CHARGED With FORGERY
Francis Wilson and Oscar c. Hin
ton Held by the Police.
An Alleged Confession That They
Have Dealt in worthless Paper in
Philadelphia and baltimore rs
Wei as wnshipgton-Accu
That They Tried to steal n Watch.

Francis Wilson twenty years of age,
and Oscar C. Hilton, aged twenty-seven
years. who were arrested late yesterday
afternoon by Detectives Miller and Peck
and locked up at the Second precinct sta
ton, will likely be surrendered to the
Philadelphia authorities. Several charges
of false pretences are entered against the
men in the Quaker City, as is also the
case in Baltimore. Pending the completion
of arrangements, the accused will remain
in custody here.
1t was on the complaint of Mrs. Mary
Evans, who resides at Ais Fourth Street
northwest that the men were taken into
custody. At the Evans home, Wednesday
night, the men are said to have presented
a check for $50, in payment for the rent
of a room which was engaged by them.
While Mrs Evans was considering the
propriety of cashing the check, and while
she was absent from the parlor, Wilson
is said to have taken a gold watch from
a table near the door. Within few min
utes Mrs. Evans returned, and with others,
she accused Wilson of taking the watch.
After a brief parley the watch was pro
duced. Somebody called the police after
the accused had left the house, and with
a description of the men, Detectives Mil
Ter and FeCh n0ally located THEM anu toOh
them into custody.
At headquarters. where the men were
examined. Hilton claimed to be reporter
on a New York newspaper. He said he
left New York about one month ago,
since which time he had been in Phila-
delphia and Baltimore. He was closely
questioned, as was Wilson, but little could
be learned until the men were searched.
In their possession were found -four
checks, three of which were on local banks
and one on the United States Fidelity and
Guaranty Company, of Baltimore. The
latter was for $40. 1t was signed by J.
w Palmer President, and made payable
to J. H. Gillardon. The checks on the
local banks included one for $3.50 on the
Union National. signed A. G. Hancoms,
and payable to A. G. Hancoms; one for SIG
on Woods G. Co.. signed William Oscar
Roome, and payable to a. G. Spencer, and
one for 1850 on the Union National,
signed by Francis E. Gallagher, payable
to o. C. Gallagher. In addition. several
blank checks on banks in Baltimore, Cam
den. n. J.; Chambersburg Pa. and Ty-
rome. Va. were found in the possession of
the men.
When the checks were found the pris
oners admitted that they had been pass
ing worthless paper in Philadelphia and
Baltimore. They said they arrived in
Washington Wednesday night, and began
at once to work on forged paper. A dis
charge from Company B, First Illinois
Volunteer Infantry, found in the possess
sion OF Hilton. revealed his correct name.
Inspector Boardman yesterday afternoon
communicated with the authorities at
Baltimore and Philadelphia, informing
them OF the arrest of Hilton and Wilson. j

LIGHTS ON THE BENNING ROAD
Naphtha Lamps to Be Replaced by
Incandescent Globes.

Walter C. Allen, the Electrical Engineer
for the District, recently recommended 10
the Commissioners that the naphtha lamps
on Benning Road, between Fifteenth
Street and the racetrack. be replaced by
ineandescent electric lights, TO be erected
on the poles Of the Columbia Railroad.
The reasons advanced by the engineer in
favor of the change are that the naphtha
lamps are of less candle power than the in
oandescent lights, and that owing to their
exposed position on the low ground near
the Eastern Branch they are frequently
blown out by the wind.
An arrangement has been made with the
Potomac Electric Power Company to fur
nish ninety lights at the rate of $3.50 for
each lamp per annum, and the plan has
already received the approval of Commits
sioner Wight and Captain Beach.
