Not Discovered Until the Next
Day.
1t behooves storekeepers throughout
the city to be on their guard against
swindlers who are operating here with
bogus money The swindlers are not
taking any chances with counterfeit coin,
but are passing what purport to be $40
currency bills, but which are in reality
81 bills raised to the denomination Of $40
The alterations of the bills are cleverIy
executed, denoting a master hand at the
business and at night, the time selected
by the swindlers to pass the bills, can
scarcely be detected upon close examina-
ton. From the nature Of the first local
case that has come to the knowledge Of
Government Inspector Lawrence, it is be-
leved the swindlers are the same that re-
Gently flooded ST. Louis No, with the
raised 81 bills and who are reported to
have operated to some extent in the
smaller Minnesota towns.
The only person who has as yet report
ed having been victimized by the raised
bills is Mrs. T. Chandler, who conducts
a confectionery store at All West Seventh
street Mrs. Chandler accepted one Of the
bills from stranger Monday evening.
The fraud was discovered yesterday,
when she at once reported the case to
Inspector Lawrence The fellow who
passed the bill was evidently used to
showing the queer as his complacency
| was in no way disturbed when it was
suggested that the bill was probably
counterfeit. He laughed at the sugges-
anime the money and finally induced her
| to give him $40 In change He was @
young man wearing dark clothes and a
brown derby hat. He was smooth faced
and possessed a ford complexion. He
entered the store shortly after o'clock,
| While several persons were in the place,
and without desiring to make a purchase,
| asked Mrs Chandler to change $40 hill
for him. Mrs. Chandler told him that
she did not like to make change, fearing
that she might accept counterfeit money.
The stranger laughingly rendered her the
bill he held in his hand, telling her to ex-
anime it and that If 1t was counterfeit,
she need not change it. Mrs. Chambers
daughter held the bill up to the light,
and noticing the genuine thread lines,
told her mother that the money was I'M
questionably good Mrs. Chandler there
fore gave the stranger $40 in change and
he left.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Chandler ten
dered the bill to ]. p. Whitewen to be
credited on cigar account. Mr.. White
we'll noticed something wrong about the
bill and finally discovered that it was a
raised 81 bill. Along the bottom Of the
bill are miniature dollar marks that the
sWindlers had not taken care to efface
These fell under the eye Of Mr.. White
well and disclosed the fraud.
The bills used in the raising opera
lions are of the 1890 issue. On either side
are two large 81 marks, while in the four
corners, on both sides are smaller marks
of the same kind. The alterations are
made by marking a cipher on very thin
green silk and pasting the slip over the
81 mark so that the original mark, on
the bill showing through, While the
cipher on the silk fitting close the 81
mark gives the bill every appearance of
$40 denomination.

A woMAN's LOVE.
Submitted to Arrest Rather Than
Betray Her Husband.

August Won Gravenhorst and woman
who claims to be his lawful wife, and
who has marriage certificate to prove
it, are in the County Jail on a charge
of living together Illegally 1t is a strange
case and illustrates what a woman will
suffer for a man she loves
Mrs. Gravenhorsts certificate shows
that she was married to her husband by
the Rev. A. F. Grimm in New York on
January, 1897. They went to live in
Spring street, West Hoboken. Her hus-
band disappeared on October Z, last year,
but returned after short absence and
explained that he had been looking for
work.
Another woman called at the house in
Spring street few days ago and exhibit
ed a certificate showing that she had been
married to Hedwig Gresham on October
10, 1897 She had learned that Gresham
and Gravenhorst were one and the same
man. Fearing that her husband would
be prosecuted for bgamy she withheld
the proof of her marriage and submitted
to arrest rather than betray her husband.
Finding that her sacrifice was of no
benefit to him, as he was arrested with
her on the charge made by wife No. 2,
she has produced the proof Of her mar
riage and will be yindicated when she is
brought into court.

ACCIDENT STILL A MYSTERY.
Coroner's Jury Can't Ascertain
Why Lorillard's Fly Wheel Burst.

