HAMILTON, Ont, April 1.-THE person
who is supposed TO have sent out the coun-
terfeit United States postage stamps, as
announced in dispatch from Chicago
yesterday, came here several weeks ago

He is about 80 years OF age, He said bis
business was buying and selling bank

shop on King William street and opened
the Canadian Novelty and Supply com
pany. He engaged Mrs. Mack as clerk.
Next day he departed, saying that he was
going to Toronto to establish q branch
there. On April Mrs. Mack got instruc-
tlons by letter to send an advertisement
to different papers Offering Sis worth OF
United States two-cent stamps for sale

rison got the stamps in payment for goods.
Under his instructions she sent away
seven closely sealed express packages, all
addressed to different people in Chicago.
Since that time she has received letter
from Buffalo signed by Morrison, instruct
ing her to pay all money she had belong
ing to him to n man who would identify

Looks Gloomy for Ohio MIners.

MAssILLoN, o., April IL President
Ratchford, of the Ohio Miners association,
says the outlook is so gloomy that 1t is
impossible to predict from one days end
to another just what Is going to happen.
"The Ohio operators" Mr.. Ratchford
says "are disposed to deal fairly with the
miners and will pay any price within rea-
son, whether 1t is sixty cents or more, il
they can secure such conditions as will en-
able them to compete for business. For
years it was the rule to pay thirteen cents
more for coal in western Pennsylvania
than in Ohio, and this continued until
1887, when, because of the introduction of
natural gasand for other reasons the diff
ferential was reduced to nine cents, Now
these same operators in Pennsylvania pro-
pose to pay sixty cents, which is the pre-
sent scale rate In Ohio. The contest can
only result il. grinding down the wages of
the already uuderpaid miners.
