EX-lllllllllll Ill llllllll ———————-— EdWili B. Russell’s Arrest Sets Peep e In l’assaio to Talking. HIS REMARKABLE CAREER. He Married a Woman Nearly Seventy Years Old and Resigned His Pastor- ate -— Held \Vithout ‘ Bail —— Five Boy \Vitne‘sses Against Him. PASSAIC, N. J., March iii—Edwin B. Russell, formerly a Protestant Episcopal clergyman. was arrested in Paterson on charges growing out of revelations made by two Passaic boys, John Strunk and .Benjamin Oakes. The boys were arrested on suspicion of having stolen two clocks, which they were trying to sell. sorted that Russell gave them the clocks, and, on being closely questioned by the chief of police, they made a confession of their conduct with Russell and told of other boys who had been in the habit of visiting Russell’s house. Russell left Passréc before he could be arrested and went to the United States- hotel, in Paterson, w ere he was found by the police. He was he (1 without bail for examination today, after pleading not guilty before Justice Bowker here. To- day he was held without bail for the ac- tion of the grand jury. Russell is 54 years old. He lived alone in an apartment on the ground floor of 404 Lafayette avenue, in the fashionable part of the city. He lived in good style and kept an English valet. It was understood that he occupied his time as a book re- viewer. Russell was pastor of St. Paul’s Epis- copal church, in Paterson. ten years ago. but resigned after the vestrymen had con- sidered the matter of gossip concerning his marriage. He had just married a widow nearly 70 years old, Mrs. Jane Brown. Before the marriage she deeded her property to the clergyman. She was reputed to be worth $250,000. Her relatives talked so much about it that Russell finally deeded the property back to his wife. and shortly after that they separated; The clergyman resigned his charge. After that he had charge of the Ameri- can church, in Florence. Italy, and left that charge because of a good deal of talk. Then he came back to this country, and after a rumor that he had joined the R0- man Catholic church Bishop Scarborough deposed him from the Episcopal diocese of New Jersey. Five “’itucsscs Against Him. When Russell was arraigned in the po— lice court today, five boys appeared against him. , The arrest of Russell and the subsequent developments haveserved as a great shock to Passaic and neighboring towns, as the prisoner is well known, not only in New Jersey, but in New York city and up the state. It is probable that before the case is end- ed the scandal may involve some of the. oldest and best known families in this town and Paterson. Already 20 boys ranging from 16 to 18 years old have been found who tell revolt- ing stories about scenes in Russell’s flat. Chief of Police Hendry of this place, who arrested Russell, is. however, anxious to confine the scandal to the smallest pos- sible limits and to prevent the names of most of the boys from getting into print for the sake of their families. For this reason he has selected only five witnesses for the present. After Strunk and Oake‘s had told their stories, they were corroborated by many other boys, all of whom refused to talk ex- cept under promise that their names would be kept secret. . Russell sent for Lawyer Paul R. Lef- ferts to defend him. The examination was held in private. Chief Hendry repeated the stories of Strunk and Cakes, and then pro- duced three other Passaic boys, who gave testimony against the prisoner. Russell Denies It All. The boys were each between 16 and 17 years old. They told of frequent visits to Russell’s flat and how he treated them. When they asked for water, they testi- fied, he gave them wine. “And so.” add- ed one of the boys, “we always asked for Water.” The story of each boy agreed with that told by his companion. They had been visiting Russell’s flat several times aweek for the past four months. After all the testimony had been heard and the prisoner remanded it was said that his lawyer would apply to the su- preme court for a Writ of habeas corpus. Russell is reputed to be very wealthy. He has gray hair, shaves his upper lip and chin, but wears small side whiskers that give him the appearance of an English coachman. When seen in his cell today, Russell de- nied the accusations made against him. He declared that he had befriended the boys who appeared against him. He said that he had fed and clothed Strunk and had got him a good place in an office. The charges, Russell says, are made at the in- stigation of some of his enemies. Revenue Cadets Sail.

