From me Syracuse Standard.
Apair Of vases which fetched $27, 500

picked up in Rome by a cOnnoisseur trav-

were bought for J. Forman wilkinson +,

about $3.50 in francs. Anything Of the

DEAR SIR-0n saturday | wrote you

which made my voyage from Albany eX-
actly 30 hours. We had a little wind on
Friday morning, but no waves which pro-
duced any effect. ! have been making
every eXertion TO get of on Monday NOM
ing, but there has been much work TO do
boarding all the sides, decking over the
boiler and works, finishing each cabin
with II berths to make them comfortable,
and STRENGTHENING many parts OF the IRON
works. SO much to do, and the rain,
which delays the caulkers, will, | fear,
not let me off till Wednesday morning.
Then, however, the boat will be as COM
plete as she can be made-all strong and
in good order and the men well organized,
and, l hope, nothing to do but to run her
tor six weeks or two months. The
first week, that is If she
starts on Wednesday, she will
make one trip to Albany and back. Every
succeeding week he will run three trips
that is, two to Albany and one to New
York, or two to New York and one to
Albany, always having Sunday and four
nights for rest to the crew. BY carrying

but the steamboat will have the prefer

Gas War.

AUGUSTA, GA, April 1.-THE gas war
still continues, and has attracted great
interest during the last two days. Yes
terday the Augusta Gaslight Company
appeared before the City Council by rep
resentative and asked OF the Council a
contract securing to the company the sole
right of the use OF the streets, and ptotier-
ing gas for city use at nominal
figures. The Council referred the
matter to a select committee to report
back to-day. The new company held a
meeting, denounced monopoly, offered 10
furnish the city with better gas at cheap
er rates, and denied the right OF the COun-
Gil to enter into a twenty-year contract
with the Augusta company. The decision
of the Council is eagerly awaited, and
may result in another war in the courts.

A SCHEME N1PpED IN THE BUD.
Chief Drunm pud Arrests Two Counter
feiters who Worked on an EXTENSIVE
Plan.
Rrom 1he Nel0 YORK. World.

From The Ne0 York World.
A welI-arranged scheme of two Colem-
bians by which they proposed to swindle
the unsuspecting Colonies to the tune of
several hundred thousand dollars by
means of c|leverly executed counterfeit
bills. was neatly blocked saturday by the
arrest of the cOunterfeiters by Chief
Drummond, OF the United states Secret
Service.
Feb. p Ramon Ruiz, a West Indian
Spaniard. aged about 40, and Ramon
Arizona, from Colon, secured rooms at No.
~ Union Square and proceeded to pur-
chase large quantities Of paper, type and
numbering machines. At the same time
they ordered of one of the largest firms in
the country fine plates for printing green
back notes on the BancO del Estoda de
Bolivar at Colon for ten pesos, or nearly
$40 each. This was accompanied by an
order for 100000 worth of the notes, and
four days later an order for 500, coo more,
which the firm printed and delivered.
some time ago the officers OF the Secret
Service learned Of the operations Of Ruiz
and Arizona. The men were located and
Swallowed until sufficient evidence was
secured to Justify their arrest and deten-
ton. Friday night the cOnfederates Wis
tied Barnum's circus, as did also the de-
tectiyes. who watched their every move
ment. Yesterday morning Ruiz was
arrested at Pearl street and Broadway,
n some hours later Arizona was arrested
in mis- room in Union square. Tney were
taken before Commissioner Shields, held
in $1,000 bonds and were locked up in
Ludlow street Jail pending examination
tomorrow.
The counterfeit notes were unsigned,
but the swindlers had a number of good
notes in their possession, from some of
which they mad cut the signatures. These
they were p%racticIng on preparatory to
completing the bogus notes for market.
ClimacO CalderO, the Colombian Consul,
was shown some of the counterieits, and
pronounced them dangerously like the
genuine. The name of the firm who made
the plates aud printed the notes is with
held by the authorities, as it ia claimed
that they acted innocently. Nevertheless,
as the case is similar to that in which a
prominent st. Louis firm vas adjudged
liable for damages some time since, it is
very probable That they will be made to
sutfer.
