Millions made by Fraud.

 

A- large business is done in buying and
selling stocks in New York, on orders for

costs and interest, to be filed upon their d.
faulting of payment on any note. All tl~' 0'
money received, after deducting what Wu
required for daily expenses, was to be dc-
posited every week inlBuckwalter’s bank
to his credit, and applied on the notes, or
if in excess of the notes due, upon those
ne‘xt falling due. Buckwalter’s confidential
men were to be in the Offices, and the mail
matter, placed in locked boxes by the car-

out of town customers. The readiness of
small investors to partake of the profits from
this kind of speculation has given rise Of late
to a class Of fraudulent dealers who have

rier, could be removed only byoneof them
and one of the firm together, each havinga
key to one of the two locks upon the boxes.
In other ways the interests of Buckwalter

pursued a systematic course that has result—
ed in total loss to the customers and a clear
profit‘to the dealers of the entire remittanee
without even the form of an actual invest-
ment. Some of these dealers assumed names
closely resembling the names. of .repu-
table dealers. Among these were Law—
rence-83 00., Heath do CO.,'Thatcher, Bel—
lnont & 00., and others. This gave so much
annoyance to the respectable houses, whose
good names were in danger from the deal-
ings referred to, that some of them have
everal times published ends to the public
if their own defence; and in November,
1378, the Law Comuittce of the Stock Ex-
change formally authorized Ralph Oakley,
of the firm of Oudin do Oakley, “to collect
all the information possible concerning the
firms that were using the mails and the press
to defraud the public by means of bogus
transactions in stocks, and to use all legal
means to secure the conviction Of the offend-

ing parties." '

Mr. Oakley at once advertised for commun- -

ications from parties who were dissatisfied
with their dealings with Lawrence &. 03.,
one of the firms in question, and from them
obtained much evidence in the shape of the
correspondence of that firm. When that
portion of the case had been s'ufiiciently cov—
cred,” the services of Anthony Comstock
were obtained for theifurther prosecution of

was secured. IIis total monthly income from
these four concerns, so long as they flourish-
ed aslthey had been flourishing, was thus to
be $22,833,83 for five years, and for a second
period of five years, $10333 each month;
making a total in ten years of $1,989,999,60,
exclusively of interest.

It was further'agreed that none of the men
placed in the employ of these firms by Buck-
wAlter should he removed without his con—
sent. The books of Lawrence & 00., tran—
scripts of which are in the possession of Mr.
Comstock, show the receipts of this firm
alOne from March to November, 1879, to
have been $205,890,90. In the month of
October the receipts were $29,484,053, of
which about $15,000 went for expenses
(probably including advertising,) and there
was deposited to the account of Buckwalter
$17,461,4I, the excess of these sums over
the receipts perhaps representing money on
hand. , ‘

now THE BUSINESS IS TO an srorrnn

There are other concerns whose methods
of doing business are not so well known as
yet, but concerning whom sufiicient evidence
has been laid before the Post Ofiice Depart—
ment at Washington to have them included
in the order to be issued today witholding
their mails. In one of these firms, that of
Charles Foxwell & Co. at No. 115 Broad-
way, the same man Buckwaltcr is said to be

the matter, and his knowledge and exper-
ience of this class of fraud through the mails
have enabled him, in the past two weeks, to
obtain such additional evidence as will re-
sult in the complete overthrow of the fraud-
ulent system. An order will be issued by
the Postmaster General, forbidding the de—
livery of letters and money orders to eight
‘ different concerns, the order being found
upon the evidence submitted to the Depart-

ment.

interested. Another Of them is Simpson do
00., No. 49 Exchange place. This firm is
composed of J. M. Pattee and a man named
Barrett. Pattee is said by Mr. Comstock
to have been the manager of several schemes
that have. beerf- broken up, among which

were the Cheyenne Lottery, the Wyoming

Lottery, the Bullion Mining Company. the

Geld and Silver Mining Company, a fraud-

ulent Havana Lottery, and one or two

“Grand Distribution”schemes. They made

use of the name and services of a man named

Simpson, through whom,however, Mr. Com-

stock has succeededfiu exposing the concern.

