AN EXPERT
COUNTERFEITER,
Cincinnati ENQUIRER

Cincinnati Enquirer.
One cf.the finest specimens
OF a raised bill ever seen al
the local United States treas.
ury was received at that de-
Posltory yesterday. The bill
was received in a deposit Of
several hundred dollars sen,
over by a Covington bank.
he bill has been handled by
experts, and yet despite this ii
passed current without doubt
Tor some time. The cashier Of
the bank from which the mon
ey was sent took the bill for
a genuine one, and sent it
ever to the zsub-treasury for
its face value. When it reach
ed. Teller White, however, he
readily detected it, and at once
notified the bank of the fact.
and OF course that institution
made the amount good.
The spurious bill was one
raised from a two-dollar Win
dom certificate to a ten-dollar
bill. Almost every detail of
the work was so well executed
that it would go through hum
dreds Of lands and escape de-
lection. Wherever the word
or MINERAL two" appeared on
the genuine it was obliterated
in some manner, and in the
place of the numeral or figures
those Of TIE higher denomi-
nation were substituted. 1t is
believed that either acid or
some fine instrument were
used in erasing the original
figures and wording. A secret
service agent was notified, and
an effort viii be made to find
OUT if many ofthem are in cir
culaton.

ELEC TRIO ROADS

Electric locomotion is gain
ing ground in Europe, though
by no means as rapidly as in
the United States, and in all
Europe at the close of 1895
there were but III electric
roads, having a total mileage
of 500. Thomas Ewing Moore,
United States Commercial
Agent at Weimar, Germany, in
"a report says that Germany
stands foremost in Europe in
electric railway construction,
with 252 miles, almost half of
tbs total in Europe. France
has eighty-two miles, Great
Britain and Ireland sixty six
Austria coming next with forty
tour. But twelve of the III
lines are underground trolleys
and eight accumulators.

An Interesting Incident.

Last month, Mrs. E. r. Bingham, of this
community. had restored to her gold medal
which had been out Of her possession for %
years, and the way in which it was lost and
found is worth the telling. While pupi
at the Virginia Female Institute at Stann-
ton before the war, Mrs. Bingham (who was
then Miss Malinda Caperton), was awarded
. handsome gold medal for general deport-
ment. In 1854, when Crooks Federal COM
mand retreated through Monroe. among
other vandalisms committed here at Union
his troopers looted "Elmwood," the beauti-
full home OF Mrs. Bingham's father. the late
Senator Allen T. Caperton, and this treas
ured moment0 Of her girlish trinmphs was
stolen. Nothing was heard of the missing
medal until month or so ago, when Mrs.
Bingham, who is now the wife of the Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court Of the District
of Columbia, received letter from Col.
Robert White. of Wheeling, describing the
medal and offering to secure its return to
her. 1t was then in the possession Of an ex-
Federal soldier residing in Wheeling who
had bought it from one of Crooks men %
years ago with canteen of .whiskey. The
kind Offices of Col White were accepted and
through his exertions the medal was soon
restored to its rightful owner, who still
makes her home here and was then occupy
ing the same mansion from which it was
stolen nearly quarter of a century ago.

Queer Case.

A very queer case was disposed of yesterday
in the United States court 1t was that of
John G. Heusley, resident of this State, IS
miles from Chicago. Mr.. Hensley is a man
u years of age, of good character. and in
quite a comfortable position financially.
About years ago he imagined he was John
H. Steele, q Mexican soldier, and made ap-
plication for pension. Mr.. Steele was a
neighbor of Hensley in Virginia oyer IS years
ago and had not seen him from that time up
to the hour of his death.
Hensley had vision" and could not tell
why he had applied for pension. The dead
mans brother asked for mercy at the hands
of the court and it was granted. Hensley was
given three years in the penitentiary, but
sentence was suspended and the visionary old
man, was ordered to go home. A collection
was undertaken in the court 30 that the rail-
road fare of the old man could be paid, but
what was the astonishment of the court when
$40 was found in the lining of his clothes,
which had been placed there by his daughter
and son before leaving home.-Cairo Qll.)
Daily People. Oct. %.
Mr.. Steele's plea to the judge was what
saved the prisoner from the penitentiary but
it looks to the outsider that Mr.. Hensley was
not as crazy as he seemed After Mr. Steele
had testified he went to Auxvasse, Missouri,
to visit relatives, where he will remain Tor
some months. Mr.. VIM. E. Skeen who was
also witness has returned home.

LIye Stock Fair.

The price of admission to the Fair has been
reduced to Csc. At this price every one should
give an earnest support to the management
of the association, which has expended so
much time and energy in getting up this
fine exhibition for the people. There are a
larger number of first class race horses on the
grounds than at any previous fair. The stock
exhibit is good. Augusta county is splendid
ly represented, and in the sheep and swine
department cannot be excelled. In the cattle
department fine herd of Herefords from
Maryland is well worth the price of admission
to any one to see them. In the amusement
and entertainment line there is no end to the
attractions, the place is filled with them.
Live alligators from Florida are to be seen,
and the Southern Exhibit, while small, is
unique and unusual in this section. There
will be all the racing the weather will per-
NIT, and the full program will be carried out
if within the range of possibilitiee
Three days yet remain, and the manage
ment trusts that the people will give gener-
GUS support to the effort they have made to
provide fine exhibit and place of amuse-
ment for the people.

The CADETS at Nashville.

DR.. Ben Blackford who accompanied the
M. I. cadets to Nashville, returned home
on Saturday last. He says that there never
were more plaudits for Virginia than were
received during this period by this magnifi-
cent body of young men, and that their ac-
ton and bearing were superb from start to
finish They were received with open arms
everywhere, they were lionized at every
point, and their drilling soldierly and
gentlemanly bearing could not have been ex-
celled. They were given magnificent train
by the c. & o., and their trip to and fro was
pleasant and comfortable. at Nashville they
were the cynosure of all eyes. wherever they
went, and of course as they appeared on dress
parade, but especially SO when they took the
position of Picketts Division in the mimi
battle of Gettysburg, which was enacted
there. They thrilled the hearts of old sol
diers, army officers and the audience present,
and the multitude shouted their approval till
it seemed to drown the roar of the battle. On
their return they were handsomely enter
tanned at the Gait House by Louisville people,
and were feted and honored to degree that
makes proud tlss 7cul Of q Virginian.
