Two More Arrests Made In the
Stamp Robbery Case.
PRETTY PIECE OF DETECTIVE WORK.
Were Detected When the Men Made Tn*
• quiry for Their Mail at the Post
Office—They Admit Their Iden
tity and Willingly Go to JaiL
Columbia, S. C., October 23.—Wil
liam A. Beach and H. Clay Sinsabaugh,
who are charged with being accom
plices in the recent stamp robbery in
Washington, were arrested here last
night. Beach is the third member of
the group concerned in the larceny and
sale of the postal paper, and is not con
nected with any department. There
is every reason that the men who stole
and used the money derived from the
stamps led a fast and reekless life while
the money lasted. Beach took the
trouble to keep an itemized diary and
it shows how freely Smith, the chief
stamp thief, spent the money he got
from his stamps and how he went
around the country with lewd women.
Beach Own* Up to the Affair.
It was a pretty piece of detective
work, the arrest of Beach and his pal,
Sinsabaugh. Just yet, it is not known
why Sinsabaugh is wanted, but Chief
Daly, to be on the safe side, arrested
both of the men as directed by the chief
of the secret service. Beach owned up
gsto the whole ■ affair, there was nothing
a jlse for him to do as the papers on him
fl||Mold who he was.
Chief Daly received the following
telegraphic warning several day® ago:
"To Chief Police, Columbia, S. C.:
William A, Beach, is wanted as an ac
complice in disposing of stolen United
States postage stamps; said he was
going to your city last Wednesday,have
search made for him-;-is going under
name of Ned Lawrence, You will find
letter in mail addressed to him as Ned
Lawrence, care post office. Put-.man
at post office to shadow for him. I
have United States warrant here for
him. Answer.
Wm. P. Hazen, Chief U S. S. S.”
“To Chief of Police, Columbia, S. C, —
Later information shows that Beach,
alias Ned Lawrence, is accompanied by
Sinsabaugh; is doing odd jobs of print
ing. Both working their way south
west. W. P. Hazen. - ’
“To Chief of Police, Columbia, S. C. —
Arrest Beach, alias Lawrence, detain
Sinsabaugh until I send for both of
them. Wm. P. Hazen, Chief S. S.”
Tracked to the Postnffice.
As soon as the messages were re
ceived Chief Daly stationed a police
man at the post office and made inquiry
at all the printing offices for Sinsa
baugh. It was not long after the men
arrived in the city that he was on their
track, but he wanted them to go to the
post office and call for their letters.
They strolled up there, so did a couple
of policemen. The post office clerks
had been advised to give the cue when
Beach, alias Ned Lawrence, and Sinsa
.baugh called for their mail. When they
called for mail tl;e young lady clerk
called Mr, Sadler Gillespie, and he pre
sented a pistol at the young men and
asked them into a private room. They
went. The police were then called in
and got their men. The men admitted
their identity and willingly went to
jail.

Suspicion Beet* Upon Several Boys Rut no
Arrest* Have Been Made.
Orangeburg, S. C., October 33.—1 n
reference to the Copes murder every
thing here remains the same. While
suspicion rests on several boys, every
thing is being done to get a reliable
clue independent of any suspicion. The
trail was again followed yesterday but
without result. No arrests have yet
been made. The citizens will no doubt
supplement the reward offered by Gov
ernor Tillman, and they stand ready to
go to any part of the county at a mo

of the district supreme court, yesterday
issued a writ of habeas corpus in bb
half of William B. Smith, an employe

ing. who was committed for the action
of the grand jury in the police court
Friday, with George W. Longstreet, on

from the government. The petition
for the writ alleged that neither the
police court nor the district supreme
court has jurisdiction over offenses
against the government of the United
States, that jurisdiction being confined
to United States circuit courts. The
petition was first presented to Judge
McComas, who suggested that some
other judge be asked to issue the writ.

