was a check for $4,000. Within the

THE LITTLE FISHER GIRLS
Pincus VS.. Pincus Continued Until
Feb. 20 Judge McHatton's
Trial Jury Disoharged-Case
for This Afternoon.

Frank Puddington. who was arrested
at Lima while attempting to leave the
state, was brought back yesterday by
Deputy Sheriff Geary and was arra4gn-
ed last evening on the charge of at
tempting to defraud creditors. AS he
had no attorney, the case was coptin-
ued. Pudd.ngton had a ticket to New
York, but only $3.50 in cash when ar
rested. He wore handsome fur over
coat, which he refuses to take off for
fear some one will attach II. and he is
wearing 1t in jail.
The two little Fisher girls have been
placed in the custody of the sheriff, and
the officers are in a quandary, the ques-
ton being what to do with them, but
1t is probable they will be sent to the
reform school.
The case of Bertha Pincus against
Adolph Pincus, a suit over some money
received from cigar business that had
been conducted in the defendants name
but which the plaintiff claimed belong
ed to her. had been set for trial in
Judge MoHatton's court yesterday, but
was continued until Feb. 20 on the de-
PENDANTS application, because his at
torney was out of town.
AS yesterday was the last day of the
present session, Judge Mediation dis
charged his trial jury and adjourned
until O'Clock this afternoon, when the
following matters will be heard

M Tor Andres Will.

A curiosity hunter has been looking for
interesting Wills i'm the surrogates office
in New York city. The most famous will
is that of John Andre. the British army
spy. who was hanged by General Wash
inton's orders in 1850. IL was made in
June. l7s. when Andre was a captain in
the Twentieth Infantry. He bequeathed
$50 to his mother and each of his uncles.
who were made executors. Seven hundred
pounds were given to each OF his sisters
and brothers. on condition that each con-
tribute el0 a year to the support of his
mother. The FIRST right OF inspection of
his papers was given TO HIS friend. Peter
BOissief of the Eleventh dragons. The
will was admitted TO probate soon after
Andres death. Another notable historical
document recorded in the record room OF
the surrogate's ONCE Is the will OF Alex
ander Hamilton. made on July .. 1904. two
days before his fatal duel with Aaron

MILLIONS IN COUNTERFEIT.
Large Quantities of Spurious stun Passr'
In New York Daily.

In New York Daily.
From the New York World.
The making and passing of small coun-
terfeit coins is said to be an industry al
most entirely confined to the Italians.
Indeed. the racial aspect is one of the
most interesting features of counterfeit
ing While the Italian is content with
the small profits resulting from "shov-
ing" spurious nickels, dimes and quar-
tiers. the American counterfeiter devotes
his talents to producing bank notes of the
larger denominations. Sweating" gold
is the favorite scheme OF the patient. ,n-
dustrious Russian, who keeps his large
family of children employed in this slow
but sure method OF defrauding the gov
eminent. To the ingenious Frenchman we
are indebted for the cunning glass dollar.
which has deceived even the most expert.
The Bowery crook still depends on the
confederate bill as a means of turning an
honest penny, and the police reports
would go to show that this old swindle Is
not too threadbare to catch its victim.
The Italians have been always the most
persistent showers of the queer" and.
while the individual amounts have been
small. the profits in the aggregate foot
up large sums every year. Probably the
greater part of this spurious coin is pass
ed by the push-cart men, whose calling
gives them great facilities for getting rid
OF IL with little danger of detection. The
victims are mostly persons hurrying
homeward to the ferries at dusk who
stop TO purchase fruit from the carts that
line the cutters of certain streets during
the rush hours.
IL the peddler is disposed to be dishon-
est he can swindle with the greatest ease.
for everything is in his favor. The Gus
toner is in hurry and seldom more than
glances at his change. AS IL Is counted
out piece by piece into his open hand he
can see that the amount is correct. but
there is no tell-tale ring as II the money
had been put down on a counter. In the
dim light. which the peddler's torch
makes more uncertain. there is little
chance 20 detect the counterfeit coin. Not
until he has reached the ferry does he
find out that he has been swindled and
then II is too late. for the push-cart men
are constantly on the move.

Anent Dempsfy's Release.

Pittsburg, Jan. 3L-Hugh Dempsey,
ex-district master workman of the
knights of Labor, sentenced to the
penitentiary three years ago for COM
plicity in poisoning non-union men at
Homestead steel works after the great
strike of 1892, was released at 10 o'clock
to-day, the pardon being received in
the morning mail. Dempsey was pale
and a trifie thinner but his health was
good and he was overjoyed. Following
close upon Dempsey's release comes the
startling story printed in the CONNER
cial Gazette that nearly 80 persons died
from the effects of the alleged poison
ing at Homestead.

I.rads.reet,s iscnnrt.

New York, Jan. 31.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say: The features of the
week are the continued retarded de-
mand for merchandise and checked in
dustrial operations. The least satisfac-
tory is the waiting attitude of some OF
the more important industries. Shoe
factories at Philadelphia are shutting
down, or running on part time; cotton
goods makers regard the outlook un-
promising; there is a reaction in the
price of steel billets; among so pig
iron furnaces in the Pittsburg and
Shenago districts IA are idle, and the
position of wooden goods manufacture
ers is shown by the fact that foreign
goods are relatively most active. The
general trade at the close of January
proves disappointing, particularly in
the central, western and northwestern
states, where the movement of mer-
chandise from jobbers has been slow
and unsatisfactory. it being only fair
at q few points.

New York, Jan. 31.-R. G.. Dun &

waiting there are signs of definite i'm
provement. 1t is believed that the hrSt
payment for bonds will cause no fur
Their pressure, and the money markets
are easier as respects loans on col
lateral. though the difficulty of max
ing commercial loans still checks oper-
atoms. Merchants and bankers report
that the signs promise a good spring
trade. No increase appears as yet In
the demand for the principal products
unless for some forms of iron and steel.
in which good contracts have been
made this week, and the uncertainty
as to congressional action still affects
Industries and commerce, but the In
crease In inquiry and the reports of
dealers are deemed assurances Of
large trade coming whenever the un-
certainty is over.
Signs of Improvement in the iron and
steel business are gratifying, even
though they spring from combinations
which have raised the price OF coke
and allotted the output of lake iron ore.
There is also a better demand for wire
nails, and also for sheets Pig iron is
weaker. the southern works competing
sharply, while speculative buyers Of
some months ago are selling below
present furnace prices, but the aver
age fall products is practically un-
changed and ia per cent below the
highest last year. Coke production
has again been cut down 1895 tons in
a single week. Minor metals are
strengthened a shade by speculation
Sales of wool at the three chief mar
kets have diminished of late, manu-
facturers buying only for present
