AMAN AND HIS MTSTEBY , Ihe IJeat ot "A Mysterious Blinp- po r nca" Torn * npon tneLin coln Truln Ills Strange Story. In the crowded train up from Lincoln tut night , It was the fortune of a repor ter for these ctlumni to find aaoat , after stoppages at several way stations had re lieved the press of travel , by tha ildo of an elderly gentleman. Thli passenger , by feigning shop , had dented the mute appeals of several fat women with bibles nho had sought to join the moro fortu nate lady who had shared his seat from the ntnrt until aho had alighted at her pr.'por station. The throng in the alslo had boon cleared and the smoker , which Is the proiont noono , had baon reduced to a state of comfort for the few who re mained. The elderly gentleman WAI ev idently not ono of the Falc visitors who 03 nstltulcd almost entirely the freight ol the train. The numerous wraps and Items of luggage which ho had stored about him indicated that ho waa through unavoidable circumstances forced , to the discomforts of an excursion train. Ho was well attired and his features In dicated a station of cnlturo , perhaps of wealth. Ho throw oil his pretense of slumber as the reporter dropped Into the scat and glanced np as though pleased with the change of companions. "Beastly travel this ; horrlblo crowd , eh ? " ho said in friendly tonoo and to the reporter's aisont npon the point , contin ued , "I missed the regular train and was forced to this dreadful moans of gottlug to Omaha to-night. I continue then eastward on the first morning train. " Ho conversed pleasantly and engaged tbo reporter's Interest In many narratives of bis experience. At last wrought to a confidential mood ho declared himself about to reveal a bit of life history which , as the plot was ready to consum mate , ho would for the first time divulge , seeking the trial of its first Impression npon a stranger's oars. "My name , " ho said In unbalance , "is Edward L. Laman , at least it was such a dozen years ago. For moro than a decade - cado I have usud the title K. L. Edwards , it has ( sufficed for all purposes in a Coast Ringo town. I am a Tonnosseoan by birth and miny years of residence. la 1872 1 entered my fortieth year blessed in the possession of a dear wife and a family of four children , three boys and a girl. I was prosperous , even wealthy , tbo owner of five hundred acroa of the finest farm land In Marshall county and an account In bank which made my uamo good at any moment for a clear $200,000. Ono day I drove over to Columbia , the county neat of Muary , the adjoining county , intending there to take the train for Nashville. I sent homo my driver and took quarters fur the evening until train tirao at the amall hotel there , Seated In the office reading a Nashville papar , my eye fell npon a brief telegraphic statement of the sudden disappearance of a wealthy resident of Baltimore. Now , ever since my boy hood I had straggled against a penchant to become a Crusoo or a Monte Orlsto , to hedge myself abou1 ; with mystery and perform the deoda of romance. This fooling I now bsllove to have been a spooled of dementia I ob tained by heredity. My father and my ucclo , both Virginia men , Indulged In aach performances. Father never returned but wo discovered that ho had lived In Francs for many years after lowing ui. My uncle came back In about five years broken In health from long sieges of jangle fever contracted In India. "I can not detail the abnormal mental process through whlchl passed but seated there In that dimly lighted hostlery the inclination of my life-time had grown to an impulsa which I could not withstand. Nay , would not then opposed if I could. I felt conscious of Insanity , I could feel that my eyes shone with a mad llghl and yet I was possessed of a coolness and deliberation which I to-day look npon as diabolical. I chuckled as my plans took shape and experienced an oxhlleratlon which , but for my great self-control , would have broken out in shouts and laughter then and there. In a half hour , which brought the tlmo up to 930 ; , the train being due at 10 o'clock , ] had the whole wild projeol mapped ont to the smallest detail. With a flippant ease which was hardl my OWE I received my luggage from th landlord and bade him farewell with a cordiality which doubtless surprised him. I exulted In a Bonse of superiority which the solo postoislon of my secret gave mo , and ] was almost constrained to chuck his angu lar chin and pake his ribs as I went enl of the door announcing that I wonld walk to the depot. ' 'Out In the darkness , secure from ob servation in the quiet town , I swiftly crossed the street and entered an alloy. There with a gleo'whlch og in but nar rowly missed lend vocal expression , I quickly sot to work upon the first portion of the plan. I wrenched open my satchel and scattered Its contents far and wide. I tore my coat Into a thousand fragments and Btroivod the private papers In my pocket over the ground. Thus half de nuded I completed the oiago setting I had made the scene of a murder. Mock- log the performance of some sacred rite , 1 stood for a moment In the narrow lane , and raising my hands to the star-lit sky declared that Edward Loman was dead. I dashed away A delirious tear which sought to testify the crazy grief I almost felt for my own demlte and hast ened away. I tramped nearly 200 miles tor although I had some § 50 in my pocket I spout nothing of It except once to purchase a seedy coat for a few cents from a farmer. At latt with a week's beard and my barbarous attire for a dis guise I reached Memphis. A year of toll at various rough avocations to which I hid been unuiod brought mo to Califor nia. I wont to work in the mlnos at Ne vada City , and by good luck have in tbosa twelve * years amassed a fortune quite as large us the ouo I loft. I have heard