COUNT[RFE|TERS HELD.
One Refuses Absolutely to
Tell Who He Is--He Had
the Spurious Coin.

United States Commissioner Lindsey
Rowe yesterday afternoon held an ex-
animation in the case of James Conley,
2S years old; John Doe, q years old, and
Patrick Farley, the, three men who were
arrested in West New York last Friday
for passing counterfeit money When ar
rested the man giving his name as John
Doe had a childs silk stocking. contain-
ing $50 in spurious quarters, and on the
three men was found 500 in nickels and
dimes. Several witnesses testified yester-
day that either Conley and Farley came
into their stores and made a small pur-
chase for which they paid with one of
the spurious quarters receiving in change
good money According to this, William
Fink, son of Mrs Dinah Fink, who keeps
a saloon at Pierce avenue and Polk
street. detected one of the men when he
came into his mothers store and asked
for glass of beer. He whispered to his
mother that the fellow had bad money
She refused to accept the money placed
on the bar and the stranger left. Fink
sent Louis Miller, of King street, to no.
tify the police, and he followed the man,
who was joined by two others. The trio
turned south. They entered several
stores to buy five cents worth of cigar
cites and other articles, thus getting rid
of their bad quarters and securing good
money in change.
In the meantime Sergeant George
Gleitsman, who was notified by Miller.
detailed Roundsman Wallace to go after
the men. Sergeant Gleitsman accom-
panied him. The three men were seen
near the Flower Hill Cemetery entranc
Each offer covered man and started
for him as Sergeant Gleitsman gave the
word.
Roundsman Wallace had the most diff
cult task, but showed himself equal to
the occasion. The fellow he was after
saw him and ran Wallace, who was in
citizens clothes, thought the fellow might
outdstance him in the long run, so he
grabbed bicycle from a boy and mount
ing it, rode off and overlook the fellow
This was the only one who had counter
felt money on his person. The others
threw what they had away when they
saw the officers We're after them.
After hearing the testimony Commits
sioner Rowe committed the men for trial.
He was much interested in John Doe,
who appeared to be a young man of some
refinement, who had evidently been in
good circumstances. He asked him If he
would not tell where he lived SO that his
friends might be told of his predicament
The young man shook his head and said:
"I've got nothing to say; you've got me
and I'll take my DOSE

The ICE MAN.

The icemen are uoing' their best to add
to the discomfort Of the torrid weather.
They have adopted naughty and un-
bending manner toward customers when
selling the smallest possible piece of ice
for the largest possible price. Most peo-
pie pay the price rather than be without
ice. And the iceman knows he has the
advantage. He not only tries to do his
regular customers but he utterly refuses
to sell to any one else.
Several dealers told their regular GUS
toners that no ice would be supplied to
them. as the people who had small chill
dren must get it first.
The iceman is hours, late as rule

MOSQUITO ADDS ITS BITE.

The hum of the mosquito has not been
heard with SO much regularity before this
summer as it was last night and the
night before. The pest drove people fran
tic. Everywhere people went they wero
met by the mosquito. On the Heights
the residents had the most cause for
complaint. The rain of last evening serv-
ed to drive them from their beds in the
tall grass to wage war on their human
enemies. Drove after drove came along
from the meadow lands to poster people.
On the water the mosquito was even
worse than on land. People who sought
the cooling brcezes were driven in shoIc
again TO escape the mosquitoes.

car yesterday morning and ran forward
TO where bakery wagon was standing.
The driver was lying back in his seat ap-
parently asleep.
The motorman shouted, but got no re-
sponse. Then he looked closely at the

why the King Likes His Grandson

His Majesty King Edward VII takes pleasure
in instructing his grandson, Prince Edward of
Cornwall, in many things that he deems it
necessary for him to know. The child is full
of pluck. and his character much appeals to
the King, who cannot stand a boy without
spirit, and minds little how naughty he is in
the nursery so long as he tells the truth and
does not cry out when he is hurt.

grievous mistake was made by the

wings together. Abuse of Colonel
Bryan and his nation of friends by
those protesting to be democrats, but
who have co-operated with republic

never cement the democratic party to

WANTED A BOY
Advertised and One Fell Into His Lap
Before the Paper Came Out.

