A FORGER CAUGHT
w. L. Eppinger Once More
in the Tolls.
He Is Charged With Passing
Forged Check Upon M. Ma.
lone of Fourth Street.

W. l.. Eppinger, who gives his occupa-
tion as a publisher. was arrested yester-
day by Detectives Seymour and Whitaker
and booked at the Central police station
on a charge OF forgery.
On Monday last Eppinger entered the
store of NJ. Malone, % Fourth street, pre-
sented check No. As. drawn on the Bank of
British Columbia of San Francisco for $50
and purporting to have been signed by NJ !.
Howell & Co.. asking that IL be cashed by
Malone.
Malone told him that he did not have the
money. but rather than disappOint Eppin-
ger he went to the store next door aud got
the amount. which he handed to Eppinger.
Eppinger promised 10 call next morning
aud redeem the check, but as he failed to
do so Malone went TO the bank and pre-
sented the check for payment, but was in
formed that no such firm as NJ. Howell IL
Co. had an account there. Malone at once
placed the matter in The hands Of the po-
lice. followed by Eppinger's arrest.
Eppinger denies in the most positive
manner that he ever passed such a check
upon Malone, but Malone is just as posi-
i've that he is the man who passed tile
check upon him and identified him In the
prison yesterday.
he has an office at 40 Third street, and
is getting uD a blue book called the Elite
of California" as an advertising scheme
for the Midwinter Fair. 1t is almost
reproduction of the book of that name
published by the Bancroft Publishing
Company. which he has been selling on
commission for the company along with
''The Worlds Fair Directory" also pub
Iished by them. He has drawn consid-
erable sum from them on orders for these
two books. which they found to be fraudu-
lent.
The police say he is an old offender in
the forgery busiuess and has given them
no end of trouble. II is only abnut three
or four months ago that he got free on
charge OF forging the name of W. w. Mon
tague TO check. Judge Wallace tried
The case, and after the police had got all
their testimony in his attorney raised the
point that the complaint was defective,
inasmuch as it gave tie name of the COM
planning witness as Nj. NJ Montague
whereas IL should have been w. w. Mon
tague. The Judge had no other recourse
but to dismiss the case.

New YORK. Nov 16-A special 20 the
Mail and Express from Washington says:
There is as much mysteryln regard TO the
Presidents flying trip to New York to-day
as there was yesterday, but il is pretty
well understoo that it was for the settle
ment of personal financial matters, which
have been shaken up owing TO the object

II has proven a boomerang. During the

dent lost $780, 900 in Chicago Gas, and his
visit yesterday was to transfer property to
cover the loss
WASHINGTON. Nov. 16.-President Cleve-.
land and Secretary Lamont arrived from
New York at Q'rlock this morning. The
President was driven at once to the White
House. He has not looked in better health
since his first inauguration. His step is
firm and elastic, and his appearance Is un-
usually cheerful. The President at once
retired to his private Office with Secretary
Thurber, and all visitors were excluded.
The reticence of the employees of the
White House In regard to the Presidents
Newly oTk visit ever since his return has
led TO all sorts of rumors as to Cfeveland's
health, among them that his jaw is dis
eased and that: he went there for surgical
operation; but his appearance certainly
Indicates nothing of the kind. Persons in

vent to New York to consult his party
friends and incidentally to look after scme

Secretary Lamont authorizes an en-

President went there in conn ection with a
real estate speculation, in which they are
said to be engaged, declaring that they are
not engaged in any. =: .

