DAILY ENQUIRER-BUN: COLUMBUS. GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 17, 1886. •MLLIANT DETECTIVE WORK. IM« •fthx H*»t Job. TirnM b; I ho Lute (lenr*e IMft-i Man Who was Too Clover for the lihrewiteet Cruoku of III. II.y. New York, November 15.—The death of Detective George Elder has loosened the tongues of many of his old comrades and . caused many of ills clever and daring ex ploits to be" recalled. In the last year of the war, a time when police methods were not nearly as perfect as they have since become, Elders professional eye noticed the suspicions movements of a quartet of crooks In East Fourth street. Every eve ning for several months he noticed that they left the city by train and did not re turn till next morning. One day lie fol lowed them to Bethel, Conn., but they suspected something and their conduct gave no clew to their real design. One morning the Bethel bank was robbed of 180,000 In gold and notes. The burglary nod been daringly planned and well executed. It was before the days of combination safes, and the bank kept its valuables in n strongly built stone vault in the basement. The morning after the robbery, when the cashier went down to open the vault the lock would not yield. There was nothing susplaious about the exterior of of the vault, but ofter repeated efforts the key was laid aside and a lock smith sent for from New York. The next day the door was forced open and it was teen that a tunnel had been dug under the vault and entrance gained by knocking a Stone llag out of the door. In order to de lay discovery the thieves had wedged the lock of the door on the inside. They had started their tunnel in a private house a block away and had worked at it every night for over two months. Elder knew it was the work of the men lie had follow ed,and with Detective McCord ho tracked them down. The money was found hid den in a hollow tree m the woods miles away. Joe Purdy, Jack Wright and the Adams, father and son, Herved time for the burglary. RUNNING DOWN A FORGER. The career of George McDonald, the Bank of England forger, is a striking in stance of Elder’s pertinacity in tracking criminals. Elder detected him in three attempts at forgery here and drove him to England. Ho is now a life prisoner in Mill- bank. Thellrst time lie caught Elder’s eye lie was in Houston street In 1874. lie was in company with a professional thief, and, therefore, Elder took an instantane ous mind photograph of his handsome face and figure. Shortly afterward extensive frauds were committed on Duden Fre'urs and Arnold, Constublo & Co. by means of a forged check. The description of the plausible gentleman who carried on the negotiations tallied with that of Elder’s new acquaintance. He was arrested und the goods found in his house, bill by some trick he escaped conviction. His next attempt was to defraud Jay Cooke & Co. of $110,000. Elder became acquainted With his plan in advance and notified the firm. McDonald had ordered $140,000 worth of government bonds, for wliieh ho was to hand over three certified cheeks. Elder arranged that the parties should meet, and the bonds were produced but not delivered, MeDou Id came, but saw somcthii.i' suspicions, and .swallowed the cheeks. The law had no bold on him for his attempt, but Elder said to him: “Mark my words, McDonald, you can’t work your •Ofiotnes Here; we’ll find you every time.’’ f A FORTUNE STOLEN AND LOST. McDonald took the advice and er seed the water. Six months later, when the Bank of England authorities found that ho had swindled them to the tune of a quar ter of a million McDonald was on an ocean steamer on his way to New York. The English detectives did not know his name, and had no aocurate description of him, but they cabled over the news of his crime and his methods, and that was enough for Elder. That experienced de tective had studied McDonald’s methods closely and with a feeling akin to admira tion. lie was waiting on the dock when the steamer arrived and arrested his man. MuDonald’s stolen fortune came on anoth er ship and was seizod. This time, thanks to the v.iluablo assistance rendered by Elder, there was no flaw in the chain of evidence and McDonald was extradited, eent to England and convicted there. IN FOR LIFE. Some years ago, whiel in England, Elder paid a vl-.lt to Millbank and asked to see MoDonal 1 in his convict dress and close cropped hair, and without his ftno beard and moustache, no trace vomaiuod of .the sleek mid plausible “stock broker” of former days. After some minutes of de sultory conversation the convict throw up both hands snpplicatingly and said to Elder with terrible earnestness: “They aay I have got a life sentence; wlmt dotjij that mean?” Tiwe was a loi>3 pause, and then the 'lniliiiliy governor said gently: “It means that you have to resign yourself to stay- iug here for t.hj rest of your days.” “Oh, don’t any that,'’ pleaded McDon ald: "anything but that. Hay tweuty, thinty or forty years, but give mo some thing to hope for. I am a young man and the thought of never-ending captivity is Intolerable,” ’ Of course, no assuranoo could be given iun.t, as under tho English law no applica tion for commutation of a life sentence will be considered by the home depart ment until twenty-one years after sentence has been delivered. THE LORD BOND ROBBERY. In Minch, 1866, when news reached head quarters of tho #2,100,000 Lord bond rob- oery the first man thought of by Capt. Young was Detective Elder. Mr. Lord said to him almost in tears: “I must have those bonds, Elder, but I dont care for the men. I cannot afford to prosecute.” After months of ceaseless effort here and in Eu rope. Elder found that Hod Ennis and Lew Pettlngill were concerned in tho affair and locked them up. Then he negotiated with t hem under the authority of the dis trict attorney,and as a result #1,800,00 worth of the bonds were returned to Mr. Lord, who made Elder a very handsome money present. COUNTERFEITERS BROUGHT DOWN. The untiring efforts of Elder to break u p the gangs of Brooklyn and Motthaven (just across Harlem bridge! counterfeiters, who for move than a year flooded this state With spurious coin and notes, would alone give him an enviable record. For months together he frequented their hauuts in dis guise, playing the part of boon companion with them and their Underlings until he won their confidence und found out, where they made the stuff Their centre of op erations was a comfortable frame house hidden in trees on a lonely road near Mot - haven. Elder and Chris McDougal, with a posse of men, waited in the woods near at hand all through one wet night until the chiefs of the gang had assembled and then surrounded the place. The counter feiters were captured and a cart-load of dies and tools and a big haul of money was secured. Withal Elder was a well educated, re fined and cultured man, unassuming in demeanor and well liked by his comrades. He was a fine specimen of the old-time de tective, a survivor of the good old days. rtllCKLEK’S ARNICA SALVE.

The reduction of internal revenue and the taking off of revenne stamps from Pro prietary Medicines, no doubt has largely benefited the consumers,as well as relieving tlie burden of home manufacturers. Es pecially is this the case with Green’s Au gust Flower and Boschee’s German Syrup, as the reduction of “thirty-six cents per dozen, has been added to increase the size of the bottles containing these remedies, thereby giving one-fifth more medicine in the 75 cents size. The August Flower for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, and the Gorman Syrup for Cough and Lung trou bles, have perhaps, the largest sale of any medicines in the world. The advantage of increased size of the bottles will be greatly appreciated by the 3ick and afflicted, in every town and village in civilized coun tries.
