An arrest was mado to-day at Shlckshlnny which promises to throw much light upon tho mystery at- tending tlio circulation of n largo amount of counterfeit money which has been set afloat In this county within tho past two months. It has long been evident that n gang of accomplished counterfeiters wcro at work. Tho district has been flooded with spurious money, both In coin and In $5 Bllvcr certificate?. In most cases tho counterfeiting was excellent. Tho arrest of Alonzo Pascaral'at Kingston with over $100 of spurious money In his possession a few days ago, it was hoped, would lead to tbo detection of tho offenders, but he would not say a word, and nothing further camo ot the arrest. Within the past three weeks a largo quantity ot counterfeit silver dollars have been put Into circulation In tho lower end of tho county and In Shlckshlnny and vicinity. Yesterday Frank Layelley, residing six miles from Shlckshlnny, Was detected pass. Ing the bogus money at Patterson Grovo camp meeting. Tho authorities wcro noti fied and to-day, when Lavclley droyo Into Shlckshlnny ha was arrested. Deputy United States Marshal Barring and Darby made tbo arrest and tho three then drovo to Lavellcy's house. A search was mado and about $80 In counterfeit dollars was found hid away, together with a complete set of dies and other tools. When they realized what had happened, his wifo and sister wero utterly prostrated and fainted away. Lavclley, who at first refused to say a word, broke down and mado a full con, fcssion, implicating a number ot others and stated that they came to hU houso and made tho coins, and be, with others, wero in tho gang for tho purposo of circulating them. Ho knew nothing about the counter. felt silver certificates. The officials will not give out further details of the confess ion, but state that they expect to mako several arrests In tho next few days. Lavelloy was committed to Jail to await trial at tho United States Court at Pittsburg. His family is a mo9t respectable one. Ho was widely known and bis friends are astounded at the discovery.

The old "optl clan" swindlers havo mado their appear anco in this'neigbborhood within the past few days.- Their modo of operation Is to ascertain who lives in certain houses, nnd after getting what Information they dcslro by quizzing somo ono In tho vicinity, they call at a placo and ask for tho lady whom they have picked out as their proy. Thero are two of them traveling together. They Introduce themselves as "Dr. Henry," or somo other name, "of the Eyo and Ear In firmary of Philadelphia." They explain their presence by saying that the family physician, whoso name they ascertain be forehand, sent them to examine tho eyes of their Intended victim, and If tho plan suc ceeds they ask as large a price for a pre tended euro as they think the case in hand wlil stand. They have been using the name of Dr. Richards, of Fallsmgton, who practices extensively In this vicinity, as tbo physician who sent them, but the doctor has no knowledge whatever of them. One of the residences visited was that of Mr. D. N. Cook. They asked for Mrs. Cook and when that lady appeared they went over the usual preamble, saying that Dr. Richards, ber family physician, had sent them to examine her eyes. Mr. Cook here appeared on tho sceno, ahd th swind lers, finding themselves foiled at tho out start, were profuse in their apologies for "intruding," saying that they had evident ly mado a mistake In tho name. As they wero not known to havo succeeded in swindling anyone In this vicinity, there was of course, no charge on which to hold them, and they wero allowed to move on.

Tho community was startled Thursday evening of last week by a shrill whlstlo an nouncing fire. It was about fifteen minutes after six o'clock.

Tho Friendship was tho first to nttach to tho plug, but their hoso not being long enough they uncoupled nnd tho Winona's attach- Inug to tho plug tho Friendship coupled to their hose, nnd then tho firo was reached1 When tbo water was turned on it was found that tho distance of tho plug from the firo was bo ercat that n stream could not be thrown upon the burning building. Tho firo companies Immediately abandoned tho burning building and turned to save tho lumber. Had a plug been located near tho building or more pressuro been upon tho mains thero is no doubt but that the buildings wltb tho finished work might havo been saved. Tho firo originated near tho cngino In tho machlno shop anu is sup posed to have been from an explosion near tlio dipping p n whero the Iron was Jap. paned. The watchman was In the holler house, and when tho explosion occurcd, opend the door leading Into the machlno shop to see tho cause, tho room wasj so filled with smoke that ho was obliged to close tho door at once.

