How nm Ohio woman Forged 5000
ChecL, and How She Was Caught.

CoLrxBus, November "A curious case
Of female wit and wickedness has been
brought prominently before the public by
the recent arrival at the penitcntiary OF TWO
prisoners from Hooking county. one OF
the prisoners was female named Florence
Ducat. She was convicted OF forgery and
sentenced for five years. This is supposed
10 be the second conviction in Ohio OF
female for forgery. The first occurred Ill
this county n few years ago. This case
has remarkable history. Miss Ducat
forged the name OF John Mercer, n farm
or, TO a check for 5000, payable to n flc-
titious female. Miss Ducat presented the
check in person to the bank. The bank
people cashed the check. Upon reaching
the door Miss Ducat returned to the coun-
ter and said she believed she did not want
10 take Ill that money away with her. ana
would leave e400 Mt the bank. Did they
nay interest on Deposits The bank re-
plied i'm the affirmative, and S400'was de-
posted, the woman taking the other S3Co
AWAY. This threw the bank officials
completely of their guard, and dis-
sipated whatever doubts that may
have arisen rs to the Identity OF
the woman and the commences
of the check. The forgery was not dlscov-
cred until some time afterward, when Mr.
Mercer was notified Of the cashinS OF the
cheek. The police were set to woik, and
another woman was arrested charged with
the crime. This woman proved q complete
abb and was discharged, completely up
setting the prosecution.
Suspicion was directed toward Miss Du-
cat finally by the discovery Of the fact that
she purchased and sent 10 friends in the
country quantity Of furniture. She was
arrested on suspicion, became frightened,
and confessed her guilt. Her conviction
followed. Of course. Had she not confessed
She could not have been convicted.

MARROW EsCAPE.-As the north-bound
train over the Virginia Midland railway
approached the bridge between Bethel and
BarbourSville, last night, three objects, sup
posed in the darkness to be persons, were
discovered TO be OH the track in the centre
OF the bridge, which is entirely OF trestle-
work, so that escape for the unfortunates
was impossible. The train was stopped
and Baggage Master David Dudley, who
went TO see what was OH the track, found
one old colored woman and two old colored
men. They were assisted into the mail
car, and carried safely over the bridge.
Had the three not been discovered so soon
they certainly would have been killed.

A JOKE on JUDGE RIvEs.-A Charlottes-
Vile (Va.) correspondent tells good joke
on Judge Alexander Riyes, judge of the
United States District Court. The Judge
made his appearance at the polls Tuesday

Favor approached him with Daniel ticket,
saying, Judge, won't you have a ticket u"
was Cameron ticket, as it was handed by
a colorcd man. took II, remarking that OF
course they both voted that ticket, to
the gentlemen vote this ticket" At this
point the Judge saw his mistake, and was
not long in securing ticket more suited to
his political views Stdunton Spectator.

FIsn-CULTURR IN NRGINIA.-Th follow
ing profitable experience with carp was
enjoyed by the Deaf, Dumb, and Blind In
stitution, at Staunton, and is detailed in
the Goodson Gazette:
"Some time in the month OF February
last Colonel William l.. Bumgardner, one
OF the Assistant Fish Commissioners OF Nir-
GINA, gave the Institution ten young mirror
carp about three inches. They Were turned
loose in the large ice-pond on the hillside
near the gas-house. This pond was full OF
a species OF marine grass and fairly alive
with frogs and a sort OF water-ny. Not IN
ounce Of food OF any kind was put into the
pond for the carp. They literally made
their own living, and when the water was
drawn off-on the 10Th of July-for the
purpose OF making needed repairs to the
pond, every carp was found. They were
then little over ten inches long, and
weighed about a pound and a half each.
They were in such good order that they
looked as II they were sheeted in layer Of
fat"
