BOGUS MONEY.
Easy Methods by Which Counterfeit Coin
May he Detected.

From the Buffalo Express.
1t is not surprising that the business
men of Buffalo have counterfeit coin
passed upon them. The warnings given
out by the officers of the government
that dangerous COunterfets are in circu-
lation seem to have fallen on needless
cars. There is at present in circulation
in Buffalo and the surrounding country
a very good imitation of the new half dol
lars and quarters of 1894, and, unless 4
person is AN expert in telling counterfeit
money, he is likely to be caught with one
or more OF them
1t was a few days ago when the writer
saw one of them in business house, while
the proprietor was reading a lecture to
the employe who was supposed to have
cashed it. The coin was produced. and all
present united in saying that although
to be deceived by 1t. 1t was bright, but
it had the greasy feeling that nearly all
Weight than the ordinary half dollar, and
the lettering and raised work were blurred.
The conversation over the coin caused
some speculation about the readiness OF
business men in taking money of the kind
and an experiment was decided on, The
coin was placed with other coins OF the
same denomination. and was put through
its course of sprouts in twenty places. In
nineteen of the places 1t was taken with
out a question and placed in tho drawer,
the change being given readily.
In each Of the cases the man who took
the money was surprised to learn that he
had taken Il bad coin, and in one case,
had it not been for the witness-who, as
a matter OF protection TO the man VINO
was making the test, was sought before
the coin was passed--the coin would have
been lost The manager of the house was
ready to swear that he had not taken the
money, but he was convinced by the word
of his friend that he was mistaken, and,
AS the bad coin lay on top of the pile.
and was described so accurately, he was
compelled to admit that he was easy.
one of the men on whom the coin Was
passed was asked to give small change
for it and carried it about fifty feet be-
fore he placed il in the drawer, from
which he brought handful Of nickels. He
was compelled to admit that he was fooled
in the money, but got out of bad corner
by saying that II the money had been
proffered hy a stranger he would have eN-
amined ii more closely.
That is one of the reasons, probably,
why there is so much spurious money in
circulation. The money may be taken in
by accident, but ii is thrown, in "A drawer
and soon forgotten, with the result that
somebody gets it who may be arrested
for uttering counterfeit money The man
who first took in the spurious half dollar
and who prolferod 1t for a test of other
business men realized the fact that al
men are human when he was ready to
give change for the same coin and sud-
denly recognized the familiar look on its

ALL QUIET AT SPRING VALLEY.
The Trouble There Has Ended and Labor
crs Are Going to Work as Usual
No Troops Needed.

Spring Valley, Ill. Aug. s.--The trouble
in this city. for the present is at an end
All shafts blew for work this evening and
the settlement arrived al gives general
satisfaction. George Schiling, secretary of
the state labor bureau spent some time
among the colorcd people at Seatonvile
and came into the city this evening to at
tend miners meeting. He stated at the
meeting that he was here for the governor
and would not leave until the trouble was
settled. The miners at to-days meeting
rcadopted the resolutions Of yesterday.
After this meeting Mr. Schiling held a con-
ference with General Manager Dalzell and
It was agreed to start the mines in the
morning. Mayor Delmasro to-day swore in
nifty conservators Of the peace TO be ready
in an emergency In all likelihood Manager
Dalzell Will bring in the eXiled negroes to-
morrow and set them to work, The mayor
says he will protect them. j. S. Buckner
of Chicago, the colored legislator, who
announced in Springfield Tuesday night
that the bodies of thirty-four of his people
had been found in the woods around here,
arrived to-day from Seatonviile Soon aft
or he sent message to the governor, say
ing;
You must send troops here at once. The
mayor will not furnish any safe protection
to coIored people and they. demand that
you take the matter in hand"
Mayor Delmargo issued a proclamation
this afternoon calling on the citizens to CO.
operate in maintaining law and order, par
lGuiarly after the return Of the negroes.
When the mayor heard of Buckner's mes
sage TO the governor, he wired: Eve under
stand you have to-day been telegraphed to
for troops, Such n step is not necessary.
There has been no disturbance here since
sunday last. COlOred people who were then
driven out have been assured that if they
return hey VIII be protected; They are
peace are adequate for their protection and
are held in readiness, waiting for their re-
turn We assure you that if they return
they will not he moested. now that we
have a sufficient force to protect them"
Mr.. Schilling said tonight that the troops
We're not needed. and he would so report to
the governor. Representative Buckner ex-
pressed himself late Tonight as satisfied
with the turn affairs had taken.

ONLY ONE LIFE WAS LOST,
The Railroad Accident in New Mexico Not
So serious as AT First Reported.

Albuquerque. n. NJ, Aug. S.--One per-
son was killed and three or four others
seriously injured by "a wreck on the At
lantc d Pacific railway near Mitchell
a way station l2j miles west of this city,
yesterday afternoon, The man who lost
his life in the wreck was Rev. George
Wheeler, place of residence unknown. The
names of the injured could not be learned
by the officials of the road, as telegraphic
communication with Mitchell is closed to-
night and only meager particulars are oh
tainablc. That more persons were not
killed or injured in the accident is consid-
cred a miracle, for the reports from Mitch
ell are to the effect that the baggage car,
the day coach and tourist sleeper We're
all derailed and sent into the ditch, Tho
first reports 10 reach this city aroused
general alarm, for the telegram, which
came from Coolidge, a small station about
eight miles west of Mitchell, simply gave
notice of the wreck and asked that med
iCal assistance be sent on a special train
at once. This special was made up
as quickly as possible, and with several
doctors aboard IL was sent west at full
speed.

seventy-two years ago.. He went to Califor-
MIA in 1s49 and worked in the gold mines
soveral years with success. Returning to
Portland. Maine, he engaged in the whole
sale hacking business. and amassed for
time. which was swept away in fire. When
the Neal Dow law was put in force in
Maine, Mr.. Henry was half owner of an ale
brewery at Portland. BY the enac tment OF
the Inv he lost large sum. Mr.. Henry was
leader of the old Bethel Church choir at
Portland, when Rev. Mr.. Merrill was its
