HOW HIS LITTLE GAME WAS CHECKED ,
Judge Shiran Announces Ills Willing
ness to Decide the Ilnllrond Cases
nt Oneo Death ol * Mrs.
Miller Yesterday.
Tiic BEE'S expose of the peculiar business
methods employed by H. B. Eastman , alias
Klton Hunt , In working up trade la the
tombstone line , has brought to light n num
ber of prominent citizens who wcro victim
ized Into signing contracts for monuments for
their relatives who ha\o died recently. It Is
found tbnt Mr. Eastman has been over
Omaha as well ns thh city , and has a number
of scalps at his belt that were formerly worn
by people across the river. After his crook
edness had been inado public his victims
begun making Inquiries ns to what they could
do towards brlUKlrn ? the tombstone man to
justice. The attorneys who WPIO consulted
in nearly every cnso Ir.formed their clients
tnoy had good grounds for actions airalnst
him for fraud.
The police too began Investigating. In ac
cordance with an invitation extended to him
by the chief of police , Mr. Eastman presented
himself at the police , station. Ho was put
through a largo part of the catechism by the
chief , and although Lo tried hard to make his
actions uppenr to good advantage , there were
some gaps in bis story which ho could not
illl. Ho stated that ho was representative
of the Vermont Granite company , located at
I3nrri , Vt. , the sniuu firm that ho pretended
to bo travel lug for when ho was drumming
up traue. Chief Catoy telegraphed the/ com
pany , and yesteidny forenoon received a re
ply , stating that there weio no men travel
ing for that comp.-iny.outsldo of Vermont.
Among those who were Inveigled Into sign
ing contracts for tombstones are George
Damon , who signed for a SISOU monument ,
T. L. Marcy nnd tlio Jolin T. Baldwin estate
forT > Ot ) each , and C. C. Bump and Mrs. A. 13.
Casey , who each bargained for a SJ50 stono.
These figures do not represent the net loss
which will have to be shouldered by each
one , us the disclosure of the scheme bo fora
Eastman had had an opportunity to get rid
of his contracts nnd got out of the city pre
vented the same from working.
' Kastman Is now lying ill nt the house of
Ira Plainer , nt thoccnierof Broadway and
( ilcn avenue , where ho goes by the nauio of
Hunt. Ills wife and child arc with him. Ho
Is kept under constant surveillance , so that
every move Is known by tno uolico as soon as
it Is made1. He refuses to give up tno con
tracts which have ueen signed by the vari
ous parties , or oven present them for exam
ination , to find out whether or not they cor
respond with the ones which arc in tlio pos
session of the signers. The most of the vic
tims care for is to get back their contracts ,
and if Eastman persists In his refusal to
giro them up It is probable that proceedings
will bo brought against him on a charge of
cheating by fnlso pretenses.

Itailrond Cases Will Bo Argued Today
' 1'rocccdlii .
Yesterday's s.
In federal court yesterday morning Judge
Shtras , In referring to the railroad cases
which are now pending against tno flvo main
trunk lines entering at this point , stated that
ho had held a consultation with Judge Love ,
and that they had come to the conclusion that
there was no use in waiting for a full bench ,
and that the question as to the remanding of
the case to the state court could Just as well
be decided now us to wait until the Mav
term at DCS Molnoi , an it was not at ail
certain that Judge Culdwell would bo thcro
at that time.
John N. Baldwin , one of the railroad attor
neys , wanted n time set for the hearing of
the arguments pro nnd con. The Judge
stated that thcro was not one chance In a
hundred that any argument that might bo
made In the case would affect him one -way
or another , as ho had already rendered ono
argument , in a similar case , and he was not
likely to change his mind. He was willing
that it should be argued , however , and bo ho
S3t tomorrow ns the day ufon which ho
would hear arguments. At that thno John
W. Carey of Milwaukee , J. W. Blvtho of
Burlington , T. S. Wright of Chicago , N. M.
Hubhard of Cedar Hapids , will bo present In
the interests of the various ro.ids which they
represent , and will bo assisted by Mr. John
N. Baldwin ol this city In the cuso. What
ever decision may bo rendered by the court
In this Instance , the c-iso will probably be ap
pealed by the losing party to tbo federal supreme
premo court.
After this point has been , settled , the case
of Grant against the Union Pacific was re
sumed. The evidence on the side of the
plaintiff was all in by noon , and In the after
noon the testimony in favor of tha railroad
company was Introduced. Six witnesses
wcro put upon tbo stand , and the trial pro
gressed with such alarming rapidity that by
11:30 : o'clock all the six witnesses who had
been subpoenaed for the occasion had tcsti-
ilcd , and the court had to take a recess until
this morning in order to allow other wit
nesses to DO obtained.

