Made to Ante Up Somewhat of a splash in the sable waters of colored npper-tendoni' was caused last Monday night by the arrest of E J Aoston, a ci-devant Harry Lchr of the dark town "four handled." For several years the said Aoston conducted a harber shop and bicycle repair establishment 111 town and in due course of time he came to be custodian of the finances of the loc.nl colored lodge of Odd Fellows, of which lie was a trusted official. Some months ago he folded his tent and hied him away to So ciety Hill, when it transpired that about $80 belonging to the ledge had disappeared "with hiin. After some correspondence 011 the subject he was induced to return here and give the matter his personal attention. Accordingly he arrived Monday night 0:1 train "39", and as he stepped on the station platform Shetiif Graham took him in charge and escorted him around to the jail* where he remained oyer night. After a night's meditation he coughed up a part of the amount he was shy and managed f? borrow the balance, when he was released and went his way rejoicing. ?&e and StAmand represented the prosecution and Hirsch and Ilirsch looked after the I1IIC11.010 UJ NIC UliLUlUllH.

Lntest Victims, Butter, Fruit and Vegetable, Fish and Oyster Shippers. I - ? 7 I (From I lie J\ew lurk 1'iteker.) Phi la PKi.i'Hi a, Aug. 1.?U 0 Holloway, whoso tarry deal in South Carolina was aired l>y The P;iokor a war ago while lie was operating tindor the name of .1 J) Fleming & Co., of this city, and who last Match! ojK'tietl in his own name at fto. 1 Vine Sr., this city, is in very urgentj demand by a lot of shippers. Hoi-! loway cannot be found. lie left I Philadelphia some time ago. There is no telling how much Holloway owes ctvameiymeii, oyoter men, lishcrmen ami fruit and produce shippers in the countiy. A Philadelphiau who aceidently came in contact with some of Ilolloway'si * ' i-- il. .. . .4. 4 i i ntismess uwiimijs ??i i mi- [mm. iuiixmouths said that he thought Holloway oil with close 011 io $10,000. bo far ;is The Hacker can learn at. present there are 3 warrants out for his arrest. Several shippers swear that it they ever get sii^ht of Hollo way they will spend a good deal more than then accounts amount to in an endeavor to put hitn in jail. The Still Pond crca nerv of Still Pond, Md., is one of ilolloway's creditors. This linn sent Holloway 004 His of butter, which amounted to $9(1.03. Ilollowav paid for the butter in a check of $53.01, which check was protested. J N Bennett, proprietor of the Still Pond creamery, went to Philadelphia to look for Holloway. There was no one in the office but a stenographer, who said that Holloway hlld gone up in Maine to catch lobsters. This may have lieeu intended for a joke, but Mr Bennett could not see it that way. In Th* Packer of May 24, 1902, the Lake City, S. C., deal which Hollowuy worked on strawberry shippers in the name of J D Fleming A Co., was exposed. Hollowuy made contracts with a number ot shippers at that point to handle their berries. He got all the fruit he could, paying in checks. When it was time to get out he notified his bank at Camden, N. J , to stop payments on all checks out, which wai doue. Dr A II Williams afterwards came to Philadelphia in the interest of the growers. He succeeded in getting a partial settlement on several claims with Holloway's promise that he would pay the remainder just as soon as he got the money. Some time after that when Holloway was in the South it is said he was arrested by his Lake City creditors. They, however, could not take him into South Carolina without a requisition and while the officer was on his way to get the necessary papers signed Hollo way escaped in some mysterious and unacouutable way.