The profits of this concern, as well as those

of ull previously mentioned. Mr. Comstock

estimates upon the evidence he has, to be

fully equal to those of Lawrence & Co. as
given. He says that nearly the entire busi-
ness has been transacted thrdugh the mails

and that the coming order respecting the
delivery of letters and the payment of money
orders will surely break up the business of

the eight firms named in it. These firms are
as follows : Thatcher, Belmont & 00., Chas.
Foxwell 8.1 00., Adams, Brown & Co.,Allen,

Jordon & 00., Simpsdn & 00., Lawrence &.
00., and Heath 85 CO. . The two firmsilast
named, doing business at Nos. 19 and 21
Broad street, and at No- 1,227 .Broadway
and No. 8 Broadsheet, are to be distinguish-l
ed from other firms of the same name, who
are well known and respected.

 

HOW THE BWINDLING IS DONE.

The plans pursued by these persons to
cheat the eager speculator may be learned
from some of the papers in one case, which ,
is a specimen of all the cases, in which five
letters or circulars sufilced to transfer from
$10 to $100 from the pocket of Lawrence &
00. An advertisement setting forth the ad-
vantages of dealing with this firm is inserted
in the papers, and those who respond to it
receive first a prospectus in which are fully
discussed the “opportunities for making
money,” “methods'of‘ selling in New York”
“vast profits already paid,” “uuerring rules
for success,” the history of a supposed profit-
able investment; all indicating that the
stock market is a bonanza to all who. deal
with Lawrence 625 00. Letters are added
from customers, acknowledging the receipt
.Of profits remitted, with enclosures for fur—
ther operations; and the circular concludes
with flattering notices of the press, most of
which prove on investigation to be paid
“business notices" in widelyjcirculated re—.
spectable journals. The prospectus is adorn-
ed with a picture of Drexel Building, upon
the side of which is the name of Lawrence

The profits from this kind of business have
been enormous. Mr. Comstock has obtained
copies of agreements and partnership articles
based upon actual business done, which in-
dicate this fact; and he has transcripts of
books that shows it beyond question. Four
of these firms are practically under one
management._ These are Lawrence & 00.,

The details of the agreement between them
and Buckwalter are significant, not only as
showing his relation to the business, but as
indicating the previous profits from the con.
earns, the agreement being based upon the
profits of the three months preceding its ex-
ccution. For the business of Lawrence &
00. they paid Buckwalter $1 and executed
sixty promissory notes, Of even date, pay-
able monthly for five years, cf $12,500 each;
and agreed to'execute at the end of that
period sixty other notes, similarly payable
of $5.000 each. For the business of Adams,
Brown 0’; 00.,: sixty notes were given of $8,-

$3,333 each. For the concerns of Allen,
Jordon & 00., and-Barnes, Garrison & 00.,
two hundred and forty similar notes were
given, of $1,000. All these notes were with
interest and without grace. In case of default
on any one note for thirty days all the notes
given for the same concern, whether due or
not, were to become due and payable, but
were to be surrendered to themgkers, who
in turn were to give up the business and its
receipts to Buckwalter. The purchasers

artistic rather than fashionable and showy.
A favorite rendezvous of the Senator’s is the
dinning-room—a large,eubstantial room with

a great, hospitable open dining table and-
cheerful open grate fire always burning on

the hearth in cold weather, and a solid, sub-
stantial looking side board,the lock of which
is never turned, and which seems to be bar-
ren of good cheer. Here the Senator likes
to gather about him his friends, both public
and private, and there is rarely a day,I fancy
during the session of Congress, when Sena—-
tor Bayard does not have one or more no—
table men to dine with him. After dinner,
he delights to sit in this room and chat with
his guests on the various topics of interest of
the day. He is an inveterate talker, and
when warmed up upon a question of public
importance, he is apt to do three quarters or
seven-eights of the talking himself.”

