an hereutary criminal.
Miles Ogle cate of a family of crooks,
who first becams sown in New York state,
where they haurtd the rivers in company
with a band of tbives of the lowest ilk, and
while ostensib y pursuing a respectable oc
cupation preyed n the large and small
craft of those watirs and the surrounding
country. Brougfc up under such circum
stances and with tgabonds and outlaws as
his associates, it * not astonishing that
when on the tbmhold of manhood he
should begin work s a counterfeiter. From
his German paronage he inherited that
ingenuity, craft, ad thrift which distin
guished his subfcquent years. Miles
was born in Nei York state in 1841,
nod the family oqisistod, besides, of his
father George and wife and his brother
John. About the tine that Miles attained
his majority his faher bought a flat-boat
near Cincinnati, on lie Ohio river, and the
whole familv embateed on an expedition of
plunder. They flatted down the Ohio
toward the Hississipi, and before they had
pursued this course >f life many days they
were suspected of sme robberies which had
recently occurred abng the banks and an
attempt was made at their capture. But
the old fellow skillblly eluded his pursuers,
but after a few da,*s the party was agaiu
under suspicion, aid the legal authorities on
toth sides of the rrver made renewed efforts
to find them.
Just at this tim* the boat was lying off
Rockfoid, Ind., aid everybody was below
but tue vigilant Jules. He saw a man jump
on deck at the otler end of the boat and he
knew they were ii danger. The officer made
a rush toward Idles, who without an in
stant’s hesitation licked up a gun at his side
and emptied It at the new-comer. The
officer took a comle of steps, threw up his
arms and fell dead to the deok. Miles was
arrested on the boat, and after a short thial
was sentenced to five years in the Indiana
state prison for murder. His light sentence
was attributed tc his comparatively cleau
record at the time and t>o other ameliorating
circumstances.
JOINS THS RENO GANG.
When he was discharged from prison ho
had improved his mind to suoh an extent,
through the training he had received while
there, that he was at onoe recognized by the
infamous Reno gang as a most desirable
acquisition. He was soon admitted to mem
bership in this band of scoundrels and ban
dits, which was then the terror of Southern
Indiana, and while amo g them they acs
tuallv subjected and tyrannized over whole
counties of that state, and the law-abiding
citizens were afraid to organize any scheme
for their capture. In 1868 t e Reno gang,
w ith Ogle, Frank Reno and Mike Rogers as
leaders, made a flying visit to Mills county,
lowa, and before the good people of that
vicinity knew what was going on, tbeso
precious rascals had robbed the safe of the
treasurer of Mills county anti decamped.
But the people of Mills county got mad
right off and decided to bring them back
dead or alive. According!'.' every means
was put in force to effect their capture, and
b few days later they had taken quarters in
the Mills county jail. No facts were lack
ing to prevent a prompt conviction, and the
pious people of that section were once more
settling down in peaceful security, when
me morning their cells were found emptv,
and they wero never seen agaiu in those
parts. The Reno brothers were finally
tynclted, but the wily Ogle escaped.
, Ogle made anew departure and
launched out boldly as a professional coun
terfeiter For a time he was with the no
torious McCartney in Missouri, where he ex
ecuted the printing of a number of $5 bills
from a plate engraved by McCartney. His
leaving Pete was decidedly informal, for
when that gentleman awoke one morning
oe found not only Ogle gone but (75,000

contents was destroyed. They then went to
i ir.cinnati ad the money was pat one
there. Then the detectives struck a clew,
and some of the best men were put to work
on the case. Detective Joyce, the assistant
of Detective Bauer, bought #7OO worth ot
the stuff from a “shover,” and the business
of capturing Ogle began. Ogle was enticed
to Cincinnati on a decoy, disposed of several
hundred dollars worth of the “queer,” and
returned to Memphis The object was to
loarn as much as possible ot his guilt before
arrest.
At Guthrie, Ky., a sleeper was attached
to the train and Bauer was thunderstruck
to see Ogle sitting on the rear platform.
This was the first sight the detectives had
got of him in years. Bauer kept quiet until
the train arrived at Memphis, when Bauer
went out to find his man. It was Christ
mas morning, and Ogle was innocently
looking at the burning of a Catholic church,
and Joyce approached him.
caught at last.
The bland fellow informed Milas that he
wanted #7OO worth of bis bogus cash for a
man of his acquaintance. The shrewd Ogle
sized him up and then notified him thu he
would let him know in the afternoon. They
were to meet by appointment and Joyce
was to get the money at Ogle’s house. The
thing was all planned. Or.e of Bauer’s men
pulled the bell violently and Bauer tried to
gain an entrance at the rear, but the door
was locked. A second latter a side door
was opened and Ogle found the muzzle of a
revolver in his face.
