2 evt Yoke, Aug 13. The Hon. "William
D. Harden, Presiding Justice of the City
Court of Savannah, Ga.,to-day applied to Jus
tice O'Keilly for a warrant for the arrest of
Abraham Backer, the dealer in commercial
paper at 285 Broadway, who failed recently
for 4,000,000. The affidavit charges Backer
with grand larceny in the first degree.
Judge Harden told Justice O'Keilly that
Mr. Backer had made away with debenture
bonds of the Central Ilailroad and Banking
Company of Georgia, valued at 59,700, and
certificates of the Savannah Galight Com
pany, valued at 52,250, which belonged to
him. The Justice Uf-ued the warrant and it
was placed in the hands of Detective O'Con
nor, of the court squad, to serve. The
detective arrested Mr. Backer at his home
and arraigned him before Justice O'Heilly.
According to Judge Harden affidavit, on
March 14, 1M0, he delivered to Backer a
iromis)ry note. The Judge says he sent a
letter to Mr. Backer, asking the latter, in
the capacity of broker, to get the note dis
counted aud forward the proceeds to him.
Mr. Backer wrote back, demanding collat
eral security for the pavinent of the note at
maturity. Judge Hard"en ofl'ered the Cen

the larceny of, a security.

RENEWAL OP THE NOTE.
When the note became due on October 6
Judge Harden asked for and got a renewal
of four months. The last renewal came due
on August 12 lat. On July 8 Judge Har
den wrote to Barker about "again renewing
the note, and received his in reply:
Mr. W. D. Harden:
In reply to your letter of the 8th I can say
that if you will pay me on account ofn-our
noto for $10,000. duo August 12, 1S91, $2,000, I
think I will be able to renew $S,O0O tor 90
trays on tho same terms as before, you to
leave the same securities as collateral' that I
now hold. A. Backer,
D. J. Suxlivax.
Before the arrangement proposed in the
above letter could be consummated, Backer
made an assignment for the benefit of his
creditors. Xoir Judge Harden says he has
learned from D. J- Sullivan, who was Back
er confidential clerk, and from the Na
tional Park Bank, of this city, that Backer
did not use the debentures of the Central
Ilailroad of Georgia, nor the stock of the
Savannah Gas Light Company, for the pur
pose of procuring the discount of his note,
or for securing renewals, but that he got the
note discounted and renewed by the isa
tional Park Bank on the strength of the
maker'6 good name and reputation, without
depositing with the bank any of the collat
erals which were given to him upon agree
ment that they should be held and used as
security for.the payment of the note only.

the measure Near the closo of this memor
able contest some of tho parties Interested
in the measure undertook to procuro tho
fow votC3 necessary to secure Its passage by
bribery. The attempt was detected and ex
posed and an investigation ordered, of
which Mr. Wolfo became the leading spirit.
The investigation revealed the fact that
more than 20 members had been corruptly
approached In the interests of the bill.
The commlttoe's report recommended the
expulsion of four members, but as this re
quired a two-thirds vote the recommenda
tion was not adopted. It was then decided
to prosccuto the bribers in the court b of
Dauphin county, and a committee of 11
members of the IIouso, including Mr. Wolfe,
was appointed to take charge of the prosecu
tion. Mr. Wolfe was re-eleotod to the IIouso In

