AN EXTENSIVE BUSINESS OPERATION
ARREST OF AN ALLEGED FoRGER-s100, 900
INvOLvED.-AbOut three years ago a German
nam ed Henry Lowe, prepossessing in his per-
sonal appearance, and with evident good busrt
ness qualifications, opened an Office in Beaver
street, and began to deal with the brokers around
in bills of exchange on the Colonial Bank of
Demarara, w. I. His credit gradually became
good, his word was law on Change, and he
found no difiultyuin securing all the funds
needed by him. One fine morning he sold
Si00, 600 IN his 4fayoEite bills on thu Colonial
Bank; received the money placed it in a C ty
bark, and in two days thereafter was non est.
His disappearance created suspicion; there
were side sgllanees and whispers among the
suited, and Mr.. Lowe was discovered to be a
forgcr. IR9bak were all bogus, and he had
made off With the proceeds.
The=frms of Won Hoffman Go, of No. 6
Hanover street, were the main sufferers, and
they notified the police of their misfortune
Detective officers DeYoe, Sampson and Smith
were selected to look after the matter, but
months rolled by4and years passed before the
least Glue could be obtained relative to the
whereabouts of the forger. At last a Capt. Pc
tiers wasi discovered to have been connected
with the affair, and he was taken into custody.
Becoming frightened, he disgorged SO 600,
but ofIsowes whereabouts he protested his ut
ter ignorance.
Detective Smith, by some means known only
to the argus eyed lockers after thieves, had
occasion to watch a house last evening at the
corner of Eighty-fourth street and Third ave-
nue.o More singular yet, he caught Mr.. Lowe
~comingfsoat of this house. That gentleman
was astonished and surprised, but gave himself
up with a good degree of noncbaLance, only
regretfing that he had not been allowed suff-
Gent time to make his exit from the world
He was locked up at, the police headquarters.
Fodrltruuks belonging to tie forger were
found ip a Grand street larger beer saloon,
where they had been taken preparatory to
shiphmeAt foof Europe. They were kept for
examinatfonn.o The accused will be taken to

01PfHERA AND ITS CURE-SIMPLE n
EFFIcAcIoUs REMEDY FOR THE DISEASE
The singular disease which has thus far seem
ed to battle the skill of our best physicians, has
become so prevalent and has been SO generally
fata,, that any suggestion in regard to its cure
will hardly prove snninteresting. Its causes
are-not known, and therefore all treatment has
heretofore been merely experimental; but its
path6gn5monic symptoms are SO diversified
and dissimilar, that in many instances the
throat Of the patient closes, and he dies before
the disease has been discovered.
The dfagnostic by which it is Known from
otherndomplaints of the throat, is the forma-
ton of a membrane which increases gradually
until the patient is literally strangled to death.
1t is, sometimes accompanied by liberation,
and extreme prostration of the entire system,
and at iothers1byi neither of these symptoms,
vet in either ease it is equally fatal To ar
lest the formation of this membrane would
therefore seem equivalent sto curing the dis
ease, and this in most instances may be done
in +lnEfoloWihg ranner:1@1s3 to'.a
In the earlier stages of the complaint, which
is aaways accompanied by a soreness and swell
T..sef'the, throat, let the patient use a simple
%,.asItion Of salt and water as a gargle, every
f teen. minutes. 4aAt the same time moisten a
,.see of flannel with a solution of the same
l;fi.. made warm as the patient can bear it,
and hind it around his throat, renewing it as
efien as the gargle is administered and in the
v,sanrfae sprinkling fine salt between the
flannel and the neck. Use inwardly some
tonfc OF stimufant, either separately, or If the
Irostration be, great, use both together. The
treatment. as may be SEEM is extremely SIM
lie and. If used in 1.-The earlier stageszot-t the
d;seassi will. effect a complete cure-Gsao."-
