HAD BEEN MAKING GOLD CERTIFICATES Skillfully Executed Plates Taken in z the Raid. CAUGHT BY DECOYS NEW YORK, August 6.—The World says: The expert counterfeiters who for two years past have been engraving and print- ing $500 and $100 United States gold cer- tificates and flooding Canada with notes of smaller denominations have been discovered by secret service detectives, and four of the gang of five are now locked up in Jersey City. The fifth member—the backer of the plant—was arrested, but escaped from the officers. Brockway, the most expert forger and counterfeiter in this country, is probably the principal of the gang. He is now seventy-three years old. When caught he had in his possession a $500 gold certificate and $390 in Canadian money, supposed to be counterfeit. The man who supplied the-funds for the Plant was Dr. O. E. Bradford, a dentist, who heretofore has managed to escape sus- picion. The other members of the gang are Libbie Smith, a cousin of Bradford, and Sidney Smith, the engraver of the party, who is said to be Libbie Smith's husband, and Wm. S. Wagner. Smith was arrested late last night with counterfeit plates in his pos- session. The plates and paper captured by the de- tectives show this to be the most skillful gang that has operated in this country for years. The building was raided on Saturday night last. Besides valuable plates for both United States and Canadian notes, $200,000 William E. Brockway. in Canadian currency, with the reverse side all printed, was discovered. The plate for the front side was found last night in the possession of Smith when arrested at nis home. A sufficient amount of fiber paper to print $400,000 more of Canadian money was also located in a secret closet. The Paper, according to experts, is even su- perior to that prepared by the Hoyt gang in Connecticut. Uncompleted plates for $500 and $100 United States gold certificates were on the tables. For ten days the detectives have had the place under surveillance in_the hope of capturing the entire gang. Brockway was known there as Col. Spencer, but the de- tectives had no difficulty in recognizing im. The detectives hoped, by postponing the raid, to get Dr. Bradford with the ot! ‘our. Chief Hazen of the secret service, who in person was directing the proceedings, or- dered the detectives to enter the house on Saturday mMght. Libbie Smith, a_ female ccnfederate, and Wagner were the only members of the party there. They were Iccked in jail, and the reason for their ar- rest kept a secret, while search was made for the rest of the gang. Bradford was ar- rested at his office in this city by Chief Hazen, and denounced his arrest as an out- rage. Capture cf Brockway. Sunday evening Brockway was found at his Rockaway cottage, and taken to the Jersey City police headquarters and locked up under the name of William Edwards. In his rooms were found a $1,000 railroad bend and a number of unused checks on various banks throughout the country. A $500 United States go!d certificate and $390 in Canadian notes were found padded to- gether in his coat pocket. Smith, the engraver of the gang, was not found until a late hour last night. A search of his rooms resulted in the finding of a half-finished plate for $300 United States gold certificates. Smith is the son of a noted counterfeiter, Charles E. Smith, whose picture is in the rogues’ gallery of every police station. Counterfeit Canadian money was found on the persons of each one of the four prison- ers, and the secret service officers say they have a clear case that they have been mak- ing and uttering counterfelt gold certifi- cates of the denominations of $500 and $100. That counterfeit gold certificates were in circulation was first reported to the Treas- ury Department at Washington in March, 1893. Mr. Drummond, then chief of the secret service, for several months endeav- ored to secure evidence. When Mr. Hazen succeeded him he resorted to the old sys- tem of decoys, and finally secured a case against Brockway and his aids, which re- sulted in the arrests told above. Accused Held. Wm. E. Brockway, the notorious counter- feiter and forger, and three members of his gang, Wm. Wagner, Sidney Smith, the en- graver, and Libbie Smith, his wife, who were captured by Chief Hazen of the secret service bufeau end his detectives, were ar- raigned today before United States Com- missioner Romain in Jersey City. Milton W. Smith, a brother of one of the prisoners, appeared as their counsel. He objected to the proceedings, claiming they were irregular, inasmuch as the crime charged was committed in New York. He held that the prisoners could not be held in a foreign state. United States District Attorney Beekman held that the arraignment was legal, and Commissioner Romain upheld him. Chief Hazen was also present in court. Commis- stoner Romain held the three inen in $15,- 000 bail each. They were unable to give the required securities and were lodged in the Hudson county jail. Libbie Smith, the alleged wife of Smith, was then arraigned. She was also held. When Brockway was arraigned before the commissioner he protest-d against the certificates being taken away trom him while he was being searched last night. Castoria For Infants and Children.

