THE TWo-DoiLAR COUNTERFEIT.
Extent of the Circulation Unknown-A
Substitute with Windows Portrait
IRv fnlerrnnh 70 the Disnatch.l


[By telegraph to the Dispatch.l
WASHINGTON, April THE counterfeit
two-dollar silver certificate heretofore de-
scribed in these dispatches IS causing con-
siderable trouble in the Treasury Depart
ment. Not more than twenty of these
counterfeits have come into the hands of
the Treasury officials. The extent of their
circulation however, IS not known, as they
bear so close resemblance to the genuine
note that they cannot be readily detected
except by experts. The issue OF the regu-
lar series of the two-dollar certificate has
been suspended, and arrangements are be-
ing made for the issue of a substitute. The
original bears the portrait of General
Hancock, and the substitute will have that
of Secretary Window. While the old
series has not been called IN, none of the
notes of that series coming into the Irea-
sury will be Te-lSsued.
TIE DISTINCTIVE PAPER.
The department is also considering the
advisability of disseminating the use of the
distinctive paper on which Government
notes and securities are now printed.
commission has been appointed TO investi-
gate the manufacture and use of the paper
and TO report whether the interests of the
Government require any additional safe
guards in that respect. This commission
consists of James +. Meline, assistant
cashier; A. l.. Drummond, chief Of the
Secret-Service Division; w. l.. Eldredge,
of the office of the Comptroller of the
Currency, Ward Morgan, of the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, and L. l.. Mills, Of
the Secretary's office.
NEVER INITIATED.
II is stated at the department that the
paper now in use has never yet been sue
cessfullv initiated and that no fears are
entertained in that respect II Is felt,
however, that no harm can come from
efforts intended to remove all possible
doubts on the subject.
Messrs. Robert H. Thurston, of Ithaca,
NY. Francis A. Pratt. of Hartford, Conn,
and Theodore N. Ely, of Philadelphia,
Pa, constitute another Treasury commits
sion charged with the duty of reporting
the best method of safe and vault con-
struction, with view TO renewing or inn
proving the vault facilities of the Treasury
Department. They will meet in this city
next week. 100

at all regarding it.
This ended the rebuttal for the State.
On the question of DR.. Husted's testl-
mony, the Court said it would not rule
at present, and notified the defense to
get its witnesses ready. The defense said
they had other witnesses, also, on an
other matter, Col. Arnett saying they
had three or four witnesses as to mat
tiers which would consume but very
short time-an hour-to close up In
sur-rebuttal. The arguments could be
arranged for in the morning, and could
proceed as soon as the evidence was in.

Bv Dovener -Q.-Cfeneral Caldwell,
did YOU ever 90 into DR.. GarriSon'S OF
Gee and see pistol lying there? A
/ have no recollection OF ever being in
his Office or of ever talking about a piS-
tot there.
Odd you ever run away from a
probable difficulty between Dr. CARR
son and DR.. Baird, in South Wheeling?
Al have no recollection OF ever antlc-
mating collision between DR.. CARR
son and Or. Baird; l went down TO
Centre Wheeling with him once, at his
request. TO see Mr.. Shafer; IL was
prior 60 the election, or TO the Demo
cratic primaries; there had been some
trouble in the Sixth ward and we went
down there TO see about fixing up the
trouble. as we both wanted TO see the
Democrats carry the ward; l went
down because / was Interested in some
of the gentlemen, and we wanted TO see
If we couldn't fix up compromise
Council ticket; it was in the evening
and was just getting dark; we
got I'D to Mr.. Skaters store,
and as we got there l saw DR.. Baird; he
had got out of his buggy, and was hitch
inc his horse; DR.. Garrison went in the
store and / walked ON across the cross
street, because l did not care TO have
DIR. Baird see me with DR.. Garrison
DIR Baird was my uncle, and l had
known of the difficulty, and l had no
opportunity TO make an explanation to
him there: I had no idea of any trouble
of any SOFT, and merely walked on past
because the light from she store SHOWN
out on the sidewalk did not acceler-
ate my speed. but merely walked on
slowly across the street.
O.-What, if anything, did DR.. Garri-
son do to accelerate his speed? A
Nothing. he walked right up in the
glare of the light and went in the store.
Gould DR.. Baird have seen him?
Al don't see how DIR. Baird could
have avoided seeing him.
Bv Arnett-That was last winter? a.
Yes: preceding the election; our OBJ
iect was Co see Mr.. Shafer, and when
we we're about in front of his house we
saw. Or. Baird'S buggy, and l kept on
mast the door and crossed the side
street. and after Or. Baird went away
went back; il is possible l may have
said did not want DR.. Baird to see me
that was my object; DR.. Garrison
lust walked into the store; l came In
in a very short space of time; Doctor
Baird did not drive away; he went into
4 house around the corner, and then l
came back and went in the store; | had
no idea that there would be any trouble,

