New York, Sept. 2z.-oapt. Henry
". HowCate, formerly chief Of tho
weather bureau in Washington, was ar.
rested in this city to-day on the charge
Of forgery aud ombezzlcment Of $500, 900,
committed in 1878 and 1870.
The arrest is the result Of search
which has occupied the attention Of
the Unitod States secret service for over
thirteen years.
lIowgate was arrested in 1880 in
Washington, but. having obtained the
permission Of tho officers to 70 to his
room to dress. he escaped through the
window aud has sinco baffled all efforts
at recapture. With Howgate there
went notorious woman Of Washing.
ton, for whom it was alleged he robbed
the government Tho woman does not
now live with him, 1t being alleged
that she deserted him as soon al the
money was spent.
After having searched nearly tha
whole country for Howgate, ex-Sherift
ICEGANGu
tho fugitive was dealer in old books
and pamphlets in this city. Every book
store was visited by detectives without
success. Finally an officer was detailed
to watch the auction sales for Howgate.
About two weeks ago 1t was suspected
that tho fugitive was keeping an old
book store in the basement OF No. so
Fourth avenue, under the name Of Har-
vey Williams. Not being sure OF tho
mans identity, tho authorities in Wash
ington were asked to send man 10 tho
city who was acquainted with Howgate.
A clerk in tho Warde mouse, who bad
been formerly associated with Howgate
in the weather bureau. was sent here. He
met Howgate, but at first was uncertain
about his identity, as the latter had
changed considerably in thirteen years.
After engaging him In conversation the
clerk at length became convinced that
the man was Howgate and warrant for
his arrest was procured from Conmis-
sioncr Alexander.
Mr.. Brummond served the warrant
to-day in person. He mot Howgate
coming out OF store ut Fourth avenue
and Tenth street and said: "How are
you, Captain Howgate" u,
Tho latter started, but quickly re-
gaining his composure, asked Mr..
Drummond what he wanted. The do
tectivo told him. He answered: "All
right; tho jig is up. l am Captain
Howgato."
On being arraigned before Commits
aIonor Alexander this afternoon, How
gate said be would waive examination
and 60 back to Washington without
trouble. He was not in position. he
said, to furnish bail, which was fixed by
the commissioner at $4,000.
There are seven indictments ponding
against Howgate.

that you may demand that will not at
tempt TO knock you ont. In case COM
petent judges decide that am MOI in
