TRYING TO WORK THE Banks.
Some Shre,gd Schemer EbotIs Operating on
Il Large Scale.

Admission, Ala, September 11.--(Spe-
cial "A very shrewd scamp is working a
nice scheme to victimize the banks OF Ala
bama. He has hit upon II new plan, but
so far as is known his efforts have all been
in vain His method is to forge a draft on
some New York bank, send it to bank II!
some nearby town to have it cashed, ana
request the money to be sent him by ex-
press.
Yesterday the Security bank Of this city,
received Il draft for 81 300 on the Fourth
National bank. of New York, by LOUIS
Vile bank, and payable to W. f. Wllllalns,
or order. Williams sent letter requesting
the bank to send the mo1ey TO MN NJ
lronton. Ala. where an agent OF his would
get it for him.
There was striking similarity between
the writing in the letter and the signature
to the draft, which fact aroused the sus-
picion of Cashier Brown, who wired to tne
Louisville bank before honoring the dralt'
to know if it was good. The answer came
Immediately that no such person was
known to them.
Several Alabama banks have recently re-
ceiyed New York exchange similar TO this,
with requests that they be cashed ana tne
money sent by express. The matter mas
been placed in the hands of detectives, VINO
are now working on the case.

forty others, three OF whom nave siiice
died. . ,-o
Passenger train No. 131, due to leave
Boston at 1915 o'clock p. M, started on
time. When West Cambridge Junction
was reached the engineer found 1t heces-
sary. owing to the dense fog, to run close
to the cross-overs in order to see II ne had
the right of way from the signal tower,
which is located close by. HE passenger
train was said to be five minutes late, ana
about the same hour the local passenger
train from Waltham, scheduled to leave
there at 1870 o'clock, was due at West
Cambridge Junction also. The west-bound
train which left Boston had come to a l'!il
stop in order that the eaSt-bound tram
from Waltham, which had the right OF
way, could pass that point before 1t crossed
over to the Watertown branch. Nhlle
standing near the croSs-ovcr, the express
freight train. which was bound west, came
laundering along, and just as the passen-
ger train started to cross the WATERFOWL
branch the freight train crashed INTO the
rear car OF the passenger tram, WIN the
result above described.
The rear brakeman of the passenger
train. who shortly before the accident was
sent back about six hundred feet to notify
the engineer of the freight train of dan
ger ahead states that he went back, as
directed and signaled the freight train, and
his signal was answered by two whistles,
which is the usual answer that all signals
have been seen and noted. The reason
for the collision, he feels sure, was that
the engineer of the freight train could not
control bis train, which was of thirty cars,
the greater part of them containing l'm-
Der, all very heavy. Most of those on the
passenger train were residents of places
on the line of the WatcrtoWn branch, and