 

 

Ham Biennium—Chemical science has
recently succeeded in extracting the coloring
matter from human hair. Diluted sulphuric
acid is found to be the best solvent, and ther
appear to be three coloring pigments—yel-
low, red and black—all the shades being also-
produced by the mixture. It seems that in
pure golden yellow hair there is only the
yellow pigment; in red hair the red pigment
is mixed with more or less yellow, producing
the various shades of red and orange ; in dark
hair the black is always mixed with yellow
and red, but the latter are overpowered by
the black—it appearing that even the blackest
hair, such as that of the negro, contains as
much red pigment as the Very reddcst hair.

The new Mexican inter-oceanic railway

across the Isthmus. of Tehuantepec is .topass

through the State of Chiapas, which proba—

bly contains the only population in the world

which possesses no iron. nor anything of the

nature of an. iron industry; even at the

crudest form. For the distance of eighty

miles around Palenqua, the capitafi not a

single blacksmith can be found, and the

onlyzarticles of iron are axes and machetas,

imported from the United States. Nails are

unknown, all the wood-work being held to.-.
gether by cords or the tendrils of vines; and

ever their tartilla, (in corn cake, is prepared'
by grinding the maize between stones. The

new railway through thisjte'rritory has clear-

ly a well-defined educational,'as well as com-

mercial development to undertake. ' i

A German experimenter has proved that

in hardening steel undergoes an increase in

volume.- . The thicker the bar is, the less the

increase of mass, and the. less it is hardened.

By annealing, the volume is decreased again,
until, at the graytint, it is about the same as.
in the raw state. ‘ .
One of ’the hottest localities on the globe

is along the Persian Gulf, where rain seldom

or never fails. At Bahrin the arid shore

has no fresh water, yet a considerable pop—~
ulation contrives to exist there, thanks to

the cOpious springs Of- fresh water, which

issue from the bottom of the sea.
water is secured by divers, and brought to
the surface in large goat-skin ha 9. The
source of these submarine springs is thought
to be in the green: hill of Osman, some five or
six hundred miles distant. , _
A phosphorescent powder has been pro-
duced which becomes very strongly luminous
undertheinfiuence_of,e1ectricity. The inven-
tors propose applying it to the lighting of
buoys. The phosphorescent substance will be
placed in a current produced by the action
of sea-water on zinc and copper plates.

The stenographer Of the Italian Senate
has devised an instrument which, is claimed
to produce speech in ordinary printed char—
acters as rapidly as it is spoken, a word Of
several sylables being recorded by a single
touch of the keys.

The mysterious power, electricity, is un—
dergoing every. kind of manipulation by en—
thusiastic scientists in endeavors to adapt it
to the performance of man’s work, and its
many applications attest its inestimable
value. A new suggestion, and a striking .
one, is the-use-of. electricity as a means of

executing the death penalty. A German

writer imposingly describes the plan of exe-
cution: “In a dark room, draped with black,
and which is lighted only by a single tOrch—
the chamber of execution—there shall stand

an iron image of Justice, with her scales and

sword. Stern Justice is popularly supposed
to have no bowels, but the German goddess
will carry a powerful battery in her insides ;

and this battery will be connected With an
arm chair—the seat .of death. In front of
the chair shall stand the judge’s tribunal. and
only the; judge, jury and other officers shall.
be‘presentwith the criminal during the cere-
mony of execution. This will consist in the
judge’s reading the story of the crime com—
mitted by the prisoner, .who will be rigidly
manacled to the aforesaid arm-chair, and
when this is done, the judge will 'break his
red of cfl‘lce, and toss it into one of the scale
pans of justice, at the same time extinguish-
ing the solitary torch. The descent of the '
scale—pan will complete the electric circuit,

and shock the-wreteh into the next world.”

The metric system has now been adopted

by twenty-eight different nations, including

a majority of the civilized world. In eleven

countries it is in exclusive'use; while in sev-

eral, as; in Germany and France, there are

penalties for using any other measure.

Prof. Proctor expresses considerable con—

fidence in the success of Edison’s electric

light. He thinks it not improbable that

the heat of the sun may be at some time util-

ized in driving the electric generators.