The Treasury Department is informed that Agent Erquirell arrested Wm. E. Brockway, alias Col. W. E. Spencer, and Sidney Smith, engraver, in Jersey City last evening, and that they were examined by United States Commissioner Romain this morning. Information was also received of the ar- Test of Abbie L. Smith and Wm. E. Wag- ner in New York Sunday for counterfeiting, and the capture of plates for printing United States gold certificates. Also seized entire outfit, including press, acids and fiber paper. Dr. O. E. Bradford, supposed to be implicated with gang of counterfeiters, escaped from custody yesterday morning. These are important cases, ——ae HURT BY A SALUTE. Intended as Courtesy, but Proved to Be an Injury. SPRINGFIELD, Ohio, August 6.—A can- non charge fired from a Knights of Pyth- jas excursion train yesterday struck a passing train, carrying the third regiment, Ohio National Guard, Col. Chas. 8. An- thony commanding, resulting in the seri- ous injury of a number of the soldiers. The regiment had been in camp for the past week at Johnson's Island, near San- dusky, and were returning to their homes on a special train. Yesterday was also the day for the Knights of Pythias of Spring- field and Dayton to start camp at San- dusky. The Pythians had a small cannon in the baggage car of their train and were firing salutes as they went along. One of these salutes was fired just as the regimental train was passing, at Bellefontaine, and the full charge of the cannon was deliver- ed right in the faces of the car full of sol- diers, who had the windows 0} ‘To make matters more terr was filled with the blinding and suffocat- ing smoke of the powder. With powder burning into some, and blood flowing from the wounds of others who had been struck by the heavy wadding,the scene was one of confusion. The hospital corps of the regiment was called into service. Three men were badly ‘ut about the head. Two little boys, ‘mascots,”” had their faces shot complete- ly full of powder. Two soldiers were made deaf, probably beyond recovery. Another will lose his eyesight. —— THINKS IT SHOULD PAY WELL. Congressman Coombs Discusses the Union Pacific. SAN FRANCISCO, August 6—Congress- man Wm. J. Coombs of New York, one of the government directors of the Union Pacific railroad, is in the city. He is on a tour of inspection of the Union Pacific sys- tem for the purpose of obtaining suffi- cient Information ¢o enable him to agree with the four other government directors upon some feasible plan for a fair settle- ment of the read’s indebtedness to the gov- ernment. In speaking of the prospects of the road he said: “With good management the Union Pacific ought to experience great prosperity, but there are some serious mis- takes which will have to be fixed on a sound financial footing. This overbonding and overcapitalization have shown their evil effects. The road has got to get down to a business basis before it can be oper- ated with profit, and in a manner that will permit the payment of: its obligations. I am greatly encouraged on account of the improvement in business, especially on account of the settlement of the dispute over the receivership of the Oregon Short Line. That’ matter is still in the courts, but you can rest assured that the Oregon Short Line will never be taken from the Union Pacific system. If the Oregon Short Line were to be placed under a separate receivership it would be a serious blunder for both roads and fatal to the lines in the middle states. It would divert large streams of through business to the lines in the north and south and Utah would be left on a side track instead of on a main jine.”” Mr. Coombs will leave for Portland in a —>—__ CYCLIST LENZ’S ASSASSINS. W. L. Sachtleben at Erzerum Await- ing Hin Opportunity. ALTON, Ul, August 6.—Another letter has been received from W. L. Sachtleben, who is conducting the Lenz searching ex- pedition. He is at Erzerum waiting for governmental authority to proceed with the prosecution of the murderers of the lost American wheelman. Having established the identity of the assassins, he is com- pelled to lie idly by until the United States, by force of authority, compels the Turkish government to allow proceedings against the guilty parties. He has recently had a telegram from the American consul! advis- ing him not to move for the present, but to await developments, as steps have been taken to procure him the needed authority. The State Department is earnestly backing up United States Minister Terrell in his demand upon the porte for the punishment of the three Kurds who murdered young Lenz, the bicyclist who was making a tour of the world on a wheel. Justice moves slow! however, in oriental countries, and it may be some time yet before the mur- derers are arraigned. At the last report, the minister had not been able to secure the necessary order for the arrest of the men, and it is probable that this accounts for the delay which is complained of by the representative of the periodical which sent Lenz on his last journey, but it is fully expected here that Mr, Terrell, who is much interested in the case, will succeed in bringing the murderers to justice. ea INDIAN POLICE ENOUGH. Sending Troops to Wyoming Appar- ently Needless. DENVER, Col., August 6.