Peter Shay, of Washington, Packs the Precious Metal in Regs—He Has Been in the Business Thirty Years. A sturdy old man whose office is in a dingy little building down town is an important factor in the gold ship- ments that are made from this coun- try. JamesShay is the man’s name, and he supervises the handling of near- ly all the gold coin and bullion that is shipped abroad. Shay is a. c00per by trade, and at his little shop at 18 Fletcher street are made nearly all the kegs and boxes in which the pre- cious yellow metal is shipped. It is needless to say that the cooper of Fletcher street has been a very busy man these last few years, and conserv- ative estimates of the gold which he and his assistants have handled during the last 12 months would be $150,- 000,000. When it is added that Mr. Shay has been in the business over 30 years, the enormous fortunes which have passed through his hands without the loss of a single dollar can best be appreciated. - When a banker or some large export- ing house finds it necessary to make . a shipment to Europe, about the first thing that is done is to send for Mr. Shay, who has a virtual monopoly of this part of the business. Gold for shipment abroad is packed in kegs and boxes, just as the fancy of the shipper may dictate. For amounts ex- ceeding $500,000 kegs are generally used, as they are easier to handle, and contain $50,000 each. The empty kegs are made of well-seasoned oak, and handed with hoops of steel. \l’hcn packed and sealed each keg weighs nearly 200 pounds. The boxes used by the cooper are made of basswood or oak, neatly dovetailed. These are also bound with strips of steel. \Vhen Cooper Shay receives an order from a banker to pack a quantity of gold, the boxes or kegs are sent from his shop to the bank. There, with the help of a few lrusltr-rzl assistants. the jacking is done in a mom used for that purpose. After the gold has been put in stout canvas bags, containing $5.00.) to $10,— 000 each, and carefully scaled, they are put in the boxes or kegs, which, in turn, are sealcd with tape and wax in three or four places. "hey are then placed on a truck and conveyed to the steamship IJICI‘. Not once has anyone ever tried to molest the truckman, but this may be through ignorance of the precious load he is driving. reason, too, is that the truck is always guarded by several armed men. It is no exaggeration to say that the amount handled by Mr. Shay, if con- verted into double eagles, would make a pathway 100 feet wide around the globe. Certain it is that if (he money were all his, Mr. Shay’s wealth would be greater than that of the Rothschilds, Vanderbilts, Rockefellcrs, Goulds and Astors put together. “Are you not sometimes possessed of a strong desire to run away with a portion of the many millions which you handle?" asked the reporter. “N ever," said the cooper, with a smile. “The metal weighs too much, and I don’t. think 1 could carry it very far before I got caught myself.” The old cooper has been engaged at his trade for upward of 35 years. He has amassed a modest- competence, and lives with his family of grown-up children in a neat little house in' Brooklyn. When he goes home at night he forgets all about the fortunes which pass through his hands, and is probably more contented than any of the millionairs of Wall street. —Washington Star. HOM E-TH RUST. Lord Mansfield’s Scotch Blood Loses Him an Important Case. It is said that the saying: “Much may be done with a. Scotchman if he be caught young,” which has passed into an historical witicism, was first spoken by Dr. Johnson in reference to Lord Mansfield. An amusing little incident is said to have given rise. to the re- mark. Lord Mansfield, having received his education entirely in England, always considered himself an Englishman, but. the fact that. he was born in Scotland was once referred to with great- effect. Gen. Sabine. governor of Gibrallar at the time, having failed in his attempts to extort money from a Jew, sent him back by force to Tetuan, in Morocco, from whence he had come to Gibraltar. The Jew afterward went to England, and sued the governor for damages. Lord Mansfield, who was then known as Mr. Murray, was counsel for the gov- ernor. In the course of his defense be-‘ fore the jury, he said: “True, the Jew was banished; but where? \Vhy, to the place of his-na- tivityl Where is the cruelty, where the 'liardshi p, where the injustice of banish— ing a man to his own country?” Mr. Nowell, counsel for the Jew, re- torted: “Since my learned friend thinks so lightly of the. matter, I ask him to suppose the case his own; would he like to be banished to his native land ?” The court rang with peals of laugh- ter, in which Murray himself joined with a. right good will.—Youth‘s Com- panion. The Sense of Direction. If there be, as some suppose, a sixth sense, by which animals, birds and in- sects know in what. direction to move toward a given spot, how many strange things it explains! The late Prof. Riley once hatched some Japanese ailanthus silkworms in Chicago. He confined a female mot-h in a small cage; he car~ ried a male of the family by night to another part of the city, a mile and a half away, and liberated it, having first attached a silk thread to its abdomen. In the morning the male moth was hov- ering around the cage of his imprisoned sister,——Youth’s Companion. VAL, ‘. r' . Another A - ,..— “I'M"; ‘ ‘ BEST my MEDICINE.

I was suffering night and da- with dyspepsia, Icould not eat at ything, my stomach would sour so. I had to starve myself to have any ease. I had to give up work at last, ‘I was so nervow- and miserable, and Iwas falling away in flash so that my friends hardly knew me. I tried several remedies but wiahout avail. At. last someone recom~ mended Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy. I tried one bottle and began to improve. I started in to cut all right; then I picked up my health; my headaches disappeared and my weakness and sour slomach went away.

S A-¥ Both Seem Uncomfortable. Accustomed to her own loosely-flow- ing robes, the little Japanese woman is quite mystified when she is shown a picture of a group of European ladies in evening dress. “Why are all these women out out in the middle?” she asks, with a puzzled expression; “are they born like that?” And when she is told “N o”—“Then why do they make themselves like that?” glancing at her own slender, though by no means ex- aggerated, figure, adding, in a low voice: “How very uncomfortable.” The fact that she on the other hand, rarely takes down her elaborate coiffure, which necessitates a. little ma- hogany pillow with a hollow in it, so that she may not disarrange the won- derful erection in her sleep,would strike European women in much the same 1ight.——Detriot Free Press.

The advance in the accuracy of work- manship in machinery is one of the re- markable features of manufactur: z. Formerly if a shaft could be made right within 1-32 of an inch all was well. In- deed, under old processes this was as fine a degree of correctness as the eye could perceive. But this was alto- gether too far from perfect to answer many purposes, and mechanics set about devising some means to insure more absolute accuracy. One of the first suggestions that the eye was less reliable than the fingers came from the fitting of certain cylinders with plugs. It was found that a number of plugs could be made all precisely alike so far as the eye could judge, but the veriest novice detected a difference in their size the moment they were applied to the hole for which they were intended. It is said that now the difference of 1-5000 of an inch can readily be per- ceived by the most inexperienced per- son—N. Y. Ledger. If MEEKER COAL 136. V GOAL, WOOD, BRICK, LIME, CEMENT, ll‘lE PIPE.
