A SWINDLER CAPTURED.
He lias Nearly 10,000 of Forced
Postal
money iracra.
A scamp, calling himself A. B. Celes,
who has been swindling the government
by means of forged posteffice orders, came
te nt in Alteena yesterday. On Wed-
ncsaay evening the iestinastcr of East
Liverpool, Ohie, arrived in that city in
pursuit of the sharper, who was operating
en postefllcc8 along the line of the rail
road Dy means of forged money
orders, l'lie postmaster at Alteena
was warned, and se when a well-dressed
stranger appeared at the office yesterday
morning and presented orders te the
amount of three hundred dollars, purport
ing te be issued by the East Liverpool
office te the order of A. B. Celes, an officer
was called and the sharper was token into
custody. When searched blank money
orders te the amount of $0,1(00 were found
in his possesien, with a complete assort
ment of posteffice blanks and cnvclejics,
properly htamcd. It was learned that
he had stepped at all the principal points
Itetwccn Alteena and Pittsburgh. At
Johnstown he obtained $300 en forged
orders, and deposited that amount
and took an order en West Ches
ter. On his person was found a schedule
showing that he had intended te operate
at all the leading points between Alteena
and Marysville. He had evidently de
posited nearly all the money he obtained,
as he had only seventy live dollars in
meney.but had receipts for registered let
ters addressed te himself and sent from
Blairsville te Bosten ami from New
Florence te New Yeik city. Celes is
about 35 years of asm and of geed appear
ance. He made a ilesjicrate attempt te
escape last evening, Jiy jumping out of a
second story window of the mayor's office
but was recaptured.
Postmaster Marshall, of this city, seeing
in the morning papers an account of Celes'
transactions, recollected that he had re
ceived several postal orders signed by
Celes and made payable te himself in this
city. The postmaster at once made a care
ful examination of the forged orders of
which there arc six for $50 each. They are
very well executed, and Celes would prob
ably have been paid the $300 had he pit:
seuted himself here. On comparing the
forged orders with a genuine one it is seen
that the red ink is net of exactly the
proper shade. There is also a typo
graphical error in the printed
part of the order, the word "or" being
doubled, occurring both before and within
the parenthesis There is alie a full point
at one place in the forged order where a
colon is used in the genuine.
Postmaster MarshaH has notified the
department of his detection of the forgery,
the postal authorities at Alteena appar
ently lieing of the opinion that the blanks
captured were stelen government origi
nals. Frem an Alteena paper we learn that
thebegusj money Jeiilers found en Celes'
baggage were drawn en a whole line of
offices from Alteena up into New Kng
lar.d and including six for $50 each en
Middletown, Mt. Jey, Lancaster, Parkes
burg, Ceatcsville and IJryii Mavvr. He
had letters prepared te be sent te all these
iestniasters asking them te cash the
orders and send the proceeds in large bills
by registered letters te Celes at New
Haven. Conn. He get his $300 at Johns
town and the postmaster at Florence only
escaped by net having that much en
hand.
Excelsior Club Ball.
The Excelsior club, composed of colored
men, gave a ball last night at ItetliweilerV
hall, which was largely attended by men
and women of all colors and conditions.
A large majority of the ladies were colored
and they behaved themselves very credit
ably. Net a few of them were decidedly
geed looking, dressed elegantly and danced
gracefully. Ainajeiity of the men were
white and among them were many leading
Republican politicians. As it was under
stood that the ball had been given
with a view of gathering together the pol
iticians and esjccially the candidates, se
that the colored voters might meet tliein,
compare them and decide upon their rela
tive claims te colored support, these gen
tlemen were assiduous in their attentions
te the men and danced and waltzed vigor
ously with the women. Beth factions were
represented and It is net for us te piedict
which side made the deeper imprcsien
upon te American citizen of African de
scent. Towards the close of the festivities
there was little quarreling among the
mekes who had imbibed tee freely of beer,
but there were no arrests.
The State Centennial Itulldiug.
Mr. Gingrich, a member of the Pennsyl
vania Legislature who was appointed te
sell the state building en the Centennial
grounds, says :
' There is a matter connected with this
building that needs investigating. The
state appropriated $40,000 for the erection
of this building, and net mere than $2-1,-000
of this sum can be accounted for by
the building aud furniture. The contract
price for its erection was only $10,700. The
balance of the money has never been re
turned te the state treasury, and I intend
te make au examination of the records in
the auditor general's office te see if the
balance of the money was drawn te the
account of the managers or was transfer
red te some ether object."

nvmbered 2,253, new 5,489. The comma
nicants in 1831 numbered 183,000, new
they number 578.000. thus showing that
this old church is going forward rapidly.
He continued at some length, making
comparison between the church at that
time and the present.
