A NEW PAY TRAIN.
Uncle Sam Sends the Soldier Boys Their
Wages by Armed BicycIists.


Wages by Armed Bicyclists.
The Thirteenth United States infan-
try, stationed at Fort Niagara, N. Y,
has made an innovation in its methods
of transporting the monthly remittance
to pay the command from Lewiston to
the post: For years it has been Gus
tomary for the officials in Washington
to forward the necessary amount to
pay the troops to Lewiston, a small
village on the New York Central rail-
road, about seven miles from Niagara
Falls. At this point it was met by a
detail from the post and transported to
headquarters in a large covered wagon
having six seats, and in which the es-
cort rode. But the advent of the BIZ
cycle and its growing popularity have
wrought change which, in army cir
cles, is most notable. A few days ago
when the remittance arrived at Lew
iston it was met at the station by
Lieut.. M. Mcfarland and an escort of
six men, consisting of Sergt. George
Cool, of Company II, Privates Ranch,
Moon, Rose, Gooser, of Company c, and
Suffer, OF Company III. They Travelled
by bicycles and were armed with Colts
Ss-caliber revolvers, securing the money
package, which was placed on Lieut..
McFarland's wheel, and they started on
the return to the fort. The trip was
made in about 35 minutes, and all were
delighted with the new service. The
road from Lewiston to Fort Niagara
runs along one of the most beautiful
portions of the Niagara river. IT is
wooded at points, and the possibility
of escaping to Canada by crossing the
stream might tempt some bold high
waymen to attempt hold-up of the
bicycle party, but they would find thai
the revolvers Of the regulars are carried
for business and that they know how
TO use them effectively.

PAYS FOR HIS FUN.
Annapolis Cadet Sentenced to One
Year for Hazing.
Compelled Another Member of the Acad-
envy to Execute the "Spread Eagle"
and "Quick Step Until Ut
terly Exhausted.

Secretary Herbert has just been noti-
fed of serious case of hazing at the
Annapolis naval academy. Robert
Cherry Foy, cadet from Alabama,
has been sentenced to close confinement
for one year for the offense, and the
sentence has received the approval Of
the navy department. This is the most
severe sentence ever imposed at the
academy for hazing. 1t is expected to
discourage the practice in future. The
offender was a member of the "year-
ling" class, and his victim was a 19-year-
old youth named Prentiss, from west
ern New York. The hazing consisted
of putting Prentiss through the fatigu-
ing exercise known as the spread
eagle" which consists of bobbing up
and down as quickly as possible, keep
ing all the muscles of the legs and body
stiff and bending only the knees. 1t
is an exercise that is given only in
homeopathic doses by the instructors,
q minute being considered sufficiently
fatiguing for any cadet.
Lieut.. Dyer, one of the instructors,
was a quiet spectator of the proceed
ings. He was on the scene for brief
period unobserved and heard Foy lazily
order the "plebe' to vary his perform
ance with the "quickstep." This is ON
equally firing exercise, the man having
to lift his knees alternately and as
quickly as possible to the height of his
waist, like prancing horse. The
strongest man could hardly keep this
up for more than five minutes without
extreme physical fatigue.
When Lieut.. Dyer had seen this con-
tinue for several minutes glance at
the "plebe's" face told him it was time
to interfere. AS he entered the tent
where the hazing was in progress Foy
Fprang to his feet, while the "plebe"
turned toward him and then fall in
o faint to the floor. Water was dashed
in his face, but as he did not revive
he was carried to his quarters for treat
ment. Foy was Immediately placed
under arrest. It was nearly an hour
before Prentiss regained full conscious
ness, and even then he was incohcrent
in his utterances.

THEY. MADE MONEY
BUT NOT THE KIND THAT UNCLE
SAM. WANTS TO USE.
Counterfeit Money and Moulds and Metal
Pound in Ike Browns House
A Gang in Jail.

While Detective Shoaf was on the
trail of a suspected burglar last
night he fell onto bigger game. He
had traced a burglary, which was
committed at the residence of S. Pfeif-
fer, 702 San Pedro avenue, several
weeks ago, in which large amount
of valuable articles We're stolen, TO
Ike Brown, a young man, about "a
years of age, living in a little house
in the mesquite brush, off the Fred
ericksburg road, in the northwestern
part of the city. AS the officer was
searching the house to recover the
come across a lot of counterfeit
money, which he found in a pair of
rubber boots. The counterfeit money
consisted of eighteen fifty-cent pieces.
He also found mould, melting
spoon and some melted babbit and
silver. The mould was made
of plaster paris and bore the impress
sion of a genuine half dollar, dated
1882. The spurious money was very
defective and could be easily de-
tected. The milling was very coarse
and the impression very indistinct.
Ike Brown is a married man. His
wife confessed to the detective that
she begged her husband not to make
the money because it would get him
into trouble. Others arrested We're
George Brown, John Cayney and
Homer Anderson. They are all be-
1ieved to be in the deal
Charges were made in the case
before Acting United States Commits
sioner Enoch Griff Jones for having
in their possession counterfeit money
and moulds.
1t is believed that the arrest of
James HightOwer at San Pedro
Springs Wednesday night led up to
the arrest of these men. Buck Hice
says he received a counterfeit half
dollar that same day. and decided to
LAY" for the next one. When High
tower came up with a half dollar he
wanted changed, Buck took it and
examined it. 1t was dated 1892, and
was counterfeit. The supposition
is that Hightower was in cahoots
with the gang. Among those who
helped work up the case were Officers
Gravis and Lacey and ex-Officer Muir
ply.
City Marshal Druse has received
counterfeit coins which were passed
in several business places the past
few days.

day fled in the Third district court by
James Johnston. The complaint sets
forth that on June 20, 1891. plaintiff
loaned the defendants $1,000. Rea and
Schenck were then owners of an elev-
en-sixteenth interest in the Dalton and
Lark mine, and the money, it is al
legged, was loaned to enable them to
dispose of the claim. The contract,
made a part of the complaint, shows
that provided the claim was sold
within a year the money realized
therefrom Of sufficient amount should
go to settle with Johnston, but when
the year was up the claim remained
unsold, and a four months extension
of time was granted. Before the ex-
piration of this time defendants sold
