CAUGHT AT LAST.
Eight Italian COunte rfeiters Arrested
by United States Detectives
in New York City.

Washington, Jan. THE officials Of
the secret service of the treasury de-
partment, under the direction of Chief
Wilkie. made a number of highly i'm
portant arrests in New York Friday
night and Saturday morning. For at
least two months the secret service
people have been at work to discover
the makers of a large number of all
silver counterfeit coins, mostly quar-
tiers and halves, which were being free
ly circulated in New York city. The
result has been that Pho Paris and
seven companions, all Italians. were
arrested and are now in Jail awaiting
the action of the United States commits
sioner. The fact that large numbers
of these all-silver counterfeits were
being freely circulated in New York
during the last two years has given
Chief Wilkie a great deal of trouble.
The coins being of almost pure silver,
9CO fine. and fairly well made, they
readily passed wherever presented, and
rendered extremely difficult the task
of locating the makers and passers.
Chief Wilkie said Saturday that the
gang probably was responsible for at
least so per cent. of all the silver coun-
terfeits which have been put in cir
culation in New York during the last
two years.

A FATAL FIRE.
Eight Men Lose Their Lives in n Blaze
That Destroys Hotel in
Minneapolis, Mimi.

Minneapolis, Mimi, JAN. Eight
men lost their lives in fire at lis
Washington avenue at three o'clock
in the morning, which had its origin
in the rear of the Standard furniture
store. The men were overtaken by an
intense volume of smoke in the Har-
ward hotel, which occupies the sec
ond, third and fourth floors of the
building, and death in every instance
was due to suffOcation.
What took place in the dingy rooms
and narrow, dark Railways will never
be known. 1t was a case of every man
rushing for his own life. Nineteen of
the 81 dodgers were successful, but
the others were unable to beat their
way through the smoke, succumbed,
and fell in their tracks, where they
were found by the firemen. Many of
those who escaped came staggering
out on the snowy sidewalk like drunk
EN- men, barely making their way
through the deadly smoke and heat,
and only partially clad. Several had
the most narrow of escapes.
The loss on the building and con-
tents will not exceed $4,000. The dead
are:
Nathaniel Party, 60 years old; c.
j. Skidmore, As years old; j. S. Bent

is useless to hope for foreign interven-
ton.
