ROBBED HIS UNCLE. I THE STORY" YOUNG WALLACC TELLS AFTER'HIS SOJOURN IN CUBA. Details <>f Some tf the Doin^'of Lively YouiigiMan . orK Sim. Young Robert H. Wallace and Igniz. Batch Low-tz, who robbed Wallace's uncle and employer John H Wallace, proprietor of Wallace's Monthly, of #52.000 in bonds and fled to Havana, were brought back yesterday by luspecteor Byrnes' detectives Thomas Adams and Robert 31cNaugiit, and locked up at police headquarters. Wallace told^thc inspector a remarkable storv,i of ins downfall and light witd Lowitz. One day last October Wallace said he met Lowitz in the com dor of the Stewart building, where the ^offices rvf \J7vnfliiv are. and Low itz asked him to cash a $50 cheek for him. Wallace cashed the check, -vliich was on the Woonsocket Silk Tdui v Company, and was signed R. W. W aits. Wallace sent the check to the bank, and before he had time to hear from the bank Lowitz asked * him to cash a similar checl: for ?200. Wallace accommodated him. The next day the first checl: came back toWallace marked worthless. Wallace says that when he asked Lowitz to iiiiike srocd the checks Lowitz said that be had a lot of diamonds in a pawn shop, and that if Wallace would advance the money to redeem the stones he would sell them and oiorc than repay Wallace.Wallace said . that he gave Lov.itz a cheek for $1, 100. Lowiiz redeemed the diamonds and sold a fc-w of them, but did not repay him any part of the $250 he had advanced him on the bogus cheeks. Then Lowitz said to him: "You are in a box, my boy. But I'm xuiug in the bookmating business, und will soon be able to repay you." Wallace says that Lowitz had no luck, but told him of a "shtc thing," on wnieh he wanted to bet ?2,500. \v':utold hi that he could ffive iiiui 2jo more checks, as the money hrut ran out. Then Lowitz, "Wallace sr.y-v .^aowed him how he could swindle hi* uncle out of $2,500 without i ascovered. He told Wallace i-y vyi-.ow ids uncle two checks, one for #2 , :md the other for $5, and when j ho had signed the 82 check to slip | along one for $2,500 and he would sign it without reading it. The rase worked and Wallace cashed the check ? ** ?v**" TZ/\A IA T.Annfv fA invncf I tlUvi ^11V C trxi^ tu miv^u in the races. Lowitz reported in a fesv.days that lie had lost the me.ney, and Wallace says he then told Lowitz that he had ruined liim. Lowitz consoled him by telling him that the best thing they could do was to make another bold strike and run away. *Siou have keys of the safe deposit box where your uncle keeps his bonds," Lowitz said to him. "Hob the box and we will leave this town behind us." \Y aiiace, according to xus own story, thought over the proposition for several days. He saw no way out of the trouble he had brought upon himself, and concluded to take the final step. Lowitz accompanied him io the Bankers* and Merchants' safedeposit vaults, but remained in the street. Wallace took*3.";,000 in bonds out of the box and joined Lowitz in the Cafe Savarin. They found a broker who h>^>othecatcd eight $lr 090 bonds with Vermilvea & Co., and ?4,000 of Jersey Central bonds and $4,000 of Chicago, Burlington & Quincy bonds at a place in Wall street where a brother of Lowitz works. They went to the Astor House,and W<?17or>o <sAT)f for his mistress. Sadie Adams, to whom they intrusted the bonds while they knocked around town that evening. > They boarded the Havana steamer at night and bought their tickets on board.

Yanza & Co., and received a receipt which they deposited in the safe of the Hotel .Passage. The next " day they were arrested. They engaged Lawyer Miguel Genner to defend them and upon his recommendation Wallace raid 8200 to R. IVX. Tarrafa, a runner for the hotel, to abstract the receipt from the safe and bring it to hiin. Then Genner told them that for ?2,000 he- could get the bonds and money at Vanza's, and "Wallace gave him $2,000. Then Genner told his clients that he wanted $.1,000 for his -services. He warned Wsllacethat it wa? a very serious offence m Havana to biiue an oincer, and unless the money was paid to him they'd get in further trouble. Wallace gave Gennet $1,000 in cash and two $1,000 Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific bonds. Frank Melnemcy, an American merchant who was a prisoner in the jail, told Wallace that he had better get his bonds before Genner disposed il? /vw? "\1 aIIa/ia /Tt/1 C A Oi LilUlii. OiiU 1? t.U\.l DV.

He was arrested some time ago for swindling Jeweller John Bloch, of 0 Maiden Lane, of $1,500 worth of diamonds, which he took to sell on memorandum. Inspector Brynes says that he will soon be able to restore to Mr. "Wallace ?27,000 of the So2,000 stolen.

