AN IMPORTANT ARREST
An Alleged Professor Who Has Been
 Sought After for Years. .

Chicago, June 19-"Prof' A. A. Ar thur, septuagenarian, who has been sought for by the police of dozen cities for nearly score of years, has been caught at Monmouth, III, by Chi- cago detectives.
 Arthur has operated under many different names, and when he was ar rested papers were found in his posses sion indicating that he was travelling as the vice-president of a bank, pro- lessor in an eastern college, tourist, 8 lecturer and a minister
 In his satchel was found full bank ing outfit including 800 imitation drafts on the National Park bank of New York.
 The alias Prof Arthur" was the name under which he made his last appearance. As 'an eminent member of the faculty of Hamilton college" as he is reportel to have represented him. self, he was to have lectured last night in Hinsdale on Egypt and the Orient. '
 As "J. s. c. Bliss he is said to have posed as the vice president of the Peo- ple's National bank of McInnvil1e, Tenn. A quantity of drafts and dupli- cates of that used in the southern bank were found in his possession. It was while working in this guise that the prisoner is alleged to have deceived many persons in the smaller cities and even some in Chicago.
 As "S. 0. Bliss" he was reported as tourist just returned from the Orient and Egypt-a lecturer. Letters of in dorsement, given by pastors, were found by the police.
 As ''the Rev A. D. Postsam,'' it is said that the prisoner professed to be Methodist preacher, driven by his health to travel to the mountains of Colorado, and securing funds and en- tertainment by delivering lectures and supplying" the pulpits of many churches.
 "Arthur's" latest alleged swindle, by which he is believed to have obtained $200,000, is thus described by the po- lice:
 "He would deliver a lecture and when about to leave would produce a New York draft, sometimes $25 and sometimes $2OO or more. The paper which later proved to be fraudulent ap- peared regular in every way, and there seldom was difficulty in cashing it.

 New York, June 19.-Intense excite ment prevails in Little Italy over an alleged miracle performed at the s.arine of St Calogoro di Sclacca For hours after the report went out cripples of every description hurried to the Broome street corner where the altar had been erected. Finally a parade was organized in which all the deyo- tees in that quarter marched.
 It was the first time that the hirth- day off the saint had been celebrated in this country, ant the zeal of the worshippers was excessive, Men, wo- men and children kneeled before the altar, on the sidewalk or an the mid dle of the street, and many were crushed in their efforts to get close to the altar.

 On the altar is an image of the saint ia porcelain in the act of healing a child. The altar is constructed of pine. The story of the miracle here was that child, lame since birth, had been cured while the parents were praying on the sidewalk. The report spread rapidly with the above result.
