Westport’s great Fourth of July cclebra-'

Torn Fields delivered an oration, rain fell
all day, and somebody, after all was ovur,
be the authorized agent of the Missouri
State government, thereby deceiving Mr.
Lyon, and making the game of palming
off $271,185 worth of securities look
plausible, he would not now be waiting
in’ the Tombs to explain. The New York
Herald of Friday, comes out fiat fiootcd
and associates Mr.
them in the following language:
covery that the men Biggs, Brie and Lyon
had entered into a conspiracy and, had
succeeded in securing a large sum of
money by disposing of the forged papers.
Briggs, who is seventy years old, was
believed to be the one who planned the
scheme. He has long been known to the
authorities as a shrewd swindler.“ He
‘ was arrested a great many years ago for
attempting to blackmail old John Jacob
Astor, and was sentenced to five years
Imprisonment. Brie was also a leading
spirit in the conspiracy. For years he
was the partner in crime of Charles Sacia.
the forger, whose son figured in the chfis
wrll case in New Jersey. Brie and Sacta
the elder Were arrested in Michigan in
1868 for forgery, and being convicted,
were sentenced to seven years. ,The
latter died in prison, but his companion
served a full term. Brie, who claims to
be a lawyer, has an elegantly fitted resi-
dence at Stamford. Wesley Lyon, the
other man engaged in the 'conspiracy, is
also a lawyer, and lives at 122d street and
Western boulevard. He was arrested
about eighteen months age by Detectives
Frrnk and Dusenburry charged with
swrndling a man named Middleton out of
$500 by selling him bogus mining stocks.
He was placed under $6,000 hail, but
was never tried.” .'
On Tuesday afternoon last, Mr. Elnal
than Allen who had been down the river
clamming returned, moroed his boat near
Bald Mountain, and entered the home of
Bradley Baker. Soon after, he went out,
.as the familyI supposed, to take care, of
his boat, and was not seen again alive“
At about 4:30 he was found dead in the
water near his boat. It is believed that
in a fit he fell while either stepping into
or out of the boat. Notice of the death
was sent to County Coroner Holt, but
that official did not arrive till Wednesday
at 2 o’clock, the body. covered with can-
vas lying more ,than, twenty hours in
plain sight all that . time. The funeral of
Mr. Allen, took place Thursday, and the
burial in Greens Farms. Deceased was 45
years old and unmarried.

Quick Time by the Arizona.
The steamship Arizona, of the Onion
Line, arrived from Liverpool last evening
after an unusually quick passage. She
left Liverpool on June 10 and at 9:40 on
the following morning she passed Roche’s
Point, which is just outside of Queens-
town Harbor. On June 18 409 mice
were traveled, and on the following day
401 miles. On June23 the Arizona ac-
complished 400 miles. 0n the 2lst the
weather was foggy and the Arizona’s en“
glues were slowed down for 11 hours.
On the following day the steamer pro-
ceeded slowly for five hours, owing to the
fog. Notwithstanding these delays the
voyage was accomplished in- less than
seven days and 14 hours. Mr. Bartley
Campbell, the dramatic author, was one
of the passengers of the Arizona—N. Y.
Times. ,
Passage tickets by the Arizona and
Alaska the two fastest and safest steamers
crossing the ocean, are sold at the GA-
stTn counting room.