NOT A FAIR COUNT. The People of Charleston Are Not .Satisfied With the Census Work. Charleston, S. C., June 10.?There is widespread discontent here about the result of the census enumeration, and there is good reason for believing that the work has been loosely done. Several of the enumerators gave up their work, and therefore the time will be extended at least until tomorrow. The white enumerators seem to have done their work pretty thoroughly. The negro enumerators, on the other hand, seem to 14- TW*?Tf If. 1Q QOffl I JJLiL v v; uviic iu > t-xj- w??v. that hundreds of families liavc not been counted. Tlicrc are thirty districts in the city, each of which was calculated to show over 2,000 population. Some of these fall from 500 to 800 behind, and it is claimed that this is caused by the negligence of the enumerators. Numbers of cases have been reported where the enumerate has refused to count the I members of a household who had ! been sent to a summer resort in another State after June 1st. A number of otlter cases arc reported in which the enumerator has never even halted at the house. The last city census, two years ago, gave a population of 6S,000. It is thought that the nvpspnt. census will show a total of not over 55,000. It is also said that the increase in the colored population is considerably more than that in the whites.

Silver City, N. M., June 14?Stockmen in New Mexico liave never before suffered anything Ifke the losses which are now being borne on account of the extreme shortness of feed, which has been brought partly on account of overstocked ranges, - * ' f n t ? _ but mainly on account o: inc long continued ilry weather. There has been no rainfall for more than six months in the southern portion of the; Territory, and the conscqucnce is that the ranges are bare and brown and cattle are dying by the hundreds daily. The Lyons <fc Campbell Cattic Company, one of the large companies of this county, reports an average loss of about forty head pci* day. This company lias shipped several thousand head of cattle within the past two months, as many other companies and individual owners i i v-z. a: ?.;n 112,YC UOilt*. UUli WLiC iiuitjca \wii aav/i. support the stock now on them unless tlierc are heavy rains befoie rnany days to start the grass. Some of the oldest ranchmen in this country say tliat if the dry weather continues a month longer they will lose one-fourth of their herds. Fow cattle die out on the ranges. The grass has been eaten down close to the ground in the vicinity of all the water courses and watering places, and the herds in' some instances go miles into the foot1 hills or out on the mesas, where there is better grass to feed. They rc-j main out until thrist thieves them in anil they drink their fill of water af- i ter which they invariably lio down. The weaker ones never get up. | Thousands of bloated carcasses of I dead cattle lie rotting in the scorching sun hi New Mexico, but the stockmen are bearing their losses philosophically. Good prices are being obtained for cattle shipped North for feeders. Steers which are now selling here for from ?16 to ?20 per head would not have netted shippers more than ?6 to ?S per hoad two years ago. As long as such low prions nvpvn.il there were very few cat tie shipped from Southern New Mexico, consequently the ranges became overstocked. Stock shipments from this Territory this spring have been unprecedented. For more than two months the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad has been taxed to its utmost to move stock North, and although extra crews have been put on and the motive power has been made to do extra duty, the company has been unable to furnish transportation for stock as fast as it has been brought in from the ranges. Over aaa >3 ^ ^aan cl~nv?_ I UU,UUU iiCilU Wi uaowc ped over tlio Santa Fo in the past two months from this county alone, but the shipment of this large num ber of cattle has made no appreciable improvement in the condition of the ranges, and losses from djing stock will continue at the rate of thousands of dollars daily until there is a good rain fall. In the northern part of the territory thero has been rain, and cattle are not suffering, but the losses of stock sustained by ranchmen during the blizzard last November wero about as heavy as they are in southern New Mexico now. During the past eight months more stock lias been lost in JNew Mexico than had been lost in as many years previous to last October. Notwithstanding the unusual losses of the past eight months, the average percentage of loss in New Mexico i'or ten years has been less than that of any other stock-raising section of this country. The Corn Crop and its Prices. In 1S07 the com crop of the United States covered 32,520.219 acres and amounted to 709,320,000 bushels, of a total value of $010,949,390. Corn averaged 80 cents per bushel in that year and the average value of the crop per acre was $1S.S7. In 1S87 the acreage had increased to 75.072,703 acres and the crop to 1,987,790,000 bushels, -while the aggregate value has only risen to ?G77,501,5S0. During this period the value of com had slmuik from 80 cents per bushel, and the acre that earned S18.S7 in | 1807 yielded only $.82 in 1887. Like wise with wlieat. m ib(?< tnc area devoted to wheat was 18,321,561 acres, and the crop amounted to 212.141,4000 bushels, valued at $421,780,460. The acreage in 1887 was 87,041,783 acres, and, although the crop had more than doubled, to 456,329,000 bushels, its value was! only $385,248,030, or $30,518,430 less than the cron of not half the size in 18G7. The average value of the wheat crop fell from ?1.08 per bushel in 1SG7 to 87.3 cents in 1887, and the value of the crop per acre decreased in the same period from $23.05 to i $10.30. Rye, oats, barley and buckwheat make a similar, though even worse, showing, but com and wheat, as the largest crops, are sufficient to show that the American farmer has been going down-hill, in spite of his tarili protection, at a more rapid pace than the mosi rabid protectionist would care to predict as the result of a partial removal of onerous tariff taxes. Water From the River Jordan. The Rev. Dr. A. Toomer Porter, occupied the pulpit of the Holy Communion Church, Charleston, last Sun- j day for the first time in a year. Tiie doctor lias just returned from a year's trip to Europe and tbfe East, and lie was warmly greeted by liis congregation on his return to them again. A baptism was performed before the morning service. The subject was an infant of one oi' the prominent membcvs oi uie cvrngrcgauuu, ?i;u was sprinkled villi water from the River ; Jordan, of which a supply lias been brought on by Dr. Porter from the scriptural stream for these ceremonies.

