CLEVER FORGERS IN JAIL
The Two Sharpers Who Beat
the Nevada Bank Out
of $4,000.
Arrests in Philadelphia Which Have
More Than Ordinary Local
Interest.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April %. =
Charles Becker and James C1egan, we'll
known forgers who were arrested here on
Saturday last as suspicious characters,
were to-day served with a writ of foreign
attachment for the recovery of $4,000
which they are alleged to have secured by
means of a forgery from the Nevada
Bank and the Crocker- w oolworth Bank
of San Francisco. The men are said to have
raised a draft drawn on the Crocker-Wool-
worth Bank by a Woodland bank from
$12 to $4,000, and to have deposited
it in the Nevada Bank from which 500 900
in gold was subsequently withdrawn. The
draft was dated Decem Der 13, 1895, and
was originally purchased by ]. H. Dean,
who secured the $50, 600 after the document
had been altered. 1t is said Becker and
Cregan are well-to-do. They were COM
mitted Monday in default of $4,000 bail for
further hearing. 1t is believed that Frank
l.. Seaver, who is under arrest in ST. Paul,
implicated them in the California affair.

Speaker Byers of the iowa House of Repre-

Client

DIES MONIES, Iowa, April 22-Speaker
II. w. Byers of the Iowa House of Repre-
sentatives was nearly murdered last night
at his home at Harlan. He had acted as
attorney for Colonel A. r. Jack and they
had just settled their accounts.
Jack sent for Byers to come to his office,
which he did. Arrived there, Jack, who
is about twice as large as the Speaker,
locked the door, put the key in his pocket
and announced there was going to be
trouble. He presented Byers check for
$50 and demanded that the Speaker
sign it.
Byers refused and Jack assaulted him.
He threw the Speaker down and pounded
him viciously. Byers became insensible
as result of the treatment and Jack be-
came fearful that he had committed
murder. He desisted from the punish
ment and went away. Byers was cared
for and taken home. His face was badly
bruised and his back wrenched, but it is
understood the injuries will not be dan
gerous,

THE PRESIDENTS M|SHAP
An Accident That Caused Wild
RumorS to Be Scattered
Broadcast.
One of His Horses Stumbled, Fell and
Kicked Dashboard and Lamps Out
of the Carriage.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 22.-Short-
ly after dark this evening a disturbing
rumor was in circulation to the effect that
while President Cleveland was driving to
his Woodley residence, after leaving the
Executive Mansion this evening, his car
riage came in collision with cable-car
and that the President had been thrown
out and had received serious injuries.
Inquiries were numerous from all dlrec-
tions, but in little time information was
obtained from officials closely associated
with the President that the only founda-
ton for the widely spread story was that
as the Presidents carriage was being
driven along U street, near the outskirts
of the city, one of the horses stumbled and
fell, causing the other horse also to lose
his footing. The animal kicked yigor-
onsly, broke one of the lamps of the car
riage and also broke the dashboard and
ruined the harness. The President did
not Immediately alight, as the coachman
was quickly on the ground and olsen
tangled the animals from the Victoria.
Hon. Gardner G. Hubbard was driving
along the road and seeing the plight the
President was in stopped and rendered his
carriage to the President, who accented a
seat in 1t and was conveyed home in time
for dinner.

STILL Talk OF WAR.
The London Papers Again Assume Bel
Ggerent attitude on the venezuelan
Question

LONDON, Eng, April 22.-The st. James
Gazette says: The revival of the Vene-
zuelan question reminds US that even the
wars In Africa are trivial compared with
the real danger which has existed in the
West since December. The American de-
mand that the United States shall decide
our quarrels and settle our frontier is in
admissible, and no amount of talking
around the matter will make it anything
else. President Cleveland last Decem ber
referred everything to a special commits
sion, and when it was too late attempted
to negotiate. We are now told to be pre-
pared for report that is hostile to the
claim of Great Britain. What will happen
then? There is reason TO believe that an
attempt will now be made to work upon
English feeling in favor of surrender of
our Government. This is vain. Our posi-
ton is simply that British frontier ques-
tions are matters for negotiation with the
parties concerned.
The Globe says: All hope of a weak
kneeo compliance of Great Britain with
the views of the United States are ground
less.
The Westminster Gazette says: There
was no reason why Lord Salisbury should
have rejected the proposal for joint COM
mission.
