Willing to Go toe Philadelphia for Trial, if Required by the Authorities. ‘Two young men whose names were regis- tered at police headquarters as Arthur W. Spinner, alias Francis Wilson, end Oscar C. Hilton, jr., alias Oscar *P. Belmont, were arrested this morning by Detectives Peck and Miller. No specific charge was pre- ferred against them and Inspector Board- man says they will probably be turned over to the Philadelphia authorities. Their ar- Test was the result of a report received at police headquarters last night from Mrs. Evans of 415 4th street northwest. Her charge was that two young men had called at her house and wanted to engage a reom. A check was tendered in payment for the rent of the room, and the young men asked for the change tn cash. Not knowing just what to do, Mrs. Evans went to another part of the house to consult a member of the family about accepting the check. When she returned to the room to inform them-that she could net eash the paper she discovered that her gold watch had been removed from her desk. Mrs. Evans accused them of paving taken her timepiece, and whep they saw several guests of the house éntering the room Hil- ton admitted that he had taken the watch, and bé Then handed it to its owner. He begged her pardon and said it was simply a case of yielding to temptation. After the men had left the house Mrs. Evans concluded that she would notify the police, in order to protect others from simi- lar operations. Detectives Notified. This morning Inspector Boardman read the descriptions of the men to the members of the detective corps and gave them in- structions to look out for th> alleged cul- prits. The inspector remembered tha: two men answering to the descriptions given had been getting off checks in Baltimore and Philadelphia, and he thought the men who call2d on Mrs. Evans were the ones who were wanted in the cities mentionei. Soon after the arrests were made the pris- oners confessed that they had passed checks in both Baltimora and Philadelphia. After leaving Mrs. Evans’ house the strangers went to Burdine's Hotel, on 6th street, where they spent the night. A check for $5 was left in the office for their lodging, but no change was given. The detectives got possession of a satcel that belonged to one of the prigoners and in it they found a number of checks. Some of them were blanks, while others had bsen filled out for small amounts. These checks showed that the prisoners had been in Philadelphia, Chambersburg, Pa., Tyrone, Pa., Camden, N.J., and Bal- timore. There was also in the satchel a pawn ticket for a dlamond ring on which $9 had been obtained from a Philadelphia pawnbroker. This ring, they said, they had purchased at a jewelry store and paid for it with a worthless check. Hilton an Ex-Soldier. A discharge from the army in the name of Oscar P. Hilton, jr., was also found In the satchel. The discharge shows that Hilton enlisted in the Ist Illinois Regiment and did service in the trenches in Cuba. His character is given in the discharge as excellent. Hilton told Inspector Board- man that he had been a reporter on a New York paper, while Spinner was a salesman. The former is twenty-seven years old and the latter is twenty. During the conversation with. the de- tectives the prisoners said they left New York about six weeks ago and had been on the road ever since. They admitted that they had passed a number of checks in stores, and expressed a willingness to re- turn to Philadelphia. The Philadelphia au- thorities have been notified of their arrest. —— “TELEGRAPHERS ON STRIKE. Order Issued to Turn on the Red Signal. The strike of telegraph operators employ- ed on the Southern railway system, order- ed by the high officials of the Order of Railway Telegraphers, went into effect at 11 o'clock this morning. Mr. Gannon, third vice president and general manager of the Southern railway, stated at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon that the strike evi- dently “went into effect without much ef- fect.” Out of 1,400 operators employed, he said, he had been notified of the refusal to work of about thirty. He declared all trains on the system were running regularly and that the company anticipated not the slightest inconvenience or interruption of traffic. In a system em- ploying 25,000 men, Mr. Gannon said, there are always some little differences to be ad- justed, but on the Southern lines they had always been met satisfactorily. A few of the young and inexperienced employes, he sald, had been worked upon successfully by the agitators, but all of the old hands were remaining at their posts of duty. The following order was sent out today by W. V. Powell, president of the Order of Railway Telegraph=rs, and addressed 10 all operators and agents of the Southern Rail- way: “Turn your boards red and quit work at 11 o'clock this a.m. Refuse to perform any work whatever. Stand firm until the last.” The boards referred to are the block sig- nals—white meaning a clear track and red a signal to stop all trains. On some portions of the Southern lines the instruments have been cut out by the striking operators and trains flaggea. This has caused a temporary loss of time by some of the train: RICHMOND, V: April 12.