a gentleman desiring to employ a
boy stopped at newspaper Office on
his way to the theatre and left an adj
yertisement for the morning issue
stating his want. During the per-
Torrance boy fell into his lap from
the gallery above.
The story is far surpassed by one
that our frantic daily contemporary
relates. Last Thursday it advertised
for some public-spirited citizen to
install town clock, wholly oblivious
to the opportunity presented by the
new Pythian building in which it as
serts some sort of an interest, and it
suggested such ridiculous locations as
the river bridge and others. The
next day it learned that its ad had
been answered in a practicle (sic)
manner" and gravely proceeded TO
tell how, tO-wit, by the adoption
months before of a design for the
Masonic Temple in which clock was
inclu'ied, as every citizen of Plym-
outh who had any interest in the mat
ter knew long ago. In other words
the ad was answered long before it
was published, an example of sin
fiuence" that will be hard to match.
In contemplating this remarkable
case one is led to wonder why ''parties
desiring dirt" required GA ads to
move Ga loads from the little hole the
queer little man has been digging over
on Michigan street.

GREEN GOODS FAKE
Those Who Bite Are SwindIers at Heart
and Deserve no PITY.

The green goods swindlers are again
scattering their confidential sscircu-
lars" over Laporte county. They do
this about once year and from their
persistency it would seem probable
that they still find men dishonest
enough and ignorant enough to fall
into their trap. 1t is the same old
thing OF offering to sell greenbacks
'sprinted from genuine government
plate" at very cheap rates. Some
times when they think the victim is
particularly ignorant or dishonest
they will inclose genuine 81 green
back as specimen of the work they
do and the s'goods" they will deliver.
The fool victim usually sends what
money he can raise to buy this money,
and that is the last he ever hears from
it. People who are swindled in this
way are not entitled to sympathy, be-
cause at heart they are just as dis
honest as the men who play them,
and they deserve to be taught les

WHO ATE THE SAUSAGES?

NEW YORK, July 26.-After
forty years of married life, in
which they never separated for
a day, and during which time
they had bu, ore quarrel, Joseph
Schwad and lis wife have de-
cided that they must separate.
Both are now over sixty years
of age and ale wealthy. The
question of who ate certain sau-
sages has so split the family that
the wife has asked the supreme
court to give her a decree of
separation from her husband.
The husband said he was willing
that she should have her decree,
but objected to the amount of
alimony asked.

AUTOMOBILE GUNS
An Experimental Expedition That Will
Probably Visit This City Soon.

Maj. r. p. Davidson. of the North
western military academy atHighland
Park, Ill.,, will leave Chicago within a
few days with two automobile steam
gun carriages, mounting Colt auto
matte rapid-fire guns, on a trip to
Washington, carrying a message to
General Miles from the army head
quarters in Chicago. His companions
will be students of the academy and
the object is TO test such vehicles as
adjuncts to the military service.
These gun carriages were designed
and built by the students themselves
in the manual training department
of the academy and the trip laid out,
especially the mountain part of it,
will give them severe trial. 1t will
be recalled that a similar attempt
made last summer under the same
auspices resulted in failure because of
some defect in the tires.
The expedition will probably pass
through Plymouth, taking the Mich
igan road from this point to Indiana
polls, and in that caseit willreplenish

SALT LAKE, Utah, July 81
A section of seventy-five miles

earthquake shocks at 2::20 o'clock

brations generally were from
north to south, and at one or two
points lasted for fully five Sec

violence of the vibrations, and
other buildings were slightly
damaged The earthquake was

NEWPORT sHELLED
City Hall Struck by Bursting ProjectiIe
from Heavy Gun.

NEWPORT, r. l., July 90
While heavy gun practice was
going on at Fort Adams yester-
day afternoon several pieces of a
shell went whizzing up one of
Newport's streets, bent on de-
struction, but luckily no serious
damage was done. About 8
o'clock those in the vicinity of
the city hall heard a whizzine
sound in the air. which was fol
lowed by the falling of a limb of
a tree in front of the public
building, and then a piece of the
projectile was seen to Craze the
side of the city hall, making a
cut in the stone as clean as a
chiSel could have done. At tie
same time a tree a little farther
up the street was struck by ar
other piece of the projectile.
The piece that struck the city
hall struck just beneath the win
dow of the Office of the board of
health. On inquiry at the fort
it was learned that firing was be-
ing done with the ten-inch disap
pearing guns that guard the
entrance to Narragansett bay
When told that the city hall had
been struck one of the officers at
the fort said that it was impossi-
bic that shell used by them
could have burst, as no bursting
charge was used. The whole af-
fair, therefore. is a mystery. That
the pieces of shell came from the
direction of the harbor is evident
to those who have seen the cut
on the city hall. There had been
more or less saluting from the
warships in the harbor all the
afternoon, but there was none
being done at the time. This
evening a piece of shell was
found, and looked like part o a
Onepounder.
