peror Francis Joseph so popular among

Herr Sikel. Hungarian deputy, after
growing gray in the exercise of his parlia-
mentary duties, thought the time had
come when he might fairly ask for n post
under government as the reward of his
services. Accordingly he called on the
premier and delicately preached the sub
ject. My dear fellow" exclaimed Bar

Chandler Criticises Olney.

Senator Chandler said that the state
ment by Secretary Olney was extraor-
binary. Before a resolution is reported
from the committee he said. ''before it
is passed by the Senate. before it is
sued a statement saying: IF you pass
it by both houses, it will be vetoed: if
passed by two-thirds majority over the
veto it will be defied. 1t is the most
startling proposition coming from an of
ficer."
''Worse than Andrew Johnson said
Senator Wilson, who was then sitting
by.
yes, worse than Andrew Johnson
assented Senator Chandler, land cabi-
net officer issuing such a statement
should be subjected to severest censure.

the President will not carry out the ex-
pressed will of two.thirds of Congress is
most reprehensible''

NO CLEW TO The FORGER
Police Discover His Dodge, Which
Is Brand New.
Servant and Thus Secured the
Necessary signature.

While the detectives of the central office
will not abate their efforts to discover
the clever, unknown check swlnd!er, VINO
has made several people his victims, as
told in The Evening Times, OF yesterday, 1t
is probable that be will escape uncaptureu,
aud is doubtless already plying his pro
fession in other cities.
This Jim, the Penman,' is one %! the
shrewdest men with WI hom the local senths
have had to deal in many day. Aires aly
two OF his victims have been found, but
the police refuse to give the uane In
either instance. Owing 10 the fact that
in both of these cases the forgery was
not discovered until several days after Ii
was committed, tits not unlisely that the
fellow made other victims who VIII he
heard from in the future.
His manner Of operating is interesting.
TmA IN one of the victims, physician,
the dcctives got a fairly good description
OF the man. He is OF rather handsome ap-
pearance, middle agcG and neat dresser.
He is an expert penman.
In the case of the physician the crCoR
called at the family residence one day last
week and represented that he was the
agent OF new perfumery and soap inni-
Ills company was placing its goods in the
stores, he said lie would leave a sample at
tie kitchen door When discussing the
merits OF the new stuff with the servant
lie suggested that he would see that the
family grocer was supplied.
tthIs point, as was the case ut the phy-
sician's home, he asked the servant II
there was not bill of goods from the
grUcer's III the house from which he might
| get the name. The uususpecting servant
| furnish he'd the bill with the grocer's letter
| head at the top, and the spurious agent
| went away.
The next afternoon he returned IN the
neig ghborhood and calling colored boy.
| represented that he was the doctor in
| question and asked him to take a note
| 20 the grocer, whose name had already Y
Dcen secured. With the note was chcc r
| for S35. drawn on the National Capital
| Bank. The check had the PHI ysician's name
| at the bottom and was drawn in regular
| .urm in every particular. The acc ompany-
ing note was apparcuy in woman's
| hand and asked the favor of having the
| check cashed in order thata c. o. d. pack
| age might be paid for.
| The grocer casied the check andit passed
| through several hands before reaching the
tank. In the second instance that has
| been discovered exactly the same tactics
| were pursued. The check was drawn and
| cashed for the same amount, $50.

statement he said that the Commissioners

company 10 compel them to comply with
the act Of Congress. He gave the est
mated cost of running the road by horse
power us 13 cents per car per mile while
Oh the other hand ne estimated that the
cost of the compressed air motors would be
about cents per car per mile, while the
company III ITS present financial condi
ton could not by any means construct an
underground electric system.
The report then went on to speak OF the
necessary amounts To equip the roads with
the cars. II is stated that the cost of the
plant for the Belt Line will be greater
Than similar equipment for the Ecking-
ton line, because for the former there
must he purchased boilers aud stack. The
amount necessary for equipment Of the
Belt Line he estimated at S74,775, of
which O,625 was for actual purchase
money, 81, $50 for interest on tie money,
and S: 800 for the construction of founda-
tion, AIR well, etc.
COST OF EQUIPMENT.
The present lexington powcr-house would
be used for the plant for that line and as
1t already contains boilers and stack, they
would not have to be purcha sed The
placed at 500 625, interest AZ 81 ,G53, and
foundation, well, etc, at $1,000, or a
total of $50 ,T75.
Having furnishe this statement Re =
ceiver schoepf then began the considera
tion OF the means to raise the money for such
equipment He said there Were two meth
obs by which the sum could be raised
under authority Of the court and one method
by the voluntary action OF the stockhol olders
aud bondholderss Under the first head
he mentioned the issuing of receivership
certificates and legal cali of the unpaid
subscriptions to stock and the application
of said sum to the equipment.
The third method he designated as the
voluntary contribution Of the money by
stockholders and bondholdcrs. After care
fully considering the question he had de-
cidcd, however. that to issue receiver GER
'iiicatcS would bc tie better plan, because
tUen the unpaid subscriptions could he
