staulslaus wroblenslti Held in $1,000
Bail for Attempting Free Coinage of
Silver In This City.
An interesting case, covering the
charge of counterfeiting silver coin, was
heard in the United States court before
Commissioner S. Redmond Smith yes
terday.
The defendant is Stanislaus Wrob-
lenski, Pole, living at No. 1908 East
Tenth street. He cannot speak English.
A number OF the witnesses also are
Poles. and are similarly Ignorant OF
English
The Polish police officer, Theodore
Sarkoski, acted as interpreter.
A Polish youth, about 10 years of age,
Ludwig Waukoski, was the first wit
ness. Ludwig lives with the counter
feiter. He saw Wroblenslsi go through
the whole process of counterfeiting.
The operator used the soft white metal
found in the sounding board Of mouth
organs and concertenas. He would
melt it in a ladIe. The mould was a
cigar box filled with sand into which
the genuine coin was placed. The
white metal was then melted and
poured into the mould. The box con-
tanning the mould was double, opening
out SO as to impress the double face, of
both sides Of the counterfeited coin.
The witness saw the United States
money coined but once. The material
was obtained from neighbor next
door named Norkavius. Wroblenski
comes from Pittsburg, and has been
here about two years,
Mrs. Frances Fischer, another witness,
is the wife Of an Edge Moor employe.
She rents the house referred to. The de-
PENDANT Is tenant The witness saw
Wroblenski on one occasion melting the
white metal. A half dollar was borrowed
from her by Wroblenski on that occa-
sion. She saw the defendant melting the
metal. The mould was made of two
wooden shoe backing boxes. A search
was made for the mould when the de-
| tectives came around, but 1t could not
be found. The melting ladle was made
of old pieces of tin put together by
! Wroblenski.
Theodore Sarkoski testified that last
Thursday morning he called at the
house but made the arrest on Saturday.
The neighbor Norkavius was found with
a box full of the white metal. A mum
| Der OF other Poles were present. Among
them were two persons who, Officer
Sarkoski said, had picked up three
counterfeit nickels that Wroblenski had
in his possession and dropped just as
the officer made the arrest. The two
persons threw the counterfeit coins into
the stove where they were melted.
The counterfeit coins are very gooC
limitations of money.
"That man must be an artist" re
marked Commissioner Smith as he ex
amined the coin, "to make such ;
counterfeit coin as that" 1t was littlt
dark colored, but with dead sound
and of that soapy touch so often felt il
the counterfeit.
Wroblenski was ordered held in 81 ,00l
bail on the charge of countorfeiting.
This is the first case of the kind tina
has come up in the district court TO
many years. Some 10 or 10 years ag,
Commissioner Smith issued searcl
warrant on suspicion of manufacturing
United States coin. But it came t
nothing.

One Italian Slabs Another Over Very
Trivial Matter. Infiicting n Frightful
Wound.
Angelo Marius Pansello, an Italian,
was slashed with razor by one of his
countrymen about 1870 o'clock, yesterday
afternoon, inflicting a frightful cash,
beginning back of the left car and ex-
tending to the windpipe. The man who
did the cutting was Fidelo Peratz. The
affair occurred on the pavement almost
in front of Sharkey's saloon, at Front
and Market streets.
Peratz boards with Samuel PEG, at the
corner of Water and Market streets,
while the victim was stopping at the
Rome restaurant on Market street above
Front.
1t was with great deal of difficulty
that any particulars could be obtained.
From the Italian quarters, however, it
was learned that the men quarreled
over small amount of money which
Peralz is said to have owed Pansello.
The assailant sold Panselo some cloth
ing month ago, which, il is claimed,
he failed to pay for. Pansello has been
out of town for several weeks, returning
from Chester Tuesday evening. Peratz

anything but the money.
Yesterday Pansello was talking to
some companions in front of Sharkey's
saloon when Peratz, who came along
without a word of warning, drew his
razor across Pansello's neck, inflicting q
terrible cash. Peratz then fed, but was
afterwards arrested. He was taken to
the city hall.
Pansello was also removed to the
police station, where DR.. M. ]. Hughes
stitched up the wound.

