IRON RAILWAY CAUSE.-THE Iron Age is
strongly of the opinion that as a material
for both passenger and freight cars, but
more especially the former, iron possesses
certain marked advantages over wood,
which must eventually command for it the
favor of practical railroad men every
where. Considering their greater dura-
bility, iron cars would prove vastly more
economical than the wood, while their far
greater strength and power of resistance
would go far toward preventing many of
the terrible railroad accidents" Ito call
them by their generally accepted name,)
which, of late years, have become so
alarmingly frequent. With wooden cars
an accident" if serious, generally means
their total demolition, which, in many
instances, is effected instantaneously
by the process of 'ttelescoping," by
which half dozen cars are often jammed
over or into each other, with destruction
of life in exact proportion to the number
of passengers to be killed. According to
the journal mentioned, with iron cars no
such disasters would be possible under
ordinary circumstances. In the event Of
a collision, or other accident usually des-
tructive of life, iron cars would, doubt
less, be broken and bent out of shape, but
they would not telescope if properly
siren thened, nor would they break into
splnters or burn up. Without accident,
such cars would outast any two of the best
wooden cars ever made.

A DREADFUL SToRY.-We take the fol-
lowing from the report of a recent trial for
counterfeting
The parties interested in getting up this
plate, having induced an employee of the
Treasury to steal an impression of the back
from the genuine in the department itself,
subsequently procured him to be poisoned,
lest be should divulge the secret, seduced
his wife from her fathers house, and broke
up his entire family. An Epglshman,
whom they subsequently employed to en~
grave the face of the plate, they procured
to be charged with an infamous crime, and
compelled him to leave the country His
son, refusing to flee with him, was subse>
quently sent to Sing Sing for term of
seven years at hard labor.
These parties being thus terribly dis
posed of, the secret was considered safe a
press was set up in a secluded place and
$4,000 of the money printed. This was
such successful imitation of the genuine
issue that the notes were freely taken at
the banks; and were only first discovered
at the Treasury. The plates have since
been captured by the secret service men
duu GcotiOycu. Ao tuiCc III
the great crime made fortunes out of this
project, with which they embarked in
speculations which swept away every dol
lar. Of these men, one died of delirium,
and one was sent to the penitentiary ofthe
third all trace has been lost. 1t is a curl
Gus fact that the large issues of coun-
terfeit money, as tens, twenties, fif-
ties, etc, have an extensive circna-
lation in the West, while for the eastern
market fives, twos, ones, and fractional
currency are required. In former times
the wholesale dealers who furnished the
showers in the various parts of the country
were won't to assemble in this city at Pc
riodical seasons, have grand carousal,
and depart loaded with carpet bags of the
"stuff;" but since the establishment of a
government headquarters here under COL,
onel II. G. Whitley, chief of the secret
service division, the practice has been en-
tirely broken up, and it is with the utmost
difficulty that piece Of counterfeit money
can be bought at any price throughout the
country.
