A Forged Draft.

A dispatch was received q few days
since by John Peoples, cashier Of the
Central National Bank of this city,
from the National Bank of Bristol,
Rhode Island, asking II draft, which
had been presen ted TO them drawn by
Bayard @. SaVille, or his father, Alex
ander Saville, and certified by the Cen
trail National Bank, was genuine.
Mr.. Peoples replied NJ once that as he
never certified any drafts It must be
counterfeit. Late In the afternoon OF
the same day another dispatch was re-
ceived by Mr.. Peoples. This was from
Captain James LaWlese, of Bristol, and
also inquired about the draft. Mr.
Peoples replied that If such draft had
been presen ted it must be coun terfeit,
and that they should arrest the man at
once.
The next day q draft for $3.50 was
received by the Union National Bank,
OF this city, from the Bristol Bank for
collection. The officers Of the bank
thought il was counterfeit. and took
It to Mr.. Peoples, who at once con.
| firmed their suspicious, and II was sent
back 10 Bristol.
Captain Lawless, who was the vic.
| timiEed party, then came 70 this city
and stated that about week or ten
days ago young 6aville called upon
him, and as the captain Is well ao-
| qnainted with his father, he received
him cordially. Saville presented q
letter which purported TO be from his
father, consequently the captain had
no suspicion that anything was wrong.
After being treated in hospitable
manner, young Savile remarked that
1 he TO- GAEn ha a
about to sail for Europe, 1t might be
necessary for him to call on the captain
| to identify him go that he could get II
cashed. This he agreed to do, and took
him to the bank, and after introd ucing
him to the cashier, told him 1t was al
right and the draft WAS cashed.
The officers of the Bristol Bank short
| ly after wards telegraphed to Mr.. PeO-
| pies, and Captain Llwlees was inform
ed that he was the victim of an Rdroi
swindler. Thinking, however, tina
there might be some mistake about tht
matter, he had the draft sent TO THU
city, and when II was returned came OF
himself.
Alexander Saville, the young man.
adopted father, who resides in this city
proneunces the letter shown TO Captain
Lawless forgery, and it Is now sup
poi ed that 1t was only part of tn'
scheme which lie conceived TO swindl'
him. Mr.. Saville refuses to indemnit!
Captain Lawless. as he has alread!
been victimizod himself, by this vouDI
man, for thousands Of dollars. Younl
Savllle has disappeared, and nothing
whatever Is known of mis- whereabouts
Some time ago. in answer to an urgen
request, Mr.. Saville sent him certiieI
check for $50 on the Central Nationa
Bank OF this city. A short time after
ward, Mr.. Peoples received lette
from him, stating that the check ha
not been received, and asking that an
other be sent in its place This be II
fused to do, as he believed and no dout
correctly, that his object WAS to get u
second check, ard then have both {
them cashed.

Morning journal and courier., 1886-11-16

life from the German of Dr. Alfred Ritter
Won Urbanitzky edited with copious addi-
t1ons by r. Wormell, D. Sc, M. A, with
an introduction by John Perry, M. E., F.
R. s., furnished with eight hundred and
fifty illustrations. Up to 1870 there really
were no text books on the subject of electri-
city. There were publications setting forth
the speculations of Franklin and other writ
ers upon the subject; giving descriptions of
Leyden jars, the giving of shocks, ETC., but
the information was all of childish and
dish, Faraday and of Joule were known only
to few. The learned societies held all that
was known about the subject. Now we have
the science of electricity and the applica-
tions of the principles of this science are pro-
ceeding rapidly in the invention of new ap-
paratus and the historical part of the sci
ence is in neglect. In this work will
be found a connected history of the science
with the various stages of development
clearly set forth and illustrated. 1t is
carried out to the practical ends and applied
in way that can be thoroughly understood
by all. The work places the detail and
roundabout knowledge of the science in q
compact form ready for reference at a NOM
ent's notice. The author was anxious to
avoid the appearance of a mathematical work
which might make the subject repulsive to
many and with this in mind all symbolic
statements have been omitted The work is
OF a popular character, written for the pub
lie and containing valuable information for
all in regard to subject which has rapidly
come to the front. 1t is divided into two
parts, the Principles of Electrical Science
and the Technology of Electricity, with vari-
Gus subdivisions under each. CasseI & Co,
