Yesterday afternoon U. S. Commits
sioner gave Harry Bowers and Jack
Meredith a preliminary hearing on the
charge of passing bogus coin. The
prisoners were represented by Col.
Arnett and Commissioner Campbell
conducted determination forthe pros
ecution. Lieut.. Gaus, Of the city police,
testified to being called to Jesse Monte
cello's house on Thursday morning
early, where the two men. had spent ten
of the bad dollars. He arrested them.
The money was turned over TO him and
he produced it in court,
Jesse Monticello and the two girls
with whom Bowers and Meredith were,
told OF receiving the money, The girl
who got the five dollars from Meredith
said he told her to turn down the light
and he would pay her. She did so,
and remarked that the money felt light,
and she believed it was bad, Meredith
said no, it was good, but she turned up
tho light again and looked at 1t, and,
her suspicious being confirmed, she
took the money to Miss Monticello and
told her she believed it was bad. Tho
latter then took 1t out 10 inquire, which
led to the arrest,
A woman who was tending bar in q
Sixteenth street saloon last Friday tes-
tilted that the two prisoners offered her
o dollar which she declined to take,
saying she did not think it was good.
Both men told her they thought she
was mistaken, but when she said she
would rather not take it, they took it
back and gave her q good dollar,
After this witnesEs testimony the
case was continued till 3p. m. to-day.
The room was full Of witnesses. One
tells u story of learning that the two
men were passing bad money and fol-
lowing them into q saloon, whore he
saw them offer another bogus dollar,
which was refused. 1t is said also that
a saloonkeeper followed them n day
after finding they had given him o bad
dollar and made them take it back and
give him q good one. Another bar.
keeper refused q dollar they offered
him, and when they insisted it was
I&ood told them they we're liable to go
| over the road" for carrying the stuff. A
friend, OF theirs says he was told they
were Showing the queer" and he told
them they had betterdrop it. There
arc at least half a dozen other cases
where they are said to have passed the
money or tried to do SO.
On the other hand Mr.. Cooper sus-
aims Bowera's starry that he bought a
horse from Bowers and paid him five
S. bills, and several witnesses testify to
having changed S. bills tor him about
that time and giving him silver dollars
in return, but none OF them Is apt to
admit thot he gave him the bad dollars,
and certainly no three will do SO, and
in order to account for his having eleven
bogus dollars, as he HAD Thursday
morning, at least three Of those who
CHARGED money for him must have
given him bad coins.

QUITTING serapo INST Night.

Shortly after Z o'clock last evening
two boys, named Smith Colbert and
John Rice, got into a quarrel in Alley
B, near Sixteenth street, and Colbert
was cut by Rice. Flo says that a third
boy held him while Rice stabbed him,
and that it required four stitches TO
SOW up the cut; but the wound looks
like the thrust Of a small pocket knife.
He was able to 90 to his homo In the
Fifth ward without assistance. Rice
lives in Ritchietown. The police are
looking for him. The boys are about

Last evening about seven o'clock
Harry Lewis. u young fellow who lives
in the rear Of 749 Main street, was sit
ting on a lumber car with his feet hang
ing down. when another car bumped
into it, catching his feet and legs against
the ends oil the boards and crushed
them badly. The accident happened
on the Pewiky railroad, about 500 feet

the bones broken.

FIR. BLAND.

Mir. Bland will vigorously resist all
efforts to incarcerate HIM in gold
buggery.-W Washington Post.
The trouble with Mr.. Bland seems to
be that his head is sWelled and his
temper is out of ioint.-BostOn Herald.
Mr.. Bland is still of the opinion that
he will catch the congressional handicap
on a lG to l shot.-W ashimgton Post.
The great difficulty with Mr.. Bland is
that his desire to talk has Overlapped
his material for diScuSSion.-New York
World,
If some enterpriSing newspaper re-
porter will flag Hon. Richard Z. BANDS
train of thoughts he will strike rich
lead.-Washington Post.
Daddy Bland, of silver dollar fame,
will roll his cart wheel around the caDi-
tol again. If his constituents knew any
thing they would have rolled him irto
private life long ago.-Pittsburg Com
mercial Gazette.
Close observers are able to infer from
the remarks of Hon. Richard z. Bland
that it is his intention TO put in a few
words for free silver coinage before the
adjournment of the extra session.
Washington Post.
The bill which Mr.. Bland has pre-
pared. providing for the free coinage of
silver at the present ratio. is pretty
positive indication that its author would
be sadly out OF place at the head of the
coinage committee.-Boston Herald.
Bland, the wild Missouri silverite, is
on hand in Washington with free coin
aye measure. and the people who think
that congress will wind up its extra SEES
son in ten days are growing scarce. -

A DIsGRACEFUL SCENE,

One of the most-and perhaps the
most-disgracetul official scenes ever
enacted in Ramsey county, was that
witnessed at the meeting of the board of
county commissioners Friday evening.
The county auditor is, by virtue oil his
office, clerk of the board, but not a
member. He nevertheless took occa-
sion to pour forth volley of profanity
upon the board, and announce that he
was Tired of having it rubbed in" on
him.
Aside from the lndecency of his lam
guage, the public, and particularly the
taxpayers. will note that the offense of
the county commissioners which aroused
the auditors ire consisted in PROPOSE
ton to have the stationery of the county
secured and the public printing done
III an honest manner.
Just why this official should take
offense (even if he had done so in a gen
tlemaniy manner) and consider it rub
blng it in" if the present plan is cor
rect one, is question which will nat
