After Long Chase Joseph Ashforth Walks
Into q Trap.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1915 Special Joseph
j. Ashforth, the defaulting e1-Secretary
and e1-Treasurer of the Arcanum Building
and Loan Association of Brooklyn, who
fled to Europe last spring, in consequence
of shortage of more than $4,000, has been
arrested in Liverpool. A cable dispatch
announcing his capture was received to-day
in Brooklyn by Mirabeau L. Towns, the
lawyer for the association. Mr.. Towns and
Detective Sergeant Shsughnessey, of Brook
lvn, spent two months in Europe looking for
Ashforth, and returned few weeks ago
without him. The fugitive was traced by
them to several places in England, but
slipped away to the Continent before they
could get up with him. Before returning
home Mr.. Towns left a provisional warrant
for Ashforth's arrest in the hands of the
Scotland Yard authorities in London. The
prisoner will be taken to London, and as
the necessary extradition papers are in the
keeping of the American Legation. he will
be brought back to this country as soon as
Brooklyn detective reaches London.
Ashforth had been for three years the
Secretary and Treasurer of the Building and
Loan Association, and virtually managed
the concern himself 1t was not until after
his flight that there was any suspicion that
he had stolen its funds. Since his disap-
pearance the association has been reorga-
nized and is again flourishing. Ashforth
was accompanied by his wife when he left
Brooklyn, and both were traced to Milwau-
kee. Mrs. Ashforth subsequently, returned
to Brooklyn, and reported that she had lost
trace of her husband in the West. She
turned over to the association house of her
own, and made what other restitution she

LEPER OR IMPOSTOR.
A Supplicant for Aid in New Castle
Tells a Startling Tale.
ON THE ROUTE TO PHILADELPHIA.
He Says He Has Suffered From the Halady
for Several Years.
NEWSY NOTES FROM NEARBY TOWNS
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
New CASTLE, Nov. 19.-It is believed
that leper spent last night in New Castle,
leaving for Philadelphia on a morning train.
Just before tine departure of the Pennsyl-
vania morning train for Pittsburg tall
man, shabbily dressed and having his arms
muffied in a shawl, appeared on the plat
form. His face wore pinched and haggard
appearance, as if he was suffering intense
agony. He was noticed by several persons
in the depot, and glanced from side to side
as if desiring to ask information.
With great pain he drew paper from one
of his pockets and, spreading it out upon q
pine board, motioned the passersby to read.
A gentleman named Marshall, from Pitts
burg, glanced at the paper and was horrifed
to read:
am a sufferer from leprosy. I need help.
but beg of you do not touch or come near
me. am no impostor. If you coubt what
Is written will show you my arms. If you
have money to spare place It in this pa per,
and may God keep those who are merciful
to me.
Your correspondent asked the man several
questions, and the information gained from
him is as follows: He said that he was q
the past seven years, and now could not
make living. After the first year he en-
tered hospital, and in short time be-
Heved he was cured.
81 was dismissed from the hospital, said
he, ''and began giving music lessons in st.
Louis and Chicago. One year ago the dis
ease began to appear again, and now 1t is
terrible; just see here" and he barred his
arms.
The hands were of a reddish color with
yellow streaks, and near the wrists were
almost clear white. They were full of
pits that looked as if the f1esh had been eaten,
and at the wrist joints there were many ter
rible scars.
When further questioned, he said he was
on his way to Philadelphia, where he had
formerly been treated, and where he hoped
to be benefited. He had come from Erie
the night before, where a Catholic priest
had given him $40 and some medicine. He
absolutely refused to give his name.

Progress of the War Between Two Big
Railroads in Clearfield County.
CLEARF1ELD, Nov. 19.-[Spead Gold
weather has only appeared to warm the
railroad warfare in this county, and both the
Beech Creek and the Pennsylvania Rail-
roads go right ahead scheming and msneuv-
ering their thousands of men to the best
advantage. Both combinations are
daily employing every man who
asks for work, his work consisting
generally of barring some other
fellows way. Each side has been busy for
the past few days in the vicinity of West
Branch, where the Pennsylvania forces are
on top, having occupied every available
route through the town to Cherrytree.
Seeing this, the Beech Creek people, who
are backed by the New York
Central, marched their army Of
men on up past the place and
began running lines up Cushing creek,
the headwaters of which spring from Easy
Summit in Indiana county. This summit is
the lowest of the entire range.

