Al’ A SSIOXTORM AR RYING
an accomplished swindler
WHO HAD MANY WIVES.
He Was Once Known in Washington
and is Now in the Western Pennsyl
vania Penitentiary for Swindling.
From the Washington Post.
During the next seven years the Western
Pennsylvania penitentiary will be the
residence of one of the boldest and
most unscrupulous, one of the
most active and versatile, swindlers
known to the United States. The Pension
Office in this city has just learned that on
Tuesday Jeremiah Travis was convicted in
the United States District Court at Scran
ton, Pa., and sentenced to seven years im
prisonment for masquerading as a specia
examiner of the Pension Bureau, ani
taking fees from pensioners on the pie
tense that b<; would have their pen
sions increased. Fully 500 pensioners lave
paid him fees ranging from #1 50 to S2O.
His victims were mostly in Pennsylvania,
Illinois, lndiunu and New Jersey. Some
times he passed as specia] examiner, some
times as a Pension Office detective, fre
quently as an ex-Commissionor of Pensions,
and occasionally as the present Commis
sioner of Pensions, as be-t suited his pur
pose. He sometimes appeared with an im
mense pair of epaulettes on his shoulders,
which he paraded before the country as his
insignia of office.
During the last few few years he has beer
making a specialty of the pension businasi
but it never has been by any means his on’
swindle. He has been by turns a doet l '
and a clergyman, and wa's actually in
session of a pulpit when he was arresteiiflt
Wilkesbarre, Pa., last May. Rev. A. *f
ton was his name at that time, but iytbe
course of his eventful career be has flared
at various times as Robert Rayburn, Vilen
Rufton, James Wilson, J. Thomas Fev.
John Iliff, Col. Bates, Rev. A. iafton,
Oa] it. John A. Moore, Hon. J. ABently,
ex-Commissioner of Pensions, ad about
two dozen other aliases.
During the war he operated ynong the
soldiers around Washington ? a card
sharper and runner for faro luks. Soon
after the war, he killed a cans boat cap
tain at Buffalo, escaping witlb sentence of
only five years in the State prion.
A MAN WTTn MANT (IVES.
After his release, in 1873. Returned up in
Syracuse and in Brockpori N. Y. At the
time he was still young ait handsome, bold
and captivating, and his (ivorite prey was
woman—lovely, simple yoman. lie loved
and married them by fhe dozen, maids,
widows and all sorts, aid invariably disap
peared with their mono’ hi a very short
time. At Brockport, N. Y., he mar
ried a Miss Wdib, and in a
week afterwards began a flirtation
with a widow named Parsons,
whom he wedded ude - the title of Maj.
Sheldon Burleigh, (J. 6. A. He tired of her
in a few montns, weit West, settled in
South Bend, Ind., uniter the name of H. C.
Pomeroy, and urdertDok to promote doubt
ful pension claims. There he married a
Miss Mason, mid sooi deserted her and next
appeared in Wabash, Ind., as J. W. Jenks.
owner of a California gold mine. He
liecame acquainted with Mrs. M. Stewart,
and, after a short cotrtehip, married her,
inducing her to sell hir farm for ?1,800 in
cash, and leave her iome to become the
mistress of a palatial mansion on the Pacific
coast. On the way t* California he bor
rowed the money at Clicago on the pretense
of taking better"care of it and was never
again seen by the nevly-made wife.
Nothing more was hiard of him until 1879,
when he turned up i Alleghany county,
Pennsylvania, under the name of John
Hoak, alias Col. Bat®, etc. Here he was
arrested on the charge of grand larceny. At
the December term, .879, he was convicted
in the Court of Qua iter Sessions, and sen
tenced to the Alleghany penitentiary for
three years.
HIS CAREER f?T CUMBERLAND.
After serving his term he went to Cum
berland, Md., and began his career as a bogus
Special Exaininor >f Pensions, giving nis
name as A. C. Web!). He also laid siege to
the heart of Mrs. J. P. Anderson, a widow
with one son. She jurrendered and became
Mrs. A. C. Webb. He emplooyed her boy
at a salary of #2 50 a day, but never paid
him. When the officials from the Pension
Bureau arrived at Cumberland he ske
daddled, and was traced to Marietta, Pa.,
where he was arrested.
On Mav 20, 1884, under the name of J. A.
