The Moral of the Moral.
The persistency with which children
see some other moral in a fable than the
one which it is intended that they shall
see is often distressing, and sometimes
really instructive to their elders.
A mother had recited to her little boy
me story of the wolf and the lamb, and
followed it tip with the remark : -
"And now you see, Willy, that the
lamb would not have been eaten by the
wolf if he had been good and sensible. "
"Yes, I understand, mamma," said
Willy. "If the lamb had been good and
sensible, we should have had him to
eat!" Youth's Companion.

An Organized Gang Kun Down by
Secret Servioe Agents.
COTOTEEPEITIHG OUTFIT SEIZED.
Roamanian Jews Who Have Been Mann,
factaring; Half Dollars, Quarters and
Dimes and Flooding This Section of the
Country with the Spurious Coin.
Philadelphia, Oct. 3 One ot the most
gigantic schemes of counterfeiting known
to the United States secret service bureau
has just been unearthed by its officers, and
the ringleaders of a daring band of coiners
captured.
Chief W. B. Hazen tod Secret Service
Officer William J Bnrns came quietly
into this city yesterday afternoon, and
with them a prisoners were two men giv
ing the ; names of vHenry Greenberg and
Julius Stein. They were brought here be
cause this city has been used as one of the
headquartefs of the band. About a week
ago five men were arrested here in con
nection with the case, and are now under
bail pending a hearing.
For two or three months past the bureau
has been in receipt of complaints from
various parts of the eastern country con
cerning the prevalence of spurious coin,
mainly half dollars, quarters and dimes,
mads of pure silver.
Chief Hazen and Officer Burns im
mediately set quietly to work on the case,
and the first result of their investigations
was the arrest of the men here. They gave
the names of Max Frankel, Moses Rosen
garten, Jacob Friedman, Jacob Fineburg
and Frank Silberman, all of this city.
It waslquickly learned that these men
were only part of an organized gang work
ing throughout the country, and the dis
position of their cases was held in abey
ance until the leaders could be taken. This
was accomplished yesterday .
The information which led up to the ar
rest of Greenberg, who was captured in
New York on Tuesday, pointed to Landis
ville, N. J., as one of the principal operat
ing places, and there they found in the
cellar of a house an entire coiners' outfit.
It was learned that the house had been
rented by one Jacob Stein, and he was
traced to Newark,! N. J., where he was
arrested.
The evidence secured by the bureau re
veals a conspiracy unrivalled outside the
realms etthe dime novel. The band, so
far as has been learned, was composed of
about twenty, and possibly more men,
They were banded together by a series of
iron clad and solemn oaths. Names were
discarded, and every conspirator was
known to the others by a number only.
Each man was assigned a special territory
in which to dispose of the coin.
Upon the arrest of the five men in Phila
delphia -recently, the other conspirators
fled, and although the arrest of Greenberg
and Stein disposed of the most dangerous
members of a dangerous band, there are
still others to be captured, and they will
probably land in the net of the law with
in a few days.
The men are all Roumanian Jews, and
have not been in this country for any
great length of time. They are a sturdy
looking lot, all big and full-bearded, with
the exception of Friedman.
A peculiar feature of the case is that
after the men had been arrested intorma-
tion concerning their operations was fur
nished the United States officials : here by
a man calling himself David Fierstein, of
Landisville, N. J., who w;s implicated in
the matter himself . It is thought that he
and Stein are one and the same person. .
The principal witness acrainst these men
was Kave Reisser, a Russian tailor, who
swore that he was taken by Silberman to
a house on Washington avenue, below.Sev
enth, where they met Friedman J Rosen
garten and Fineburg.' They showed him .
a satchel full of dies, to be used in making
coin, and offered to let him into the con
spiracy if he would pay t bom $200. Repaid
the money, and they then took' him to a
house in Darby, Pa., where he saw the
presses, dies and other, paraphernalia usedk
in making the coins. He placed two pieces
of silver in the press and iiiade two ten
cent pieces.
Fierstein's story is that Rosengarten,
Friedman and a man named Brafc were
brought to his house last July by Reisser.
They wanted him to ,go into partnership
with them, and asked him to allowthem
the use of his cellar to make the coins. He
said he would rent it to them and they
went away, j)romising to write, but, he
says, they never did so. Afterwards a
meeting was arranged foi in this city, but
as the others had no money ; Fierstein
pawned his wife's watch for 820, and with
this the goods were packed and the 'dies'
and other materials sent to the Landisville
house. ' : "
More Counterfeiters Caught.
New York, Oct. 5. Another big haul of
counterfeiters has been made by the agents
of the government, secret service. Six
Italians were arraigned before United
States Commissioner Alexander yesterday

having in their possession a number ot
counterfeit standard silver dollars and ob
ligations of the United States in the form
of silver citiflcates of the denomination of
15, of the issue of 18S6. The officers re
covered $150 in counterfeit coin and $75 in
$5 bills and a quantity of plaster of paris,
metal and other material used in making
spurious coin. . .

Precipitated to the Cellwr by the Break

Lorain, O., Oct. 7. While a great
crowd of people was assembled yesterday
afternoon to witness the laying of the cor
ner stone of the new St. Mary's Catholic
church a temporary floor on which many .
of the people were standing suddenly gave
vnav tMiovM nl f I n fe.n n n im an nrnman fa. ft A '
children into the basement. One was
killed outright, ten were fatally injured
and between thirty, and- forty others were
badly hurt.
The services wre just about, to begin
when the accident httppened. Fully- 3,000
eons were assembled on and around the
platform,, which had been constructed
across the foundation of the edifice. . The
boardi forming the temporary : floor had
been laid acros the joists, which were sup
ported in the middle by upright poets.
These supports broke, and the floor went
down with a crash. Fully 300 people were
thrown into the pit formed by the sagging
in of the middle of the floor.
For a moment everybody was paralyzed
by the calamity, but soon there "was a rush
forward by those willing to lend assist
ance to the crushed and struggling people.
This made matters worse, for fifty more
persons were crowded into the hole upon
those who went down with the floor.
When the confusion had subsided some
what, many of those who were able to ex
tricate themselves did so by walking and
crawling over their less fortunate compan
ions. The rescue was begun at once, and
all were finally taken from the pit. Fol
lowing is a list of the billed and wounded:
Killed Mary Weber, af years old, daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Weber, of
Sheffield.
Fatally Injured Rosa McGee, 3 years
old,' skull fractured; Katie Griffin, 3 years

broken; John Eustin, back hurt; Mrs.
M. Bruce, ankle broken; William Ryan
leg broken.
Many others were severly bruised.
The old Catholic church and parochial"
.school were at once turned into hospitals.
A score of doctors were called, and they
were kept busy for hours caring for the-
injured, several of whom will die. ,
The accident was due to defective tim
bers. The contractor was told on Satur
day that the platform was insecure, but he
said that it would hold all the people that
could be erowded upon it. There were be
tween i,50Q and 2,000 people on it when it .
gfrve way. Despite the accident the ser
vices were continued and the laying of the
corner stone was completed.
