counterfeiters who have been making
dcllars and half dollars, and OF n Kind
that was almost impossible to detect, and
Of which large quantities have been cir
culated in Erie, Warren, Oil City and
jamestown; some OF the stuff also
reached Buffalo. Seven Of the gang are
under arrest. The authorities have
thought it best to keep them separate,
and therefore put them in different jails.
esquire" Richardson, one of the men
who, it is alleged, attended to the manu-
facture OF the money, was brought to
Buffalo last evening and taken to the
Erie county jail. Richardson is fully 90
years old. 1t is thought he will squeal

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2l.-It is already
clear that the inauguration is to surpass
all former ones in elaborate preparation
and magnitude. Already notifications
from organizations OF their purpose to
attend have begun to arrive. The local
committees are nearly all complete, and
several OF them have begun active oper-
tions. The rooms OF the committees
were furnished to-day, and they will be
open for business tomorrow. Arrange

already extended so far as to begin the
engagement OF available quarters for
visiting organizations in Baltimore.
The Secretary of-the Interior has not
yet decided whether or not he will allow
the use OF the rotunda OF the Pension
Office for the inauguration ball. The
chances are that it will be obtained,
either by his permission or under the
order OF Congress. The need of a great
hall for such public ceremonies OF the
Government has never been SO keenly
felt rs now. Beyondquestion the attend

of any previous occasion. But OF all

water, on the West Virginia Central
railroad. The stream is tribulent one,
the current being very swift at this
point. The trestle work has been com.
pleted, and plank laid upon it for the
use OF the workmen in crossing from side
to side during the progress OF their
labors. On the day above named about
s o'clock Patrick Waters and his bride,
who had been married only the day
previous at st. George, were inspecting
the work, and undertook to cross the
trestle together on the plank. When
about half way across, Mrs. Waters be.
came dizzy, and losing her balance
fell into the water below. Her husband,
who had witnessed her fall, Immediately
jumped after her Both the unfortun-
ates we're quickly caught in the swift
current and swept rapidly down the
stream. About one hundred feet down
is ford, and one OF the bridgemen at
that point attempted to rescue them.
He was likewise caught by the current
and swept away, but was rescued short
distance down. Meanwhile, Waters and
his bride were carried on down the
stream clasped in each others embrace,
the tops Of their heads only visible, and
were soon out OF sight. They were
finally picked up by party in boat at
Silen's ferry, about a half mile below.
Waters was dead and his bride uncon-
scious. They were taken to shore,
where the poor wife was resuscitated,
only to give way to tit OF uncontrolla-
BILE grief when she learned OF the fate
Of her husband who had died in the
effort to save her.

CHICAGO, Now misunderstanding
Editor Christensen, OF the Arbeiter lei
h,ng, is counted among his socialistic
friends rs too mild.manuered in his ad-
yocacy of Anarchism, he this week in
the columns of bis paper throws the red
flag to the breeze in old time style. The
English press Of Chicago is attacked for
the manner in which it oppresses the
poor and upholds the wealthy, and
capital in general is roundly assailed,
The paper says Anarchism in Chicago is
far from eing dead, and that in few
weeks the organization of its followers
will be more complete than it has ever
been before. Meetings are being held
nightly all over the city for the purpose
OF recognizing the forces, and these
gatherings are addressed by well.known
agitators. The Arbeiter Zeitung also viii.

selor OF the Knights OF Labor. 1t ap.

Powderly, 1t says, is to the wofkingman
what the Pope Is TO the Catholic Church,

INDIANAPoLis, Nov. 2l.-The Presi-
dent-elect had large number OF callers
to-day, among them hundred or more
delegates, attending the annual.meeting
of the Grand Lodge l. o.o.F. While
not receiving callers, General Harrison
was busily engaged upon his corre-
spondence. The gas filters to-day began
to pipe the Generals residence for nat
ural gas. In the way OF political gossip,
the Ncrs this evening says: ut is con-
tident belief Of the intimate friends OF
Chairman Huston, OF the Republican
State Committee, that he will be Indi-
ana's representative in the Cabinet, and
they offer many reasons for their hope.
The most important, Of course, is the
service he has rendered the President
elect, 1t is claimed for him that he did
more than any other person to secure
Harrison's nomination, and that no man
in Indiana did so much to carry the
State for the Republicans at the recent
election. And besides, it is asserted that
General Harrison has indicated warmer
friendship for him than for any Of the
other prominent Republicans in the
State. and that he has good reasons for
expecting an exalted position under the
administration.
The announcement that Captain Will
liam NJ. Meredith, Of Chicago, is likely
TO be the new Public Printer will be no
surprise to those who know him. He
was captain Of the color company in
General Harrison's regiment, and the
friendship between them, which began
in the days when they were army COM
rades, has continued since. He has had
charge OF large printing establishment
for twenty-five years or more. He is
popular among the union printers and
his strongest support will come from
them, although he has good political
backing, not only from Illinois, but also
from Indiana.