Moore, alias J. W. Jenks, he was convicted
in the United States Court at Philadelphia,
and sentenced to two years in the Eastern
penitentiary, for forgery in a pension claim.
On the day of his release from that insti
tution he was re-arrested by the Sheriff of
Burlington county, New Jersey, and taken
to Mount Holly, where he was tried for ob
taining money from pensioners under the
false pretense' that he was a United States
detective and special examiner of the Pen
sion Bureau. lie was sentenced to one year
in tho Burlington county jail from which he
was released just in time to lie arrested last
May at Wilkesbarre, Pa.,where, as the Rev.
A. 1 lafton he was preaching to a congrega
tion in a soldier district, telling them how to
get to heaven.
Jeremiah Travis is now a man of about 50,
and Tioga county, Pennsylvania, has the
honor of being his native county.
WEENIES’ TOUGH BRAIN.
A Rifle Ball Goes Through a Man’s
Brain and the Owner Recovers.
From the St. Ltmis Globe-Democrat.
On the evening of July '*), at the enrl of
an oppressively hot day, W. S. Weemes, a
well-to-do widower of 57 years, was sitting
in his house in Springfield, 0., where he has
lived alone for several years. He had
labored hard all day, nnd being fatigued he
fell into a dose, with his head resting upon
his arms oil the sill of an open window.
How long he lay in this position he does not
know, but dusk" liad settled down into dark
ness when he was suddenly awakened by
the report of a gun or pistol near him. This
he heard distinctly, but he immediately fell
to the floor in an unconscious condition, and
from t lust time he has no knowledge of
wbat transpired until he came to himself
about noon the next day in St. John’s Hos
pital, whither he had been conveyed ulxmt
midnight in the city patrol wagon.
A couple of policeman passing his house
about 11 o’clock heard groans within, and,
uiKin examination, found the old man lying
on the floor with a pool of blood about his
head. The hospital surgeon was called, and
found that Weenies had been shot just aliovo
the left temple. The ball hail made a
fearful bole, ami evidently passed diago
nally across the head, tending somewlmt.
downward. Its track had lieen so near the
socket of the right eye as to force that organ
forward almost out of the hood. It was re
garded as useless to attempt to do anything
lor him, and lie merely reeetved such minor
attentions as natural human sympathy sug
gested. When, however, he began to re
cover consciousness the surgeon carefully
dressed the wound.
Ho found the bole in the skull was so large
that he could insert the forefinger its whole
length directly into the brain, and from a
depth as great as this fragments of the skull
were picked out. Ktill the surgeon had no
ho|>es of recovery. Other surgeons were
ealled in and they reached similar conclu
sions. They thought the patient’s extraordi

Thomas Jefferson’s Ingenuity.
Frank Stockton in September Century.
‘I think it is not generally known with
hat pleasure and zeal Jefferson brought
IS mind to bear. not. onlv nmn t,he Hcvel-
pmeut of his somewhat, grand ideas in
egard to a home, but upon the most minute
md peculiar contrivances for convenience
and adornment. He drew plans and made
estimates for nearly everything that was
built or constructed on his place. He cal
culated the number of bricks to be used in
every part of his buildings; and his family
now possess elaborately drawn plans of such
bits of household furnishing as ‘curtain
valences'and the like. Many of his ideas in
regard to building and furnishing he brought
with him from France; but more of
them had their origin in his brain.
There were no bedsteads in his house,
but in every chamber there was an alcove
in the wall in which a wooden framework
was built which supported the bed. His
own sleeping arrangements during the life
time of his wife were of a very peculiar
nature; in the partition between "two cham
bers was an archway, and in this archway
was the double bed; one chamber was Mr.
Jefferson’s room, and the other was his
wife’s dressing-room; when he arose in the
morning he got out of bed into his own
room, and Mrs. Jefferson got out into her
room. After his wife’s death her room be
came his study, and the partition wall be
tween it and the library being taken down,
the whole was thrown into the present large
apartment. Over the archway in which
the bed is placed is a long closet reached by
a step-ladaer placed in another closet ut the
foot of the bed. In this were stored in sum
mer the winter clothes of the family, and in
winter their summor habiliments. At the
other side of the arch there is a small door,
so that persons going from one room to the
other had no need to clamber over the bed.
