Skirts Say New Quarter Dollars Have Figure Upside Down on One Side, But Are Found to be Sound Currency. Watertown, N.Y., Sept. 22.-Becanse the higure on one side happens. to be upside. down, haodreds of shiny Cana- an quarter dollars are giving trouble about town and Kt the same time creating o lot of interest in the new coins. Many believe them counterfeits and refuse them in change. A restaurant keeper found seven on eight in his till the other night and proceeded to get rid of them in a quiet way, and has since been keeping a sharp look-out for the coins, Chief of Police Baxter has heard of the suspicion the mew coin is arousing, More than one resident of Watertown gained the idea that a gang of coun terfeiters were at work flooding North- etn New York. The coin is a gi one, according, to Chief. of Police Buy. ter and others. In looking at the coin some one no- ticed that the two: sides, did not "head up" - as they had previously, that in making the quarter the die had apparently reversed. It was enough to start the story that coun terfoit. money was coming from Can- ada or was being made near here. The fact that the coin was perfect in make and design seemed to cut no figure in allaying suspicion. It is no uncommon sight now to see a man carefully examining his change to see if ho possesses one of the new quarters, and if he does a crowd is sure to gather around him to see wherein the. coin differs from the others, : Ready to Flap Wings.

With People Who Were En Route to the County Fair at Fort Wayne, Ind. Those Who Were Not Badly Hurt Gave Help to Those in Dis- tress; Fort Wayne, Ind., Sept. 22. Forty persons were killed and twenty or more iutally injured in a collision of trolley ¢ars, on the Wabash Valley line, near Aingland, yesterday about noon. 'lhe collision was between a south-bound limited and' a north-bound local car, and occurred on a short curve. Hardly any of the passengers in the two cars éncaped injury, but less seriously hurt gave what assistance they could, and within a few moments (wenty-six bod- ies, horribly mutilated, were carried to the roadside and laid along the track, Others were so pinloned in the debris that they could not be reached till wrecking crews arrived on the scene. The north-bound car was loaded with people coming to the county fair here, and among them were many women and children. What led to, the accident is mot known, but it is supposed there was a misunderstanding of orders. The ear, carrying the people to the fair, was an extra, and it is believed its position on the road was not definitely known, and the limited, running on itd own time, was not apprised of its ap proach. The curve where the wreck occurred is one of the shortest on the Wabash Valley line and there was hardly a moment after the local car was sighted before the crash came. Even the motormen on the two' ears had not time to jump. The scenes following the wreck were peculiarly pathetic, as mothers and fathers saw the mangled forms of chil dren taken from the wreckage and husband saw wife, or a wife saw a husband taken out so mangled 'that identification could not he made only from the clothes. Physicians and nurses were rushed to the scene of the wreck from this city and other places on the line and many of the injured are now in hospitals, Some of them died before medical at. tention could be given, and two died while being conveyed to the hospital. That the cars were running at a very fast rate is demonstrated by a view of the wrecked cars. After they had run into each other, the iron and wood of one could not be distinguished from iron and wood of the other. Though the wreck occurred about noon, it was after four o'clock when the last body was got out of the wreckage, Only thirty-six of the dead were identified; eighteen of them were from Bluffton and many of them were among the most wealthy class. They were going to see .the races at the Fort Wayne fair and just as the two cars met many of them were engaged in singing comic songs and cracking jokes at each other's expense. THIEVES BUSY IN HOTELS. Travellers Have Lost $100,000 in Canada This Summer, Vancouver, B.C., Sept. 23. That one of the cleversdt and boldest gangs "of: train and hotel thieves that ever gathered together has been operating at great profit. between Ashcroft and Montreal, was the statement made, to- day, by a man whose business it is to watch the doings of members of the under world. He further said that dur- ing the tourist season now drawing to a close, guests at Canadian hotels at different points across the dominion dnd travellers on transcontinental rail ways had been robbed of upwards of a $100,000 in cash and valuables by this same gang of crooks, who are es- timated to be the choice pickings of the clegerest criminal ring on the Ame rican continent.
