FOrgeries in LynChburg, Va.
Accident to a PitIsbuTg Lawyer.
ANOTHER RESPECTABLE RASCAL.

Forgeries by n Prominent Merchant of
Lychburg.
The Lynchburg Virgtnidn of Friday last
says
itQuite sensation was created yesterday in
business circles by the detection of several
forgeries by former prominent merchant of
this city, who has been largely connected with
the trade OF Lynchburg for several years. and
who has occupied high position as a reliable
business man. We allude to Mr.. Ambrose r.
Woodruff, late of the flrm of Woodruff q Co.,
gTOcers and commission merchants. 1t seems
that on Sunday last he left the city ostensiby
to be gone few days on some private business.
Two or three days afterwards his brothers we're
surprised at receiving q letter from him
announcing briefly his purpose to sail
for Europe, never to return. No cause was
assigned. This information gave rise to suspi-
cions which resulted in the discovery that
before leaving he had perpetrsted number of
fOrgeries the full extent of which has not yet
come 10 light. It is known that most if not
all the banks and brokers of the city are suf-
ferers in various amounts. ranging it is said
from $500 up to $1,000. We have heard also
of three or four private parties who we're de-
trauded in the aggregate TO the extent of pro-
badly $4,000. There may be others in n like
pTedicament, and most probably are. AS far as
known the forgeries will, we suppose, mount
up TO something like 0,000 aud they may
exceed these figures. The father-in-law of
Woodruff, Mr.. George 7. Peasants, of Amherst
county, is the party whose name is forged"
The Lynchburg Republican of Saturday says
with regard to the forgery: extent of the
loss TO the community cannot yet be given with
any degree of accuracy, and is variOusy esti-
mated at from $50, 600 to $4,000. Mr.. Wood
ruff had in his hands very large estate belong
ing to the heirs of the late Samuel Miller, the
bulk of which was in bonds. What disposition
he made of this estate is as yet unknown, aud it
may turn out that HE securities are the heaviest
losers Of all. The names oftenest used without
authority are, we are informed, those of Messrs.
George 7. and John w. Peasants, but the
amount for which their signatures have been
used is as yet only a matter of conjecture.
There was great commotion in business circles
when the tact of these operations became
known, and the widest runors as to their ex-
tent were circulated"

A M&N.TRAP.

Death OF Promising Young Lawyer of
Pittsburg Under Distressing Circum-
stances.
The Pittsburg Commercial of yesterday
saysi--
Between and o'clock yesterday morning
the body of a man was found in Lambs coal
yard, at the West Pennsylvania Railroad cross
ing. The night police removed the body to the
Mayors cftice, where, upon Investigation, it was
discovered 10 be that Of R. i. Patterson, Esq.
The place where tue accident occurred is
complete ''man-trap," and could not be better
arranged for killing or gripping people had il
been constructed expressly for that purpose.
The coal yard is in the canal basin, and is at
least fifteen feet below the grade of the street.
Between the railroad track and Lambs coal
othce there is space of about fifteen feet,
where formerly it appears there was a fight of
stairs leading down to the coal yard, and turn
stile had been placed at the entr lce TO the
steps. Some months since the stairs or steps
were removed, leaving a precpice of about
fifteen feet on the 'turnslG left in its place for
the purpose, apparently, of inducing people to
walk into the trap; and frem the position of the
body of Mr.. Patterson when discovered, It is
quite evident that he fell over just at this point;
n and upon inquiry it appears that this is the
Il fourth accident which has occurred there within
/ year, one man having leg fractured Eand two
n others having been severely injured.
| Mr.. Patterson was at the Academy of Music
Saturday evening, and at the close of the enter
4 tainment accompanied a young lady acquaint-
J apce to her residence on Stockton avenue,
4 where he remained but few minutes before
leaving for home, so that the accident probably
occurred between eleven and twelve o'clock,
and it is the opinion of the physician who ex-
amined the body that the injuries would produce
instant death.
Mr.. Patterson was one of the most talented
| young meR at the Pttsburg bar. He was hard
student, and by close atteR tion to business had
secured very lucrative practice. He was about
thirty years of age at the time of his death

