wide from building limo to building
line, while the distance between tho
curbs is only 34% feet. There are two
railway tracks on the avenue with 10
feet space from the track on either
side to tie curb. BY tho newly pro-
posed plan, the draining on other side
OF the car tracks will be 10 feet wide.

COUNTERFEIT ooINERs Gagged.
Their Discovery viii Lead to Whole
sale Arrests of Their Patrons.

PITTsBURa, March 23.-Early in Jan
uary last counterfeit coin was freely cir
culated among the Polish Jews. Hun
garians and Italians in different parts of
Pittsburg, particularly in the Four
teenth ward. The government secret
service was called into action, and yes
terday arrested the two proprietors of
the "money to order" factory while ply
ing their vocation in the cellar of house
occupied by Thomas Link, near Du-
quesne. Pa, twelve miles from this city.
The principals, whose names are John
O'Leath and Peter Sincus, were locked
up i'll the Pittsburg Jail. Sincus has
been in this country nine months, and
was driven from Poland about year
ago for making counterfeit money, at
which he is very expert. The spurious
coin is in dollars and half dollars. made
on government presses and plates. The
small coin was made from plaster of
paris molds.
The detectives have gathered up about
5000 that the counterfeiters had placed
in circulation in Pittsburg. Their bust
ness has been extensive and large sums
have been shipped to various parts of
the country, principally to Michigan.
The detectives have also secured the
names of over one hundred people who
have been purchasers Of the bogus
money, and they will also likely be ar
rested.
Link, in whose cellar the work was
done, works at night and claims to know
nothing of the work done by the men.
The principals are also known to have
purchased large quantities Of copper,
lead and other metals, as well as tools
of various kinds in this city. Their pro-
duction was almost perfect and was
easily disposed of.

ANOTHER WAR CLOUD
Russian Activity Causes Alarm in
Austrian Military Circles.
REINFORCING FRONTIER GUARDS.

A Great Deal of War Talk Among
Russian Soldiers. Mainly Directed
Against Germany Householders
Ordered to be Prepared TO Accom-
modate Soldiers.
VIENNA, March 23.-The Austrian
government is greatly disturbed by the
attitude of the military in Russian Po-
land. General Gourko, acting, it is
presumed, under orders from st. Peters
burg, appears to be making preparations
for hositilities against some power,
whether Austria or Germany is not
apparent.
The defenses of Warsaw are being
strengthened and householders have
been notified of the number of soldiers
that each house will have to accommo-
date in the event of Russian army talk
ing up quarters in the city. Persons
whose loyalty is questioned are expelled
from Warsaw and other Polish cities,
and some are being sent to Siberia
The guards on tile frontier have been
reinforced and fortified camps have been
established at convenient points for a
sudden movement in the direction of
either Prussia or Austria. Large bodies
of troops are in continual motion, and
altogether the situation is calculated to
stimulate anxiety both at Vienna and
Berlin.
General Gourko returned short time
ago from a personal conference with
the czar, and preparations have been in
creased since he came back to his COM
mand 1t is said that in the event of a
European war the Russian infantry
would use the old Berdan rifles with
smokeless powder, as the magazine
rifles now being manufactured in France
will not be ready for another ut the
very earliest.
Is IL Against Germany
A great deal of 'war talk" is rife
among the military elements in all parts
of the Russian empire, which is particu-
larly directed against Germany. The
Russian military maneuvres during the
present year will be on gigantic scale.
The forces engaged will consist of the
Guards and First Army corps from St.
Petersburg, the Grenadier corps and the
Thirteenth Army corps from Moscow,
the Ninth and Tenth Army corps from
Charkotf and the Eleventh and Twelfth
Army corps from kieif.
he troops from the two mentioned
districts will form, under the command
OF General Obrutschoof, chief of the
Russian headquarters staff, the eastern
army, while remaining half will con-
stitute the western army under General
Dragoniroff. To each army will be
added four cavalry divisions, making u
grand total Of POO 600 of all rank.
The Russian ambassador is said to
have given assurances to Austria that
there is no hostile intent on the part of
Russia in the extraordinary military
movements in Poland, but the Austrian
government is not, for that reason, ceas-
ing to take vigorous precautions against
u sudden attack.
General Krieghammer, at Cracow, has
been ordered to maintain increased Wig
