This City.

Through the persistent and untiring ef
forts of Inspector Louis H. Hollinberger,
one OF the mJss expert and dangeroI Is bogus
check workersin the Uniyed states mas been
captured by the police OF Hartford, Conn.
and the inspector received d telegram last
night from the chief OF police Of that city
announcing the arrest.
The prisoner is crook OF many aliases.
His right nameis T Watkins, but he mas
been variously known ia the different cities
ia which ne worked mis- schemes as c. II

Watkins used new name for every thiev-
ing JOB he engaged in, ald it is believed
he has even more aliases than those men
toned. After his crooked work here last
December Inspector HO.iinbergeT determin-
ed 70 rJH the fellow Jwn, and he mas been
relentless in his efforts, which We're Ie-
warded yesterday, when the Hartford POI
lice took the slippery Watkins into custody.
He is badly wanted here, and efforts will
atonca be mad 70 have ne pri isOner 5Tudght
to this city for trial, although the aUthOri-
ties OF Springfield, Mass, say they have the
first claim on him, ana have made requiSi-
tion for him.
watkins was not wanted in Hartford,
his arrest being only the result Of n trap
Inspector Hon.EfC!IoI ijG set and haited
for him. He has been indicted by the
grand jury here for false pTetenses on
three counts.

Iogus checks in various cities for SICO
each, drawn on the state National Bank,
OF Boston, and signed 10y W. HCmans
and j. n Cunningham on two checks each
and on five by f. NJ. Howe.
For a while Watkins operated with the
EO-oTious Baron Schelilia, who also got
of bad checks here. Inspector Holm
bergeT's persistency in following up the
'5aIol'' finally compelled him TO fly from
this country to Europe. Schelilia passed
a check here for S1OO, drawn on the First
National Bank, Of Worcester. Mass, made
payable 10 F II Russell, and signed by
Henry b. Russell.

THEY OBJECT TO EHE DUMPS.
Columbia Heights sCitlzens Will In
vestigafe the flaws.

The Columbia Heights Gitizc- ) Associa-
ton took a look into the future at its meet
ing last evening, and 1t Is safe to predict
that If there is not an Improvement in the
executing OF the sanitary laws of the Dis
trict in that section before summer, the
residents will know the reason.
Almost the whole session was occupied
In the dusclssion or plans looking TO the
enforcement OF the sanitary law Of the
city, prohibiting promiscUous dumping, and
the drainage OF malaria breeding pools
The subject was brolgm up by Mr.. E. G.
,Jeffries, who offered "a resolution asking
for the appointment of n special committee,
whose duty it shall be TO prevail upon
the prSoer authorities toputa stop to the
dumping Of refuse on lots along Sherman
avenue and other localities named.
Several OF the members spoke on the sub
iect 1t was the consepsIs OF opinion that
the only way to stop the practice was to
proceed against the property owners who
permitted it.
Judge B.ndy gave an Interesting account
of the kind of justice dealt out III the po-
lice courts in such cases.
The following gentlemen were appointed
IN investigate the laws in reference 10

MIR. BAYARD BANQUETTED.
American Amba ssador the Guest of
London'S Lord Mayor.

London March 3-The farewell BAN
Quct, Civen 10y tie loId mayor Of LonCcn
in lou,r OF Ambassador Bayard, took
place last night in the Egyptian Hall, the
principal part of the Mansion House, the
Official residence Of the loId mayor. The
guests included ambassadors, the cabinet
ministers fIom Lord Salisbury downward,
peers of the realm, members of the House
of Commons, and Leading representatives
OF science, art and literature. The music
was rendered 10y specially selected or
chestra. which played American national
airs during the interval betw cen the
toIStS, which were few, but folcible.
Mr.. Bayard made lengthy speech, the
only point OF which was his statement
that he upheld Lord SaliSbury's Cretan
policy. He lauded England in his usual
fulsome style.
After loving cups had been passed around
toaSts To the royal family and the Presi-
dent OF the United States were honored.
The Lord Mayor then toasted Ambassador
Bayard, whom he greeted, not only as
the distinguished representative of the
greatest republic the world had ever seen,
but a. brother in blood, who had shown
a lofty appreciation OF English institu-
tions He recognized in him an eminent
juriSt, q polished diplomat, a charming
scholar and an accomplished orator.
When Mr.. Bayard rose to reply he was
vigorously cheered.
He dwelt at length upon the kindred
duties of the United states and Great
Britain as the pioneers of human progress,
based upon liberty, and upon the conse-
Quent necessity of fostering such mutual
relations as would enable them best to
fulfill those duties. He alluded to the
vanished glories of the Mediterranean
nations which were formerly the centers
OF the worlds civilization, but which now
presented the ghosts thereof. This object
lesson was never palmer than at the
present moment, when the peace of Europe
was in jeopardy through lack of those
qualities OF force and purpose, forming
the living grandeur of his country and that
Of his listeners.
He declared in the presence of those
who were perfectly able to contradict
hlIn that there was not a question between
the peoples of the United States and Great
Britain that justified a serious contro-
versy of any kind. He could not see a ques-
tion Of international danger OF difficulty so
long as the natural impulses of the two
nations were not sourcd and perverted. 1t
was to prevent such souring and perverson
that he had come to England, and he
had labored continually toward this end.
The ambassador referred appreciahvely
to the AnGlo-American arbitration treaty,
and said that unexpected causes might for
time prevent the acceptance of the
treaty, but he could not doubt but that
the arrangement would be ultimately
made.
