E. C. Gibson’s Operations Extend-
ed All Overthe Country.
HOTELS WERE 'VIOTIMIZED
He Got $1,000 from Bunker Henry
Clews—A Cleveland Woman Swin-
dled Out of $6,000—Pussed Bud
Checks.
New York, Oct. 8.-Chief of Detec-
Lives McClusky had at Police Headquar-
ters this afternoon a man WhOm he
charges with being one of the great-
est swindlers ever known in this
country. His operations, McClusky al-
leges in his complaint, “have covered
a period of years and have netted him
at least $400,000.
The man under arrest is Emmet C.
Gibson, alias George A. Sherin. He
said thathe was 39 years old and
lived at the Hotel Bartholdi. He was
arrested at the Grand Hotel, at Thir-
tieth street and Broadway, by De-
tectives Evanhoe and Connelly.
Gibson is a lawyer, and was, he says,
once president of the Akron Street
Railway in Ohio. He says that he is
now vice-president of the road.
The specific charge against Gibson is
that he passed a bogus check on Aug.
6, 1896, for $620 on the manager of the
Imperial Hotel. He tendered the check
in payment for a board bill of $265.
That is one of his methods, Detective
McClusky says. Another method is
selling bogus stocks and bonds.
Gibson had an office in the rear of
Henry Clews’ place in the Mills Build-
ing. He swindled Henry Clews, it is
charged out of $1,000. .
A list of the hotels where he is said
.to have passed bad checks is as fol—
glows: Hotel Netherlands, Continental
IHotel and the Fifth Avenue Hotel, of
. this city; the Cadillac and Lincoln ho-
‘tels in Pittsburg, the Hollander Hotel,
of Cleveland, Ohio; the Bristol Inn, of
Akron, Ohio, and the Parker House,
Boston.
He was arrested on Jan. 1, 1897, on
the complaint of the proprietor of the
Parker House in Boston for a. board
bill of $400. He is said to have given a
bad check for $500 in payment and
pocketed the change.
Gibson hired as his secretary W. H.
Campbell, and is said to have swindled
him out of $350.
A widow in Cleveland, Ohio, is said
to have lost $6,000, which she was in-
duced to invest in a motor at Gibson’s
suggestion.
Examination: for Consuls.
Washington, Oct. S.—The President
has recently designated a number of
persons to take examinations for ap-
pointments as United States Consuls,
and if the requirements are met, the
commissions will be soon made out. In.
the list are two men from Maryland,
Howard Carroll, a nephew of ex—Gov.
John Lee Carroll, who will be appoint-
ed Consul to Messina, and Talbott Al-
bert, who will be sent to Brunswick,
Germany. Mr. Carroll is not satisfied
with the small post given him, which
pays only $1,500 a. year, and through
members of the State delegation. in
Congress is endeavoring to secure some
more important place. ,
The plan now pursued by the Presi-
dent in_selecting Consuls is to order
them to appear for examination and
announces the appointments just be-
fore they are ready to sail for abroad.

Hotel Bartholdi on‘Sunday night. From
this city he will go to Philadelphia,

‘ The Robberies nt Vassar.
' Poughkeepsle, Oct. 8.—The mystery of
the series of robberies at Vassar Col-
lege that plagued the officials for sev-
eral years has apparently been cleared
up by the arrest in Kingston of a
former servant at the college. known
variously as Cora and Catherine Sim-
monds and Ruby Livingston, and the

peared with $325 of his employer's
money, has sent it back. The police

cashier.
Mr. Dunn ls Weaker.
New York, Oct. 8.—The chances are
now against the recovery of the Hon.

this morning. Mr. Dana is at his Sum-
mer home in Roslyn, L. I.

When an incident. like the following
occurs right here at home it is bound
to carry weight with our readers.
When so many strange occurrences go
the rounds of the press, are published
as facts when the intelligent reader
knows they cannot be true, there is no
wonder that people become skeptical.
On one subject skepticism is rapidly
disappearing. This is due to the act-
ual personal experience of our citizens,
and their public utterances regarding
them. The doubter must doubt no
more in the face of such evidence as
this. The public statement of a reput-
able citizen living night-here at home,
one whom you can see every day, leaves
no ground for the skeptic to stand on.
Mrs. John .Grace, of 32 Plattsville
avenue, says: “I am well up in years,
and for quite along time I have suifered
with my back and kidneys. The pain
often extended down into my limbs and
was frequently so severe that I sup-
posed I had rheumatism. I was advised
to use Doan’s Kidney Pills, and began
taking them. I think the pills are a
good thing, they cured me.”
Doan’s Kidney Pills are for sale by
all dealers, price 50 cents per box, 6
boxes for $2.50. Sent by mail on re-
ceipt of price. Foster—Milburn 00.,