THE DEAD MAN'S CAREER.
PROMINENT IN STATE POLITICS AT AX
EARLY AGE.
Judge Harden further says ic his affidavit
that Backer "did fraudulently and felon
iously nnd with intent to deprive me of the
right to the ownership in the securities, as
sign aud transfer the securities and the cer
tificates of stock representing th- same to
the Merchants.' National Bank of New
York, upon a loan procured by Backer from
that baiik for his own use and for the sole
1cncfit of himself."
Justice O'Reilly fixed bail at 515,000 and
examination was set down for Saturday.
Backer was supposed to be prosperous, arid
when, on August 3, he made an assignment
without preference to Beniamin P. Ein
stein, of the law firm of Townsend, Dyett &,
j.jjisieiii, ii causeu consiueraD'e talfc lown
town. His liabilities, direct and contin
gent, were reported to be 54,000,000. Be
tides being a neavy dealer in commercial
paper, he was the capitalist of the firm of
A. Backer & Co., commission merchants.
He also had a mill at Glastonbury, and
manufactured goods there.
THE CAEEE1C OF HACKEE.
Backer had been a merchant in the South
for many years, and came to New York
about 27 years ago. His original business
in the South was in groceries and liquors.
Then he got into the cotton business, later
into cotton goods, and then into commer
cial paper. His large connections in the
South enabled him to handle a great deal of
jvapcr, both as broker and purchaser. Some
of this paper he indorsed, and had dis
counted at banks, and on this paper he had
a contingent liability
He was said to handle some of the best
paper made, and about 515,000,000 of it an
aually. His assignment was caused, it is
said, by the condition of the nioner market,
which made it very difficult for him to
Jlofit the quantity ot commercial paper
which he generally handled, and nlso to the
decline in certain Southern railroad bonds.

An Interesting Review of Ills Life "Written
by One of His Associates A Man
Whose Independence Was Very Promi
nent. Hon George E. Mapes, the Chairman of
the Independent Republican Committee of
last fall, recently wrote the following
sketch of his former associate in the Leg
islature and political' work:
Among the men who figure as leaders In
the Prohibition party in Pennsylvania, none
are more prominent than Charles Spyker
V olfe, of Union county Although younger
by many years than several of the well
known Prohibitionists of tbo State, his long
ana brilliant career in the Legislature has
served to bring him into closer relations to
the people as n whole and his speeches are
listened to and read by men of all parties.
Mr. Wolfe was born at Lcwisburg, which la
still his home. April 6, 1815.
Ills father, Samuel Woltc, was of Pennsyl
vania German extraction., his ancestors
having emigrated to this section from Berks
county before the Revolution. Samuel
Wolfo married Catharine Lawsho. who was
descended from a Iluguonot family, and set
tled down to business as the leading grain
dealer of tho West Rianch Valley. His busi
ness was carried on by means of the canal,
over which he shipped his wheat to Balti
more and Philadelphia. His reputation for
honesty was so well established in tho sec
tion in which ho dealt that his word was
never questioned. This reputation stood
his son in good stead when the latter be
enmo a candidate for the Legislature, as he
was often greeted while making his first
canvass with the remnrk that "if ho proved
as good a man as his father tho district
wouia havo lcason to bo proud of him."
Samuel Wolfe died in lsoO, when bis son
Chuilcs was but 5 years old, but he had been
so successful in business that his tamily was
left iu good circumktanccs.
AN AMBITIOUS STUDENT.
Charles early became an ambitious stu
dent, and in 1S01 entered Lewisburg Univer
sity, of which his father had been a princi
pal founder. Although but 16 years of ago
he was awarded.the highest prize given his
class nt tbo preliminary examination. Nat
urally of a delicate constitution, closo ap
plication to study undermined his health,
and he was obliged to lcavo college for a
year, spending the tlmo in Minnesota with a,
party of civil engineers who were surveying
a sc i-etrb liallroaU. Kw-
The regular Republican caucus nominated
Henry W. Oliver and theOSnon-cancus legis
lators voted steadily for Galusha A. Grow.
Oliver and Grow both finally withdrew from
tho contest and John 1. Mitchell, of Tioga,
one of Wolfe's earliest associates in the Leg
islature, was chosen Senator.
A CAMPAIGN FOB TREASURES.
It was supposod that an honest attempt
would now bo mado to heal party divisions
by tho recognition of tho Independent ele
ment in the Republican party. There was a
tacit understanding that William F. Da vies,
of Bradford county, then a Senator and now
Lieutenant Governor, who was one of Grow's
adherents in the Senatorial contest, should
bo nominated for Stato Treasurer at tho
coming Stato Convention. This promise to
the ear was broken to tho hope, however,
and Davies was cast aside. Mr. Wolfe, who
attended the convention, thought ho saw in
the rejection of Daviei the evidence of a de
termination to ciush out tho last vestigo of
independence in the party.
Returning home he offered himself as an
Independent candidate for Stato Treasurer
ana entered at once, upon the prosecution of
one of tho most remarkable political cam
paigns ever witnessed in tho State. In tbo
tour weeks intervening between nis an
nouncement and the day of election he spoke
in nearly every city in the State, his speeches
ringing with denunciation of the existing
methods and calling for ladical reform in
tho management of tho Republican party.
Ho reoeived nearly 50.0CO votes and paved
the way for the nomination of the Indepen
dent Republican Stato tickctof lS82,whIch re
sulted in the defeat of General Beaver and
his associates on the regular party ticket. In
that campaign ho boio a conspicuous part,
attondlng the convention at Philadelphia
and speaking in many places during the can
vass that followed.
At tho closo of this exciting campaign Mr.
Wolfe retired from active participation in
Republican politics. Ho had always been a
total abstainer from intoxicating drinks and
during his Legislativ career had steadily
advocated and voted for all temperance
measures presented iu that body, including
the local option law, which was repealed
during the session of 1875.
AS A PROHIBITION LEADER.
During tho four years covered by tho term
of Governor Pattison he was a quiet observer
of political events. He believed that the
vital issues between the two existing parties
were settled and that politicshad descended
to a more scramble for the offices. Neither
party seemed disposed to array itself on the
side of tempeiance and advocate the
abolition or even the effective restriction of
the liquor trafHo. Regarding prohibition as
the vital issue of th future, Mr. Wollo could
see no hope for Its promotion except through
the instrumentality of a separate political
party.
In the winter of 18S5 he openly declared
his affiliation with the Prohibition party,
which had maintained an organization and
polled an insignificant vote at each election
since jazz, juany or nis iormer aamirers
followed him into the Prohibition ranks, and
it soon became apparent that unless he posi
tively declined the nomination he would be
come the standard-bearer of tho party in the
Gubernatorial contest. The Prohibition
Convention, which met at Uarrisburg Au
gustas, 1SSG, was by far the most imposing
gathering the Prohibition party had over
held in the State.
Over 600 delegates wero present, nearly or
quite every county being represented. From
all sections came tho demand that Wolfe
should head tho ticket. Ho was present in
the convention as a delegate from Union
county, and his appearance was tho signal
for manifestations of applause that could not
be repressed. The convention organized
and adjourned until tho following day, when
a fun ticket was nominated, with Wolfe at
its head, and a fund of upward of $7,000
pledged to carry on the campaign. Wolfe
and his colleagues on tho ticket took the
stump and raised tho Prohibition banner in
all parts of the State. The election showed
tnac tne I'roniDition vote naa inoro tnan