—A special to the News from Cheyenne, Wyo., says Ad- jutant General Stitzer arrived home from Jackson’s Hole. He reports everything quiet at that place, and says he believes the Indian police will be able to take the In- dians back to their reservations. DENVER, Col., August 6.—A special to the News from Lander, Wyo., says the sherift's posse which left for Jackson's Hole a week ago last Saturday night re- turned last night. Ex-Sheriff Spar Hawks says they rode fully 400 miles, and all the Indians they saw on the trip were on the Shoshone reservation. It is his opinion that the actual war in Jackson’s Hole will not commence until after the soldiers leave. The Prison Bridge Broke. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., August 6—Two convicts, Sullivan of Kansas City and Hooley of St. Louis, are in the prison hos- pital today possibly fatally hurt. Twenty prisoners are more or less injured. The prisoners working in one of the shoe shops were being marched to supper across a bridge twenty feet» long, connecting the second stories of the factory buildings, when the bridge broke and ail of those who were on it were precipitated to the ground. Sullivan and Hooley were among the first to fall. Strange to relate, no bones were broken. Hooley was hurt in the breast, Sullivan in the back. All who fell were badly bruised. ——.+_—_ Dissatisfied With a Juror. SAN FRANCISCO, August 6—A serious complication of some kind has arisen in the Durant case. The exact nature of the trouble is not known, but it {s believed that the lawyers of both sides are dissat- isfied with one of the jurors accepted, and wish to have him excused. Within the last day or two information is said to have been obtained with regard to one of the jurors which would have prevented him from serving if it had been known before he was accepted. The attorneys for both sides held a consultation over the subject, but at its Close refused to discuss the subject. a Slaughter of the Seals.

His lower limbs ere paralyzed, and his cond tion is such that the doctors expect eal death at any time. The wor is not considered dangerous, second bullet pierced the liver and embed- ded itself in his spine. Lane slept but little last night, although he put on a bold front at first and pre- tended to care little for having committed the bloody .deed. It was reported early this morning that 100 men had left Nicholasville by rail for Versailles intending to lynch Lane in broad daylight. At this hour nothing definite can be learned regurding this report. Every- thing is reported quiet at both Versailles and Nicholasville. gee SIX POLICEMEN: STOOD READY. But the Box Contained Antiques, Not Dynaniite. NEW YORK, August 6.—There was ex- citement last night at the residence of Mil- lionaire Duane Pell, No. 438 Sth avenue, when it was thought there was a box of dynamite in the house. Mr. and Mrs. Pell were out driving in the afternoon, and while they were gone a strange-looking little woman. called and left with the butler a small, iron-bound bex. When Mr. Pell returned he started on sceing the box in the hall, Then he thought about dynamite, and went out for Patrol- man Dwyer, who took the box to tho West 30th street station. There the box was opened, while six policemen stood about with buckets of water. The box was found to contain four silver candlesticks, two brass candlesticks and a silver candle snuffer. Mr. Pell understood it all. He has bought a great deal of antique matter from a wo- man, the one who left the box. ae es LOS ANGELES’ PARKHURSTS. They Prove Too Much for the Police Commissioners. LOS ANGELES, Cal., August 6—During the last month all but one member of the police commission of this city have handed in their resignations. The council has tabled the whole bunch. The last one came last night, when Commissioner Pirtles resigned. This leaves Commissioner Field alone. The Ministerial Association and the newspapers have been fighting the commission on ac- count of its handiing of the social evil. Though each one has presented a plausible excuse, it is believed that the ministers have been too much for the commissioners and virtually forced them out. Se REIGN OF TERROR. Negroes in Delta County, Tex. Or- dered to Leave. PARIS, Tex., August 6.—News has reach- ed here of a bad state of affairs prevailing in Delta county. One night last week every negro was notified that he must leave at once or he would be taken out and hanged. This caused a perfect stampede among the negroes, who, being thoroughly alarmed, began to move out of the country at once, although good citizens tried to dis- suade them, and offered them every protec- tion. Valuable property has been aban- donéd, and the scare continues. —— -— SECRETARY CARLISLE’S OUTING. Going Up the Lakes on the Amaranth.

