G. CONRAD, TILE LAST 4TEP IN A DANKEW'S CAREER, A brief payagruph fu SBunday's 'Tiisuse an- nounced that amao glving his nume as Jacob Gitibs Conrad had becn sontenced to Sing Bing for four years for swindliug the Rev. J. A, Bd- wards, pastor of the Asbury M. E. Church, In New York City J. G. Conrad will be remembered by nearly all of our old resldents ns an excecdingly shaky fndividual, whora it was not safe to trust under any circumstances. Hlis record, though full of ups and downs, 18 ono of inbred constitutional dlshonesty, and the mavner {n which ho pursucd his confidence operations elevated tho art of swindling tos science. Provious to the breaking out of the Wur ke . 1 Waa s salesman or bookkeepor with A. D. Tite worth & Co., who at that time had a lar clothing establishment on Lake street, opposite Potter Palmer’s old dry-goods store. After ho bad been with the firm a few months, they be- came amrlclnm that his Integrity wns nllfmly oblfque, but thought that 1t might be indnced to retnrn to a perpendicular by a atight watch- fng, provided he were caured to belleva that he was the subject of n vigorous csplonage. A few months afterwards certaln little irregularitics were dlscovered, and lig was then Informed that hfs scrvices were mo longer required. 8o ho stepped down and ottty and beeamo an assldious attondaut_on the Wabash Aventto Methodist Church, Te prayed tong and loud, and acted tho part of Tartufle to perfection. About the time that the Rehels began tho ‘War by firing on Fort Sumter, Conrad succeed- ed n borrowini 83,500, to which e added his savings and peculations, and EMTIARKED IN TR BANKING DUBINESS, locating hie cstablishment on Clark atreet, near Loke. He still kept up bis relotlons with_ tho Church, and cventually suceceded In moking himself go solid with the Deacons and the con- gregation that he was clected Church Treasurer, and intrusted with all jts fiscal business. Ho was regarded as an exemplary and rising {(mm business man, who would eventunlly mnke his mark in‘the world, When stump-tail and wild- cat curreney became the clrenlating medivm, after thosuspensioun of the New York Clty banks, e found an almost {ilnitable field for the ex- ercisc of his finaucial talent. He did n rushing busiuess in the buying and sciling of itscol- lancous currency. “Meanwhile the metnbers of tho Wabash Avenue Church placed implicit con- fidenca in the rosy statements of thelr Treasur- er, opened accounts with him, and fllled his coffers with deposits. o refused to go into the discount line to any extent, and tuok uncon- cenled plensure in ocensionally showing the more prominent of his chureh brethern that bis disconnt linc was made up entlrely of the very best commerelal paper, protected by undoubted collaterals, ‘I'he business - of the Conrad bank waxed fat, The recelving teller was buslly en- gaged in taking In deposiis, while Mr. Conrad wns putting up a job whereby he should take in ihe depositors. “ And the” time when that catnstrophe should oceur was not far distant. Conrad went into SPECULATING 1N BTOCKS LN WALY STREET. | Ho handled huge blucks of ‘the *fancy stocks " of those days—Fort Wayne and Hat- lem. Qceaslonally he would make a winning, but as n rule the market went back on hitn, ane thomoney uf his depositors disappeared Jiko snow before thy summer suu, Latein October, 1804, he was obliged to shut up shop, nfter hay- ing the day hefore sold over $150,000 of worth~ lcss drnfts on New York, for which he had re- ceived the currency. An examinatfon of his aflairs by the ‘Assignea to whom he turncd over the hooks resulted fn showing that his labilities wero $334,074 and Iis aescts $122,177. Tho dif- ference between these Lo sums and about one- half the asscts proved a total loss to the depost- 5. Immediately following the closing of his Dank, Conrad dleappenred from the gazo of his victims. 1l wns 1ot heard of for somo months, when lie mado his appearance around the New York Gold-Ttoom, There ho operated quite ex- tensively—sometimes ahead, and sometimes, thourh generally, not. Flnnily he got Vlnycd out in New York, and along fu 1809 or 1889 ha RETURNED TO CILICAGO, ond abtalned a_situatlon as boolkeeper with Dunlop, 8cwell & flv:ldluz. thou a large sta- tlonery firm. With them he remained for about n year, when he accepted s situation as solicitor for the Equitable Life-Insurance Com- pany. Telnz o good talker, he was quito successful in persuading nca;fln that Iife insurance was a rellzious duty incumbent on every man who was the head ‘of a family, or who contemplated achieving that happy con- summatfon. For the Equjtable he sccired a large amount of new and valuable business; and bis old {friends rojoiccd to ece hilm once morc on the road to proaperity. In 1870 he was offered the monagement of ‘the Western de- partment of the Unlversal Life-nsurance Com- pany. s earrcer with this Company was a ixed one. e sceured plenty of husfness for it, but