Counterfeiter Captured
ARREST of an ALLEGED SEALER in "QUEER"
James Colbert, an Englishman, aged about 45 years, and who is said to own considerable property in this city, was arrested on Thursday under circumstances which will be apt to secure his conviction, often striven for but never achieved, by officers of the United States Secret Service.
Colbert has long been known as a most expert leader, organizer and backer of counterfeiting enterprises, and a saloon be kept some years ago in New York, at Houston and Crosby streets, known as the "Gem" was the resort of a notorious gang of cracksmen, among whom were Dutch Heinrichs, Dan Noble and others of that ilk. An arrest, which followed some questionable transaction, compelled Colbert to make himself scarce, and he resided for a time in Canada.
On his return to the United States he made this city his headquarters, and opened, in Arch street, just below Third, a saloon, called the "Woodbine", said to have been somewhat similar in its purposes and character to the Houston street den. Some months ago an officer of the Secret Service visited him at the saloon and introduced himself as a friend of Joe Ruffiens, who was for some time chief of police in a certain Western City. The name made such an impression on Colbert that it is said he at once took the detective into his confidence, and several transfers of counterfeit money took place. The detective finally contracted for two thousand dollars in counterfeit fifty cent notes, of the Lincoln head issue, and it was while making this sale on Eighth avenue, now Twenty-third street, in New York, that Colbert was arrested. Yesterday, the prisoner had a hearing before a United States Commissioner, and was committed in default of $10,000 bail. Colbert denies his guilt.

INQUESTS BY THE CORONER
The Coroner yesterday held an inquest at the Morgue on the body of Adolphus Raney, aged about 40 years, who was found dead on the previous day in in a room at No. 27 North Seventh street. The testimony showed that Raney, who was in the employ of a roofing company, was found dead by his employer about 2 o'clock on Thursday, and in grate near the deceased was an ounce vial containing some hydrocyanic acid. As the post-mortem examination made by Dr. Shapleigh revealed traces of this poison in the stomach of Raney, who has of late given many evidences of a diseased mind, the jury rendered a verdict of suicide while temporary insane.
An inquest was held also on the body of William McAleer, aged 2 1/2 tears, who died on Tuesday last from the effect of burns. The mother of the child left him in a room with two other children while she went to the store, and in an attempt to light his father's pipe he set fire to his clothing. Verdict, death from burns accidentally received.
BROKE JAIL
Last evening Captain Heins received a telegram from the chief of police of Reading stating that John Klutz, a noted 'bank sneak', along with a prisoner named Shaffer, had effected their escape from the jail at that place. Klutz belonged to a party of scoundrels who preyed upon the banking institutions throughout the country -- sneaking into banks during banking hours and carrying off whatever valuables they could lay their hands upon. Klutz was convicted of robbing a Reading bank of a tin box containing $2500, and was sentenced to several years imprisonment. Some of his companions in the same line of business are now serving terms of imprisonment in Pittsburgh.

HEARINGS at the CENTRAL
The following cases were yesterday afternoon disposed of at the Central Police Station by Alderman Carpenter --
Samuel Keys and James Flake were charged with larceny. On Wednesday night they went on board a canal boat, of which Peter Westcott is commander, and which is lying in the Delaware at the foot of Laurel street, and stole two lines worth forty dollars, a coat, two pairs of pants and a pair of gloves. The rope they disposed of alongside of the canal boat to a junk man, who happened very considerably to be near just when he was wanted. What became of the other articles is not known. They were, doubtless, pawned for a few cents. Keys acknowledged he stole the articles, and said Flake was with him at the time, and assisted him in his criminal doings. He took them, he said, because he wanted something to eat, but as he is well known to the police this story is discredited. Both were held in $800 bail to stand their trial in the Quarter Sessions.
Daniel Sullivan had a final hearing on the charge of shooting Nicholas Hinkle last Wednesday week in the store of Herman Steinhart, No. 312 South Sixth street. Hinkle testified that as far as he knew the shooting was accidental. Sullivan leveled the gun at him and fired, not knowing it to be loaded. Evidence at the previous hearings showed clearly that the accused had fired the gun not knowing that it was charged, and the magistrate taking a generous view of the case discharged him.