question whether the courts of the Dis
trict of Columbia have jurisdiction
over the acts committed against the

burg anil a Raid by the Police.
Pittsburg, Pa.. October 23.—The po
lice raided whnt are known as the “dis
cretionary pool" establishments in this
city yesterday and arrested eight men.
The brokers who run these places are
supposed to make such speculative in
vestments as they choose with the de
posits confided to them by customers,
and to declare monthly dividends
thereon. It is estimated that they now
hold between 83,000,000 and $4,000,000,
representing 50,000 investors. Their
clients are workingmen, servants, wash
erwomen and some farmers, who were
dazzled by the prospect of getting any
where from 20 to tOO per cent per month
on their investments. Many men mort
gaged their homes and placed the
money in the pools. It is common talk
that the trustees of one or two estates
have also risked money in their charge
with these concerns.

outshines the socialist statesmen of
Kansas. In the democratic convention
some delegate proposed the name of
Budd Reeve. "The Sage of Buxton,” as
a congressional nominee. Reeve was

mediately rescinded. Reeve then be
came the anti-fusion democrat candi
date by petition. He opened his cam
paign in Fargo last night. He is tour
ing the state on horseback, the horse
being presented by citizens of Valley
City.' It is shod with silver shoes pre
sented by Buxton people. Budd travels
the country wrapped in a huge Ameri
can flag, and on his shoulder perches
an American eagle. Accompanying
him is a Scotch collie dog, acting as
master of ceremonies at the sage’s
speeches. Budd receives an ovation at
every town he visits. The dog marches

A QUEER CASE IN PhTIADELPHIA
O. W. Slililall, Who Lose* a Divorce Sult,
Bring* Action Against the Judge.
Philadelphia, Pa., October 23.—The
order O. W. Siddall, of New York, has
begun action against Judge
Bregy of the Common Pleas court for
$109,000. Siddall is a citizen of New
York state. The suit is the result of
the judical rulings of Judge Bregy in
the divorce suit which Siddall brought
against his wife. The libel in divorce,
which he filed against his wife, was
published in full in all the daily papers.
This is one of the causes of complaint
which Siddall makes. The case was
subsequently lost, but leave was grant
ed to substitute a copy, muck to the
disgust of Siddall. Judge Bregy, act
ing for the court, ordered Siddall to
pay to his wife’s attorney in tue divorce
proceedings the usual council fee pro
vided by the law, and awarded the wo
man alimony. This again excited Sid
flail's ire, and is one of the principal
causes of his complaint against the
judge.-
DEMAND FOR HOLMES’ WORKS.
Since the Death of the Author Order* Have
Been Pouring In.
New York, October 23.—A Boston
publisher at the Windsor hotel said
yesterday that since the death of Dr.
Oliver Wendell Holmes the demand for
his books has been so great as to ex
haust the reserve stock held by the
Riverside Press, his publishers; and the
presses have been running night and
day in an unsuccessful effort to catch
up with the orders that have been
pouring in at a rapid rate from all parts
of the country. The booksellers say
that although Dr. Holmes’ works have
always sold well the sudden demand
for them since his death has been sur
prising, by reason of the fact that so
many persons seem to want them at
once.
CLEVELAND’S OPINION READY.

Boston, October 23.—When Ambassa
dor Bayard returned from Gay Gables
to Boston he said he found the presi
dent in excellent health and spirits, and
that he had enjoyed a pleasant vjsit.

what the attitude of Mr. Cleveland is
to be towards Mr. Hill and the regular
democracy of the empire state. It is
stated here that President and Mrs.
Cleveland will close Gray Gables and
depart tonight or tomorrow.
SUGAR REFINERIES CLOSED.
This Action Rendered Necessary to the
Congested Condition of the Market.
Philadelphia, October 23. The
Franklin sugar refinery will shut down
in a few days and will probably remain
closed for two or three weeks. This
action, it is said, is rendered necessary
by the present congested condition of
the suga” market, the demand having
fallen off so much as to leave large
stocks of unsold sugar in the hands of
the refiners. The Spreckels refinery is
also closed and the McCahan refinery,
the only one which is operated inde
pendently of the sugar trust, has re
cently been running one-third time.

