COUNTERFEIT GOLD.
An Almost Perfect Imitation Of
the Five-DoIlar Coin.

the FiVe-DoIIar Coin.
The most dangerous counterfeit ever
known in the history of the coinage of
this government has been found by the
authorities of the mint in this citv, says
the Philadelphia Record. 1t is S. gold
piece designed and executed with such
remarkable skill that few of the experts
can distinguish the spurious coins from
the genuine. In general appearance,
color, weight, and design the counter
felt is perfect. 1t is all exact fac-simile
of the true coin except i'll size. 1t is
slightly larger in diameter, but the dis
crepancy is so small that only careful
measurement with special instrument
in the hands ola skllIful man will reveal
the difference, and even an assay has
been found necessary to establish
definitely its character. Only a few
have been discovered in the mint. but
even conjecture can not approximate
the number that are floating through
the banks and the SubtreaSuries.
The principal fact which makes them
most difficult of detection is that they
are made of gold, but the metali of
lower grade than the government stand
ard. which is 90e fine. The spurious
pieces are about fifty points less. Assays
made at the mint have shown that they
have all intrinsic value of $40, leaving
the counterfeiter profit of 60 cents OH
each piece for his labor. The same
skill which characteriZes the design and
execution Of the coin is observed in the
reduction of the standard. The alloy is
So sklllfully made up that the weight is
made to correspond with exact precise
hess to the genuine coin.
The authorities have only theory as
to how the false coins are made, but
they are satisfied of the correctness of
their conclusions. The counterfeiter
appears to possess some process by
which he can temper a genuine coin to
a degree of great hardness. He under
stands also how steel can be refined and
sofiened so that it can be made to take
an indented impression like piece
of lead. Having adapted his steel,
he places it upon hardened coin,
which he then subjects to quick. heavy
pressure. The metal receiving the i'm
preston is next hardened, and when
this process is fipIshed the counterfeiter
has an almost perfect die with which to
stamp bis pieces. 1t differs from the
genuine die only in that the pressure
required for the impression expands the
com, making the die slightly larger in
diameter. This circumstance furnishes
the explanation for the difference exist
ing between the sizes of the genuine
and false coins.

A BOLD ROBBERY AT MT.
AIRY.
A Lady Choked and her Hus-
band'sSafe Robbed.

Last Friday night, about
O'Clock, two young men enter
led the room Of Mrs. Samuel Fl
Taylor, Of MT. Airy, and de
manded the keys Of her hus
bands safe. Mrs. Taylor re
fused to give them up, wher
one of the ruffians, by thenamt
Iof Stone seized her by the
throat, covered her mouth and
!choked her unmercifully, while
1.-THE other, Harry G.. Taylor, a
nephew, took from per pocket a
private purse containing some
S5 or $40 in money, and the
keys to her husbands safe
'rihed of at least So, 2,l50, and q
Smith a Wesson, 30-calibre, re-
I'volyer.
By the time this was done,
Mrs. Taylor, who was attempt
ing to free herself foom the
clutches of the fiend, was badly
|choked and bruised, and left al
most in a dying condition.
The husband returned in a
few minutes after the scoundrels
had left, and after administer
'iagto his wife, gave the alarm,
and whole town turned out and
kept up the search all night
hoping toarrest the parties, who
are well known and were iden-
titled by Mrs. Taylor.
DIR. Taylor, the son Of the
gentleman robbed; was in the
city Friday and said when he
left home at five in the morning,
his mother was very i'll, and he
has great fears that she may
die from the rough treatment
received.
He describes Harry Taylor as
about IL years old, 5 feet, 6
inches high, with dark hair,
smooth, broad face and blue
eyes. Stone is about 30 or 35
years old, 5 feet 8 inches high,
small, brown moustache, small
round face, inclined to be stoop-
shouldered.
Mr.. Taylor offers a reward of
800 for each, whether taken
together or singly.
From the high standing of
Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor there win
no stone be left unturned by the
entire community to bring these
miscreants to justice. Hun

tionalism shall be buried, both
north and south will be able TO
| drop partisanry and elect con-

