counterfeit Coin.

The cashier of the State Savings
Bank informed THE HERALD repor-
ter yesterday that there has been a
large number OF counterfeit silver half
dollars placed in circulation in the city
within the past few days. The bank
has refused several of them. The coun-
terfeit is well made, of q bright color,
looks very new, light weight, 1876
and 1877 issue. 1t will deceive even
those that are used to handling coin,
as the fact that some merchants un.
knowingly receive them, testiiles. The
bank officials think the spurious coin
was placed in circulation about Satur-
day last, "a that was the first day any
was presented at the bank.

Mr.. Ash. Pryor, (who was known to
be on a hot trail OF the escaped prison.

from certain suspicious action Of the

Night Associated Press Roport.l
Nrhe Daily News correspondent, re.
sumlng his narrative OF the operations
before Plevna, which he had previous
ly carried down to Friday, under date
OF -----, before Plevna, Saturday, Sep-
TENDER s, 8 p. M, says:
When the cannonade recommended
this morning, it was not easy, at first,
to recognize that the Russians had
gained any advantage. Just before
the parapet, the Grivica redoubt, had
been good deal jagged by Russian
shells, but under cover Of night all Its
defects had been made good and II
looked as trim MS IL never shot had
been fired at 1t.
But the Russians had during the
night gained u large slice of ground
in the direction of Grlyica, and a bat
terry OF Siege guns had been built on an
elevation, within easy range of the re-
doubt. AT sunrise that battery came
into action in rear of the advanced
battery and sent its fire sweeping down
into the redoubt, which could not re-
ply to the siege battery. The range
being too long, 1t pounded away ut the
field batteries on the ridge, but the
practice was not good and few CASUAL
ties occurred.
The Russian siege battery made adj
mirable practice at the Grivica re-
doubt, which is the key to the posi-
ton, and instead of spreading their
fire, the Russians should have concen-
trated upon it the whole weight Of the
bopbardment. AS 1t is, they may
lombard for week, and after all not
succeed in taking 1t.
The assault was intended to bagin
yesterday afternoon, at five o'clock,
but, owing to delays, the troops were
not in position by the appointed time.
Everywhere now the infantry is in
position waiting the word, forward.
AT noon the Russian infantry pushed
forward in skirmishing order, driving
back the outlying Turks. The artillery
followed and came into action at short
range. The Turkish batteries return
the fire, chiefly directed at the Rus
SLAMS first line of artillery, which is
very heavy. But little harm is done.
Farther on the left, to the crest OF
the range beyond KadizOva, which
was one array Of field batteries, the
firing was very heavy, the Turkish
shells doing great harm among the
gunners and falling beyond, among
the infantry OH the reserve slope and
in Radizova. AT three O'Clock the
Russians advanced toward the Turkish
position and continued to fire rather
quickly. The fire must have reached
Into Plevna.
There are no indications OF an rs.
sault to-day. / believe 1t will be COM
menced tomorrow. The Russian can.
non Is drawing close around the Turk
ish positions, but the test will not be
with cannon, but with the prowess OF
the men. The losses were much
heavier to-day than yesterday.

A Daring Boys Fate.

A disaster is reported from Coboconk,
County of Victoria. Late one afternoon
last week., > son. of Mr.. j. Campbell
saw deer crossing a sinafi lake in the
neighborhOod of his fathers farm. The
lad resolved 10 follow. the apiInal. Away
went the deer across the ice, at full
speed, and after it rushed the boy, who
was very fleet-footed. Suddenly, and
when about 400 yards from the shore,
the ice, began to icrack. Still the boy
ran on. All at once the fee gave way
under him, and down he went. He
managed to keep himself from being
drawn under the zee, bhn Tailed to find
any strong enough to bear his weight;
and as effort after effort failed. the dar-
ing youth saw that all he could DO was
to endeavors to reach a rock about fifty
yards off. By dint of the most strenu-
Gus endeavors-by half running and half
dragging his body through the ice-the
heroic boy reached the rock. All this
time he had been crying for help. When
he reached the rock he renewed his cries
with greater vigor He was heard by
his parents, who rushed To the lake side.
The night was bitterly cold, yet time
and again did the grief-stricken parents
attempt a journey over the ice, only to
find it give way, and themselves thrown
into the terrible cold water What was
to be done? Father and mother, wiring
ing their hands, rushed along the lake
side in vain hope that they might find a
boat. Neighbors also engaged in the
search. The boy sat on the rock for
several hours; the shades of evening
still found him there with no hopes Of
being rescued; his cries for help became
fainter and fainter. His parents saw
him make signal with his hands and
then fall into the water. All was over;
the boy was sitting on the rock for
hours, DIRE. ched to the skin, and had
persisted through sheer exhaustion in
the sight of his parents, powerless to
save him.-Toronto Nail. D

Hunting for a Missing Bride.

On Thursday morning last two men
called on Esquire Haywood, of Con-
shohocken, and told a singular story.
They said that on Wednesday evening a
wedding was to have taken place be-
tween a young lady living in Green's
bOro, Perry County, Pa, and young
man from Nebraska. The bride and
her friends took charge of the arrange
ments, but when the hour for the -cere-
mony arrived the lady was missing. 1t
was soon reported that she had fled the
place to avoid the marriage. The groom
repaired to the nearest Justice of the
Peace, and swore out search-warrant
to arrest the body of the "stolen" bride
wherever she might be found. She has
an aunt living at Spring Mill, this coun-
ty, to whom it was thought she might
have gone. The Constable and his
friend had ridden all night on the cars

Esquire Haywood to indorse the war
rant, which he did, at the same time ad
vising them that their mode OF proceed
ing was not well chosen. Whether they
got the lady is not -Norristoun