“Throw up your hands,” said the officer.
Ogle hesitated.
“Throw up your hands or down you go,"
and up went the bands. Before reaching
the jail be offered the officer having him In
charge 0500 in good money if he would al
low him to destroy the counterfeit stuff on
bis person. When searched he had ftilO in
genuine monev about him, a pistol and
#3,000 of the ‘ r queer.” For this job be got
six years in the Chester. 111., penitentiary,
where he staid in until 'B9. Hardly had he
got the prison garb from his back when ho
started at bis old tricks again, and bis sen
tence on the 12th inst. to fifteen years in the
Columbus, 0., penitentiary, which inoludos
the payment of a fine of #5,000, is the re
sult of Uts lost attempt to defraud the gov
ernment.
Nothing that Ogle ever did was quite so
clever as h:s counterfeit of the Germania
Bank notes of Ne • Orleans, which f rined
a part of this exploit. The secret service
experts pronounce it the finest counterfeit
in existeiu e to-day. This note was put out
in large quantities by Ogle just after his
release from prison in 1889, aud the secret
service men knew they had little chance of
capturing him after he had once put the
cash into circulation. The notes were put
out in Cincinnati during racing week, and
toe towD was flooded with them, and when
several of tiiese bills passed through tee
clearing house the government officials be
came truly frightened. Through a fellow
named Falk, Ogle’B confederate in this
latest scheme, who bad been caught,
they got a clew of Miles’ where
abouts, and tracked him all over
the oountry. He finally returned to
Cincinnati, and several detectives were at
once on his trail. It Isa rule with "shovers
of the queer” to begin their work about
dark, and it was believed that Ogle was in
Cincinnati on this particular night hard at
work. They were all looking for Ogle at
the Newport bridge, thinking that he would
cross over from Cincinnati. But he didn’t.
About 9:15 o’clock, however, they caught
sight of a tall man walking down the oppo
site side of the bridge. He bad on a slouch
hat, and had grown Burnside whiskers.
"That’s him, Don,” said Detective Bauer,
and just then Ogle’s face came into view
and a revolver impeded his progress. And so
Ogle was caught as a consequence of his
failure to keep faith with his pal, Falk,
whom ho promised to help when Falk was
a res eda fsw months before for partici
pating in the same offense.
No other con v lot had so many tricks as
Miles Ogle for escaping arrest. He had
dozens of aliases, not one-half of which
were known to his most Intimate confeder
ates. He especially prided himself on bis
disguises, in which his best friend failed to
recognize him. He wore his whiskers in
every conceivable style, assuming the man
ners of a banker, a olerk, a farmer, a Boston
dude or a tough, and his action and speech
on such occasions, it is said, were marvel
ous. On one occasion a certain witness
was to swear to bis identity, whioh
would be the decisive testimony of his
guilt. On the morning before the trial he
was discovered in his cell with his nose
broken and face terribly disfigured. Thus
did the cunning crook seek to avoid recog
nition by mutilating his features. Ogle was
not up to McCartney’s trick of posing as a
refo med counterfeiter, and while lecturing
on the vicissitudes of his career passing
counterfeit money on his audience at the
box office, as change for their tiokets, but
if there was any other branch of the "art”
of which he was ignorant the secret service
people are not aware of it.
KING XALAKAUA’3 BOOK.
A Theological Work that la Expected
to startle the World.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Kalakaua had long given bis time to the
study of the works of theological authors,
from those of Dun Sootus to the later period
of Thomas Aquinas and Ignatius of Loycla.
Brooding over the literary productions of
these doctors, and oomparing their views
with the doctrines of the thensophists and
the theories of Darwin, Tyndall and Inger
soll, he conoluded that the time had ripened
for anew, profound and more elevated
the ry of the creation and its purposes.
With this view in mind he collected all
the books, pamphlets and charts relating to
the peculiar views expressed by these men,
and after many months of study and re
flection secured the services of a French ad
venturer, one Captain de Freese, who had
been an engineer in the servioe of Frauce
and a claimant to astronomical knowledge.
With his aid the work was commenced,
and, with the assistance of astronomical
charts aud biblical chronological trees, the
royal author set about the compilation of a
wort that would, when completed, shake to
the very foundation the present theory of
theology, and showing that all, having its
beginning with fire, must neces-arily be
consumed by that element —showing, also,
by a peculiar logical interpretation of the
Testaments, that the deluge was a myth,
and that flames were the beginning and
would be the end. This ids 9, with a com
plete denial of the present views on the
creation, was the groundwork of the book.