“In the smaller chamber, when it became
his study, stood Mr. Jefferson’s writing
chair, which was made to suit his peculiar
needs; the chair itself was high-backed,
well -rounded and cushioned, and m front of
it extended a cushioned platform, on which
Mr. Jefferson found it very pleasant to
stretch his legs, being sometimes troubled
with swellings of the smaller veins of these
limbs. The writing table was so made that
it could be drawn up over this platform,
legs and all, and pushed down when it was
not in use. The ton of this table turned on
a pivot; on one side of it were his writing
materials, and on the other was the little
apparatus by which he made copies of all
his letters. By his side was another revolv
ing table, on which his books of reference
lav, or were held open at proper angles.
Near him also stood a pair of large globes;
and, if he wished to study anything outside
of this world, he had in the room two long
telescopes mounted on brass tripods. Con
venient also were his violins, one a Cremona,
and the other the bass-viol saved from the
Shadwell fire. Besides the bookshelves and
the somewhat simple furniture of the
library, there were a number of oddly con
trived" little closets, in which were stored his
multitudinous manuscripts. There is a
writing table now in the possession of the
family, which was frequently used by Mr.
Jefferson, and which is very ingeniously
contrived. Two of its four legs are hollow,
and in these run rods resting upon springs
by which the table can he easily elevated,
the other two legs being also extensible, but
in a different way. When Mr. Jefferson
was tired of writing in a sitting position, he
could stand up and raise this table to the
desired height. When he wished to use it
as a reading stand, the top could to inclined
at any angle, and a strip of brass was
brought into use to keep the books and pa
pers from sliding off.
“Opening from the library was a large
room inclosed with glass, which was in
tended for a conservatory, but was used by
Mr. Jefferson as his work-room. There he
had a work-bench, with all sort* of carpen
ter’s tools, with which he constructed a
groat many of the small conveniences he
invented.’’
The Hoodooee Promptly Thrashed the
Would Be Hoodooer.
From the Minneapolis Tribune.
There was trouble in the Windsor House
barber shop the other day. It was all
because of jealousy and superstition. There
is a nice looking colored porter there with a
sweet, colored voice. His name is Henry
and he is a very nice sort of a fellow, at
least that is what the customers of the shop
all say, and they would not say it if it were
not true. Now this Henry has a rival. He
dislikes Henry for two' reasons. First,
because Henry works in such a handsome
shop while he is employed in a very poor
sort of a place indeed, and then he dislikes
Henry because he iH more popular with the
ladies. This explains why they have not
been friends.
The day on which the trouble occurred
Henry’s rival appeared at the shop. He
called Henrv out and they had some con
vernation. During the conversation Henry
looked calm and cool. He wore a sarcastic
smile. His rival looked mod. He wore an
umbrella. They talked quietly for awhile
and then seemed to forget the existence of
other people besides themselvee. Then
almost everybody could hear them.
“T’ink yer a stua’t niggab, don’t yer?”
said the rival.
“Wha’yer doin’round heah? Want to
raise a row? But yo’ can't do it, no how. I
ain’t a scrappin with such trash as yo’.”
“You’se afraid ter fight me. I’d kill yo’,
I would, if I ever fought yo’.”
Henry greeted this with lofty scorn.
“Yo' couldn’t fight nothin’, nohow. I’ll
fix yo’ black skin ro’ you’.”
Henry said not a word,
“I’ll make vo wish that vo had never seed
me, I will, I'm a talkin’, heah me f”
The rival made a sudden move and got
inside the shop. With a rapid motion he
started to open the umbrella which he car
riJ.
“I’ll fix yo', yo’ stuck-up nigga’. I’ll fix
yo’ dude shot) sose Twoli’t be no good.”
But lie hau spoken too quick. He had not
much more than uufnsteued the bund before
Henry was on top of him.
He toyed with tliut rival.
“Yo’ would hoodoo this shop, would yo’ ?
I’ll just fix yo’ a little. Raising a umbrell’
in de shop. Yo and like to keep us from doin’
any business. I’ve got some cumb'iuitious
in my pocket, too. Yo’d like to hoodoo
them, I s’pose. Oh, I’ll do the fixin.’ ”
And he did. When Henry got through
with the chap with the umbrella he was the
most demoralised looking rival tliat ever
came out of a burlier shop.