NOW FOR THE RACE
The Local Campaign in New York
Has Begun.
THE POLITICAL SITUATION INGOTHAM.
Colonel Wm. Strong, the Antl-Tammany
Candidate, Officially Notified by the
Committee of Seventy and Ac
cept* the Nomination.
New York, October 23.—The local
campaign in this city has opened. The
heavy work began yesterday at all the
headquarters except those of Hugh J.
Grant, at the Union Square hotel.
Some Tammany men believe that the
shorter the campaign the better it will
be for Grant. The whole effort of
Tammany, according to the present
program, will be directed towards
drawing party lines, and all talk about
the record of Grant and Tammany gen
erally will be met by the assertion that
this is "threshing over old straw,” and
that the salvation of the democratic
party is the one thing at stake.
The Kumor Creates Excitement.
Considerable excitement prevailed
among the politicians yesterday owing
to a rurnc that there was to be a meet
ing in one of the up-town hotels be
tween Mr. Grace and several of the
leaders of Tammany hall in the inter
est of complete harmony.
As it was understood at the time har
mony was to be brought about by the
conference through a disposition of the
congressmen from this city, it was said
that the conference would decide that
one democratic candidate for congress
would be sufficient in each district, and
having come to that conclusion, would
recommend the withdrawal of candi
dates on one side or the other in order
that no republican could, by any possi- (
bility. slip in through a division of the i
democratic forces. I
The principal work of the conference
was to decide on just now many demo
cratic candidates for congress should
be state democrats, and how many
Tammany hall men. Tammany, as it
was told, was ready to make almost any
sacrifice iu order to secure perfect har
mony and insure the success of the
democratic state and local tickets.
Colonel Strong Officially Notified.
Colonel William L. Strong, the com
mittee of seventy’s candidate for mayor,
was officially notified of his nomina
tion by the state democracy at his
headquarters in the Sturtevant house
yesterday' afternoon. Mr, Grace him
self was not present, but the committee
attended and made the formal notifi
cation.
In accepting the Colonel
Strong said: “The of New
York for the last si* years have been
governed by a corrupt ring of conspira
tors that has brought disgrace upon
municipal government throughout our
land, and the exposition made by the
terrific probe of John W. Goff, before
the Lexowo committee, has awak
ened the good people of the city, re
gardless of old party affiliations, to a
determined effort to eradicate every
vestige of corruption from the city hall.
Btamls For Pure Government.
“When this is done we will try to es
tablish in its stead a government of the
people that will guarantee to every
citizen full protection in the prosecu
tion of his lawful business, without
paying tribute to any class of persons
levying blackmail, or posing as officers (
of the government.
“With unshaken faith in the suffi
ciency and permanency of our institu
tutions, and having accepted the nomi
nation from the different political or
ganizations in the city of New York,
including the committee of seventy,
and adopted their platform, if elected
mayor, I will do all iu ray power to
give the city a clean, economical and
non-partisan administration.”
All the members of the committee
then shook hands with Colonel Strong
and left.

