FORGER ARRESTED.
Auditors Certificates Forged and sold-A
Bold Piece Of Work.

Yesterday morning Detective Coomes took into
custody a street contractor named ]. D. Vsrney,
on a warrant sworn out by Mr.. Gilbert F. Wat
son, who charges him with obtaining the sum OF
slO9 by selling to him q certificate issued by the
District board of audit for $l69 90 to R. s. Davis,
and purporting TO be indOrsed by said Davis
trustee, with intent to defraud, we'll knowing at
the time of said selling that the pretended in
dOrsement of Il. 5. Davis, trustee, was fraudu-
lent. 1t seems that Mr.. Watson purchased the
certificate with others, which he disposed Of to
broker named Speiden. The latter suspected
that the Endorsement was not genuine, and took
the certificate to Mr. Davis at his office on Four
and-a- half street, when Mr.. Davis pronounced 1t
forgery at a glance, and took It to the auditors
Office where an investigation disclosed the fact
that not only this, but several other certificates
of the board of audit, with false Endorsements,
are in circElatiOn-one with the name of ComHis-
siOner Phelps-and also that cases are found
where duplicate certificates have been issued.
These developments have caused considerable
CONSERVATION about the Columbia building. Mr..
Davis swore out a warrant against James d. Var
nay, charging him with forgery. 1t is not known
yet all who are implicated in this business but
the fact is ascerta1ned that the certificates are
genuine, and that they have been stolen from the
Office of the board of audit-where they are pre-
sumed to be kept until the owners call for them
the names Of the owners forged on them, and then
sold in the market. II is as yet impossible to say
what number Of them have thus been abstracted.

sems of the Con,equsnces Of . RumOr,


The following curious story, in illustration Of
the Russian military rules, is translated from 9
German paper:
At the time the report ofthe taking OF Sevssto-
pol was current, rich nobleman from the town
Of s., on the frontier OF Gallicis, received
a letter announcing the fall of Sevastopol and
the burning of Odessa. He had some friends
with him at the same time, to whom he commu-
nicated the contents, requesting them, however,
wishes were disregarded, and in q few hours moth.
ing in all Warsaw was spoken Of but the burning
Of Odessa and taking Of Seyastopol. The report
was carried to PRICE PaskieWitch, who imme-
diately sent for the nobieman and asked him
"Count, from whence have you this news2"
The pobleman handed the Prince the letter.
"Tbere is not word Of truth in all this" said
the Prince 81 thought So" answered the
Count, sand only mentioned 1t to q few conf
Dental friends, with request not to repeat It."
The government has full confidence in you, as
you have repeatedly given proofs Of your 10y
atty" said the Prince; I'VE are far from wish
to punish you for thisj but desire that you

false" "As your Highness orders.n go to my
Secretary, and he will tell you Of my further
The Count LEFT and repaired to the Secretary,
who handed him prepared passport. Scarcely
had he arrived In his own house, when an aide
de-camp entered and announced to him that the
carriages and post-hor were awaiting him.
During the time the burning Of Odessa and the
unfortunate Count was on his unwilling Journey,
behind four fiery stceds, to convince himself Of
the truth of the report. At Odessa he was taken
to the palace Of the Governor, who received him
very kindly, but Immediately ordered him to Se-
vastopol. Here also he was politely received by
Menchikof, taken everywhere, and then imme-
diatefy sent back to Warsaw, where, as soon
ss he was out Of his carriage, he was
him with the remark, well, Uount, what
do you now believe. Are Odessa and
Sevastopol taken7" "Oh, your Highness,"
answered the Count, who was half dead with the
fatigue Of his hurried journey, "both towns are
still secure, so secure that they never can be
taken" 'Go, then, Count, invite your confdeu-
tial friends to your house, tell them, under the
seal Of secresy, all that you have just seen, 30
that on this day all Warsaw may know IT,"
Scarcely had the Count reached his house when
the same aid-de-camp entered and handed him the
bill Of the expenses Of the journey. The unfor-
tunate Count had to pay seven thousand and sew
eral hundred silver roubles for his indiscretion.
Since this affair, no one In Warsaw tells, even
to his bosom friend, news from the seat Of war,
although it should have appeared officially in the
public journals.
