COPENHAGEN. Sept. IS. An American, who
registered as John Harris, visited tho leading
hotel In this city on Saturday and asked for and
got the best rooms in the house. He then
ordered an excellent dinner. with which he had
several bottles Of champagne. The suspicion OF
the proprietor OF the hotel was raised by the
fact that Harris had no baggage, and after the
dinner he presented his guest with a bill. Har-
ris said he had no money. but was waiting for
his wife, who had his baggage and money.
The proprietor did not believe this story, and
thinking tho man intended to swindle him he
summoned q detective. who asked Harris . num-
Der Of questions. Harris then said that his
name was Joseph. not John, as he had regis
tered. The detective then consulted the police
records. remembering that the American police
had in 1894 notified the Copenhagen authori-
ties that q murderer named Harris had ned TO
Europe.
Tho description of the murderer Tailed with
Joseph Harris, and he was taken into custody.
The police arc now awaiting q cable despatch
from New York, having informed the police
there that a man who they suspect IL the ono
wanted in America Is In custody here. It 10
stated that a large reward Is offered for the Ar
rest of the murderer Harris.

The stock in the store was insured in forty-eoven
companie.. and Harris. who was in the frm.
negotiated the settlement with the companies.
He offered to settle for Sl40 0oo, but the ad-
~iusters declined to advise settlement at this
figure. An appraiser was appointed by each
side. and they submitted tho result Of their In
vestigation TO an umpire. who awarded SOL
279.6 Ga to Siede & Co. The insurance companies
then began an Investigation. which finally led
to the arrest Of Isaac Fucker and many other
frebuss. On June II, 1885, Harris loft his

and afterward to Boston. but managed to elude

ria. On Dec. % last the authorities here re-