—The order of W. W. Powell, president of the railroad telegraphers, for a general strike on the Southern road this morning is not being generally obeyed. W. H. Trafford, assist- ant operator at Keysville, is the only one who struck on the Richmond division. His place was immediately filled. Operators at Danville went out except one man. —_++<-__ DUE TO APOPLEXY. Sudden Death of Colored Employe of City Post Office. John J. Jackson, colored, about forty- three years of age, suffered an attack of apoplexy this morning in the large mailing room of the elty post office building, where he was employed, and died a few minutes after he had been hurried to the Emer- gency Hospital. Jackson's wife, two daugh- ters and a son survive him. He had been suffering from a heart affection for some time past, so his wife declares, and she urged him to seek a physician’ advice. Jackson had been employed in the post office since 1882. He lived at 1016 4th street with his family. He was stricken this morning about 8:30 o'clock. and uttered no cry. No on@ heard or saw him fall. One of the mail dispatchers, while at his work, happened to glance around and saw the dying man lying motionless on the floor. All possible assistance was rendered, with- out avail. The ambulance of the Emer- gency Hospitai was telephoned for and ar- rived quickly. Coroner Carr has been notified, and will doubtless order an autopsy. ——.__ TO AWAIT RESULT. Committed to Jail on Charge of As- sault. Willlam Kelly, colored, who lives in Shott’s alley, was committed to jail by Judge Kimball today to await the result of injuries received last night by Edward Web- ster, also colored. Webster, whose home is at No. 420 12ta street northeast, was se- riously injured about the head. A brick, it is alleged, was used by Kelly, but the lat- ter denies the charge. Policeman Qualls of the ninth precinct, who made the arrest, re- ported that the injured man’s condition was serious this mcrning. For this reason the court committed Kelly without bond. The affair happened in an alley in rear of A street northeast between 6th and 7th streets, about 11 o'clock last night. It ap- pears that several colored men attended a “parlor social” in Southeast Washington. went in a vehicle driven by Webster, and upon their return to the stable in which the teams are kept a fight occurred. Kelly claims that Webster as- saulted him, but says he does not know who struck Webster. King’s Palace $10, $12 and $15 Suits, $5.98.

EARLY ACTION EXPECTED. Libary Commixsion Hopes to Soon Solicit Bids for Building. Speaking of the Washington Public Library building, which is to be erected on Mount Vernon Square with funds provided by Mr. Andrew Carnegie, District Commis- sioner Ross, the president of the library commission, stated to a reporter of The Star today that the commission hopes to be able to ask for bids for constructing the building in a very short time. Mr. Car- negie has donated the sum of $350,000 for the purpose, and during the past several weeks Messrs. Ackerman & Ross of New York, the architects who drew the plans for the building, have been busily engaged in the work preliminary to the drawing of the specifications. Mr. Bernard Green, who will have charge of the work of con: tioh, has notified the library commission that this preliminary work is about com- pleted, and that he expects bmit the specifications for the commission's approval in a very few days. The delay in the c pletion of the specifications, it is stated, has been due to the determination of the | commission that the building shall be con- j structed wholly within the amount donated by Mr. Carnegie. Therefore, unusual care has been taken to secure this end in the framing of the specifications. — Information bas reached here that as a result of court-martial proceedings Second Lieut. Arthur’ F. Cassels, 7th Artillery, serving in the Philippines, has been re- duced cight files in his grade and ordered to forfeit $50 a month of his pay for a period of one year. This officer was con- victed at Manila of intoxication and var- fous infractions of the articles of war, and the sentence of the court, as above indi- cated, was approved by Maj. Gen. Ous, whose ection in the matter is final. Lieut! Cassels is a resident of the District of Ci lumbia and was appointed to the army July 8, 1898. His entire service has been in the Philippines. ———— Cost Him $25. Isaac O. Gordon, who keeps a junk shop in Southeast Washington, was tried in Judge Kimball's court today on a charge of receiving sto’en property. It was alleged that he bought some brass from two boys who had taken it from a plumbing estab- lishment. The defendant denied the charge. Judge Kimball held him guilty and fined him $25, which was paid. ——— A Virginia Delegation. A delegation of Virginians, consisting of Messrs. R. E. Boyd, L. M.
