Trading IL Courterse,ts.

h police of Paris recently discovered
a regularly organized market place for
the sale of spurious coins of France. IL
was extensively ~patronized by walters.
who lay in a supply Of the false coins
to work them off on tourists. The large
stock of false COINS seized We're found to
be of a quality superior to that generally
uttered by 4counterfeiters. The idea
seemed to be to safely insure small
profits. For instance. a lot of five-franc
pieces were found to nave an almost bull
lion valu of three francs each. They
were sold to the waiter customers for
four francs each, thus allowing the dis
honest purchaser a clear profit of one
franc.
Few people look closely at a franc
piece, and a very bad imitation can be
successfully uttered in four cases out of
five. The average price paid ct this ex-
change for frame pieces was twenty-five
centimes, or two and a half cents Euro
pean continental walters are past masters
in the art of passing counterfeit or de-
monetized coins, foreigners being their
victims.

THROWN UNDER WHEELS
Bieyelist Lehman Collides With
a Horse and Narrowly
Escapes Death.

There was another bicycle accident on
Garfield avenue yesterday morning, when
the rider, Charles Lehman, of No. 1,001
Boulevard, Greenville, collided with the
wagon of the Adam Turke's Co. Of New
ark. 1t is a miracle that Lehman was
rot killed outright.
The accident occurred about half-past
ten when lehman was riding along Car
field avenue in the direction of Bergen
Point. When he neared the Lehigh Val
ley Bridge just his side OF Bayonne, the
driver of a bakery & which was
standing in front Of a grocery store on
the left side of the road, started his
horses right in front of Lehman. The
wheelman was going very fast at the
time, and could not stop in time to pre-
vent running into the wagon. His BIZ
cycle struck the leg of one of the horses
n Lehman was thrown against the
front wheel of the wagon. The force of
the collision threw him under the rear
wheel. Recovering himself, he quickly
crawled out from under the wheel just
in time to prevent it running over his
head. The driver seeing what he had
done whipped up his horses and tried to
escape.

CRUEL HUDSON.

IFrom This Mornings s~aTribune."1
The DAILY boom seems to be marching at
a great rate in the hay-growing sections
of the State. The New York papers say
that Bob Davis is agin the e~loquential
Senator from Hoboken. but he does not
care; he is sure of the nomination through
the backing of the farmers.
Perhaps the Senator thinks that "Hud-
son be damned is still a good battle-cry
in the politics of the State. Perhaps he
is right. too. He certainly would lave a
cinch on the nomination II it were to be
made next month
There is an odd Misrepresentation, it
would seem, however, in the minds of
Senator Daily and the rest of the people.
The election for Governor is to be next
year, not this.-eJersey City News
tDem.).
Hudson is not making nue. of a show
ing in this great popular movement for
DAILY. While the free-Silver ruralists and
their wives and children gladly travel
miles to look upon his face and listen to
the u~nquenchable fire of words that is
sues from his mouth, the Hudson cohorts
stand idly by with sarcastic smiles upon
their faces. Why they should be envious
or Jealous of their matchless champion is
a problem for Psychologists to work upon.
but they might as well know now as at
any other time thai bill" is going to be
Governor anyhow. whether they like it
or not. And If Hudson folk don't come
to their senses pretty soon Bill may
punish them by. moving from Hoboken to
HohCkrS.

CAPE MAY, Aug. p, 1s97-Two daring
feetpads held up Assen1biyn1an Robert e.
Hand as he was driving homeward with
his wife on the Sumneytown road at
midnight last night. The road is dark
and lonely and little travelled after night
fall, so tina the attack must nave been
carefully planned. The Assemblyman's
carriage had reached one Of the darkest
points OF the road when his horse was
suddenly stopped. At the same instant
a dark lantern flashed in his face and a
muffled voice ordered him to hand over
his cash.
Mr.. Hand is a big, broad sisouldered
man who is not easily scared, and q dozen
fcotpads would hardly have ruffled his
hair. He eoolly Informed the fellow with
the lantern that he had been In politics
too long to be bulldozed and the only
valuable thing he had about him was
State Senatorial boom. This he pro-
posed to keep at whatever cost and was
ready to fight for i. The footpads par
d moment decided tina they pre-
ferred not to fight and took to their heels.