and not on sectional animosity.
The social features of the al.
lance were commented upon at
some length. l'a5 NJ
Before reading the "funda-
mental principles the speaker
said that "while we are not in
politics we are apolitical party
in a certain sense, but not a
partisan party" He then read
the demands made .on the poli-
tical parties by the alliance.
The leading demands are the
abolition of national banks; the
free and unlimited coinage of
silver (the speaker said free
coinage was distinctively an
alliance measure); the regula.
ton and reduction of tariff; the
election of United States sen.
ators directly by the people.
On the sub-treasury question
the speaker was brief, but de-
clared himself and the alliance
as being in favor Of the plan.
He explained what it is expect
ed will be the operations Of the
scheme.
Then going to the financial
question, he discussed at length
the banking systems, the trusts,
the power of money, &c., and
the poverty of the farmers as q
class, the remedy for which is
organized effort-such effort as
the alliance has been and is still
putting forwa ID.
Mr.. Snayeley paid his respects
to the millionaires, the railroad
kings, the trusts, &C., and closed
with an earnest appeal to the
formers to stand together, de-
mand their rights and TO secure
them.

Horrible Affair.

On Saturday last Buck Neal,
a farmer living within five miles
of Danbury, loaded his tobacco
wagon with tobacco and drove
up to ex-Sheriff Dalton's, SELL
ing the load to Dalton and re-
ceiving therefor four hundred
dollars. Two hours after this
a negro man came to Dalton's
store, made some purchases and
handed out certain bills of
money in payment.
These bills were every one
identified Immediately by Mr..
Dalton as the same that he had
paid to Neal for his tobacco.
Mr.. Dalton thereupon arrested
the uegro and searching him,
finding in his possession 5000 in
bills all Of which he identified
In common with the others. Mr..
Dalton then got on his horse
and rode toward Meals house,
and within two miles of that
point found the dead body Of
Neal, murdered. +
II is stated that Neafs body
was not cold while the negro
was spending his money at the
store. ia -5.#.
From the fact that only half
the $4O0 was found on the per.
son Of the negro, it is believed
that there were two persons en-.
gagged in the horrible affair,
No comment ON the case is ne
cessary.

FARM ANIMALS VISIBLE.
The Number Of Mich Cows,
Cattle. Hogs and sheep That
Run On Pasture and

s"tSas
The estimates of numbers and
values of farm animals, made
at the end of each year and re-
turnable in January to the De-
partment of Agriculture, have
been consolidated. There ap-
pears to have been little change
in numbers, except on the Pa
cific coast and in certain por-
tions of the Rocky mountain
area, where the winter of i8S9-90
was unusually severe. Losses
were especially heavy on the
Pacific slope. The number of
mich cows is l6, 6,0l9, ,591, an in
crease of 66, 6,70S from last year.
Other cattle aggregate s6,s75,.
GAS, including those on ranches.
The estimated number Of sheep
is 43, ,43l, 1876. Gi
A tendency 10, increase i'm
number is seen most of the
States, though the heavy losses
from the severe winter Of last
year on the Pacific slope have
decreased the aggregate. The
aggregate of numbers of swine
is 5O,625, ,106, showing q decrease
Of nearly two per cent. The
average value is $4,l5, a decrease
of fifty-seven cents per head.

Monroe Enquirer Register:
Considerable opposition to the
proposed six per cent interest
law is being manifested, and if
the measure is passed at all it
will be after a hand fight. Many
of the thinking, conservative
men, in and out of the Alliance.
think it would work injury to
the very class it is intended TO
benefit.
Winston Sentinel: Mr.. In
gals is much more impressed
with the importance Of the late
Republican Waterloo than with
his own overthrow in Kansas.
That was only q part of the gem
eral disaster that has been
brought upon the most power
full political organization known
to American history through the
STANCE combination of political
pigheadedness that has animat-
ed its leaders.
n. G. Intelligencer: The Gen
eral Assembly has no power TO
direct what q person shall do
with his money. 1t may pro-
vide that il he loans it out in
this State he shall only charge
6 per cent. but it cannot compel
him to loan it in this State, and
any sensible man knows that
when another has money he is
going 10 loan il where he can
get the most remunerative re-
turns, and il follows, as a nat
ural consequence, that q low
interest law means less money
in the State, and greater diff
culties in the way of the bor-
rover getting what he wants.

lions of dollars are lying idle,