The jury impanelled by Coroner William
Delaney to enquire into the cause of the
death of James P. Delaney, who, with
Norah Mccarthy, was killed by the burst
ing of sectional fly wheel at Lorillard's S
tobacco factory, on January H. met at
the Court House last night. A number
of witnesses were examined but the re-
sponsibility for the accident could not be
fixed.
1t transpired that an examination of the
wheel after the accident failed to disclose
any flaw 1t was an 1S-foot wheel and
made 62 revolutions minute.
Thomas J. Maloney. general superin-
tendent of the factory; Edward Tremaine
superintendent of machinery John
Franklin, foreman of the snuff depart
nent; Andrew .O'Neill, steam ftters and
William H. Cronley, inspecting engineer,
all testified that they could give no reason
for the bursting of the wheel, which all
supposed to be perfectly sound and safe.
The jury's verdict was We find, ac-
cording to the evidence, that P. Delaney
came to his death in 1loriHard's tobacco
factory, Jersey city, on January u, from
injuries caused by the bursting Of az fly
wheel. the cause Of which Is unknown

F|RENEN'S GOOD WORK.
They Quickly Control
Dangerous Blaze at Sus-
sex and Hudson SITS.

The Jersey City Fire Department had a
stubborn fire to fight last night. At one
o'clock this morning they were still at
work The last engine did not go home
until after three o'clock. The fire utter
ly destroyed the large asbestos paper fac
tory of r. NJ Gilmore at Hudson and
Sussex streets. The building was long,
low, one-story brick structure, to whien
was attached a shed sixty by one hum
dred feet.
The fire broke out at nine o'clock, ap-
parently from a dozen different points at
the same time. In an incredibly short
time the whole building was a mass Of
flames Gustav Nelson, who lives near
the factory, discovered the fire, and sent
in the first alarm. A second alarm was
sent by Chief Conway as soon as he ar
rived
The firemen saw early that they could
not hope to save the factory, SO they bent
their energies towards saving the ad-
joining property. Had the buildings ad-
jacent to the factory caught fire the
flames would have quickly spread and the
whole block would have ben in danger.
The origin of the fire is a mystery. No
person can determine just where 1t start
ed, but it is supposed that it originated
in the boiler room. There was no watch
man at the factory. The building ma
chinery and stock were all destroyed. The
loss will exceed $3.50. The burned build
ing was in the proximity to the American
Line pier. 1t looked from a distance as
if the pier was on fire. The fire tugs hur-
ried to the scene but had nothing to do.

PLAGUED THE NATRON.
Three Young Desperadoes
Try to Break Out Of Oak
land Avenue Jail.

The last member of the Indian" gang
was rounded up this morning, when Paul
Schneider, better known as dutch Paul'
fifteen years old, of No. 325 Nunda avenue,
was arrested. He was arraigned before
Justice Potts on charge of petit lar
ceny The complaint is Gustav Nueblest,
of No. 1S3 Duncan avenue. The case was
put off until Monday morning.
The gang of which Schneider is mem
ber, consists of four members all boys,
under fifteen years of age. Schneider is
the Oldest The others are William and
Charles Fischer and William Spooner. All
thre live on Duncan avenue. When the
Fishers and Spooner were arrested las1
Monday Schneider ran away from his
home. Patrolman Milburn, who chased
Schneider through the Hackensack mea-
dows, is now laid up with heavy cold
as the result. The prisoners arrested on
Monday we're committed to the county
jail, it being their second offense.
They admitted that they intended to
go West to kill indians, and had stolen
canvas awnings and groceries for the
trip. The stuff they stored in the woods
near the Hackensack plankroad. Each
had 3S-calibre revolver and daily excur-
sions were made to the woods on the
west side, where they would practice on
the sparrows. Their sanguinary expedi-
ton was cut short, however, and post
poned for thirty days at least.
Since they have been locked up in the
Oakland avenue station the matron has
had her hands full. She vehemently de-
clares that the lads are simply incorri-
gible. On their arrival they We're put in
one CELL but they threatened to pull the
wooden door off it's hinges. Spooner was
put in more substantial cell down stairs
and William Fischer was alcso separated
from the gang to study the situation by
himself
Spooner has made several attempts to
pick the lock of his cell, which is just
beneath that of Charles Fischer. Fischer
lowered a string to Spooner from the
window of his cell yesterday and the
latter declares he could have "shut off
his own wind'' had not the cord been
taken from him. They now pass "butts,
as Il call them, up and down, and
Spooner told a News" reporter this
morning that he would kill himself if
he got chance.
.'They took our guns away he mourn
fully said, but you bet your sweet life
I'll pick that lock some day and get away.
This is tough dose to swallow, when
we all want to go west. Well do, it yet,
though, and then you'll see"
There was great jubilation among the
three when they learned that Schneider
was also in limbo.
Hey, Dutehy, you'll be good now."
shouted Spooner when Schneider was
brought in. What did you want to get
caught for anyway, yer had a good start?
If it had been me, I'd be out west now"
And so the lad rambled on, declaring
that he would do all sorts of bad things.
The punishment does them no good, and
they declare that nothing will stop them
from carrying out their plans.
