time in about three months the gold

Grave.
Simon Parker, well-known colored
character, went aboard the sand boat
Sand-snipc, which was lying at the foot
Of King street wharf, saturday night,
in an extreme state of into&icutioM.
When Parker came aboard the boat he
proceeded Immediately TO the cabin
where Mate Emmet Wilson was Just
falling into Il dDZc. Wilson saw that
tie negro was intoxicated and tried TO
induce him to remain quiet.
Parker finally lay down on the floor
of the cabin, and the mate fell asleep.
When he awolie next morning, Parker
was nowhere to be found. The mate
noticed blood on the cabin floor, which
looked as il the negro had fallen in a
drunken struggle and injured himself.
Watchmun Slaymaker, who was about
the wharf that night, declares he heard
IL splash in the river about II o'clock,
but upon further investigation he was
unable to find the cause Of the splashing
in the river. The watchman prior to
this had seen Parker on the deck of the
sand boat trying to lift a heavy trap
door without success. The suppostion
is that while wandering about on top OF
the boat Parker accidentally fell over

vile and had been working on the
Sandsnipe, which is used in hauling
sand from point along the Jersey
coast to Warmers wharf.
The body was found in the Christiana

ton Of his patient he found she was in q
condition of paralysis below the neck.

injury, and Dr.. lItlkens at once decided
that if the woman's life were possible of

suited similar to the previous diagnosis,
and an operation was decided upon as the
only means left of possibly saving the
patients life, 1t was recognized that the
possibilities of success were slight, but
still that it would be the proper course TO
attempt the critical operation.
In talking on the features of the case
DR.. Lukens remarked, 'lt was a heroic
case. | felt il | had not done as did

Yesterday morning at an Iearly hour
Harry Bowers and Jack Meredith were
arrested on a charge of passing counter
felt money. They were arraigned be-
fore United States Commissioners
Campbell, and in default OF bail were
sent to jail to secure their appearance
for hearing to-day,
For several weeks past Wheeling and
vicinity have been literally flooded
with very bad limitations OF silver dol
lars. Tho complaints on this score have
been constant and general, saloon keep
ers seeming to DO victimiSed ottener
than other people. The prevalence OF
the bad money has been mentioned in
the newspapers and the public eau
toned to look out for it. There were
rumors that the stuff was manufactured
at Benwood, but this now seems proha'
bly, mistake.
Bowers and Meredith night before
last visited Jesse Monticello's house, in
East Wheeling, and before they had
been there long each paid S. in what
was accepted for silver coin OF the realm.
They then retired. One OF tho ten dol.
lars they had given her aroused the
suspicion OF tho landlady, and she went
down to the Atlantic engine house and
telephoned to police headquarters.
Lieut.. George Gaus at once went over,
and she showed him the dollar and
asked him II it was good. He said no,
and asked il she had any moro. Miss
Monticello then produced tho other
nine, and Gaus told her they were all
bad.
She said the men-from whom she got
them were in her house, and taking
Patrol Driver Maloney along, the lieu
tenant went up aud arrested Bowers
and Meredith.
In one of Bowers's pockets was found
another of the bogus dollars, together
with three good silver dollars. The
two men were lodged in the lookup, and
later in the day were arraigned before
Commissioner Campbell, who sent them
to jail as stated,
Meantime Lieut.. Gaus went to Bon-
wood to investigate the rumor that
there was queer" foundry there, but
if there ever had been all traces Of it
had been removed,
The men are known to havo received
at various times small but heavy OK
press packages from Zaneaville, and it
is suspected that these contained the
coin. It is much lighter than the gon.
uine stuff, rough OF surface and has a
greasy feeling to tho fingers. The ring
OF genuine silver is somewhat initiated
in it., but not closely. 1t is thought to
BIO compound OF glass with little
Rabbit metal. Ono OF tho dollars when
let fall on stone broke into pieces,
showing it is brittle like glass,
Bowers was u conductor on an cleo.
trio car before the strike, and Meredith
was motornan. Neither has worked
since the strike, so far as known. Bow
ers ia said to have served two-year
sentence in the Moundsvillo pen for
larceny. It is reported that they have
been industrously Showing the queer
for some weeks. Bowers, however, ac'
counts for his possession OF the money
by saving he did not know it was bad,
and that he got it as change for five ST
bills, all changed for him at different
places, which is not q plausible story on
the face Of it.
