SPURIOUS COIN.
A Man With $685. of Counter
felt Money Caught.
HE HAD A RECIPE TO MAKE 1T.
The Chief Ingredient Was Babbitt Metal
James ID. Holloman of North Caro-
lima is the Man in Custody.
How He Was Found Out


PURCELL, l. T., Nov S.-Through the
vigilance of Tom Smith, deputy United
States marshal, and George F. Gales,
United States commissioner, one James ID.
Holloman, who halls from North Carolina,
was arrested for passing counterfeit silver
and gold coin late yesterday evening. Hol-
loman passed counterfeit silver dollar on
hot-temale vender and got his change all
right, but soon after the dollar was found to
be spurious. Judge Gates, aided by the
female boy and Tom Smith. repaired to the
Santa Fe depot, and the boy pointed out a
sleeping man as the one he got the dollar
from
When the arrest and search were made
he was found loaded down with Sl335 in the
base stuff.
Holloman claims the money belonged to
another party, and were it not for the fact
that he had on his own person some of this
wealth, his story would have some SEM
blance of truth. Hollomans trunk at the
baggage room also contained more of the
counterfeit coin. Among the traps of the
party arrested was found recipe for max
ing the money. The bulk of this is made of
Babbitt metal and then plated with gold.
Judge Gates held the man to bail, in default
of which he was carried to Paris, Texas. last
night. This was a quick piece OF work,
and shows that our officers are on the look
out for all such criminals

IN WHAT MANNER
They will state the salaries paid the
officers of the roads, and the wages of en-
ployes. The information thus obtained
shall be communicated by the commission
to the Encouragement and also a copy of
it shall be filed with the comptroller for
public use, and the commission shall print
it in its annual reports. When these blanks
shall have been filed out, the whole condi-
ton of the roads of Texas will be accesSi-
bic TO the public. The commission will
take pains through its expert agents TO
verify the reports made by the railway
companies.
The commission has issued thirty-six cir
cuIars making rulings, amending, modify
ing or explaining its commodity tariffs. 1t
is much too early as vet TO inquire the net
result OF the commissions work. The sew
eral tariffs, all affecting some reduction in
rates, that have been promulgated, have
been put into operation by all the roads,
and are working well as far is known
Shippers are well satisfied. excepting an
occasional fellow who enjoyed special rates,
and was getting rich at the expense of his
competitors. 1t hurts such men to be
placed upon plane of equality with others.
The commission has no serious cause of
complaint to make against the roads. nor
the manner in which they have borne them
selves towards IL. Irregularities and occa-
siona) excuses, the outgrowth Of meddie-
some otficiousnesS on the part of local agents,
are reported, but always corrected when the
commission reports them TO the general
freight agents. The cotton tariff has eff
fected saving TO the farmers of Texas of
a million dollars and has not bankrupted
any railroad nor put it in the hands of re-
ceiver. Business has gone along smoothly
enough, and, so far as the commission
knows, with general satisfaction. The
roads have of course complained, but that
was perfectly natural. How else could they
get the most favorable terms from the COM
missioul But they are working under the
new rates, and with what result TO them
selves and the public, the future will dis
close

MORE LAWMAKERS.
They are at Work IN Bell County, and 1t
Rains in Tarrant at the
Same Time.
Special to the Gazette.

TEMPLE, BELL COUNTY, TEX, Nov. S.
On last Tuesday four gentlemen. headed by
DR.. Murphy, president of the Kansas arti-
fetal rain company, arrived in Temple.
They came to experiment with their new
secret process for producing rain.
They soon procured house in South
Temple that suited them, and TO it they had
the cases containing their implements and
material at once removed. Their process is
kept entirely secret, and there is nothing to
indicate that the rain-maaers are at work
except suggestive blaZes of purple and blue
which issue at night from hole in the roof
of the house. But they work all the time.
At first, they announced that the atmos-
pheric condition was unfavorable, and that
it might BE some days before rain could be
produced. On Thursday afternoon the
Doctor said everything was going smoothly,
and that rain would almost certainly
come by IL O'Clock Friday night. Up to 10
o'clock Friday night not a cloud was WISH
BILE, and the rain-makers' followers began
to doubt. But at IL o'clock it was cloudy
and fifteen minutes later rain began 10 fall
and continued half an hour. Saturday
morning the sky was clear, but the rain
makers were encouraged and said more
would fall Saturday night. At O'Clock
last night clouds began to gather, at 2
O'Clock it was raining, and rain in warm
April-like showers has been falling all day.

of opinion this afternoon of twenty-four
persons to whom the subject was mentioned
as follows: Thirteen gave credit to the
rain-lnakers, ten had no opinions on the sub
ject, but said it was a remarkable coincl-
dence. One, Hardshen Baptist from Ar
kansas, said nobody but God could make
rain, and said he had no faith in it. The
rain-makers are apparently scientific men,
say they mean business, that though this is
their first experiment in Texas they will
visit several other places in the state.

New YORK, Nov. S.-The Brooklyn navy
yard presented an appearance of activity
witnessed for the first time since the excit-
ing times of the civil war to-day. The hum
and din of the busy workmeu on
the war vessels Miantonomah andi
Atlantic disturbed the stiffness
as a body 100 blue-jackets marched
across the yard to divine service. Work
men have been busiiy engaged day and
night for the past week in preparing the
two vessels for speedy service at sea To-
day the work of preparation was continued,
it being the first Sunday since the late war
that such q thing has occurred. There
were eighty men at work on
the two vessels and all expe-
dition will be used until they
are ready for service at sea. The unusual
hustle ana activity ut the navy yard is said
to be due to the strained relations between
this country and Chill. 1t has caused tks
government much anxiety to get its w3r
vessels ready for any possible contingency.

YESTERDAY evening young fellow of

bank and presented check for $245, with
the name OF T. M. Curry signed to it.
Surprising the check to be genuine the
cashier paid it, as Mr.. Curry had money
there to his edit. But afterwards doubt
ing the signature, the cashier went out
and found his man in a dry goods store
laying in winters supply of clothing with
the cash he had just drawn from the bank.
He at once stopped the purchase and caused
the entire amount to be paid back to the
bank and turned the young man over to
Sheriff Wall who held him until Mr..
Curry's arrival When Mr.. Curry arrived
several hours later, he said that he never
gave such a check and that it was forged
