M'GABNEY AND HIS COIN.
Evidence Which Reveals n Gang of Coun-
terfcitcrs Accumulating.

George McGabney. alias McGabern, and
C. b. McNeal. who We're arrested on Sat
urday night for having counterfeit money
in their possession and upon suspicion of
being counterfelters, We're arraigned before
Commissioner Nuckols yesterday. At the
request of the United States district attor-
ney, their hearing was postponed until to-
morrow morning, and they were again
committed to the county jail, in default of
1900 bail each BY the time they will be
given hearing the deputies Of Marshal
Shelby expect to have proof that will be
sufficient to convict them of not only hav-
ing counterfeit money in their possession,
but of dealing with gang of counterfeit
ers. the members of which will probably
soon be apprehended and also brought to
justice.
1t is known to the officers that McGab-
ney ard McNeal had nearly $1,000 In coun-
terfet gold and silver coin week ago.
It was learned yesterday by one of the
federal officers that McGabney who claims
to be : farmer living in Saline county,
Kas., has not lived there for several months
and that he worked as section hand on
railroad for a couple Of months and in
Armours packing house six weeks. But
little has vet been learned concerning Nc
Neal, but the officers are limiting that they
will be able to show up an unenviable rec
ord for him at the preliminary e&amina-

The Committee Postpones Action Until
Another Day.

The lower house public improvements
committee held lengthy meeting yester-
day morning. The twenty-nine sprink-
ling resolutions were laid over until to-
morrow, after a protracted and, at times,
acrimonious debate in which property own
ers participated. James Anderson was a
protesting property owner who held that
sprnkling tax bills were illegal, and he
objected to shrinking in front of his prop
erty on Locu,t street. EX-Mayor DaVen-
port was before the committee to urge
the passage of the resolutions, especially
that providing for sprinkling Mulberry
street, where Judge Davenport owns prop
erty. President Tiernan, of the board OF
public works, who introduced the resolu-
tons in the upper house, urged their
adoption.
The board also laid over the amended
boiler ordinance providing for the employ
ment of only licensed engineers by owners
OF steam plants. A number of stationary
engineers We're present and urged the APP
proval of the ordinance, as II tended to
crater safety for all concerned.
The ordinance for paving oak street from
Twelfth to Eighteenth with brick was
thrown ont and new ordinance for ma
cadam will be presented, a number of
drawn In favor of macadam.
Peter T. Duffy, representing the Fedora

Mr.. Rogers learned of her being locked

to Mrs. Bollah. She acknowledged the

a British subject, in the hope that she
may thereby escape serious punishment.
The grand jury took UP the case of
Mrs. Bellah the first thing yesterday
when 1t organized. Lem $. Lincoln, who
was forced to pay check for $40 he
indorsed. was the first witness called be-

The county court yesterday settled the
National Water Works Company's bill of
S2i5.S0 for water used at the court house
and Jail in one month. The court was go-
ing TO hold the bill back and investigate
1t, but postal card was re-
ceived on which was printed in plain
red letters n threat to cut the water sup
ply off unless the bill was settled at once.
This brought the county to terms, as i
could not help itself, for the cutting off
of water at the court house and jail meant
untold damage to the expensive machinery
and also great suffering on the part of the
several hundred prisoners in the Jail.

Reyivals Discussed.

Rev Or. T.. Il. Hin, of the Troost Ave-
nue. Methodist church, read a paper on
"Church Work" at the meeting of the
Minister'S Alliance yesterday morning. The
paner discussed very largely the subject of
revivals. While Dr. Hin did not at all
deprecate revivalism and revivals alto
gether. he took the ground that they are
often productive of more evil than good.
There are revivalists and revivalists," he
said The subject was discussed by several
of the minister's present. Rev. Frank ID.
Altman said that though he had had ser
mons preached by city pastors at special
meetings in his church he had never em-
ployed an evangelist, Rev, Dr. Y. T..
Vassar spoke briefly and was followed by
Rev j. l.. Sewall. He gave two illustra-
tions, one showing that revlvals when con-
Quoted by the proper kind of persons are
effective, the other that steady, conscicn-
tious work by "A pastor is Just as ef-
ncient as any revival. Rev. &. l.. klosS
raised a laugh by rcmarking that he had
heard 1t said that reYivals are designed
especially for lazy church members. He
added that too much work Is put upon
pastors altogether, as they are Obliged to
shoulder everything In their congregation,
even to the cases of the measles. Rev DIR.
s. NJ. Neel spoke of sam Jones' methods,
which he said are reprehenslhle in many