Washington, D. 0., Bcpt 8, 1888. Speaker Carlisle has gone to Virginia to mako Bcvcral speeches. Mr. Blount, of Georgia, has been elected Speaker pro tcm. to act during Mr. Carlisle's absence Representative McCrcary, from tho Com- mlttco on Foreign Affairs, has reported to tho Houso tho bill conferring upon the President tho authority for which bo asked in his message on tho rejection of tho fish cries treaty. The bill will be called up to morrow, and will bo passed thts week, as tho Republicans aro afraid to oppose it. Representative S. S. Cox, who has just returned to tho city, is very sanguine of victory for Cleveland, Thurman and tariff reform. Ho said: "Thero will bo trouble about Cleveland's carrying New York. Tho outlying States New Jersey and Connecti cutmust bo looked after. I do not know how It is thcic. People have been talking about somo antagonism to Mr. Cleveland among tho New York Democrats. Now, down In tho lower part of the city, with which I am somewhat associated, they aro all right for Cleveland, and they aro straight on tariff reform. I havo not the least doubt about Cleveland carrying tbo State." Mr. Cox also believes that Mr. Blalno's speeches havo mado many votes for Cleveland, and tn this belief he Is by no means alone, many Republicans share it. The House Committee on Manufactures are engaged in making an Investigation Into tho cotton-bagglng trust Thoy may decldo tn favor of tho bill which Senator Reagan has introduced in the Senate to break down tho trust by putting tbo bag. glng on tho treo list. Chairman Barnum, of the National Com, mitto was here two days last week. He reports everything as moving smoothly at the committee's headquarters, and says: 'Wo are bound to win this time." Tho Republican Senators have at last reached nn agreement, through tho action of a sllmly attended caucus, on their tariff bill. They will leave tho lumber duty as it is, and also tho wool duty, except tho addi tion of ono cent per pound on tbo flno grades oi wool; sugar will ho cut W per cent. Thero aro rumors to the effect that no attempt will bo mado to do moro than report this substitute for the Mills bill, and then adjourn. The foundation for these rumors seems to bo the absence of several Senators, who wero in tne city from tho caucus. Chief among the absentees were Senators Ingalls and Plumb, both ot whom aro known to bo bitterly opposed to any cut In tbo sugar duty, and It Is said that their Republican colleagues know that these men will never vote for a bill reducing tho duty on sugar one-half, and tbcrctoro they will not attempt to pass tho bill for fear of failure. However, as tbo bill will bo re ported on the 10th Instant, it tbo caucus programme Is followed, we shall havo not long to wait to find out what tho Republi cans propose to do. Unofficial news has reached hero of tho rejection of the new Chineso Govcrnmtnt, Perhaps they expect a hotter ono If Harrison should be elected, and hao concluded to wait and sec. Senator Coko expressed tho general opinion among the Democrats In Congress when he said, speaking ot tho matter, ' 'Congress can regulato this question of Chinese immigration by legislation. which will chop them right off short." No regrets aro expressed over the rejection of tho treaty because, it is believed, that legislation is after all the bost remedy.

Tho Bishops of tho Methodist Episcopal Church havo decided that the radical modi fication of tho Itinerant system resolved up on by tbo National Conference of last May shall not be delayed. Tho action then tak en was to permit a minister to remain In ono pastorato five years, instead of only three. Thero was a general feeling ;ln the denomination favorablo to an extension of the term, but when the Confcrcnoe came to discuss the proposition a powerful oppo sition was developed. Singularly, this did not como from lay delegates, but from somo of the most Influential of tho clergymen, who urged that a fundamental principle of Methodism would be Just so far abandoned as any chango was made. The question was referred to a commltte ot thirteen, of whom eight reported In favor of prolonging the term to four years; but the minority advised five, and the confer enco sustained the latter report. Tho Blsh ops have now ruled that tho amendment of the discipline took effect upon its passage, and therefore Methodist pastors throughout the country will not have their usual dis turbance next spring. However, It re mains optional with the presiding ciders to transfer pastors eyery tbreo years, as bcforo If the good' of tho service seems to demand it But a pastor may bo left in one pulpit five years out ot ten, if his elder thinks best, and those flvo years may bo alternate or consecutive. Tho talk at the Methodist Book Concern is that tbo practical effect ot the new law will be to leavo nearly the cntlro Methodist clergy unmoved next spring.
