A DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT.
Bogus 500 Silver Certificates are Found
by Treasury Officials.

Washington, Jan. 4.-0ne of the most
dangerous counterfeits ever discovered
has made its appearance. Mr.. John
Cramer, of the sub-treasury at Phila-
delphia, yesterday brought to the secret
service five S1O0 counterfeit silver GER
tificates, head of President Monroe.
Their general appearance is excellent,
and after close examination the Off
cials of the treasury cash room were
undecided as to their genuineness, and
only after the notes had been soaked
in hot water, when the two pieces
forming the front and back of the note
came apart, were they convinced of the
fraud On examination of the days
treasury cash another of the spurious
notes was discovered.
The note is of the series of 1891, check
letter d, Tillman register, Morgan
treasurer, portrait James Monroe. ALI
numbers SO far seen begin with 345.
The most marked differences between
this note and the genuine are found in
the seal and the numbering, the former
being shade lighter than the genuine
and the latter slightly different in
formation.
In view of the dangerous character
of the counterfeit, Secretary Gage has
decided to stop issuing and to call in
all 800 silver certificates, of which
there are about $2G, 900, 900 outstanding.
These will be exchanged for silver GER
tificates of smaller denominations and
the plates destroyed.

AN ILL.EATEp FAMILY.
Six of the Eight Members Thereof Perisl
In Fire at Their Home at Jersey City.

Six of the Eight Members Thereof Perish
In a Fire Mt Their Home atJersey City.
New York, Jan. 3.--Six members of one
family were killed by flames and smoke
in fire that occurred early Sunday
morning in Jersey City. The dead are:
Adolph Reich, ~ years old. the father.
Emma Reich. ~ years old, the mother
Tillie Reich, % years.
Ida Reich, 10 years.
Albert Reich, IA years
Gustave Reich, years.
Several others were injured, and it
may be that another member of the
ill-fated family will die. He is the 19-
year-old son and his body is covered
with burns. John Conway, chief of
the Jersey City fire department, was
very badly burned. He fell through a
burning floor and was rescued with
difficulty. Henry A. Reich, II years
old, managed to escape from the house
with bad burns on the neck, face and
hands, but he is not seriously injured.
Adolph Reich's home was at 317 Ger
mania avenue, in the Hudson City dis
trict. He was real estate agent and
well-to-do, living in house of three
stories. 1t is believed that the fire
broke out from heater in the base
ment and it worked its way to the
third floor, where the sleeping apart
ments of the family were located.
Young Reich ran down the street
and gave the alarm. When he returned
his father was nowhere to be seen, but
one of his brothers, Sigismund, was
there, badly burned. He was taken to
neighboring house, where he said
some one had awakened him and that
he had jumped through the binding
smoke and flames down the staircase
and out into the open air. Several en-
gine companies responded to the alarm
and ten minutes later the fire was out.
Then began the search of the house.
The rays from the firemen's lanterns
disclosed three charred bodies against
the wall at the foot OF the stairs. They
were those of Adolph Reich, his
daughter Tillie and little Gustave. The
father. had fallen upon the daughter
and his son was in his arms. They
were burned almost beyond recogni-
tion. In the basement of the house
the searching party stumbled over the
remains of Ida and Albert two black
ened corpses with arms entwined. Por-
tions of the limbs had been entirely
burned away and the faces were hor.
ribly distorted. The mother was found
in the dining room. She was but
slightly burned. Her face showed nc
look of pain. She undoubtedly died
| from suffocation.

An Appalling Catastrophe at Lon
don, Ont.
The Floor of Building in which Public
Meeting was Being Held CoIIapses
and a Frightful Loss OF Life
Follows.

London, Ont, Jan. 4-Twenty per-
sons were killed and many injured by
the collapse of a floor in the city hall.
Last night closed the municipal cam
paign and the hall was crowded to hear
the successful candidates. At mid
night the bodies of the following had
been taken from the wrecked building:
F. Heaman. C. Beckett, E Luxton, N. Car
rothers R. Leigh - Harris, L. W. Burk,
John Smith, - Talbot, A. Phillips, John Tur-
ner, Ben Nash, j. w. Borland, - Hilburn,
Frank Robinson, James Mclean Oswald
Bruce, John Barridge, B. Jacques and an un-
identified man.
At the close of the polls crowd
gathered in the city hall, where it has
been the custom for years past for the
successful candidates to address the
electors. The building was crowded
to the doors, probably 1900 people
being jammed in it's narrow space.
The audience called for several of the
newly elected aldermen at once, and
r. E. Toothe was pushed forward to
the platform on which the speakers
stood. AS he reached it there was an
ominous cracking and the platform on
which the mayor and aldermen were
seated seemed to pitch forward to the
floor.
There was sagging of timbers and
the next moment 15O people were
hurled 20 feet to the floor below. A
beam running 90 feet along the center
of the hall had given way and the
crowded mass standing above that sec
tion of the floor was thrown in heap
to the bottom. A large safe stood in
one corner of the hall and with q huge
steam coil weighing half ton came
down on the heads of the victims. Fol-
lowing the crash there was wild rush
| for the doors.
At the south door there was terri
BILE panic. Those in front were thrown
down by the oncoming rush, fighting
for the door and safety. Only half of
the rear door, space of probably three
feet, was open and in the mad rush no
one thought to open the door in its en-
tirety and 500 people struggled through
the narrow space, the strong bearing
down the weak. Within moment
after the floor had fallen in there were
not more than three persons in the hall
on that portion of the floor which had
not fallen.
From under the broken beams came
many cries for help. The windows on
the ground floor were broken in and
the living and dead were passed to the
ambulance. An investigation of the
wreck disclosed the fact that whole
section of the floor had dropped, the
joists having been as neatly cut off as
though the work had been done with a
saw. The building is an old one.
LATER-2 a. m.-Twenty-four known
dead is the list at this hour. In addi-
tion to those named already, these are
dead: w. H. Dell, Stephen Williams,