LIVES WITH A BROKEN NECK.
Anatln Bowel*, Who Fell From a High
Stoop Astonishes Surgeon*.
New York. October 23.—Austin
Bowles, a street ear driver, forty-seven
years old. fell from the high stone
stoop in front of his home at No. 208
West Sixth street on September 22 last.
IVhen picked up he was unconscious
and his breathing was weak. His eyes
were closed, his face was pale and to
an ordinary observer, who would not
I have noticed the faint breathing, he
looked like a dead man. An ambu
lance surgeon said the man’s neck was
broken. He was taken to Roosevelt
hospital, and the doctors there confirm
ed the opinion of the ambulance sur
geon. Bowels’ death was expect
ed in a few hours. But he did not die.
After two days he recovered conscious
ness, but his vitality was still very low.
His temperature and respiration im
proved, and the doctors among whom
the case attracted great attention,
made special efforts to save his life.
Bowers now lies upon a bag filled with
hot water, and while he can move only
his head and his hands, he watches
with interest everything that is done
in the room. His wife calls to see him
twice a day and he talks about the
family affairs and gives her instruc
tions whnt to do. He is hopeful and
expects to live and even to walk again.
HOME AND CHILDREN BURNED.
Awful Affliction of the Family of Bishop
Taylor’s Sou In Now York.
New York, October 23.—A terrible
fire occurred at an early hour at South
Nyack yesterday destroying the ele
gant new residence of the Rev. Ross
Taylor, Bishop of Africa, burning to
death four of Mr. Taylor’s children and
seriously injuring three workmen. Mrs.
Taylor first discovered the fire and
alarmed her husband, who investigated
and found that they were surrounded
I by fire.
The couple were almost blinded by
I the smoke, which was growing more
dense every moment, and they saw at
once that the most they could attempt
would be to get out, and even that
seemed Impossible. By hard effort,
however, they succeeded in escaping
from the building. Then they saw that
their property must go and with it
their children, whose escape and rescue
was cut off.
SOMETHING ABOUT DIAMONDS.
Their Appearance in the Rough, the Cat
ting and Heat Field*.
The ruby mirrors the flame of fire,
the sapphire reflects the blue of the
heavens, the emerald pictures the depth
of the sea, but the diamond is a dew
drop laden’ with sunbeams, the most
paeticcreation of an organic nature,
jlvcry inoiueiit it llasliet. a nr.r cslor- -
now blue, now red, now royal purple,
nqw golden yellow, says Home and
Country.
In the rough—that Is, just as the
etone has been washed out of the clay
and broken loose from the ore—a dia
mond presents the appearance of a
crystal pebble, somewhat pointed at
each end. It usually appears to be of
a brownish hue but now and again a
ray of light will seem to leap from the
very heart of the stone. From this
rough form of the gem the diamond
cutter decides what the shape of the
finished jewel is to be. It should be
the aim of the diamond cutter to pre
serve this octahedral character of the
gem. To accomplish this the rough
stone is first split or chipped.
The operation is a most difficult one,
requiring an insight into the character
of each individual stone. There are
hardly two gems that can be treated in
a precisely similar manner. Every
diamond has a thorough individuality
and must be treated accordingly in
order to obtain the best results. The
“splitting” is acccmplishcd by fixing
the gem in a block of cement, after
which the angles must be split off in
accordance with the direction of the
crystallization. Flaws arc also taken
out in this operation and the diamond
given its future shape.
The diamonds most highly prized are
the Indian and Brazilian stones. They
are generally of the purest white, the
most complete transparency “water”
and the most brilliant “fire.”
CASTE FOLLOWS THE NOSE.
Anthropologist* Bay the Now Tell* the
Culture of Man.
Anthropology, said Sir William Flow
er, is becoming of the highest impor
tance in politics. If we take a series
of oastes in Bengal, Behar or the
northwestern provinces and arrange
them in the order of the average nasal
index, so that the caste with the finest
nose shall be at the top, and that with
the coarsest at the bottom of the list,
it will bo found that this order sub
stantially corresponds with the accepted
order of social precedence.
The casteless tribes who have not yet
entered the Brabmanical system oc
cupy the lowest place in both series.
The fisher castes are a trifle higher in
the scale; the pastoral, the cultivating,
and a group of cognate castes—from
whose hands a Brahman may take
water —follow in due order; and from
them we pass to the trading and the
landholding classes and the upper crust
at Hindu society.
Thus it is scarcely a paradox to lay
down as a law of the caste organization
in Eastern India that a man’s social
status varies in inverse ratio to the
width of his now.
A topical song three thousand years
old was sung in a comic opera lately
produced in Australia by a traveling
Chinese company. The history of this 1
venerable ballad is authenticated by
the affirmation of the chief comedian
of the troupe, who avers that the song
has been sung on the Chinese stage,
with the original words and music,
since 1000 B. C. A Melbourne critic
says the accompanying meiody “con- j
•isted partly of a Chinese chopping
wood, partly of another Celestial blow
ing a bull's horn with horrible intens
ity of effort, and partly of a curious
stringed instrument, which makes a
noise like an infant crying in the

