passenger , and got § 400 out
of him. Ho was spotted , though , by
i brakeman , and was caught as ho
vas attempting to jump off the train
at Bolvidore. He's in the Stouben
ounty jail now , and no doubt ho will
erve the atato for a spell.
"About the neatest thing any of
Jio Erie employes over did in the way
f getting the best of a train sharper
vas 'Poppy' Ayer's capture of a
"ell-known export known aa
Bunky' Silver. Silver had been
i printer , and could do znoro
ricks with cards than any follow I
! ver know. Ho hailed from Syracuse ,
FI remember rightand did a first-class
Misincss on the Central for a long
imo. Under the old Minot manage-
ncnt trains on the Erie wore mighty
ow and far between , and finally Silver
ot to working our trains , as the
hanccs were bettor for his getting ]
xway with his gains. Ho got down to
Jattaraugus county , and ono night at
Sllicottvillo swindled a lawyer
\v
out of 8100 by ono of his vV.
ard tricks. It was necessary for
lim to got out , and ho struck across 1'a 1'li
o Dayton , a station on the Erie road. li
lo boarded Poppy Aycrs * trainwhich lif.
md load of Sweden who f.Hi
a big were Hi
joing out to Illinois. The Swedes Hib
vho emigrated to this country in those F
lays generally had money about them.
Vhat' docs Silver do but watch hi jj
hanco and personate an agent of the 0
oad. Ho went through the cars nj
oiling them in their own language , j ,
or he could talk it , that it would be
iccessary for them to exchange their
nonoy for American money Then
migiants did nut got their money
xchanged in Castle Garden. Silver
got a big pile of money and shoved
oil'on the emigrants u lot of ( jueur
stuff. When the train arrived in an
t
out-of-tho-way place , ho gave the
boll-rope a jcik and waited for tlio
train to stop. Poppy Aycr wns in the
baggage car. Ho Baw the hull-ropo
jerked , und limned back to hen what
was the matter. He saw Silver jump
off and start on n dead run across the
fields. Poppy knew something must )

after the sharper. 1'oppy was fat ,
but ho run that fellow down , although
took the distance across thrco ten-
aero lots to do it. Ho collared nnd
brought him back to the train. He )
got every cent of the money back nnd
had the thief sent to Auburn for
seven years. Pop was reprimanded
headquarters for leaving and delay

gated the case the reprimand was
omitted nnd the conductor's salary
was raised.
"Ten years a o ono of the boss