Instesd OF an Acquittal Her Church
Brethren Will Find Her Guilty.
LYNN, MASS, Nov 19-[ [SpeciaL IA
sensational sequel of the Dodge-Andrews
scandal has developed. Last summer Mrs
Lizzie A. Dodge, of the Helping Hand Mis-
sion, publicly thrashed DIR. John B. An
drews, local physician, for alleged
slander. The affair created wide
spread comment Mrs. Dodge's mission
for several years has been to save women ON
the road to ruin, and in the performance Of
her chosen work she has accomplished a vast
amount of good, her influence with erring
womankind being remarkable, and many
women now leading honest lives owe their
position to the efforts of the lady whose own
honor has been now impugned. When Mrs.
Dodge thrashed DR.. Andrews she justified
her action by stating that it was the only
means in her power of securing justice. Both
are members Of the Baptist Church, and Mrs.
Dodge was promptly summoned to appear
before the society to explain her conduct.
She was arraigned before the deacons, the
accusation embodying the charges of un-
truthfulness, profanity and conduct unbe-
coming Christian.
The defendant was not apprised of the
identity of her accusers. The church officers
met her request for their names by the state
ment that 1t was deemed inexpedient to
bring any more members of the society into
the scandal Under pressure Mrs. Dodge
consented to stand trial, and the matter was
thoroughly investigated. Mrs. Dodge
had anticipated an honorable ac-
quittal, but it now appears
that the committee of investigation will
submit report to the church parish to the
effect that the evidence sustains the charges.
The parish will take action upon the report
tomorrow evening, and the probable result
will be the expulsion of Mrs. Dodge from
the Baptist denomination. When she
learned of the decision she was prostrated.
She will appeal to the Massachusetts Bap-
,tist Association.

RHINELANDER, WIS, Nov. 1.-TWO
men, who last evening finished up long
drunk by going to one of their homes and
emptying pint bottle Of whisky, which
contained 20 grains of morphine, died from
the dose this morning. One Of them, named
William Houston, was a man of family, and
the other, named William Brown, was q
single man, boarding at Houston's house.
The morphine was purchased at local
drugstore yesterday by Mrs. Houston, who
says that she has been addicted to the
drugs use for years. She dissolved the 70
grains in a pint OF whisky and set it on a
shelf, where her drunken husband and his
companion found it. Immediately upon
finding the bottle empty this morning she
undertook to rouse the two men, but one
was already dead and the other soon e1-
pired. A Coroner's jury will thoroughly
investigate the case.

covered this season new blackberry which
grows luxuriantly in the mountains of Ran

it new to science and named It in honor Of

CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-If the Executive
Committee of the Columbian Dairy Associa-
tion has a say in the matter, William II.
Gilbert, of New York, will be the General
Superintendent of the working dairy
exhibit during the Worlds Fair.
Mr.. Gilbert was unanimously homi-
mated for that position to-day at a joint
meeting of the committee, and delegates
were appointed by various dairy and cattle
associations
The meeting was called primarily for the
purpose of appointing committee to draft
rules for the governing of the working
dairy exhibit, and resolution
was adopted that the represen-
tative of no association which
had not signifed its intention to engage in
the contest of exhibits, should be appointed
to draft rules. This was done to head
off the Holstein men, who are some
what dissatisfied with the way things
are going. They have been making an un-
successful effort to have the milk tested by
chemical analysis instead of by churning,
and are on the outside of the fence on this
account.

PARKERsBURG, Nov. 19-[Special +
The Clouston trial took a queer turn to-day.
After the evidence of the State had shown
that Clouston had sold illegal witness cer-
tificates the defendants counsel made
motion to exclude all the testimony of the
State on the ground that the evidence did
not show that Clouston got gold or silver
coin or treasury notes for his certificates,
but got only check. The Court overruled
the motion. The defense introduced no
testimony. and will ask an acquittal on the
alleged failure of the State to prove the
fact stated in the Indictment. According
to the evidence Clouston secured witness
to sign blank certificate, then filled it in
and sold it.
