Nicholas Polltz, Grocer and Liquor Dealer, and Walter SUvy, a Youth, Placed In ! Jail for Maklnf Spurious Coin.; j Hearing To-day. The Star mentioned some weeks ago mat tnere were evidences of- systematic ; counterfeiting business being carried on in the city, and ves- terday there were developments which A 1X.1 , . .. iu coTrecmess or tne sur mise. ! special -Operator Perry, of the U. S. Secret service Bureau, as sisted by the local authorities early yesterday morning arrested and placed in jail Walter Silvy, a young white man of about 18 years of age, and Nicholas Politz, a Greek grocer and liquor dealer, on Front street, charging them with the grave offence of viola ting theU.lS. laws in this particular. Jttr. ferry came to the city about ; about a week ago and immediately set to work; on the case. The first clue to il . !3 i'i : m ii . . iuB luenuiy or ine counterieiters was secured -from a number of saloon keepers, who made complaint that daily their slot machines were filled with spurious five cent nieces. He quietly kept up his search for the origin of the coin and at last located Silvy. No: arrest immediately fol lowed, from the fact that an announce ment of Mr. Perry's presence here wouia irustrate au plans xor tne cap 1 1 m i a ,m ture of other parties, whom it was be lieved and afterwards developed, were operating on a much larger scale. Thursday Mr. Perry had collected all the evidence he deemed necessary and between one and two o'clock yes terday morning, he, in company with Constable Sheehan and Captain of Police Furlong, went to the home of Silvy on Harnett street, between Ninth and Tenth,; and arrested Silvy. who disclaimed any knowledge of counter feiting whatsoever. Mr. Perry ex- i plained to him that he was fully in possession of facts- warranting the ar rest and that he had best turn over his counterfeiting apparatus, which he af terwards did. ilia outnt consisted or four ill pro- vised moulds for making five cent pieces, a bag and tin box containing 800 of the spurious coins, a metal pot. ladle and about fifteen pounds of pewter. The coins manufactured were rather rudej in appearance and both sides had the same imprint that of the "Goddess of Liberty.'? The friends of Silvy claim that technically con sidered tms does not constitute a counterfeit from the fact that the coins are not an imitation of regular specie. Arrest of folltz. When Silvy had been placed in jail, Mr. Perry,! with his associates, rested until about 5 o'clock yesterday morn ing. Accompanied by the Deputy Marshal, Constable Sheehan and Captain of Police Furlong, he then visited Politz's store, nearly op posite Front' street market house, as Politz was comine down to open the store. ' "' Mr. Perry suggested to him that he had probably been duped by a set of slick swindlers and that he, as an officer, wished to make an examina tion of his cash on hand. Politz readily assented, opening his safe to the officers, and showing them through. !aU apartments of the safe were examined, with the exception of a private locker, which Politz claimed contained no money. Mr. Perry then aemanaea an examination oi ue con . . 1 t . jl tents, which with reluctance was given. j . In the locker was found a bag con taining f 58 in counterfeit com of the ; dollar denomination. " A search of the rear of the store was then made and two boxes, carefully nailed ud.! were found to contain i a comnlete counterfeiting outfit, with metals for the manufacture. The apparatus consists of a small gasoline furnace, with a miniature bellows for affording a uniform heat, made by a Philadelphia firm ; a polish- ishing machine . or burnisher usually used bv dentists for the manufacture of false teeth, altered to suit the coun terfeiter's purpose, made by a dental machinery manufacturing company, of Buffalo, N. Y. ; about twenty pounds of antimony, a metal used for many purposes; several ladles; about twenty-five small earthen .vessels for holding molten metals, and a quantity of scrap German silver and malleable tin, that appeared to have been pur chased of a badge manufacturing com pany. ' Among his papers were found a bill from a Baltimore house made out to N. Politz for the antinfony, and a bill from Jacob Grinninder, ot Baltimore, for ten pounds of German silver at twenty cents per pound, and two and three-fourths pounds of scrap silver at sixty cents per pound. Politz has retained Messrs. Bellamy & Bellamy, Hon. Jno. D. Bellamy and. A. J. Marshall, Esq., as nis counsel. He was seen at the jail y esterday, but acting under advice of his counsel he would not! talk of the offence charged against him. Silvy also would not talk, but his friends say that the extent of his work has been with the slot machine men and does not amount