From Fridays Daily.
A stranger whose name is supposed ito
be B. NJ. Ryan is behind the bars at the
city hall, charged with passing a forged
order and attempting to pass a worth
less check. He was arrested at ] 80
o'clock this afternoon by Officer Klugh-
ertz, after he had been taken nearly ito
| the city hall by Albert Kohler, the
North Front street shoe dealer.
{ Ryan passed an order for SLIGO on
i VIM. M. Schmidt, who conducts saloon
at 4O3 North Front street, shortly be-
fore noon today. The order was drawn
! on the First National bank to pay the
amount to r. f. Sullivan, and purported
to be signed by j. P. Daley and directed
to Elizy & Co. Ryan had just previously
tried to pass the order ION Mr. Koehler,
| and in doing so dropped several Others
out of his pocket. Mr.. Kohler at once
became suspicious and ltelephoned to the
police. With Officer Bienepf he search
ed for the fellow, and traced him to the
railroad tracks, where the two separated.
Mr.. Kohler soon ran upon Ryan and
took him toward the city hall, turning
him over to Officer Klughertz.
Ryan admitted to Officer Klughert2
that he had passed the check, and asked
for leniency, saying that he would re-
fund the amount. He was locked up;
wkile Mr. Schmidt went for a warrant.
Ryan this forenoon attempted to pass
worthless check Tor $40 On the Illinois
Salvage company. He purchased a suit
of clothes there for $I3, and Offered the
check in payment. 1t was drawn on the
First National bank, in favor of J. III.
Sickle, and Ryan signed his own name
to it. n1he proprietor stepped over tol
the bank to see whether the check was
a good one, and was informed that
Ryan had no money in the bank. Ryan
slipped out, and the company lost moth
ing. The writing in the check was in
the same hand as that on the order.
Mr. Dooley, Eyhose name was forged to
the order, is foreman of the grading
work ON the Great Western road north of
the city, and Ryan has been working for
him for some little time Ryan came to |
the city yesterday afternoon and lived
high for short time.
When searched, Ryan had in his pos |
session several blank checks and orders
ON the First National bank, and he had
started to fill out one of these for $1,000.
He showed the signs of drink, and fell
asleep soon after being locked up.

soon afterwards he remarked to Free
Press reporter, who happened to be there,
that he felt that the days work had been
a little too mach for him-that he had
overdcne himself a little. He had been
feeling quite we'll during the day until
then, although weak.
The weather yesterday was very I'M
favorable for him, yet he went to the
office in the morning and transacted
business before the court, sentencing
three prisoners, and filing a decision in a
civil case. He was looking and feeling
very poorly, but attempted to remain
until the morning papers should arrive.
AT about ten o'clock he remarked to
City Recorder Hodapp that he was "feel-
ing awful SICK" and that he was going
home even if he never got a paper He
then went home.
After arriving at his house, Judge
Shissler was taken with a severe chill,
and his physician was summoned and
pronounced the case a very serious one.
The patient began to sink, and his son,
happened the train that he was braking
on reaching the city at p. M, and he at
Harry, was telegraphed for, and as it
once went to his fathers bedside. Judge
Shissler sank during the night, but was
conscious almost to the last. He suffer
er intensely most of the time, but his
death was peaceful. He passed away
while his son was at the telegraph office
to summon his fathers sister.
The news of the death of Judge Shis-
sler spread quickly, and caused profound
sorrow. He was widely known and had
many warm friends, and great deal of
sympathy had been felt for him in his
Affections. On account of gangrene, both
of his lower limbs were removed two or
three years ago, near the knees, and he
was obliged to make his trips between
his residence and office with a hand
propelling carriage, when he was able
to exert himself that much. At the time
of the operations his life was dispaired
of, but he possessed strong constitu-
ton and made successful fight for life
at times when most people would have
given up.
The deceased was born at New Hagers-
town. Ohio. October 25th, 1874. His par
ents were John L. and Catherine price,
Shissler, prominent people of his native
town After receiving such an education
as his home schools furnished, and spend
ing a few years clerking at Wellsville,
Pittsburg, and enc or two other places,
he went in 1866 to Van Vert, Ohio, and
entered the law office of his uncle, Judge
James L. Price, now of the Ohio SUI
preme bench.
At intervals, while reading law, Mr..
Shissler taught school for a term OF two
and attended Ann Arbor university for a
time In 1869, he was admitted to the
bar, but, not satisfied with his legal at
tainments, he spent a year in the Ann
Arbor law school, graduating in 1871.
Returning to. Van Vert, he was associat-
ed with Judge Price in the practice of
his profession for eleven years, during
which time he was elected county attor-
ney two terms and mayor of Van Vert
two years.
In April, 1884, Mr.. Shissler moved to

WANTS TO DEFEAT.
UNION IN DETAIL
President Of Freight Handlers Says
Roads Want to Force Strikes at
Individual Houses.

CHICAGO, May H.-President Law
renee J. Curran, Of the Freight Hand
lers' union, today charged that the rail-
road companies are trying to precipi-
tate individual strikes in their respec-
tive freight houses with view Of dis
organizing the union. He declares en-
phatically that if they succeed at any
one point he will call general strike
of his 10000 men within an hour.
Officials Of the railroad companies
deny absolutely that there is any such
plan on their part, and that if there
must be trouble at all they would
much prefer that the strike be general
and not confined to a freight house here
and there.
Considerable color, however, is lent to
the charge Of President Curran, by the
fact that President Harper of the Uni
versity of Chicago was appealed to by
a. representative Of one of the roads to
furnish a number of students to be
used as strike breakers.
Evidence Of an attempt on the part
Ct labor organizations to break up asso-
Citations of employers became apparent

40 First National Bank Buildinq,

The different lines of business in our
city are each represented by a leader,
and foremost among those engaged in
the insurance business is the Man.
haitian Life Insurance Company Of
New York. Mr. VIM. P. Lardner is
the district manager for this company
and has his office at 10 First National
Bank Building.
This company issues policies for all
forms of life insurance. It is a, ques-
ton of great Importance, especially
to the working men, that they should
be we'll insured, yet they are often
times very negligent in this particular.
They should be very careful in select
ing the company in which to be in
sured. and, after careful investigation,
we heartily recommend the Manhattan

stable and we'll established company,
and is a most creditable institution.
The superior service which they rem i.
der the public meets with the hearty
endorsement and approval of the peo-
pie OF the entire Northwest.
It is a pleasing fact that the man.
agement of this company is broad
minded and public spirited, and upon
several occasions have exhibited the
most friendly spirit towards labor and
the cause of labor.
