DLCEMBRR. 29, 1883, ., ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS. i Soized On Susploton, Yesterday morning the police received instructions to look out for and arrest a young man named James Fox, who had absconded from Jersey City with several packages of money belonging to the Ex- press company. Officer Hayes, in his rounds, found a young man at the Ogden house, who answered very closely the photograph of the man who was wanted, and invited him to step down to police headquarters. The young fellow com- plied, and there a more thorough investi- gation was made. The description of Fox fitted him in almost every partioular, About the same age, height, and com- plexion, he had also a scar on his right leg just below the knee just as Fox had. There were dots of red and green on his clothes, also an- swering the desoription of Fox. This, with the similarity of face to that of the photograph, caused the ofticers to hold him until he could be further investigat- od. The young fellow who is thus held claims to be named Cannon, and that his home is in Jowa City. He was yester- day recognized by that name at police headquarters by a young man who formerly lived in Iowa Cit{. but who is now a resident of Council Bluffs, and the manner and actions of the young man, and his readiness to have the fullest and froest investigation, indicate on the other hand that it is a case of mistaken identi- ty. He gives an account of himself, as being a bartender, and as having worked in Dubuque until a few weeks ago, but that he has not been out of the state since, and was here looking for work. Hoe urges the officers to telegraph and find out the correctness of his statement as to who he is and where he has been, and has convinced most of the officers that he is not the man wanted, while others are in doubt, If he is not the man it is & most striking case, illustrat- ing the ease of making mistakes in iden- tity. o — Gallant Rescues, There can be something heroic in a medi. cine as well as in individuals, Burdock Blood Bitters have effected tany & gallant rescue among the suffering sick.

P. Brownlow, of Tennessee. It is said he is guilty of the most base type of nepotism, and that he has carried on pay-rolls fictitious names, for which he drew salaries and pocketes them; that he kept on the pay-rolls the name of his partner in a paper-mill in Tennessee, and that his partner not only never performed any service as an em- loye of the house, but was never in ‘ashington. Brownlow representa- tive southern republican, and was elected doorkeeper of the forty-seventh congress under the erroneous impression that he was a son of the late Parson Brownlow. To learn the facts of the alleged crooked- ness I to-day called at Doorkeeper Win- teramith's oftice and asked his clerk about the matter. said Mr. Fay, who is clerk, ‘‘that you have re- ference to the charge that ex-Doorkeeper Brownlow carried his wife on the rolls as clerk to the doorkeeper!” “Yes; is it true!” I replied, . ““Hereiathe book, You see there is C. A, Brownlow." Yo" ““Well, that is his wife's name. She received * §400 per month as his clerk during the vacation. When congress was in _session, and anything had to be done, he would drop her, and puton a man who is now a c‘erk in the treasury department. He did not drop her from the roll when congress met this time, however. You will observe it is here for December—this month.” *‘Now, about his carrying his boy on the roll at 81,200 per annum?” “‘That is true also. See (pointing to the name of Henry 0. Brownlow, page, at $100 per month), that is his boy. He is about 11 years old, I understand, and did some work as page and some work folding speeches in the folding-room. He dropped him from the $1,200 roll this month and put him on the $900 roll.” ¢‘Is that all?” I inqulred. “No, sir. He had his brother-in-law on theroll at 900, but I understand he did good and faithful service." “Ia that all?” “No. Here is worse &nt. See this name, Laura Mitchell! ell, she is his sister-in-law.

Rory Davis told a member of congress that he only reccived 860 per month during the time he was on the $1,200 roll.” —— e The Champion Jack-Knife Artist.

The whittler is a small man, with keen eyes ani ready tongue, and about thirty.six yoars of age. In the course of an hour's conversation with a roporter he said in substance: *‘I didn't know that 1 was anything oxtra of a whittler until about 1869, when in a small way I made some models. 1 was in Texas working at mill- wrighting. The first large piece I ever o was a model of a Bermuda castle. Aftorward I made Balmoral Castle, Bingen Castle, Miramar Castle, the steamer Bristol, Solomon’s Temple and the Toxas state Capitol at Austin, Sol- omon's Temple contained 12,208 pieces and had 1369 windows. It is now on exhibition in Texas. The Austin Capitol building has 62,844 pieces and 561 mov- ing people. Every room and department in the building was given, with all the officers and legislators. Everybody was represented, down to the man sawing wood in the basement for the furnaces. All the figures were moved by a wooden engine, which was run by sand falling on an overshot wheel.

The officer instinctively laid his hand on the butt of his self-cocking revolver and drew back. “‘Well, then, listen and see if my heart d | thumps—look me in the face and see if I am pale,” continued the stranger, “What sort of a circus is this?” growled the officer as he jingled his hand- cuffs, ‘‘There you go—there it is again!

Iam lifted into the street in front of a No. 10 boot and in the presence of 750 specta- tors, but Iam calm—grimly calm, Not a hair rises on end—not a flutter under the left arm.” ““That's good; go on,” encouraged the oftices. . ““I seloct my bank from the dozen in the city, and draw a sight draft on my brother in Indianapolis.
