ATTEMPT 10 SWINDLE
E. G, Courscn Nearly Caught in a Well-Laid
Trap.
K ARCHBALD'S ME FORGED
Innocent Messenger Boy Is Made a
Catspaw of the Sharper, Wlio Used
the Private Note Paper of Mrs.
James Archbald Mr. Courseh Too
Ghrewd to Be Trapped Tho Man
Eludes Arrest.
A clever ntiorupt at swindle wits
nnido yesterday afternoon upon E (i.
CotllMtl hy lbs use of an Innocent uios
si'ngf'r boy and the fofjftd tOddTWOWOt
of Airs. Janes Archbild's u iino to a
worthies check for H.
About 5 o'clock a postal telegraph
boy banded Sir. Oonrten, at his bioiv,
a seated uvelopo containing a check
I'or $17 made payable to Airs. James
AfOUbald'l order, mid endorsed with
lur mi mo An accompanying lotur,
written hi a feminine brad, stated that
Mr.Arohbald was i-titof town,tbe bauki
wtru closed and lira, Archbald, who,
name. was signed, Would appreciate
Mr. Gonrsen'a kindness if he would
cash tho check end send tiio money by
(be boy. To add td the plausibility of
i bo letter, It contained at its heed in
raised colored letters the address ''484
Ji Hereon avenue," and was an exac t
facsimile of Mvj. Archbald's private
note paper.
IBB BCHBltl WAS PL A LSI OLE.
The boy In reply ton (lueotiott said
the note whs handed him by Thomas
Archbald, lire, ArcbbnU'e eon, at the
corner of Mnlberrv an I Vine street. It
was afterward learned t'u vt t'.iecall for
the boy was receive I by telephone
from Chittenden's drug stor'. The
li itpir sent the call, met tho l oy.givve
him the note as stated and evidently
Intended to intercept him on bis re
'urn with the money.
Mr. Cottfiett'l Idlplcloni woro nr
ronsed, but he put 47 in his pocket
and went with tiie messenger to Mr
Arob bald's residence. Thomas Arch
bald ws there, as v.ms uUo his father,
who acconliug to the uote was cut cf
town. The letter and check were pro-
uonncud ns forgeries.
Too messenger was naahlo to give n
good description of the man who g ive
Htm the uote, as the fellow hud liur
ritd through with the transaction with
the apparent intention of not giving the
messenger a chance to dtscribe i.im
minutely afterward. He wore a well
Biting long cutaway black coat, light
tl misers, bi owo derby and tan shoes
Thefboy conld not describe other par
ticulars of his attire or remember bis
facial appearance.
The police wero notified and imme
diately bgan work on the case. Mr.
Coarsen drove from depot to depot,
took the boy with nim to Carbondale
early in tne ovoning to identify the
man if found there, and was otherwise
unremitting in bis efforts to apprehend
him. Up to a lata hour ha hud not
been caught.
WAS IT PROFliRSIONAL WORK?
Tho fellow must either be a resident
of Scranton, or ho lias been particularly
fortunate is lenraiug tho movements
of the Archbald household. It is u
fact that lie family Intend leaving the
city as tho forged letter stated. How
Mr?. Archbald s private letter paper
u s obtained und the information that
Mr. Courson is the family's grocer
are mysteries for the police to solve.
It all shows that the swindler Is an
sde;it at bis buuco Ims'ness or is an
amateur of great ability.
Evidently the plan wag timed to a
nicely, us many traius euter and leavj
the city within u hour aftar the at
tempted swindle.
THEY PLAYED WITH POWDER.
North End Boys Have an Exciting Ad
venture Two Biliously Injured.
About 8 o'clock last evening tiro boya
who by roine means bad become pus
sessed of a tomato can half full of
blasting powder, went to the Electvic
park, and in some manner which they
cannot up .in, the powder exploded,
reuniting in the five lining more or less
injured. A TRUiUNit reporter visited
tho house of Daniel Lewis, Putnam
street, whoso 10-year-old sou, William,
was probably the moot Btriously in
jured, and found tho young man suf
fering intense pain aud shotviug dread
ful effects of the explosion.
The skin in places was blown from
the flesh and tho grouter part of the
body was iiff'Ctad, Tho eye brows had
disappeared and the features bad been
greatly changed.
Tommy Murphy, another of tho boys,
who is about 12 years of age, son of
Martin Murphy, of Warren street, was
seen by the reporter and was covered
with flannel bandages. HI) condition
is not so serious as Lewis' but It will
take some time for both to reuovur.
The othor three boys are not eo seri
ously hurt and escaped more fortunately
the effects of the explosion.

AN ECHO OF BANKERS' MEETING.
According to Rhdd I : n.d Law Mr.
Hackett V. as Corrsct.
It will interest the bankers and oth
ers who attended the meeting of tho
Hankers of Eastern Pennsylvania iu
this city of June It to know of a recent
act of the Hbode Island legislature
bearing upon paper falliug due on a
holiday. The act referred to is as fol
lows: That all notes, drafts, checks, accep
tances, bills of exchuuge, bonds or other
evidences of indebtedness falliug duo on
Sunday or on a holiday shall be considered
due 011 the next following business day.
That banking hours shall end at 12 o'clock,
noou. on each Saturday, and Saturday
shall, for the acceptance and maturity of
paper referred to in the act, be treated as
a holiday, but this section dues not nnidv
lo checks or demand drafts 011 banks or
banaers presented before twelve noon on
Saturday. Thattheactsh.il tuke effect
on iiuiy i, it-04, ana shall aODU to nl!
notes, etc., executed and dated after the
passage of tho act, and which will fall duo
ou or after duly 1, lb04.
At the Scrauton nu-etiug, Mr. Ainoy,
of Easton, contcuded that a similar
Peuiuylvaiiia law applied only to such
banks as closed at 12 o'clock noon, en
the legal baturdar hulf-holiday. He
held that commercial paper presented
or rocoived for collection at a bank
which does not close until 8 o'clock p.
nil on Saturday, should legally be paid
that particular dsy.
Air. Hackett aud others disagreed
with Mr. Aiuey aud said that the Penn
sylvania law applies to all bsnks doing
business in the state, no matter what
is their announoed closing hour, This
latter view prevailed and it was voted
ns the s-.'iise of the meeting that banks
should close at noon 011 Satur lavs. Mr.
Ainey, however, did not ohan(,o his
opinion.
