couNTERFEITERs IN CUSTODY
There four before the United States
Commissioners yesterday OF persons charged with
having in their possession attempting to pass
counterfeit. five dollar notes tho National State
Bank Of Troy. N. Y. William Cun. alias Frank Ben-
nett. arrested by Chief Drummond. OF tho secret
service division. last Saturday. brought up be-
fore United States Commissioner Shields for exam-
nation. Mr.. Drummond the only witness for
the prosecution. testified that he arrested
cluR about four O'Clock Saturday afternoon in
Beecker street. near Sixth avenue. and brought him
to his rooms in the Federal building. Upon search
ing the prisoner s1.0s5 in counterfeit fvedollar
notes the State National Bank Of Troy were found
distributed in packages in various pockets of his
clothing The money found counted and marked
in tho prisoners presence. Mr.. Drummond said
that he could not testify that he the accused at
tempt to pass any Of the counterfeit money offer
1t to any At this Counsellor Oliver. who APP
pearcd for the accused moved for the discharge of
his client on the ground of want Of evidence of
crininality. He argued that tho fact that counter
felt money was found in tho possession OF the
cusod not sufficient for viction tho statute
required that tho prosecution should not only prove
this, but also intent detraud Tho motion will
be further argued before Commissioners Shields this
morning. and meanwhile Cluf was again taken to
Ludlow Street jail in default OF $4,000 bail.
Two other persons arrested by the police o
suit of tho order sent out from headquarters to look
out fOr the new couutcrlclt, Wero pfougnl Dcrore
Commissioner Shields during the day. Lizzie Owen
arrested for attempting to pass one or the bills
upon John M Quilan. OF No. 23O Ninth avenue. and
John Williams tor Offering one to Solomon Lazarus.
of No. 118 Eighth avenue. They were committed in
default of $4,000 bail each for examination to-day
James Kelley was taken from the Tombs and brought
before United States Commissioner Osborne tor offer
ing of tho bills Richard Jacob OF No. 81 East
Fourth street. and held in $500 bail for exanina
ton to-day. Warrants issued yesterday for
number or other persons who are charged with hav-
ing passed this counterfeit and thoir arrest Is
sured
A large number of persons called at tho Commits
sionors' offices during the day and reported that
they had taken the counterfeit without sus-
picion. and were able III some Instances to do
scribe the persons from whom they received it. An
amusing story was related Of q prisoner in one of
the police courts, who paid half OF u $40 hne for
drunken and disorderly conduct with ono Of tho
counterfeit bills and escaped from the court before
its nature discovered. The officers the secret
service are confident that from $4,000 to $4,000 of
tho counterfeit on the State National Bank Of Troy
was distributed Saturday among the dealers but
that the prompt arrest OF Cluf, who is looked upon
go-between. and OF the others in attempting to
pass the money, has probably prevented any imme
diate iood OF the money.

fly around thickly and every moment news
comes of more deaths and injuries. As
far as heard from there are eight known
to be dead and over forty wounded. with
prospects that many of them will die from
their injuries 1t is impossible to get the
particulars; everybody is excited, women

the sufferings of all.

slight jar but paid small attention to it:
fortunately drifts had just been connected

ground. The shock was felt on the sur