to much. ' Politz is comparatively a young man. and was recently married. He has been in Wilmington a number of years and appeared to be doing a good business. He was formerly a clerk at a?ff fli-ftnt times with several of the ORNING WJLLMUNmuJN, IN. C, SATURDAY, MAY 20, . m r-wm. -r -si' . t .: . . fruit and confectionery stores on Front street. He is a member of : a "number of the fraternal orders of the city; and is a man of some nronertv. " He had recently let the contract for the build ing of a handsome residence and work had already commenced on the build ing.': ' I ' :. :-.:t- . After the arrest yesterday; several creditors became uneasy and instituted proceedings for judgments, but upon ascertaining that his liabilities were few and that ; there were amnle uro. ' visions for the payment of all his debts, tbese, for the most part were withdrawn, i j - . Silvy is a youth well known about the city, and i was emnloved at the Wilmington Iron Works. His asso ciates became aware that he was in the counterfeiting business, and Mr. Perry was furnished by a number of them with facts which led up to the arrest. Thej whereabouts of the, ap paratus was also furnished Mr. Perry by an intimate: friend of SilvjCs. Late yesterday afternoon MrTPerry took Politz again to his store and made a search for the moulds, which were not discovered yesterday morning, but they were not found. : j Both prisoners will be given a hear ing before XJ. S. Commissioner S. P. Collier at 2.30 o'clock this afternoon, m tne United States court room, and if they are; bound over to court, they will be taken to a photographer and their pictures taken," according to the custom of the Secret .Service Bu reau. : I j - ! - H I Mr. Perry has performed an exceed ingly clever piece of detective work in ferretting out i the criminals, andibut for the necessity of his presence at other places,! he would probably re main in the jeity longer for the detec tion of other sources of counterfeit coin, which are said to exist. Politz is said to have made a trip to Baltimore last Fall and it is supposed that while on his visit there he secured his outfit for the illegal j work he has been carrying on. A I telegram was found in his possession ; from a noted counterfeiter in Savannah, Ga., who nad evidently, been captured and was asking for help. The clue which led a confidant of his, who before the ar rest placed Mr. Perry in possession of a ladle and metal, taken from Politz 's private apartments. ; BASE BALL SEASON OPENED. The "A. C. L.s" Victorious Yesterday by Score of 3 to 1 It Was a Good Game. The first game of the season between the old rival; teams Q. A. N. and A. C. L. was called at 4 o'clock sharp yester day afternoon by Mr. Warren S. John son as umpire' and Mr. J. V. isideood assistant. II 1 - The O. A. N. won the toss and chose the field. As Watson stepped in the box there was a look of satisfaction on the faces of the numerous spectators, who had gathered to urge their favor ites on to victory. The ladies, as usual, were on hand, wearing the red and blue of the A. C. L. or the black and orange of the O. A. N. I From the time the first ball was tossed over the pan unlimited enthusiasm prevailed, until at 5.10 sharp the last man was put out and the umpire declared the A. C. L. victorious by a close score of 3 to 1. The game: was full of brilliant plays and each player deserves mention. The battery work I of Watson and Zellers for O. A. Nl iand Sweeney and Tilly for A. C. ti. was exceptionally fine. Sinclair, with his wit and humor, was conspicuous as usual ; as was also the famous Coxy Graham, who is well re membered by lovers of the sport as an al coacher The boys were particularly glad to see a good attendance at this the first game of the ' season, and hope to have the encouragement of all lovers of the sport for the balance of the season, as they promise good clean ball.

Joe Smith, colored, arrested by the police Wednesday night, was - sent to jail by Justice Fowler yesterday in de fault of two bonds of $100 each for his appearance at Criminal Court. Smith was recently discharged from the work house, where he served a term for larceny, the prosecuting witness at court being Alice Waters. When dis charged his first impulse was to get revenge upon the Walters woman for testifying freely in the case, and on Sunday night : he visited her house in "Brooklyn" and made a murderous assault upon the woman with a stick of wood. This concluded, he jerke d a clock from the mantle, some articles of bed clothing from the house and departed. He was held yesterday to answer the charge of larceny and of assault and battery with a deadly wea pon. A third case against , him for carrying concealed weapons , was dismissed.;- "' i?j J.

