"HIs LAST SHoHE."
DEATH OF A NOTED scoUNDREL-A BIG
HAUL OF BOGUS SILVER COIN.

tFrom tho Altoona Tribune.
Tyrone had genuine sensation on
Saturday afternoon, September 10Th,
over the capture Of one counterfeitcr
and the death of another, for the par
ticulars OF which we are indebted to
the story of the detectives who were
engaged in making the arrests. There
are many stories a1oat in regard to
the affair, and from all We can hear
and learn, theirs is the most compre-
hensivc and connected. Some time
about the lst of July last, information
was received at the department in
Washington TO the effect that gang OF
counterieitcrs were plying their trade
in the vicinity of this city, manulactur.
ing bogus coin. Tho work of ferret.
ing them out was entrusted to U. S.
Detectives G. B. Perkins and Il. A.
Abbott. James p. Funk was known
TO be q member of the gang. There
was positive information that he had
exposed $1,000 in spurious coin at one
time. Funk had been spotted as II
shower OF the queer for eight or nine
years. But "Slppory jim" as ho was
lamiiarly called, was n lucky dog, and
never yet had the officers been able TO
get him, as they say, "dcad 10 rights"
As FAR back as 1870 Funls's namo ap.
pears upon the lato U. S. Attorney
Swoope's notes Of evidence taken in
the United States Court. He was then
with others, operating in Indiana,
Blair, Cambria and other mountain
counties. This time, however, tho
case was worked up with such address
that Funk, slippery us he was, gave
himself away IN the most complete
manner. Detective Abbott provided
himself with n letter Of introduction to
Funk, from an old hand at the bust
ness, who wanted to "squeal" The
letter spoke of him as ono the writer
had known for about twenty years, an
old "coney' man and one not to be
aiaid Of Armed with this crodential
the detective visited FdnlS at his house,
in Logantown, on the ID day of July.

Mr.. President and Felioo Citisens Of

State authorities. Looking back over
the field of action, with familiar
knowledge Of the inner workings Of
the undertaking from its inception Ia
this time, and considering the disas-
trous times that have beset us for tho
past three years, it is surprising to us
that so much has been accomplished
and too much praise cannot be given
the enterprising and public spirited
gentlemen of the Board of Trustees, as
well as the contractors, for the parts
they have performed The building is
n lasting monument to them, and the
success Of the school will perpetuate
their memories with honor. "Well
done, thou good and faithful servants, .
is the voice of tho public.
IN CONCLUSION,
wccongratulatc felow-citizens upon
what has been accomplished, and look
forward to distinguished future for
the Central Normal School of the
Eighth District. lis beginning is aus
picious. The faculty is good one, and
the attendance is gratifying. That
this will continue and the school ad-
vance is to be looked for, and that the
location will grow in popularity is as
sured from the beauty OF the site and
the well-known intelligence and hospi.
tality OF the people of Lock Haven and
vicinity. Nestled in its cosy mountain
cove, on knoll that commands view
of scenery which must captivato and
continue to charm tho student Of Ma
ture as the seasons roll around and
clothe the mountains, hillsides and val
leys with their variegated and ever
beautiful scenery, the Central Normal
School promises to become in time one
Of the great educational institutions OF
Pennsylvania. Certainly such n fu.
ture is in its reach, and let il be the
pride, the pleasure and the duty ofthe
Boards Of Trustees Of the present and
the future to secure such management
as will bring to the institution the high
est measure OF prosperity Of which it
is capable. The treasure should be
well guarded, for II is an incidentally
valuable acquisition to the community.
The following is tho present Board
of Trustees, and, with but one or two
exceptions, it is the same that has ac-
ted since the laying Of the cornerstone (:

The Senate

The extra session admitted Kel-
logg and Butler as Senators for
Louisiana and South Carolina, and
on last Monday Mr.. Eustis of Lou>
isiana took his seat. Now, class
ing Judge Davis with the Demo>
Gratis. (Which we believe We may
safely do on all important issues,
we have "a Senate composed of 81
Democrats and 80 Republicans, with
two of the latter nunlber-Sharon
and Biaine-still absent. 1t is GER
tain that the Democrats will come
into control of the Senate within
the next fifteen months, as the leg
islature of Ohio, already elected,
and Democratic i'll both branches,
will elect Senator to succeed STAN
ley Matthews OH the 4th of March,
1879. Besides this, the Democrats
are almost certain to gain four or
five Senators from Alabama, Florida,
South Carolina and Arkansas. with
good chances in some other States,
and no probability OF losing one in
any State.
In IA recent article regarding the
causes which have produced this
great change in the relative strength
lOt the two parties in the Senate, the
New York Tfib ne makes a plain
that the Republican par
ty has broken itself down by its own
abuses and disregard of fairness and
justice. The Tribune says that
" Democratic Senators were exclud-
ed not because they were not elects
ed, but because the majority saw
fit to serve party ends; and states
were long deprived of representa>
ton, not because they were not
states, but because their elections
did not please the Senatorial major
ity." This was a true bill III every
resrect, and the admission of KEEL
logg since the T. bune's article was
writ. en- adds another to these GU! :
RACES. 1t will contribute, we doubt
not, 10 future defeats of the Radio Il
party, and to the inevitable over.
throw Of their waning power i'll the
Senate.
We have spoken above only of
the non.indL strength of the two
parties. In respect to measures of
present prominence, we do not be
lieve that the Republicans can rely
upon a majority in a single instance.
They have no majority against the
Presidents southern policy nor his
civil service rules-bOth of which
are warmly supported by Booth,
Ohristiancy, Matthews and other
Republican Senators, and by all the
Democrats. They cannot defeat
any of the Presidents nominations
without Democratic help, and it is
not likely that Democrats will unite
with such extremists as Conkling,
Blaine and Edmunds to defeat any
nominee of the President. They
have no party majority in favor
of any financial policy, and none
in favor of a protective tariff. On
all these prominent and important
questions the majority is more like.
~ to be on the side upon which the
great body of Democrats will be
found than on that taken by mas
iority of the Republicans. We may
say that the Republicans
have already lost control of the
and that their strength in
that body will be still further re
duced within the next two years.

A Lucky Find.

Meridian Mercury
We learn that John Holden, the
Surveyor of Perry county, while
out surveying a few days since,
found thirty>tive thousand and six
hundred dollars, the money deposl>
ted some time ago by Wages, Me-
Grath and copeland, as related i'll
DR.. Pitts Life of James COPELAND.
If this be true, there is more
truth than poetry in DR.. Pitts book
containing the revelations of the
Wages clan.
The finding according to accounts
is to he attributed to the sensi-
tiveness and the yearDing of the
needle to the "silyer dollors of our
fathers" The surveyor found his
needles so agitated by mysterious
attraction that he made a search
for concealed metals; and he and
a companion scratched up this lit
tie pile, 5000 in the 'ESilver dollars, .
balance in gold, which they divided
between them.
We ask them both now, as we
are for hoDoring silver again by
ldW1 10 S0uO us pZ.UO OdCu Oh the
find and take the Mercury one year.
The facts, briefly. as stated in DIR.
Pitts book are Copeland, in his
confession to DIR. Pitts, before he
was hung, said he had hid away
the said sum of money, and taken
field notes OF the locality and made
diagram to guide him to the spot
again. In his subsequent battle in
Harvey's field, where he, McGrath,
Hardin, Pool and Copeland went to
assassinate him, Harvey, he lost
his diagram and notes and was
never able to find it again. The
Doctor always had an impression
that Wages and McGrath, Cope>
lands confederates, who were kill
ed by Harvey, had taken up the
money withoutR Copeland's knowl-
edge and moved it. 1t is said, in
connection with the report that the
lucky finders discovered the names
of these men cut in the bark of
trees near the place.
