PERSONAL AND POLITICAL

On the 9th word was received of
the death of Jonathan Clark at his
plantation, Fruitland, Fla. Mr.. Clark
was pioneer citizen of Chicago, and
is said to have erected more buildings
in that city than any other man. The
decedent was born in England 70
years ago. Death was due to heart
disease.
What physicians regard as one of
the most difficult skin grating opera
tons ever performed has been com
pleted in Chicago. On the body of
tive-year-old Marion Weaver PIG
square inches of skin has been graft
ed. The operation took five months,
as the surgeon could operate only ev-
cry fortnight, owing to the low state
of the boys vitality. The new cuticle
covers the patients chest, abdomen,
back and sides.
Mrs. jefferson Davis will visit Jack
son, Miss, to greet the last legisla-

coast, will be purchased by the state
and converted into a home for indi-
gent confederates.

COLOSSAL FORGERIES.
Record of the Transa ctions of Amos
Gould swelling in Volume
and Amount.

Lincoln, Neh., Feb. S.-A Journal
special from David City says:
Forged paper sold by the defunct
Platte Valley Bank of Redwood has
already reached an aggregate of
$15Oooo, and it may largely exceed
this. Customers of Cashier Amos
Gould from Laporte and Michigan
City, Ind, are here, and claim that
in every instance the notes and mort
cages held by them are forgeries.
Real estate mortgages have been
forged, including the certificate of
filing and recording, giving hood and
page, while this week several chattel
mortgages also forged have been re-
ceived by banks and attorneys here
for collection.
Gould, it is charged, kept private
book, where he had record of all
forged notes, the amount of each,
and the date of maturing, and when
one of those notes matured he would
replace it with another forged note
and pay the holder the interest.
Gould, it is alleged, claims that had it
not been for the blowing up of the
bank safe a short time ago, by which
his private book, where he kept a
record of all the forged notes, was
destroyed, he would not have been
detected and he would be still run
ming the bank. The cashier and his
brother are still in Jail. The day of
their arraignment has not been set.

THE TRIP TO CHARLESTON.
Plan of the Visit if Not Called Of
at the Last Minute.

Washington, Feb. S.-The illness of
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., has changed
very greatly the plans of the presi-
dent for his trip to Charleston to
visit the exposition there. The trip
possibly may have to be abandoned
altogether, tut the present purpose
is to make g flying visit to the ex-
position, and to return Immediately
after the most important functions
in which it has been arranged for
the presidential party to participate.
No ladies will accompany the pres
idential party, owing to the absence
of Mrs. Roosevelt and the hurried
nature of the modified arrangements.
The president, instead of leaving
here Monday night, will not start I'M
til Tuesday morning. He will go di-
rect to Charleston and will take part
in the exercises of Wednesday and be
present at the banquet, and then will
return to Washington, reaching here
some time Thursday. The three cab
met officers who it was announced
heretofore would accompany the
president, Secretary Cortelyou and
stenographer will comprise the en-
tire party as now arranged.

Chicago, Feb. Sire broke out at
D a. IN. in the Sanford building, 50
Randolph street, occupied by Geo. T..
Watson, dealer in paints and oils, and
G. +. Rosche, pianos and organs. The
fire almost occasioned panic among
the tenants of the 12-story Trude
building, which adjoins the burned
structure, and among the employees
of the cloak factory of Marshall
Field q Co. The fire started in the
paints and oils of the George E. Watt
son Co., which occupied the first two
floors, and destroyed the stock of
Geo. f. Rosche & Co.. pianos, which
occupied the three upper floors. So
rapid was the spread of the flames,
and so dense the smoke that occu-
pants of the neighboring buildings
fled hurriedly to the street. In the
Trude building several hundred
pupils of the Chicago Business col
lege marched out in good order. One
woman, almost suffocated. was car
ried out by firemen, but soon re-
yived. Several small explosions among
the paints in the fire frightened spec
tators, and several firemen were hurt
by falling bricks. No serious acct
dents were reported. The damage to
the building and stock was about
100000.

the first available train will reach
Groton at 1888 a. m. Mrs. RooseveH
is accompanied only by maid.
The first information to reach the
president and Mrs. Roosevelt OF the
illness of their son was received al
the White House by telegraph at 9:2e
yesterday morning. The message was
signed by the president OF the college
where the young man is pupil, and
stated in effect that slight indls'
position had developed into an acute
and sharp attack of pneumonia and
that he was seriously ill. Another
message received during the cabinet
meeting stated that the young mans
temperature was 104.
Arrangements were at once set on
foot for Mrs. Roosevelt's departure
for Groton island yesterday after
noon, and since the first intelligence
was received the president has been
in almost constant communication
by telephone and telegraph with the
college faculty. According to the
earlier reports the sons condition re-