finished his college course, graduating in
I860 with the highest honors of bis class.
During his col lego court e he was a member
of an independent cavalry company, serv
ing in the umous Fishing Creek campaign
and in one of the Cumberland Valley cam
paigns, where he acted as orderly to Gen
eral Couch. He kept up his studies during
his term of military service, and did not fall
behind his class. Alter graduation he en
tered tho Harvard Law school, taking the
complete course required by tuat institu
tion. He was married to Martha E. Melxell
February 26, 1868, and upon the completion
of his law course returned to his native
'town and engaged in the practioe of his
chosen profession, in wliich ho soon
achieved marked success. His strongest
characteristics as a lawyor were his inde
fatigable industry, marvelous powers of en
durance and clearness of statement, lie
prepared his cases thoroughly and presented
nis points in terms that aro remarkable for
clearness and precision.
Bat while achieving far more than n aver
ago success as a lawyer, Mr. Wolfo is best
known to the people of Peunsylvnuia as a
brilliant, courageous nnd lncorruptlbleIegis-lator-
He was lirst elected to the Pennsyl
vania Houseof Representatives asaRepubltc
an, in 1372, from the counties of Union and
Snyder, and re-elected in tho following year.
Although one of the youngest members of
that body, he soon forged to tho front. Dur
ing this period he gave the first indication
ot his piedillction lor tempeiance roform by'
offering and ecurint tho oassairo ot a reso

