A few days ago Mrs. A. F. Lampe, the
florist of No. 145 Newark avenue, called on
Detective Joe Francis, of the New Jersey
Detective Agency. She said that some
time ago an oily tongued man called on her
and solicited her advertisement for little
book he was about to get out. She gave it
to him after much argument, and he went
about his business. She paid No further
attention to him till SEINE days afterwards,
a check for SIS, bearing her signature,
forged, came to her from the bank. 1t
bore the endorsement of F. Parker, and
she recognized that name ut once as the
name of the advertisement solicitor. She
learned that he had represented to shoe
dealer Sands, of No. 81 Montgomery street,
that she was getting up the book, and had
forged her name to a receipt for Mr.. Sands
subscription money. The book was set in
type at M. L. Muller's printing shop, Nos
81 Newark avenue, but she learned there
that nothing like the number of copies
Parker had said would be issued, had been
printed. She learned, toe, that the name
Of c. D. Westervelt, d carpet cleaner, had
been forged to another CHECK
and at Francis instance she
made charge of perjury before Justice
Davis. Francis learned, on working on
the case, that the fellow had swindled, by
his representations and forgery, business
men in various parts of the country, and
that victims in Albany, Troy, and else
where were anxious to find him. His me-
thod, Francis learned, was to get reputa-
bic merchant with bank account to sign
his advertising contract and then to forge
the signature to. checks for various
amounts. The detective traced him from
this city to Newark, thence to Hoboken
and thence back to Newark again. In
Newark he passed variously as G. Fl. Bunt-
ing and E. Wellington, and had forged
three checks, at asst, there. He notified
the Newark police, and last evening
Francis received from Chief Tuite, of that
city, dispatch notifying him that the
man had been arrested. In lis pockets
were the names of IS different business
men of this city and Newark, who were
probably prospective victims of his dishon-
est schemes. Ten charges have already
been made against him.
He gave the name of Frederick Wheeler,
of Albany, but it is be believed to be e. w.

A BAND OF BOY BURGLARS,
WH0 MAKE TT HOT FOR RESIDENTS
OF THE BERGEN DISTRICT.

| Willie NewIirlk Says They Have Their
Captain and Their Scouts, and that
Details for Thieving Excursions are
Regularly Made Dat But Officer
/ HOltze Says 1t Is all Romance.
Among the prisoners in the County Jail
is twelve-year-old youth, who is known
as Willie Newkirk. His father is worth
less kind of fellow, who hangs around the
car stables in Greenville The boy was
jailed on charge of having stolen sad
die, and there are other charges pending
against him. County Prosecutor Winfield,
when the matter was brought to his notice,
thought it unlikely that lad of Willie's
size could have carried a saddle unaided,
and he concluded that the boy had had
confederates.
Then, said the Prosecutor, che told
me remarkable story about band Of Boy
burglars organized on the most approved of
military principles their captain and
and lieutenant and scouts"
TATTLER reporter learned the Story
from the little chaps own lips in the jail
last evening. Willie said that he is not
member of the gang, but that there is one
made up of boys from fourteen to sixteen
years of age, who have their head
quarters near Jewett and Paramount ave-
nues. They had captain, hs said, and
fall list of officers. They send out their
scouts. and whenever a job is on hand,
assign the lads best fitted for it to its exc
cution And when the work is done, they
assemble to make as even division of the
sHag as possible. worse feature of the
association is that number of young girls
are in league whit. They steal what they
can, and frequently meet with the boys for
''good time" The little rascal gave the
reporter number of names of members Of
the gang, but for prudential reasons they
are not published.
Officer Hottie, whe arrested Willie, thinks
that Willie is one of the worst boys of his
age that can be found. He has been ar
rested number of times, but on account
of his age he was let eff until this last time.
He has been in the habit of stealing where
ever and whatever he could He generally
had penchant for harness. He was SO
small that when arrested he was let of
after telling where the goods were hidden.
There is considerable harness at the station
which has been returned by parties who
bought it from him. Only last Decoration
Day his mother took him TO New York on q
visit to keep him cut of mischief. He gave
her the slip and came back with pal and
broke open house on Vroom street. They
borrowed stepladder from a neighbor on
the prstence that his mother wanted to
clean house. Having found the family's
grocer book in the house to which he thus
gained access, he went to the grocer with
whom the account was kept and bought S.
or Sc worth of goods. He was arrested on
the 81 of this month, but was let of. or
Ger Hottie says he does not believe the
story told by the boy. The boys impli-
Gated deny all knowledge of any club.

A THUNDER oLY.
he Csper One Cut In Massachusetts
Town.

PrrrsF1ELD, Mass, June 26.-The worst
storm in twenty years was experienced
here last night. The rain came dsgn in
floods, the lightning was iucessant and
terribly vivid, and the peals of thunder
shook the houses to their foundations
The residence of Charles Butler, on Second
street, was struck by lightning, the bolt
entering a room where Buffers wife and
infant child were lying on bed.
The posts of tho bed were shattered
and the occupants thrown to the focr,
but strangely enough, were not injured
The bolt passed to the kitchen, ripping up
the plastering, breaking furniture and fus+
ing metal works. It then struck the gas
pipe and entered the ground. The house
of Addison Chapel next door was also
damaged considerably by lighting. A large
barn at Baskerville, owned by man
named Roberts, wal fred by lightning and
burned to the ground; a horse which it
contained perishing in the flames. Tele-
phones over town were burned out and
considerable other damage done.

DATzD DAVIS DEAD.
The Man Guiteau's Pistol Made Vice.
President of the U. $.

BLooMNeToN, ILL.,, June 26.-David
Davis died at six o'clock this morning.
During the early part of last evening he
appeared to be falling, and it was felt GER
tain that he could not live through the
night. At eleven o'clock he revived some
what and was given milk and stimulants in
small quantities. The effect was for the
worse, however, fer he at once relapsed
into a comatose condition. his pulse be-
coming very feeble. During the succeed
ing three hours he failed gradually, his
pulse growing noticeably weaker until the
end came Tn cause of death was Bright's
disease of the kidneys, aggravated by q
weakened condition of the system dating
from the timeihe became afflicted with the
carbuncle.
Mr.. Davis was bern in Maryland in 1915,
of Welsh stock. Removing to Ohis in his
boyhood, he was class-mate in college of
Edwin IL. Stanton, and later the warm
friend of Abraham Lincoln. At the time
of the Electoral Commission, both parties
had selected their men to act fer it, and
the sentiment of the country pointed to
Davis, then Supreme Court Judge. as the
impartial arbitrator who was to act with
them. To get him out of the way, the
Republicans had him elected United States
Senator from Illinois, and to the surprise
of every one he accepted the Office; and all
hope of fair Electoral Commission was
dispelled. In 1881 he was made President
Of the Senate, and SO Vice-President of the
United States.

residence next Tuesday at P. NJ, and the
