COUNTERFEITS
ARRESTS ON STEAMER NEW YORK, September 25. Four men went to the liner Bremen toward midnight, half an hour before the time fixed for the vessel to sail for Europe, and offered to buy small articles form the crew, preferring what purported to be 10 and 20 dollar hills in payment. A cook suspected that the paper was counterfeit money and called two firemen belonging to the ship. The firemen overpowered three of the men, but the fourth escaped. One of the captured men offered a thousand-del]ar hill for his freedom, arid then endeavured to tear up a pile of bills with a face value of many thousands of dollars. ' The police ultimately took the three men in charge.
