CoUNTERFEITERs CAPTURED.
They Made Dollars With the Re

Paris. Tex, Sent. 23.-(SpeciaD. -For
some time United States Marshal Will
liams has been hot on the trail of one
of the largest and worst bands of counter
feiters ever organized in this country.
A half dozen have been arrested and
held by the court here. 1t was only by
the shrewdest work that they were
caught. 1t was impossible to detect their
imposition, for the dollars turned out by
them were perfect in all respects and
made of standard silver. and were per-
feet in stamp. The gang bought silver
bullion and Mexican dollars and moulded
them into American dollars. Marshal
Williams had number of the fraudulent
dollars in his possession, made on the
moulds of the gang. He also has quite
quantity of silver bullion they were
found with. They frankly admitted
that they made the money, but contend
that it was just as good as the silver
dollars made by the government, and
the reason they made them of good sill.
yer was that they made so cents out OF
each of them.

CUTTING FREIGHT RATES.

Chicago, Sept. 23.-The rates received
another black eye today, when the Alton
make a rate of ST. per ton on hard coal
from Chicago to Kansas City. This is
the deepest cut that has been made in
the recent furry in Western rates. The
other roads had cut the rate from $500
to $3.50 and had agreed that the cut
should be kept out of Kansas City. The
Alton has not only gone deeper, but has
put the rate into a territory where none
of the other roads were willing to ex-
tend it. The action of the Alton will
be followed by the other roads. There
is general feeling that the cut rates
and the general situation as well may be
fixed up at the meeting of the general
freight agents, to be held this week, but
the cuts have been for some time extend
ing into all classes of freight and it may
not be as easy to bring about a better
condition of things as some of the lines
may imagine.

dealt in on a smaller scale. The volume

EXTRAORDINARY DIVORCE CASE
Both Parties in Interest Swore They Had
Never Met Before.

'The annals of the divorce courts con-
tain many curious histories" said an
old lawyer to a Post reporter yesterday,
but to me the most remarkable case |
ever heard of was tried in Kings county,
New York, n dozen years ago. Both
parties were prominent in society and for
some time the matter was kept a secret.
Mrs. Martin was young wife, and moth
err of one child, when in 1862 her husband
enlisted in the Union army. She heard
from him at intervals for more than n
year and then followed long period of
silence. Next she received intelligence
of his death. Mrs. Martin donned wild
ow's weeds and while mourning her hus-
bands death, her child died. She then
took up her residence with friends, until
1873, when she received the attentions
of Mr.. Hyde, a well known business
man and a widower with seven children.
The courtship extended over period of
IL months, during which time Mr.. Hyde
mer marriage, and II years after Mar
tins reported death they were married.
Nothing happened to disturb their happi-
ness until about 10 years later. when Mr..
Hyde informed her that Martin was
living in the suburbs of Brooklyn with
a wife and children. Investigation
proved that the man did live in Brook
lyn as stated, and also that he had left
the city in 1862 and entered the army.
"The case came up before the referee,
and there Martin swore that he had never
seen Mrs. Hyde; that he was a single
man when he joined the army: that he
married on his return for the first time
and had since been a resident of Brook
Ign and made no concealment of his mar
riage. When Mrs. Hyde was sworn she
called on God in the most solemn man
ner to witness that she had never seen
Mr.. Martin, and when the two were
confronted with each other neither was
in the slightest manner disconnected and
repeated their denials of ever having met
before.
Former friends and acquaintances of
both, however, swore that they had been
married and were positive of their iden-
| tity. After careful investigation and
long consideration the referee decided
the preponderance of testimony to be
| against the defendant and passed an
| order, which was approved by the Brook
| lyn city court. annulling the marriage
Mrs. Hyde had no children by her second
marriage. Friends volunteered assist
ance to enable her to carry her case to
the supreme court, but she concluded to
abide by the decision of the referee"
