Another Uniontown Manufacturing Concern
Fails to Pay Its Men.
ESPECIAL TnLEcRAM TO THE DrsPArcH.I
UNIoNTowN. March 2S.-The Columbia
Iron and Steel Mill, following the unfor-
tunate example Of the Pennsylvanis con-
struction shops, failed to pay their men to-
day, as was promised two weeks ago.
Checks for but two of the five weeks due
were given to the men to-day.
The officials of the company explained to
the men that they would be able to pay the
balance in about week, and wanted them
to continue at work. The First National
Bank cashed few of the checks, but Gre
ated great deal of excitement by stopping
and refusing to pay any more on the checks
presented. The checks were then hawked
about town by the holders, and offered at
liberal discounts. Most of them were cashed
at 10 per cent discount.
The workmen met in Commercial Hall
this afternoon, and decided by ballot to
continue until the fourth story of the big
Masonic Temple at Chicago is completed
and loaded at this end. They are then
promised their money.

A DANGEROUS PLATE.
Sensation in the Treasury Over a
Counterfeit Discovery.
A HASTY CONSULTATION HELD
To Formulate Plan for Recalling the
Counterfeited Series.
GOVERNMENT PAPER FINELY INITIATED

WASHINGTON, March 2s.--A sensation
has been caused at the Treasury Depart.
ment by the discovery Of counterfeit 81
silver eertifcats, 80 nearly perfect In all its
parts as to be almost impossible of detec-
tion. Heretofore all counterfeits of our
paper currency have been readily detected
by the failure to initiate the distinctive
character Of the paper on which Government
notes are printed, which is SO arranged that
each part of it, forming a complete note,
contains small silk thread running through
it lengthwise.
This paper is for the first time almost per-
fectly initiated in the counterfeit just dis
covered. So far as is now known 1t has
been used only in counterfeiting the two dol
lar silver certificate OF the series of 1886. This
note was designed under the supervision of
Treasurer Jordan, and contains on Its face a
vignette of General Hancock. 1t is esti-
mated that there are now nearly $40. 900, 600
of these notes in circulation, and the
problem before the Treasury Department is
how to get them back into the Treasury and
to substitute a new series without serious
embarrassment before any considerable
quantity of the counterfeit notes get into
circulation.
: This was the subject of a secret confer
ence at the Treasury Department this after
noon between Secretary Foster and the lead
ing officials of the Bureau OF Engraving and
Printing. 1t was practically decided to
suspend the printing of the So silver certi6-
cate, and to institute new series of the
same denomination. These will contain
vignette of Secretary Window, and will be
issued as soon as the necessary plates can
be engraved. 1t will take about two months
to prepare the plates, and in the meantime
the Government will exert its utmost en-
deavors to secure and destroy the plates and
the other paraphernalia used in the manu-
facture of the counterfeit.
Director Leech, of the Mint, said to-day
that after July it was probable no more
silver dollars would be coined, but silver
certificates printed instead. Congress had
given the Secretary Of the Treasury power
to recoin about 81, 500, 900 of the subsidiary
coin now in the Treasury, and that, too,
would probably be done as soon as possible
after the beginning of the next fiscal year.
This will in effect put just so much more
money in circulation. There are also about
2,609, 900 silver dollars 10 the Treasury,
against which silver certificates can be
issued.

SUGAR WILL BE CHEAPER.

A Reduction of Two Cents a Pound Owing
to the Mckinley Bill.
ESPECIAL TELEeRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.i
NEW YORK, March 28.-After the end Of
the present month the sugar used by refners
will be imported free of duty, and as re-
suit there should be a saving of cents per
pound on all refined sugars consumed here.
Under the provisions Of the Mckinley bill
the reiners were allowed to take the raw
sugar, which has been placed in bond by the
importers to be held there until the day ar
rived when it could be taken out without
paying duty, and refine it in bond.
This provision was made so that there
would be no sugar famine in the early part
of April. The refneries of the Sugar Trust
have been running their full capacity, and
the rush of orders to be filled has caused
great confusion.

A Discovery That Goes Far to Solve the

NEW YORK, March 2S.-It was clearly
established to-day that the handkerchief
used as gag and found crammed down the
throat of Carl Emanuel Ruttinger, whose
body was found on the mud fats at Totem
vile, S. l.. belonged to William Wright,
who was Ruttinger's companion. Attorney
Taylor went to Tottenville yester-
day with two handkerchiefs which had
been sent by Wright's relatives to this
country from London. He went to the
police station and got Sergeant Thomas
Drummond to let him examine the handker-
chief marked M. W., which was found
crammed down the throat of Ruttinger.
The lawyer made careful comparison of
the handkerchiefs sent from London and the
one in possession of Sergeant Drummoud
and the three were identical in every detail.

INDIANA IN ARREARS.

The State Must Pay S47,0Oo in War Claims

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The Secretary
Of the Treasury has stopped the payment of
the Treasury draft for $769, ,144, drawn
in favor of the Governor of Indiana,
in settlement Of the claim of that State
under the direct tax act. This action is due
to discovery that there is an unsettled liza
bility on the part of Indiana, amounting to
81, 900, on account of old war claims, which
liability was overlooked in the settlement of
the States account with the Government.
The matter will be settled for the present
by paying the State all in excess of the
amount in dispute, leaving it for future
adjustment