An English chomist claims to have suc-

The attention of sight, seekers has for more
than a year been attracted to the Kane Gey-
scr,spouting water.well,situated in the valley
of Wilson's Run, near the line of the Phila-
delphia and Eric railway, and four miles
from Kane. It was drilled in the sprilig Of
1878 'to a depth of 2,000 feet, but, petroletim
not being found in paying quantities, the
casing was drawn and the hold abandoned.
\In drilling, fresh water veins were met with
to a depth of 364 feet, which was the limit
of the casing. At 1415 feet a heavy “gas
vein" was struck, and the gas was allowed
free escape while drill'mg was continued.
When the well was abandoned, the. fresh
water flowed in, and the conflict between the
water and gas commenced. The water flows
into the well until the pressure Of the con—'
lined gas becomes greater than the weight
of' the superincumbent water. when an ex-
pulsion takes place, and a column of water
and gas is thrown up to a great height. This
occurs at present at. regular intervals, con-
tinues for one and a half minutes. Measure-
ments have shown the column to vary in
height from 108 to 138 feet. The gas of the

moment the flame is almost entirely extin—

winter the columns become encased in huge

A wick for petroleum and spirit lampsis
now manufactured entirely of glass by a
German firm. It is said to produce a more
brilliant light than the cotton wick. It is
not consumed in the flame but wastes away
slowly by fusion.

The tremendous energy concentrated in a
flash of lightning is shown by Prof. Mayer,
of the Stevens Institute, in an observation
from which he concludes that at least five
hundred square miles of the earth's surface
had its electrical condition changed at each
flash of the lightning.

SIBEBIA NOT so BLACK as 11‘ Is I‘AlNTltD.‘
—Rev. Mr. Donsdale, 0f the English church,
lately visiting Chicago, confirms a statement
made a week or two since, inthc columns or
the Living Church about imprisonment in
Siberia. That statement was, that there is a
great deal of “gush” and mistaken pity in
what we hear about these Siberian prisons,
and the exile there. Mr. Lonsdale has
visited nearly all the Siberiap prisons, and
says that instead 5f working too hard,
the prisoners complain of the ennui which
arises from not having enough to do. The
authorities have not work enough for all.
The food is good and plentiful, the prison
cells comfortable enough, and ‘the working
hours not as onerous as thpse‘ 0f the free

Celebrated Safes,

In purchasing a. Safe, we wish to call your
attention to some of the important advantages
our Safes possess oust all others, (1 which
afes now

made. .
1st. 'Our “PATENT INern BOLT WORK"

where they are at all times accessible, any
can be cleaned and kept in order, and t.
prevent them from unexpectedly looking
out. . In all other Safes the bolts are placed
next the outside plate of iron, being covered
completely by‘the filling, consequently im-
possible to oil or clean them without digging
out the filling, which is expensive, besides
losing theuse of the Safe several days. As
the-filling in our Safes is between the locks
and bolts and the Outside plate of the door,
in most cases we can unlock our safes on, the
combination after they have passed through a
severe fire, which saves breaking them open.
2d. Qur “PATENT HINonD CAP" consists
of the back plate of the door being hung on
hinges, and fastened by a thumb-screw,whieh
enables one to have access to the locks and
bolts by simply removing the thumb-screw.
3d. While other safe-makers use three
wheel locks on their fire-proof safes (reserv-
ing the best four-wheel locks for bank safes),
we put on our FOUR-WHEEL Loans on all
safes, from the smallest to the largest, and for
simplicity and durability cannot be excelled.
4th. All our Safes are IRON-LINED rxsms,
instead of wood-lined as in other safes, which
enables us to use the the greatest amount of
water in our filling”withont danger of the
Safe’s being damp. All corners of the Safes
are secured with angle iron, which, together
with the very .hard nature of our filling, pro-—
vents them from injury from falling, or fall-
ing walls or timbers. Our Safes have mans:
FLANGES Instead of single or double as 'm
Others, and are made with and without inside
doors. In the great Boston fire Oitr Safes had
the champion record, as was fully proved at
the time, to these important Improvements
do we owe'our success and the great popular-
ity our safes have attained throughput the
country. After that great fire #0 published
a. complete list of our Safes exp ed,those that
failed to preserve their content, besxdes those
that were successful, and for months chal—
lenged. our competitors to fall our example
which they would not, do, as e_y knew that
by so doing they would only sstst usm dem-
onstrating to the world the s perrorrty of our
Safes, and our claim to the ampron record.
Although that. Great Fire so conclusively
proved the superiority of o Safes to resist
intense heat, we believed t t we could im-
prove them, and We hav therefore, since
that time, increased the thi kness 0f the walls,
added to the number of fl ges, and strength-

