Perpetual motion fraud exhibit shocks Detroit readers
The Detroit Free Press reports a private exhibit at 195 Jefferson Avenue by William Glassey showcasing a supposed perpetual motion machine. The device moved without any hand input, drawing crowds and provoking debate over its authenticity as Glassey asserts the machine proves death and challenges fundamental science.

Detecting counterfeit half dollars and exposed warning signs
Counterfeiters use moulds from genuine cores and alloy blends with copper to imitate a coin’s surface. Tips warn storekeepers to check color, edge flaws, and a simple balance test to spot fake half dollars during daily transactions.
Counterfeit detection and legal case notes from 1870s era
The write up discusses silver nitrate testing for counterfeit coins and notes a 1876 dated piece as flawed, then reports a civil suit where George Van Stotten wins $2,000 against the Pittsburg Cincinnati & St Louis Railway for smoke-caused ticket denial and improper seating. It also lists a series of disasters and a royal visit anecdote with a dog in church, plus Lake Fucino drainage praise.
