Pension Bureau.
WASHINGTON, May 10.- Commissioner of
PENSIONS Black has recently made thorough
examination OF that branch of the special ex-
animation division Of the bureau known as the
army and navy survivors branch, which is
charged with the duty of securing and placing
on hle the names and addresses Of
ex.soldiers and sailors of the Union, with the
object of aiding applicants for pensions to Sc
cure the evidence necessary to the final adiudi-
cation OF their claims, as well as of placing the
office in communication with reliable men, as
protection against fraud. As a result of his
examination, Commissioner Black has decided
to enlarge the scope of the work Committed to
it, and to-day issued on order organizing new
division of the pension bureau. He has ap-
pointed as its chief, Major Frank H. Butts of
New York, who served throughout the war in
the 47th New York Vsteran Volunteers, and

ADangerous Connterfe,,.

WASHINGTON May l9.-About q year ago
the secret service detectives succeeded in un-
earthing new form of spurious money. The
hrst specimens were genuine bank notes, which
had been split in two, and counterfeit back
or face pasted on the good half, as the case
might be. The secret service officers have
never been able TO discover how these notes
were split Certainly the government has no
machinery in its possession capable of per-
forming the work, and up to this day the
mysterious process is yet unsolved. The offend
ers are still at large, and while the officers
have suspected many of the older counterfeit
ers they have never bsen able to get suffi cent
proof to warrant their arrest. Comparatively
few of these spurious split notes are in circu-
lation. Occasionally one turns up for redemp-
tlon at the Treasury, but the clue to the makers
seemed as far off as ever. Yesterday Chief
Brooks sent two specimens to Treasurer Jor-
dan for his inspection. These showed that the
counterfeiters had taken treasury notes instead
of bank bills, and had been successful in max
ing an issue which would deceive any one but
an expert, unless a careful scrutiny of both
sides was made. In 1869 the government Of
hcials were amazed at the discovery that Tom
Bullard, the notorious counterfeiter, was able
to make paper which even the Treasury ex-
perts could not detect from the genuine used
in the printing Of bonds and bills. Thsn the
process was slightly modified, SO that the paper
used ut the present time has the silk fibre on
the surface of the note instead OF running
through as formerly. While this has the ad-
vantage of increasing the danger of coun ter
feits where the silk was initiated with red and
blue ink marks, it has been more than coun-
terhslanced by the appearance of these split
notes, which could not be made with the old
papers. An investigation of this subject will
probably be ordered, the object being to head
of this comparatively new scheme of tho coun n
terfeiters,

Case Disnissed,

The case of William j. Conley, who
is charged with committing felonious
assault on little girl, 10 years of age,
named Elizabeth Gillespie, was taken
up yesterday The accused was,represent-
cd by Harry Sharpley, ESQ. The evi
dence OF the child was heard, to the ef-
feet that on Sunday, May 3lst, she went
with Conley TO the stables of the Ken.

Third street bridge, where he is en-.
ployed as horse-shOer, and that while
they were in the stable he attem pied to
commit an outrage on her. She said
that she cried, and finally, when he de-
sisted, he took her to q place where
there was some water, and made her
wash her face. He afterwards told
her that he would give her 40 cents il
she would not tell what had happened.
Her mother Afterwards found some OF
the money, and made her tell how she
got it. The child gave very circum.
stantial account of the affair, and ad-
hered to it, notwithstanding the CROSS
examination of Mr.. Sharpley. The
Judge deeming the evidence not auffi-
cient to hold him, dismissed the case.

The ADVANCE In MIX.

The Philadelphia Record says Milk
buyers aud milk sellers in the city, and
the farmers and others who supply the
milk to both are in furry over the
summer prices, which have been to some
extent fixed by the producers, who have
advanced centa quart, the former
price being 8 cents. They have been
at great pains to announce this advance
so as to give the dealers and retailers a
fair excuse to give the consum ers a
raise. The result generally has been
that the dealers have advanced from 6
to I and the retailers from i to 8 cents,
thus fairly getting the biggest end of
the boom. One or two dealers have,
however, refused to give in to the Ship
pers' Association, and offer to deliver
milk all over the city for cents a
quart. How long this opposition to
regular prices may be kept up is un-
certain, but as yet it does not appear to
give the association much concern.

Labor aud Ntrikers.

The employees of nearly all the saw
mills in Bay City, Michigan, struck
yesterday for ten hours as a days work.
Both sides are confident of victory. The
mill men claim they have more lumber
on the docks now than they want. The
mill owners advise the strikers TO ap-
point committee and have the matter
settled by arbitration.
Twelve hundred striking iron
workers marched into Cleveland, Ohio,
yesterday morning, and halted In front
of the general offices of the Cleveland
Rolling Mill Co. Several of the strikers
spoke to the officers of the company,
demanding return to the old wages
and a semi-monthly payday. The
manager of the mills said the wages
decided on to be paid July 1st would
be adhered to as long as business was
in its present depressed condition, and
that settlement in full for wages due
every two weeks was not possible. The
men then went to their hall and were
addressed by the Mayor. The employees
