' ALLEGED SWINDLERS ARRESTED.
The Peculiar Business Methods of a Gang
‘of Budket Shop Men. .
NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—-With the arrest
at William H. McClure and Dr. John
Craig the United‘States postofiice inspect-
ors think that they have secured the last
members of a gang of swindlers for whom
they have been searching for several
months. McClure was arrested at Louis
River, and Craig was secured at Seaside
Park.
In this city the crowd operated at 45
Broadway under the name of J. M. Mor-
gan &. 00., but at various times they con-
ducted operations under the names Craig
& 00., Patterson & Co. and Thomas & Co.
The other members of the gang, which
has been operating in almost every state
in the Union, were arrested in Chicago.
They gave their names as James F. Mc-
Clure, William Thomas and J. I. Tallman.
The postoifice inspectors have been receiv-
ing many complaints concerning the Work-
ings of the gang, and it is thought that
the ,crowd has secured about $750, 000
through its swindling operations.
The gang ostensibly operated a bucket
shop and made a pretense of buying and
selling grain on commission. They in-
serted advertisements in country papers
saying that any money sent them would
be so invested as to bring in enormous re-
turns The gains were to be handed over
to the speculators within a week from the
time the original money was forwarded.
The advertisements were unusually invit-
ing, and the answers receiveddaily num»,
bered hundreds.
Purchasers were allowed to buy or sell
grain as they desired, but it all came to
the same end, as the money Wentinto the
cofiers'of the firm. no matter which way
the market moved.
When money was received with instruc-
tions to buy, the order was either filled at
the highest quotation of the day on which
the order was received or not filled at all.
As a general thing, at some time during
the day the market receded 1 cent below
the highest quotation, and then the firm’s
dupes were informed that their money
had been lost. - : '
When an order to sell was received, the
operation was simply reversed, while the
same result was obtained. A low quota
tion-was selected as a buying point. and
as soon as the market declined 1 cent the
lamb was informed that his margins had
been exhausted and his_.noney lost.
The pesto ce authorities received so
many com ts concerning the opera-
tions of the concern that they put a special
detective on their trail and finally arrest-
ed them. McClure and Craig are both in
the Jersey City jail, being unable to fur-
nish the 88, 000 under which each is held.
, DEATH 01' LADY TENNY’SON.“
She Was Emily Sellwood and Hersel.
Wrote Verses of Merit. g
LONDON, Aug. 11.—-Emily Lady Tenny-
son, widow- of Lord Alfred 'l'enny-
son, the late 'poet- lahreate, died at her
residence at Aldworth at an early hour
today from congestion of the lungs
Lady, Tennyson Was-a daughter of Mr.
Henry Sellwood of ‘ Somersby and a niece
of Sir John Franklin. f When the late poet
\ .‘ laureate firstmei
her‘ at» Somersby,
she possessed
described her as
glittering bl u e
a. eyes, “and,” he
adds, “were it not
_ "7 very delicate _ in
g . he'a'ltii,good might
be argued of Ten-
,w'” .nyson's , adven-
. _ture. Emily Sell-
. .fl‘ ' wood married
. LADY TENNYSON' ‘ Tennyson in~1850,
and. her subsequent life showed that Car-
lyle had not been mistaken in his judg-
ment. ' She always sufiered more or less
. ,. ..- '-‘_
.fromhillness. and for many years before
her death she had been acomplete invalid.
But, although she was bodily disabled,
her mental power was by no means weak~
ened and remained active to the last. She
had talent in poetry, as some of her verses
testify; Several of. them are to be found
in Palgrave’s “Treasury of Sacred Song.”
Lady Tennyson was also a good musi-
cian and set to music many of her hus-
band’s songs. It was she also who wrote
the music for the lines dictated by Tenny-
son on his deathbed which were sung at
his funera' service in Westminster abbey.
Lord Tennyson’s brother, Charles, mar-
ried a sister of Miss Sellwood.

THE NUMBER KILLED, SEVEN
Fifty Persons Were Injured, Several oi
' Them Seriously—A Deranged Brake
:Apparatus Was Alone ' 3.3"
sponsible For the Trouble.
LANCASTER, Pa, Aug. 11.—'—'Ihe runa-
way trolley car on the Columbia and Don'-
egal railway killed 7 persons and in—
jured 50 more. The car was returning to
Columbia frOm Chickies Park, when the
brake rigging broke on a steep grade. ’
There were about 90 passengers aboard,
who became paniclstricken when they saw,
the car was beyond control. The bill Was
a long one, and every moment the run-
away gathered additional speed,’untll it is
estimated by those on board that it Was
running fully ‘a mile a minute“ when it
struck a sharp curve and left the track.
It ran across the turnpike running paral-
lel with the 'trolley road and struck
against a tree and then toppled over into
a deepditch, being turned, upside down.
Those who escaped injury or were only
slightly wounded crawled from the wreck-
age covered with the blood of their more
unfortunate fellow passengers, and at once
began the work of rescue. The shrieks of
the wounded and the pleadings of some
of :the more seriouslyinjured. to be killed
.to put them out of their misery were most
pitiable. To add to the horror of the sit-
uation, there wasno light of any kind un-
til some time after the wreck. .
The first hody‘ taken out was thatzof
Henry Smithpan’v iron worker of Colum-
bia, who had been instantly killed by a
piece of wood which pierced his head. _.
Adam Foehlinger, the Inotorman, was
found a few moments later under the car,
having been crushed to death, and near
by him was William Pinkerton, a Colum—
bia boy, who had met a similar fate.
Chief Burgess H. H. Heis of Columbia,
who had been riding on the rear platform.
jumped a few moments before the car left
the track, and his lifeless body was found
about a quarter ot a mile away, his neck
having been broken. _ .
William Metzger of Columbia had both
legs crushed so badly that they had to be
amputated. and he died a few hours later.
W. J. Ludlcw of Sea Girt. N. J., mana-
ger of the Atlantic Fish company, was so
badly injured that he died shortly aft-er
being removed to the Columbiahospital.
Miss Elsie N. Fitzgerald of ‘ Lancaster
had the left side of her heaJ crushed. and
died. . , ‘ .

lows:
