Sixth Avenue was Inclosed In which H was suggested that he could send the In bills of large denomination and also a postal card ad- dressed to D K Gordon 856 Sixth nue on which a blind message was tan Indicating that the money would be sent This postal card was to be mailed the day before the contains the money was posted If however Kuhna decided to come on he was to telegraph simply the right Kuhns decided on the latter course and after sending the all right telegram on July 1 for South Bethlehem Penn as directed He was detained en route and did not arrive at his destination until July 4 He went Immediately to the Pacific House and after registering was assigned to Room 5 This hotel according to Mr Comstock is situated very favorably aa a headquarters for green goods men It la within a stone's throw of the stations of the three railroad lines centering there the Valley the Reading and the Central It Is situated on the boundary line between and ampton Bounties and four boroughs The local authorities do not bother themselves about the operations of the swindlers and Mr Comstock said yesterday In telling the story of the arrest that the officer at the station protects them Immediately after Kuhns went to his room Jones came In and showed him the four telegrams which during the he had sent to the swindlers He asked for the circulars and letters hs had received but Kuhns had not brought them with him yet identified himself bf a which had been Inclosed in one of the Jones learned that Kuhni had brought with him and then he posed that they occupy the same bed but to this Kuhns would not consent The next morning Jones took Kuhns to Bound Brook N 3 At the station Jones hired a wagon from Constable Taylor and drove with his victim to Hotel a road house Jna lonely place about a mile and a half from the station There two other members of the gang met them The counterfeit money was shown to Kuhns and he was Induced to part with for which the swindlers promised to send In counterfeit money to him five days Subsequently was re- to enable him to get home A receipt was given to him which read as Received from O D K the sum of for goods to be delivered within flve days JOHN H THOMAS 125 Bond Street Brooklyn The address signed to the receipt has since been learned to be a lot The swindlers also promised to send Kuhns extra if he would mall to them Immediately on the circulars and letters received from them when the deal was completed Kuhns was brought to this city by one of the gang On the way the fellow tried to induce him to part with his watch on the promise of receiving In green goods for It but the victim decided to keep hla timepiece He returned to Atchison and waited In vain for the money which had been promised him Then he came on to this city and communicated with Mr Comstock As the circular had been mailed In this city a warrant was procured from United States Commissioner Shields for the arrest of the swindlers and the ferries were watched In the hope of picking up the men on this side of the river but without re- sult Learning that the gang was still ating about Bound Brook a warrant was obtained from United States Commissioner Jones at Newark Armed with this Com- stock and Officer Oram went to Bound Brook with Kuhns and although the place was fairly alive With men Jones and his companion did not appear It was then determined to try South Bethlehem and a warrant was obtained from United States Commissioner Craig at Philadelphia Comstock went to South lehem but his plans for the capture of the gang were frustrated by an officer stationed at the depot who evidently guessed his er- rand and warned the swindlers Kuhns paid another to South lehem on Wednesday and found Jones there He telegraphed to Mr Comstock who hastened to place arriving there at 8 o'clock In the evening Jones was found seated on the porch of the Pacific House and was immediately arrested He resisted and the gang about him attempted to rescue him but when Comstock drew his revolver and threatened to shoot the first man who Interfered with him they gave him a wide berth He handcuffed his oner and marched him down to the station and took the train for Easton where Jones was temporarily committed to Jail by United States Commissioner Yesterday Jones was taken to Philadelphia and was formally committed Into the custody of the United States Marshal to await a rant of removal to this city Mr Comstock said yesterday that If the Western Union Telegraph Company would strictly enforce the order Issued some time ago directing their operators to withhold all telegrams Intended for the green goods men the business of the swindlers would be broken up In many in- stances the telegrams themselves are held but In some mysterious manner the swindlers are made aware of their cortenta Within the last month Mr Comstock had received from the Post Office In this city letters intended for green goods men but which the department has retained as contraband matter This will show to what extent the business is be- ing carried on DEFENDER AGAIN GROUNDS APPOINTMENTS BY THE FIRE BOARD Question of the Civil Service Probably Will Be Adjusted President La Grange of the Fire ment and Lee Phillips Secretary of the Civil Service Board met yesterday and talked over the of some men In the Fire Department whose right to

