A Forger and Real Estnre speculato
Easily Eludes Justice.

A Forger and Real Estate Spectator
Easily Eludes Justice.
CHICAGO, March 14.-William H. Davis,
a well-known builder and real estate dealer,
was arrested to-day at the door of the Chi
cago Trust and Savings Bank, charged with
victimizing the President of the institution,
d. 81. Tolman. Forgery was the speeifca-
tion, but the purpose was 70 hold Davis for
an extensive series of offenses, such as SELL
ing to each of a number of people the same
piece of property. The prisoner quickly
gave bail for the forgery and disappeared.
The arrest was we'll planned. Davis had
an appointment with Mr.. Tolman at the
bank, and before the hour arrived the Presi-
dent had sworn out a warrant and given the
document to an officer, who was stationed in
the bank entrance to await the real estate
man. Davis arrival was prompt; his arrest
was equally so. Both events were surpassed
in celerity, however, by his release, he
scheduling the required security OF 81, 900,
and walking out before it was realized that
additional warrants were necessary.

A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
A Precocious Allegheny Youth Wants to Sue
Driver for Damages.

A Precocious Allegheny Youth Wants to Sue
Driver for Damages.
Audley De Costo Holman, bright g.
year-old son of DR.. James A. Holman, of
Allegheny, had miraculous escape from a
horrible death about o'clock last even
ing. He was crossing Samson street when
one of Heinz's heavy wagons rolled around
the corner, and the little fellow was knocked
down and run over. The wheels of the
wagon, which weighs 1000 pounds, passed
over his legs above the knees, but the bones
were not broken. He was also injured in
ternally, and, when picked up and carried
into his fathers Office, was unconscious.
He revived soon after and began to shrek
with pain. but was placed under the infiu-
ence of morphine and his injuries were at
tended to. When he recovered from the
effect of the drug he was very cheerful and
said: "Say, don't you think can sue that
driver for damages?" The boy, although
only years of age, evidently has an eye to
business.
The driver stopped his wagon at once and
remained in the doctors Office until told by
the father of the boy that he could retire, as
he was not altogether at fault.

GRIPMEN COMPLAINING.
The New Rules on the Penn Avenue Line the
Cause of Complaint.

4uo NOW huIeB on IDe rem avenue Line the
Cause of Complaint.
There is great amount of grumbling
going on among the employees of the Citizens
traction road over the new rules which go
into effect to-day. A number of gripmen
threatened to quit last night, as they claimed
the new hours of duty are worse than they
were before.
Beginning to-day there will be but seven
Swing" runs. The first car out will leave
at 5 o'clock, and each one will make five
trips. The regular men will then take pos
session of the seven cars and the crews of
the latter will be laid off until $50 or P. NJ.
They will then go on and work until mid
night when they will finish their days
work.
Thirteen eswing" crews were taken off
and added to the list of 10 extra conductors
and gripmen, making % extra conductors
for 20 cars. The non-unionists claim that
when they follow a union crew the latter
drop behind on their time and pick up their
passengers. By doing this the non-union
conductors receipts are not as large as those
of the others and the impression is given
out that he is dishonest.

OLE0 GETS A COLD STAB.
The House Committee Refuses to Repeal
the Grease Butter Law.


the Grease Butter Law.
rFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
HARRISBURG, March 14.-The Commit
tee on Health and Sanitation this evening
negatived Representative Marland's bill
for the repeal of the oleomargarine law, and
also his bill to create the Office of Dairy
Commissioner, with necessary staff, to go
on salaries and power to regulate the dairy
and oleomargarine business of the State in
the interest of purity and public health.
Prof. Hugo Blanc, of Pittsburg; Prof.
Williams. of the Natrona Salt Works, and
DR.. Mott, of New York, appeared before
the committee and gave it some very inter-
esting facts about the purity of oleomar-
garine.
The committees vote on the question is
reported to have been very close, and one
member said that if the question had been
on the enacting of law for the prohibition
of the sale of oleomargarine it would have
been negatived, but as it was for the repeal
of a law which had only been in active
operation since the decision of the Supreme
Court on the subject six months ago, the
committee did not feel justified in acting as
it would have liked to. In fact, the question
was considered by the committee as much
from political as from a chemical or bust
ness standpoint

ONE THING THEY CAN'T KNOW.

Banks Not Always Able to Tell inst When
They Will Fail.
rFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
HARRISBURG, March 14.-The Senate
Banking Committee this afternoon consid-
cred Senator Newmyer's bill making it a
misdemeanor, punishable by fine and i'm
prisonment, for any bank official to receive
deposit within ten days of the bank be-
coming insolvent. The committee thinks
it might be difficult matter at times for a
banker to know to day in advance that he
was going to become insolvent, and unless
Senator Newmyer can explain the matter
to their satisfaction, next week, the bill
will be negatived.
The committee will make favorable re-
port on the bill to extend the charter of
State banks.

cent of Violating the Law.
Ed. Morris, the celebrated pitcher, and
William Kuehne, the third baseman of the
Allegheny club, who are the proprietors OF
billiard room on Federal street, Allie
gheny, were before Mayor Pearson last
evening. They were charged, as has been
stated, with operating a poker room in the
rear of the billiard parlor.
Last week when Chief of Police Kirsch-
Ter and several officers entered the room
they found several men playing cards. All
were arrested and Messrs. Morris and
Kuehne put under bail for hearing.
A number of witnesses were examined,
but it could not be proven that any gam
bling had been done and the defendants
were discharged. The Mayor stated that he
had ordered the raid because. he had re-
ceived an anonymous communication which
informed him that a poker game was in
operation every night at that place.
Mr.. Kuehne made statement under oath
that he never played poker, did not under
stand the game and derived no benefit from
the room occupied by some of his friends
for card playing. 1t was brought out that
some professional gamblers who had been
refused the privilege of playing with the
private party had caused the anonymous
letter to be written.

