foreDt Jhils.
Mr.. Harris and Others connected with
the Governments secret service are jubilant
over the success of their efforts In arTesting
Giovanni Abbatti. the chief of counterfeiters,
aud four of his pals. They expected to
make several more arrests, but did not,
owing TO the miscarriage Of their plans
When the story of the arrest OF Ab0alti and
Fiscanti in the Chestuut-Dlace house leaked
out Harris telegraphed to Sheriff Cum ing
ham OF Stockton to arrest NJ. ID. Howell.
Cunningham had been shadowing him for
some tine, and consequently had little
trouble IN locating him al his home.
Charles NJ. Murray, a salOon-keerer at
Fourth and Stevenson streets, was suspected
of dealing in bogus coin, in fact making his
saloon a rendezvous OF showers of the
queer" The publication Of the arrest Of
Abbatt aud ViscOnti in an evening paper
put the SHOWERS Of the queer" on their
guard. Detectives GennOn aud COffey Wis
tied the saloon in hopes Of bagging several
of them at least. They departed satisfied
with finding aud aTTeStiug Murray. Plenty
Of evid enco was secured against him, and
yesterday he was held to answer the charge
OF making AID selling counterfeit money,
with bail set at Geo bonds NJ ID. How
ell, who arrived from Stockton yesterday
morning, was held in the sum OF $4,000
Neither Of the men could give bail, so Muir
ray was transferred to the Alameda County
jail and Howell 10 the city's Institution on
Broadway.
Howell and Murray were dealing IN spurl-
Gus coin, manufactured By Abbatti. Howell,
who is the husband OF the adopted daughter
Of the late ". b. Johnson. who left an IS
tate two years ago IN Stockton valued ut
100000, was trapped by receptiug for
package of marked coins, seized by Harris
from Wells, Fargo & Co. He was known
TO be an intimate friend Of Murray, and as
he coTTespOnded with him the latter was
watched.
The Government agents soon discovered
that Howell and Murray purchased Abbattr
spurious product at wholesale rates ana
then sold It 10 men known as showers.
Murray admits that his saloon was the re-
sort Of cOunteTfeiters, and says that on
several occasions he tried 20 force them out
or his place He denies handling any
spurious coin, 30 does Howell. Murray was
formerly n clerk IN the Russ House Of
Modesto, and for some time acted as
deputy constable in that town. he always
enjoyed good reputation.
Abba;ti was transferred to the Santa
Clara County Jail yesterday. and Viscontl
sent to Alameda. 1t viii be seen that
Harris has separated the whole gang, so as
they cannot talk with each other. James
Smith, the cOunterfeiter who was arrested
at San Pablo on April 18th, was yesterday
sent from. the County Jail in this city 10
that in Alameda County. He was never
formally charged until yesterday, and ii Is
said that it was through confession made
by him at the time of his arrest that Alb

FRESH AIR.
A Lady Invents q Useful Article fol-
Railway Trains.

For several weeks there has been In
operation on car No. $50 of the local Oak
land trains an ingenious device, patented
by Mrs Harriet NJ. Plumb of New York,
intended to keep cars supplied with fresh
air without the attendant annoyance Of dust
and clnders. 1t consists of cylinder
fastened between the windows of the car,
admitting the air while the dust is kept out
by fine screens a: the ends of the cylinder.
A sliding piece of metal is arranged so that
the quantity of air can be regulated or en-
tirely shut off. The cylinder can be re-
moved for cleaning whenever desired. So
far the device has given great satisfaction.
and if the Southern Pacific Company elect
to adopt it on their local trains it will, no
doubt, lessen the evident desire at times on
the part of the travelling public to smash
the windows and let in little fresh air.