 

manufacture a Safe better than ever before,
and- unequalled for its ex llence. It has been
our cOnstant aim to rank the BEST Sara that
can be produced, beliovi g that, especially in
purchasing a safe to k p that which may
have cost a lifetime to cumulate, the best is
decidedly the cheapest. In these dull times
it is the custom of ma
ufaeture sevrtal grades of cheap safes, and
recommend first which can be sold the cheap-
est, withou.’ regard to quality, and many
safes are 11007 in use that are painted finely
outside, blgt are worthless to preserve their
contents'fzpmfire. . We make but one class

' of Safes, yhicll is the best we know how to

produce. ,3 Send for descriptive catalogue.

With tragic air the lovelorn heir
Once chased the chaste Louise;

She quickly guellsed her guest was there
To please her with his pleas.

Now at her side he kneeling sighed,
.7 His sighs of woeful size;
0h, hear me here, for lo, most low
I rise before your eyes. .

This soul is sole thine own, Louise—
I‘will never wean, I ween,

The love that I for aye shall feel,
Though mean may be its mien 1”

“You know I cannot tell you no ”
The maid made aDSWer true—3

"I love you aught, as sure I ought—
To you ’t is due I do 0"

‘ ‘Sinee you are won, 0 fairest one
The marriage rite is right— ’
The chapel aisle I’ll lead you up
This night," exclaimed the knight. '

A good story is told on from Washington.
It IS sand. that a member of one of the con
tlnental embassies there—Belgian, German
or Austrian—who was talking with a Yankcd
girl, suddenly said to her: “Ah, I beg par—
don, but I. fear I must ask you to speak
French, as I learned my English in London.
“Indeed!” was the reply, “then I’m sorry
to say that I fear the conversation must
stop, for I learned my French in Paris."
The insolent diplomat got just what he
deserved, and he will probably not be saucy
to aYankee girl again for some time to come.
The story may not be true. but its incidents
are very possible on both sides.

The Editor.

The work Of an editor can only be appre-
ciated by those who have had‘the fortune to
_ have had some little experience of it. The

editor of a London daily newspaper is held
answerable for every wcrd in 48, and some-
times 60, columns. The merest slip of the
pen, an epithet too much, a wrong date, a
name misspell; or with a wrong initial before
it, a mistake as to some obscure personage
only too glad to seize the opportunity of
showing himself, the misinterpretation of
some passage perhaps incapable of interpre-
tation, the most trifling offense to the per—
sonal or national susceptibility Of those who
do not even profess to care for the feelings
of others, may prove not only disagreeable,
but even costly mistakes; but they are

 

 

editor is liable. As it is impossible to say
what a night may bring forth, and the most
important intelligence is apt to be the latest,

responsibility, without advisers, and with
colleagues either pro-engaged on other mat-
ters or no longer at hand. The editor must
be on the spot till the paper is sent to the
press, and make decisions on which not only
the approval of the British public, but great
events, and even great causes, may hang.
All the most serious parts Of his duties has
to be discharged at the end of along day’s

tions, of letter reading and letter writing,
when mind and body are not what they were
12 hours ago, and wearied nature is putting
in her gentle pleas. An editor cannot hus—
band his strength for the night’s battle with
comparative repose in the solitude of a study
or the freshness of green fields. He must
see the world, converse with its foremost
or busiest actors, be open to information,‘
and on guard against error. All this Ought
to be borne in mind by those who complain!
that journalism is not infallibly accurlitc,just
and agreeable. Their complaints are like
those of the court lord who found fault with
the disagreeable necessities of warfare.—Lon-
don Times.