WHY DINNER IS LATE.
Married Men Agree That It I* Never
Ahead of Time.
“It is a • curious thing,” said the
Grumbler, “that, while I have been
keeping house for thirty years and have
had my wife tell me a thousand times
that dinner avus late, I never oneb knew
of u time when dinner was ahead of
time. I have made careful Inquiry
among my friends (and I have many
who have bcov domestic longer titan I)
And fdo not find a single
ticated case where dinner was ever, at
any time or place, ahead of time,”
quotes the Buffalo Express. “Five
times a. week the cook will do some
thing she ought not to do and dinner
will be anywhere from five minutes to
an hour behind time, butshenever gets
under sufficient headway to have the
things on the table before the appointed
time. I have made this curious and in
teresting phase of home life a careful
study and I intend to write a pamph
let about it.”
“I guess you’re right," said the Kick
er. “1 am a married man of some few
years myself, and I have had the snißO'
experience. I may get home an hour
earlier than usual and be hungry as
three bears, but that does not make
a particle of difference. Dinner never
comes before six o'clock, which is the
scheduled time, 'but very frequently
comes much after that time. I hud an
old uncle once who noticed the same
thing. He was in the house one day
and put the clock ahead two hours to
see if he couldn’t work the miracle.
But the cook fooled him."
“Whnt did she do?" asked the Grum
bler, eagerly.
“She turned on the natural gas be
fore she put in the match, and when
the fire department got through it was
nine o’clock.”
ANCIENT STATUARY.
Th* Enortnou* Coat of Bom* lllstorla
Piece*.
The famous Colossus of Rhodes,
which has been described so often by
gleaners of the curious that the subject
is becoming threadbare, cost 300 “tal
ents,” a sum equal to about $375,000 in
United States currency. This sum is a
trifle, however, when compared to the
price paid for a colossal of
Mercury, which was made for (the
Gaulish city of Averni sty Zelodorus.
The artist was engaged upon this great
work for ten long years, and the total
cost to the city would equal $1,775,000.
What the gold and ivory statue of
Athena, in the Parthenon, or the cele
brated “Olympian Zeus," both of which
were made by Phidias, cost is not stated
by any of the ancient or modern au
thorities, but that it was enormous may
be inferred from statements made be
low: Athena was arrayed in drapery
made of pure hammered gold weighing
40 talents. The coin value of this won-,
derful drapery at the United States
mint to-day would approximate $380,000.
Os the Olympian Zeus it has been said
that "it vzasfi monster idol of gold and
ivory worth more than the cash assets
of many modern kingdoms.” The heed
of this great image was covered with
locks of pure gold, each weighing six
minae, or about the value of $£5,000 in
modern gold coin.
A Happy Settlement.
, Thj late Lord Denman, on being re
minded by a hatter that a small ac
count was “overdue,” vhited the shop
and gave the manager a legal reply to
the request for payment “You state,”
he said, solemnly, as he stood over him,
shaking his finger at him, “that this
n. count is overdue. Remember that a
bill of exchange or bill of acceptance I
may become overdue, but a trades- I
man’s account never. A gentleman ’
pay* when ho thinks he will or when
he has the money. But to show that
no ill-feeling exlato, I will pay the ac
count and take another hat "
