DIR. FERGUSON BROUGHT BACK.
The Man Supposed to De Governor
Moses Lodged in District Jail.

DR.. William A. Ferguson, who, there 10
reason to believe is no other than the
notorious Ex-Governor Moses OF South
Carolina, and who is wanted here on
charges of false pretences, was brought
to Washington from New York last night
by a United States deputy marshal, and
is locked up at the District jail. DR.. A
r. Stands and DR.. Frye, both Of this city,
will appear as compliments againt the
prisoner.
Early in November last Ferguson, as he
styles himself. appeared in Washington
and met Dr. Stands. He introduced HIM
self as DR.. Walter p. Porcher, a promi-
rent physician of Charleston. S. c., and
his identity was not questioned. Fergu-
son soon asked for financial assistance,
stating that he was awaiting funds from
hcmc. DR.. Shapds complied with re
quest for loan, and gave the prisoner
check for SO, which was cashed by the
later at a local drug store. Several days
passed. and Ferguson meanwhile met Dr..
Frye, from whom he borrowed a small
sum of money. Almost Immediately he
left the city, and shortly afterward it was
reported that his representations respect
ing his identity were false.
DR.. Stands informed the police of the
matter and Ferguson was arrested in New
York City on November 80. II then de-
veloped that he was wanted elsewhere on
similar charges to those against him in
Washington. Detective McNamce and DR..
Stands went to New York. where the lat
ter identified Ferguson as the man who
had swindled him.
hearing was had in New York and the
local police were successful in efforts to
secure the removal of the prisoner here
for trial. Pending transfer to Washing
ton Ferguson was confined in the Tombs.
His alleged identity as Ex-Governor Moses
became known through efforts made by
New York detectives to connect him with
other swindling operations elsewhere.

BORN WITH FULL SET OF TEETH



ALBANY, n. Y. Dec. IA few days
after the birth Of the girl baby OF Mr. and
Mrs. James Clark, Of this city, four weeks
ago. 1t was noticed that she was the pos
SCISSOR OF full set OF teeth just peeping
through the gums. She is not unlike other
babies except she will not have to pass
through the throes OF the teething Pc
Rod. The baby is bright, strong, and
happy
Last summer Mr.. Clark was about to
give friend money with which to buy a
set Of false teeth, when he met with finan-
cial reverses which compelled him 10
abandon the idea for the time. 1t is pre-
sumed that this reversal in the financial
condition OF her husband preyed upon Mrs.
Clark's mind. and that prenatal influence
set in. with the result that the baby very
soon after birth showed signs of having a
full set of teeth. Much comment among
local physicians has been occasioned by
the case.

IT'S COMING.
The Rock Island Railroad Ia Surely Head
cd for New Mexico.

A dispatch from Clayton, Union
county, says: The chief engineer Of the
Rock Island railroad arrived here this
morning with his corps of assistants en-
route for the Pecos Valley railroad.
In substance he said:
1--WE started from Liberal, Kan, and
surveyed the old line for about 100
miles to . point 20 miles east and
1s miles north of the southwest corner
of Beaver county, Oklahoma. There
we left the old line, which ran almost
due west and will travel in . southwest
direction till we reach some point on
the Pecos Valley railroad and then will
survey line to Liberal, Kan, and in
all probability will cross the Colorado
and Southern ut some point south of
Clayton. :,
"Do you believe the Rock Island will
construct this line soon"?
II see no reason why they should not,
and while there are three prospective
routes, l believe the line through
Clayton will be the trne one, - this is
the most direct route for the Cimmar0n,
Ute Creek and Red River valley coun-
tries."
1.-THE party will leave tomorrow for
the Pecos Valley country"
The Denver Republican also says:
"Denver will soon have . new line to
the City OF Mexico. The Rock Island
has sent out men to survey an extension
Of the road from Liberty, Kan, to
White Oaks, where It will connect with
the Ell Paso 4 Northwestern, now built
from Ell Paso to near White Oaks. The
Rock Islands line will cross the Colo
RADIO 4 Southern at Clayton. This ex-
tension would give the Rock Island the
shortest line from Omaha to Mexico.
It Is understood that the Rock Island
expects to bid for Mexican business
from Chicago, Omaha, Kansas City and
Denver and other cities along its lines. "
