CAUGHT AT LAST.
Eight Italian Counterfeiters Arrested
by United states Detectives
in New YorR City.

Washington, Jan. THE officials OF
the secret service of the treasury de-
partment. under the direction of Chief
Wilkie. made 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 large number of all
silver counterfeit coins, mostly quar-
ters 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.
SEQ fine, and fairly well made, they
readily passed wherever presented, and
rendered extremely difficult the task
of locating the makers and passers.
Chief Williie said Saturday that the
gang probably was responsible for at
least so per cent. of all the silver coun-
terfeits which have oeen put in cir
culation in New York during the last
two years.

RUSH TO THE CAPE.
The Beers Are Making Rapid March
in the Colony md the Dutch
May Rise in Force.

London, Jan. 7.--News from South
Africa continues to be of an alarming
nature. Dispatches received from
Lord Kitchener do NOT tend to allay
the anxiety about the safety of Cape
Colony, where, it is believed, the Dutch
are ready to join the Boers whenever
an army of commanding strength as
sures the success of the rising.
According to Lord Kitchener's in
formation the two commanders are
making rapid headway toward Cape
Town. and reports show that the city is
thoroughly frightened and preparing
for an emergency.
Lord Kitchener's official dispatch to
the war Office under date of Pretoria,
January 4, is as follows:
The Beers have reappeared along the
railway in the neighborhood of Rheinos-
ter, but 1t is doubtful If De Wet is with
them. With regard to the situation In
Cape Colony. the western command
seems to be making toward Calvin and
the eastern party appears to have broken

Pretoria, Jan. 5.-General Louis
Botha. the commander-in-ch of the
Beers. has traversed the country with
one of his commandos, from Ermelo
to The Springs. Reports differ as to
whether he has been advising the
burghers to sue for peace or to con-
tinue the struggle. All reports, how
ever. agree that he has told the Beers
frankly that Mr.. Kruger's mission to
Europe has been a failure, and that it
is useless to hope for foreign interven-
ton.
London, Jan. "A dispatch from
Pretoria says that General KnoX's
force, which is pursuing General De
Wet. passed through Ficksburg and di-
vided into three columns. One cap
tured a quantity of supplies and 2s
prisoners. Gen. Williams forces ad-
vanced from Middelburg on Tuesday
and attacked the Beers, but were not
strong enough to dislodge them, and
were compelled TO return.

tation between the British high COM
missioner. Sir Alfred Miner. and the

THE ACT OF A FIEND.
Murderous Assault Made Upon an
Ohio Lady.
She Resists nm Attnck Upon Her
Honor and Is Cut to Pieces by
n Razor in Her AssaiI-
ants Hands.

Marietta. o., Jan. 5.-One of the
most brutal of crimes was committed
Friday evening at hackney, Morgan
county, by which Miss Nellie Norris,
aged 10, handsome and accomplished,
will probably lose her life. AS Miss
Morris was returning home from
the post office by way of
a path through the fields, she
was accosted by Walter A. Vein
stock, young man, aged is years,
who lived near her home. He made
indecent proposals to her, and she i'm
mediately started to run. He grabbed
her and threw her to the ground. She
screamed and fought hard, finally get
ting to her feet. Weinstock drew a
razor from his pocket and cut her
across the neck, severing the neck
muscles and laying bare the iugular
vein. Miss Morris grabbed the razor
with her hands and they were cut
into pieces in her mad attempt to
rescue herself from the man. Her
fingers were cut off and her wrist
badly cut. as well as her entire right
arm and left arm badly disfigured.
Her dress was torn from her in shreds
and when people arrived she was al
most naked. She will probably die
from the effects of her wounds. She
is the daughter of Benjamin Morris,
a business man of this city, and is
prominent in society in this city and
Parkersburg.
Weinstock was grabbed by crowd
of men, who bound him with ropes
hand and foot, and removed him to a
building, where more than 1,500 men
watched over him. \ telephone mes
sage was sent to McConnellsville for
officers to come and get him. but the
people were getting ready to start
for Marietta at ten o'clock p. m. with
their man and place him in jail. There
is talk of lynching him, and as late
as midnight the people of Hackney
were all up and mob was being or
ganized to hang Weinstock Even g
tree was selected and the rope in
the hands of people who will do what
they say. Weinstock recently re
turned from the reformatory. where
