By the arrest of Edward Ruscher, a tall, well dressed man, yesterday, Captain Seymour believes he has captured the clever forger who has been passing bogus checks on various local breweries. Last Monday Ruscher visited the Jack- son brewery and presented a check for $75 50, drawn in favor of Charles A. War- ren, the contractor, and purporting to have been signed by E. T. Kruse. - As the check bore the indorsement of A. P. Bellue, who is a customer of the brewery the cashier had no suspicion of anything | wrong. Ruscher at the time was without his hat or coat and the brewery people thinking that he had been sent by Bel- lue, who conducts a store near by, read- ily ‘cashed the check. The same day Ruscher visited the Hi- bernia Brewery and presented a check for $7550 drawn in favor of Charles A. Warren and bearing the forged signature of Mr. Kruse. The check purported to | have been indorsed by A. H. Cusens, who |is well known to the manager of the brewery. Ruscher was without hat and coat and in explanation of his appeamnc? s L‘nsusplc\gus. the cashier promptly honored the check. The following day Ruscher imposed on the cashier of the Enterprise brewery in a similar manner, securing $75. Ciuff RBrothers, wholesale grocers, are also victims of the clever forger to the extent of $65 75, the amount of a check to which the name of G. F. Krueger had been forged As soon as the forgeries were discoy- ered Ruscher’s victims lost no time in notifying Captain Seymour, and Detec- tives Mahon and Reynolds were put on his track, but it was not until yesterday that they succeeded In getting a clew to his whereabouts. Accompaniéd by two em- ployes of the Jackson brewery the detec- tives went to Tanforan yesterday after- noon and located Ruscher.

The parties to the suit of Maristany vs. Maristany, now on trial before Judge Ellsworth, commenced comparing matri- monial notes in court to-day. By the time their mutual recriminations were all in it was developed that sixteen mar- about the four principal characters in the | story. Mrs. Una Cadderly, a witness for Ma- ristany, who wants his another husband living, one Freimann of London, was the first to un- burden her soul on the marriage record issue. She confessed to three entangle- ments which had carried her as far as that bourne whence no traveler returns save through the divorce court. Mrs. Cadderly had returned safely on each oc- casion. One of her fellow travelers was the same Freimann who afterward mar- ried the present Mrs. Maristany. Hence her connection with the present hostili- ties. champagne bottles through the front win- dows of Freimann's restaurant drove him into bankruptey and divorce. hen the ather side, not liking the im- putations cast upon its witness, intimated that there were others present with mari- tal histories. Delving from one titular stratum to another, they exhibited to the court no less than six surnames worn at different periods by Mrs. Maris- tany, accomplished by five weddings. three divorces and one desertion. Then it came out that Freimann, after leaving his_wife, now Mrs. Maristany, has mar- ried again in England. Maristany him- self was next held up and the searchlight turned upon his conjugal relations. Not to be outdone by the woman with whom he unwillingly shares his name, he showed he was as much married as she, namely, five times. Aghast at the matrimonial wreckage consent, leaving the records of several others of the persons involved untouched. Foothall Players Coming. CHICAGO, Avril %.—It was announced to-day by Harry M.

Postponement of Plans Due to Consolidation of Companies. it M AR Speclal Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, April 26.—The presidents of the Western railroads are preparing to form the biggest traffic pool ever pro- pcsed. All the roads west of the line drawn from Chicago to New Orleans will be included in the agreement if the plans of the holders of financial control of the most important systems can be carried out. Much surprise has been occasioned by the postponement from month to month since last February of a meeting in New | York of the presidents and the leading | traffic officials of the Western roads. It has just become known that the reai rea- son for the postponements was the delay in perfecting many big railway consoli- dation schemes that were regarded as necessary to the formation of the huge traffic pool contemplated. The acquirement of the Burlington sys- tem by the Northern Pacific and Great Nerthern railroads is_practically accom- plished, negotiatiops for ‘‘community of ownership” of tht Northwestern and Union Pacific are said to be progressing satisfactorily, plans for the extension of the Gould systems are rapidly being car- ried out and things generally are work- ing so well that the announcement has been made that the presidents of the Western railroads will meet in New York in June. At that meeting a traffic pool will be formed if possible. The call for the meeting of Western presidents in New York next week has been withdrawn sim- ultaneously with the announcement that the meeting will be held in June.

C., April 26.—The sealing | schooner Enterprise, first of the sealing figet to return, arrived to-night under dis- tressing circumstances. She sailed In with her flag at halfmast and with one of her crew lying dead In the sternboat. This unfortunate, who had died on Tuesday last, when off the cape, and was wrapped in blankets and placed in the boat which hung from the stern davits of the schoon- er, was Willlam Holmberg, a resident of Victoria. His was the third death of the schoon- er's company, two others drowned in Drakes Bay, . These two—Willlam Burr of Buffalo and Frank Irvine of Victorla—with H. Haltz bad left the schooner in a small boat, which was capsized in the surf. ‘When the death of Holmberg occurred the men were so down-hearted, they hav- ing only taken flve skins since they left Drakes Bay, that they decided to return to | port, although there is still a week of the sealing season to run. They had but 152 skins for their season’s work, and, ac- cording to their report, the other schoon- ers of the fleet will have a low catch. Squally weather during the season left | few hunting days. | _The schooner had a narrow escape from destruction in the path of a large water- spout last Saturday. The spout was first seen when the vessel was in lati- |tude 47.13 and longitude 12602 west, and was about three miles to leeward, bearing directly toward the vessel. The sealers got ready their bombgun to fire at the approaching waterspout in an en- deavor to break it before it reached the schooner, but the gun's services were not necessary, for the spout broke and fell when not’ far distant. It lashed the sea | Into a whirlnool and would have wrecked the schooner had it struck it, as at one time it seemed certain to do. | | | ILLNESS OF LUDLOW PREVENTS APPOINTMENT Officer Selected for Governor of the Visayas Department Cannot Take the Position.