“Yo’ see,” explained Henry after hi* late
opponent bail disappeared, thoroughly van
fuished, "he’d a hoodooed the shop, suali, If
hadn’t slopped him. If yo’ lick the man
that r*hw the umbrella in a place tile
hoodoo don’t count. Besides killin’ the shop
off, I wouldn’t have won on a horse or base
ball comb’nation for a month. That’s why
I had to pound him ao."

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1887.
A ROMANTIC STORY.
A Fugitive from Justice Makes a For
tune and Returns Home.
A Memphis dispatch says: The last act
of a tragedy begun eighteen years ago was
concluded in the circuit court at Bolivar,
Tenn., last night, when Guy Smith was
of the charge of murder. On
Feb. 2,18 b!), at Salisbury, Tenn., a little
town on the Memphis and Charleston rail
road, a younger brother of Smith became
involved in a difficulty with two men named
Bowden and Head, well-to-do residents of
the vicinity. Young Smith was getting
the worst of the affray, when Guy drew a
revolver mid rushed to the resene. Two
pistol shots rang out, and Bowden and Head
fell to the ground, shot through the Ixxiy.
Then the man who had done the deed, to
save his brother from the indignity of a
thrashing, threw away his smoking pistol,
and boarding a train which was moving
out from the depot near by was borne away
to Chattanooga. By that one act he had
forfeited a nourishing business and the com
panionship of wife, children and friends,
and become a fugitive. From Chattanooga
he went to St. bonis and Kansas City, and
then took refuge in the plains of Montana.
There he lived for several years, and by
hard work and “taking his own part'’
whenever necessary, became a partner in a
prosperous cattle business.
All this time he went by the name of Rob
ert Brown. He dared not write home and
his family and friends were left in doubt as
to whether hewns alive or dead. He could
not rest content even wit h a fortune in view
mid finally turned the ranch over to bis
partner and wandered away to the City of
Mexico. There lie was recognised by' sev
eral of his old comrades in Forrest’s Cavalry
in which command he had risen by gal
lant Conduct on the field to the rank of Co
lonel. They kept his secret, and he em
barked in business there. Fortune favored
him once more, and everything he touched
turned to gold. He remained in the City of
Mexico six or eight yours, and then, over
come by a longing to see his wife and chil
dren, at all hazards, he started home. For
some reason he did not carry out this de
sign, but stopjx'd on the way at a farm he
owned near Newport, Ark.
There he lived until a few weeks ago,
when the welcome news came that the two
men he had shot were not dead. They had
recovered, after a long struggle against the
effects of their terrible wounds, and then
left the country. At the time of the shoot
ing the grand jury was in session. It was
reported to that body that Bowden and
Rend had died of their wounds, and an in
dictment was at once found against Smith,
charging him with murder in the first de
gree. Through some oversight this indict
ment was left standing as originally drawn.
This fact was reported to Smith, but
it weighed nothing against his yearn
ing to see his family and clear his
name. So, as soon as possible after hearing
the news, he returned to his old home. He
found the little children he had left eighteen
years before now grown to manhood and
womanhood, and the handsome young wife
a grave and middle-aged matron. His ar
rival was reported to the authorities, and
in due time the trial camp off at Bolivnr,
the county seat of Hardeman county,
wherein Salisbury, also, is situated. It re
sult'd in the acquittal of the accused, as al
ready stated. Col. Smith is now a wealthy
man. Ho has had enough of wandering,
and intends to devote the remainder of his
life to the domestic duties and pleasures
from which he was so long debarred.
Phil Armour’s Sunday School.
From the Chicago Herald.
When the Armour Mission, up on Thirty
third street, was startl'd with its $500,090
endowment, it was hard to decide just how
to manage the religious end of it. Joseph
Armour had directed in the will by which
he gave it SIOO,OOO that it should be nun
sectarian. Phil Armour, who added $400,-
000 to the original fund, was altogether op
fiosed to the Mission being anything but a
iroad, humanitarian charity, with plenty
of religion, of course, but of that generic
sort only which would to as acceptable to
the Romanist as to the Methodist, and as
agreeable to the Episcopalian as to the Bap
tist. The reverend gentleman who was final! v
selected to take charge of the religious
welfare of the infltutiori was given, in gen
eral terms, an men of this purpose of the
founders. They did not want sectarianism
of auv kind or degree. Good doctrine from
the Bible, without any theology, was what
ho was asked to give. He began with en
ergy, and ran along for some lime on his
own idea of what the little children and
the parents who filled the benches needed.
