THE GENTEEL SWINDLER. An English Confidence Nan and. Dead Heat.

For a city of Its years and experience Chicago contains within its limits a large class of people wbo are what is commonly kuown as "fly," and are seldom -made the victims of "dead-beats," but occasionally one of these people turns up here and victimizes all classes. As a general thing they either assume the role of foreign noblemen or their scions, or claim connection with the newspaper profession, and it is this latter claim that gives a reporter an appetite to write up such claimants. From the stories of a number of reliable ladies and gentlemen it would appear that chicago's last "dead-beat" has turned up in the alleged on of an elleged English baronet with an alleged enormous fortune. He also laid claim to newspaper connection, making the assertion that he had written for Tile TalausE. A reporter who heard of this scion of a noble house made Inquiries and discovered that no representative of the British Peerage bad been writmg for the paper recently, so he resolved to investatate toe man.

Ile learned that Mr. D. Lamb. who could be found at the Tremont House, knew something of the alleged Englishman, and be paid that gentleman a visit. Mr.

Lamb was at first reluctant to say anything, but after a good deal of reportorial persuasion, consented to tell what he knew of the party. The man's name, he said, was Q. A. McConnell. who claimed to be the eldest son of Sir James McConnell.

of England. He had learned that the man was really what he represented himself to be. ills tether had an enormous fortune, but had disowned him because be wage chronic drunkard and ACCOMPLISHED DEAD-BEAT. McConnell, who was a typical Englishman of the beefy. florid, and side-whiskered type, had called on him, at the Tren3ont House.

some months ago, presenting a letter of hatroducdon. Out of high regard for the writer Mr. Lamb said he bad introdoced the Englishman to a number. of friends, and treated him with every consideration in his power. McConnell bad represented that he had been in America some years ago, engaged in extensive mining enterprises in Salt Lake City.

During his stay here be bad reported that be bad formed the acaptaintance of a Miss Robinson, and had married her, but was subsequently divorced. That, be said. was about two years ago. McConnell claimed to be on Intimate terms of friendship. Mr.

Lamb said. with the late Charles Stiles, and frequently asked gentlemen to accompany him to the Owl Clue to meet "Cousin Charles," as he called him, but, as the invitation came from rather a doubtful source, It was Out justice to say that none of them ever accompanied him there. No trreat time bad elapsed, said Mr. Lamb, before the Englishman ran short of funds, notwithstanding the fact that be had represeseuted to friends that be had some 113,000 at his command in batik. His immediate needs, however.

were supplied by the gentlemen to whom be had been introduced, much to their present regret. Mr. Lamb relates that while 'McConnell was waiting for his alleged money be spent his time about saloons drinking at the expense of those who saw tit to "set 'em up." He appeared to take great pleasure in showing some well-written letters from a Chicago lady, who was at present traveling in Europe with her grandmother, and to whom be bad claimed to be emraged. Often be would show a picture of the lady, which he carried in a locket on his watebehain. About ten days ago be suddenly disappeared, leavimr a board bill unpaid, also a number of detts incurred by borrowing money front his too confiding acquaintances.

ilis great game, Mr. Lamb said. was to tell great stories of his connections In England and of conquests among the fair sex. He took his meals at a fashionable boarding house and roomed at another across the street. The ladies of both houses were left in the lurch, but they were paid in full by the parties who had introduced the Englishman.

Mr. Charles Burton, of the Illinois Central Road, was asked by the reporter if be knew the man. "Know him," be exclaimed, "if you're writing him up you can put my 0 K' to all you can write about him. He's an infernal liar! I'll contribute that much." Edward 'Smith, the proprietor of a sample-room near the Grand Opera-House, said be had been Introduced to the man, and bad set him down for a beat at the time, as be talked so much. One day he ran in and asked tor Va.

With an eye to the money, Sir. Smith politely asked him "what onr He said, "on principle," but Edward told him that while "principle" went as security between himself Ulla his friends. it did not go with strangers. One day be met the Englishman at the races and was asked for a peinter." Mr. Smith told Min tne best "pointer" be could give him was to leave town, and be does not understand why the wentieman froun across the water has not spoken to him since.

In one instance a bill called for seventeen and a bait dayie-work, which bad been cut down to one day.

Re had a rough-and-tunable scrap with her. and it might have gone bard with him bad it not been for the opportune arrival of the patrol-wagon. Three officers then seized her and rushed her over to the station, and with ditheuity got her into a cell.

She had been there hut a few moments when She went to work and tore all the clothing from her body. Thee taking a knife from her stockine. where it bad escaped the notice of toe officers, she made an attempt to eut her throat.

the colored man arrested by Detroit detectives on a dispatch from Chicago for a ciainond theft minuet tted in this city, was yesterday brought back here by Detective Ryan.

