EIGIIT DAYS IN THE CALORIMETER.
Mr. Smith sum His Tentpsralurs by Filing a
Place of Iron. .
A. M. Smith has been eight days in
the ”calorimeter at Wesleyan, Middle-
town. Part of this time he has spent in
hard muscular labor and part in hard
brain work. Yesterday morning he was
well and hearty, and said that he had
decided to remain in the box until Satur-
. day morning. He was busy in filing
away shard piece of iron, and as a rc-
sult of his work the record of his tem-
perature showed ndccidcd rise and the
heat generated by his exertions had
caused a moisture to collect on the COP!“
per sides of his apartments. The calori-
meter is lined on the inside with copper,
the next shell or lining is zinc and the
outside is of yellow pine closely match-
ed. All the air is sent in through a
froercr which removes all the moisture
and is later warmed by passing through
apipe where an electric light is kept
constantly burning. All the air that is
expelled is drawn out of the cage
through pipes in which are chemicals,
which will collect the carbonic acid gas
and other ingredients. There are two
sets of these pipes, so that a compara-
tive analysis may be made. Over 200
sheets of foolscap have been used so far
in making records of the experiment,
and by the tune Smith comes out most
probablythe number will be over 300.
Smith eats heartily, sleeps well and will
no doubtbeable to complete the time
that he has set for his confinement.

Iorvloo Onoors Planted—Caught as Last
at His I... la ,l'lagsowa.
N“! You, April 1—thny onset
the most Important captures that have been
enacted by tho sures ssrvlos onioers for
many months was the arrest of Euianuol
Singer of Flagtown. N. .l., who sinus left
has been flooding the country with “pan
and Ink" oountsrfolts.
For the past ten years the government
unicorn have been aware that the counter
falter was bloated somewhere near this
clty. but all efforts tolocats him heretofore I
have failed.
The oounterfsltor's handiwork was so
peculiar that there was no chance of con-
founding it with other had money. The
bills were the most dangerous known to
the government officials and a large num-
ber of them passed through banks and
subtronsuriss and rsschod the redemption
division at Washington before their real
character was discover-ad.
The notes, which were for "0. .20, 050
and stop each. were made with pen. pen-
cll, black ink, carmlne. blue and green
pigments and parchment paper.
They were perfect lmltatlons of good
bllls, and it required a government expert
to any that they were false.
The clearing up of the mystery as to the
Identity of the author of these “pen and ‘
ink" countsrfelts has been a seemingly
unsolvahle task. ‘
The man who has been such a puzzle to L
the shrewdest detectives for so many yous 1
passed as a plain farmer. 1
Saturday night a man who gave his l
name ifs Joseph Gilbert attempted to pass ,
a .60 hill at the saloon at it? Cortlandt ‘
street. The bartender became suspicious
and had Gllbert arrested.
Farmer From \l’llkosbarro.
Gilbert explained that he was a farmer .
from \l‘ilkosbarre, Pa, and had come to E
town to sell some government bonds and 1
near the Union Trust company‘s building
had met a stranger, who bought one of
the bonds from him and paid for It with
the $50 bill. I
The secret service ofllcluls at. Wilkos- l
barre reported that no such person as Gll- :
bert ll“ there. i
As .. ' rt was not believed to ho thel
pontoon, the prosecution was apparently I
abandoned and Gilbert was discharged I
from the Cantor street police court on i
Monday morning.
Detectives Esqulroll. Flynn. Hazon and
Owen, however, followed him to the cot- ’
tage occupied by Emanuel Singer at Flau- g
town, N. J. Gilbert and Singer were l
ldcntlcal.
When the arrest was made, the house 2
was searched and the counterfeiter's vcst
pocket outfit. parchment paper, designs .
and water colors were found, together with i
an unfinished greenback which had been I
hidden away.
Nlnger. alias Gilbert, admitted that he
was the "pen and Ink" counterfcltcr who
had so long defied the law. He explained
that he had used the plgments to complete
the bill after he had done the vignettes,
letters, figures and tracing Work In black .
ink. The cat-mine made the seal, the blue
the numbers and the green the back of
the notes.
