FoRGERIEs OF UNITED STATES 800 NOTES
Yesterday morning at eleven O'Clock, a novel
Find OF forgery was discovered at the Sub
Treasury in this city by Mr.. Abram N W.
Tandy, one of the note counters, who, while
examining large quantity of bills, came across
one OF the 1863 issue of 500 which felt some
what spongy and soft He then examined it
with microscope, and ascertained that the bill
consisted of two parts, which had been pasted
together, the face being genuine and the back
being forgery. The intention of the counter
teiter is doubtless to make good use OF the good
back and paste 1t in like manner to fraudu-
lent face, hut whether this will be as good
forgery as the present one remains to be seem
The work ia admirably done, and if the counter
letters can make as good a face as they can a
"back' it is possible that 800 for 500 bill can
be easily had. II Mr.. Tandy had not been a
clever expert the bill would have passed him
as IT did several of his colleagues. The bogus
article is now In the hands of General Butter
held, and 1t remains to be seen what action he
Will take In the matter. 1t Is maintained that,
with good face, the bill can hardly be desig-
mated forgery. Last August the detectives In
Philadelphia arrested man who could make
six bills ont of five by cutting and mutlating
them, and when arrested his pocket-book was
found full of cuttings of good bills.-NeC York

A Fathers Terrible Vengeance.
ILLS HIS DAUGHTER BECAUSE SIZE Dl

HoNoRKD HIS FAMILY.
AS briefly stated in a telegram from New Or
leans, Caroline Hugel, aged twenty-five from
Alsace, was killed by her father in that city on
Sunday morning, 18th instant, imm ediatey
after landing from the steamship louisiana
They took passage at Bordeau, aud the father
asserts that the daughter, through intimacy
with young Frenchman on board, had dis
h0nOred her family. He promised the captain
of the steamer not TO modest his daughter while
on board, but soon after landing he stabbed her
with knife fatally. The tragedy is thus de-
scrlbed by New Orleans paper: "Among the
passengers who left the ship was n group of
tour, consisting of one man and three girls
They had walked about thirty yards from the
ship, when an excited looking man. about fifty
years OF age, approached them, and, clutching
one Of the girls by the arm. said something
which he Immediately followed up by plunge
OF knife, hiding it for a moment in her breast.
With an agOnZing shrek. she fell backward,
when raising the knife once more, he dealt her
asecond plunge, this time cutting her in the
abdomen 10 the depth of about an inch.
The horrOr-strcken crowd were so petrihed
and astOnished that they shrunk back from the
DC monlac murderer, and were only recalled to
their senses as the latter was endeavOring TO
make his escape. Then they pursued and CAP
tured him, though he threatened to kill anybody
who should attempt his arrest, and he would
probably at this time be as cold as his victim,
mad not the police arrived and saved him from
the molestation of the excited crowd by convey
ing him TO the station, where he now lies. The
young woman was about % years of age of a
pretty, petite form. She died in thirteen min
utes after receiving the fatal stab, and was
buried In three hours thereafter, at the city's
expense. The murderer, whose name is Joseph
Hugel, is native of Strasburg, and came to
thls country in 1861. He spent the most of his
time IN California, and, having accumulated
some money there. returned to France a year
ago Tor the purpose of bringing out his daugh-
ter, and establishing himself in this city as a
brewer"
