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 nary vitality might produce temporarily en couraging symptoms, but they really V* pected death w ithin a week at loast. The pulse sank into the forties and remained there for days. Still he gained perceptibly in vivacity and nonruge, and scouted the idea t hat, his condition was dangerous. To the Doctor, on the sixth day, be said: “Why, Dm'tor. lam suffering very littl" Pjijn. Of course I'll get well; why shouldn t About this time distinct signs of healing were visible about the edges of the wound, the patient's appearance Isgsu to improve, *nd With utis Ui force andfreouenkr ol the l puls*noreasd. A slow but steady sub side* of the fever then set in and con tigv- fill at the end of the twelfth day the phyian said: “un forced to believe that Weenies will reoor.

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." •'Hough on Bile” Filin Small granules, small doss, big reauits, ukswit in operation, don’t disturb the stitfduvit Mtc and iftc. 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.
