CAUGHT SHOWING QUEER.

An Allegheny Man and Woman Arrested
for Passing Counterfeit Silver Dollars
Had the Coin Hidden in Her shoe-Told
Many Conflicting Stories.
The Allegheny police believe they have
made an important capture of counter
feiters. For some time complaints nave
been made that there were considerable
number of counterfeit silver dollars in cir
culation in Allegheny. One complaint
CART street, -rho said that s. of these spuri.
GUS coin had been passed on him within ten
DAYS.
The police were on the lookout all over
the city, but nothing could be learned until
last night when a woman about A wears old
and very plainly dressed entered Williams
& Miller's bakery, at No. Saran street,
and, after making a small purchase, threw
down dollar. Mr.. Miller refused to take
it. saying it was counterfeit The woman
declared she did not know it was, and said
she had Just gotten S. note changed and it
must have been given to her in that way.
She was then asked where she had gotten
the change, but could not tell. The man
still refused to accept the money, and the
WOilsn b1en Claimed Sne only nau % centS-
As this statement did not quite tally with
the change story, Mr.. Williams called in
Lieutenant McKelvey.
AT Central station the woman's name was
found to be Mrs. H. E. Hart, and she lived
at q Taggart street. She was searched, and
all that could be found on her was S2 in
good money. She was noticed to step
trifie lightly on one foot, and the officers be-
coming suspicious had her shoes taken off,
and in the sole of one was found another
spurious coin. When asked about it she
said it had been given to her in change, and
when she found it was counterfeit she
put it in her shoe, so it would not get
mixed with her other money. She said she
was afraid she might pass it without notic-
ing it.
The officers then went to Mrs Hart's
house where they found her husband He
is tall, awkward looking man about 90
years old, and SAYS he is a carpenter. Some
money was found on him, but it was all
good. He refused p do any talking. A
guard was placed over the house and the
case will be turned over to United States
Detective McSweeney to-day, when the
house will be searched. The neighbors did
not know anything about the family.

Another Committee Wakes Up.
The House Committee on Revision of the
Laws has aroused from its dormant state
and started to work with considerable vigor
and activity. The committee held its
regular meeting to-day, and considered
several important measures. Chairman
Ellis, of Kentucky, appointed sub-com-
mittee TO frame and report a bill having Tor
its object the revision and annexation of
the statutes of the United States down to
the present time. 1t has been some years
since this was done. The work has been
OF great interest to the legal profession, and
will be one of the principal things to be
considered by the committee. Several bills
proposing the establishment of a bureau of
Congressional correspondence were referred
to a subcommittee, with instructions to ex-
anime into the matter and report to the full
committee. These bills contemplate the
employment of a corps of stenographers and
typewriters who shall be available for use
by any member of Congress They reflect
the sentiment of a considerable number OF
members Of the House who find their time
taken up largely by letter writing. A bill
introduced by Representative Little, with
regard to the reckoning of time throughout
the United States, was discussed, and the
Chairman was instructed to ask the Inter
State Commerce Commission for informa-
tion on the subject

ern Waterways Association, appeared be-
fore the Senate Committee on Commerce to-
day and presented memorial and resolu-
ton recently adopted at the Evansville

Of the Western waterways. The resolution
and memorial were the same as those pre-
scented yesterday before the House Com
mittee on River and Harbors and explained
by Mr.. Miller, of Kansas City.
The Senate Committee on Commerce has
ordered a favorable report on the bill in
troduced by Senator SAWYER to repeal GER
tain sections of the revised statutes requir-
ing vessels engaged in inland water naviga-
tion to carry life-savirg projectiles and the
appliances for propelling them.

The State Will Investigate.

The State Treasury is now quietly inves-
tigating into the disposition of cases brought
during the past five years by the Law and
Order detectives with a view to seeing
what the fines were and what was done
with them. Where imposed for violation
of the act of 1894, they should have been
paid into the treasury, as they belonged to
the Commonwealth, but notwithstanding
the activity of the prosecutions it is stated
that, with the exception of the money paid
in by Robert S. Frazier, Esq, agent for the
State, there has been $50 returned in fines
from Allegheny county inside Of year.
The number of cases brought by the Law
and Order detectives between 1888 and the
present is estimated at several thousand, as
Judgment was generally given against the
defendants and as the fines ranged from $50
to S25 very considerable sum remains to
be accounted for to the State by someone.

speak word of English, but through an
int erpreter the following was brought out:
The Kaws have an old law that if any
member of the Council becomes drunk his
associates shall expel him and elect sue
cessor A month ago Washetoka went to
Arkansas City, and while there got drunk
As soon as he served his term the punish
ment of expulsion stared him in the face,
and he began to concoct plan to escape.
Finally he bought two gallon Jug of
whisky and took it home On Tuesday he
went to the Council meeting and took his
jug along, and the whole Council got glo-
riously drunk, and nobody dared make
charges against Washetoka. The old man
retains his seat in the Council, but the
Deputy Marshal nabbed him for introduc-
ing the whisky. Judge Green smilingly let

WAsHTNGToN, d. c., Feb. 6.-The Mexi-
can Government is endeavoring to secure
the extradition of three men now in the
custody of the civil authorities at Las
Cruces, n. NJ, and the Governor of that
Territory has been in correspondence with
the Secretary of State on the subject.
These men are charged with murder, but it
is believed that they are wanted for politi
cal ofienses. Two of them are citizens of
Mexico, but the third, Romegio Sais, is
said to be an American.
The Secretary of State to-day telegraphed
Governor Prince, New Mexico, that if Sais
is an American citizen he should not be
surrendered. The department holds gem
orally that none of these prisoners should
be surrendered if the charge against them
is political in its character.