Engineer Brands, 1.-The ~ wat runs

Hail." but who has nothing to do with
the innunerable wheels on the floors

him this morning by Mayor Edward
Hoos. His Honor, having run out of
letters to the Finance Board for the pres
ent, thought he would descend to the
regions below and see what the engineer
was doing. That worthy had sent in a
requisition for a new set of fire CRATES,
to cost 1852. Since w. w. Farrier & Co.,
only two years ago, put in a brand new
set in the boilers furnished by the Hi
berno-Italian firm of Mulhearn d Patti,
of New York, the Mayor wanted to know,
you know, and SO down stairs ne tripped.
Brands pointed out the broken CRATES and
urged the necessity of having a new set.
Dear me- said the Mayor, pointing to
the brasswork on the engines and boil
ers, how dirty those are. Have they
never been cleane since they have been
put in? 1 have noticed. on the steam
boats crossing the river, that the brass
work is highly polished. Why can't this
be also ?"
Brands muttered something about the
oA PCiiSliAiiS Liza hlAid vi
but the excuse didn't go. The Mayor
said elbow grease was the most effective
lubricant and limited that the sooner it
was done the better.
What is that water doing there?'' was
the next question from the Mayor, who
was eyeing a pool near the engines.
THAT'S a leak said Brands.

The annual picnic of the German Ameri-

be a complete and very enjoyable sue
cess.

pavilion. The line of march was to
Franklin street. to Sherman avenue. to

Soon after their arrival the fun began.
There were games of all sorts for prizes
bag race, egg race, etc.
AT seven o'clock intermission was held
and many of the younger scholars de-
parted. and later in the evening the pa
vilion soon filled with children of older
growth who danced to the enticing
strains of an excellent orchestra.
The floor was managed by Mr.. George
ReichhelIn. assisted by Mr.. Harry Schaa-
burg. The affair was much enjoyed by all
who participated.

oRUElTIEs on THE CONGO.
Reports of fbe Action Ina b EN-
pIeF Of the British.

A little incident fun of painful interest
took place yesterday afternoon in one of
the rooms at St Martins Town Hall. tt
was convened by the Aborigines Protec-
ton Society to hear statements by two
gentlemen as to the erAelties perpetrated
on natives in the Congo Free State.
Sir Charles Dixie, NJ. p, presided. The
question arose whether it would be safe to
allow the proceedings to be reported in the
newspapers. Gentlemen present testified
hat every missionary who made incon-
venient revelations in this country was
certain to die if he returned to the Congo.
He would either succumb to the fever"
(Which means being poisoned, or he
would be killed by native ~assassins.
Ultimately a resolution was passed re-
auesting the reporters to omit the names
of the principal speakers. Their MARIA
tives were h-eartrending. The authorities.
it appears, have native soldiers in their
service. and these native soldiers make
war on the other natives. who, after a
battle" (Which is merely a massacre), are
subjected to an indemnity. which causes
them to lose their goods. some chiefs be-
ing driven to the necessity of baFtering
wives. INSCRIPTIONS officers of the
administration are set as s~entinels in the
conquered villages, whose Inhabitants are
sent afield to gather india rubber. This
work involves great hardship, especially
as the officials are never satisfied with the
quantity brought in.
This dissatisfaction is Invariably ex-
pressed in the same way according to
witnesses at yesterdays meeting. Several
natives are shot and their right hands are
cut off, sometimes before they, are dead.
These right hands are smoked, in order
that they shat keep and are sent away
on the baskets of india rubber as an as
surance to the superior officer that his
subordinates, it was aid. had been told
the more smoked hands they dispatch
the shorter will be their terms of service.
and outrages constantly take
place apart from the question of the sup
ply Of india rubber. but the cutting off of
the light hand appears to be the, favorite
form OF atrocity. One speaker testified
that he had seen a baby, who, although
he had but a bloody stump where his
RIGHT hand had been, was still alive, and
was clinging to the bosom of his murdered
mother.-London News.
