Charles 7. Molony, Second, a FOrger.

Charles L, Wol0ny, second, a torger.
A sensation was created here last Friday
when an afternoon paper brought the intelli-
gence that Charles L. Molony, ID, resi-
dent of this city, who occupied good
social position, had forged the name of his
employers, The Pennsylvania Ware-housing
Company, to check for $1,000, and had
left for parts unknown.
Molony had been with the firm for ten
years. and by successive steps reached the
responsible position of general superintend-
ent 1t was not unusual for him to draw
large sums from bank, hence, when on
Friday, February 81, he presented a check
in that amount to the teller of the Girard
bank, it was paid without question.
On Tuesday, March Sd, Moloney's wife
surrendered her pleasant home at the cor
ner OF Broad street and Newton avenue,
and furniture vans conveyed the household
goods away. With her child she is said to
have returned to her parents home in New
York.
Molony is 80 years old, a man of pleas
ant manners, and fine address. He seemed
attached to his home and family, and to all
appearances was happy in his home life.
Developments Of this act, however, indicate
that he maintained another establishment
in the city, as it is alleged he was accom-
panied in his flight by beautiful lady of
West Philadelphia.
His accounts with his employers are said
to be correct, and they are much surprised
at the developments, the head of the house
saying THAT he was very capable man,
and his fall is a great surprise to u.s."
He is nephew of Charles t. Molony, of
hDeptford township, and being of the same
name, was designated as Charles T. Molony
ID. His father was Thomas Molony, who
won distinction during the civil war, and
died soon after from wounds received in the
service

Alexander McClafferty was born in YER
mont. October H. 1914. His father was an
officer in the British army during the
war of 1872 But very little is known Of
his mother or of Mr.. McClafferty's early
life. He Joined the odd Fellows sixty
years ago, and became Mason in 1853.
while in Wisconsin.
[ During the war of the rebellion Alexan-
der McClafferty served as a private in
company c. Forty-eighth Wisconsin in
fantry. and was discharged at Fort Leav-
enworth. Kan, in 1865. After the war.
Mr.. McClafferty thought great deal Of
the west and its possibilities. and moved
to CentraHa, Nemaha county. where he
made his home until five years ago. when
he became a Ihember OF the Kansas
Masonic Home family. His wife died
many years ago, in Centralia, and the
only known survivor OF the family is
daughter. Mrs. J. J. Myers, of Centralia.
The daughter was Immediately notified
of the death. and replied last night that
she would reach Wichita this morning.
Since early life Alexander MeClaTerty
was devout Episcopslian, and took
great pride in his church. He often at
tended services in the ST. Johns church.
Until after the war he was q musician
and for many years led the choir in the
Episcopal church in Wisconsin. During
the war his hearing was impaired so that
he could no longer conduct the singing.
and il was with much regret that he was
forced 10 give this up. During his early
life music was his greatest pleasure. and
il is said that he had a most cultivated
voice.
Since the war his deafness has IN
creased until few years ago he could
hardly hear a person shouting in his ear.
and within the past few months has
grown worse. He drew benson for
many years. and within the lest month
he was examined by DIT. Hoffman for an

VICTIM OF
BURGLARS
Mrs. Corson Is Robbed
for the Eleventh
Time.

Miss Corson, a school teacher, on re-
turning to her home yesterday on Vine
yard street, found that some one had
ransacked the rooms, and carried or
considerable furniture and some Jewell
ry. This makes the eleventh time that
Miss Corson's cottage has been entered
and various articles of furniture or
wearing apparel stolen.
on returning from her school yester-
day afternoon Miss Corson was sur
prised to find some Of her furniture on
the veranda. Having had experience
with thieves before she was prepared
for the worst. The doors had been
opened and every room ransacked. Blu
reau drawers had been emptled upon
the floors and It was evident that a
thorough search had been made for
valuables.
Miss Corson noticed that wicker
work stand had been taken, and upon
a casual search she also found that a
watch and pin We're missing. With
out waiting to discover further losses,
she went directly to the Police Station
where she laid the matter before High
Sheriff Brown.
In former years Miss Corson lived on
Nuuanu street, in the house leased by
II. M. Boyd. The place was entered
four times and she moved to Vineyard
street. During her residence there I'm
two different cottages she has been
robbed seven times. She is unable to
account for this systematic robbery
and believes that some person who is
familiar with her movements as well as
the arrangement of the house Is guilty
of the depredations.
Detective McDufiie was put in charge
of the case.

CRUISER TACOMA
MAY JOIN ASIATIC
SQUADRON HERE

I Inquiry at the naval station elected
the information that the cruiser squad
ron consisted Of four vessels, instead of
two as indicated in the dispatch, and
these were in command of Admiral
Cooper. The cruiser squadron ac-
cording to the information received at
the local station, sailed on December
l, and the battleship squadron under
the command of Admiral Evans, left
Yokohama on December s.
AS has been before stated the squad
ron has probably been sent here so as
to be ready to jump either to Panama
or back to Japan. whichever station
requires the squadron in an emergency.
AS an instance Of a squadron being
sent out on "maneuvering cruise"
with deeper intentions the squadron Of
Admiral Glass was apparently sent on
a similar mission. A letter received
yesterday by Honolulan from men,
Der of the crew Of the cruiser Marble
head, which was one of the warships
attached to Glasss squadron, tells Of
their "maneuver" about as follows:
1--WE went to sea under sealed orders.
These We're to be opened upon reach
ing Acapulco. There was considerable
mystery over the maneuverlng cruise,
and we wondered just where we were
to go. At night we carried lights the
same as the passenger vessels, but in
the day time we stood away out to sea,
closing in again at night"
On reaching Apaculco the writer sta
ted that the orders were opened and
the destination was then made known
as Panama, but for what purpose the
crew was naturally in ignorance. On
ly upon arrival at Panama did the wri-
ter become acquainted with the real
mission of the Marblehead.

The Army and Navy Journal states
that the new cruiser Tacoma will prob
ably join Admiral Evans fleet at Ho-
nolulu, under command of Comdr. r.
F. Nicholson. The Journal adds:
This move Ordering the Asiatic
squadron to Honolulu) will, of course,
not re necessary to prevent the land
| ing of Colombian troops, as the squad
ron of Rear Admiral Glass is all suff-
cient for this. But the presence of
Rear Admiral Evans squadron in
Isthmian waters or even off the Colom-
bian coast would furnish a show of
force which it is felt would prove ef-
fective in quieting any possible ambl
ton of the Colombians to attack Pan
anna from the sea. 1t Is hoped that no
action will be necessary, and the pres
ent intention is to have Rear Admiral
Evans squadron come no further than
Honolulu, but the Navy Department
has consented to have the squadron
continue it's cruise to the Isthmus If
in the opinion of Secretary Hay it
would assist the United States Gov
ernment's policy. While the squadron
is at Honolulu the ships will undergo
close inspection, and if it is found
that any one of them needs extensive
repairs that vessel will be temporarily
detached and ordered to Puget Sound
or Mare Island for repairs.
The following dispatch appeared in
the San Francisco papers of December
second:
WASHINGTON, Dec. Admiral
Evans Asiatic squadron, comprising
the Kentucky Wisconsin, Oregon, AL
bany and Cincinnati, sailed today from
Yokohama on a maneuvering cruise to
Honolulu and return.
