SILVER DOLLAR MOLDS.
Sent to Galveston to Take Advantage
of the Excitement There
Captured.

New York, Oct. 1.-Chief Hazen, of
the secret service, stationed in this
city, was yesterday placed in posses
sion of two molds for silver dollars
which were discovered in a somewhat
remarkable manner. While George f.
Hayes, a nurse who left New York
with the New York journal and Adj
vartiser relief expedition, was busy
sorting supplies on the dock at Gal-
weston q few days ago, he came across
a package which had some peculiar
mark on It. He threw it into a wagon
which was taking medicines to a re-
lief hospital. Here it was opened and
the molds discovered There was also
the half of a $50 bill pasted on a slip
of paper. Hidden in the paper pack
age there was Il note which read:
BE sure and see that --- gets
plenty of drugs. If you don't she
went be able to Go anything"
Tine package turned out to have
been sent from this city to Galveston
on a steamship that had left New
York and touched at no other port.
Chief Hazcp said, IN regard to the
matter:
The counterfeiters undoubtedly i'm
tended to take advantage of the eN-
citement in Galveston, and run off a
large quantity of bogus silver dollars
to circulate in the flood money follow
ing the relief of the Distress
The discovery of the molds is re-
garded as important by secret service
people, in that it denotes that there
is u counterfeiting gang in New York
and. possibly, with branches all over
sbe limited States.