The Action of the United stntes Court in
Dakota Territory.
BISMARCK, OAK, March 14.-The opium
smuggling case was continued in the United
States Court here last evening. In the case
of Curran, the old man arrested for trans
porting the opium from Canada to Dakota,
the jury disagreed, standing eight for acquit-
tai and four for conviction. Curran then
changed his pleading of not guilty and
pleaded guilty to the charge of facilitating
in the transportation of the opium but not
to Intentional wrongdoing.
After conference with the attorneys the
case against Curran was dismissed and sem
tence on the charge to which he pleaded
guilty was suspended. Leonard, the Den
yer man, to whom the opium was consigned,
was sentenced to seven months in the peni-
tentiary. 1t is believed that the action in
the case of Curran means that he will fur
nish evidence which will lead to the arrest
of the entire gang, which has been engaged
in smuggling opium for years.

THE ATTICA SLEEPER.
Her Remarkable Case Puzzling Her Physi-

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
ATTICA, March 14.-The case of Mrs.
Emma Althouse, the sleeping wonder, be-
comes more puzzling as time passes, for she
is still alive and hardly as feeble as she was
two weeks ago. Then she was given up as
dead, to all intents and purposes, and re-
port was circulated that she was dead. Last
evening when the correspondent of The DIS
PATCH called at the little two-and-a-half-
story cottage at the top of the Bennington
Hill, few rods from the postoffice, he was
met by the sleeper's sister, Miss Katie Toms,
who was rather reluctant to talk about her
sister.
emma is very feeble" she said. "but is
able to whisper to her attendants, and the
rigor has relapsed so that she can move her
head and hands, although it is not possible
for her to sit up yet. Indeed, she has not
risen from recumbent posture in over a
year."
Her present condition is almost that of in
animate life.

CRANE WAS LEFT.

Crane, through an unfortunate misunder-
standing missed the train by which the others
went out to the ground, and was unable to ar
rive until the third inning, up to which time
Petit and Tener alternately played in the field
for their opponents. Once the teams were
completed the game went forward to the salts
faction of everybody. The hitting was not
very free, as Healy and Baldwin both had their
pitching clothes on and were able to fool their
opponents without much trouble.
All America led off with a run in the first
and another in the second innings, but the Chi
Cages scored two runs in the third inning tying
the game. In the seventh inning Chicago led
by one run. The game was decided in the
eighth and ninth innings. when the All Ameri-
cas-, by happy succession of hits, knocked
out two and one runs respectively. The char
acter of the game may be judged from the fact
that the All Americas had but one error and
the Chicagos but two.
DINNER AT BRISTOL.
The boys will leave at 9 o'clock tomorrow
morning for Bristol. They will be entertained

after which the boys will return to London in
order to be here for the game on Saturday on

urday, Crane and G. ]. Bonner, the celebrated
Australian crickerer. will throw the cricket
ball. Crane, who broke the record in Australia
in January, has been put forward by Spalding

have been altogether extraordinary, is the
only one who has thus far come forward in
response, although the event is open to all
cumers. Every evening of this week has been

of various sorts. Here is to-day's full score:

nation in the window glass trade is not
credited here Ex-President Isaac Cline,
of the Window Glass Workers Association,
in his official report for the Budget this
week says there are 491 pots in the Western
district, and of this number 399 are in
operation. In the Pittsburg district there
are 391 pots and only 80 are idle.
The report yesterday stated that there are
1900 pots in the Western district and $50
are idle. Mr.. Cline says there are 1,107
pots operating in the country and 202 are
idle, showing decrease of %, compared
with last weeks report.
1t is stated that the stock of window glass
is smaller now than year ago, and although
prices are not what is desired it is the manu-
facturers' fault, as they are cutting rates
and selling at almost any price.

CHICAGO, March 14.-Judge John NJ.
Thurston, of Omaha, who was temporary
Chairman of the National Convention which
nominated General Harrison, said tonight:
"I am not disappointed in not being made a
member of the Cabinet. For while was
inclined to think that could be of service
to the Northwest as Secretary of the Inte-
rior, and if had been made anything that
is what would have liked, but suppose,
if for no other reason, my connection with
railway interests was sufficient to prevent
my selection"
Judge Thurston added that there is no
office which General Harrison can now offer
him that would be any inducement for him
to leave his present business, and that, after
all, he is rather glad he was not made
member of the Cabinet. The Judge is re-
turning from Washington. He leaves here
tomorrow for his home in Nebraska.