It is to be termed the “Temple of Wisdom,"
and will claim to be a “Diametrical Physi
ography.”
The work, wnich was completed in 1889 as
far as the third chapter, was shown to
Robert Louis Stevenson, now a visitor at
the island, who, after a thorough reading of
the manuscript, grew enthusiastic over its
merit, and lent by way of advice considera
ble aid to the author.
The priucipal problem for solution in the
now creed that presented itself to the king,
and one scarcely yet completely answered,
was the question of the trinity—the union
of the three persons in one. In order to
complete his thearv he wnuld have to ovor
come this bolief. Strangely enough for a
sovereign, he depended upon the frequent
use of the royal “we” iu tho Testament in
relation to the Creator as a refutation of
the uuitv, and drew his conclusions iu ac
cordance therewith.
The work is still undergoing considerable
labor and thought on the part of his
majesty, and may not be produced for
some months yet, if at all, owing to the
fact that a number of bis friends, being
aware that ho is attempting to go beyond
his depth, wish to recall him in time to
save him from making a literary fiasco.
Au interview ou the subject, recently with
Col. Macfarlane, the king’s ohambirlain,
substantiates the fact that Kalakaua was
still deeply interested in the work.and spent
much of his time o.i its completion, yet
w.iether ic would be- ever completed and
given to the world with all its startling
theories and assertions was a matter that
time aloue could solve.
THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 7, 1891.
Relleious Heresy Only a Name.
Editor Morning A'etrs; In your article
on the heresy of Rev. Howard McQueary
yon say that he was told that it would be
wise for him to surrender bis religious
opinions as regards his idea of the birth of
Jesus and the material resurrection cf tho
body. Religious convictions are not to be
thrown aside as mere opioi user surmises—
something to be mentally played with aud
tossed avi ay at pleasure. The views of Rev.
McQueary are the result of much study and
reading. His mind has gotten out of the
old tr.e logical ruts and the dictum of Uro
logical sohools. He is doing some original
thinking, a thinking that will put others on
a line ot new thought.
I have read bis late work, “The Evolu
tion of Man and Christianity," and it will
stand at a monument of much thought and
much reading. Your writer has been read
ing theology for thirty years, and ill 3 more
I read the more I am satisfied
there can be no such thing as religious her
esy. All theology is man-made creeds, dog
mas and tenets of faith. The >logy is net
piety or purity of heart by u good deal; it is
simply mental reason and deductions, aud
he who desires to think is as much entitled
to his opinions and convictions- as any
church.
Of course there are churohes, and when
one joins one of any sect, creed or denomina
tion, he or she is supposed to conform to the
teachings of that church. Rev. Mr. Mc-
Queary has become anew tsacher.and not a
follower, and his church demands his trial.
Bo far so good, and if he cannot subscribe
to tho teachings of the Episcopal church
without qualifications or mental reserva
tions the uest thing for him to do is to leave
the ohurch and organize one of his own.
Ths world does not stand still in thought.
Jesus as a reformer, independent of his di
vine nature os taught by all Christians who
believe in the Immaculate Conception, set
aside the Mosaic law as it suited his opin
ions or convictions. Ho was a heretic from
the standpoint of Caiaphas, the high priest.
Bt. Paul was a noted horetio from the stand
point of both Pharisee and Saducee when
he threw aside the ordinance of circum
cision and the eating of swine’s flesh. He
was tried for heresy, and in bis able defense,
when accused by Ananias the high priest,
who said of him: “We have found this man
a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition
among all the Jews throughout tho world,
and a ringleader of the sect of the Naza
renes;” saui Bt. Paul in answer to that
charge before Felix: “But this I confess
unto thee, that aft>r the way which they
call heresy, so worship I the God of my
fathers, believing all things which is written
m the law and tue prophets.”
St. Paul took the liberty, as every bold
and original thinker dares do, to interpret
the laws and the prophets for himsolf. Jesus
did the same, and every church does the
same. I hold when a man joins a military
company he should wear the uniform of
that company and recognize the tactics of
said company. But when he feels disposed
to write a book of his own on tactics be has
the right to do so, but should leave the com
pany. If Rev. Dr. McQueary la true to
himself and cannot bold his band
against his church, he should,
like Bf. Paul, throw off
the theological harness of Ananias the high
priest and go it aloue. That he did so, let
the Christian thought of our day be his
mighty monument and shadow. St. Paul
had no idea of being knocked down with
the dead bones of prophets, dead hundreds
of yea s before he was born; ho put his own
interpretation upon the errors of the law
and the prophets; nor did he recognize
Ananias as any authority with him It was
emphatically Jew meeting Jew in the
temple. St. Paul said ho made a good
fight, ana that is the generally received
opinion among all Christians.
