TURNING THE TABLES.
The Instituter of Many Law Suits
jailed as a Forger.

The Instituter of Many Law Suits
Jailed as Forger.
WASHINGTON, March 19.-Dr. Harrison
Wagner, whose numerous and heavy suits
against the Adams Express Company, insti-
tuted in small county courts, have recently
attracted considerable attention, is
locked up in the police station
here to await the pleasure Of the
authorities of Stafford county, Virginia,
who want him on a charge OF forgery. Dr..
Wagner says that he was manufactures
of medicines of Frederick county, Mary
lana, and that he brought suits against the
Adams Express Company in Maryland,
Virginia, North and South Carolina for
failure to deliver his medicines, obtaining
numerous judgments by default of the ex-
press company, who failed to put in an
answer to the suits.
THE ALLEGED FORGERY.
A letter acknowledging the eompany's
indebtedness to him in the sum of 3 800 000,
upon which he based his suit to attach the
property of the express company, and the
signature to which, IL is charged, he forged,
he declares came to him through the mails
after he had obtained judgments against
the company. 1t was signed in the name of
the late President Dlnsmore, and although
the letter was postmarked from South Caro-
lima, and not from New York, the company's
headquarters, he nevertheless thought it
genuine. After waiting some time for the
money, he brought an attachment suit,
which has resulted in the attention of the
Adams Express Company being called to
the case and in the doctors arrest. He
seems to be a crank.

CIVIL SERVICE PLACES.

Successful Applicants From the South
Have a Good Chance.
WASHINGTON, March 19.-The civil serv-
ice commission has in course of preparation
circular of instruction for applicants for
appointment to the governmental service.
A considerable portion of it is devoted to
discussion of the question: "When may an
appointment be expected" In connection
with this subject, it is learned that while
the quotas of the several eastern,
northern and western states are
generally exhausted, those of the
southern states, especially in eligibles for
appointment for clerks, are by no
means full, the fact being, it is stated, that
competent clerks who can pass the necessary
examination from either Louisiana, Missis-
sippi, Georgia, Texas, Alabama Arkansas,
Tennessee, North Carolina South Carolina,
or Kentucky, are reasonably certain Of ap-
pointment
LUCKY ALABAMIANS.
During the last three years seventeen men
from the state of Alabama successfully
passed the clerkship examination. OF
these ten have received appointments, the
remaining seven having been certified but
not appointed. During the same time about
lvO men from Indiana successfully passed
the same examination, only five of whom
have received appointments. OF 150 from
New York about twenty received appoint
ments. Taking the appointments in the en-
tire departmental service, it was stated that
only one woman is appointed out of every
thirty who successfully pass the required
examinations

TRENTON, N. J., Nov. %. "A young man,
claiming to be the son Of Lord Elders, of
London, is locked up here charged with
being an imposter. He came here Tues
day out of money, and asked Farmer
Goecke for work until his remittance
came from England. Yesterday he
wanted flowers for the Thanksgiving
dinner, and the farmer came to Trenton
to purchase them.
The police heard of the case and ar

, WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-Representative
Dunnell, of Minnesota, chairman Of the
House Committee on the Census, has
reached Washington, and has called
meeting of his committee for next Tues
day to consider the Reapportionment bill.
Mr.. Dunnell has no doubt of the passage
of an apportionment bill during the
coming session. eve will have Repub-
lican quorum here" he said, ''to pass
this bill. OF that you may rest assured"
Under the Dunnel bill, framed upon
the idea that the population would be
Cd, 000, 900, the membership of the Fifty
third Congress would be 854, the ratio Of
representation being 1870, 900. As the CEN
sus has shown the population to be only
g. SOC, 900, there will be some changes.
Mr.. Dunnell il certain, however, that
there will ne no less than $50 members
under the bill, as he proposes to reduce
the ratio so as to secure that number.
"a great many leading men," he said,
"want 1856 members, and others are talk
ing of 400. am quite certain that we
will not stay at 332. Nearly all the
States are asking for more congressman,
and no member wants the number of his
constituents increased. He has enough
now to look after. do not see why we
should not have 900 or 700 members, like
the English House of Commons, and 1
believe the younger generation will live
to see that number"

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Nov. 27.-Mrs. Adam
Wuchter, the White Hall fasting invalid,
seems to be slightly Improving, although
She suffers excruciating pain almost con-
tinually and is pitifully weak. Her re-
markable case is becoming more than
ever an unsolved enigma to the Doctors
She still partakes of the juice of an
orange, and this appears to give her
strength sufficient to converse with
friends at her bedside. Hundreds OF
visitors come to the house daily to see
the famous faster. 49,
DR.. Calvin w. Sieger, her physician,
makes this statement, "The invalid wo-
man continues about the same. The only
visible improvement is that the convul-
sive movements have almost entirely dis
appeared and visitors can easily converse
with her. Her speech IL more distinct.
At times she will take few drops of
orange juice and also toasted bread. She
only allows the latter to remain in the
mouth few moments, and oftentimes
drops 1T when only slightly masticated.
This occurs but once day, and some
times only in q few days. When water
Is brought to her lips it produces violent
vomiting, which is followed by short
period of Inconsistencies. There are
also some organic changes in the patient
which are not apparently interesting to
the public" This is her 236th day with

Sitting Bull.

Commissioned by General Miles to See
Sitting Bull.
BISMARCK, N. D., Nov. 2s.-Buffalo Bill
has just arrived here accompanied by his
old pard Frank Powell, known as "White
Beaver" and R. H. Haslan, known as
"Pony Bear" who once rode 1903 miles in
8 hours and 10 minutes. Special convey
ances with relays were engaged to take
the trio to Standing Rock Agency.
Buffalo Bill has a commission from
Gen. Miles which is believed to be the
most important of any issued since
Sitting Bulls surrender. The party will
go direct to Sitting Bulls camp on the
Grand River.
1t will be remembered that Sitting
Bull did not come in on Saturday, regu-
lar ration day, but sent word to Agent
Mclaughlin that his child was sick. 1t
is believed that Buffalo Bill is sent out
to get at the bottom of the Messiah
craze, with almost unlimited authority
to act. This is Buffalo Bills first visit
to this section since the Custer massacre.

WRECK OF A BIG STAND.

Great Football Game.

UE9A6 TO0GO8A G8m0s
NEW YoRK, Nov. 28.-A distressing
accident, which, was fortunately not at
tended by any loss Of life, shed depress-
ing influence upon the Yale-Princeton
football game at Eastern Park, Brooklyn.
One of the big extra stands that had
been brought into service at the last mo-
ment collapsed, and all Of it's occupants
were thrown to the ground. At the time
the timbers gave way the seats were not
all filed, or else two or three thousand
people who were to have been accommo-
dated there would have been precipitated
from the structure, and fearful loss of
life would have been inevitable. -
As it was, three or four hundred had
taken their places on the stand, and Of
these only score were women. About
so persons were injured, and one may not
recover from the shock.
The police and ambulance surgeons
succeeded in gaining the names and resi-
denies of only eleven of the injured. The
mishaps consist of broken fingers, bruises
and slight cuts. The women on the
stand escaped with hardly q scratch.
Their clothing was torn and disarranged,
and several of them tainted. They were
soon revived, however, and left for home.