 

ORIENTAL BARGAINS—Every traveler in
Palestine learns from experience that he has
to pay an ample price for everything he
receives. and enjoys. There seems to be' no
fixed price, but the vendor or employe gets
-nll hefindsihnossible to procure. Bahama
of his methods, peculiar enough, is to be-
gln his bargain by making no change. -.We
remember that the dragoman to whom we
applied at Nablus to conduct us to Damascus
refused at first to make any charge whatever
for his services, but declared he would be
amply rewarded for his eight days’ going
and returning by the mere companionship of a
Frank. _0n urging him to name a price, he
put so high an estimate upon his valuable
aid that we were compelled to forego the .
pleasure of his company. We f0und out
that it was all a ruse. He was hoping to be
offered Our price, thinking it might be a large
one, and was determined that if it did not
sult him, he would then raise it as high as
he might see fit. . Every one who has
traveled at all leisurely through the- country
has met with similar instances Of' shrewd
bargaining. Dr. Thomas says he has been
presented with hundreds of houses and fields
and horses, and by-standers'were called‘iu
tozwitness the deed,.and a score of protes—
tations and oaths were taken to seal the truth
of the donation; all of which mean just
nothing, or rather just as great a price as he
could possibly be induced to pay. A knowl.
edge of this adroit method of dealing, still
current in Palestine, greatly facilitates our
understanding of Abraham’s purchase of a
burial place for his wife. Hebron is much
the same to—day as in his time. If one were
to arrange for the purchase :0f a tomb fora
family, he would likely be told that he
could have one for nothing. There is great
seclusiveness in the matter of tombs, and a
high price is expected. The Hittites said
-to Abraham, on his application for the pur;
chase of one: “Hear us, my lord: thou art
a mighty prince among us: none of us
shall withold from thee his sepulchre, but
thatjthou mayest bury thy dead._” Beauti.
ful compliment! but only compliment.
Abraham, however, was too shrewd a man
not to see through the trick; so he refused
the liberal offer, but insisted on paying for
the burial place. Ephron, with all duepo—
liteness, said: “Nay, my lord, ‘hear me-
the field give I thee, and the cave that i,s
therein, 1 give it thee; in the presence of
the sons of my people give I it thee : bury
the dead.” But Abraham ‘understood the
proposition for bulcshcesh too well to accept
and insisted on an outright purchasé. so'
Ephron named four hundered shekels of sil-
ver. But “four hundred shekels; what is
that betwrxt me and thee l” A mere trifle
by_name, but a very large price in fact.
This; however, was serious business for
Abraham, and he made no objection. So he
proceeded to weigll out the money, just as
men do now in alestine, with a little pair
of scales, to see that none of the coins are
clipped. But Oriental custom requires that
all the specifications be named in every
contract: When you buy a horse, not only
the building, but every room in it, must be‘
named, above and below, down to the
kitchen, pantry, stable, and hen-coop. SO
when Abraham bought afield, he also bought
the: cave that was therein, and all the trees
in the field,'and all that were in all the
borders round about. Then this sale was
eflected in public, just as all similar tran«
sactions in these .days are brought about.
When any sale is now effected in a town or
village, the whole population turn out to
witness it, in the space about the city gate.
All the people take part in discussing the
matter with as much interest as if they were

. personally concerned. In this way the trans-

 

action acquires legal forcc; it has many liv-
ing witnesses—Dr J. F. HUlrsT in Harper’s
Magazine. V

and Joe Jefferson plays forty weeks as Rip
Van Winkle and earns $120,000. The
scholarly and gifted Dr. Storrs has $10,000,
and Maggie Mitchell earns $30,000 to $50,-

for, $8,000 a year, and Dr. Hepworth for
$5,000, while Dion Boucicault has just fin-
ished a season as the “Shaughraun,”,etc., at
$3,000 a week, and his managers scold him.

longer at the, same price. Dr. Potter of
Grace Church, has $10,000 and a parsonage

gets $10,000, while pretty Miss Neilson gets
