A STARTLING FIND. .
CoNvIcTS IN THE STATE PRISON
MAKE COUNTERFEIT MONEY.
Some Sensational Revelations Made by
Warden Pearcy--Knives, Razors and
Ropes Found in the Cells-A Contem-
plated Escape.

Special Dispatch to The Appeal
NASHVILLE Tenn, Dec. 1.-Just after
the convcts were bolted in at the pcniten-
tiary last night Warden Pearcy had sep
arate search made of the cells in wing No.
2, and their occupants, which developed
rather startling results. In the various
cells and sometimes on the persons OF tho
convicts and under the beds there were
found in all between fifty and sixty knives,
fifteen or twenty razors, pistol, and two or
three ropes. In one cell were also found
lamp and ladle and white metal used for
making counterfeit money. No dies were
found. This morning few counterfeit
| dimes were found on convict who sells
| little articles in the prison. lie claimed
that he received them as payment for arti-
Giles sold. A counterfeit half dollar was
found ON another convict a day or two
since, and convicts have been frequently
caught with counterfeit coins in their pos
session.
A reporter saw one OF the counterfeit
dimes yesterday. 1t is in appearance
fairly good imitation, but does not feel
right TO the touch. 1t is made OF what is
known as babbitt metal. Joe Clark is the
convict upon whom some counterfeit money
has been found, but he claims TO have re-
ceived it from other convicts in pay for
purchases. Some six or seven convicts
are suspected Of making the money.
The discovery OF the weapons and the
ropes indicate that another attempt at
escape may have been contemplated. A
convict named Muligan, who was released
from the prison about two or three months
since, was suspected OF making counterfeit
money, and some dies were found in his
cell after he left. A number Of knives
were found in Wing No. 3, which was
searched this morning. This is a wing de-
voted to white prisoners, and is the ono
from which the attempt to escape was re-
Gently made Wing No. is devoted partly
TO white and partly to colored convicts.

The APpEAL is very much gratllied TO
learn, as il does on what it deems to be
good authority, that the Citizens Commit
tee charged with the duty Of solving the
question Of street paving is largely in favor
OF the plan Of an nd valorem assessment on
abutting property. This would induce
something like emulation among tho citi.
zens residing on or holding property on
different streets, would equalize the
burden Of taxation and save the tax
payers generally from any longer being
compelled TO pay for the pavement Of other
than the streets on which they live or own
property II is the most feasible plan that
could be adopted by Memphis just now,
and has the experience Of ST. Louis and
many other cities in its favor 1t is fair,
just and equitable plan, and we make bold
TO say will be approved by the people gen.
orally who are anxious for well paved
strpcts
