How it wag Done.
Tbe trial and conviction of "Boss
Tweed," in New York, for swindling tbe
County, will create a desire in tbe minds
of many person to know what was
done, and how the matter was arranged.
The guilty parties besides Tweed, are E.
A. Wooward, Peter B. Sweeney, and Rich
ard B. Connolly. Of the se the first to take
flight was E. A. Woodward, a committee
clerk of the Board of Supervisors, who is
credited with having been the distributing
ofjjoer of the Ring by which the County
was plundered in the Court House job.
Tbe mode of operating thesd swindle as
revealed in the recent trials, was as follows !
Woodward and other accountants would
tftke existing claims against tbe county
prior to Aprlli 1870, and "raise" thorn CO
per cent. In amount. These raised ac
counts wore then presented to the Board
of Audit, consisting of Mayor Hall, Comp
troller Connolly, and commissioner Tweed,
and very promptly approved. The war
rants on the County Treasury, payable at
the Tenth National Bank, were then given
to tbe contractor Garvey, Keyser, Miller,
Ingersoll, or whoever he might be and
immediately upon their drawing the raised
amounts called for by the warrants, 66 per
cent, thereof was deposited in the same
bank to tbe credit of E. A. Woodward, and
a distribution of the plunder made by the
latter in certain uniform proportions,
whereof Tweed's the lion's Bhare was
found to have been invariable twenty-four
per cent. In addition to these raised ac
counts, wbich bad some legitimate basis, it
bas been shown that there were a large
number of claims wbich were wholly
fictitious, and for wbich it could not be
claimed that the county received a particle
of benefit, so that it baa been estimated
that out of the f 0,000,000 of tbe county
money paid out in this way tbe honest
basis of the claims did not amount to more
than $300,000. It is a current fiction in
criminal law that no one can know of the
existence of an indictment until the accus
ed bas been arrested, but is perfectly un
derstood that some dozen of iudictmeots
were found against Woodward Boon after
the revelations of these frauds in 1871, and
his precipitate flight occurred in November
of that year.
Sot well Hinted.
The Pittsburgh Chronicle says : " Con
siderable excitement prevails among the
people in Bnrnell township, Westmoreland
county, on account of tbe unexpected mar
riage of a farmer aged about forty-five
years and a little girl aged about thirteen
years. It seems tbat farmer B. was a
widower and bis land adjoin those of a
widow lady, tbe mother of the young bride.
The farmer paid a visit to Pittsburgh last
week, and the widow lady thought it a
good opportunity for her daughter to see
the city, as she would be perfectly safe un
der tbe protection of her friend. Tbe two
came on together and it appears that tho
first sight the old gentleman took the little
girl to see, was tbe minister. But it was
neoessary that some slight preparation be
made by tbe daughter before tbey presented
themselves to the people, as tbe circum
stances of ber youthfulness would be al
together too apparent, and might spoil the
fun. Accordingly she captured a dress
with a long trail, (she tells this herself,)
looked as big ami as wise as possible, and
tbe thing was carried through successfully,
tbe minister paid and the certificate receiv
ed. On their return borne they publicly
announced their marriage, and tbe shock
was terrific. But it seemed to confine it
self almost entirely to tbe female neigh
borhood, and the effect on the mother her
self was not visibly depressing. There is
some talk among the relatives of the bride
of prosecuting the minister, but the mother
refuses to take a band in the movement,
and declines to exhibit the certificate and
thus divulge bis name.
Saloon Episode.
A man named Weibold entered a saloon
in India street, Brooklyn, E. D., last Sat
urday, and called for a glass of beer. Af
ter drinking, be seated himself in a chair
in the centre of tbe room, and-soon after he
began to stare at tbe proprietor, who im
agined the customer to be deeply engaged
in thought. The saloon keeper desiring to
go out, asked the visitor to attend to his
affairs in his absence, and although there
was no reply, be look it for granted tbat
the request would be complied with, and
immediately left the saloon. A little
while afterwards he returned, and the vis
itor still sat upright and motionless near
tbe table. The brewer who supplied tbe
restaurant keeper with beer soon after
wards came in and invited all banda to
drink. Tbe man at tbe table failed to
respond, and the saloon keeper becoming1
enraged at bis indifference, came from be
hind the counter, pulled him out of bis
chair, dragged bim up to the bar, and
shoved a glass of beer toward bim. As
the proprietor withdrew bis band from the
collar of tbe visitor, tbe latter sank t the
floor, and tbe startling discovery was made
that Weibold was dead. He bad probably
expired immediately after drinking tbe
glass of beer, and bad been a corpse more
than an hour.
tV A slight shock of an earthquake was
felt at at San Francisco on tbe evening cf
tbe 20tb of November. An entire block in
the town of Eureka, Nevada, was bunted
on the same day. Loss, (30,000.
