Forgeries in Lynchburg, Va.
Accident to a Pittsburg Lawyer.
ANOTHER RESPECTABLE RASCAL.
Forgeries by a Prominent Merchant of
Lyrhburar.
Tie Lynchburg Virginian of Friday last '
say:
''Cjuite a sensation was created yesterday In
Tmsiness circles by the detection of several
forgeries by a former prominent merchant of
this city, who has been largely connected with
the trade of Lynchburg for several years, and
who has occupied a high position as a reliable
hueiness man. We allude to Jir. Ambrose 11.
Woodruff, late of the firm of Woodruff Co.,
proeers and commission merchants. It seems
that on Sunday lat be left the city, ostensibly
to be gone a lew days on some private business.
Two or three days afietwards his brothers were
surprised nt receiving a letter frora him
announcing briefly his purpose to sail
for Europe, never to retnru. No cause was
aligned. This information pave rise to suspi
cions which resulted in the discovery that
before leaving be had perpetrated a number of
forgeries, the full extent of which has not yet
come to light. It is kuowu Unit most, if not
all, the banks and brokers of the city are suf
ferers in various amount, ranging it is said
from $1500 up to iC-000. We have heard also
of three or four private parties who were de
frauded in the aggregate to the extent of pro
bably $10,000. Tbere may Le others in alike
predicament, and most probably are. As far as
known the forgeries will, we "suppose, mount
np to something like $20,000, aud they may
exceed these figures. The father-in-law of
Woodruff, Mr. George T. Pleasants, of Amherst
county, is the party whose, name is forged."
The Lynchburg 'Hepublica n of Saturday says
with regard to the forgery: "The extent of tie
loss to ttie community cannot jet be given with
acv degree ot accuracy, aim is variously esti
mated at from 450,000 to 70,000. Mr. Wood
ruff had in his hands a very large estate, belong
ing to the heirs ot the late Samuel Miller, the
bulk of which was in bonds. What disposition
he made of this estate is as yet unknown, aud it
may turn out that his securities are the heaviest
losers ef nil. The names oftenest used without
authority are, we are informed, those of Messrs.
George "T. and John W. Pleasant, but the
amount for which their fcignalures have been
used is as yet only a matter of conjecture.
There was great commotion in business circles
when the tact ot these operations became
known, und the wildest rumors as to their ex
tent weie circulated.
A JIk'-TRAP.
Death of a PromllM Yoimj Lawyer of
PlttKhiirg ruder liist replug Cli euiii
etuiiccs. The FiUsburg Commercial of yesterday
lays:
Between H and G o'clock yesterday morning
the body of a man was faund in Lamb's coal
yard, at the West Pennsylvania KaUroud cross
ing. The night police removed tbo body to the
Maj'or's oftico, where, upon Investigation, it was
discovered to be that of K. E. Patter.on, Eq.
The place whore the accident occurred is a
complete "man-trap," and could not be better
arranged for killing or crippling people had it
been constructed expiesbly for that purpose.
The coal yard is in the canal basin, aud is at
least fifteen feet below the grade of the street.
Bctwteu the railroad track and Laoiu'6 coal
office there is a space of about fifteen leet.
where formerly it appears there was a flight of
stairs leading down to the coal yard, aud a turn
stile had been placed at the entr ceto-the
steps. Some mouths since the sUirs or steps
were removed, leaving a precipice of about
fifteen feet' on the f turnstile left la its place for
the purpose, apparently, ot inducing people to
Walk into the trap; and from the position of the
body or Mr. ratterson when discovered, it is
quite evident that be fell over just at this point;
and upon inquiry it appears that this is the
fourth accident which has occurred there wLbin
a year, one man having a leg fractured tana two
others having been levereiy injured.
Mr. Patterson was at the Academy of Music
Saturday evening, aad at the close of the enter
tainment accompanied, a yoang lady acquaint-
as ce to her residence on Mockton avenue,
where he remained but a few minutas befare
leaving for home, eo that the accident probably
eccurrcd between eleven and twelve o clock,
and it is the opinion ot the physician who ex
B arnined the body that the injuries woald produce
instant ticatn.
Mr. PuUtron was one of the most talented
youncroea at the Piitsbnrg bar. He was a hard
student, and by close alteation to business had
secured a very lucrative practice. He was about
thirty years of age at the time of his death,
was a man ot excellent character, and was
blghly respected by all members of the profes
sion in this city.
A STRANGE REVELATION.
Gottgchalk, the Plaulst The Cause of Ilia
Death.
Ever since the sudden prostration of Louis M,
Gottschaik, the eminent American pianist and mu
aical composer, in the midst of a graud concert
which he was giving in mo Janeiro, Nov. 25, is9,
there have been current in tbat city floating ruoiors
that this and nis death on Deo. is, following, were
the result of some loul plav.
A genteman who has recently arrived frm Rio

