COUNTERFEITERS CAUGHT.
Arrest of a Gang in New York who OPP
Grated i'll Six States.


One of the most extensive arrests OF
male and female cOunterfeiters, who cir
culated the bogus coin in almost every
State i'll the Union, was made last night
and this morning by Chief DrummOnd. of
the Treasury Department, and his force,
assisted by United States Deputy Mar
shals. The gang had its headquarters in
this city, and the Chief has been working
up their case since last August,
The first person captured was George
l.. Stanley, the alleged manufacturer of
counterfeit trade and "Bland'' dollars.
He fought desperately against the officers,
but he was overcome and handcuffed.
The next to be taken into custody were
Matthew J, Rooney and Hugh Curry. who
offered no resistance. These arrests were
made on the street.
Thomas Riley, Thomas II. Kearney and
his reputed wife-Lena-we arrested at
their homes last night. Patrick Smith,
Mrs. Jennie Holden, the wife of Jim Hol-
den, now in prison for passing counter
felt money, were arrested this morning at
their dwellings. The two latter were ar
raigned IN court shortly afterward, when
they were held for examination. Mrs.
Rooney is charged with passing the bad
money. So also is Smith. who admitted
having ''shOYedn quite a lot of it in BaIti-
more, Md. Rooney and Riley are dealers
in the coin, while Curry engage in circu-
lating it, as did also Kearney and his re-
puted wife.
When Jim Hollands term expires in the
AOrristown jail, and the three months
sentence of Ann Mckinley, another of the
gang, now in NewtOwn n. j. prison for
passing bad money also expires, they will
be brought here and punished for their
connection with the gang. The 0pera.
tions of the gang have extended through
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Kentucky,
Virginia, Maryland and this State.
Kearney and his reputed wife, and Riley
and Curry were held for examination.
Indictments have been found against
Stanley and Rooney for selling three hun.
dred counterfeit trade dollars at Perth
AmbOy, n. j., and in case their identity
is established they will be sent to New
Jersey for trial.

Frances Tonquin Expedition.

PARIS, April 3O.-The national expedi-
ton to TOnquin has produced such excite
ment in China that it is deemed prudent
to retain several French iron clads near
Shanghai and Hong Kong. Therefore

ceed to Tonquin. 1t is expected
that Capt. Kergaradec, the,French Envoy
to AMMAN, will be appointed Lieutenant
Governor of TOnquin when the protec-
torate is established. 1t is stated that
the French Minister to Pekin, who was
ordered to return home, has been in
structed to remain at Pekin until further
orders
