Folsom, Cal, March IA counter
feiting plant has been discovered with
in the walls of the state prison. The
work was done in the engine room by
convicts l.. H. Coyne and James
Brown. So far as known only nickels
were coined, presumably because no
silver could be obtained. When the Of
flcers rushed in Coyne and Brown leap
ed through a window and threw their
dies and crucibles into a canal leading
to the American river. A large number
of well executed five cent pieces were
found. They were made from babbitt
metal taken from the engines which
run through the prison grounds for the
purpose Of hauling rock from the quar-
ries. Several of the bogus coins have
been found in circulation in the town
of Folsom.

GIN. ROSECRANS DEAD.
The Veteran Warriors Death Was
Peaceful in the Extreme.
TO BE GIVEN A PUBLIC FUNERAL.

The Veteran Was Stricken With No
Particular Disease and the End Came
Through General Weakening ofthc
System-Two Children at Deathbed.
Los Angeles. CAL, March E.-Gen-
eral W. 8. Rosecrans died yesterday
at his home near Redondo. The old
warriors death was peaceful in the ex-
IRENE. For several days he had been
between. life and death, at times uncon-
Bcious and again in a comatose state.
His splendid vitality kept him alive
for days. At the bedside when the
end came were son and daughter of
the general, Carl and Anna Rosecrans,
and a number OF immediate friends of
the family, besides the attending ply
stefan, DIR. Hakes. His third child, a
daughter, Mrs. O'Toole, lives at Helena,
Ont.
General Rosecrans was stricken with
no particular disease, and the end came
through a general weakening of the
system. When he was first stricken.
more than two weeks ago, 1t was not
supposed the ailment was more than
an attack Of the grip. He rallied sew
eral times, but the physician never
held out much hope for recovery, ami
for the last three days the family and
friends had known that tine end was
very near
The place where he died is called
Rosecrans, in honor of him, and is near
a station on the Redondo, about Il
miles from the city. The general had
made his home there on large ranch
devoted to fruit raising for several
years. General Rosecrans was pos
sessed of a fine property, and his las!
days We're spent in peace and plenty.
Arrangements are being made to
have a. public funeral for General
Rosecrans, in which all the military
bodies of this city and section will par
ticipate. A request will be made to
have the body lie in state in the city
hall until the funeral.

1t Was Granted by Supreme Justice
Garrison, and Was Intended to Pre-
vent the Summary OustIng of a City
Councilman-Order Finally Restored
Camden, March 1.-THE reorgani-
cation of the city council yesterday,
which marked the transfer of the city
government from the Republicans to
the Committee of One Hundred, was
marked by scenes of wild disorder dur
ing which retiring City Clerk Varney
was roughly handled and finally forced
from the room. While the excitement
was at its height Mayor-eiect Cooper
B. Hatch mounted table and was
sworn into office by Justice Joseph l.
Peale.
The city council met at 4 O'Clock. and
for an hour the proceedings were with
out special incident. The new members
had been sworn In, with George B.
Taylor as president. Prayer had been
offered and the chamber was just get
ting down to business, when a resolu-
ton was presented asking for the I'M
seating of Republican &ouncilman
Roberts. of the Third ward, and nam
ing Dr. William Schaeffer instead.
City Clerk Varney who was acting at
the request of the city clerk-elect, was
reading the returns of the ward when
a man rushed into the room waving a
paper The retiring president, c. Fl.
Ellis, snatched it from his hand and
facing President Taylor shouted: Il
have here a writ Of certiorari from the
suDreme court"
Instantly all was confusion. Varney
tried to read the paper, but was shout
ed down. City Clerk-elect Kramer
went to his assistance. A struggle
followed, and the paper was torn to
pieces. The crowd surged to and fro,
and fists were freely used. Varney
was knocked down and was hauled
from beneath a crowd. A detail of
policemen was brought to the scene
and restored quiet, but not before
Mayor-elect Hatch had taken the op-
portunity to have the oath of office
administered, after which he spoke
to the members and business was re-
sumed.
The writ was granted by Supreme
Court Justice Garrison on an affidavit
that a resolution to GUST Councilman
Roberts was about to be introduced.
The previous city council had decided
that Roberts was the proper repre-
sentative Of the ward.
