SOUTHERN GlEANiNGS.
Wreck ON Southern Railway.

Investigation of the Southern Rail-
way wreck. which occurred at Ravens
worth, Va. when train No. 80. the
New York q Florida express, dashed
into an open switch, confirms the
opinion that the catastrophe was of
malicious origin. Mr.. A. Gordon
Jones, superintendent of the Wash
ington division of the Southern rail-
way, says the track is known to have
been in perfect shape only a short
time prior to the wreck, and that an
investigation afterward showed that
the lock of the switch had been brok
en- and had been taken entirely away.
Reis inclined to believe that some enc
my of the road desired to wreck the
train, and that no robbery was in
tended. Both Engineer John Purvis
and Walter Wigginton, the fireman,
died at their posts. The formers
body was found under the engine,
burned and terribly mangled. Two
postal clerks, Victor =. Hammer and
n. w. Borden, were injured in the
wreck quite severely.

Interesting Developments of a Trial
in the County Court in
Brooklyn, N. Y.
INGENIOUS TRAP TO CATCH SUCKERS.
District Attorney Clarke shows the
Working of "a Machine Used by
Green Goods Men to work on the
SuscePtibiities of Prospective
Purchasers.

New York, Feb. 1s.-In a trial
which is now progressing in the
county court in Brooklyn, District
Attorney Clarke has had occasion to
show the workings of n machine used
to catch persons susceptible to the
influence of the green goods idea, and
by which it was said at least $4,000
had been obtained. 1t was in the trial
CT Samuel Faust and Harry Faust, on
charge of offering for sale counter
felt money.
The district attorney told the jury
that the defendants offered for $35
to give 800 in money so closely re-
sembling the genuine that it was
guaranteed to pass the inspection of
bank cashiers. The victim was then
invited to see the counterfeiting plant
in operation.
Then Mr.. Clark showed the jury the
mechanism and explained it's work
ings. 1t consists of a copper box
about two feet square with false
bottom and cover. 1t is alleged that
the Fausts would take two genuine
OlllS, wet iHtm Wltu IL StCTcb prep
aration, place a piece of tissue paper
between them and then put them in
an envelope. The latter would them
be placed in the box and the cover
c.osed. Half a dozen batteries =
tached to the box would then be set
in operation, the strange noises i'm
pressing the victim and making him
believe that some strange process was
going on. In the excitement the false
bottom would be allowed to drop over
the first envelope, leaving exposed an
other envelope, in which three gen
uine bills would be found. The center
bill would be supposed to be the
counterfeit that had just been made.
The prospective victim would be al
lowed to take it to bank, and, find
ing that it passed muster, usually re-
turned to get large quantities OF
green goods, which were palpably
frauds.
