May Reach n lIlIliop.

New YonK, April 1.-More of the
commercial paper of Paige, Carey &
Co., OF No. 45 Broadway, bearing the
forged Endorsement of John Hunting
ton, was bought up in New York: than
bankers are willing to admit, and the
publicity which has been given o .tho
affair results in showing that a!large
part Of the assets OF the North River
bank. which Is now in the hands of Re-
ceiver Higgins, consists OF notes bear
ing this signature. 1t is kncwnl that
several hundred thousanddollars OF the
assets OF the bankrupt bank are in notes
bearing the signature OF John Hunting
ton, and none OF them have been paid
yet. None OF it has been cashed, how
ever.
1t is believed the total amount Of
forgeries will DO found to be almost
Sl,000,0O0. As the worthless paper is
scaIped all over New England, and as
some oft is in New York city, too, it
will be some time before tho exact fig
ures will be learned.

Tho monotony Of tho daily additions
to tho number Of attachment suits
against tho firm of Paige, Caroy'& Co.
was varied yesterday when Hallock
Bros, tho contractors, brought suit in
tho circuit court against Mrs. Clara G.
Carey, widow Of D. NJ. Carey, for
S2,0Ol 50. An attachment was issued.
This suit is for work done in filling up
lots belonging 10 Mrs. Carey at Cald-
wells rum. Tho deeds TO Mrs. Carey
for these lots, on most Of which houses
have been built, woro only filed with
Clerk Hook for record this week.
Tho question, how will tho Main
street bridge BIO completed? is discussed
with growing interest, and the, liability
OF tho bondsmen Is q matter OF some
speculation. There being ample funds
in the hands OF tho city to complete tho
bridge, reserved for that purpose, there
will be no need OF calling on the bonds.
men As to the satisfying OF mechan.
les liens on tho bridge and tho dam
ages for the destruction OF the Goshorn
buildings, south OF the creek, nothing
can yet DO told by the public.
Conflicting stories continue to BIO
printed, and SO far tho facts definitely
known arc as meagrc rs they were early
in the week.

wit scintillales in its every line and
the situations are surprising aud
ludicrous to a degree that fairly deluges

Their Demands neted on by tho Builders'

At tho regular meeting OF the Build.
ers' Exchange last night tho demands OF
tho carpenters md plastorers came up
for action. Tho carpenters demanded
that tho bosses should not employ any
men not having union cards. A confer.
erco was held, but without result, and
last night tho exchange instructed Its
committee 10 confer with tho carpcn.
tcrs' committee again Monday night.
Alter the meeting adjourned, however,
two employing carpenters said tho dc.
mand OF the mon would positively not
be granted.
Over twenty now members have been
taken In by the exchange in tho past
three weeks. II Is a peculiar fact that
OF these new members q number werO
leaders OF the workmen In the building
trades strike last year. Tho Carpenters
Union, members say, has also taken in
eighteen new members lately, most OF
them being non.union men who took
strikers places at tho time OF tho last
trouble.
There seems to DO some misunder.
standing rs to the settlement OF tho
plasterers' demand. A member Of the
union said last evening that tho bosses
had granted the demand for IN increase
from 50 to s. so. An employing plas-
terer said after tho meeting Of tho OK
change had adjourned, however, that
tho agreement reached made no definite
scale obligatory. The employers aie
allowed to pay hands what they con-

Origin of the Story of Levee- Cutters
Being Shot AT.

origin of the Story of Levee- Cutters
Being Shot AT.
While the river was at its highest point
and the farmers on the Yolo side were
guarding the leveeS against possible in
jury, some one filed up the reporters
of certain papers with sensational stories
of levee-cutters and steamboat men hav-
ing been shot at. The Rio Vista Nc1cS
has got at the bottom of the alleged shoot
ing, and tells it thus:
pilot Charley of the steamer Apache
is a very frightened man. Indirectly the
nigh water Of the Sacramento was the
cause OF his fright. Men with wicked
looking double barreled shotguns were
patrollng the leyees above Clarksburg to
TO see that no one attempted to cut them
Pilot Charley did not make a move to-
ward cutting the levees, but on Thursday
night of last week one of the patrolmen
threatened to till him full up to the brim
with lll-shaped cold lead if he did not run
the steamer slower, the swell caused by the
wheel being great menace to the water
soaked levees. Charley took warning
and accordingly slowed down.
An employe of the boat, and somewhat
OF wag, heard the threat, and the next
day on the down trip he laid a battered
bullet near the door of the pilot-house
and touched off large Chinese fire.
cracker when the boat was passing the
point where the night before Pilot Char
ley had been threatened with charge
of cold tule lead.
1.-The pilot honestly believes he was
hred upon, and was so confident of the
same that Sacramento paper published