Mertes could handle with any degree OF
success. he gave Bernhard more than he
had barRained for. however, and after
clumsy exhibition of squeeze and break
away the referee announced time,
which meant that the middle-weight ana
the lightweight must meet again after the
regular allowance o rest.
Conlon and Kohler of the lightw eight
class met again to decide the question, OF
supremacy. They had previously wrestled
a draw"
The bouts had been so tamely con-
tested that at this juncture more than
half &C the spectators had left the
gymnasium satisfied that wrestling and
boxing are not TO be compared when it
comes TO a question of public interest and
attraction. After most tiresome display
of grabbing and squeezing. without the
least bit or science shown by either con-
testant, time was called and the celeb
rites were sent to their stables. The
judges decided. so as to cut off furtner sus-
pense. to give the bout TO K0hler.
The nexI was a meeting between Z. t..
Wilson of the Olympic and j. G. William

by Wilson, who slapped he Acme CLUB

KNIGHTS OFLABOR
Report of the Work of the
Year.
THEY COULD NOT PAY DUES.
Why There Has Been a Falling Off
i'm the Revenue of the
Order.

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 16.-The report
of the general executive board of the
Knights of Labor is given out this morn
ing. 1t opens with review of the year. 8
work and justification of the boards course
as follows:
1.-THE past year has been one of trial to
organized labor. When your BOARD has
been appealed to and asked fer their ad-
vice in cases of despair or when reduction
of wages has been proposed by employers
they have felt it their duty 10 counsel
caution and conservative action even in
instances where. in justice. demand for
increased wages or resistance of a proposed
reduction would have been proper and
right.
''The steady stream of immigration
which, In spite of restrictive legislation,
continues TO flow TO the shores Of this
continent makes il comparatively easy for
employers to fill the places of striking
workmen. In addition labor has had this
year to reckon with the tact OF financial
panic and with Industrial depression.
The cause of the panic is a question
that would be Improbable to here discuss.
Whether 1t was occasioned by the opera
tion of the so-called Sherman act, as some
assert; by the uncertainty regarding tariff
legislation, as others MAINTAIN; or whether
it w9s part of a deliberately planned con-
spira v, having for its object the doubling
of the value OF the worlds funded debts
through con traction of the worlds money
which would he inevitable in consequence
of the decentralization of silver. as increas-
ing numbers believe-need not here be dis
cussed."
Reference followed to the report OF the
secretary-treasurer and the falling-nff Of
the per capita tax. This was ascrbed not
to falling belief in the orders principles,
but to sheer inability of mem bers to pay
dues.
The row in the ranks of the Knights of
Labor continued with great bitterness to-
day, and tonight there were no evidences
of an amica BILE settlement. Bitter addresses
were made by a. Wright and John Devlin
of the general board, disclaiming Hayes
charges. Wright accused hayes of having
false system OF bookkeeping. and said
that If any unlawful expenditure was
made it was owing to that fact. He in
TINA ed that Hayes had been carried away
by his enmfty TO Pnwderly to extent of
deliberately falsifying the accounts so rs
TO mislead the delegates.
Tomorrow the executive board. it is said,
will formally demand Hayes resignation,
and Hayes will have to produce docu-
mentary evidence to back up h.s charges
before the General Assembly.
A strong effort is being made to save the
organization 10 order to make il pivot in
the proposed consolidation with other
labor organizations. That Powderly aims
10 be the head of the amalgamated orders
there is no doubt.
The important questions referred to COM
mitrees to-day were the amalgamation OF
all labor bodies into one powerful organi-
zation. and recommending political action
on the part of org anizad labor.

evening on the ranch of Francois Guile
min, about ten miles north of this city, a
Chilean. whose name was unknown. was
accidentally shot aud instantly killed by
Guillemin. an aged Frenchman who has
lived there for the last twenty-three years.
There was an alteration in which the
Chilean appears TO have been the aggressor,
and Guillemin got bis shotgun to protect
himself. A struggle ensued and the gun
was discharged. doubtless by accident, as
claimed. Guillemin ran for aid to the near
est neighbors. about quarter of mile
distant.
Several persons returned with him and
were Mortified to find the body burning like
a strawpile The gun was so close to the
Chilean when discharged that 1t had
igniIed his clothing, which was entirely
burned off the body, which was complete

diet it was set aside by Judge Shaw, who
declared ii was contrary to the evidence.
The decision OF Judge Shaw created

arduous one. Judge Shaw during the trial
cut off large amount Of the claim by de-
