EXPERT COUNTERFEITING.
One Man Who Made and " Passed" Owe

One Man Who Made and Passed" Over
Million Dollars.
Perhaps the most surprising curiosities in
the Treasury scrap-book are proofs of Ger
tain plates which appear to have had their
surfaces scratched and battered to the ut
most possible extent, says a correspondent
of the ST. Louis Globe Democrat. The
plates were those of the famous 7-30 bonds,
executed by Charles II. Smith and printed
by Charles Brockway, which we're the occa-
sion of a great lawsuit against the Govern
ment. Such works Of art were they that no
question of their geuuineness was raised un-
til Jay Cooke and Co. forwarded SS4, 900
worth of them to the Treasury here for re-
demptiOn. Although Mr.. Casiear declared
them counterfeiis, it was claimed that they
must have been printed from the original
plates made by the Treasury, and on the
strength of that assumption suit was brught
By jay Cooke & Co. against the Govern
ment. The cause was lost by the plaintiffs,
however.
Smith was undoubtedly the most remark
able forger that ever lived. For twenty
years, while leading life Of the utmost aD-
parent respectabllity, he produced counter

NOW CARING FOR THE LIVING.

Contributions for the Relief Of the Families
of the Park Place Victims
Mayor Grant has appointed q relief COM
mittee and money for the families Of the VIC
Tins Of the Park place disaster has commenced
coming in. One thousand dollars has been re-
ceived from Mrs. Grain owner of the building that
collapsed. She sends a letter saying she wishes
she could give more for the families of the
dead. The coroner will begin an inquest Mon
day. The mayor yesterday afternoon received
a letter from the widow of Thomas Williams Of
1876 varick street. one of the victims of the dis
aster, in which she says she is too poor to pay
the expenses of her husbands funeral The
mayor wrote to tho commissioners Of charities
and corrections directing them to provide u
coffin hearse and carriage and to bury the
body in Calvary cemetery. The announcement
that the search was concluded and the last
body had been taken from the ruins had its
effect on the crowd, which with morbid Curl
osity had chung to the rope that formed the
fire line. Most OF the people went away and
the overwOrked police breathed signs of relief.
The bureau Of membranes kept up its work
Of removing the debris from the street until
pm. yesterday, when all worked stopped:
There still remained about the spot several
desOlate women, whose dead had not been
found and who refused to believe that there
had been a cessation of the work of the search
crs. Indeed it was a wonder to all that there
was SO large number of missing who could
not be accounted for. The theory was ad-
| vsnced that owing to the ferceness of the
flames which ragged several hours some Of the
bodies were entirely consumed.
FOrty-six of the sixty-one bodies found have
been identified Fifteen bodies are still at the
mOrgue awaiting claimants. Twenty-Five per-
sons are reported missing, and deducting the
fifteen unknown bodies leaves ten yet to be ac-
counted for.

GRABBED THE WRONG LEG.
A Gay Youth From Troy Comes to Grief II
the Surf at Ocean Grove.

A Gay Youth From Troy Comes to Grief in
the Surf at Ocean Grove.
An Ocean Grove special says: VIM. A. Hollis
ter Of Troy is attending the services of the
Camp Meeting Association with several
scratches on his face. Mr.. HOLSTER took his
first ocean bath last week. He was with party
of friends. and thought the bathing far sur
passed plunge in the waters of the Hudson Mt
his native place.
He dived and SWAN, stood on his head and
cut up other antics in the water. Suddenly the
idea struck him that he could create a sensa-
ton by playing shark with one Of his friends.
When the next big roller came in Mr.. HOLSTER
took header through it and seized what he
thought was the leg of one of his friends. When
up to enjoy his sensation. He did not enjoy it
as much as his friends did.
He had miscalculated the force Of the surf
when he made his header. and, instead OF
grasping the leg OF one OF his chums he had
seized the shapely limb of a pretty young
woman. AS he came to the top Of the water
the young woman was ready to meet MIN. Mr..
HOLSTERS smile turned to u look of horror, and
he began uttering profuse apologies.
The pretty young woman was muscular and
was frantic with Indignation. She paid no at
tention to Mr.. HOLSTERS apologies, but, dash
ing at him. seized him by the hair and began
scratching his face. The next breaker upset
Mr. HOLSTER and his charming assalant and
the latter was compelled to release her hold.
The man from Troy made a break tor the
beach, where he was met by some of his friends.
DIR. Nichols fixed up the cuts ON his face. he
has not been in the surf since.

THEY WILL NOT OBEY.
Georgia Legislators Decline to Indorse the
Ocala Platform.

Georgia Legislators Decline to Indorse the
Ocala Platform.
A dispatch from Atlanta to the New York
Times today says: The Georgia legislature
will not indorse the Ocala platform. This is
have been held by the alliance members of the
legislature. When the state alliance was in
session last week it adopted the Ocala platform
and then passed a resolution demanding that
the state legislature, now in session, should do
likewise. This put many of the legislators in
quandary. They were willing to talk wildly
about finance on the stump. but when it came
to putting them into the shape OF legislative
manifesto they hesitated.
The alliance caucus was at once called
and the matter taken up. 1t developed that
there were two nearly equally balanced parties
in the body. One was ready for the third
party and committed to the Ocala idea and the
other was afraid to break from the democratic
party.
The proposal to make the Ocala platform the
expression Of the legislature was antagoniZed
by those who held that the democratic party
was able to rectify all wrongs. This resulted in
the formulation of preamble and resolution
embodying the democratic idea, which were
proposed as a substitute for the Ocala plat
form and adopted by a narrow vote.
The preamble says the national banks should
be abolished, the 10 per cent tax on state banks
repealed and the per capita circulation in
creased. The free and unlimited coinage of
silver, it declares, would heal all the financial
ills of the country. 1t was therefore resolved
that the legislature should memorialize Con-
gress to this effect, and that the Georgia dele
CATION should be thus instructed.
Now the fight will be transferred to the legis-
lature directly. The ultra alliance members
say they will be satisfied with nothing short of
the Ocala platform-subtreasury scheme and
all.
The treatment Of Gov. Northen and Senator
Gordon by the state alliance last week has
driven a score of members off from close COM
munion with the alliance and they will help in
the fight to relegate Ocala to the rear.