whica nave obtained some decree or credence anil
also of what appears to be tae true story as he
learned it, just tn iore his departure, from Dr. Save-

of this city, receiving $2 and ii-25 per day,
struck yesterday for $2-50, the wages of the
society men. Over two hundred men, armed
with clubs and staves, joined in the affair, and
drove off all the laborers on the free library In

The ICctchum Forgeries. .
Sixty-four answers were filed with the Clerk
of the Circuit Court j-esterday to the numerous
complaints in 6uits brought by banks, manufac
turing companies, and others against members
of the defunct banking firm of Morris Ketchum,
Son & Co., ruined in 1865 by the extensive defal
cation of Edward B. Ketchum.
The defendants deny that they are all resi
dents of the city, and were all aware that frauds
were being carried on two months before
Ketchum' flight. The fact was known to only
two members of the firm, Lynkon M. Swan and
Thomas Selknap, Jr., and was suppressed bv
the latter defendants. They acknowledge that
the embezzlement amounted to more thau
$2,000,000, and their total liabilities to about
$3,000,000. They deny that their assets were
greater than their liabilities, and the charge that
Morris Ketchum or his partners attempted a
compromise with the creditors with the view of
saving their private fortunes la also coatra
dieted. A delegation of the
Grand Army of the Republic,
including General Logan, General Barnum,
Colonel Marshal, Assistant Adjutant-General
Forbes, and others, visited yesterday the Union
Home and School for Soldiers and Sailors.

Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph,
Vi asbinoton, May 2. The President and Secre
tary of Mate, In conversation to day, said that they
regretted 10 see a disposition man'ftsted to criticize
ihe forthcoming treaty between the United States
and .kngiatid, in advance or Its sunmlsaton to the
Senate. The l'resideut said no good could como of
tti's, and It might do much harm. All the members
of the commission are very couddent that the treaty
will meet the approval of the country.
Ths Action of the Chinese Government
In disregarding the Bnrllngamo treaty by refusing
to protict missionaries aud teachers, has been
brought to the attention of the Government, and is
now under consideration. It appears that ttie
Chinese are actuated in this matter by the course
pursued Dy me people 01 tne united states against
Chinese emigration, and particularly the harsh man
ner in which the Chinese are treated in California.
The Chinese Government holds that our Oovern
me&t has failed to carry out that part of the Burlin
ganu; treaty which Insures protection to Chinese In
the United States. It is regarded as a very trouble
some questlou, and one which the Government is at
a loss how to deal with.
The Cabinet

Serious Trouhlce tn Tennessee.
The Avalanche' Little liock despatch of last
night says serious treubles are reported in Chlcato
county, tbe largest negro district in the State. Just
prior to his election as senater, Governor Clayton
appointed Senator J. W. Mason, colered, of Chlcate
county, Probate Judge, as alleged, to secure his
vote for the benatorship; but jnst on the heels of the
sessK n Governor Clayton appointed Major Kagland,
of Jefferson county, to tttat position, aud under
Clayton's instructions the Senate refused to take up
and act on Mason's nomination, and by that means
it was expected to get rid of luui. But Mason went
home and took possession of the omce, aud the
colored men made Kagland leave the country.
To add to this the Governor recently annalnted
Conway Barbeur, colored, lately a resident of Cin
cinaati and member of the House from Lafayette,
as tseesior of Chlcate ceunty, ignoring the claims
of all the colored residents in that ctiunty. This
incensed the negroes still more, and when Barbour
went down no ouiy remained two days, the negroes
telling him that it would be better for his health. If
he made himself scarce. The neeroes are reported
to be on the point of an outbreak, and should the
Governor attempt to force tuesu men on them there
will be trouble. .Mason and KepreseLtatlvo Wood
colored, are now here to see the Governor on the
subject.
