Kansas City, March 16.-Mrs. Pru-
dence Smith and Mrs. Jane McNutt,
who Monday night last raided
Eaton's joint in Armourdale, were
yesterday fined by Police Judge Nc
Camish $25 each. The judge offered
to grant stay of execution if the
women would promise to desist from
joint smashing, but their answers did
not suit him and he let the fines
stand. Nora McNutt, daughter of
Mrs. McNutt, was discharged, the
court holding that she was irrespon-
sible, having been guided by her eld-
ers. Judge McCamish declared there
was no law in Kansas that sanciA)ned
the destruction of private property
by a citizen. An appeal was taken.

st Ends with the Death of Caesar NEO-
reno, in Washington.

Washington. March 13.-Caesar Mo-
reno, for years a familiar character
Oh the streets and at the Capitol,
died here Tuesday from a stroke of
paralysis. He had a picturesque
and adventurous career. lie had Wis
tied nearly every civilized portion of
the globe and claimed several rulers
as his friends. For the past few
years he had led rather a precariOus
existence in this city. He was a
native of Italy, saw service in the
Crimean war and while in Sumatra
was instrumental in a movement for
melting the natives to revolt against
Holland. Later he was sent TO Ton
quin by the French government in
some official capacity and thence
drifted to China, where he organized
the first steamship company under
the Chinese flag.
Shortly after the civil war he land
ed at San Francisco and was success
full in securing the enactment of laws
for the protection of coast fisheries.
In 1872 he organized a trans-Pacitic
cable company in which Hon. Leland
Stanford was interested and finally
a charter was obtained from congress

cost $l0000,O00. He again went to
the Orient and subsequently came to
the Sandwich Islands, where he
gained the confidence of King Kala-
kaua.
The king, angered at the refusal of
the cabinet to approve loan OF ST.
100000 by the Hawaiian government
for the building of the proposed
cable, dismissed the members and
selected four new counsellors, More
no being designated as prime min
lister. Moreno carried things with a
high hand and after five days of pow
er was forced to give up the position.
He was still favorite with the king
however, and the latter secretly
commissioned him as minister to the
United States and every court in Eu-
rope, but his commission was soon
revoked. He had lived in Washing
ton since 1882 and was about 20 years
old

EXTENSIVE FCRGERlES.
They Are Said 10 Have Been Found
in the Accounts of Bank Ofiicials ae
Niles, Fifch., and FreepOrt, Pa.

Niles, Mich, March 13.--C. \. John
son, cashier of the First national
bank, is still missing. Business is at
a standstill here. Director Stevens
has returned from Chicago, but
could not find Johnson. President
Lacey admits the directors do not
know Johnson's whereabouts. The
statement that Johnson is short
500, 900 was repeated to President
Lacey last night and he would not
deny it. When asked if there was
shortage he hesitated, He finally
said he would not talk about it.
Johnson's physician says when the
latter's nephew disappeared rom
Plankinton, S. d., year ago, that
johnson was bordering on insanity
for several days, as he feared Kim
mel had embezzled large sum for
which he (Johnson) would be held
responsible.
Freeport Pa. March 13.-The mud
die in the affairs of the Freeport
bank. which has kept the town in a
state of excitement for week, will
probably be cleared to-day when the
directors say they will make a pub
| lie statement of affairs.
~
| that the shortage had been definitely
placed at $25,052. When young c. d.
| Ludwig, the boolikeeper, disappeared
| last week it was thought he was re-
| sponsible for the defalcation. but
when the father. Cyrus, who was
| cashier. disappeared on Monday and
was found late at night at a DESERT
ed fishing camp. the first belief was
| h., SC
| that the father is to blame. if any
one is, for the shortage. The elder
| Ludwig has made over to the bank
directors all of his property.
Niles. Mich, March 1.-THE direc-
| tors of the suspended First national
bank yesterday filed a declaration
| against Charles \. Johnson, the miss
| ing cashier of the bank, alleging that
| forgeries amounting to 100000
| against leading citizens of this coun-
| ty have been committed by him. 1t
was found that there was great
quantity of forged paper held by the
| institution. Bank Examiner Selden
filed papers with the county clerk at
st. Joseph attaching all of Johnson's
property, but it will not cover the
| shortage by many thousands. No
trace of Johnson was discovered.
OF the forged paper found $4,000
was against l.. w. Wilkinson, of St.
Joseph. member of the abstract
| firm of Dixon q Wilkinson, which did
large business with the bank. \
| petition will be sent TO the comptrol-
Ter of the treasury asking him to APP
| point some local business man receiv-
er of the bank. SO many local man
ufactories and business firms are en-
barrassed by the suspension that it is
| vital TO the town that the banks af-
| fairs be settled with all possible
! speed. The funds of both the city
and county are tied up in the bank
and all municipal business is prac-
| tically at a standstill,

A DISASTER AT BOSTON.
The Daily Advertiser Office Is
Badly ScOrched.
BEGAN In THE PRESS ROOM.
Flames Shot Up Through the EIeva-
tor Shaft 10 the Top Stories and the
Three Victims, All of Whom Were
Proof Readers, Were SunOcated.

Boston March 16.-Three lives sac
riticed, nearly a dozen men more or
less injured and many thousands of
dollars damage were the results of u
fierce fire in the Daily Advertiser and
Record seven-story granite front
building in Newspaper Row last
night. The dead are:
James Richardson, proof reader, of
Boston.
Judson Craft, proof reader, of
Cambridge.
Walter Luscomb, proof reader, of
Salem.
How the fire started is not known.
but it was first seem in the press
room and it spread to the elevator
well and darted to the top so rapidly
that before the occupants of the two
upper floors were aware that the
building was on fire, their rooms
were filed with flames and smoke.
In the editorial room on the sixth
floor there were but five men. All
had to run for their lives. On the
upper floor, occupied by the compos-
ing room, were Is compositors and
proof readers, whose situation was
most critical. Panic-stricllen, they
rushed for the windows leading to
the fire escapes and all but three of
them succeeded in gaining the roof
of an adjoining building.
Long ladders were raised as quick
ly as the network of electric wires
over the street would permit but
before a ladder could be placed in
position the men had dropped
through a sllylight in the building
roof and reached places of safety.
Except in the press room in the base
ment there was practically no fire in
the building below the fifth story.
No one was in the press room at the
time the fire started except the fire
man. who has not been seen up to a
late hour.
1t took three hours of work to
drown out the fire. The three vie
Tins, all proof readers. were sutfo-
Gated before they had time to reach
the fire escapes. Those who found
the bodies were obliged to jump sev-
eral feet to the roof of the adjoining
building. and in this way quite a
number of them sustained INJURIES.
