teatrOaG Coaches WALL Ee Whisked Along

P1TTsBuRe, Pa, Aug. Wv. D. Up
degraff. private secretary to George
Westinghouse, jr., in explaining
the scope OF utilization of in
terests of the Westinghouse Electric
company and the Baldwin Locomo-
tive company, said: 1.-The combi-
nation is to develop the possibilities
of the Tesla motor as applied to rail
way service. We intend to make it
possible to ride from New York to
Pittsburg in three hours. With the
Tesla motor we are assured power to
draw a car at the rate of $50 miles, or
more. The only thing now is to get
cars and a wheels that will stand
the strain Of travelling at the rate of
speed. The Baldwin people assure us
that this can be done. We now have
the system working at our plant at
East Pittsburg.
The only trouble is to get a car
that will remain on the track. We
believe with this union of interests
we will be able to perfect the electric
railway system, and / can assure you
that by the year 1900, or possibly
sooner, the line will be in operation
between Pittsburg and New York.
The present railway tracks cannot be
used. We want air lines. The cars
will be very light and on the principle
of air lines

COUNTERFElTERS CAUGHT
Four Of the Nest Expert Gang in the
Country Ar. ested.

Country Ar. ested.
New YORK, Aug. The expert
counterfeiters who, for two years
past, have been engraving and print
ing $500 and 500 United States gold
certificates and flooding Canada
with notes OF smaller denominations,
have been discovered by secret SER
vice detectives and four Of the gang
OF FIVE are now locked up in Jersey
City. The fifth member, the hacker,
was arrested but escaped. Brockway,
the most expert forger and counter
feiter in this country, is probably the
principal. The man who supplied the
funds for the plant was DR.. O. e.
Bradford, who has heretofore man
aged to escape suspicion. Libbie
Smith, a cousin Of Bradford; Sidney
Smith, the engraver of the party, who
is said to be- Libbie's husband, and
William s. Wagner, are the others.
The plates and paper captured by the
detectives show this to be the most
skillful gang that has operated in this
country for years.
Besides valuable plates for both the
United States and Canadian notes
100000 in currency, with the reverse
side all printed, was discovered. A
sufficient amount of fiber paper to
print $500, 600 more of Canadian money
was also located. Smith. the engraver,
was not found until late last night. He
is the son of a noted counterfeiter,
Charles E. Smith. Counterfeit Can
adam money vas found on each one of
the four arrested and the secret service
officers say they have a clear case that
they have been making and uttering
counterfeit gold certificates of the de-
nominations of $500 and 81, 900.

Fatal Runaw ay.

Last week at Barnet Center there
was fatal runaway accident. Miss
Nellie Gibson was driving from Milo
McLaren's down hill, when the hip
strap broke, letting the breeching down.
Miss Gibson sprang from the cAfriage,
with the idea of catching the horse by
the head and preventing a runaway,
but in jumping she sprained both
ankles and fell helpless to the ground.
Her companions were Mrs. Agnes Cur
It's, aged over 60, and Mrs. Holmes,
aged about 10. With these two left in
the carriage, the horse ran on down to
the foot of the hill, where both ladies
were thrown ont. Mrs. Holmes was
thrown clear over the fence onto a
mass of brush, and had an arm broken
both below and above the elbow, a
shoulder put out of joint and leg
broken. Mrs. Curtis was thrown on
to the side of the road where brush
had recently been cut, and received an
ugly wound on the side Of the nose
and about her eye in striking on the
stubble, besides having one leg broken.
Mrs. Holmes has since died of her
injuries.
