BARNWELL FUGITIVE CAUGHT? S
Escaped Convict Probably Captured Ge
in St. Paul.
Barnwell, Feb. 28.?Sheriff J. B. <
Morris received a telegram to-day ide
from Acting Chief of Police M. J. kil
Flannagan, of St. Paul, Minn., saying nei
that Elliott Gardner, alias Walter lyr
Peters, had been arrested there and a
that he answered the description ne;
furnished by Chief Lynch, of South po]
Bethlehem, Pa. The negro, how- dn
ever, denies that his name is Gard- Ch
ner, so a photograph has been mailed
Sheriff Morris, and if the negro is thi
the one wanted here a deputy will be we
dispatched for him at once. Gil
Gardner, or Peters, was convicted th<
here about five years ago for burn- am
ing the gin house of J. L. Ellis, at ins
Baldoc, and was sentenced to ten cai
years at nara iaDor on me cnaiu
gang. After serving about one year ize
he escaped and has been at large blc

Queer Checks. m0
There is a bank clerk in a western pos
city who ha6 for years indulged in a
' hobby of collecting bank checks
drawn on queer articles. There
hangs about this clerk's desk a torn Qu
linen collar, a piece of lath, a cuff and
various other objects used for the
purpose of drawing money from the
hank. lat
Each of these has a story. The er\
clerk began his collection with a illr
piece of lath. This was honored by net
the bank for $250. It was made into bul
a check by the owner of a sawmill, lie
who, with his son, was at the plant in
with no checkbook. The money was er.'
needed to pay the hands. The saw- <
mill man wrote on the lath just what wh

and sent his son to the bank to get all
the money and explain. The lath phi
check was honored after some dis- ski
cussion among the bank officers. The wit
cuff was drawn by an actor, who ]
while intoxicated, had engaged in ble
fisticuffs with a fellow Thespian and for
had been arrested. He was treated in
cavalierly in his cell. As he could Ru
obtain no paper, he bribed a boy to wit
take the cuff check to a bank. In is (
due course the player received his not
money and paid his fine. If one car- qU<

Penitentiary for Women. ^
The Illinois Women's Democratic off
league began a movement on Sunday
l'or the establishment in Illinois of a pa
separate penitentiary for women, em
The institution as proposed wouid be sel
entirely governed by women and Th
would be separated entirely from the is
other State prisons. A part of the
plan is to have women employed as kit
guards, attendants and in all other pr<
positions. ins
A bill has already been passed by wa

for the establishment of a new State

promised members of the league that su
the matter will be held in abeyance ne

There is one very strange point
?ut this malady. It is handed down
the female line, yet only occurs in

tin is said to be affected by it, and
are several other lesser royalties.

The king of Spain, who was a most

Many people imagine that the

ult is that the arm is some four

Fhe only trace of trouble about the

FORTUNE IN WASTE PAPER.
A Fifty Thousand Dollar Find of Old
Stamps in Philadelpliia.
The philatelic world, dealers and
collectors alike, has not yet got over
the excitement caused by the wonderful
find of a lot of St. Louis postmaster
stamps among a lot of old
correspondence sold to Edward D.
Hemingway as waste paper by a
Philadelphia business house. Previous
to the first government issue of
stamps in 184 7 enterprising postmasters
of various cities and towns were
permitted to print and sell stamps of
their own. The use of one of these
stamps by the writer of a letter insured
the delivery of it to the address
by an employee of the postmaster of
the place to which the missive was
sent. To collectors these are known
as postmaster stamps. Some are envelope
stamps, others adhesive. There
are great rarities among them, such
" - v^-nr Uovon the ATillhnrv.
a& LUC iiU T OAi , ^ W7
Mass, and the St. Louis. The last
named is known as the bear stamps,
because the design consists of two
bears standing. The St. Louis denominations
are 5, 10 and 20 cents.
A few years ago a large number of
the fives and tens were found in St.
Louis and the value of these two denominations
was thereby greatly reduced,
as the price of a stamp depends
on its rarity. The 20-cent denomination,
however, continued to be
extremely rare, and a good specimen
was valued at $1,500. To-day it
is not worth more than from $200 to
$300, and the find in Philadelphia is
responsible for this slump in the
market value.
The story, as told by Jno. A. Klemann,
a stamp dealer, of this city, is
interesting. Some time ago he heard
rumors that a number of St. Louis
postmaster stamps had turned up unexpectedly
in Philadelphia, and he at
once went there to investigate. He
learned that the aggregate value of
the find was about $50,000.
The letters, he was informed, were
all addressed to an old Philadelphia
firm, Chanlev'& Whelen. He could not
^ * ? -L _ J ? i. ^
find this firm's name in an uy-iuuait;
directory of that city, so he got hold
of a directory of 1845 and there came
across what he sought. In a directory
of ten years later he found that
Chanley had retired from business,
but that Whelan was still conducting
it. Further investigation showed
that the house is now known as
Townsend & Whelan.
Such a lot of waste paper had accumulated
that this firm called in
Hemingway and sold him a great lot
of it at junk rates. Hemingway, in
working it over, discovered that
many of the letters had strange
stamps upon them. He took a few
specimens to a stamp dealer, who
bought several which had on them
the government stamp of 1847. One,
which bore* a St. Louis postmaster
stamp, he said he would keep or appraise,
not being certain of its genuineness.
Later on Hemingway met
a friend, Sartori, who is a stamp collector,
and told him what he had'
done. Sartori advised him to hurry
back to the stamp dealer and reclaim
the St. Louis specimen. This was
done.
Since then the mass of waste paper
has been more thoroughly gone over,
and, besides many of the old stamps, J
there have been found six of the St.
Louis 5-cent issue, 68 of the St.
Louis 10-cent and 20 of the 20-cent
issue. When the stamp dealers, who
had been holding on to their 20-cent
St. Louis specimens in order to get
top prices for them, heard this discomforting
news they were more or
less panic stricken and threw their
specimens on the market so as to
- ^ w * ? >-> V? o r? nnoooihlo f r* r* fViom
(JULctlli <tS ill U ^ 11 do l/uijaoiuiv AVI wviu
before the news of the discovery became
public property and collectors
were made wary.
The price of the St. Louis stamps
has been further affected by the recent
find of a dealer in medical appliances
in that city by the name of
Schleiffert, one of whose aged customers
presented him with a lot of
these stamps, which were on old letters
addressed to him. In consequence
of the Schleiffert and Hemingway
finds the market price of the 10cent
St. Louis has dropped from
$200 to about $40. If these discoveries
keep on occurring the St. Louis
may ere long be selling at the same
rate as the more common postmaster
issues of other cities.?N. Y. Sun.
