ASSISTED A FRIENDJohn P. Goggin Treasurer Nashua
Trust Company Charged With
Embezzling $80,000.By Associated Press.
Nashau, N. H., Jan. 25.—John P. Gog-
gin, treasurer- of the Nashau Trust com-
pany, was arrested today charged with
embezzling a sum of money from the
bank. The amount is placed at betweeh
$80,000 and $100,000. The Nashau Trust
company did not open its doors today
and the institution is in charge of 'the
state bank commissioners pending further
examination.
Goggin was held in $10,000 bonds for
the grand jury. He made no statement,
but said his downfall was not due to
speculation, but to- having given assist-
ance from time to time to a friend. Gog-
gin was one of the most prominent offi-
cials of New Hampshire and is well
known in banking circles in Boston,
Lowell and other large cities. He came
from the west about 10 years ago and in
a short time he was made treasurer of
the Trust company. He is about 40 years
of age and has a family.
In banking circles here the hope was
held out today that the defalcation would
not result i.n the permanent closing of
the company. The Nashau Trust com-
pany has a.capital of $1,125,000 and usual-
ly carries deposits running from $600,000
to $650,000 in the savings department. The
bank also had a check deposit depart-
ment, deposits in which swell the total
carried by the bank to about $1,000,000.G. B. MARSAN & CO., PHONE 109,

A. E. CARR,
313 20th St., bet. Market and Mechanic.Ship First Visited by German Consul Runge Followed by Local
Reception Committee—Plan of Entertainment Presented to
Captain for Approval-Thousands of Visitors Expected.
The Gazelle is here. With colors flying
to the breeze, the cruiser Gazelle of the
royal navy of his majesty, Kaiser Wilhelm
II., emperor of Germany and king of
Prussia, reached Galveston this morning.
The Gazelle was first sighted crossing the
bar at 8.30 o’clock. Dr. E. F. McClendon,
state quarantine officer, was the first one
to board the ship, and after a close inspec-
tion that official reported that there was
no sickness on board, the Gazelle and that
every one of the officers and men were
in perfect condition.
The German consul, Hon. Julius Runge,
followed by members of the local recep-
tion committee, next paid a formal visit
to the Gazelle. In this connection it may
be stated that there. was quite a bit of
strict formality attached to these visits.
In the first place, Mr. Runge was notified
by Capt. Sass of the Gazelle of the arrival
of the ship, and then he returned in the
same boat which brought him the official
notification. It was 12 o’clock before Mr.
Runge was able to start for the Gazelle,
tjie committee following him about 30
minutes later. Through the courtesy of
Suderman. & Dolson, .the tug Albert N.
Hughes was placed at the disposal of the
members of the committee which visited
Capt. Sass today. This committee, which
is composed of Messrs. B. H. Peters, A.
B. Langerman, John Focke and F. Ohlen-
dorf, are ^expected to return to the city
about 4 o’clock. They were chaperoned by
Mr. S. W. Levy, who is connected with
the firm of Suderman & Dolson. The gen-
tlemen named bear with them the pro-
gram of entertainment which -the citizens
of Galveston desire to provide for the of-
ficers and men of the Gazelle, and they
will present the same to the Captain for
his advice and approval. His wishes in,
the matter will be given full consideration,
and upon his approval of the program it
will be announced to the public. No par-
ticulars of the program could be learned,
but it is understood that the citizens will
endeavor to make the stay of the visitors
a most enjoyable one indeed.
. As is usually the case,jtoday will be de-
voted to cleaning ship. It is expected that
visitors will be received on board some
time tomorrow. The exact time of the
hours of reception will be given to the
public through the medium of the commit-
tee which visited the ship today.
The Gazelle is a part of the German
West Indian squadron. The squadron is
composed, besides , this cruiser, of the Vi-
nette and the Faulke. The Vinette, with
the commodore of the fleet, was dispatched
to New Orleans, and the Faulke to Mo-
bile. The Gazelle is considered one of the
finest vessels of her class in the imperial
German navy. She is a protected cruiser,
and was built by the Krupps in 1898 at
their shipbuilding yards in Kiel. She is
modern in all her equipments, registers
3000 tons displacement, 6000 tons horsepow-
er, and bristles with ail those engines of
war that pertain to the battleship. She
carries ten five-inch rapid firing guns,
fourteen machine guns, four machine rifle
torpedo tubes, etc., and her crew num-
bers 213, exclusive of officers.
The officers' of the -Gazelle are:- Cap-
tain, Commander Sass; first officer, Lieut.
Commander Tuerk; navigating officer,
Lieut. Von Rosenberg; Lieuts. LOrey,
Kirchjier, Boest, Starke, Freiherr von
Manchenheim and Von Bremer; engin-
eers, Ei^hstaedt and Bitterli'ng; surgeon,
Dr. Schmidt; paymaster, Stoehr.
Great crowds are expected to -visit Gal-
veston during the time the Gazelle is
here. All of the railroads have made
greatly reduced rates and they have made
extensive preparations to handle a very
large number of people. Within the
state of Texas there are thousands and
thousands of citizens of German descent
who are desirous of paying their respects
to the officers and men of a warship of
the parent country and will take advan-
tage of this opportunity. Besides this,
the low rates are an inducement to many
others who will be glad of a chance to
come to Galveston at a time when there
is bustle and activity on the wharves.
The first of the excursions will arrive
here this evening and will be from points
on the Southern Pacific west of Plouston.
The Central, Texas and New Orleans and
Santa Fe will commence the sale of
tickets tomorrow. It is believed that the
largest representation of Germans will
be here on Wednesday, when the birth-
day of the emperor will be celebrated with
great eclat. The program for this event
is also i> the hands of the committee and
will not be furnished to the public until
it has been passed upon by the captain
of the- Gazelle.
Division Passenger Agent J. H. Miller of
the Southern Pacific-Central lines was in
receipt this afternoon of a telegram from
Division Passenger Agent R. E. George at
Waco to the effect that President Julius
Maaz, president of the German Veterans’
association, with a large delegation will
arrive in Galveston on Wednesday morn-
ing via the Central.
GIVEN AN OYSTER ROAST.
Boys on Board the German Training Ship
Are Paring Well.
Today the committed in charge of the
entertainment of German visitors treated
the boys of the training ship Grossher-
zogin Elisabeth to what was an entirely
new thing to a great many of them—an
oyster recast. The morning on board the
ship was devoted to the usual routine,
but in the afternoon the jackies donned
their suits of blue and proceeded to
Woollam’s lake, where t-he feast was held.
The boys have all eaten oysters before,
many times in fact, but many of them
had never eaten them cooked as they
cook them at a Texas oyster roast.
Every train yesterday brought crowds
of visitors from Houston and mainland
cities and towns. All afternoon the ship
was crowded with visitors. The boy who
possessed the happy accomplishment of
being able to speak English was indeed
in his glory. A barrel of hard ship biscuit
was opened and placed where the public
could get at it and many were the lands-
men who went around the deck and the
nearby wharf nibbling at pieces of this
mainstay in ship diet.
Yesterday morning two squads of the
officers and men came ashore to attend
church in the city, as was stated they
would in Saturday’s Tribune.
After divine service was over at the
German Lutheran church the cadets were
invited to take some refreshments, which
were especially prepared for them, in St.
Joseph’s school hall, adjoining the church,
and while the gentlemen of the parish
entertained them in a witty and humor-
ous manner the ladies of the parish dex-
terously^ served at the table.
In the afternoon a shore party was or-
ganized and took in the sights of the
town, including the sea wall and other
places of interest along the water front.

