 The Trinity M. E. church, corner of Dwight and George streets. is progressing rapidly. The walls of the main building are up except the steeple and the skaters are putting on the roof, the north side being nearly covered. The foundation walls of the lecture and Sun day school rooms are in position and part of the brick walls also. The architect is MT. Lawrence J. Vaulk, of New York city, and the general design is after Plymouth church of Brooklyn, N. Y. The main entrance to the church is on Dwight street, while the entrance to the lecture room will be from George street. The outside course of brick of the main structure laid in black mor- tar and the building presents most substan- tial and imposing appearance. The seats in the main auditorium will be gradually elevated from front to rear, thereby giving the audi ence full view of the minister's desk The carpenter builder is William P.

PARKERsBURG, September 16.-It will be
remembered that the Alkire brothers, who
were arrested in this city during the re-
union on a charge of passing counterfeit
money, alleged to have received the spuri-
Gus coin from one Jacob Hashman, Of
Richie County. A warrant for his arrest
was placed in the hands of Deputy U. s.
Marshall Gibbons of this city, who, ac-
companied by Captain J. w. Haggarty, OF
Haggartys detective agency, proceeded to
the home of Hashman, who lives about seven
miles north of EllenbOro, and succeeded in
arresting him about two o'clock Saturday
morning. A man named Miller, who was
found in company with Hashman, was
taken in charge, but afterwards made his
escape, and from subsequent developments

ey was found on their persons, but one
small tool supposed to requisite in the
manufacture OF counterfeit coin was found
in Hashman's pocket. The officers have
obtained some points that are valuable and
further developments are looked Tor: 1t
has been suspected for some time that there
is a gang of counterfeiters in that section
of the country. and it is TO be hoped that
they will be discovered and brought to JUS
