A Monev-Makiug Bankrupt Trick.

One of the many tricks whereby bankruptcy
becomes a money-makng device has been ex-
posed by the New York World. A reporter
followed up an advertisement informing the
reader that "if you contemplate bankruptcy,
you can procure $4S. 900 good, genuine regular
securities. Terms to suit contingency" The
advertiser was discovered to be Broadway
lawyer, and a little inquiry in the character
of special partner in firm about to fail
showed the reporter that he could buy the
$4,000 in Southern land bonds worth nothing
in the market, for ST. 900 cash, and turn them
in as asserts to cover cash capital drawn out
and that still owing the firm. Bill of sale
dated back to give the transaction genuine
look. To make the arrangement work 1t was
necessary to have bookkeeper who was "all
right" and who could and would fix the books
The lawyer assured his interviewer that the
thing was done every day, and such securities
passed well with the courts; that in Phila-
delphia recently Judge Cadwaller ordered
stock of the same sort put into the schedule
OF assets at SO cents on the dollar When
the story of the interviewer came out
in the World this advertisement and
Others to intending baukrupts suddenly dsap-
peared from the Herald, and the attorney in a
personal declared his purpose to sue the pa
per for libel; but we are afraid he won't. The
affair is a specimen of a class of fraudulent
transactions which are being pushed with IN
common liveliness during these last days of the
national bankrupt law. Nearly all the worth
less securities in the New York stock market
get into the hands of professional bankruptcy
attorneys, who use them in this way. One
broker says that money, swindling, mining and
land concerns are kept alive by selling theil
stock to merchants who know it is worthless
and only take it as an exhibit in their assets.

LONDON, Aug. 27.-Several Vienna specials
mention the precarious position of the Audras-
sy ministry, in consequence of the Bosnian and
Turkish complications.

is threatened, aud correspondent of the Lon

weather the storm.
The Bosnian Revolt spreading.
Vienna dispatches say that the completely of
the Servians in the Bosnian insurr ection is
again asserted. 1t is said that the rebels re-
treating from Serajev0 went toward the Servian
frontier and will cross it if closely pressed. 1t
is also stated prisoners were captured at Dobaj,
wearing the uniform of the Servian militia. The
insurgents about Dobaj have been largely lrs-
inforced and vigorously attacked Dobaj several
times endeavoring to turn Szapani's positions
and destroy his pontoons across the Bosnia, to
Vienna advices, Szapani repulsed all the at
tacks, bat Reuters despatch staGes that the in
surgents declare that Szapani has withdrawn
from Dobaj to the left bank of the Bosnia and
destroyed the bridges. They also claim that
Philippovich's army at serajevo is seriously
hurrying from Austria. The numbers of the
Insurgents are increasing in every direction.
