AWAITS INVESTIGATION.
Stranger in Custody Whose Actions
Arouse Suspicion.

Frederick H. Faircloth is the name given
by a man who was arrested last night by
Detectives Helan, McNawee and Hewlett
and locked up until something of his iden-
tity can be ascertaned. His arrest was due
to complaint made by conductor on the
Pennsylvania railroad. 1t is said Fair
CLOTH as he gave his name, boarded the
train in New York, and his actions subse-
quently attracted the attention Of the con-
ductor, who telegraphed for detective to
meet the train. II
The train reached the depot and the man
was followed to a hotel, where he regis
tered and was assigned TO room. Upon
reaching the room, 1t Is said he seated
himself on a chair and sat there several
minutes with his head resting on his hands.
The officers soon afterWard Knocked on the
door, attracting the attention or the
stranger, who admitted them. He was
placed under arrest and escorted to police
headquarters, where he told several stories
concerning his identity.
The officers found $619 in his possession:
which he claimed was all he had left or
$3.50 he had taken from the house of Frank
lin Hamilton. Jefferson row, Saratoga. He
said he had lived at Buffalo and Saratoga,
and that he had been drinking. The pris-
oner said he had never been arrested be-
fore, and was indignant at the action or the
detectives in locking him up. This morn
ing he was taken to police headquarters
and photographed Copies of his picture
will be sent to police departments in New
York state, especially in Saratoga.
Owing to the condition of the wires,
message could not be sent to Saratoga this
morning asking for information concerning

quarters from the sixth precinct station the
prisoner made effort to escape, jumping
from the patrol wagon while the vehicle
was standing in front of the Police Court.
Precinct Detective Larry ODea. who was
in the wagon with him, grabbed him about
! the time he landed on the pavement and re-
turned him TO the wagon after short
struggle
Faircloth injured his leg when he jumped
| from the wagon. Upon reaching the detec-
tive office he conversed freely with the de-
! tectives and seemed to be afraid he would
be injured. He is in a nervous condition,
| which he claims is due TO strong drink.
| The prisoner will be held until the New
| York police departments are heard from.

POTOMAC CLEAR OF ICE
SITUATION ON RIVER FRONT NOT
REGARDED AS SERIOUS.
Views of Harbormaster Respecting
Prospects of Flood-Gorge
Not Probable.

Harbormaster Sutton, who has charge OF
the fleet employed to break the Ice on the
Potomac river, said this morning he had
no idea that the water will get high enough
to cause any serious damage here. The
river from above the bridge at Georgetown
to point far below the city is practically
free of ice, although the water was higher
this morning than usual, though a few
inches lower than 1t was yesterday. The
heavy east wind, the harbormaster ex-
planned, is largely responsible for the high
water.
Discussing the question of the prospects
of a flood the harbormaster said he had re-
ceived no information about the condition
Of the river at any considerable distance
above Georgetown. 1t maybe he stated,
that a warm rain in the mountains Will
melt the snow and ice and send down a
volume of water larger than can pass here
without causing damage. The ice that
comes from up the river, he says. must
necessarily be in small pieces from passing
over the rocks and through the swift cur
rent, and hardly form dangerous
gorge.
Four boats of the ice fleet were sent to
work about the Long bridge this morning
to get rid Of the ice on the flats. while two
of them were sent above Georgetown to
clear the ice from the river as far as the
boats are able to go.
The News From Cumberland.
The last information received here from
Cumberland is to the effect that the ice
gorge above that city is about fifteen feet
high, and the change in the temperature
and condition of the water have not af-
fected it.
At the weather bureau this afternoon
it was stated that no information of an
alarming character had been received from
Harper's Ferry or other points up the river.
1t was later stated at the Baltimore and
Ohio depot that no news had been received
there from Harper's Ferry, owing to trou-
BILE with the wires Railroad men fear the
northeast wind and rain will cause trouble
along the line of the road between this
city and Cumberland.

W. Mosby Williams. xhairtran of the COM

warded to the District Commissioners. a
copy of the resolutionA adopted at the last
meeting of the association, complaining Of
the service given to the people Of Capitol

The relief suggested by the association is
as follows:
First. The cleansing of the interior of
all green cars and the painting and var
nishing of the exterior Of all green cars.
Second. The storage of all open green
trailers from December 1 until April 1, and
the substitution therefor Of closed trailers
during that period of each year. The adop-
tion and putting into operation of this sec
ond suggestion would take time and would
afford no relief this winter. Some relief
can be given the community by the Trac-

while you may consider the aforegoing

that said companys officials will consider
that they are not fair and consistent from

that they are matters demanding attention,

House Police Court last Friday on the
charge of forging checks ame uniting to
$4,000, with the name of Col. Millard

embezzIement and theft Of correspond
ence from Pittsburg to the Carnegie
Company.
Counsel handed in forged checks for
100000 and $4,000 respectively. He
said the forgeries were ali OF great
magnitude. The prisoner, he declared,
kept up a lavish establishment at King
s.on-up pon-Thanes, and steps were
being taken to prevent the removal OF
his handsome furniture.
Counsel also handed the magistrate a
letter from prisoner in Exeter Jail,
which, the magistrate said, thew quite
a new light on the case.
Counsel added that an examination of
the books showed not only that Greigs
forgeries were for very large amount,
but that there had been an extensive
Justification of the books. The prisoner
apparently bad been carrying on large
businesses. At various addresses in
the city the police have seized mass Of
documents and correspondence. They
also discovered that chloride of lime

checks.
Col. Hunsicker said to-day that some
of the money had been recovered, but
that the loss probably would amount to
$4,000.