Bowman, a young man who resided near Benning, died this morn- Ing at Providence Hospital from injuries supposed to have been received by being thrown from his buggy near the corner of Maryland avenue and 13th street northeast yesterday evening. From all the accounts Mr. Bowman appears to have been driving quite rapidly out Maryland avenue, when he tried to turn the animal down isth street, and was thrown out or fell out of the vehicle. When he was picked up he did not appear to be very seriously injured, although he complained of being hurt about the body. There was a small red mark on bis forehead near the left temple. He was removed to Providence Hospital and his wife notified. She came to the in- stitution, where everything was down to relieve her husband's sufferings, but with- out avail. The coroner, upon being noti- fied of the death and the circumstances connected with it, ordered an inquest in order to determine the cause of death. as THE WRIT REFUSED. An Unsuccessful Attempt to Enjoin the Treasury Department. Judge Cole today refused to xrant a man- damus on the application of W. A. Whaley and Harry Taylor for a writ of mandamus against the Secretary of the Treasury and the treasurer of the United States to com- pel payment to the petitioners of a draft for $17,000. Whaley and Taylor erected two buildings at Willetts Point, N. ¥., for the govern- mert, and the amount of the draft is due them on the contract. The draft, it was claimed, has been withheld under instruc- tions that it be delivered to them in the presence of certain alleged creditors in New York. The petitioners claimed that it should be delivered to them in this city. The matter was argued at length avout two weeks ago. In delivering his gpinion Judge Cole stated that the treasury officials have ex- hausted their power to pay. The case, he said, was fully covered by a decision of the supreme court of New York, the validity of which has been sustained by the Su- preme Court of the United States. The decision in question ruled that the Secre- tary of the Treasury possesses discretion in the matter of making payments, and in accordance with that stand Judge Cole re- fused to grant the writ. es Slight Fire, Small Damage. ‘This morning about 10 o'clock No. 7 En- gine Company was called to the house of Mrs. Gertrude Ruppert, No. 1019 U street northwest, where the house was qn fire.

MAKES AN ASSIGNMENT As the outcome of a transaction last May involving the collection of a check, it is among the possibilities that an investiga- tion will be made regarding the actions of Themas M. Fielis, a young Washington attorney who has beccme well-known be- cause of domestic d:fficulties and a series of escapades, aired at lergth from time to time in the newspapers. The charge ugainst Mr. Fields is that he obtained $970, May 9, on a check made by F. C. Linger of 1111 19th street, payable to Thomas M. Fields and Charles F. Benja- min as trustees, and drawn on the West End National Bank. The money being in litigation the check was indorsed to John R. Young, clerk of the court, by Mr. Ben- jamin as trustee. Instead of signing as the other trustee, it is claimed that Mr. Fields wrote his name over the words “pay to John R. Young,” and collected the money. Since trat time, so it is said, Mr. Fields has made many excuses for not turning the check over to Clerk Young, and Friday last notified Mr.. Benjamin that he would not produce the paper until certain disputed points were carriad into court. It has been suggested that Mr. Fields may be prosecuted by the Central Nation- al Bank for false pretenses. He is in poor health and at presert is at Atlantic City, according to his friends. Nothing Known at the Bank. Absolutely nothing is known of the trans- action at the Central National Bank, so the cashier of that institution informed a Star reporter this afternoon. “If there is any truth in the report re- gerding the check,” said the cashier, “it was a personal matter between Mr. Fields and our paying teller, Mr. F. C. Gieseking. The latter is at present out of the city en his vacation, and therefore we are wholly in the dark so far as knowledge of any possible facts In the case is concerned Of course, we have not given the slightest thought to the possibility of our losing the amount involved or of prosecuting Mr. Fields.” Clerk John R. Young informed the re- porter that he knows nothing of the case. ae check described not having reached im. Fields Mzkes an Assignment. An interesting feature of the case was the filing today with the recorder of deeds of a bill of assignment made by Thomas