TWO SKILLFUL ENGRAVERS
Leagued With Cigarmakers in
a Gigantic Scheme.
TWO SKILLFUL ENGRAVERS

Washington, April 1s.-Probably the
most important capture in the history OF
the secret service was made yesterday in
Philadelphia by Chief John F. Wilkie and
his agent when they arrested Arthur
Taylor and Baldwin s. Bredell, the max
ers of the famous counterfeit 'Monre
head sl00 silver certificate. These ar
rests were followed by the capture in
Lancaster, Pa, Of William NJ. Jacobs and
William L. Kendig. two prominent cigar
manufacturers, and James Burns, VINO
was in Jacobs employ. There were also
captured the original plate from which
the silver certificates were printed "a new
500 counterfeit plate and new $50-plate
and also three sets of plates for the
printing fcounterfeit revenue stamps,
rolls, other paraphernalia and about five
tons of paper and large amount OF
counterfeit stamps. The Monroe head"
plate and also the stamp plates and the
other materials were found in Lancaster,
where the printing was done. The plates
for the new 800 note and the so note
were found. The officials have taken pos
session of the actories the ciga -rnakers
and have also attached their bank &C
count Taylor and BredelI II Is said.
We're captured while actually al work on
the new plates They are young men VINO
were employed in Philadelphia By differ
ent firms. but some time ago started in
business for themselves They are said
to be expert engravers and never before
have been under suspicion. They are
said to have confessed today that less
than $4,000 of the famous notes were put
which was first discovered a year ago last
fall by an official of the sub-treasury at
Philadelphia, was the most dangerous
counterfeit ever put in circulation, and
even the experts of the government for a
long time were Undecided as to whether
tn note was genuin or counterfeit. After
a most careful search, however. a dis
tinguishing mark was discovered which
decided the question and enabled the Of
ncials readily to distinguish the genuine
from the spurious. Secretary Gage recog-
nized the very great danger OF this new
note and at once called in the entire issue
of many million dollars. This prompt &C
ton baked the counterfeiters at the very
beginning. OF the 500 notes which were
issued only about twenty-six have been
discovered. Plans were set on foot to ap-
prehend the counterfeiters and Mr.. John
E Wilkie, a newspaper man of Chicago.
who was known TO have done some very
clever detective work, was sent for and
placed in charge of the secret bureau.
He Immediately laid his pans and on
February l. 1898, found the clue which re-

Ezra Hartshorn, Of Alva, who was the
author of the bill to divide Woods county,
and which was vetoed by the governor, is
in the city. He states that the veto of his
measure has not relieved the situation in
Woods county, where the residents are
now engaged in county seat war, the
oId-time rivalry between the towns of Au-
gusta and Alva having been revived. AL
ready petition Calling for special cleo
ton has been prepared and, according to
Mr.. Hartshorn, will be favorably acted
upon at the next meeting of the county
commissioners. Mr.. Hartshorn is further
quoted as saying that the proposed cleo
ton is a choice between two evils--a coun-
ty seat war or the partition OF Woods
county into three counties.

An Amusing Incident,

An amusing incident occurred in the stove
and tinware store of William Krick, on South
Main street, which has the reputation of be-
ing one of the tidiest business places in the
town. A lady entered the store the other
day, asked for a certain article and while ex-
amining it her eyes caught the floor. She
stood on her heels, kept moving in a nervous
manner that worried the merchant greatly,
and finally said, Pm sorry, but 1 cannot
stand on this damp floor, feel the water
soaking clear through my shoes and l know
1 shall be sick" This was too much, for the
modest merchant. He explained that what
she mistook for water was only new solu-
tton of oil which is put on floors to arrest the
dust. She looked at him little mysteriously,
glanced cautiously and then felt her shoes
Finding them perfectly dry she was induced
to remain until her business was finished,
but it is doubtful if the woman really be-
lieved the merchant for she declared to the
last that she knew she would catch cold"
