TRAIL GROWING Warmer
Belief Expressed That the New
Silver Certificate Was Manu-.
factured in Delaware.
SECRET SERVICE MEN AT WORK
Detective Shartzer Expects to Capture
Remainder Of the Gang That
Have Been Operating and
Making the Spurious
Notes Here.
SECRET SERVICE MEN AT WORK

| Notwithstanding the fact that two Q
the gang OF Delaware counterfeiters hav,
been captured and incarcerated in Tren
ton penitentiary bv order of the Court O
Delaware, bad money still continues tt
circulate in this State.
Before, the bogus money in circulation
was silver and mostly quarters. Some O
the stuff was found on the two Italian
captured. This time it is $40 silver Ger
ti6cates and exceptionally cleverly exc
cuted.
The tools for making the spurious
quarters were found at Dover and arc
now in the possession of the local au
thorities.
The Sun as far back as last June pub
lished the fact exclusively that there wa
a well organized and active gang of coun
terfeiters in operation in Delaware.
The assertion was looked at in tht
light of fake story, but the capture
and conviction of Giuseppe Speiciallis
and Michael Costello has convinced the
reading community of Delaware tina,
The Sun was wide awake.
The men captured at Dover were rur
down as a result of the expose by Detec
tives John Shartzer and Parker and
Special Detective Walls.
These counterfeit $40 silver certificates
are supposed to be the production ol
this same gang and Marshal Short is
working on the case.
Detective Shartzer is also on the trail
OF counterfeiters and his task OF running
the men to the end of their rope is made
much easier on account of the evidence
he secured in the successful capture ol
the two Italians.
As stated before the silver certificate in
qeestion is clever piece of work and
Can only be detected by an expert on
paper money. The description Of it is
as follows:
The face of the note is nearly three
eighths OF m inch shorter than the
genuine and full eighth OF an inch mar
rover. The panel in which the portrait
appears is full eighth of an inch mar
rover in the counterfeit than in the
genuine. The shading in small perpen-
dicular lines under the ornamental scroll
forming the bottom of the panel sur
rounding the portrait has been omitted
altogether. The words Bureau of En-
craving and Printing" in the lower left
corner, are omitted. The portrait of
Hendricks is poor, the shaded lines run
ming in one direction only. The panel
in which the word "Hendricks'' under
the portrait appears is rounded at
the ends, instead Of being square, as it
should be. The lettering is poor and
unevan,
Marshall Short, when seen last night,
said that it was thought that the gang of
counterfeiters had their headquarters in
this State, but was reticent as to the
locality occupied by them for the manu-
facture of the spurious money.
Detective Shartzer is working on the
case alone and expects great results in a
few days.

TWENTY YEARS A PASTOR.
Rev. A. N. Keigwin Holds Anniversary
Exercises at the West Presby.
terian Church,

Rev. A. N. Keigwin, D. D., completed
his twentyteth year as pastor of the West
Presbyterian Church yesterday and de.
livered an interesting historical sermon
in the morning.
His text was Genesis 81; 3S, "Thnse
twenty years have l been with thee"
He stated that during his pastorate S9l
members were added and during the
thirty years the congregation has been
in existence, l34l members were placed
on the rolls.
The church debt was $25, 200 when he
entered upon the pastorate. He reduced
it and built and addition to the church
and the debt is now but $1,000. The
Sunday School has been making an
effort recently to reduce the debt and
have raised 81 900 which would leave
the debt $1,000. During his pastorate,
$l7,795 was raised for benevolence and
$l16,9OO for congregational expenses.
When Rev. DR.: Keigwin came to West
Church there were forty-seven members
in the same Presbytery, ti'irty-one have
since passed away and but three of the
original forty-seven remain in the Pres
bytery outside OF Rev. DR.. Keigwin and
these are not in active work.
The congregation will hold the
thirtieth annual meeting on Wednesday
evening. Trustees will be elected and
other business transacted.

NO MORE POSTPONEMENT.
District Attorney Vandegrift Says
Senator Kenney's Case Will Surely
be Tried December 8.


United States District Attorney Lewit
G. Vandegrift stated on Saturday tina,
there would be no further postponemen,
OF the trial of United States Senator
Richard Rollins Kenney, which will
come up in the United States Circuit
Court on Monday, December s..
Senator Kenney has been indicted fol-
aiding and abetting William N. Boggs in
lnisapplying the funds of the First
National Bank of Dover and also. with
conspiring with said Boggs to defraud
said bank.
The case, it is stated, will be far more
sensational than that OF last July, when
the jury failed to agree, which necessi-
tated new trial.
A number of additional witnesses have
been subpoenaed to appear in the inter-
ests of the government and they will
contradict certain evidence given by wit
nesses for the defence at the last trial.
It is also said that additional evidence
will be produced, showing that Mr..
Kenney was fully cognizant OF Bogg's
defalcation at the bank, long before the
time testified to.
The case will no doubt attract fully as
much attention, if not more than the
former trial and the result will be
awaited with interest.
