COUNTERFEITERS ARRESTED tlM Secret Service Take la a (kaf that la Believed to Have Given the GovWashington', Aug. 15.—Information has been received by Chief Wilkie of the secret service of the arrest, at Detroit, Mich., of a gang <ft counterfeiters whose operations have given the government considerable trouble. They are Charles. Edward and David Johnson, at *{3? Twenty-seventh street, from which, through the efforts of Secret Operative Webb, the department has secured all of the important paraphernalia used by the men. Charles and Edward were arrested.on Friday, on the charge of passing counterfeit quarters, and this was followed, Saturday, by the arrest of David and a search cf the premises where the counterfeiters' outfit was secured. Chief WUkle Regards the Arrest as Most Important, as he identified the men wi ;h the issue of the Hancock and Windont two-do liar counterfeits, which have been circulated freely in the west and also in the east during the last eight years. At the headquarters of the gang the officials secured the face and back plates from which the Hancock counterfeit was made, and the plates for making the large and small seals on these bills, j Th* Hancock and Window Counterfeits. There were also taken 50 $3 Hancock and 50 $3 Windom bills, the latter being regarded as the best all-round counterfeit that had made its appearance up to the discovery of the $100 sii- l ver certificates in the spring of last!

year. Treated the Note* with Glycerin*. The men treated these notes with glycerine before they were put out, which gave them the appearance ol haring been in use for some time, aud made their detection almost an impossibility. The Hancock $b counterfeit appeared first in the west in 1890, and later in the east. The discovery of it caused the government to recall the issue and replace it with the Windom no:e of sirniliar denomination in December, 1S9J. Other Counter felts Chargeable to the Usug. A counterfeit of this issue was discovered in 1894, and its appearance is chargeable to the gaug which has just been apprehended. The bureau officials at Detroit hope to secure the plate from which the notes arc printed. Charles Johnson, who is said to be at the head of the gang, is about 73 years of age, and, according to the statements of the secret; service ( officers, has spent considerable time in * prison for counterfeiting.

The Official* Connect the Juhasu s Family. > one of the brothers of which, Thomas : R-, is dead, with the issue of a number ! of counterfeits that hare appeared from time to tithe, including the f5 Jackson legal tender, the $33 : legal tender of 1863, and the IT* Grant | silver certificate of 1888, besides the jounterfeit of some issues of Ctinadiaa notes The officials believe they have a clear case against the elder brother and strong suspicions regarding the guilt of the younger one.