top,,were held at his late home, No S3Cottage place.
yesterday afternoon at O'Clock. There was large
attendance OF mourners, including many OF Mr..
PutnRm's associates in business.
Beyond passing allusiOn to the Sudden" death
of Nj Putnam, no reference was made in the ser
vices to the tragic nature of his fate The 200 peo
pie who assembled in front Of the house deco
rous In manner, but denounced the assassin in
earnest terms. In addition to the two cards issued
by Mr.. Putname business associates, the Antioch
BAPTIST Church, OF which Mr.. Putnam was men,
Der, has rendered a memorial OF sympathy to his
family.
The father OF Foster, a reputable, upright citizen
for many years past resident Of East Nineteenth
street. and long an extensive builder and contractor
is almost overcome by the position in which his
wild, reckless son has placed himself. He has not
spoken to him for several years, but nevertheless
will exert every influence to save him. Able counsel
have already been engaged, and the case will be
contested by them from the beginning Of proceed
ngs to day by the Coroner to the end OF the trial
before the highest court TO which the case can be
cerrled. A younger son OF Mr. Foster, employed by
drug firm down town, was one OF the party OF
Americans assaied several months ago and severely
wounded by some fanatical Spaniards in Havana for
no other Ofense than wearing neck-tes OF blue, the
Cuban national cOors.

Serious Troubles in Tennessee.
The AUaanches Little Rock despatch OF last
night says serious troubles are reported in Chicate
county, the largest negro district in the state Just
prior TO his election as Senator, Governor Clayton
appointed Senator j. W. Mason, cOared, of Chicate
county, Probate Judge, alleged, to secure his
vote for the Senatorshp; but ust the heels Of the
session Governor Clayton appointed Major Ragland,
OF Jefferson county, to that position, and under
Caytons nstTuc tons the Senate refused to take up
and act on MasOns nomination, and by that means
it was expected to get rid of him. But Mason went
home and took possession OF the oflce and the
coored men made Ragand leave the country.
To add to this the Governor recently appointed
Conway Barbour, eoloTed, lately resident OF Gin
cinnatl and member OF the House from Lafayette
as assessor OF Chicate county ignoring the claims
OF all the colOred residents in that county. This
ncensed the negroes still more, and when Barbour
went down he only remained two days. the negroes
telling him that It would be better for his health II
he made himself scarce. The negroes are reported
to be on the point OF an outbreak, and should the
Governor attempt to force these men on them there
will be trouble. Mason and Representative Wood,
colored, are now here to see the Governor on the
subject.

the forthcoming treaty between the United States

The usual weekly statement of our city ma

favorable which we have had to report for many
weeks past All the items show increased
strength The deposits are higher by 81 ,006, 529
the legal-tenders by $40 9d9, specie by Sb7, 505
and the loans by S269, 947 The latter dgure
does not exhibit the real condition of tho banks
the demand having suffered a serious falling OFF
during most of the past week. Business at the
banks has not been as large as in the preceding
week, yet more has been done than usual in tue
way of loans. Rates to-day are exceedingly
easy, and the demand both for call and time
loans very moderate.
Gold is quiet but steady at 11l1I@11195,
closing at the latter.
Government bonds were in demand and
stronger on nearly all the list.
Stocks were not very active, but universally
strong. Sales of new City 6's at l0S.
Reading Railroad was very active, selling at
55'3l@55%. Pennsylvania was steady, with
sales at 6414, eX-diy Sales of Oil Creek and
Alegbany at 5335; Camden and AmbOy at 1876;
and Lehigh Valley at 6l5SG6lI.
Canal stocks we're firm, with sales of Schuyl-
kill at S5S and Morris preferred at ll675. 35A

The balance Of the list was in good request,
but the only sale was in Fulton Coal at 555.
