Arrest of Counterfeiters.
Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph.


Boston, July 28.-Andrew J. Carew and
Adolphus C. Edwards were brought before
Commissioner Hallett to-day, on the charge OF
passing counterfeit bills on the Red Hook Ma
tional Bank, of New York, and the Marine
National Bank Of New York. They were ar
rested on Blackstone street last evening, and
had been going from place to place with
basket, buying very small quantity of some
article of provisions in each place, and tender
ing ten dollar counterfeit bills on the Red
Hook bank. Both were ordered to furnish
bail in $4,000 for examination.
1t is evident that large amount of the
counterfeit ten-dollar notes, on the Red Hook
Bank, have been made and put in circulation.
At meeting Of the leading caulkesr, last
evening it was decided that they should not
work more than eight hours per day upon old
work, and this morning they informed the boss
caulkers of their intentions. There are two
ships and barque in the docks, and work on
them was generally suspended. A few men
employed by the merchants to work by the
year, when the last strike was broken up,
went to work; but the others are idle, sticking
out for the eight hours. The rules established
by the merchants last year were three dollars
per day of ten hours upon new work, or four
dollars per day of nine hours upon old work.
The present strike is confined to the demand
of one hour less on old work.

Special Desp0tch TO The Evening Telegraph.
WASHINGTON, July 2S.--It is generally un-
derstood that the President will in few days
appoint Edmund Cooper, Of Tennessee, Com
missioner Of the Internal Revenue Depart
mept. He holds that the Senate having failed
to confirm any person for the place, it is now
vacant, and that he has power to make the ad
interim appointment. 1t is said he has contem-
plated this for some time, and that he sent to
the Senate such nominations for the place as
he knew would be rejected, with view to
keeping it open until the Senate adjourned.
Mr.. Rollins holds that his resignation does
not take place until his successor is confirmed
by the Senate, as was stated in his letter to
the Secretary of the Treasury. The Presi =
dent does not make any proviso about his
nomination, and will pay no attention to the
resignation of Rollins.

vacate his Office unless he is suspended. AS

dozen applicants for the place. All are eager
to take the part played by I'D Interim Thomas,

Summary Revenge of a Robbery and
Special Despatch TO The Evening Telegraph
Boston, July 2S.-A locality known as Hog
town, in the town of Orono, Maine, was re-
Gently the scene of robbery and murder, the
victim being one Cunningham, a river driver.
He had been paid of, and was Immediately
thereafter enticed into house of i'll repute,
drugged, robbed, and stabbed, receiving inju-
ries from which it is reported he died, on
Sunday. The citizens of Orono held meet
ing on Saturday evening, at which it was
resolved to wipe out Hogtown, and two hun
dred persons signed a paper agreeing to
become responsible for any damages which
might grow out of it.
Choosing leader, they proceeded to the
scene of the murder, and calling up the mis-
tress of the den, gave her five minutes in
which to remove her goods, at the expiration
of which time they set fire to the house, burn
ing it to the ground, and leaving naught un-
consumed. They then went to another house
and notified the proprietor that he could have
until Tuesday in which to clear out his estab-
lishment, failing in which they would do it
for him as they had already done for his
neighbor. The murderer of Cunningham has
gone over the lines into the Dominion Of
Canada
