FORGED DEAD WOMAN.S NaNE
James ;. Williams Defrauded the
GOHernment on Pension Naucherx

James 5. Williams, venerable real estate
agent and notary public of New York CITY.
was convicted at the United States circuit
court IN that city yesterday afternoon after
trial lasting three days charged with
having defrauded the government of tho
united States out of the sum of s432 Inv,
forging the vouchers and checks of Gather
inc Franklin, a deceased widow pensionar
Mrs. Franklin died February %. 1885 ana
prior to that date. from September. 1884
mad been in the habit of executing her pen-
sion vouchers before Mr. Williams and also
OF having Mr.. Williams cash her checks
The defendant claimed that some one had
peen lmpersonating her to him since her
aeath, but the evidence showed that he
had executed fiftytwo vouchers for her be-
fore she died and had cashed about fifty of
her checks, was well acquainted with her
and had visited her at her house 1t was
also shown that he had forged fiftv-four
signatures of the Identifying and attesting
witnesses.
As the defendant is seventy-nine years of
age and claimed to be practically deaf and
bllnd there was considerable sympathy ex-
pressed in his behalf, but in spite of his al
legged blindness he was able to readily iden-
TRY the witnesses as they walked into the
court room. fifty feet from where he was
sitting, and while on the witness stand his
hearing was observed to be very acute
when the answer to any question asked was
favorable to him.
There were eighteen counts in the indict-
ment and 1t took the jury but few min
utes to decide that he was guilty upon all
of the counts.
According to the evidence presented the
only genuine signatures to the papers pur-
porting execution since the death of Mrs
Franklin are the signatures of Mrs Ellen
j. Ham, who testified that she had writ
ten them and also that she had resided in
the same house with the defendant for
eleven years and had acted as an Identify
inging witness to twenty-one of the wild
ows pension vouchers while she was in life.

MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL
Colored Institution to Be Built on Site
Originally Selected.
The Protesting Residents and Prop
COmmissioners Today.

The colored manual training school will
as the District Commissioners decided sew
eral days ago, be erected on the south side
of street between 1st and 81 streets. in
square 553, notwithstanding the protests Of
properly owners and residents in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the proposed school
1t Will be recalled that at a hearing given
by the Commissioners Tuesday last Mr..
Geo. r. Hamilton, representing number Of
the property owners and residents. asked =
on their behalf that some other site be
lected. 1t was asserted by Mr. Hamilton
and others at the hearing that the erection
OF the SchOol on the site selected by the ,
Commissioners would greatly depreciate the :
value of property In its vicinity. The views
of the Commissioners in the matter were
expressed today in the following letter to I
Mr.. Hamilton:
Referring to the objections presented byS
and on behalf of the owners of property in
the vicinity of ? street between 1st and Sd
streets northwest to the purchase of GER
tain property on the north front of square
l53 as a site for a manual training school,
building for the cOlored schools, the Gem,
missioners are of the opinion. that, having
agreed ~ purchase the site at the price,
famed for it. they cannot now decline to,
complete the purchase. Judging from the
large number of proposals received for
property, the Commissioners are also of the
opinion that even if the matter were pend-
ing instead of concluded to an agree
ment to buy 1t would be impossible to4sscurai
another site so desirable for the purpose at
so low figure. While the Commissioners
regret that the adjoining property owners
and those represented by them should feel
that their property will be deprecated or
injured by the erection Of this building.
they are of the opinion themselves that the
estimated damage is greatly eXaggeratd.
The Manual Training School is not in itself
: Objectionable as some of the other
schools and experience has proved that
many of these anticipated objections are
not nearly so serious in reality as II was
supposed they would be. The Commission
ers sincerely trust that such may be the,
case in connection with this matter"

FIGHTING ON LUZON ISLAND
Operations of the First Nebraska Reported
by Col Stotsenburg.
Reconnaissance by SerHt. Poor Led
to an Engagement at the
WaterwOrks.

Among the reports of field officers in the
Philippines received at the War Depart
ment is that of the late Col. Jno. NJ. Stotsen-
burg, 1st Nebraska Volunteers, afterwards
killed at the head of his regiment. This
particular report is sent forward by Gen.
Hale. in explanation of the action of Feb
ruary II at the waterworks, which the Ne
braskans were guarding. A rather unusual
feature in the way of official reports is the
inclusion by Col. Stotsenburg in his own
communication of a report from one of his
sergeants named Walter Poor. who went
out on a reconnaissance with Corp. Boyn-
ton and four men, all of Company A, and
had a fight with a force of fifty natives
The Sergeant says that after his party had
gone out three and one-ha!f miles from
Mariquina they were discovered by the ma
tives. who were carrying a white flag. Not
withstanding this flag, the natives, running
into house. opened fire on the Americans
Tie latter halted under cover and, finding
that the natives were fianking them, re-
t eated. Two squads of insurgents were
encountered, however, blockading the line
of retreat. but the little force of Americans
charged them with such good effect that
they scattered the party, killed and
wounded three or four men and got through
the line, meeting the advance guard of
their own regiment coming to their sup
port.
Col. Stotsenburg takes up the story in his
own report and tells how, arriving upon
the scene he found 200 insurgents strongly
ntIenched. Seeing that it was impossible
to carry the place by direct attack, Hanklng
parties were sent out, and although the IN
surgents overlapped the American party,
the former were driven out. They made
two more stands but were further driven
and their organization broken up Their
wounded could not be taken in. but their
wounds were dressed by the Americans, 4
white flag was hung over them and water
