ASHLAND, Ore, Nov. "A man who
answers very closely the description of
Charles B. Hogg, alias Burton, wanted
at San Bernardino, California, for forg-
ing bank checks, was arrested at Ash
land this afternoon for committing a
like forgery upon bank here. He has
every appearance of being q shrewd and
skillful worker in the forgery line, and
in his rooms were found blank checks of
various banks from Texas to California.
The cashier of the bank of Ashland
cashed one ON an eastern bank
for 5000, presented by Hogg
and Endorsed by Rev. F. G. Strange Of
this place today. but he became sus-
picious of the signature of Mr.. Strange,
and upon investigation found that it had
been forged. The forger had coolly re-
mained in town. He was induced to
return to the bank and pay back the
money until he could have the check
further endorsed. Upon leaving the
bank he seemed to fear that he was sus-
pected, and Immediately started to walk
out of town, but was overhauled before
he had gotten far, by officers. The San
Bernardino county sheriff has notified
the sheriff OF Ashland that he is wanted
there.

MRS. MAYBRICK,s CHANCES.
The Question of Her Guilt to BE Argued
in the Civil Courts.

The Question of Her Guilt to Be Argued
in the Civil Courts.
LONDON, Nov. 2.-In the court of
appeals the Maybrick case commenced
today. Sir Charles Russell, in opening
his argument, said the appeal raised
most important question. The plaintiffs
for whom he appeared were the execu-
tors of the late Mr.. Maybrick, who had
effected an insurance of $4,000 with
defendants insurance company, in favor
of his wife, Mrs. Florence d. MAVERICK,
now confined in the Woking Jail. The
defendants, counsel said, had paid on
account $1,000 of the amount claimed,
but they refused to pay the remainder.
In support of this refusal, he said, the
defendants submitted that the convic-
ton of Mrs. Maybric was not conclu-
sive. Continuing, Sir Charles said the
plaintiffs submitted that her sentence
being commuted was not evidence of
her innocence. The real question was
whether Mr.. Maybrick, having effected
policy in favor of his wife, died at her
hands. The ex-attorney-general then
proceeded to cite authorities in favor of
his contention.
The present appeal grew out of a
judgment given July Goth last, in an ac-
tion brought in the interest of Mrs.
Maybrick against the insurance associa-
ton to recover the $4,000 insurance
upon her husbands life. The court
then decided that as Mrs. Maybrick had
been convicted of having murdered her
husband, she could not recover the
amount for which his life was insured,
as his death was caused by poison ad-
ministered by the one for whose benefit
the action was brought.
A day after this judgment was rem
dered, high legal authority made the
assertion that the life insurance associa-
tion's refusal to pay Mrs. Maybrick the
insurance on her husbands life, on the
ground that his death was caused by her,
would enable the convicted woman to
bring out in civil action facts not in
troduced in the murder trial, since she
could compel the insurance company to
prove that she murdered her husband.
This high legal authority is said to have
based his opinion on the fact that
according to English law, conviction
was not proof between other parties,
but only between the prosecution and
the prisoner.

A SUIT FOR WAGES.
Sailors of a Sealing Schooner Sue for
Their Pay.

Sailors of Sealing Schooner Sue for
Their Pay.
SAN Francisco, Nov. PA suit has
been filed in the United States district
court by L. w. Thomas and W. F. Nc
Cornish, against E. D. Jones, for the re-
coyery of wages due from the sealing
schooner Sylvia Handy. The complaint
states that the men shipped from San
Francisco in January, 1887. Thomas
was to have one-eighteenth of the
profits of the catch of the vessel, and
was to receive additional compensation.
McComish's wages were to be one-seven-
teenth of all the moneys made on the
voyage. The men claim that they
were left at Sitka by the cap
tain against their will, and COM
PEELED to get to San Francisco
the best way they could. The catch OF
the schooner during that time was 1854
seals. The skins have been sold, and
$962S was realized. Thomas claims as
his portion $916. McComish claims
$137, less $35, which he has been paid.
July IL, 1890, by virtue of vinditioni
exponas, in the suit of Frank John
son and others against the ves-
eel, the schooner was sold and
brought $3.50, which was deposited
in the registry of the district court.
Jones stated in court that he was the
assignee of the owners for the benefit of
the creditors, and the balance was paid
to him. The sailors believe he still has
this money, in addition to the $9628, the
net receipts of the sale of the sealskins,
and they pray the court to award them
their wages and expenses.

The Price Of Coal,

A gentleman who has given much
thought to the price of coal said to me:
"The owners of anthracite coal hope that
when householders return to town in Oc-
tober they will lay in their full supply of
coal for the winter. Now. if household
ers do this, they will simply play into the
hands of the coal barons and make the
price of coal higher. The sensible thing
to do is to purchase from hand to mouth
instead of filing their cellars.
THAT would result in the large COM
panies being compelled to carry along
great quantities of coal and would gradu-
ally reduce the price of this much needed
article. The earnings and the income Of
people nowadays are on the decrease,
and an excellent way to curtail house
hold expenses is to force down the price
of coal to the level it ought to reach."-

LANDLORD cRANsroN IN TROUBLE.
The New York Hotel May BE Closed In
Foreclosure Proceedings.

Judge Patterson, of the Supreme Court,
has granted permission TO the New York
life-lnsuranca and Trust Company as re-
ceiyer, to bring an action against henry
CranstOn, proprietor Of the New York Hotel, 20
fOrecluse chattel mortgage on the furniture
and other effects in tho hotel, says the New York
World.
Tho plaintiff Is the successor OF John JAY who
was appointed receiver OF tho hotel in February,
1885, In "a suit by Eleanor X. Jay against Mary
Elizabeth Field, widow and eKecutr.X OF hcS-
son w, Field, the owner OF the hotel property.
In 1855 Mr.. Jay executed "A lease OF tho hotel 10
Cranston for six years at an annual rental OF
S44, 900. At the same tIme CfanstOn executed
TO Jay a chattel mortgage on tho furniture and
effects in the hotel as security for the rent.
Mr. Jay served as receiver until September,
1859, when tho plaintiff was appointed. CrRnston
has pad considerable money ~ the receiver, but
is now said % owe $4,000 for rent. IL Is alleged
also that there are judgments aggregating
81, 800 against him In favor Of other creditors
that he has no money 10 pay his debts, and that
the only property ne has consists OF tho lease and
tho good will Of the business, the latter being oi
considerable value. A sale under execution
upon the Judgments would interfere with aud
probably close the hotel. Fearing that the
Sheriff might levy on the property covered by
the chattel mortgage, the foreclosure proceed
ings have been Instituted. The receiver has
notified the Sheriff not 10 sell any OF the pro
perty included 10 the mortgage.
