 CRIMINAL COURT.
 Dave Ferguson, better known as "Shorty,' was convicted in the criminal court yesterday of forgery Ferguson was a brakeman on the Louisville and Nash vile road, and, 1t seems, contracted several debts with merchants in the city. About two months ago seven or eight of these garnisheed his wages, and day or two be- fore the pay train was due he obtained re- lease blanks and had them signed with the names of the parties garnisheeing his wages. All he had to do then to draw his pay was to present the releases to the pay master and have his time cashed. Before the train came, however, he was detected ant warrants sworn out for him. He was arrested and placed in the county jail, where he has since been confined.