Highly Creditable Closing Ex ercises yere Held Yester day Forenoon. AN INFORMAL RECEPTION. Interesting Programme in Assembly Room. Excellent Exhibit of Class Work. Testimonial to Mr. Post .Prom ; ; Faculty Other Notes. The closing exercises of Hemenway public school yesterday were attended by many friends and patrons and quite an interesting programme was very successfully rendered. All the forenoon the rooms of the various grades of the school .were open to'visitorSi who greatly admired the remarkably creditable display of work, principally jjdra wings of maps historical and. . geographical object lesson drawings,! demonstrations of mathematical problems, etc ,- which were neatly arranged on the walls about the class rooms. Every one pronounced the j exhibits excellent, convincing testimonials of the effi ciency of the faculty in charge and the application atfd proficiency of the pupils. ' -, Informal Reception. During the forenoon, while the class rooms were beingj inspected the Balti more String Band, through the cour tesy of Mr. Jas. Fj. Post, Jr , who ren ders such invaluable services to the public schools as chairman of the school committee for district No. 1, was stationed ia the central hallway and discoursed ' delightful music. Superintendent Jno. J. Blair and the members of the two school com mittees were present, and the occa sion was really a sort of informal re ception. The committeemen are as follows: ' I District No. t Jas. F. Post, Jr., (chairman), Mr. R. J. Jones and "Mr. E. Borden. j District No. 2 iJas. H. Chadbourn, Sr., (chairman), Capt. W. R. Kenan and Mr. Samuel Northrop. Well Rendered Programme. At 12 o'clock tfre pupils of the sev eral rooms, together with the visitors, assembled in the' hall on the second floor, where quite an enjoyable enter tainment was rendered under the di rection of Superintendent Blair. The exercises were opened with the sing ing of "The Star Spangled Banner" by the whole school, including the pupils of the Hemenway annex, who were present in! a body as a part of the Hemenway School. Three bright I' children, Marsden Smith, May White and Deborah Shrier rendered; quite creditably a dialogue entitled! 'The Sick Baby." ' There was a song, 'IDarling you're a naughty Girl," by Annie Banks, This was followed by three well ren dered recitations The first was "A Boy's Belief," by Jerome Waxaman. The next was "FJye Little Squirrels," by five bright little children from the primary department, of which Miss Kate Johnson is the teacher. The other two recitations were "Monsie's Misfortune," by fWilder Farrow, and "I Love My Dolly," by Ray Love. "Woman's Rights" was a well ren dered song in Which quite a number of pupils were the participants. The Baltimore string band rendered an appropriate' selection. "A Little Mouse," was sweetly recited by Bettie Schulken. If The effects of f gossip" was well im pressed upon the minds of tne chil dren and grown-up people as well by a dialogue, in which quite a number of pupils were the participants. The dialogue showed the marvellously rapid and distorted growth of a simple and inoffensive statement when given to "Madame Rumor" by a well-meaning person. i "A Revolutionary Tea" was quite a well rendered song by twenty-five or more pupils,- and was followed by an interesting selection, "A Child's Com plaint," by Arthur Lewis. , A number of the children of the lower grades ac quitted themselves quite creditably in their rendering of "The Children's Hour," which was very well received. Edna Myers was heartily applauded for a charming rendition of "A Foolish Little Maiden," as were a bevy of five children for their recitation of "A Tale of Woe." i Snpt. Blair's Talk. At the conclusion of a creditable re citation, 'The Barefoot Boy," by Al bert Beach, Superintendent Blair ad dressed the pupils and patrons, ex pressing to the visitors the apprecia tion of himself and the faculty for their presence. !;He also referred ap- prcciauveiy tu me uearty support . 1 - , 1 ' . - 1 . which he has received at the hands of teachers, pupils, patrons and the school committee men.! Present to Mr. Post. Ia the midst of Supt. Blair's address a box was handed him by one of the pupils.; It contained a handsomely bound set of Shakespeare's works, and he was requested to present the set to Mr. James F. Post,, Jr., as token of the appreciation of the faculty of, the school for Mr. Post's self-sacrificing "efforts in -the interest of the school while serving gra tuitously as temporary superintendent of the schools during- the first term, from October to January, the inter val between the) resignation of Prof. M. C. S. Noble and the coming of Super intendent Blair. Accompanying the gift was an appropriate letter signed by the teachers and addressed to Mr. Pest.- ,; ; r - -r : Prof. Blair made a very graceful presentation , speech and Mr. Post ac cepted the gift, in a few modest and quite appropriate remarks.
