GILMAN'S GRAFT.

Extensive Forgeries in Insurance Scrip.
New York, Oct. 3.-Henry Talmadge
81 Co. applied to the Third National
Bank on Monday for loan, presenting
two certificates of scrip of the Atlantic
Mutual Insurance Company for $4,000
each. The bank officials accepted the
securities. Later in the day they learn
ed from the insurance company that
the certificates were not genuine, but
had been raised from 500 each, the
amount for which they were issued in
1876 to William G. Gilman, broker in
insurance scrip. This discovery was
made public yesterday and the banks
where Gilman transacted business pre-
sented scene of universal excitement.
The vaults were opened and his secu-
rites closely scrutinized. At the
American Exchange Bank ten certifi-
Gates of the Atlantic Mutual Insurance
Co. were found, representing an aggre-
gate value of SS7, 300, and messenger
hastily vert to the office of the insur-
ance company, to ascertain their true
value. A careful comparison of dates,
names and amounts proved that these
certificates had been originally pur-
chased by Gilman at different times du-
ring the years 1875, 1876 and 1877, in
various sums aggregating only S12, 600.
OF this number of certificates hypothe-
Gated at the American Exchange bank
the forgeries amounted to $50, 1000.
These forged certificates were present
ed at the bank and deposited by Mr..
Gilman in person. So highly was he
esteemed by the officials that they were
not critically examined and the amount
of money he required was promptly
paid to him. This amount was esti-
mated by one of the clerks at between
fifty and sixty thousand dollars. AS
far us ascertained all but three or four
of the certificates in the Gilman for
gerry case are called in, and these are
for small amounts, but may have been
raised to larger figures, as were the
others. The total amount of the for
geries is known to be about S207, 900.

On Saturday last about dusk, Daniel
Brown and Byron Yount met at Cooper's
and engaged in one of the most desper-
ate encounters that ever took place in
Shelby county. both parties being killed.

John reported the affair to his older
brother, Byron, who espoused his quar-

passed some high words. Each know

being stout, uble-bodied men, they
parted and prepared themselves for the
next meeting. Brown borrowed little

Edwards, and Yount after seeking in
vain for weapon, finally forced himself
into Alexander's store, and took pistol
from the private drawer.
Thus prepared, the two walked toward
each other, and met at the railroad, one
on one rail and the other on the opposite
rail. In this position Brown asked
Yount when he was ready. Yount re-
piled, Now" and both fired simultane-

FREY WHISKY. When the excitement
was at it's height in Newark, Ohio, last
week, stalwart citizen was under the
necessity of bracing himself up. The
Mayor had ordered the closing of all
saloons and drinking places, and the
police had enforced the regulations
ri2idly. But there was back door in
Gingerbread Row, and behind the bar
there was lopgrange lightning whiskey.
The Stalwart citizen crept in, got his
drink and beat retreat. Soon he was
overwhelmed with burning sensations in
his stomach. Something seemed to be
blazing there and be burst into doc
tors office, exclaiming, For Gods sake,

with you?" inquired the doctor. "Get
the pump ready while l am telling you,
l am burning up inside. Hurry, I took
drink down on Gingerbread Row.

posed, "Why, l smell something burn

diameter burned in the shirt front.

A Frozen Dinner.

THE CONFLICT IN THE OLD WORLD

The inaction of the Russian army in
Asia is explained by an official dispatch from
ST. petersburg, announcing that an insurrcc.
ton started in the central district of Daghcs-
tan about the twelfth of September, gradually
spread until all the central and southern
Daghcstan, including the coast districts were
involved. On the 23d and Oath the Russians
attacked the main body of insurgents, six
thousand strong, and defeated and dispersed
them. 1t is now believed the insurrection
will not give further trouble.
Mukthar Pasha gives a long account
OF battle on the Sd. which proved indecisivc
On the right, the Turks being threatened by
six battalions, assumed the offensive. They
stormcd Gladi Oagha, and after five hours
fighting pursued the Russians to Aspatchai.
Night stopped the conflict. Both sides main-
taiued their positions. Mukhtar Pasha esti-
timatcd the Russian loss at 500, the Turkish
loss being unknown. FAIL Pasha was
wounded. There was no fighting on the 4th,
except near karajal, of which the dispatch
gives no details. The rumor that two Rus
sian generals were killed is unfounded. The
Porte, in dispatch to its representatives
abroad, claims that Mukhtar gained an over
whclming victory.
Further particulars of the battle before
Kars make it evident that the Russians as
saulted the Turkish positions along the whole
line, and were repulsed with heavy loss. The
main action was fought on the 9Th. The Turks
seem to have been taken by surprise A sin
gle Turkish battalion defending the Great
Yasi was cut to pieces or captured with the
post after two hours obstinate defense, which
gave the Turks an opportunity to prepare for
the next assault. After the capture of the
OF the Great Yagri it was found that the Little
YaGri was so strongly fortified that attempts
to assault it was considered premature After
thirteen battalions sent from the Turks to re-
inforce Mukhtar Pasha had been repulsed the
Russian troops fortified themselves in the
positions they occupied Their loss was 3,059
killed and wounded. The enemy's losses are
not less.
At Plevna the Roumanians have pushed
their sap to within a few yards of the counter
scarf OF the second redoubt on Gravatza ridge.
No trustworthy accounts indicate that the po
sition of Osman Pasha has been invested or
closely blockaded. From Mukhtar Pasha's
latest dispatches it seems the Russians have
withdrawn from the right and centre of his
line and concentrated their entire army at
Aktschakata on Kars. This is undoubtedly
the greatest and most critical affair of the war
in Asia. The minor object of the Russian at
tack is to cut Mukhtar off from Kars or draw
him under its walls and shut him up there.
If it fails, the second Russian campaign in
Asia will he over
