A Daring FOrger Captured.

| CHICAGO, Jan. IA forgery to .
large amount and the flight and arrest
of the cul prit were made public this
evening by tn. Pinkerton Detective
Agency. About Christmas time tho
Agency received a telegram from Sper-
ry g. Barnes, OF New.York and New
Haven, the American agent of the
large Liverpool commission house Of
Bamfore Brothers, that their exchange
clerk, E. II. KObbe, has absconded after
forging and converting to his own use
$100,000 in exchange.
The agency at once went to work
upon the case and soon discovered
Kobbe was here in company with .
man named John B. Van Arsdale, and
that they we're spending money very
freely. While the case was being
worked up Van Arsdale returned TO
New York, where he was arrested. Last
Friday kObbe was arrested secretly in
a house Of i'll repute with one of the in
mates, Of whom he had become en-
amored, and with whom he was on the
point of starting for Mexico. Four
hundred dollars in money was round iu
his possession, and 81 200 worth of furs
and silks which he had lavished on the
woman were also taken possession of.
The Pinkertons say he confessed that
his gains were fully 100000. He was
taken to New York the same day that
he was arrested, and last Sunday took
the detectives to the upper part of New
York, where they recovered from .
dry cistern, inca sed in an hermetic ally
sealed drain-pipe and wrapped in oiled
silk, Government Bonds to the amount
of $4,000. Going thence to Brooklyn,
another piece OF draiD.pipe yielded S25,-
600. 1t is not known here whether any
more of the money has been recovered.
Kobbe Is well connected aud once Oc-
cupied responsible position with the
Inman Line, and his brother is now
chief clerk in that office.

No Interest In tho City's Affairs.

From the spirit shown by the mem.
bers of the Board of Trade of this city,
1t is taken for granted that they have
not the city's interest at heart, or they
would not absent themselves from the
meetings of the Board. Last evening
a meeting was called, and each mem-
Der present notified that business Of
importance would be transacted, but
after waiting until nearly 3 o'clock,
only six members had presented them
selves, President II. II. Cause, Sec.
retary E. A. Van Trump and Franklin
b. Cotton, George Churchman, Charles
g. Phillips and James Bradford being
those present who responded to tho
call.
For some time past an effort has been
made to hold meeting, In order that the
constitution could be 80 amended as to
make Six q quorum instead of nine,
but 1t seems utterly impossible to get
the necessary number present to trans
act business. In speaking Of the state
Of affairs, a prominent member present
stated last night that he thought 1t
strange that out Of population of
As, 900 people, body like the Board Of
Trade could not fiud nine men who had
the city's interest ut heart.

To buy cheap 10 a mania. Seldom
does the buyer of cheap goods consider
whether it Is possible to offer frst-class
or genuine goods at cheap prices. The
Liebig Co. offers no cheap goods. 1t
offers only honest preparations at honest
prices. The celebrity of its Coca Beet
Tonic Is due to uniformity of quality
and price. Invaluable in dyspepsia,
biliousness, debility, nervou sness and

New Regulations GOveFnlngsch b Ool
Tickets on PenMsy lyanla II. H.

Another liberal departure was made
on January LIST by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company in striking out the
restriction as 10 age from the rules
governing the issue of school tickets
Heretofore the sale of such commu-
tation tickets was limited to pupils of
educational institutions under eighteen
years of age. This having been
abolished, students, without regard to
age, attending elementary, scientific, or
art schools, will be entitled TO purchase
these tickets.
This Is as it should be, and there Is
little doubt but that the advantage will
be- 80 well appreciated by residents
along the line that the inclufiug of
students over eighteen will really re-
suit in an increased revenue by virtue
of the increase of travel stimulated by
the reduced rate.

Mr. Taylor said he would like Il
know what had caused the gentleman
to change his mind, and he would ais.
like TO hear the reasons Tor wanting the
matter rs.c0nsidersd.
Mr.. Grubb replied that In his eager.
ness to do something for the poor, he
had voted for the motion without due
consideration, but after be had gone
home and examined the City Charter he
found that 1t could not be done. He felt
o. anxious TO do something for the poor
as any gentleman on the floor, hut he
wanted IL done In accordance with the
provisions of the charter.
Mr.. Taylor inquired what part Of the
charter Mr.. Grubb had reference to, VI hen
he replied by reading section o., which
he claimed clearly showed that IL would
require an ordinance to allow this un-
expended appropriation TO be used In
this way. Han ordinance Of that ma.
ture was presented, he would be one OF
tho first 70 vote for It.
Tho discussion was continued for