One night while "doing the town" he was lured into a den of colored cyprians on Third avenue. and before he got into tbe street again a etJe) -spark that was wont to decorate his shirt-front had been deftly nipped by some of the inmates of the house. Clark reported his loss, and the house was pulled, but it was finally learned that Goodin, a baneer-ou at the Third avenue den.

had the diamond in his possession and bad skipped with the same to Detroit The diamond was recovered in that city. Goodin will be prosecuted here for larceny as soon as the owner of the diamond gets here. CABLE-CAR IMPROVEMENTS. The beRsystem on the State street cable line has been greatly Improved since its first introduction. Originally the gong bell was placed in the dome of the grip-car and was worked by the engineer with a beilrope.

but its constant clanging was annoying to the passengers, and the bells were removed to the roofs of the cars, the rope being attached throuelt a bole beneath it. Then the growlers complained that no notitlcation of the approach of a car was given, and the bells were put under the grip-cars, being operated continually by the running-gear while the car was in motion. Recently an ingenious Invention has been tried on a few of the cars, and its uuquestioned success will probably induce the company to adopt it on all the cars. It consists of a hollow rod in one corner of the eneineer's box, extending from the dome to the tioor. In this operates a sort ot piston, which is attached to the running-gear at the lower end and at the upper end to an arm which goes through the dome.

On this arm is a hammer which strikes the gong in rapid succession while the car is in motion. At the engineer's side is a lever with which be can connete and disconnect this contrivance at ea. When his train approaches another be connects it, and a constant ringing is kept up while the train is being passed, allowing the engineer to keep both bands on the lever, so that he can stop short, it necessary.

1611,10 Rail- Sunday evening next NOTICE Mason Contractors, symphony Night at the Exposition Building. Last nigrit was called "Symphony night," since on every Thursday during the Thomas concert season it is intended to give one of Beethoven's symphonies. How the entire nine are to be rendered on five Thursdays is not quite clear, but we are wilting to leave that matter entirely to Mr. Adams mathematical ability He has promised the nine symphonies, and as be is a man of his word we shall probably get the full quota. Symphony No.

2, in op. 36, was the number rendered last evening. It is one of Beethoven's earliest, and composed before the great master had entirely freed himself from the influence of Haydn and of Mozart. While it has less originality and freedom in composition than the third and fourthespecially the latter, in which Beethoven so strikingly asserts his own Individualitystill it is broader than the first and sotnewnat larger. Already the composer's tendency to emancipate himself entirely from the established forms is becoming evident in bis work, and there are some novel points in the scoring of this second symphony.

Au excellent description of it was given in last night's program. The orchestral rendering was practically faultless. Tonight the first "request program wid be given, and the selections asked for are as Prelude, horst, Bach uue. Adapted for orchestra by J. J.

Owing to the absence of Commissioner O'Neill, Chairman of the Committee on Courthouse and Records, the test of the elevators was postponed until Saturday afternoon. The Committee on Equalization of the County Board will listen to complaints in regard to assessments at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning', when it is expected that the country towns will all have sent in their books.

The weekly report of the Warden of the County hospital shows that there are 3.i4 patients remaining in the institution, of which seven are pay patients. There were seventy-two persons admitted, seventy-seven discharged, and eleven died. The Committees on Public Buildings and Charities have decided to appoint Ed Phillips as the Superintendent of the newrounty Poorhouse and Infirmary. He is said to be a competent builder, and has worked recently for the West Park Board. The Committee on Hospitals met and decided to appoint an assistant curator, who shall act as nurse also.

and receive a salary of f45 per month. The assistant curator's duty is to aid in all surgical operations and to dress all capital surgical wounds, besides caring for one of the surgical wards as nurse. The new appointee is an old nurse, Chsrles Broker, who has served nine years in the hospital. One ot the most best things that have been introduced lately into the County Board was brought in at last Mondays session by Commissioner Senile. This resolution provides for a division of the County Poor-House from the Insane Asylum, and placing each under separate management, given the Warden control of tie Poor-flouse and the Medical Superintendent charge of the Insane Asylum.

The accounts are to be kept separately, so that some idea can be obtained of what it actually costs to support Cook County' paupers. His resolutions also provide for additional land to be purchased up to 141 serest adjoin the present Poor Farm. With this additional land the Poor-House could be made almost self-sustaining. The Sheriff's investigation was resumed yesterdsy morning before Master-in-Chancery Wait, Commissioners Albright and Mattocks being present- The first witness placed ortfthe stand was Deputy-Sheriff Burke. He testified that during the time that be has been in office under the present administration he has earned for the county, or nearly one-third of the entire receipts of the office 'since Mann has occupied it.

He also swore that the office could get along with less help. As Mr. Burke Is but one of seventeen deputies. the testimony would go to show that somebody is "playing soldier." Ho bad never served a grand Jury summons 'since he has worked under Mann. This convinced Mr.

Albrignt that reform is necessary in that branch. Deputy-Sheriff Eastman claimed that be once served one special venire grand jurors' Summons. He received no perquisites outside of his salary. He paid his custodians 1,5 per day and got their receipts. Whether be benefited from them directly or indirectly be declined to state.

The investigation will be resumed at 10 o'clock this morning. Thus far, the Sneritt's defense has not been a very strong one. I. La Dame. 2.
