Andrew Roberts, a notorious forger,
was arrested in the corridor outside the
supreme courtfrooms in New York, on a
charge Of committing numerous forgeries
Of recent date. For some time past SUBJ

considerable extent by system of check
forgeries, in which Roberts has been in
terested. His capture leaves only William

Democratic Victories.

In Omaha the Democrats elected James
E. Boyd, their candidate for mayor and
carried the general city ticket and all the
ward candidates with one or two excep-
tions. The whole city government is re-
organized under the new law at this cleo
ton. and the victory is regarded as most
important. In Chicago the majority of
Harrison, DEM. for mayor, will reach
6.0O0 and probably exceed those figures.
The Socialist ticket received no support
and the votes Of that party seems to have
gone chiefly to the Democratic ticket. In
Columbus, Ohio, the entire Democratic
ticket except street commissioner was
elected by majority ranging from 900
down.

New Era.
The result Of the voting at the organ
ization of councils yesterday was to place
the entire city administration in the hands
OF the Democrats, the only Republican
holding place being the president and
clerk of the select branch The city
government being thus placed in the hands
OF the Democrats, they will have ample
opportunity ogive us a prudent and eco
nomical administration. Both bodies are
fully up to the average, and We have rea-
son to expect that they will be frcer of
Jobs and set-ups than they sometimes have
been. There will be ample scope for the
exercise of all the wisdom of the members
on both sides, and it is to be hoped that
when the term Of the present councils ex-
pires they will at least leave the affairs Of
the city in as good condition as they found
them.
