Frauds I'm Gold and Silver Pieces-Many
Silver Coins in Circulation with Holes
Punched i'm Them-Devices Of Swim,
dlers and Counterfeiters.
Secretary Sherman some time ago drew
attention to the large amount of defaced
coins in circulation, and the subject was
practically brought to the notice of a
Tribune reporter recently. He rendered
a bill to the cashier at the Sinclair house
and received in change silver dollar,
half-dollar and quarter. Each one of
these had a hole punched through it, the
one in the silver dollar being large
enough to allow the reporters pencil to
be passed through. Now the occasional
appearance of any of the smaller gold
coins with hole through them excites
no suspicion, as they are frequently used
on bangles and watch chains, but few
people ever think of making ornaments
out of such coins as dimes and quarters,
or the ponderous silver pieces of larger
value. And if these were used for such
purpose it would not account for the
loss of from ten to fifteen per cent. of the
metal in the shape of an unsightly hole.
When people want to make an ornament
OF the coin, jeweler drills in it hole
just large enough to attach thin wire
ring. to it. In each of the three coins
alluded to nearly one-tenth of the metal
was missing, and the holes had not been
neatly bored, but punched out.
Of course it has been punched out"
observed the cashier. "'There is no
doubt somebody buys them up for that
purpose. and makes quite a good thing
out of it. It's regular nuisance"
Has it increased of latep"
To the best of my belief it is increas-
ing every day. l receive at this desk
from seventy-fve to 100 per diem, and
there must be more taken at the other
cashiers desks, because the payments
made there are in larger amounts, as
rule. have pieces offered with the en-
tire center punched out, and which, like
the Japanese coins made to thread on a
string, were more of a ring than coin.
VI course, If a good customer offers
them we cannot very well refuse them,
but they are of no use to us except for
change. We get rid of most of them in
that way, and the rest we sell to brokers
at a discount Of from ten to fifteen per
cent, for the banks refuse them"
TherepOrter afterward made inquiries
at various places where silver coins
were received largely. At Daniels and
several other stores on Broadway, and
at various restaurants and bar-rooms.
the same story was told of the neon
venience arising from this wholesale
mutilation of coin. The cashier at
Nash & Crooks said: elf the Tribune

PHILADELPHIA, July oth.--The glori-

cidents has passed away to the resting
place of its predecessors amid a cloud
of sulphurous smoke and fire. Yes,

over his burnt face and missing

arms but the field of labor was so
extensive that the order was modified,
and all firearms found in use were to
be confiscated. The result was that
the policemen reaped veritable har-
vest of cheap firearms. There was
grand time at the Permanent Exhibi
ton, where the Fourth of July orator
spouted his patriotic eloquence, and
threw tacit hints of the coming cam
paign. There were organ solos, cor
net solos, bicycles with fashionable
young men upon them, military drill
ings, singing, dancing, plenty of in
pid lemonade, an army of newsboys,
md everything calculated to make one

FoRNEY's FREAK.
The action of Col. J. w. Forney,
of the Progress, in advocating Han
cock for the Presidency has excited
no little attention, and many COM
ments. The general opinion is that
if Forney was Republican and a
man was nominated whom he did not
favor, the best thing that the Colonel
should do was to keep himself silent
on the subject. With this action of
Col. Forney the Democracy claims
another of its "prodigal sons " to its
outstretched arms, once more. The
first one to return to the Democratic
family, after an absence Of about nine
years, was Daniel Dougherty, Esq,
the "silver-tongued :" orator, who in
moment of playful innocence at the

A WARNING.

The managers of the Convention
called to meet at Taylor Opera House
on Thursday next will do well to read
the communication of DR.. Garnet,
published in another column. And
they will do well to follow his advice.
The SENTINEL has thoroughly ven
tilated the folly of this proposed mid
summer fiasco. Nearly one-half of
the alleged signers of the call have
repudiated it; the intelligent repre-
sentative colored men throughout the
State have almost universally an
nounced their opposition to it; the
Washington Exodus, which was sup
posed to be peculiarly favorable to the
scheme, has pointed out the unfortun-
ate selection Of the time for holding
the Convention and practically adj
vised a change of date; the local
committee have neither the brains nor
the industry to make the necessary ar
engagements, and the local sentiment
is unmistakably against it.
If, in view of these facts, the man.
ayers persist in holding the Conven-
ton, they do it to their own injury.
The press and the people have warned
them. They will do well to take heed.

The Republicans Of Lincoln district,
Marion county, had an enthusiastic meet
ing on last Saturday, October Cd.
The posters had only been upthreedays,
but a large crowd gathered-the largestin
fact ever known inWorthipgton at any pc.
litical meeting since the war. The shlnn.
ston cornet band, one OF the best in the
interior OF the State, was present and en-
liyened the occasion with some stirring
music. "Lieutenant General g. w. At
kinson, OF Wheeling, and Ex-Governor
Pierpoint, Of Fairmont, arrived at 2 O'Clock
P. ~. and the meeting was organized by
calling DR.. G, W. Wyatt to the chair. The
chairman introduced Mr.. Atkinson, who
spoke for one hour and thirty minutes.
Every sentence was an unanswerabe ar
gument against the Democratic party. He
first gave several reasons why he was q
Republican, and atterward In aseries Of
Questions wanted to know why some Of
those present were Democrats, but none
were present who would volunteer an an.
swer.
on the tariff question was 80 simple, yet
exhaustive, that school boy sixteen
wears old could comprehend II. He was
frequently interrupted by applause.
When he mentioned the fact that the
common people had risen up In 1910 and
elected VIM. Henry Harrison President
the applause was considerable. When he
said the same class had, twenty years later,
elected the "Rail.splitter Of the West"
the cheering was loud and long; but when
he said the same class would again, alter
twenty years, place the Canal Boy Of
Ohio" James A. Garfield, In the White
House, the enthusiasm had reached a
climax and could be controlled no longer,
and the cheering was simply deafening.
He was followed by Gov. Pierpoint, who
smoke for over two hours, striking the
Democracy with his sledge.hammer ticks.
The old war Governor has lost none oil
his old time vim, and Is doing valiant
fighting for the cause. Some Democrats,
who we're full OF the Bourbon inspiration,
attempted to break the meeting up with a
row, but they failed in this.
The Democrats had had meeting two
days before ours, and after advertising a
week had an audience OF 55 Democrats. II
Republicans, Z Greenbackers, 10 boys and
4 ladies. Our audience was composed OF
ever three hundred persons. James Nor
row ,Jr, addressed the Democratic meeting,
his peech being nothing more than atissue
OF misstatements, such as that the Demo.
cratic party founded the free schools; that
the Republican party opposed the Next
can war, etc. He afterward very infinitely
explained the organization oil the Repub:
lican party, more than ten years after the
beginning Of the Mexican war. John W.
Mccoy spoke for a short time to a small
audience, closing with FIVE Democrats and
one Republican. Marion county will give
a good account Of herself on October 18th
and November I'd. S. X. JACOB.