OFF AT HIGH TIDE No Damage to the Yacht Riggers to Put in a New Spar at Once R I Aug Defender arrived here this afternoon but waa un- fortunate enough to go aground on the southwest point of Hog Island She had only her staysail set at the time and went on easily It was low water and the rising tide floated her off after she had been fast about an hour The steamboat Archer of Fall River Is here with a derrick ready to take out the mast and a number of riggers are on hand ready to look after her rigging Men have been at work at the getting the new mast ready The new apar will be much stouter than the old one which gave signs of weakness In Tuesday's race The machine shop was run all laat night getting out the bands and other ironwork for the pew mast It is understood that the yacht will also have a new topmast The tug Wallace B has arrived with the untried steel gan and other spare spars Those on Defender are still very reticent about tha nature of the Injury done to the yacht In her last race This la the sixth misfortune that has to the Defender and yachtsmen think there la a hoodoo somewhere First she stuck on the ways when launching Next her steering gear became deranged on July 30 Then her gaff snapped in the Goelet Cup race on Aug 2 Her next mishap was going aground on the Band bar la Newport Harbor on Aug 9 Then came the trouble to her standing In the race last Tuesday and now she has gone aground again Each time she has gone aground by good fortune a soft spot has been picked so not much harm has been done but all these mishaps are shaking the public confidence In the yacht The owners of the Defender have been somewhat annoyed by the Inferences drawn from their hesitation about tion aa to the nature of the hap on Tuesday One of Mr close friends said The Defender was not wild at the outer mark until several attempts were not made to jibe her What happened was that orders were given to stand by to Jibe The sheet was eased off to ease the mast and then taken In The boat was put before the wind with all the strain off when Capt Haff found that according to his compass he waa Ing for the lightship and gave orders not to Jibe It was afterward found that the compass was a point out At the lightship the boat was at no time out of control always answered her helm The boom did not go over hard nor did We have any more of a than we expected No damage was done at the masthead at that time nor at the step The hull of the boat showed no signs of strain and thing held What happened was that in going out to the windward mark the first time the mast showed signs of weakness and buckled badly We thought we should lose It before we reached the first mark The steel band at the hounds came down about one Inch The mast buckled so that the boom dropped down until we could not get It in enough with the main sheet block and the gaff was so far over the aide that the topsail would not stand The Defender was Bent to Bristol after her new mast because by going she could save about two days There Is a little betting on the tional races Yesterday to waa offered that the Defender would beat the Valkyrie It was promptly taken The kyrie man suggested that the Defender might not defend the cup The layer of the odds said he had not thought of that and so the bet was not made The Vigilant went out for a short spin down the bay yesterday Mr says the boat will not be before the trial races NEARLY READY She IB Not Strained and Will Ite Oat of Dry Dock Soon Capt Jolly tars like beavers all day yesterday getting the kyrie in shape A big crowd stood around the Erie Basin Dry Dock from early Ing until darkness shut the boat from view As the yacht Is more and more her racing condition those who see her are becoming more and more Impressed with her powerful proportions Nearly all the rigging was set up day The topmast was stayed and as the rigging went up It was noticed that there were many new wrinkles Introduced Every part of the rigging Is as light as Is con- with the enormous size of the spars The slings of the peak halliards are arranged running from the lightest of steel blocks In a gradual ascending scale until the outer part of the third and longest sling Is fastened very nearly at the same point as the cheek block through which the topsail sheet Is rove The blocks form the most Interesting part of the ging There Is not a double one to be found Every part of her running gear reeves snugly through the lightest block every brought over on a racing yacht Where double or triple tackle is necessary two or three single block carry each ItB part end are separately In positions never lesa than three feet apart from each other The topping left Is double and of steel wire The shrouds are set up with buckles on deck and the masthead withes are kept from the mast by being slipped over steel or flanges These will prevent an accident like that which happened to the Defender last flay The bowsprit has not been stayed yet The bobstay to be used Is a double one and will be stretched over two martingales set together The mast was partly yesterday It will be finished to-day and then The topmast and gad have been and this shows how well the yacht will look when In racing shape Fart of tha low racing rail has been put on The hull Is nearly ready for the painters All the paint has been burned off and the smoothed Where the putty had been squeezed out in places under the bow and bilges the seams have been The painters will get to work to-day Below the water line the black tion very much resembling an enamel will bo put on This la said to be made of coal tar and pot lead After this la done the Continued oa Pace a MAY A NEW RECORD HOME The Arrival of the American Line ship Paris Awaited with More

sent to Congress There Is Irony of the deepest significance In the bare announcement but It Is true The virile old leader power was wrested from him years ago by the present Republican machine Is to be the first to step Into office when next year's takes place Partly with a view to giving him fitting honors at the close of his career partly as the most complete evidence of their victory and partly be- cause he will make a man the have offered him the nomination and he has accepted It Mr city home Is at 2015 Spring Garden Street In the Fifteenth Ward This Is In the Fourth Congressional District which comprises also the first Twenty-fourth Twenty-seventh Twenty-eighth Twenty-ninth second and Thirty-fourth Wards It was the late William D Kelley's district and since the death of that conspicuous tor Feb 18 1890 It has been represented In Washington by John B Reyburn The latter owes his re-election last year to both Martin and but In the present tional fight he has sided with the former Hla activity In the late campaign when he worked with Mayor Warwick to down Alexander Crow Jr In the Fifteenth Ward was not calculated to meet with tho approval of a majority of hia constituents The result was an almost spontaneous de- mand for an candidate for Congress and like an Inspiration the name of Mr McManes was spoken of The news that the old leader was to be asked to step back Into the harness spread quickly through the ward then through the district and finally the city Itself knew It The whole thing happened between morn Wednesday and midnight The rampant Quay people In the Fifteenth Ward not satisfied with demolishing the combine there quickly looked for new worlds to conquer and there was a magic something In thp thought of sending McManes to Congress that aroused the blood In the veins of the most sluggish of them The fact that the convention would not meet for more than a year did not dampen their ardor They were so full of fight that they could not reat easy on their hard-won laurels There was some fear that Mr McManes would decline to let his be used but when some of the more conservative dentH of tho ward submitted the sition to him Wednesday night he did not hesitate longer than was required In the mastery of the emotions called up by the unexpected offer He said that If he could help his friends In any way at any time he was willing to do It He accepted the candidacy told his callers they were at liberty to do what they pleased In his Interest As an echo of the hotly contested lican primaries of Tuesday night Wade Auday

that a new convention be summoned to nominate another candidate Gov Brown's to Mr Hurst as a candidate were that the selection was made by Gorman and before the con- vention had time to make up Its
