Jeaxra Waive, formerly of West Cbea
tei, who for quite a while past ha been en
gaged in the business commonly known aa
' shoving the queer," ha at last reached
tbe end of his career. He wa in league
with a band of counterfeiter, who were en
gaged tn the manufacture of bogn note
on tbe Hanover National Bank. Walton'
business, it seems, aaa to put thia money in
circulation, and he aiiccessfully passed a
quantity of these notes upon tradesmen and
other in various parts of the country. In
Media, one day in December last, it will be
remembered, he passed several notes of
this bank, which were not discovered until
he left town. Word was telegraphed to tbe
officer at West Chester, where Walton waa
supposed to be, but be kept himself shady,
and finally slipped off. But the United
States Secret Service officer got on hi
track, aud followed bim with that p.tience
and diligence for which they aie proverbial,
and on the 2d insU they caught him at the
German town junction depot in Philadelphia.
He was easily recognized from the fact that
one band coutained but two Angara, which
gained for him tbe cognomen of "two fin
gered Joe " A long term in the United
States prison will probably be Joseph's fate
