A NEW COUNTERFEIT.


Louis Davis Arrested in Newark for
Passing 1t Here.
Secret Service Agent III. NJ. Burnett
came over to Jersey City, from Newark.
Monday night and had warrant issued
by United States Commissioner Isaac
Romaine Tor the arrest of Louis Davis for
passing counterfeit money on November
26 in payment for goods purchased by
Davis. Emil Heinold. of Jersey City,
dealer in leather findings, received from
Davis a $40 bill. Heinold's son, from
whom Davis made the purchase. sus-
pected the genuineness of the note and
punched hole in it to find whether the
paDer lacked silk threads. The test sat
isfied him that the note was not good. II
was rendered to q bank and rejected.
Thereupon Commissioner Romaine
was notified and he sent word to Mr..
Burnett. Davis was arrested yesterday
and will have hearing before the com,
missioner on Monday next.
MIR Burnett has the note in his Office in
the post Office building. 1t Is a second
issue of the counterfeit on the Germania
National Bank of New Orleans The
first issue was made last spring, and
upon its detection the plates were altered,
which rendered the notes more decep-
tive The new issue rs far as known
bears the Treasury number S61, 573 and
the bank number A. The numbers, how
ever, are easily changed. The quality of
the work on the vignettes is not as good
as on the genuine, especially on the
yignette on the left end of the note Here
the faces are bad and the shape OF the
projecting stone on whica the boy is
sitting is very imperfect. The lathe work
counters are also poor and the paper of the
counterfeit lacks silk threads.

BONDSMEN VERY SCARCE.
Counsel for the Election Sccundrels
Faking Excuses for Leaving
Them in Jail.

The four convicted ballot box suffers,
Whelan. Green. Miller and Kennedy,
will be sentenced Friday. The reason al
legged for this delay is that counsel cannot
prepare the papers In the writ of error
before then and that there is no reason
for haste in passing sentence.
The convicted men cannot be admitted
to bail under a writ Of error until they
are sentenced. and it is believed that the
writ has not been fled because the men
cannot find bondsmen.
BY Friday they may be prepared to
give the required security for their ap-
pearance when the Supreme Court is
through with them.