Shortly after 11 o'clock Tuesday night Mrs.
J. C. Miller died ut tbo residence of Mrs , R.
P. Scaly , U03 Tourtu nvonuo , aged forty
years. The death was tno result of an acci
dent \vhtcu bcfoll Mrs , Miller last August ,
At that tlmo she was thrown froran carriage ,
and ono of her limbs wus broken by the force
of the fall , Ever since the most strenuous
efforts hnyo been made to save the Injured >
member , but Jo no purpose , and a day or two
ago the physician announced that the only '
way wbercby her life could possibly bcjsaved
wus bv the amputation ot Iho limb. Mrs.
Mllior was somewhat fearful of the result ,
but she realized the critical condition she
\VUH In , and nt last consented to have the act
perfouned. She was placed upon the lablo
Tuesday oven Ing and the limb was ampu
tated , but the shock attending tbo operation
was too severe for tbo fcoble body to stand ,
and shortly after It had been completed she
passed nway.
During the months that succeeded tbo nccl-
acnt , the deceased bore the suffering that it
occasioned with such heroic fortitude ns to
win the admiration of nil who know her. She
was always loved on account of her beauties

A. BK ! f clieme to Get Possession of
Valuable Property.
MEAHVH.I.E , Pa. , March 25. [ Special Tele
gram toTunBEn.J A meeting of the Her-
rington family of Crawford county has been
held in this city and an association formed
for the purpose of attempting to get pos
session of a very valuable picco of prop
erty in tbo heart of the city of Chi
cago. James Herrington , sr. , was a
surveyor , and assisted in laying out
the city of Chicago. This was sixty years
ago and Mr. Horrlneton pre-empted ICO acres
of land. Later his son , James HcrrinRton ,
jr. , sold the land , forcing the name of his
father. The original deed on the land was
recorded nnd was among the as
sets of James Herrington. sr. , at
the ttrao of his death In East Falrfleld
township , Crawford county , many years
ego. Air. John Harris of Chicago , represent
ing the Illinois branch of the Herrington
lamily , met with the relations here and ar
rangements were made for a vigorous prose
cution of the caso. An effort will bo maOo to
seeuro the services of Col. Robert (3. Inger-
sell ns counsel. The land In question Is
almost fabulous1 in value , ns on It is situated
tbo depot of the Cnicago & Rock Island
railway.
It Is not the extremes of heat nnd cold so
much as the sudden changes in temperature
that cause certain climates to bo uuhoalthful.
When , however , the system is Invigorated
with Ayer's Sursaparllla , thcso changes are
rarely attended with injurious results.
O
ChlcnjriVs Drainage t'niial.
CHICAGO. March 25. Chicago's drainage
canal trustees today adopted resolutions
virtually requesting the Illinois legislature to
amend the law so that the canal need-bo only
ten feet deep instead of fourteen to eighteen
feet. President Prondergast , in an interview
after the meeting , declared that tbo idea was
visionary that lake vessels might tver go
down the Mississippi river or to the Illinois
river. He held that ten foot depth would
accommodate all vessels that would over pass
up to Chicago through the Illinois river , no
matter how greatly the latter stream Is Im
proved. Judge Prendorgast said the proposed
amendment would effect ' a saving of $25,000-
000 in the cost of tho'canal. Ten feet deptn
would empty the Chlcaco river flvo times
every twenty-four hours and tno dilution of
the scwago would bo so great as to render
the flow perfectly odorless. Peoria would bo
the only possible sufferer , and , according to
Judge Prendergast , the city of Chicago could
butter afford to furnish Peoria with a new
water supply system than to Imlld the canal
under tlio present statute. The judge ridi
culed the bill Introduced in the legislature
today to repeal the drainage law , and intl-
mnted that these making the proposition did
not know what they were talking about.
