BUNCO MEN HI9 VICTIM&
rnebler, tha Texas Barbar, Wanted
C More Than Kestitution.
Nr ,v York, May a—“CoL” Charles E.
Morgan, the expert bunco storer who be
* Richard A. E. Goebler, “.he Texas
h her ” into a place on the Bowery several
; ntb ; azo and relieved him of $1,550, the
Cumulated savings of many years, which
ffbad brougut oil to >ew York W invest,
** “arranged Friday before Judge Martme
retrial Two other men were concerned
th ‘teal. One was Edward Eaton, who
lined Morgan, and the other “Lou” Davis,
r‘ -ave straw bail bonds for the men
'eiftrey were arrested and examined be
;L a police magistrate at the Tombs.
* Goebler put the matter in the hands of
, Dector Byrnes, but, tiring ot the p dies
v3 undertook to piav ths detective
Myself. He firet captured Davis on Broad
*"a" before the Astor house, and followed
this ill) by arresting Morgan w hile he was
■“ting at a table in Lyons’ restaurant on
the Bowerv. Morgan pleaded guilty of an
attempt at grand larceny in the first degree.
His counsel urged on Judge Martine to be
lenient on the ground that full restitution
liad been made by the prisoner, and that
the arrest was nothing more than an
attempt on the part of Goebler to extort
money from the bunco steerers themselves.
Goebler admitted to Assistant District
attorney Jerome that after he had arrested
Morgan and had him held by the police jus
fee to await the action of the grand jury
his friends had come to him and proposed a
settlement. They invited him to go over to
a Jersey City hotel, and there they counted
out the $1,530 which Morgan and Eaton
stole from him and gave him $23 more be
sides. They also gave him a through ticket
to Ban Francisco, and stipulated that he
should take the train that night for
the west. Goebler said he took tha
money and the ticket and left the
same night, lut only went as far as
Chicago, where he squandered all the
money. He then returned to New York,
ged sought out the same men who had
given him back the moaey ha lost, and de
manded $5,000 in cash and a round trip
ticket to Europe. This proposition, Mor
gan said, ho refused to listen to. Ha
said that he (lid not intend to be black
ma led by any “Texas barber,” and that be
would serve a term in prison rather than
comply with such extortionate demands.
Goebler said he then determined to prose
cute the gang, and went before the grand
jury and had them indicted.
Judge Martine was somewhat amazed at
these startling revelations, and said that in
view of the fact that the thieves had made
restitution he would sentence Morgan to two
years and six mouths in state prison—a
much lighter sentence than would have been
imposed under other circumstances.
A LOSS TO SCIENCE!.
The Death of a Leper Whose Relatives
Objected, to Dissection.
From the Nexe York Times.
Minneapolis, Minn., April 25.—There
died here this week a man named Hyland,
who was famous in medical circles because
it was believed that he had a well-defined
case of leprosy. The various phases of the
disease were watched with untiring interest
by the profession, and every experiment
was tried to obtain control of it, but with
out effect. The man was in poor circum
stances. and he was treated by a physician
who is a well-known specialist in skin dis
eases. free of charge, in order that he might
be able to make a study of leprosy.
Whch death came this physician refused
to issue a certificate on the ground that he
was uot certain wtiat was the real cause of
death, although there has never been any
doubt that the man was a leper. The health
department of course refused to issue a
burial permit unless the physician made
out i-’ne certificate of death. This was what
the physician desired,because it would make
it necessary to hold a post-morte n exami
nation to determine the cause of death, and
this examination might lead to the discov
ery of facts in regard to leprosy which
would be of inestimable service to the med
ical profession and to humanity.
But before Hyland died he made his wife
promise to keep his body out of the dissect
ing room. He was fully aware of the na
ture of his illness and that the medical men
would undoubtedly desire to dissent his body
in the interest of humanity. This prospect
was appalling to him. His widow was as
much opposed to any such performance as
her husband had been. She applied for a
burial permit, which was refused by the
city officials for the reasons given. Upon
her return home two police oflicors visited
her and declared that if she would not per
mit a post mortem to be made the body of
her husband would be taken from her and
sent to a hospital, where it would be dis
sected.
The woman protested against the outrage,
and it was only after the interference of
several gentlemen interested in the family
that the health department issued a burial
permit on the physician’s certificate that
Hyland died of “tuberculosis.” On the
record at the health office the word “Lep
rosy” is also written in the column of the
causes of death.

C lergymen’s Sons.
From the Boston Advertiser.
There is an old slander, now happily
nearly extinct, to the effect that ministers’
;? s are, as a rule, more lavish sowers of
'lid oats than the sons of laymen. Tho
abject of the clergyman’s son in journal
-m has never yet been regarded as an issue,
nd yet the profusion with which some of
“.® newspaper offices of Boston are sprinkled
ith the sons of ministers might well load
0 a discussion of the topic. In the office of
’’tie of the Boston dailies, recently, a group
1 six attaches of the staff were in conversa
on, when it b.-cam 9 known that of the sir

German locomotive builders have formed a

at five years. For a long time this trade
suffered through excessive competition, but
about a year ago the makers began gradu
ally to advance their prices. In the tenders
received by the Prussian State Railway a
few days ago the prices quoted were much
above those in former tenders. For express
locomotives with tenders $12,725 was asked,
for ordinary passenger locomotives with
tenders $12,212, and for ordinary freight
locomotives $10,875 by one maker and sll,-
220 by the rest. Tha increase compared
with former tenders represent $2,000 in the
