KING OF sWlNDLERs CAUGHT.
Emmett Gibson Has BuncOed People
Out of 100000.

New York, Oct. S.-The police say that
Emmett C. Gibson, also known as George
A. Sherin, who was arrested yesterday
and is now prisoner at police head
quarters, is the most accomplished bogus
check and hotel swindler in the country.
Gibson, according to the police, has
succeeded by means of forgery, bogus
checks and dealings in stocks and bonds
and plying his wiles upon frst-class no.
telkeepers, during the last four years, in
getting and spending in the neighborhood
of 100000. Among his victims, accord
ing to Police Captain McCloskey, are Hen
ry Clews and John Wanamaker. The po-
lice had been getting complaints from
different first-class hotels in this city for
many days back. Bogus checks were laid
down by Gibson in payment of board
bills. The checks were honored in almost
every case, their worthlessness only COM
ing to light when he had made himself
scarce. Complaints reached headquar-
tiers from the police officials, both in east
ern and western cities, and the police rec
ognized Gibson's handiwork.

LARGE EXPORT TRADE.
For the First Full Month Under the
New Tariff.

Washington, Oct. S.-The bureau OF sta
tistics has issued the table showing the
exports and imports for August, the first
full month under the new tariff law.
These figures show for that month the
largest exports of domestic merchandise
of any August in the history of the gov
ernment The exports were $79,49O 264,
against $66,6S9,9Sl for August, 1896. For
the first eight months of the year the
exports were $6l $4,000 in excess of the
first eight months of 1896, so that the
bureau officials believe that the exports
this year will far exceed those of last
year, which was its record breaking year
in the matter of exports. The value of
all imports for August was 500 ,S48,3 l2, of
which $lS,629,607 We're free These fig
ures show decrease of about $4,000 900
below those of 1896. The decrease was
due to heavy reduction in the importa
ton of raw wool, which decreased from
4,65l 900 pounds in August last year to
2,S77,S77 pounds last August.
