CONTEMPLATING.

GATHERING IN THE GANG OF conERs or
SPURIOUS FIvE-CENT Observation-Disclosures
OF THE LoUGHERYs.
The United States authorities OF Brooklyn are
quite elated over their recent success In detect
ing counterleiters on Monday evening two
deputy marshals, acting upon information,
visited stable on Lexington avenue, near Lewis
avenue, and took possession OF the tools and
plates from which the recently discovered bogus
hye-cent nickel pieces we're struck The property
thus secured by the government Is worth $4,000.
The stable in question was leased by John and
Thomas Loughery, the brothers who were on
Saturday last arrested by Detective Patrick
Murphy OF New York. while about to cross over
to Brooklyn by the Williamsburg ferry when
arrested the Lougherys had in their possession
box containing metal and dies for the counter
felt nve-cent pieces, which they said they had re-
ccived from Phillip Lewinske to manufacture
knives and spoons. Lewinske was arrested q
week ago on suspicion OF being connected with a
counterfeiting gang. 1t was upon IN ormation
received from this man that the officers were en-
abled to locate the business place OF the Lough-
erys. The latter men occupied two neat prck
houses on Lexington avenue, Brooklyn, but they
were wise enough not to keep any OF the
paraphernala of their nefarious calm
when the detectives called and ransacked
unsuccessful in obtaining any further evidence
against them as counterieiters. The stable was
not searched till Lewineske 'peachedn upon them.
There was discovered forge fully equipped, with
new nYe-cenJ piece IN IL, heavy presses and
other tools, such as COMPRISING aud cutting pa
chimes, files aud dies This material was removed
to the ONCE Of United states Marshal Harlow, IN
Montague street The coins put In circulation by
Lewinske were struck off with these presses.
Lewlnske Will doubtless be used rs States
evidence against the other members OF the
gang He processes to be willing to give
the names OF the firms In New York which fur
nlshed the presses and tools. He says tnat the
Loughery brothers are the principals IN the bust
ness and that no and Rudolph Scnrelber who is
also under arresU were merely their tools. John
Loughery is . machinist, and LewnSke claims 10
have no knowledge Whatever or tEat traae,
that he could not, he argues, have nad any thing

terday afternoon Detective Murphy brought over
TO Brooklyn. for examination before United
States Commissioner Wlnslow, John and Thomas
Loughery. They were held TO bail In the sum of
$4,000 EACH which they failed to furnish. They
were remanded TO jail till to-day, when they Will
be again arraigned, and decide as to whether they
Will waive examination and go before the Grand
Jury or stand examination. Should they decide
TO stand examination they Will have nearing be-
