Columbus, O., Dec. 224.-Further investl-
cation into the accounts OF Fred W.rNew-
burg, the Assistant Secretary OF the Board
Of Public Works, today, brought to light
another forgery amounting to s., COZ. perpe-
trated IN October, 1885, The forgeries:, and
raised checks OIL which: money has been
drawn from the State Treasury now amount
to about $4,000. The fact that forgeries Of
over a year ago. have been discovered con-
firms the belief that crookedness has been
going ON for tAree years, or since the canals
were turned over. to the State by the lessees-
There is no means OF ascertaining the
amount that the State had been defrauded;
but the general belief is that the amount is
much heavier than has heretofore been sus-
pccted. Nothing but the. most thorough ex-
animation will bring to light all the forgeries
that have been committed during the past
three years. The Attorney-General and Au-
ditor; Of State are pushing their Investigation
forward and comparing the books of the
Board of Public Works. The board is also
going through the books and will make q
thorough search for the forced BALANCES.

each Canal Superintendent and member. Of
the board is provided with a. book for this
purpose, Had the usual precaution been
taken the forgerles would have been dis
covered soon after the first deviation from
the right path lad been made. 1t appears
quite apparent that young Newburg has
been taught by some former accoumtanI how
the work was done, and it IS believed that
present time no suspicion rests upon any
one. Young Newburg is still quite i'll at the
city prison, and intimates that he does not
propose to stand up and receive the condenl
nation Of all the press and people alone; that
which is now heaped upon him. ~Fnrther
Developments are eagerly awaited, and tile
story Of Newburg's fall is the general topic
of conversation among all classes.

INSECURE CELLARDoOR.

Elk Alderman Browne last Saturday
night met with 20 mishap which bruised
him up. but fortunately did not do him
any great injury. He was returning from
Rarper's Theatre and passing along Sec
ond Ave. directly in front Of Turner sshos
store. He stepped on the cellar door Of
that establishment when the fastening
gave away, and he was1 precipitated down
to the cellar below. He was soon extri.
Gated from his disagreeable position. and
it was found no bones had been broken.
His body was badly bruised especially in
the region of the ankles. but aside from
these bruises it was not thought that
he had received any other injuries. The
danger of doors on the sidewalk are tsufi
GENTLY clear even when kept in the best OF
order, but when such openings are in bad
condition the accidents occurring from
pedestrians walking over them are greatly
increased. Il is to be hoped that the
croper authorities will see to.the matter.
and sske every precsution to avoid acct
dents of s;milar character in the future.

til the bill was liquidated. Fosdick pre-
pared himself With gun. and attempted
