WASHINGTON, November 26.-0ne of the
most interesting places among the depart
ments is the secret service division in the
Treasury Building. Chief Brooks has just
cast up footing of the rascals he has
caught, and the counterfeiting equipment
he has captured during the year. He says
that 393 persons were arrested for making
or passing bogus money, and four for rails
ing United States notes, and eight men
were arrested for gliding the new nickels
and passing them. Zone ofthe most inter
estiug branches of counterfeits," said Col.
Brooks, "is the practice of pass
ing these advertising bills made
to represent green5acks. Down
South thousands of them have been put of
on the negroes who can not read. They
are printed-some of them very well-in
good green ink, and fine skill is shown in
the designing while the genuine greenback
is copied almost literally so far asthe word

MlnDLEBoRo, Mass, November 26.-For

has been at work perfectiug machine for
perpetual motion, and now claims to have
attained success. His contrivance is a
simple arrangement, has no cogs or gears,
and the model could be placed in a half,
peck measure with ease. AS yet it has
been exhibited to no one, the inventor
preferring, as he says, to keep his
prize from the eye of the public at least
until his model has been finished and

TWO THEORIES ADVANCED.

BRoekIYF, November 25.-It has been
demonstrated now that thieves cannot only
break out Of the Kings county penitentiarS,
but can also break into il. The prison looks
very secure from the outside, for it is sur
rounded by high walls and the windows are
protected by stout iron bars. Furthermore,
there are watehmen who are supposed to be
always around and prepared to resist any
attempted intrusion from the outside as well
as to prevent any escape from the inside.
The idea of an attempt being by burglars
to break into the prison would seem to be
ridiculous. To the unprofesslonal thief it
would look ike walking directly into the
mouth. 1t is not surprising, therefore, that
Warden Green, who prides himself upon
his good management Of the institution
should be slightly vexed when he was in.
formed this morning that burglars had
broken into the penitentiary and robbed the
safe in the shoe shop Of all the money that
had been brought there yesterday to pay of
the employees. 1t appears that the bur
glars entered the window of the shoe shop on
the Carol street side. They used stout
iron bar or sectional jimmy, and pried the
bars Of the windows apart When they got
on the inside they forced the door of the Of
fee open. Once in the Office they began
operations on the safe, which must have
soon Welded to the force they put it. They
took upwards of s., 900, which the Bay State
and Leather company had sent there yester-
DAY 10 pay of the outside help. Mr.. Back,
he superintendent says he does not see hos
he burglars could have accomplished the
burglary without being heard. WatcLman
Reed said he heard a sound, and he was in
be hallway. The first knew Of the rob
aery,' said the watchman, was when ]
rcd the Office door this morning; then ]
'ound there was something wrong. | looked
at the windows and found the bars had been
pried. do not know how they could get
The safe open" Several detectives have
been sent out to the penitentiary to see il
they can obtain any clue as to who the
burglars we're. That they we're profession
ais there is no room to doubt, and they Ger
'ainly knew that the money to pay of the
men had just been placed in the safe.

Anxiety Over the Overdue Mailship
Colon.
New YORK, November ga report
reached this city late last night which has
caused great uneasiness among those hay
ing lrleads on board the racine mau steam
ship Colon, which left this port for Panama
last Thursday. The report said she had
signaled the Mallory line steamer State oi
iexas about twenty miles south OF Hatteras,
showing signals of distress: The superIn
.endent of the Pacific Mali CompanyS lin"
when asked in regard to the report stated
that he or none OF the officers Of the
line placed any credence in it.
The Colon" he said could not
have been at where the report places
her at that time" He further stated that
Captain Porter, Of the Colon, would not
have permitted the State Of Texas to have
passed without sending some communica,
tion to us. The officers Of the company
have two theories as to the origin Of the re
port that it was the Colon. First, that who,
ever displayed the signals on the disabled
vessel got them mixed, and unconsciously
displayed the signals in use by the steamers
Of the line; and, secondly, that they were
read wrong by the master Of the State OF
Texas They expressed themselvet as con-
Gdent that the vessel is not the Colon.