RAILROADS IN MEXICO.
Consul General Hanna Tells of Progress
Being Made.
Special to The Tribune.
Washington, Jan. 25.—The department of
commerce and labor has published, in its
epitomized consular reports, a letter from
Consul General Hanna of Monterey, Mex.,
which states:
“The work of changing the gauge of the
Me?sican National railroad has been com-
pleted, and the entire road, which was
until a year ago the longest narrow gauge
railroad in the world, is now standard
gauge from Laredo to the City of Mexico.
The branch road of the Mexican National
running from Corpus Christi, Tex., and
connecting with the main line at Laredo,
has also been changed to standard gauge.
“About $13,000,000 gold has been expend-
ed in rebuilding the roadbed, changing
the gauge and in furnishing modem rail-
way equipment for this road. Within a
short time it will run through trains from
St. Louis to the City of Mexico.
“The National railroad is also building
a line from Monterey to Matamoros,
which will soon be completed. The build-
ing of this line will open up a rich terri-
tory, which will undoubtedly be settled
by persons interested in agriculture and
mining. The completion of this branch
will connect with Brownsville, Tex., to
which city two roads are being built from
the north, and when this line is completed
it will give Monterey another connection
with the United States.”
A high spite fence is a thing that can’t
be overlooked.

Age of 82.By Associated Press.
New York, Jan. 25.—Gen. William
Chauncey Kibbe, an old Indian fighter
and gold hunter in California during 1849,
is dead at his home in Brooklyn from
tuberculosis. He was in his 82d year.
Born in Illinois, Gen. Kibbe came as a
young man to Brooklyn and secured a
position as teacher in the public schools.
In 1849 he had become a principal, but re-
signed to seek his fortune in California.
As a miner he was unfortunate, and after
a while he drifted into other pursuits. He
took part in suppressing many of the
early Indian uprisings in California and
Nevada, and finally, when Leland Stand-
ford became governor, Gen. Kibbe be-
came adjutant general on his staff.
After the civil war, Gen. Kibbe returned
to Brooklyn and resumed teaching.
WILLIAM HENRY HAZZARD.
By Associated Press.
New York, Jan. 25.—William Henry Haz-
zard, president of the Fulton bank, and for
half a century one of the leading citizens
of Brooklyn, is dead. He was born on a
Delaware farm and came here when a lad.
He entered the building trades and in
later years erected many of the large
business structures of Brooklyn. He also
was largely instrumental in developing
the street car system under Mayor Tom
Johnson of Cleveland, O.
