STOCKTON, Dec. 22.-An important cap-
ture of counterteiters was made here this
afternoon by Deputy Sheriffs Benjamin
and Cassidy, and a lot of bogus five
dollar pieces were found in the pockets ot
one Of the prisoners. Counterfeit five
dollar pieces were passed here several
days ago, and the officers have been on
the lookout for the men. To-day the
Sheriff's deputies, who were watching a
man named r. A. Maddux, saw him
hand bogus piece to a young man
named J. \. Scott, and they immediately
placed both men under arrest.
MadduX had in his pockets S42O in
counterfeit tive-dollar pieces, and the
young man had one piece. Part of Mad
duX' stuff was in a cloth tobacco pouch
and the balance in an old purse. He had
only few pieces Of good Silver coin.
Notice of the arrests was wired to Sec
ret Service Officer Harris, and he will
arrive tonight.
MadduX was formerly a hotel-keeper
at Upton, in Tulare County. and when
he came here last Monday he said he was
selling patent churn, but he was work.
ing oil bogus money. The officers saw
the counterfeit is not bad imitation of
good money, but is light and has a poor
ring. The milling is good, but the face
OF the stuff looks off color. The stutf
would readily pass in the hurry of busi-
ness at the holiday season.

PORTLAND, Dec. %. Not since the
winter of 1884 has this city and vicinity
experienced such a snowstorm as has pre-
vailed for two days past. Two feetsof
snow has already fallen, and at 9 o'clock
tonight it was still falling. Many lines
of business are suspended, and persons
living in the suburbs are unable to reach
the city owing to the suspension of traffic
on the electric and cabe-car lines. The
Third-street electric line made an effort
to run cars to-day, but only succeeded for
a short time. All trains are moving,
though much behind time. The telegraph
lines are down south of Salem, and the
only reports of the storm in that section
have been received through passengers
on the overland. The Southern Pacific
officials state that there is but little snow
south of Eoseburg.
Between Salem and Albany the storm
was very severe, and many telegraph
poles were blown down. The snowfall
along the Columbus River is very heavy
though at no point on the river has the
thermometer fallen below l50 above zero.
Along the Union Pacific, between this
city and The Dalles, about three feet has
fallen, though with the aid of snow-pIows
the company is able to run trains with
out serious delay.
In Eastern Oregon snow is reported
from all points as far east as Huntington,
varying in depth from five to eight
inches, and the weather slightly below
the freezing point.
Reports from Eastern Washington show
a fall OF snow from five to ten inches. In
Montana and North Idaho the weather is
cold, the thermometer ranging from 10
to 25' below zero.
The Columbia River is closed to nayi-
cation above Vancouver on account of
ice. The boats leaving to-day were COM
PEELED to return after proceeding as far as
Vancouver.
SPOKANE (Wash.J, Dec. 22.-The biz
Zard conditions continue throughout this
section, and train service is more or less
demoralized, and many telegraph and
telephone wires are down. A fine snow
IS falling, and the wind drifts it and keeps

hugs close to the zero mark.
ASHLAND orr, Dec. 22.-A heavy rain

DANGER OF INFECTION.
Disease-Breeding Rags Imported Into
New York.

DiSease-BreedinG Rags Imported Into
New York.
NEW YORK, Dec. 22-Unless Health
Officer Jenkins is more thorough in carry
ing out the orders OF the Treasury Depart
ment, relative to the importation Of rags
from the cholera-infected districts of
Europe, some merchants threaten vigor-
GUS measures will be taken to have the
law enforced.
One paragraph of the order of the
Treasury of August 10Th relative to quar-
antine reads: cit is also ordered that rags
gathered in or shipped from any port or
place where the cholera is known to pre-
vail in epidemic form be denied entry to
the United States absolutely on and after
the date of this circular, except such as
are then atloat, which must be disintected
on arrival"
The steamship State of Alabama arrived
December 9Th with l I.0G0 bales of rags and
most of this cargo is now at the Hoboken
stores. A protest was made against the
admission of these rags on the day after
the arrival of the vessel, but DR.. Jenkins
issued permit for unloading. Samples
of the rags were obtained by the official
sampler, who made affidavit that he
found in the bales many bloody rags, as
well as rags which apparently come from
foul, although the bales are stamped dis
infected" 1t is learned that these and
other cargoes were imported from Russia.
DANGER AHEAD.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The continued
prevalence of cholera in Europe excites
apprehension in Administration circles.
The hope entertained that the dread disease
was eXtirpated is dissipated in the face of
reportS,Of new cases, and the conviction
is forced upon Government officials that
as predicted by many scientists, the dis
ease will reappear with increased violence
in the spring. The United States Consul
at Hamburg to-day increased this uneasi-
ness by sending the following cablegram:
''N esterday there We're two cases; to-day
four and one DEATH" Commenting on
this, Assistant Secretary Spaulding said
the situation was far from reassuring,
and that this Government must not let
down the bars nor relax its eXertions to
keep the cholera from gaining a foothold
in the United States.

well executed, have been aoated in inn