To Arnett-I know ]. f. Baker; he
is a man who would tell stories, in the
general way of talking, but l don't
think he would lie-he likes to brag.
To Dovener-I don't think he'd swear
to a lie, but he might tell some big story
about things; l have heard it said that
if any man would tell story, he could
tell bigger one-something like that.

was then called for the State.
ITO Dovener-I was Coroner on March
eth and Justice of the Peace; | held the
inquest on the body of DR.. Baird.
Can't. Dovener then proceeded to ask
what the position of the pistol was,
when the defense objected and were
overruled: the witness said he took a
pistol from his left hip pocket; | had
some difficulty in getting it out. because
the pistol was in this position Illus
trating the revolver with the muzzle
down and the hammer to the
rear, and he explained when he tried to
get it out the hammer caught in the
lining. | was subpGnaed for the de-
Tense last Saturday and | came up in
the afternoon. Col. Arnett told nae he
was sorry he had Inconvenience me,
but that he had a substitute in the per-
son of the Sheriff.
DR.. Reed Baird was wanted by the
State, but as he could not be found at
the moment, the State rested in rebuff
tai. COL Arnitt then wanted to know
what was to be done with the motion TO
strike out DR.. Husted's testimony.
While this was being discussed DR..
Baird appeared and took the stand.
He identified the pistol, and said his
father must have owned it nearly six
years that he knew of; he often carried
it: he usually put it in his pocket when
he went out at night have known him
to carry it for weeks; | would see it
when he was dressing, in his pocket,
and have seen it in his bookcase, in
his office; think that has been about
his habit regarding it.
To Mr.. Sommerville he said he had
not roomed at home since 1888, but since
theL he had been in his fathers house
at one time and another, every hour in
the twenty-four: | have been in my
fathers house every day, when | was in
town; couldn't tell how often | had
seen him have the pistol; had seen 1t
so often that paid no attention to 1t.
To the Court think you might say
he has habitually carried it; he was very
much afraid Of dogs.
To Sommerville-I saw him get II
often from the bookcase or on the man
tel in his room, and | often saw him
have it in his pocket; his habits in that
respect did not change, to my know
edge, and know of no one trying to
get him to not carry it, or to advise him
to get it; to my knowledge, during the
last year, his habit did not vary with re-

One night this spring, on train com
ing east on the Erie road, the porter of
sleeping car aroused half dozen OF the
male sleepers toask if they had anything
with them to cure case of the collie. a
drummer for a city hardware house
fumbled around in his coat and finally
said:
Here's box of soda mints which may
helm him. He can use the whole box and
be hanged to him, for he's no business to
have the collie"
Nothing further was heard Of the case
until morning. when a strapping young
man. with a far west look to his hair
came into the sleeper with the mint boz
in his hand, and inquired for the drum
mer and said:
TOOK 'em all but one, and they
smashed my collie right in the eye. How
much to pay?"
Nothing, sir. I'm only too glad t
have been Of service to you"
When the other had gone the drum
mer opened the box and we saw his han
trying to climb up.
Great Scott, boysl but what do 20
think" he gasped.
"What is itT'
