SECRET SERVICE REPORT

Annual Statement.
statistics Of countcrfeiting, Both
Paper and Coin, and other vio-
Iati0ns of Federal Laws.

Washington, Aug. 26-The annual
report of Chief Wilkie of the secret
service, shows total OF 532 arrests,
of which Al related to counterfeits OF
currency, 50 to altered obligations,
344 to the counterfeiting of coin and
the others in connection with various
violations of the federal statutes.
The nationality Of the defendants
represented most of the civilized coun-
tries, but native born offenders led
with 392, Italy being second with AZ,
and Austria third with 13.
In geographical division of prosecH-
tions Pennsylvania led with "a; New
York had n; Ohio, 35; California, 20;
Missouri, 2S, all of the states and ter
ritories except Alaska being repre-
sented.
One case was prosecuted in Cuba.
Counterfeit notes confiscated by the
service aggregated S36,S34, against
$44,350 the previous year; while the
coins seized aggregated $24,110,
against $16,419 for the previous
twelve months.
Ihere We're captured l65 plates OF
various descriptions for the making of
counterfeit notes and 454 dies and
molds for coming. A very large pro-
portion of the counterfeit coins was
captured in the hands of the makers
before being placed in circulation. But
nine new counterfeit notes were made
and circulated and of these only four
were considered deceptive enough to
bring them in the dangerous class.

NORTH CAROLINA LYNCHING.
John Moore, a Negro, Taken From
JAN at Newbern and Hanged.
He Was Charged with aurderous
Assault, ON MRS. George EubanISss
in nm Attempted Robbery.

Newbern, N. G., Aug. Is. John
Moore, negro, 20 years old. was taken
from Craven county jail, in this city.
and lynched by a mob of 100 masked
men armed with rifles and revolvers.
With his hands tied behind him, the
negro was led out about a third of
mile from the Jail to the draw of Neuse
river bridge, hanged to one of its
braces and his body riddled with bull
lets.
Entrance to the Jail was effected by
forcing the jailer to surrender the keys.
As soon as the attack was discovered
the naval reserves were called out to at
tempt to prevent the lynching. Sheriff
]. W. Biddle pleaded that Moore be
left to the law, but his efforts were ull-
availing and the mob carried out its
plans.
Moore entered the country store of
George Eubanks, at Clarks, seven miles
from Newbern, last Friday, when the
proprietor's wife was the only one in.
The negro attempted robbery and struck
Mrs. Eubanks on the head with meat
AK, fraeturing the skull and inflicting
injuries which, if they do not prove ia.
tai, will at least cause not only disfig-
urement but lifelong suffering.
The real cause Of the lynching lay in
the fact that at his preliminary hear
ing Moore's bond was fixed at the small
sum of $500.