One day he received a summons to come
down town to the office. He got there
promptly and was beckoned over to the big
packer’s desk. Armour wheeled around iifi
bis chair a couple of times as if to select his
vocabulary, looked the nmn of God over
carefully, and then launched forth his own
ideas of theology.
“You’re giving those youngsters too much
grape amt canister,” he began, slowly.
“Hell tire and brimstone are all right for
the old sinners, but the Mission isn’t for
them. Now," he added, with the same em
phasis he’d use toonoof his office clerks. “I
want you to change around and try another
plan. If you don’t, you’ll drive all these
children away. When you begin your ser
vice in the morning you can read a chanter
from the Bible, something short. Then
have a little prayer, something short; not
longer than that” —measuring off atout a
foot with his forefingers. “Then I want
you to sing—sing a good many times ” he
re|>eatod, _ emphatically. “Then tell a
story,” he continued, “something with a
point to it and a moral, but short. Then
you can have another little prayer, but
mind you. not longer than that”—holding
up his hands about six inches apart this
time.
“Mr. Armour,” remarked the preacher,
rather jocosely, “I suppose you can run a
packing house, but, you don’t know much
about, religion.”
“Well,” said the builder of the mission,
very sharply, “will you try it?”
“Oh, yes,' 1 was the answer.
Phil Armour’s theological scheme has
been in vogue ever since that interview
and has toon a great success. He goes up
every Htinday to the morning children’s
service and watches the thing grow.
“Don’t you mind the old fellows or the
played-out sinners," he constantly adjures
tho minister in charge. “If you see an old
fellow in the gutter, even, don’t stop, but
keep your eye on the little fellow abeiul.
Look out for him.”
Armour’s theology has filled up the
benches—and they hold 1,800 j ample. The
preacher, ever sine" tin* sharp interview at
tho In Halle street office, has tsvn working
on the new tack. The service is a most in
tc resting one. According to orders, the
grown folks are entirely igliored. The
whole service is for tbe little ones. The
prayers are short— not longer than Armour
Indicated by Inn two forefingers. There is
singing pretty i early all tbe time. The
little felloe , are drilled to recite verses or
to sing solo*. And yet the tonehes are
almost filled with the purents and grown
toothers nnd sisters of tli little ones. There
are twice as many at this children’s service
in the morning as in tho evening when a
sermon is preached.
““You can do wliat you like at night.”
Armour told tbe preacher in an encouraging
way, after this interview. “You can preach
a sermon if you like, for I’ll never to there
except in the morning. But at Hint chil
dren* service 1 want it my way until 1 see
it won’t work."
Hut it did work. The dominie at tho mis
sion now admits tliut after ail Fhii Armour
knew better what would fill the benches
than a trained tln>)ngian. Rent of all,
arsl this pleas'* Armour most, all envd*
gather at tie 1 Mission to bring or sea the
children, liu/xlndsof Catholics among tbe
others.

You could act a Fine Piano at a very low price
and on most remarkably easy terms for pay
ment, wouldn't you buy ii rlpht now?
Well, you can do just that very thins right
now, but not some other time.
We happen to have on hand a large number
of Fine Pianos, not quite new, but used, some a
few months and some a year or so, but all with
eases re polished and looking as if fresh from
Factory.
These must t>e sold. Wo need room for New
Stock, and to close them out quick we put prices
very low Indeed much less than actual value
-and also make
Specially Easy Terms!
Routed until t>nid for. Yes. that'* it. A now
plan entirely. Our Quarterly Reutal l’lan. Ton
Quarterly Paymentsbuy* the Piano. The quar
terly rental is ten iki* cent, of the price of Pmno,
and* this paid regularly for ten quarters will buy
the In itruinent.
Thus, if Piano is priced at PJOO, ton quarterly
payments of ss!o will buy it, thus Riving almost
three years for payment.
ANOTHER POINT. Suppose you want a
Fair Piano at small cost. Wvll, wo have them
at §6O, s?">. §‘.M. SlOt) and $12.1 In good order (not
worn out) t hat will do excellent rvicofnr many
years yet. Indeed, we have some grand bar
gains in these, and they are also sold on the
Rental Plan.
These Pianos are represented exactly
as they nrt and w ill be exchanged if not
satisfactory. Wo keep in tune and order
for one year those Bold within the city
limits.