The Oficials at the Delaware Building
Know Nothing OF Any Sale of the
Structure.
Worlds Fair Commissioner Willard
Hall Porter, who returned from Chicago
Saturday night, states that at the Della
ware Building at the Worlds Fair
nothing whatever was known of any
sale of the structure.
He says the managers of the Virginia
Building received cash offer of $500
for their structure. The officials tele-
graphed home for consent to the offer.
This building is near three times the
size of that Of Delaware. 1t would cost
at least $500 to remove the Virginia
Building back to that State. II is an
exact reproduction of the Mt. Vernon
mansion.
The Idaho State Building was put up
in sections with view of taking it to
pieces again. 1t was built of logs, each
one being numbered. 1t was purchased
by gentleman from New Jersey, who
will erect it ON his estate.

EAST TAwAs, Mich, Nov. 7.-By
collision between the Western Transit
Company's steamer Albany and the
Anchor Line steamer Philadelphia, off
Point aux Barques, at $50 this morning,
"a lives were lost and both steamers
were sunk in 900 feet of water.
The dead are:
From the Albany-S. B. Muerhead,
James Molloy, Thomas Pearce, Job
Price, S. NJ. Mutrie, William Sturrah,
Frank Keitchen, Albert Holm.
From the Philadelphia-C. NJ. Legritt,
Jerry Moran, ]. Hunt, A. Hanna, w.
Gibbs, G. Inquest, @. Rowen, r. Rem
shaw, 9. Williams, S. Coffee, John
Paint, G. Labelle, George Reidmaster,
George Wise, A. Corners, one unknown
man.
The two boats were running in
heavy fog about seven miles off Point
aux Barques. They had been going
slowly, and the watch felt fairly safe
when, at 2 o'clock this morning, both
vessels came together without seconds
warning.
Almost at once the Albany began to
sink and all hands were transferred to
the Philadelphia. The deserted boat
went down with rush but few min
utes after her crew, who knew, as
though by instinct, that the vessel was
lost, had managed to get safely aboard
the Philadelphia. 1t was soon appar-
ent to the officers of the Philadelphia
that the boat had been severely dam
aged in the collision, for she presently
began to sink. The two crews then
launched their boats and dropped over
the side into the water Not half an
hour after the collision the Philadelphia
too, was at the bottom of the lake. The
two boats sank in 200 feet Of water.
The first boat which contained 80 per-
sons, including the captains of both
vessels, reached shore after pull of
about five hours The second boat, con-
tanning "a members of the crews Of both
vessels, was lost sight of in the fog, but,
as the lake was calm, 1t was believed
the men were in no danger.
AS the morning wore on, however,
and the second boat failed to make its
appearance, the life-saving crew at
Point aux Barques was sent out in
search of the missing lifeboat, The
lie savers found it about eight miles
from shore, bottom up. Eleven bodies,
wearing life preservers, were found
floating in the vicinity, and these were
picked up and sent 10 East Tawas on
the City Of Concord.
Not survivor could be found. and ii
is supposed that the other occupants OF
the boat wore no life presergers and
went to the bottom at once when il
capsized. Nearly all the dead and
missing men were shipped from Buff
falo. The coroner Of Ehst Tawas this
evening began an inquest over the re.
mains of the II bodies recovered.

Sudden Ending of Meeting of the
weavers Held to Protest Against Cut
in Wages.
PROVIDENCE, r. l., Nov. 7.-Notice
was posted last night in the Atlantic
mills, where cotton and worsted dress
goods are made, announcing reduction
of Is per cent in wages of weavers and
a general reduction of 10 per cent in
wages of other operatives, the reduction
to go into effect November nth.
The weavers held meeting last even
ing to consider the situation, but before
they could take any action, the floor of
the hall collapsed and panic ensued.
A big ice chest in market under the
mill saved the floor from entire collapse,
which would have probably caused loss
of life and injuries. There is no likeli-
hood of an immediate strike.