his manner of couducting the fnances under his control cxelted tho suspicions of the head office, and the President was forced to make a visit to this city. An investigation wns ordered, and It resultcd in the discovery of A OREAT DEXL OF CROOKEDNESS, his nccounts befnyy short to a large amount. The P'resident of the Company assumed the fn- debtedness and took a mortgage on the Conrad homestead, ot Riverslde, to proteet lumself, and the ex-banker's connectlon with 1ife {nsur- ance was severed in early spring of 18i2, For n cottple of years or so he hung around the eity, borrawing and ugunzln{: an_ il hls (cfends niid acquaiutances. When he could no longer bor- row, hs developed an_Ingenlous nlan for shin- ning rlong on forged checks for small amounts. He was perpetually drawing on Peter to pay Paul, In almost every Instanee drawing n little more on e former than the latter, nsiug the difference to defrny hls actual expenscs. One of his lust n#plnlls in this line was to gwin- dle Frank Wentworth out of §35 on n forzed check. Frank, who had on seversl ace caslons befriended him, becamo thoroughly dis- gusted, and took measures to hnve him urrested and indicted, Conrad got word ot the impend ing dunger, and made a hurried visit to’ Now York, where for the last ofzhteen months hie hns been fiving on the proceeda of the religlous con- fidenco-game. What he did with the vesults of his peculations and petty swindiing schemnes hls most intimate fricnds never could learn. o was not adicted to fntemoerance, and it was not kuown positively thet he had any entangling al- Hances, though It 13 shrewdly stspeeted that ot one time ho foved well_but nat wisely n charm- fuz Irunctte who lived on Wabash avenue, uear the Club-House, provious to the July (ire. He is now “sottled,” nnd for the next four years will undoubteidly domore honest work than ever Tie diid fu hls whole life. TI1E COURTS. THE LAMAR INSURANCE COMPANY.

A LITTLE DOUBTIFUL. DROWNED WHILE FLYING FROX THIEVES. Timo anil agnin has the fact been mentioned that vesscls at this port are continually invaded hy rivor-thioves, who carry oft overything they can lay thelr handa on. At numberless times the polieo nuthoritfes have beon Importuned to afford eome kind of protection during the night to tho many vossels continually Ily- ing at the lumber market and vicinity. But all thesc appeals hiave gone unheeded, and the dopredations became moro numerous every day, until st last they have now culminated in townright murder, It tho statements of those interested can bo bolloved, The schooner E, M. Porteh, which has been Iying opposite the Tum- ber market with o cargo of wood for the lst few days, haa been entered nearly every night since #he came hero by some river-thicves, who carried oft whatever they could find, Two of the deck- hands, Mcasrs, Peter Christopher aud Henry Qunderson, decidad Mouday night to atay on the veasel and sce whether they could not cateh the thicves, Suro enough, about half-past 10 o'clock that night they were awakened from thelr slumbers by o nofse, and thicy soon becamo awaro that several of tho thieves wera in the cabin. Ono of the watchmen asked the intruders what they wanted, aud they sald they were deck-hands from & tug. A fight en- sued, {n which the tvo watchmen werodriven on deck, and finally, to escape from thelr pursuers, jumgcd into the river and tried to swim ashore, Whilo awlmmlng they shouted for hetp, and the cry was heard by the Captala of the schoon- er Emeline and somo_others, who hastened to the scene. One of the men, Mr, Guuderson, was pulled out of thie water safely, but the other sank before nssfstance conld be' rendored him and drowned. The body of the drowncd man was found in the ofternoon and takon to the Morgue, ‘The above {a the yersion of the affair as given by the man who was saved, and the Captain of the vessel snys thmt his statement descrves credence, aa lia 18 a reliable map, who hins been in his employ for the Inst three ycars, There are, however, some vessel men who discredit the story for soveral reasons. In the first place, theso river-thioves aro usual- ly very cowardly, and run when de- tected. “They have never been Xnown to make a fight. Thon ft looks rather queer that the twomen should undress and go to hed, when wntchlng for thioves, without hn\'lnszu much a8 n stick wherewith to defend themeelves ia casa of attack. The man slso contradicts himeelf as regards the number of thieves who bonrded the vessel. To some he stated there were three, to others flve, and _to others six. It is clalmed by the Captain of tho vessel that the thicves carried off the clothes of the drowned man, which were after- wards found {n tho barn at Avery's dock. But the men who heard the cries of “the distressed enflors were on that very dock, and they saw nothing of the thioves. "The Coroncr's Investi- Etwn, to bo held to-day, will undoubtedly row additional Jight upon this affair.
