— LAND SWINDLE A MAGHIFICENT An Imaginary City in West Virginia Sold Out in Lots by a New York Myth—Five Mil- Yion Dollars’ Worth of Real Estate in This and Other Cities Offered at One Dollar a Chance. ‘Tis city 1s proverblally the seat of the greatest number and the greatest swindiers of the country. All sorts of schemes for extorting money from the unwary are concocted here. Many of these have been heretofore exposed in the columns of the daily papers, out one of the most stupendous frauds ever known has escaped detection up to this time. It is @ land scheme, or @ brace of schemes, whereby one in- ventive genius here, named T. 1. Studifofd mas realized a large fortune within a few months, And the way he dia it was this:— Taking advantage of the interest awakened among the working people thronghout the country on the subjects of coolle importation, co-operation, laid monopolies and local colonization and kindred topics, this man Studiford arvertlset him- self very extensively im the country papers east, west, north and south, a3 the owner of @ beautiful tract of land in and surrounding the charming “City of Virginia,” iu Cabell county, Slate of West Vaasinia. ‘Ths tand he had divided into bullding lots, which were selling like hot cakes in winter at prices varying from $159 to $500 per lot, according to location, Of course everybody wanted a lot anda homestead in such a delightful locality. Maps and circulars setting forth the physica! and eathetival attractions of the place were liberally distributed, aud for a while Mr, Studfford dia a rushing business, Each lucky purchaser of a Jot 25x100 feet at once despatched his deed to the €abell county clerk's office, in the town of Barboursyilie, to have the same duly recorded, But then came the surprise and the exposure of the swindle, According to the manifesto of Mr. ©, W. Burnett, County Clerk, there exists no such town, Village or city in Qabeil councy, nor in any other county m West Virginia, as the “city of Vir- ginia,” and no such man as T. T. Stadiford, of New York, owns a foot of land in the State, And, be- eldes, no such name as his appears in the New York eiy Directory. ‘This was a terrible set back to the poor men who had #0 confiliagly patd out their money for imagi- nary lots inan equally imaginary city.” The deeds were made out in legal form, witnessed before Jonn A. Ulllery, nomry puotic of the elty and county of New York, whose place of business is at 50 Wall wireot, and by him duly seaie y were also stamped, each with a fifty ceut revenue stamp, ant were thus transmitted, as Mr. Burnett declared, 1m immense numbers to M13 Oflce, but the dupes found oat In ume how badly ihey had been fleoced. t as th ved that Stadiford has, by this swindle, realized between $310,000 and $500,000, and perhaps Biuch more, ‘The otucr land scheme surpasses the above in pre- tenston aud promise of ultimate gain, but carries on its face the marks of deception, ft is a lottery seheme, shart essrs.

Of the esuite prizes there are eleven residences on Fifth avenue, valued at $40,000 each; jourteen on the same avenue, worth $25,000 each; ten on Twenty- fourth street, worth $15,000 each; twenty-four on Forty-second atrect, Worth $10,000 each, and the fume number, of equal vulne, on Forty-ffth street. ‘The sum total of these prizes 13 $1,460,000, any one of which can be bad by & chance with only one dol- Jar, Besides these there are also offered 114 resi- aences in the city of Boston, Mass., valued at from 35,060 to $15,000 each, and worth in the aggregate 36+4,000, There are also eight y-elght houses in Pitts- burg, Pa., valued at $524,000; twenty-four dwellings 4n Baltumore, Md., worth $450,000; forty in Cincinnau, valued at ¢870,000; seventy-six in St, Louis, Mo., estimated at $82,000, and only three In Chicago—tie elty from whenee the precious crowd hatis—vatued $100,000, ‘Lhe total value of prizes oilevea is, therefore, $5,169,000.

Two of the other prisoners were desperate characters, but owing to the former publications in the HERALD of the doings of the Court of Pardons strict secrecy Was enjoined in this case lest the people of New Jersey might become alarmed at the restoration to jiverty of notorions thieves and cutthroats. ‘two of the Siate Prison officials, who feel tial their term of oiice 13 drawing to H close, treated a gentieman yesterday whom they suspected of conveying information on the matter with incivility amounting almost to insult. The great secret of these transactions ts to bo Jound in the political pressure brought to bear upon the officers of the State Prison. An appltcation 1s made for the pardon of a certain prisouer, and the recommendation of the keeper or his deputies is re- Letieee as paramount by the Court of Pardons. ‘avorable recommendations have becn given to the most obstinate malefactors, aud this fact proves that a legislative Iuquiry 18 imperatively demanded into the working of thé system.
