MAN OF MANY NAMES.
ARRESTED FOR sWIEDLISG NEW
 ToRKER.

Claims to be Heidelberg Graduate
 Professor Sciences, Mining Engineer
 ing, Languages, Etc.-Is Accused of
 Obtaining sI,soo from pr. Charming
 of New York.
 What appears to be a, most clever and deep-laid campaign of swindling was revealed yesterday afternoon by the arrest by Detective Ward on Or ange street, at about o'clock, of young man, about thirty-two years old. whose name the police have as Herman Wilhelm Troebuer. His stock of no menclature is not limited to this, how ever, as he has a string of aliases that would be nearly enough to stock a whole page in a directory. He lays claim to being a Dr. August Berger, a Dr. Hoenhoffer. a Dr. Muller. Baron Vontiffer, John Easterbrook, a pro lessor of mining. professor of several other scientific subjects. a professor of languages, and a few other things.
 Troebuer is charged with obtaining money under false pretenses, to the ex- tent of s1.5oO, from pr. Charming. of New York. Detective George Mersick, of the New York detective force, came to this city yesterday afternoon and in formed the New Haven bureau of the man and his doings, and within a few hours he was in the tolls.
 Troebuer practically confessed to the New York charge and agreed to go to New York with the detective without requisition papers. Accordingly he was taken to New York by Detective Mer- sick late last evening.
 Troebuer, who appears to be a man Of education, claimed to be a graduate of the famous German university, Hei- delberg. He had in his possession a book in which he had the names of pro < fessors in many different American col leges whom he had listed as easy marks. Among them were professors at Harvard, Pennsylvania and Yale. EAs very easy marks he had recorded ! Professor George J. Brush, the former Idirector of the Sheffield Scientific school, and Professor Arthur w. Light 5 of Yale.
 I It seems that one of Troebuer's many 8 schemes is to obtain a position as a mining expert and, by telling some hard-luck story of his wife or family, to enlist the sympathy of his employers get his salary advanced and then dis appear. It is said that he has wife ir Hoboken, who is his alder and abettoI in his schemes. Ills residence is given as New York. He claims to have beer # in this city about a month and a half His residence in this city was given al X the Commercial house.
 So far as the police have learned
 Troebuer had not yet worked any of hi 5l schemes in this city.

 Over the splendid floor of the great Second regiment armory last night glided the merry members of the Sars- field Guard and their guests in the mazy light fantastic. The occasion was the thirty-ninth annual ball of the Sarsfields. From the standpoint of at tendance the ball did not prove as suc- cessful as some of it's predecessors. but those who were present enjoyed most splendid evening.
 Previous to the grand march there was a military march in the course of which the, ceremony of presenting the colors to Colonel Sucher and Adjutant General Wells was observed. This cer- emony made a pretty military scene
 The grand march was led by Leuten- ant Haggerty with Miss Margaret Bohn of Hartford as his partner. Tho strains of the Second regiment orches- tra under the leadership of Frank Fichtl, opened the ball. The programme for the evening included twenty-six dances with extras.
 The costumes of the ladies were very elegant White was the predominating color with black as q close rival for favor.
 The big armory was the scene of dainty beauty in it's garment of pink and white. The lofty roof was conceal- ed behind soft clouds of bunting, fes-

SUIT CASE VICTIM
IS SUSAN GEARY
Mystery of the Dress-Suit Case is
Solved by Mother of the Victim.
Who Recognizes the Rings Her
Daughter Wore.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 3d.
Mrs. Catherine Gea-y, wife of J. D..
Geary of this city, said tonight that
she was satisfied the dress suit case
victim was her daughter, Susan. She
had been strongly suspicious, she said,
ever since the first dress suit case was
found at Winthrop that the dis
membered body was that of her
daughter, but she had hesitated to an
nounce the fact to the rolice, fear
ing they might prove unfounded. The
discovery of the second suit case, con-
tanning the limbs and THEFT rings
which were on one hand, convinced
her that she had not been mistaken.
But even when she saw the pictures of
the rings and the description of them
in the newspapers, she did not go to
the police. Mrs Geary said
/ have not seen my daughter for
seven weeks and l have felt sure for
some time that she was the victim
in the case She wore a pressed gold
ring On her little finger and she had
also an opal ring and garnet ling,
which gave her as birthday pre-.
sent five or six years ago. The chas.
ed ring was probably ten years old.
When I saw the rings recognized
them as those worn by my daughter.
I know the victim is my Susie. She
complained of pains in her side just
before she went away. and think that
she may have been operated upon for
and the doctor having
made an unsuccessful operation, cut
her up.
During the summer she appeared :at
some of the pleasure resorts outside
of Boston as member of the rShep-
hard King" company. In July she
began to get nervous and complained
of pains in her side and / knew that
there was something wrong with her,
but thought it would pass away

HAGERSTOWN, Ind. Oct. 30.-Ten
men this morning blew the safe of
the First National Bank and stole
81, 700.
Several men fired at the robbers as
they left the scene.
Miss Hattie Cheeseman, a telephone
operator in the Office above the bank,
heard the explosion and saw the armed
bandits. Then she gave the alarm.
A posse arrived before the thieves
reached the inner safe where thous-

TO WASHINGTON
Judge CoWan Will Visit the White
House to Tell Roosevelt How the
Railroads Sought to Pack the Con-
venii0n.