.. - 7 * Eu LL 'TAMMANV TICKET. ‘31
Withdrawal of -; Rapper-tr ancr no.1
of Other Sin-prises.
New --York-,' -' "Oct. '. 8.—The Tammany
Hall Convention, to .name a county '
ticket, was called to order at 2.3;:
o’clock yest’erday afternoon.
It was a typical Tammany crowd.
noisy and geodLnatured, and as the
celebrities came in they were received
with cheers. ' . '
At 2.40 o’clock Maurice Holahan, who
had been selected to preside at the con—
vention, rapped for order, and then
made a speech, roasting Mr. Platt’s
party with true Tammany vigor. He
announced that the only issues of the
campaign are “low taxes, home rule,
personal liberty, and the excise law.”
John W. Keller was named for per-
manent chairman. He made a speech,
the principal feature of which was that
he voted for Bryanand helped nom-l
inate Judge Van Wyck.
After the reading of the platform
John C. Sheehan came forward and
presented a resolution directing the
convention to proceed to the nomina-
tion of candidates for two Justices of
the Supreme Court, two Judges of the
City Court, a Sheriff, 3. County Clerk,
a Register and four Coroners.
The following is the full ticket nom-
inated:
For Justices of the Supreme Court-—
Charles H. Van Brunt and Francis M.
Scott.
For Justices of the City Court—John
Henry McCarthy and Edward F.
O’Dwyer.
For Sheriff—Thomas F. Dunn.
For County Clerk—William Sohmer.
For Register—Isaac Fromme.
For District Attorney—Asa Bird
Gardiner.
For President of/the Borough of Man-
hattan—Augustus W. Peters.
For Coroners—Edward T. Fitzpat-
rick, Jacob E. Bausch, Edward W.
Hart and Antonio Zucca.
Grady, it will be observed, is not on
the ticket. Another piece of news is
the withdrawal of Jacob Ruppert, Jr.,
from the city ticket, on which he hadq
been nominated for President of the
Council. ’
THE MYSTERIOUS WILSON MURDER.
Titterman, the Suspect, Thought to be
Demented and His Story Untrue.
Philadelphia, Oct. 8.—The man who
surrendered himself to the police on
Monday and said that he was one of
the murderers of William C. Wilson,
the librarian, giving his name as Will-
iam Harris, has been identified as John
Tittermary’. He is well known to the
authorities.
The police now believe that Titter-
mary is demented.
lars the story which he told when he
surrendered himself seemed probable,
but his alleged confession has been
found to be untrue.
The man Monk, whom Tittermary
described as one of his accomplices,
was in prison at the time of the mur-
der, where he was serving a. sentence
for robbing railroad cars. Tittermary
was examined yesterday for the pur-
pose of ascertaining his mental condi-
tion, but the result of the examination
has not been made public.
MAIL TUBE SERVICE.
Dr. Depevv Sends the First Parcel—A
Cut Sent Through the Tube.
New York, Oct. 8.—At fifteen minutes
past noon yesterday Chauncey M. De-
pew wrapped a small silk American
flag around a Bible and copies of the
Constitution of the United States and
President McKinley’s inaugural ad-
dress. He put them into , a. special
“carrier,” which he placed in the open-
ing of the new pneumatic mail tube
from the Post-Office to the Produce
Exchange. One minute‘later the ”car-
rier” was started for .the Exchange
Post-Office station. It arrived there in
a second or two over a one minute.
This. was the
Greater New York mail tube service.
When completed next January, the
system will comprise six pneumatic
tubes, two of which will connect the
General Post-Office Building with the
Produce Exchange, two with the
branch station at Forty-fourth street
and Lexington avenue, and two with
the main office in Brooklyn.
After the sending of the first “car-
rier” others went and returned in rapid
succession. The returning ones brought
sorts of curious things, among
others being a handsome, live, Angora
cat.
Hazleton Deputy Missing.
Hazleton, Pa., Oct. 8.—The where;
abouts of Henry Diehl, one of Sheriff
Martin’s deputies, who disappeared on
the day of the Lattimer shooting, is
still a mystery, and efforts to_find a.
trace of him are being made. The miss-
ing man is 42 years old.
His wife is prostrated. She and her
five children are in abject poverty.
Diehl left without even telling his wife
of the shooting. The theory that he
has been murdered is not generally ac-
cepted.
Queen’s Vlew of (In.
London, Oct. 8.——Vani.ty Fair yester-
day said:
“The Queen-Empress was very much
grieved at the attitude of the United
States eighteen months ago, and it is
an open'secret that Her Majesty, who
has made a close study of the Ameri- ..
can people, holds almost pessimistic
views in regard to the stability and fu-
ture of the Republic.
"The Queen’s long conversation with
Sir Wilfrid Laurier, when that states-
man was in England, would make most
interesting reading."
Big Fire in Detroit.
Detroit, Oct. 8.—Fire early yesterday
morning destroyed five large buildings
and two smaller ones, with all their
contents, in the centre of the business
part of this city. The total loss is close
to $700,000. The fire started on the
stage of the Detroit Opera House, and
was not discovered until the rear wall
of the theatre had been blown out by
the explosion of a. calcium light. It
was four hours from the time the fire
started before it was under control.
Epidemic or Diphtheria.
New London, Oct. 8.—Diphtheri~a is
epidemic in Montville. Fifteen cases
are reported, and several deaths have
occurred. Antitoxin does not prove, ef-
fectual, and ‘trachcotdmy has been per-
