at the Barracks.

At II O'Clock last night two sailors be-
longing to the British steamship Iolani,
lying at the Central cotton press, were
fighting, when the Waterman, Alonzo
Merchant, ordered them to stop. One of
them assaulted, cursed and abused Mer-
chant, and he requested Officer Lysaught, of
the Ocean Steamship Company police, to
arrest them, which the officer did. One of
them, John Armstrong, claimed that Mer-
chant had fired his pistol at him and the
ball struck him on the left side of the head.
He had a wound there, but whether it was
caused by bullet or that he was struck by
some blunt instrument was a matter of
doubt, as he did not seem to mind the
wound much. Armstrong and his antago-
mist, James Sullivan, were both locked up
to appear this morning.

BAD MONEY CIRCULATING.
Counterfeit Currency and Spurious
Coin That Catches the People.

Counterfeit Currency and Spurious
Coin That Catches the People.
at is most too early In the season for
counterfeit money to circulate very much
here yet, said Teller Abrahams Of the Ma
tional Bank of Savannah, in talk with g
MORNING NEWS reporter.
SIS there any counter felt currency in cir.
culation now!" he was asked.
There is counterfeit IS silver Ger.
tifcate circulating which is calculated 10
deceive almost anyone, as it differs very
slightly from the genuine.
The counterfeit BILL" Mr.. Abrahams
| says, lis a very little shorter than the
genuine bill, and the key in the red signet
Ii not perfect, but this can hardly be de-
tected except by comparison. Fortunately
but few OF these dangerous bills have found
their way hsre.n
A counterfeit 90 silver certificate is in
circulation, it having been issued here
about the time the circus was in the city.
ms counterfeit is a very rank one,
and the printing is 30 blurred that
1t ought to be rejected as soon as
it Is received, but few of the bills have
been passed on srallkeepers in the market,
aud in the hurry, rush and darkness of
Saturday night travel few Of the bills
have been accepted by street car conduct
ors. So far the circulators have eluded
arrest.
There are quite a number of spuriou US
silver dollars and fractional coins in circu-
latlon, but they are very poor limitations
and do not pass readily. There is, however
a counterfeit silver dollar which can be de-
tectsd only by its weight AS it has the general
appearance and the clear, metallic ring of
the genuine dollar. Few of these dangerous
coins are in circulation here, but it is said
that they are quite plentiful in the west.
Some OF these coins accepted by the banks
here, before they had detected them, were
sent on to Washington, with other remit
tances, and were sent back badly mutilated,
SO that they could not again be put in cir
culation. When counterfeit bill gets into
the governments hands it is stamped with
indelible ink counterfeit" and the silver
dollar is cut nearly in two by a sharp-edge
tool driven by machinery. Most banks,
when counterfeit bill is presented for
change or deposit, stamp the counterfeit
bill first, and thus prevent its after-circula-
ton.
There are some counterfeit coins as low
as 10 cents, and at first glance it does not
look as if it would pay to make them, but a
man will hardly ever stop to inquire where
he has been imposed on with counterfeit
of such small denomination, and while he
may have no intention to pass counterfeit
money the first thing he knows the piece is
gone, and he cannot remember who got it.
and SO the little counterfeit keeps going
until 1T becomes so brassy and dead looking
in appearance, that it requires a new coat
ing of mercury, and it is up and off again
as spry as ever.
The best season for counterfeit money in
this section is during the flow of winter
travel southwark, when money is plentiful
and trade good. Then the better class and
even the worst class of counterfeit our
rency and coin is circulated with more or
less success
