REAL ESTATE RASCALITY.
Heavy speculRtiOns in Forged Deeds
A Startling Conspiracy RamiTying
Several States
Chicago Times, March 81,


Chicago Times, March 81.
An important arrest was made yes
terday Of a portion of a gang who have
been engaged for some time past in car
rYing oman extensive business in forged
deeds. The operations Of the gang
appear to have extended over different
portions Of the State of Illinois and
other Western and Southern States.
The mode Of operating the swindIe is
neat and effective. The services of a
corrupt or corruptible notary are first
secured, and a number Of blank deeds
drawn up and signed with any Fictitious
name. The regular official seal of the
notary Is attached and the document
properly filed out with names of wit
nesses. A description Of any desired
piece Of property Is then inserted with
the name Of one Of the swindlers as
the purchaser. This deed thus CON-
pleted IN regular form Is presented for
record at the,Ofice of the Recorder In
the county where the described land be-
longs. The parties then offer thep prop
erty for sale, giving the deed SO record
ed as evidence of title.
Another plan is to take an impress
sion on sealing wax of the official seal
of a notary and transfer theimpression
to any number Of fraudulent deeds,
which are afterward recorded as estab-
fishing a title. A tract Of 400 acres Of
land in Cook county has been sold on
fraudulent titles recently. a portion
Of this land, situated IN the town of
Lake, at the corner Of Fifty ninth street
and Ashland avenue, is owned by Mr..
Hugh Chittick. Another portion Is
situated in the town Of Hyde Park, and
is owned by Geo. W. Hill, J. 7. Scam
mon, the Chicago Land Company, and
others.
Reed was arrested Monday, and IN
his possession was found a large Sara
toga trunk filed with forged deeds,
some of which were blank and others
filed out with descriptions Of pieces Of
land in Illinois and other States, be-
sides various other papers having ref
erence to such fraudulent sales.
The operations Of the swindlers are
not confined TO any one particular
place, but extend to nearly all the prin-
Clpal CLUES OF the country. a IdIS
business is carried on IN New York IN
forged deeds OF land in the Western
States. Besides the parties arrested,
a number Of the gang are still at large,
and among them several nOtaries IN
the State Of Missouri, where the blank
deeds are turnedo out. Messrs. Chittick
and Hill, who have suffered largely by
reason Of the clouds thus thrown on the
titles of their property by the record
ing of these fraudulent deeds, have
been untiring IN ferreting out the
swindlers and bringing them to justice,
and are to be congratulated in being IN
a fair way to break up one Of the most
successful and annoying sWindles Of
the time.

FINANCIAL.

Money matters remain very quiet, with
but little doing. The banks report money
as easy, but there is 10 decline in the
rates, which are firm at ten per cent. per
annum. Street rates are at least one per
cent. per month.
Exchange on New York is firm and in
demand. The banks in selling charge at
the rate Of g per thousand premium, while
they buy at par. Exchange drawn against
the shipment Of cotton and other produce is
taken at of.
Gold was slightly better yesterday,
closing in New York at 1I43. For the
small lots offered here dealers pay 1l3 and
hold at 114S. Silver is taken at 100 for
halves and quarters.
Tennessee bonds are very much better,
being quoted in New York at 67a7O, while
those Of the funded and registered series are
quoted at 50d54. We hear Of no sales in
this market.
Our local stocks and bonds are quiet and
firm. The holders Of stock in the Nash
vile and Decatur Railroad were gladdened
with dividend yesterday, some $4,000
having been paid. Nashville, Chattanooga
and st. Louis railway stock is quiet and
rather dull at y. There is to be ameeting
Of Directors on the I'd.
We do not know if the holders Of David
son county bonds which matured to-day
were paid or not, but We suppose they re-
ceiYed nothing.
We hear Of several lots of Nashville city
bonds maturing to-day, having been sent
here from New York. Holders do not
seem disposed to accept 10 and 20 year
bonds in payment. They say these old
bonds were issued to build the Chattanooga
railroad and that payment is guaranteed by
the road, and that if the city cannot pay,
the road can, as it is perfectly solvent. We
understand that suit will be instituted in
the Federal Court by some Of the holders.
For quotations Of different stocks and
bonds We refer to those given by the Nash
vile Savings Company, corner Union and
College streets.

BOsTON's LATEST HORROR.

The remarkable murder case which Is
setting Boston and vicinity in a ferment,
scarcely receives as much attention as it
deserves. A beautiful and accomplished
woman, Mrs. Margaret Bingham, was muir
dered at her own house IN the daytime, and
when other persons were near at hand; but
the circumstances of the crime, and the
chase and capture Of the criminal are not
matters Of common nOtOTiety.
The murderer was a tramp or beggar;
his motive was plumber. He wanted
money TO satisfy his appetite for drink; he
obtained it by killing Mrs. Bingham in her
own house and Selling the small articles Of
iewelry which she had about her person.
He made directly for a dTinking-salOOn aud
openly offered his booty for sale. The pO-
lice were early on the track Of the criminal,
and he was arrested the third day aler the
murder. He was identified positively by
the SaloOn-keepeT to whom he had offered
the jewelry for sale, and on his person was
found penknife belonging to Mrs. Bing-
ham.