no word from my family and aiso- clatlons of my past , no former friend his recognized me lu the was * . I luve altered much In appearance and now In my now IKo I return Ignorant of whut awaits mo Changes mint have oc curred , but I am Rlrded against all mr- pruo3 , nothing caa lu the leaet perturb mo , Bed If tha miserable fate of Enoch Arden la mine I even then shall bo oDntent Glvo mo your card nd l will write jou you , whom although a total utraiiger , 1 ha > eby irroiponslbUlmpnlif , such ai have actuated mo all through life , taken Into a sacred confidence , " Skipped With the " 3npor . " Buchimn & Wlleon , installment jaw- era In the Arlington block , are clever < entlemiu , but they have had one or two fxperlenosa with employes of a most ne- satltfactory character. Ono of their men , named Olark , skipped last spring with a tray fnil of gold watches , and now two of their men , Martin Herman and A. H. Wolnborg have fled with several Items of jewelry. AH of thrio wares were of the finest stock , and the firm suffers much annoyance by their loss. OAENIVAL3 TOR ? ; OROUKS , Tlio Two Fairs anil the Pickpockets In Attendance VenA Oorwoll'B "Uull" and Hl Letter from Jo tin Slioody. 01 all the nttraotlons for pickpockets , confidence men and crooka of every de scription , the Omaha fair of last week and the state show now in progress at Lincoln take the first places in Nebraska history. So numerous did they bacomo hare that the association was compsllod to cm- ploy secret service and largo numbers ol suspects ware put ont of the grounds. The Omaha polbomon wore also on the qul vivo , and distinguished themselves by effectually suppressing the public annoy ance and lots. In Lincoln , however , where the qood weather hni pormlttod n larger nttondrxnoothieves , thnga and black lego strarm with full license. The con stabulary are unable to master the situa tion , and although scores of arrests hive been made , the howls from swindled or plundered people continue to bo hoard. Thcso crooks , for the greater part , con stitute ono gang under the the leader ship of Fond Corwoll , ono of the brightest st a among light-fingered gentry. Ho is notorious beyond parallel In the manipulations of his craft and his success in avoiding criminating dotoclion. Dar ing the fair hero last week , ho approached Marshal Gummlngs on the grounds , as that officer with Captain Sullivan and Policeman O'Boyle , stood Inn group con versing. Pond ( bo Is bast knonn by that name ) Introduced himself to the marshal , stating what his business donirea wore. "I'll ' give you , " ho aild , addrostlnj the chief , "three Lu drcd dollars for permission to work tha town unmo lested. " The marshal , drawing his watch , re plied testily , "I'll give you just one-hall hour to got yoursalf and your gang oil these grounds , and nntll nightfall to g lent l ont of town. So commence to gather your men and move. " Pond wanted to debate the point a minute. "Why , so far as that la concerned - corned , ! don't c rj much ; I have a letter - tor here from John Shoody inviting mete to Lincoln , and I can po there , but ] wonld like to give Ojiaha jnst a Ilttlo touch to put In the tlmo. " Thus saying , the man produced from hla pocket a let ter advising him to como on to Lincoln , and signed with John Shcedy's name. He , doubtless , has gene there , for the big show la attended by a liberal sprink ling of his ilk. * PHYLLIS AND JOE DAYI3 , The Gre"t Trottlnj ; Race S turilny-- Special Trains A Turfman on State Fair Unfairness. Horaomon are beginning to take quite an interest in the raca between Joa Da via and Phyllis which cornea off at the fairgrounds Saturday , anda considerable money has been posted on the result Phylls , owing to her fjtst VecDrd , is a slight favorite with the bo1. ting men , bu the backers of Joe Divls are numerous and put up their money with a confidence seldom soon. The indications are that it will bo the hottest race ever trotted in the west , and there are intny men in town willing to wager that with a gooc day and track 2:18 : will bo beaten. A local turfman , who was found yes terday , aaid : "I hoar the Lincoln people last night decided to hold their fair over Saturday. This is hardly a fair deal toward Omaha. Last week when we had beastly weather , and every possible excuse for running our fair over into this week , the direct ors goneronily concluded to shut down Saturday night so as not to confl'ct with Lincoln , and afford horsemen and exhib itors a chance to get there in time. Now when wo have a race sot for a day after the Lincoln fair , and they have had a whole week of fine weather , they decide to keep their ahow running in opposition , This looks to mo very much like hoggishness - ness , and I hope that the men who are responsible for it will bo made to under stand it. " All the roada centering in Omaha have made a round trip rate of one and one- third fare for Saturday , and the pros- poets are that the city will be crowded with people from adjacent towns. The Union Pacific will sell tickets from the Broadway station at Oonncil Bluff * and return Including admission to the grounds , for seventy-five cents , and oth er roada will bo equally liberal. Ho Could ctpoll. Ono of the teachers in a South Omaha school relates a Ilttlo experience of the weokpatt.

Ho was evidently an im portatlon , for as good as his Dutch might be his English was lame In the extreme. "What's your name , Hltlo boy ? " "Auguet Cr-r-rupholo , " ho repeated with a rich roll of the "r. " "Spoil It , plowc. " After btiog told in hla native tongue by an urchin oampanion what "epeH" meant , ho assumed a thoughtful expreseion and scratching his Itead pronounced with measured delibera tion something as follows : "Augnst , yon got dat Dan August Gr-r-r-inp-Uayha-und a ho-nnd a hole Or-r-r-rupholo.