the House.
HIS LEGISLATIVE RECORD.
Union county now became a separate
legislative district and Mr. Woire was
electee! to reprebent it for the session of 1371.
This session prepared the body of legislation
requiredto put in force the new Constitu
tion of 3872. Associated with him during
this session were John I. Mitchell, since a
United States Senator: Judge Orvis, of Cen
ter county; Xewmyer, of Allegheny; Strana
hnn, of Mercer, and others of liko ability
and experience wno havo since risen to
higher distinction. In the debates of this
session Mr. Wolfe boro a conspicuous part,
securing the reputation of being the best
posted man in the House upon tho ncft- Con
stitution, which he studied until ho prac
tically knew It by heart. Re-elected for tho
sessions of 1S75-76, Mr. Wolfo found himself
for tho first time in a party mlnoritv, tho
Democrats controlling the House. It was
during this session, however, that he en
tered upon his real career as a legislative
reformer. The famous Room bill contest
occurred during this session and Mr. Wolfo
led the investigation, which struck the first
blow at bribery In the Pennsvlvanla Legisla
ture. Two members, Petroff aud Lj-nott,
were expelled for participation in a corrupt
attempt to pass the bill as the result of his
determined fight for honesty In legislation.
3Ir. Wolfe did not become a candidate for
the House in 1S76, resuming the practice of
his profession tor a couple of years. The
resignation of Simon Cameron ns United
fetateb Senator in 1877 and the election of his
son Don to succeed hlra, however, induced
him to offer himself in tlio following year as
a candidate upon the distinct issue that he
would not voto to return Don Cameron to
the Senate at thocxplratlou of his term in
1S73. Upon this issue he was elected by an
overwhelming majority and was ono of 27
members and Senators who refused to go
into caucus for the nomination of a Sena
tor. But five of the 27 possessed the stay
ing qualities necessary to defeat Mr. Ctm
cron andlio was elected in spite of the bolt.
THE PITTSBURG RIOT BILL.
Mr. Wolfo now looked forward to a session
In which ho would take a very important
part aud exercise no influence whatever. In
this ho was mistaken, however, as In tho
long struggle ocr the bill appropriating
doubled, Wolfe polling 32,422 votes as against
1313I police, xor St. jonn lor I'resiuent in
1SS1. This was tho highest voto ever polled
for a Prohibition candidate in the State.
Irish, the Prohibition candidate for State
Treasurer in 18S7, receiving but 18,471 votes,
and Clinton B. Fisk, the Prohibition candi
date for Prosident in 1833, receiving but 20,947.
Mr. Wolfe's work in the campaign of last
'fall, whon he supported Pattison, is too
recent to need mention.

The wells which were expected to get the
sand yesterday were somewhat tardy, and
consequently few of them showed up to ad
vantage. On account of tho failure of the
Shaffer Oil Company's well on the Smith
lot at McDonald it was reported that 12
wells had been "shut down, temporarily at
least. They all claim that it is on account
of the shortage of the water supply. These
wells are all in the central and eastern part
of the borough, and are believed to be too
far to the east They are now waiting
patiently for the Wheeling Gas Company's
well on the Smith lot to get the fifth, which
it is expected to do to-day. Eastland &

fore unknown in that section, but which
has recently become so numerous and
destructive as to cause alarm.
The bug is of a light green color and in
shape something like an insect known in
Louisiana as the pumpkin bug. It is from pne
eighth to one-quarter of an inch In width
and slightly longer than it is wide across
the back. It has a bill projecting in front,
and it is supposed that with its bill it gets
in its work upon the young balls. It does
not appear to eat the leavesr but confines
itself to the balls and squares. The bugs do
not fly, but if followed up the stalk until
they reach the top they jump off, sometimes
springing three feet. All balls attacked by
them die and fall off. The planters are
fighting thein with paris green.

Popular opinion puts men nnd things to
the severest tests. Klein's celebrated brand
of "Silver Age" Pure Eye "Whisky has stood
this test for many years, and It Is galninir in
public favor every day. Physicians indorse
and prescribe "Silver Age" in preference to
all other whiskies, knowing its quality can
always be depended upon. Parties leaving
tho city for the summer should take along
with them a supply of Klein's "Silver Ago"
or "Duquesne" Kyo. The former sells at
$1 SO and the latter at $1 25 per full quart.
