alone farmers can form pretty accurate opin-

A Counterfeiter Arrested in Hamil-
ton. Ontario. A Question of
International Law Raised.
From the Detroit Free Press.l

From the Detroit Free Press.l
For number Of months past, Mr.. e
H. Raymour, Chief Of the Northwest
crn Detective Agency, the headquarter
of which are in this city, has been en-
gagged in breaking up and bringing t
justice gang of counterfeiters, horse
thieves, and burglars, at Toledo, Iowa
All but one Of the members of the fra
ternity, and large amount of spurious
coin, material. ETC., captured. Thu
plates and dies were carried off by tn.
party that escaped, but detective is now
on his track, aud there are indications
that the pursuit will terminate in his
capture. M.. f... a
Having learned some time since that
one of the gang, named Freeman b.
smith, was IN Hamilton, Ontario, Mr..
RaymGur proceeded thither with proper
authority and demanded the extradition
of smith Oh charge of counterfeiting.
A warrant was sworn out, and the Chief
ofPolice Of that city made the arrest
i lie pElSoIieI WIS ldhch USAolC q iAdSao-
trate for examination, on the informal
ton sworn to by Mr.. Raymonr. The
counsel for the prisoner objected to the
proceedings on the ground that the
charge does uot come within the mean
ing of the Ashburton treaty that coun-
terfeiting is not forgery or the issuing of
forged paper, which latter constitutes
one Of the extraditional otfenses. The
only point at issue therefore, is, the pre-
else definition Of the term forgery
whether it applies to the making of spur
rious coin or paper, or in other words
whether there is Il legal distinction be-
tween counterfeiting and forgery. Mr..
Raymour communicated with the
authorities at Washington i'll regard to
this point previous to the demand for
extradition, and so certain were they
that there could be really no distinction
between the terms in their application
to this case, that the Secretary Of State
by order of the President, granted the
demand. The case, as it now stands,
involves a question ofinternational law,
upon which there may be serious dis
cussion.
Smith is said to he one of the most
hardened and desperate criminals in the
Northwest, and has heretofore carried
on his operations with singular adrc:.t-
ness and daring. There arc several
other warrants for his Arrest or ,.,naroes
of attempted mur.er, horssr stealing and
otnef "uehs-ss, corr ,nitted in Iowa dur
'uy .he pericu of his stay there.
Gree, credit is due to Mr. Raymour
.3r the skillful manner in which these
cases have been worked up.
The readers of the advertiser will re-
member that the Freeman B. Smith
spoken of above is the same person that
was tried and convicted of stealing a
harness and buggy, at the December
term of court, one year ago, and was
granted q new trial; was released from
Jail on bail, and having no faith in the
ability of his lawyer to screen him from
justice, "scooted.n

Death of a Rich Beggar.
From tho Troy ~. w Times

From tho Troy n. " Times
We learn from General Miller, one of
the most popular of the members of the
Board of Supervisors, the particulars of
the death of a rich beggar in the village
of Greenbush, named Frederick w.
Rowhl, which exceeds in dramatic
interest anything we have read of in a
long time, Rowhl came to Greenbush
few weeks ago, clothed in rags, thin.
emacated and apparently half starved,
looking the very picture of poverty and
Indebtedness. His appearance was
enough to excite the pity and sympathy
of every beholdar. He was an old man,
bent with age, his hair whitened with
the frost of many winters sorrow, pow
erty, and misery had evidently been his
companions through life. The miser-
able wretch secured room in tene-
ment house for time by charitable
lady who brought him food and other
wise administered to his wants. Al
most every day the old man would beg
in the streets, and with such good for
tune that as often rs he sought aims he
returned to his howell with well filed
pockets. Nothing was known by the
villagers Of the history Of the old beggar,
but all supposed him to be what he
seemed, and to relieve the distress Of a
fellow creature was believed to be their
highest duty. But little more than a
week ago the old man disappeared, tho
door of his room was fastened, and not
even the kind woman who had given
him food knew anything Of his where
abouts. Thus matters went on until
Sunday morning last, whea the land

such ~ the case. stretched ct full
length on the little pallet Of straw lay
the dad body Of the old man. He had
been dead apparently moro than week,
and from the manner in which bank
notes, deeds, bonds, and bank books
were lying upon the floor about him, Il
was evident that the beggar and miseI
had died in struggle, counting hid
boarded wealth. In his bony fingerz
he held Isnk book showing deposit
OF $70O In banks at North Adams and
Pittsfeld, while two $50 bills served IS
pillow for his head, aud deeds Of, prop
erty In Pittsfeld, and Government
bonds to considerable amount were
lying upon the floor beside him. The
scene could not have been more dramat-
10 II presented upon the stage. The
ghastly repulsive features, the tattered
habit Of the miser, and the wealth for
which he bartered his soul lying around,
formed picture which not even the
mimic scenes of the stage could rival In
intense dramatic force. It exceeded
anything the imagination almost can
conceive. The news of the discovery Of
the dead man passed rapidly from
mouth to mouth, and large numbers
visited the apartment to gaze upon the
dead miser surrounded by his wealth.
But as in mockery Of the life he had
led, the u,oaey left by the old wretch
secured him decent burial, and he
went down to the grave attired more
respectfully than he had ever known
when alive. Kind hands, forgetful Of
the past, laid him tenderiy in the tomb,
there to sleep In oblivion until the last
great trump shall sound, and he shall
then learn whether the treasures Of
earth are counted among the treasures
of heaven. @A5 ~ '' #ft

the lot OF but few men to do as much

the scope Of the ability OF but few, in
this, or any other country, to do what
he has. His civil administration has
given equal satisfaction. He has Diff
culties to contend with which no other
District Commander has encountered.
Almost, Ii not quite, from the day he
was appointed District Commander to
the present time, the press has given
out that he was to be removed, that the
administration was dissatisfied with
him. This has emboldened the Oppo-