CHICAGO. Oct. 30.-Evidence tend.
ing to prove that efforts were made by
the railroad interests to pack the con.
vention of the Interstate Commerce
Law league will be taken to Washing
ton by the notification committee and
placed before the proper authorities
when they go to the capital to Pres
ident Roosevelt with copy of the
resolutions adopted by the convention
in Steinway hall.
This statement was made by Jud ge
Cowan of Fort Worth, Tex, who was
a delegate to the convention.
According to Judge Cowen, the ex.
ecutive committee of the league, fo1
several weeks. before the convention,
had detectives busy securing evid-
ence that the railroads intended to
pack the convention.
One of the charges made by them,
said Judge Cowan tonight, is that
our meeting was held for polictical
purposes. This Is manifestly redicu-
lous, as more than half the delegates
in Sieinway hall were democrats
from southern states.
This question is broader than any
polictical party, and those connected
with the movement include represent.
atives from every state and every line
of business in the country.

Openly Declare Government Has
Ceased to Exist and Call on
Nicholas to Resign
ARMY RIPE FOR REVOLT
Situation Cannot be Exaggerated and
all Russia is Drifting To-
ward Anarchy

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 3d.
While the day passed quietly and with
out bloodshed in the Russian capital
and the city is outwardly calm. to-
days developments all indicate that a
crisis is imminent. Although the
streets arc filled with troops and re-
Inducements are now pouring in from
Finland, the government seems utter
~ pcwerless to cope " iii, the situat-
ion and many calm observers seem
seriously to believe that the present re-
gime is totteriDg to its foundation.
Grave doubts are expressed sa to
whether even the imperial guard can
now be relied upon. Discon tent is
rife. Early this mornino the 14th and
18th equipages of sailors of the guard,
who have ben shut up like prisoners
in barracks on the Moska canal, de-
molisn ed the windows and furniture,
and in the afternoon detachment con-
sisting of four officials of the guard
went to the lawyers assembly and
told the barristers that many of the
officers and large part of the troops
were disgusted with the government
and were ready to enlist in the move
ment for freedom. The situation can
not we'll be exaggerated. With the
present ipdecision of the emperor, the
government has neither a head nor a
policy to meet the crisis and things
seem to be drifting toward anarchy.
The revolutionlsts openly declare that
the government has ceased to exist and
that nothing remains to his majesty
except to abadicate. With firm
hand at the helm and rational policy,
however all might be changed.

RAIN VS. DRESS PARADE
CAVALRYMEN HOLD THEIR DRILLS
 BETWEEN SHOWERS.

 Tisdale is CIeanly.

If the weather man will just stop 1t from raining every afternoon at dress parade time the officers and men of the 1st cavalry in Camp Tisdale will be delighted with Pickett Springs as camping ground.
 It is one of the most delightful camps the cavalrymen have ever par ticipated in with the single exception that rainy clouds have come up the last two afternoons as the squadron started upon the field for dress parade.
 The camp which is situated upon the same level site as that occupied by the 1st infantry is as clean as a Dutch kitchen. There Is hardly a scrap of paper in the whole camp and the cook ing arrangements of all the troops are carefully supervised. In every par ticular, however, Major Atkins Is run ming the camp upon rigid military dis cipline The conduct of the men. the maintenance and the supervision of the guard line, are all in accordance with strict military regulations. In spite of the extremely bad weather the camp has many pleased visitors. The drill of a squadron of cavalry, with its four troops is among the very prettiest and most picturesque ofmilitarymanuevers A large number of ladies were out yesterday afternoon to witness the in- teresting sight, notwithstanding the rain and clouds. The squadron drill and the dress parade were given be- Aween showers, with every man in the squadron wearing a rubber poncho.
 All flags of the squadron will be put at half mast today in honor of the late Daniel s. Lamont, ex-Secretary of War, whose funeral occurs today in New York. A formal order to this ef- feet was published yesterday at dress parade by Adjutant Charles E. Dexter, by order of Major Atkins. The order was published in accordance with a re- quest from the Acting Secretary of War that this mark of respect be shown the distinguished American who was Secretary of War during the last Cleveland administration.
 Another squadron order by Major At kins directed all members of his staff commissioned and on-commissioned, to be at their proper place mounted on dress parade. unless the duties of their positions would be jeopardized thereby

ORDER AT CAMP LIGON
MEN CONDUCTING THEMSELVES IN
 MILITARY MANNER.
Captain J. G. Thomas of Mobile, Ap- pointed Surgeon and Private Scott of Birmingham Com-
 plimented at Parade.

ArtilIerymen at Camp Robert F. Ligon, near Electric Park, have settled down to the regular hum-drum of mill itary life.
 As far as appearances are concerned a visitor to the camp might think that the camp visited was of the regular army. There Is nothing of the waving banners and the sky-rocket business of the ordinary militia camp. Camp Ligon is military. When one enters the camp, he sees the sentinels walk ing their posts as sentinels should. Ha sees busy cook tents, busy quartermas- ters and oommissaries. soldiers busy policing and cleaning the big pieces, and busy headquarters.
 The order at the camp has been ex- cellent throughout the week. The men have been made to be military Details were in Montgomery yesterday bringing in soldiers. who found the city more attractive than the camp. Battery drills have been held with reg ularity. Batteries alternate in drill- ing with the guns and dismounted. The battalion is equipped with the guns of the Montgomery battery and a Hotchkiss gun of the Mobile battery.
 The rife team to contest with the team from the cavalry squadron will be picked this morning at officers call. It Is expected that the battalion will put out strong team. Tonight the officers will informally entertain the general officers and a few invited guests. Adjutant General w. w. Brandon was visitor to the camp yea terday morning and complimented Major Westcott on the appearance of his camp.
 At dress parade yesterday afternoon orders were read out announcing tha appointment of Captain J. G. Thomas of Mobile as battalion surgeon and Corporal J. McMahon as hospital stew ard. and complimenting Private H. L. Scott of Birmingham on his appear ance and military department while on guard.
 The detail for today is, Officer of the Day. Captain Sam Rosewald, Battery 5: Officer of the Guard. Lieutenant A. B. Butler.
