directors, presided and made the opening
address, which embodied an earnest and
eloquent plea for cordial relations be-
tween the races for education, and for
the cultivation of a liberal and patriotic
feeling everywhere. abounding as it

Couu,erfettjug Conyicts.

The publication OF the discovery That
the conyicts IN the penitentlary have got
down 10 hard money basis by manutuc.
turing spurious nickels has made sensa-
ton here. \ rumOr was current today
that these thirty convicts had not con-
faed themselves 10 coin, but had also
been manufacturing bogus g-eenbacks.
The fact that Charlie Ulricb, one Of the
most expert counterfeiters in America, is
confined here, at once pointed MIN out as
the leader of ths counterleltlng green
back party, Ifsuch thing existed.
Warden lines WAS interviewed on the
subject to-day. lie says that If any
green back. have been made in prison, he
does not know it; and that the bogus
pickels were made by two men-JOhn
Fought, sent from Anglaiz county for
horse stealing, and Harry Parker. sent
from Lucas county for burglary. These
men work close together in the moulding
shop. and tbsre made the coin in
moulds. a genuine coin being used for Is
pattern. The material used was HI alloy
of copper and zinc. The warden says
:he guard OF the shop was cagnizant OF
what the men were doing but it was
thought proper to Wal; a while, in order
to discover if possible all the
men implicated. This season Of sait-
ing continued three days, and
then the warden found some Of the stuff
in the possession of his little boy, ~hO
generously presented his parent With tso
Of the crooked coins. The boy said be
had already spent fve Of the coins which
eere given him by Fought and Parker.
Then the two prisoners were pat in the
dungeon, where they soon wilted and
made n clean breast of the whole busI-
ness. The warden is OF the opinion that
very few coins were made, snd that fev
Of these ever left the prison.
