A VERY BAD YOUNG MAN.
The Supposed Tascort Will Serve a Term
Upon His Own Account.

PHILADELPHIA, October 31.-Albert
Sutherland, the young criminal who re-
Gently gained considerable notoriety be-
cause of his resemblance to Tasoott, the
murderer of Millionaire Smell, of Chicago,
was given another hearing in magistrate s
court to-day on charges of passing forged
checks for various amounts on trades
men in this city. j. R. Wood, gen.
eral passenger agent of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, was the
principal witness against him, four
checks bearing that gentleman's name hay
ing been passed by Sutherland. The court
room was packed to suffocation with curl
osity seekers anxious to catch glimpse Of
the criminal. The magistrate held Suther-
land in s., 800 bail on five charges.
Word WAS received here to-day from
Buffalo that Sutherland is wanted in that
city Tor passing forged checks, etc., and
Detective Wood says that information in
his possession leads him to believe that the
man is wanted in many other cities on the
same charge. The prisoner to-day told the
chief something of his family history. He
says his name Is Will A. Brown and he is a
son OF james A. Brown, Chicago railroad
man. he says his father had secured his
release from the Columbus penitentiary on
pardon from Governor Foraker and sent
him West to look after some mining inter-
ests. Th1 young man soon tired Of West

away and came East

House Statistics.
The feature Of the local monetary situation
yesterday was decrease in the checking ac-
count, as shown by the exchanges The cause
of this was attributed to falling off in de-
posits, resulting from wet weather. Many Of
the largest depositors are old and rheumatic,
and will not leave their comfortable homes
when "the skies are melting In tenderness"
The demand for funds was moderate, and rates
were unchanged. Pittsburg still has money
enough for itself and considerable to spare.
All acceptable paper is readily cashed.
The exchanges were 8, ,92250l "a and the
balances $23l, ,613 g. For the month the ex-
changes were S64, 240, ,765 go balances, s95lO,-

Concerning the apprehension about money.
President j. Edward Simmons of the Fourth
National Bank, New York, said yesterday:
Money is active, but by no means stringent,
and funds are in very plentiful supply at from,
to per cent. 1fully expect to see healthy
year, but according to my judgment there will
be no stringency. Neither merchants nor bank
ers will find any difficulty in getting accommo-
dation. On the contrary, money will be plent1-
full enough for legitimate purposes, but there
is no reason to believe that it will be as cheap
as it has been in the past. The cotton crop will
soon begin to move, and this will cause re-
hux movement The situation is healthy
enough, no matter what the croakers may
say"

The oil market was bullish at the opening
yesterday on expectation of a scarcity with

as follows: Opening, 81 O6sz; highest, 81 073<;
lowest, 81 O534; closing. 81 O69s. There was
some trading in December at Il to &c above the

One Of the bull points early in the day was

noon in anticipation of more Ur less squeezing

News from the Washington field was to this

starts at the Johnston well and extends north
through the Achison gusher is gradually being
defined; the only course being left is to go di-
rectly south of this place. Gibson 4 Co. IS well,
on the Greer lot, has been drilled in the sand.
The William Smith well on the Trinity
grounds, struck streak yesterday and since
then has made several small flows. Oil men
report that the Hamilton well will be small,
