BOGUS BILLS

Description Of tho New SP"rlo"" FIHe-n"!-
lar Silver Certificates.
CNCINXATE, July 22.-SeCret Service
officers are securing the country East
and West for the men who are 30 sue
cessfully hoating the new counterfeit
five-dollar silver certificates. A Third
street bank has the following descrip-
ton OF the bogus bill posted up where
the receiving teller can keep his eye
on it:
The new counterfeit five-dollar silver
certificate, check letter D-20l7, is well
executed, and will deceive the unwary,
the color OF the Treasury numbers and
seal being excellent. The most notice
able defect will he found in the portrait
OF General Grant, which has very
sCratchy appearance, and lacks the life
like expression OF the genuine. The
shading on the left side Of Gen. Grants
face, which is very distinct in the gem
uine, is not in the counterfeit. White
patches appear all over the right side OF
General Grants face in the counter
felt. The stud on the shirt front is
also missing. The etching lines sur
rounding the portrait are cut deeper in
the genuine, making them much darker
than the counterfeit, and giving the por-
trait more life-like and Glear-cut ex-
preston. On the medallion on the back
OF the note the figure 20" in the date
1886 is poorly done, and it looks more
like the figure 0. The dark green lines
encircling the medallion, representing
the milling OF the coin, is almost invisi-
BILE in the counterfeit, giving the pic.
tured coin a fiat appearance, while in the
genuine it stands out in bold relief. The
entire face of the counterfeit is lighter
than the genuine. The check letters
"D" in the genuine have the ending in
the scroll crossing the perpendicular
line, but in the counterfeit the termina.
ton is n small loop outside Of the line.
The letter in "Silver Certificate" " at the
top OF the note, are crooked, particularly
the first | in certificate. The words
"Register OF the Treasury" under the
signature of W. S. Rosecrans, are also
badly and irregularly printed.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 22.-I learn
the West Virginia Central Railroad
Company's semi.anuual report, soon to
be issued, will be much more favorable
than the last. The net earnings are O
hundred per cent larger than for the
same period last year, the amount being
$l09, ,2e6. The Senatorial company is
considered as flying high when it can
show this surplus over the cost OF its
great coal shipment. The iudicious ad-
ministration OF its Secretary, Col. Moore,
late of Fairmont, accounts mainly for
the good showing. Henry g. Davis,
President Of the company, is registered
at the Arlington.

resolutions were presented with long
Introductory in lillian and went through
with rush.
Fist-This meeting condemns the
action OF the Italian societies OF lmml-

Second-That we. obeyinG the laws oil
this glorious Republic, pray, and hope
no law of ostraCism will be passed

stock has decided, after mature delibera-
ton, and conference with his hackers in
the Society for the Suppression OF Vice,
TO move against the further exhibition
OF pictures and wax works on the sub
ject OF the Passion. There has been in
the Eden Musee for long time series
OF tableaux in wax representing the pro-
gress OF Christ from the condemnation
by Pilot to the crucihxion on Mount
Calvary. The two celebrated paintings
by Munckacsy, "Christ before Pilate"
and ''Christ on Calvary" have been ex-
hibitedina Il theatre just now demolished.
One OF the big, round structures for
merly devoted to u realistic war
picture now contains similarly
constructed view of "Jerusnlen
and the Crucifxion." While most
OF these shows have drawn upon
religious people for their profits, which
have been generally large, the question
OF their propriety has been raised. The
same objections have been made to them
that prevented Salmi Morse's Passion
play, and Comstock has several times
been on the point Of interfering. He is
now brought TO determination to net
by the fact that what is called "The
Nineteenth Century Miracle" is to be put
on exhibition. George c. Brotherton is

OF late years has been interested in thea
trical ventures He was manager OF n

ing, which was burned in this city. and
II is represented that the only exhibit
which escaped destruction on that occa-
sion was n group OF life-sixed wax works
representing Christ OH the cross, with
his followers and the Gnemy's soldiers
in the foreground. The preservation
OF this work is what he dcn0minates
Il miracle, and now he is going to place
the tableau in view OF the city, making
much OF It's escape from fire. Brother
ton is rich man himself and has plenty
Of financial backing. Heis popular with
his kind OF men, too, and is described
by them as "good square fellow On
the other hand, the managers OF Com
stocks society regard it as u sacrilegiOus
outrage that gambler should be per-
mitted to make business Of exhibiting
Il model OF the Crucifxion, and especial
ly OF advertising it by means Of n pre-
tended miracle. They can find no law
In the State, however, iorbidding this
enterprise on Brotherton's part. BIT
they count on n refusal by Mayor Hewitt
to license the exhibition, and without II
license the show can not be opened.
Mayor Hewitt declined to-day TO say
what his action will be, but, AZ he is Il
pious man, Comstock counts confidently
upon him to prevent Brotherton from
exhibiting his Nineteenth Century
Miracle"
