CLEVER FoRGERIEs.

Trenton, N. J., Nov. 27.-It
has just been learned that
through a series of clever for
gerics Drexel & Co., of Phila-
delphia, have been swindled
out of 5000, and another brok-
er of that city of $500.
The scheme was worked in
this way: A letter purporting
to have come from William
Balderson, a reputable farmer
of Fallsington, was sent to the
First National Bank Of Tren-
ton, inclosing three notes to
Baldersen'S order, and asking
to have them discounted and
placed to his credit. This was
doAe by the Board of Directors
last Wednesday, and word to
that effect was sent to Balder-
soa. He came to the bank
Saturday and disclaimed any
knowledge OF the notes. Mean
time, on Friday a stranger had
gone to Drexeis with a check
for $500, apparently signed by
Balderson. The brokers tele-
phoned the First National and
asked if he was good for the
amount. An affirmative reply
was received. Next day the
check came to the First Ma
tienal, through the usual me
dunn. and Baldersoa, being
there at the time, pronounced
it a forgery.
The other check for SAoc
had been negotiated with a

ward passed to the Manutact-
urcrs' Bank, of that city, COM
ing to the First National Bank
to-day, with Balderson's sigma
ture. The two checks, aggre-
eating $1,000, were within $50
Of the amount Of the three
notes originally asked for dis
count. AS the First National
has not cashed either, the loss
will fall on the Drexels and the
other Philadelphia broker who
first honored them.

HOLMES SUPERSTITION.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 25.-
Howard Perkins, superinten-
dent of Moyamensing prison,
who committed suicide by
shooting himself, had charge
of H. II. Holmes, the murder
er, during his incarceration in
Moyaniensing prison and. SUI
perintended the arrangements
for his hanging. Superstitious
persons are speaking of him as
another victim of the arch-crim
malls evil eye. Linford L.
Biles, foreman of the jury that
convicted Holmes, was killed
by electricity. Dir. Nation OF
Philadelphia, who was a wit
ness against Holmes, died sud
denly. Mrs. Anna Harvey OF
Chicago, who lived in Holmes
castle, committed suicide. The
girl to whom Mr.. Rotan, Of
Holmes counsel, was engaged
died suddenly. At least a doz,
en- persons who were interest
in the conviction Of Holmes
have met with death or acci.
dents or misfortune.

DR.. hansen ana the North Pole.

The announcement that was made in
Fridays dispatches that DIR. Nansen, the
Arctic explorer, had reached the North
Pole, and was returning, did not excite
much interest among scientists, for the
reason that they did not believe it was
true. Arid they are still inclined to the
opinion that it had no foundation in fact.
The name of the ship in which DR.. Nan
sen started in search of the North Pole
was the Fran, a small but exceedingly
stout vessel. He sailed from Christiana
June a. 1898. Since December of that year
nothing has been heard from him. AL
legged reports from him, or about him,
have appeared in the newspapers, but
as far as known they were not true. Last
April a Paris paper stated that he had
found the North Pole, and that it was
situated in a chain of mountains. Last
September it was stated that a ship, sup
posed to be the Fran, had been seen in
the ice drift near Sermilek Point. off the
coast of Greenland, and in December last
1t was alleged, in a cablegram, that Dr.
Nansens wife had received a letter from
him by a carrier pigeon. There is good
ground for thinking that all these stories
were pure Inventions Where did DR..
Nansen get a carrier pigeon? He took none
with him.
DIR. Nansen had a theory as to the best
way to reach the North Pole, and he in
tended to act in accordance with it.
Whether he found it correct or not will
never be known, unless his expedition re-
turns. There are Arctic explorers who
think it is not correct, and that he has
accomplished nothing. However, what
they say is simply speculation. They are
not in position to say whether or not
it is correct. They have this in their
favor, namely, nobody knows anything
concerning the North Pole and the region
about it. All that is said about that un-
known region is mere speculation.
It would be very gratifying if the an
nouncement that DR.. hansen had discov-
cred the North Pole should prove true.
but there are not likely to be any demon
strations in DR. Nansen's behalf or in
the behalf of any other Arctic explorer.
until it has been clearly shown that the
purpose Arctic explorers have had in view
so long has been accomplished. 1t is prob
able that we shall have several more
canards before we shall hear anything
| definite about Dr. Nansen
