BOGUS BOND SWINDLE.
An Extensive SWindling Operation Of
Six Months Ago Just Brought
TO Light.


NEW YORK, November 81 special
from Newport, Rhode Island says that
the following swindling operations came
to light in that city tonight. About six
months ago a man called on Olivel
Reed, wealthy broker in that city, and
requested him 10 purchase seventeen
thousand dollars worth of Central Pa
cific Railroad zen per cent income bonds.
Reed told him that he would not pur-
chase, but that he would sell them foI
eDe and a half per cent. The man con-
sented, and Reed Immediately Forward
ed them 70 Fisk d Hatch, New York,
for them to sell for him.
In due time Read received a telegram
from Fish & Hatch, stating that they
had succeeded in dIspOsing Of the bonds,
and had placed the proceeds 10 his
credit at a bank in that city. There
upon Read informed bis man, who, by
the way, had failed 20 state his name,
that be had sold the bonds,
and paid the man fourteen thousand
five hundred dollars, deducting the COM
missions and those of Fisk & Hatch.
This morning he received a dispatch
from Fisk 4 Hatch, stating that the
bonds were counterfeit, and also sent
him six thousand dollars of the bonds
requesting him to make good their loss.
At noon he also received another letter
from them with ten thousand dollars
more Of bogus bonds.
This fraud was detected at the rail-
road Office in New York, where the
coupons were presented for payment.
1t is reported on good authority that
the swIndler was in the city yesterday,
and doubtless will soon be in the hands
OF justice.

States shipping act was argued before
Judge Benedict yesterday, in the case of

case of a foreign vessel there could be no
jurisdiction before arrival at its place of
destination. The decision is reserved.

posts aud establish regular bank. She
offered depositors enormous advantages
fer large sums of money as much rs
item per cent. a month-and, after adver-
tising this in nearly all BaVarian Jour-
nails, large sums of money, especially
/ from the rural districts, began TO pour
| into her Golfers. The attention of the
| authorities was called to her doings, but,
after some difficulty, she managed to
quiet them. The newspapers attacked
her violently, but she threatened to
prosecute them, and, the people Of Mu-
Mich being on her side because she paid
them so enormous an interest, most Of
her assailants We're reduced TO silence;
and, besides, she threatened them with
libel suits. She, moreover, established
a cheap daily paper TO defend her, and
it is said to have reached a circulation of
upward of fifteen Thousand copies. It
is written, set up and printed exclusive
" by women. The journals Of the ne
manning German States, however, de-
nounce Nine. Spitzeder in unmeasured
terms as q fraud, and predict that her
" Peoples Bank viii soon have TO fail,
and that large numbers OF poor people
viii be utterly ruined thereby.
The female usurer herself still affects
TO be utterly unconcerned about it. She
says she feels perfectly safe, because she
can afford to pay enormous interest to
her depositoTs, and because the people
are on her side. She spends her money
lavishly, and recently established twelve
soup houses where the poor Of Munich
may obtain nourishing food at merely
nominal prices.

CALORIC PHENOMENA.
Report Of the Signal Service Observer
at Boston In Relation to the
COnhagratiOn.

WASHINGTON, November 24.-The
following official report of the Signal
Service Observer stationed at Boston,
relative to the anemOmetrical and other
observations taken by himself during
the fire, will be found Of great interest
and highly instructive. They clearly
show that the fire was attended with
phenomena distinctly cyelonic:
Boston, November b, 1872.
To the Chief Signal Officer OF the army,
Washington, d. c.:
GENERAL-I reply to your telegraphic
dispatch received this morning, direct
ing me to make full report of the me-
teOric phenomena attending the recent
great fire. l would respectfully say that
the wind at this station, during the pro-
gress of the fire, varied from the north
and northwest to north, with a velocity
OF from five to nine miles per hour, the
weather being clear, cool and pleasant
On approaching the fire ON the north or
windward side as close as the heat
would allow, the indraught of air
through the burning streets assumed the
character Of a brisk wind, probably six
teen or eighteen miles per hour, while
the heat was so intense as to cause
smoke, steam, etc, to be carried up in
spirals to a great elevation. On the
south or lee side the induced currents of
air were very strong, probably thirty or
tlirty-tive miles per hour, carrying the
fire bodily to the windward.
This state of affairs appears
10 be the reverse Of the Chicago fire,
where the strength Of the wind was suf-
ficient 10 overcome induced currents,
and the fire burned to leeward. Il ap-
peared as If the high wind permitted an
in-draught TO rise at considerable angle
after reaching the fire, leaving a large
space of rarified air in its front inducing
stronger currents to blow, which meet
ing the in-draught gave a spiral orwhirl-
wind form TO the ascending current.
During the fire a flock of ducks passed
at a great hight overhead, and the light
reflected from their plumRge made them
appear as fire-balls passing rapidly
through the air. Many who saw called
them meteors, and took them to be balls
of fire. They were said to have been
seen in the northwest during the great
fires In that region.
As an example Of the great heat diff
fused, | would state that during the
night l exposed thermometer in the
Observatory to the full glare Of the fire,
when it rose nearly five degrees,
although placed upward of two thousand
feet from the burning district, and dead
TO the windward Of It. No other phe-
nomena occurred. The barometer was
rising slightly, aud the weather re-
manned unchanged.
! have the honor to be, General, very
respectfully your Obedient servant,