During the 20 years he had been operat-
Iug he had produced about 75 greenbacks
in all, and on the proceeds had supported
his family, purchased the little farm for
81,500 and bad about 08,000 in bank.
A Grocery Clerk In Germany.
He Was a grocery clerk at Prinn, Gcr- l
many, and there studied drawing. Corn:
ing to this country, he took up a resldenoe
in this city, but afterward went. to live at ,
Hoboken, N. .l., whence he tnoved four !
years ago to Flugtown.
Nlnger said that be first copied a gen- ,
nine government bill for pleasure, and tho ‘
work was donb so well that afterward '
when he ran out of funds be decided to ;
pass the counterfeit. '
He had no trouble in doing so, and from ‘
that time out devoted his time entirely to I
the making of the “pen and ink" green-
hacks. To make a first class imitation of
a UIUU blll took him 20 days. and he work-
ed from three to four hours a day.
All the counterfeits he passed In this
city. He was never in the south and west, =
where at timos his bills were found.
He last visited this city about Christ-
mas time and returning home modo eight
bills. Six of these were 8520 notes and the
remaining two $50 each.

nar dsl Rio and lei-nth Clara by tho Insur-
gents. who occupied them several hours
and left than In Homes. is a more blow to
tho ripest-h armies. llow severe may ho 7
judged by the fact that General Luis Ma-
rla Panda and General Alvaro Suarez Val-
dos, the mllltary governors of tho destroy-
ed clues. have been ordered to return to
Spain by Captain General Woyh-r.
The captain general is himself badly
worried over the situation. He thought he
had Pinar dol lie so strongly guarded that
it was absolutely impossible for Macao's
forces to break in. But in the middle of
the night they mono, rc-enforcad by men
from the Bermuda oapodltlon, and liter-
allly laid the town In ashes.
0f several hundred residences not more
than a couple of dtnen warn left uninjured.
The Spanish government suppressed all
news of the invasion. They Were inform-
ed of the disaster by holiograph slgnala,
but the secret was carefully guarded.
For days the government officials have
denied absolutely that any fight had oc»
curt-d, but. now they admit that Macao
succeeded In destroying a few lluusca.
Still, howavcr they may deny that any
Spanish wore killed and claim a great. .
number of rebels slain, the fact Is that‘
Macao made a slaughter house of the city.
and nearly wiped It out of existence.
Details have been brought to llavana by
a letter sent through friend-t of the loans
gents. The letter says that as soon as liar-
cla and-the remainder of the Bermuda cx~ “
pedltlon had landed a consultation: was
held, and it was decided to attack lnmuv
diatoly. A forced march of in miles to
the south brought the insurgents close to
Plunr del Rio. They waited ut‘ll dark
and then pressed forward into the town.
Spunlsh Sentinels (lu-rcolne.
The Spanish sentinels north of the out-
skirts of the city were surprised and men
come. The first that the Spanish garrison
knew of the attack was when the gatllng
and beta lss guns, trained on the town
by Amerl n urtillcrymen, drove a hall of
bullets into the buildings.
The Spanish soldiers were panic strick-
en. ’l‘hey dashed out of tho hospital, which .;
served as their quarters, and ran wildly,
through the streets. The Spanish officers ,
gallantly tried to hold the men In check, 1
but it. was a inopelsss‘tusk.
'l'he Insurgents, to the number of 3.000,
entered the town and proceeded to apply .
the torch. In a few minuts flames were
leaping up on every side. Ono party of
rebels, shooting Into the houses, torrorlrcd
tho Inhabitants and kept them Indoors.
A notltor party went, for the garrison and
secured nearly every box of ammunition ‘
stored thorn. They also captured many
rifles, machutcs and revolvers, which will
be of great service to the rcbols.
The insurgents had things their own ‘
way for over an hour, at tho and of which
than the Spanish otlicers succeedcd In
getting their troops together and made a
charge Into the town. .
’l'hen followed a hand to hand contest
between the troops and the rebels. T
Seeing that the soldiers had rcgalncd
their senses and that all possible dnnmga
‘ had been Infllcted, Macao and Garcia or-
dered a retreat. _
Within 15 minutes from the time of giv-
log the order there was not a living rebel
in the town.
