Den of COunterfeiting Gang
Discovered.
Complete Outfit for Making
Bogus Money Found.
Relics of Murders and Other Crimes
Brought TO Light.

BRISTOL, Ind, April 9.-Two deputy
United States Msrshals are taking turns
at watching a lonely island in 81.
J0seph's river In the Northwestern part
OF Elkhart county, on which subter-
ranean counterfeiter's den has been dis
covered. The cave was accidentally dis
covered few days ago by two boys VINO,
while boating on the river, landed on
the island. The subterranean chamber
is about % feet square and l6 feet hlgh.
1t was well stored with small saplings
and plaDks. A door on either SIDE
opened into two smaller looms. I'M
mediatey under hollow stump was a
sort of furnace, which got Its draft
through the entrance way.
Double hunks for eight persons were
against one side OF the room ana on
table were dishes and cooking utensils.
Again st the other side was large work
bench and underneath 1t in chest was
complete set OF counterfelter' tools. In
a cupboard were found piles of spurious
gold and silver coins in all states OF
preparation. Eagles and half eagles and
silver dollars were the principal denomi-
nations manufactured.
The coins represented a face value OF
little more than $4,000.

evidently one of men of genius. The pro-
cess of manufacture was to cast the
metal, then plate 1t with genuine silver
or gold ana afterward to run 1t through
the lies and milling machinery to give IT
the clear cut angle which marks good
money. There was found in the cave the
pocket book of William Crumpacker, a
wealthy man living near Bristol, who
was murdered about year ago. His
murderers have never been discovered.
Among the other articles found was a
package of papers which have been iden-
titled by Albert Salisbu ex-postmaster
OF Brjstol,as papers that were stolen from
the postoffice.
As soon as the discovery was made, the
representatives of the United States at
Grand Rapids were notified, also the
secret agent OF the treasury de-
partment at Indianapolis. Two repre-
sentatives of the Indiana police Office
were sent here Immediately to watch the
cave day and night, but news OF the dis
covery could not be kept and the MEM
bers OF the gang have not appeared.
For the last 18 months the agents OF
the treasury department in Indiana and
Michigan have co-operated in an effort TO
discover where counterfeit money, that
was constantly being put in circulation
in the southern part OF Michigan and
the northern part OF Indiana, was being
made.

Providence Diamond Digging.

Diamond digging is a favorite pastime
in Providence these days. as any ybooy can
see who will take the pains to visit the
ruins OF the Masonic Temple on Pine
street Along the Eddy side, especially,
knots OF men and boys will be found on
bonded knees, carefully scraping over the
dirt side of the foundation with a nail or
a piece OF stick. Now and then one will
find brilliant emerald or gold stone
which was part OF Allen n Jonassohn's
stock, but which like most OF the other
contents OF the buildic g are now worth
less. The occupation serves TO keep the
diggers out OF mischief, however. and
lucky find satisfies them for their trou ble.

At 430 O'Clock this morning. John Gum.

Brewing Company. discovered fire In the
tower OF the condensing room OF the brewery
and at onoe sent in an slarm from box a.
When the department. arrived IL was thought
the immense structure was doomed, and Ms
soon as the box had done sending out the first
alarm, Chief steere sent in the cautionary
four blows. followed by a second alarm.
Up to this time the flames were kissing
through the lattice work of the tower. but
whom q few of the companies got to work tho
fire was soon under control, and an investiga-
tion showed there was no further danger,
unless the fire got into the wood work of the
main portion OF the building, and fortunately
il did not.
The condensing room is located on the west
end Of the north side Of the building, ard
with the exception OF tho tower, which might
be more properly called the vsntilator. IL Is
absolutely fire proof. but just now this caught
on fire is not known. The night watchmsn
says be saw the fire while he was in the court
outside, and that the fire was on the upper
most part Of the tower. After the Ere had
been extinguished, 10 was found that the
flames had destroyed little office used by
the assistant brewer. and this Office was ad-
joining the tower. IL Is thought that this is
where the fire originated. The watchman
says that he was in this Office short time
before he saw the fire, and at that time there
was no sign Of FIRE.
just what the loss will be is hard to esti-
mate. as Mr.. Hanley. the proprietor. says
that he cannot tell what damage has been
done the stock in the process. but the damage
to the building will not exceed Sl0O. In the
condensing room is the ice machine. which
was not damaged to any great extent. In
fact no part of the machinery was damaged to
an extent that will cause more than day OF

NEW BANKING BILL.
Permits Organization of Banks With
100000 Capital.


WAsHINoroN, April Representative
Van Voorhis, Of Ohio, has reported to
the House from the Banking and Cur
rency committee, bill to permit the
organization of national banks with a
capital of not less than $40, COO in cities of
1000 inhabitants. Under existing law the
minimum capital stock required for the
organization of a national bank is $50, 600.
In some sections of the country, says an
accompanying report, there has been a
growing need for bank issues as well as
for other banking accommodations in
small towns in which $50, 600 cannot read
lily be raised for banking purposes. The
inequality in tue distribution of national
banks, the report continues, is one of
the marked features of our national
banking system. In the Eastern and
Middle states, banks are abundant and
in those sections this measure will not be
availed of 10 any considerable extent.
But In the Western and Southern states,
there is dearth of banks in many Sec
tions cue no doubt to the lack of capital
In those sections.

Ira Wins0r's Experience With
Fitting Tenants.
Black Eye Painting Industry is Very
Dull at Present.

II Is we'll known that the average
woman, when a seat is given up to her
IN a street car, settles herself into 1t
without the merest suspicion of an ac-
acknowledgement of the courtesy extended.
Indeed so general is this the practice that
a gentleman who thus discommodes him
self never dreams OF recognition of his
courtesy and when such is accorded Is
about as much surprised as he would be II
Alderman Nichols gave up making cotton
seed oil. However, street car amenities
are one thing and the restoration OF prop
erty that has been lost quite another. In
the latter case IL would seem that woman
is sometimes quite as averse To making
acknowledgment OF a service or courtesy
as when seat Is given up TO her in pub

mourning" is generally willing to settle
handsomely for the service OF an artist

and obliterate the crying evidence OF his
revel. As has been said, the gentleman,
whom the Gossiper met has derived
tidy income from those who unlike the
rough or plugugly who glory in such
adornments could not sacrifice their self
respect by exposing themselves with
decorated orbs. But today the artistic
obliterator of decorated eyes was down