Kiii.iiin^ \ViI<l Down a .'Mountain?Frightful Result of a Mishap ?o a Locomotive on a Sleep ftradf. Asheville. X. CI. Juno 18.?There was a terrible wreck of freight trains on the Asheville & Spartanburg branch of the "Western North Carolina Bail Road at Melrose station last eight. Four men are reported killed, and three badly wounded. A dispatch from Spartanburg gives further particulars as follows: A terrible disaster occurred on the Asheville ?fc Spartanburg rail road last night. The company keeps an extra engine at baiuda to assist tiie freight trains 011 the heavy grade on Tryon and Saluda Mountains, a distance of several miles. Tliis engine aids the train both up and down the mountain, aiding in cheeking the speed of the east bound trains decending. and in pushing the west bound sections ascending. It was in charge of Engineer Lewis Tunstall, one of the most trusted men 011 the road, great skill being necessary to operate on so exceptional an incline. Last night about eleven o'clock the section of through freight No. 11. east bound, came down the moun tain, Tuns tali's engine being attached, besides the engine of the freight train. Tunstall should have stopped at Melrose, a station at the foot of the mountain, but it was found that his engine was unmanageable, and it rushe'd on, carrying the other engine and train, until they left the track, and caused a general wreck. Both engines and ten freight cars were wrecked, and there was a ruassacro of men- Engineer Tunstall was found dead under his engine, and his fireman. Will Taylor, a white man, was also killed, John Smyers, engineer of thcjfreight,was killed, and J. S. Beaucock, the flagman, a white man, had an arm and kg broken. Eu. Foster the colored tjfcun hand lost both eyes. Will Poo. $"hitc, fireman on the freight engine, hurt his shoul der and side by falling. He Stoic a Parrot. Several days ago a "thief entered the house of Dr. D.

The error of liis preference was soon made manifest to him when the burglar reached the street, for the parrot set up vociferous cries of "JStop thief:" and whistled up all the dogs in the neighborhood.?;.Thc thief stood it as long as there seemed the faintest show of escaping in spite of it, but at last, as men, boys and dogs clgsed around him, he threw down the cage and nimbly sped away. JL>amei Shaughnessy was subsequently arrested by the police. "When the trial comes off in a few clays the police will introduce the parrot as the main prosecuting witness. The arrested man, who was at first indifferent, has been aroused to employ a lawyer, and declares that he will cheerfully face judge, jury and police, but never the tell-tale bird. A. Snake on a Trestle. Holland, Tex., June IS.?Bud Brown, who resides a short distance north of this place, had an exciting OTtvinrmrifto fnw mr/vmncrc: ncn wif.'V fi. huge serpent. Bud. it appears, was on his way home along the Missouri, Kansas and Texas track, from this burg, and he had just reached a point about one and a half miles north of Holland, when he heard a queer bellowing sound, similar to that made by alligators in the dead of night. He looked behind liim and sure enough, saw a sight that for tho time being rooted him to the earth. About 100 yards in the rear he could plainly discern a snake cf monstrous size. The reptile approached him at a rapid rate, coming so close to liim, in fact, that Bud, with a shriek of tenor, jumped from a high trestle, landing in soft sand below, escaping fortunately, with only a sprained ankle. Luckily for Bud, some cattle were grazing along the track, which the big snake at once attacked, making away in a jiffy with a calf and disappearing in the timber. Bud, who is a worthy citizen and temperate j withal, estimates the length of the snake at 42 feet, with a body as thick as a telephone pole. JbLo also avers tnat tne monster was adorned with two formidable frangs. and. in addition, was cqvinped with lioms about a foot and a half in length. mm? : mm ? She Spa iikcd Her Debtor.

Miss Anderson was driven from the house of her stepfather, Dr. Griflin, to the church in a close carriage.