Heresy then, Mr. Editor, is nothing more
or less than a difference of theological
opinion, and I ara on the side of Rev. Mr.
McQueary in the fight he is going to make.
His book is in the Georgia Historical So
ciety. R. M. O.

Life After Forty.
From the Hospital.
The best half of life is in front of the
man of forty, if he is anything of a man.
Tbe work he will do will be done with the
hand of a master, and not of a raw ap
prentice. Tbe trained intellect does not see
men "as trees walking,” but sees everything
clearly and in just measure. The trained
temper does not rush at work like a blind
bull at a haystack, but advances with the
calm and ordered pace of conscious power
and deliberate determination. To no man
is the world so new, and the future so
fresh, as to him who has spent the early
yesrs of his manhood in striving to under
stand the deeper problems of science aud
life, and who has made some headway
toward comprehending them. To him the
commonest things are rare and wonderful,
both in themselves and as parts of a beauti
ful and intelligent whole. Such a thing as
■lateness in life and its duties he canuot
understand. Know ledge is always opening
out before him In wider expamwi a id more
commanding heights. The pleasure of
growing knowledge aud increasing power
oiakee every year of his life happier and
more hopeful than tbe last.
BAIL AND OaOfeSTlg.
Within the next thirty days most of tho
pas l eager a<e ciations will act on the ques
tion of abolishing the sals cf unlimited
i tickets. When this is done if a person
wishes to stop at points between termini he
will purenase a local ticket. Tbe ticket
scalpers fear this action more than any
other which has been proposed by tbe gen
eral passenger agents.
The Journal of Agriculture save: "The
railroad ‘pass’ has tor many years been an
important factor in politics. Railroad com
panies and railroad men know full well tho
seductive influence of tbe little piece of
cardboard that enables a iron to bluff tbe
conductor and ride free. In fact, there is
nothing else so small we know of that to tbe
average man confers so much pleasure as to
get on a tram and ride withers,aver one
wisheth and not have to pav a cent for it.”
Tbe latest thing iu tho way of rapid
transist is the invention of a Colorado
genius. He proposes au ordinary railroad
ooach, to tbe roof of whioh is to be fastened
a ball' on-shaped dome made of aluminum
and filled with a sufficient amount of gas to
overcome the power of gravitation. This
much accomplished. It is only n-oessary to
provide a roadbed suflioie’ tly strong to
keep a train of cars going in the' right direc
tion. The cars will be provided on each
side with grooved pulleys instead of wheels,
and these pulleys will run upon steel
cables strung upon two rows of iron
posts. No grading will bs necessary, the
cable tracks simply spanning ravines, can
yons and rivers like telegraph wires. The
inventor claims that with the aid of some
new discoveries in locomotive power he can
easity propel a train of cars at the rate of
200 miles an hour. He proposes to build a
line cf cable from Denver to New York,
and make the run from the mountains to
the seaboard in half a day, stopping at
Chicago for dinner. At eaoh station a gas
reservoir will bo maintained, and eaoh coach
can be charged or emptied with gas as the
trafllo demands. The inventor lias organ
ized a company, aud proposes to build a
short line at onoe.
The Allendale (S. C.) Enterprise savs:
“The editor of the Enterprise visited Sa
vannah Monday uuder a commission from
leading citizens of Allendale for the purpose
of inquiring into the situation and
summing up Allendale’s ebauees for
the South Bound road. Mr. Den
mark, president of the Savannah Con
struction Company, and Mr. Wadley, chief
engineer in charge of the road, received ns
very cordially, and very courteously entered
into the business with whioh ws were in
trusted. They were both very open and
candid, and in a very short time put us into
possesion of the facts of the c:ise and the
true inwardness ef the situation. We were
surprised to find them both young
men, but soon discovered that" thoy
were fully up to the details and
magnitude of the important enterprise in so
great a measure intrusted to their manage
ment. We were cordially iitformed that
the Allendale and Barnwell route was pre
ferred from the beginning, but certain com
plications growing out of Col. Mike Brown’s
connection with tho road, resulting in the
sale of the Barnwell and Blackville aud the
Blackville and Alston road to another com
pany now leave that line of route out ef
tho question. One purpose was to gat Al
lendale on tho route to Graham’s. We
were informed that after the change from
the Barnwell route the Brunson route was
preferred, but owing to difficulties in ob
taining rights of way and other necessary
concessions the Campbellton route has been
settled upon. If any further difficulty oc
curred Allendale’s offer would be consid
ered. ”