M. Fields, July 27 last, naming Edward H. Thomas and George H. Tichenor assignees. Mr. Fields, in his bill, states that he is indebted to divers persons, which, by rea- son chiefly of domestic difficulties and mis- fortunes, he has become unable to pay, and that he is desircus to provide for the pay- ment thereof to the best of his ability by an assignment of all his property and effects for that purpose, not excepting that ex- empt to nim by the laws in force in the District. -The assignees are directed to take im- mediate possession of the property of Mr. Fields, dispose of the same, collect ail debts due and with the proceeds discharge all debts owed by him. His Assets and Liabilities. The.assets are stated to be $35,850. They Include house 600 Maryland avenue north- east and many personal effects. Mr. Field's liabilities, according to the bill, amount to $18,222.59. The itemized schedule shows that $2,600 is due the Central National’ Bank, $500 the Capital Savings Bank, $300 the West End National Bank, $1,200 to Wm. Mayse & Co., and sundry other sums rang- ing from one dollar to $1,000 to business men of Washington. There is also a mort- gage for $10,000 in favof of the United Se- curity Life Insurance and Trust Company of Philadelphia. After discharging all his debts, Mr. Fields claims that there will be a surplus of $17,- 627.41, THE COURTS. Equity- Court No. 2—Judge Cole. In re Fannie E.

The conference committee, composed of delegates representing each of the -carpen- ters’ unions in the District who were ap- pointed some weeks since to consider the question of the consolidation of all the unions into one body, held an interesting meeting last night at the hall of Local Union No. 190, No. 627 Massachusetts avenue northwest, that soclety having ad- journed its regular weekly meeting in order that the conference might be held. The subject of consolidation was gone into to some extent, but no definite conclu sion was reached. It is the opinion, how- ever, of some of the best informed members of the various bodies interested that the consolidation will not be made at this time, at least. —— Officers Installed.

The last prosecution instituted against the Chinese laundrymen has had the effect of virtually ending the cut rate business in “Chinatown,” and the Chinese Union men are on top. With Ah Sing end his only helper, Sue Gow, in jail, on a charge of per- jury, the laundry work in the cut-rate es- tablishment is about ended, for a while at least, and the patrons of this place will hav» to go elsewhere and pay 10 cents to have their shirts done up in Chinese stylé, With the Incarceration of these poor Chi- namen comes a sad story of want and per- haps suffering. Ah Sing has a wife, who is soon to become a mother, and he also had her aged father to support. This old man is a Christian Chinaman. His wife was an Irish woman, and since her death he has spent a great part of his time with his daughter. They are almost without food to eat, and the little half-breed woman has received a notice to leave the premises for non-pay- ment of rent, so her counsel gays. But the men will have to remain in jail until Thursday at least, at which time they will be given a hearing on a char; © of perjury. Judge Mills, in granting prosecutors a continuance, fixed the ball at $1,000, en amount which they could not give because they have to pay the men who go security for them, and the amount for such a bond is co large that they could not raise the money. Lawyer John A. Clarke has been called in the case to assist Messrs. Sterling and Aughinbaugh and an interesting trial is expected. The victories of the Chinamen who have been making every effort to get rid of the cut-rate celestials hafi been the cause of much rejoicing in Chinatown, and the in- terest taken in the cases is shown by the large number of Chinamen who attend the Police Court hearings. Should Judge Mills hold the accused Chinamen for the grayd Jury when he hears the cases they wil! have to go to jail and the cut-rate businitss will be ended. This, it is thought, will end the local Chi- nese war. eee Dangerous Noxsebleed. Jacob Russ, a colored boy, was found on the avenue today, bleeding copiously at the ncse. He was taken to the Emergency Hospital, where the hemorrhage obdurately yielded to treatment and the sufferer was made as comfortable as possible. Nothing could be ascertained from him as to where he lived, his occupation or what caused his bleeding. ———— Hurt Falling Bricks. James Williams, while at work on the new engine house on Ohio avenue, was struck this morning by a pile of falling bricks.
