FRANCE’S NEW PRESIDENT.
Bourgeois to Attempt tho Formation of
a New Cabinet.
Farls. Jan. 18.—Gen. Ferier, grand chan
cellor of the Legion of Honor, gave Presi
dent Faure to-day the collar of the Grand
Master of tha Order.
It was learned to-night at 10 o’clock
that 31. Bourgeois, after a tw o hours’ con
ference with M. Faure, had consented to
try to form a cabinet. He will go to the
1. y.-et to - orrow to report the result of
his itions. It is expected that M.
Poincare will return to the ministry of
finance and M. Lyges to the ministry of
". cation. Paul Prytan. Louis Terrier
®nd Eugene Godefroy Cavagniae would
a <Tt cabinet rlaces under M. Bourgeois
a- premier.
The Journal des de Bats, in its com
ments in the election expresses grattflea
t on at the defeat of M. Brisson and ap
rrovnl of the selection of 51. Faure. who,
the paper says, is a man of clear and
* and intellect. The destinies of France,
it believes, are In good hands.
The Figaro says: “The election of 31.
Faure, who is a moderate and upright
man. will be well received by all who de
sire peace and concord.''
The Dix Neuvieme Siecle says: "M.
Faure will choose a ministry from the
republican majority, which is more com
part and more resolute than ever since
s'sterday's election.
London, Jan. 18.—A dispatch from Paris
to the Graphic says it is asserted in
Versailles that M. Faure is a Protestant.
M. Faure, himself, however, has repeat

radical and socialist press of Paris have
already begun to denounce the new presi
dent.
Berlin, Jan. IS.—The National Zeitung,
commenting on the election of M. Faure,
It was the moderate majority in
the Senate that elected M. Faure. The

effective activity in tils successor.'’

fsusfied with the election of 31. Felix

WORK OF THE HOUSE.
Most of the Day Devoted to the Indian
Appropriation Bill.
W ashinpton. Jan 18.— No business of gen
eral importance was accomplished in the
House to-day. By unanimous t onsent the
District of Columbia had been given the
right of way. Before 2 o'clock the district
committee surrendered the floor, and the
rest of the day was spent in further con
sideration of the Indian appropriation bill
in committee of the whole. Without fin
ishing the bill the committee rose and at
4:20 o'clock the House took a recess till 8
o’clock, the evening session to be for the
consideration of private pension bills.
“When the gentleman says I believed
the lost cause to be right he slandered
mo. 1 know that cause was right."
With these words uttered by Mr. Jones,
dem., of Virginia, on the floor of the
House to-night, closed another and almost
riotous discussion, growing out of pro
posed pension legislation. The immedi
ate cause of the outbreak to-night was
the blocking of the bills to inert ase the
pension of the widow of Hen. Abner Dou
bleday and to pension another w idow who
had performed services as a volunteer
nurse during the w ar by the parliamentary
opposition of Mr. Jones.
Mr. Cooper, dem., of Indiana, took the
place of Mr. Springer last Friday night,
and with considerable temper he charged
Mr. Jones w ith a lack of chivalry in thus
opposing measures for the benefit of the
fair sex. He said, with something like a
sneer, that if Mr. Jackson, the great
leader of the party to which they
belonged, could be present, he would be
heartily ashamed of the demoeraey of the
gentleman from Virginia.
Mr. Jones responded with warmth that
he was fighting women, and asserted that
there was no foundation for the charge.
"What I am fighting for," he said, "is
equality before the law, and against the
granting of large pensions to the rich,
powerful and influential."
"I question the motives of the gentleman
from Virginia," shouted Mr. Cooper. "His
opposition to these pension bills, I be
lieve, is actuated by the sentiment ex
pressed by him last Friday night, w hen he
said he was proud of the cause he had
fought in the trenches. Although he has
taken an oath now to support the flag
that floats above your head Mr.
Speaker," pointing to the stars and stripes
above the desk, "he now displays toward
it the same spirit of opposition as when
he fought against it 20 years ago. I say
only what he himself says."
Mr. Simpson, pop., of Kansas, Mr. Cox,
dem., of Tennessee, and Mr. Moses, dem.,
of Georgia, took part in the colloquy.
Epithets were bandied about and for a
little time it looked as if a personal con
flict might ensue. Mr. Simpson said he
was not only surprised, but ashamed that
a man from the south should come here
and say, as Mr. Jones had said, that he
still believed in. the lost cause—a cause
founded on slavery.
Getting the floor ostensibly to ask Mr.
Simpson a question, Mr. Talbert, dem., of
South Carolina, whose controversies with
Mr. Pickier on pension nights earlier in
this congress, were the relieving features
of those sessions, made a violent speech,
despite the utmost endeavors of the chair,
Mr. Bretz, dem., of Indiana, to rap him to
order. He ranged up and down the cen
ter aisle, wildly gesticulating and shouting
loudly. He depreciated, he said, the con
tinual appeal to sectional passions, but he
noticed that they usually came from those
who were "invisible in war and invincible
in peace.” As to "the lost cause,” he said,
“it is the everlasting cause, and cannot
be lost, because it is the cause of liberty.
Under the same circumstances,” he. con
tinued, shaking his fist in a defiant manner
at the republican side, "and for the same
reason, the men who fought then would
again. You can like that or you can
lump it. I believe in the cause to-day ns
much as I did when a boy, 1 bared my
bosom to your bullets on the battlefields
of Virginia."
Mr. Jones was accorded the floor for a
few minutes at the close of the session,
and denounced Mr. Cooper’s language
toward hint as being unworthy of a gen
man. Referring to the “Host Cause," he
said ho would answer always and every
where as he had then, "that he was proud
of it, and when the gentleman said I be
lieved it to be right he slandered me. I
know it was right.”
This brought the House to the hour of
10:30 o’clock, at which time the session
closed under the rules, and on motion by
Mr. Martin, dem., of Indiana, it was ad
journed until to-morrow. Afier the ad
journment knots of members gathered In
the aisles, and discussed the exciting
events of the session until literally driven
out by the janitors shuting off the tight.
SESSION OF THE SENATE.
Two Hours Spent on the Fending Treaty
With Japan.
Washington, Jan. 18.—The Senate spent
nearly two hours to-day in secret session,
considering the question of ratifying the
pending treaty with Japan. No final ac
tion was taken and the matter was post
poned till next Friday. While in legisla
tive session the army appropriation bill
was passed, Mr. Mitchell, rep., of Oregon,
having carried his point for the retention
of the military posts at Vancouver and
Walla Walla, so contemptuously described
yesterday by Mr. Blackburn, dem., of
Kentucky, as “military barnacles."
A joint resolution was passed to revive
for the benefit of Maj. Gen. Schofield, the
grade of lieutenant general of the army.
Another financial bill was launched on
the turbid stream of legislation by Mr.
Peffer, pop., of Kansas, the title of it be
ing "to replenish the treasury and provide
an abundant and safe currency.” It was
referred, as all other projects of like char
acter, to the finance committee.
The Nicaraguan canal bill was taken up
and Mr. Caffery, dem., of Louisiana, con
tinued his speech against the constitu
tionality of the measure, in which speech
he had been interrupted last week. An in
effectual effort was made to have a time
fixed next week for taking a final vote on
the bill.
The Senate, at 5:10 o'clock, adjourned till
to-morrow.

SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1895.
DEMPSEY SHOWS ITDRUNE
The Flight Awarded to Ryan After
Three Farcical Rounds.
The Mill Stopped At the Request of the
Club and In Compliance With the
Shouts of the Spectators—Dempsey
Drinking Hard Ever Since His Return
North From New Orleans—He Seemed
to Have No Idea of the Importance of
the Fight Ryan In the Pink of Condi
tion.
Coney Island. N. Y., Jan. IS.—lt has been
some years since a prize fight in this
vicinity has attracted such a widespread
interest as the 15-round contest between
Jack Dempsey, the once famous nonpareil
and middle-weight champion of America,
and Tommie Ryan of Chicago, who is now
regarded as the cleverest welter-weight
in tho United States.
The minor events on the programme
proved to be the most satisfactory, how
e vcr.
Ryan was in first-class condition and
showed it plainly. It was equally appar
ent that the reverse was true of Dempsey.
Dempsey was twelve minutes behind
Ryan in entering the ring. In the first
round, Dempsey ac ted like a drunken man,
and many of the spectators were so dis
gusted that they left the building.
In the second round Dempsey made such
a miserable showing that the crowd
yelled: “Ho is drunk; take him off:"
"Shame." "Take him off." Just before
the call of time, Ryan knocked Dempsey
down with a left on the jaw and laughed
at him.
In the third round Ryan had Dempsey at
his mercy and simply played with him,
hitting him when and where he pleased,
while the crowd yelled at the top of its
voice: “Stop it, stop it."
Tim Hurst stopped the bout at the re
ouost of the club, owintr to Dempsey’s un
fi c i* iit on an 1 th • bat c wis awa dod
to Ryan. Tho time of the round was only
two minutes and live seconds.
Ryan was so far superior to Dempsey
that he could have knocked him out at any
moment he chose to do so, even in the
first round. Dempsey was very drunk
when he came upon the stage and it wa*
at the request of his own friends that the
club had the fight stopped.
It is said that Dempsey has been drink
ing hard ever since he came here from
New Orleans, and was drinking hard all
day to-day, and did not seem to care any
thing about his battle with Ryan or realize
its importance. It certainly is Dempsey's
downfall, and many of his admirers left
the building with heavy hearts.
GALVESTON’S PRIZE FIGHT.
Creedon and Bornan Appear to Be In
Excellent Condition.
Galveston, TCx., Jan. 18 —The Creedon-
Bernan fight, which occurs to-morrow
night, is pugillstleally the biggest event
that has ever occurred in Galveston, and
the public is doing its share to support
the enterprise. The advance sale of seats
is most gratifying to the promoters, and
it is predicted that the "standing room
only" sign will be read early in the even
ing. The audience will not be composed
entirely of local sports, as outside sport
ing men are daily arriving. Of course
I)an Creedon is the magnet that draws the
crowd, but Bernan has many admirers,
both here and elsewhere. The Creedon
party, consisting of himself, Tom Tracey,
Lew l’helan and George Davies, the sport
ing writer of the St. Louis Republic, ar
rived in the city Tuesday morning.
They repaired to the Reach hotel, oppo
site which training quarters have been
made for Creedon. It is an ideal pace
for training quarters, as the house is
built in the surf Creedon and his trainer
are delighted with the location. At pres
ent Creedon has considerable surplus
flesh, but he says by the time he Is ready
to enter the ring this will be off.
Oil his arrival In the city he weighed
170 pounds, but he has reduced five pounds
since Tuesday, and will enter the ring at
163.
Bernan is in the pink of condition, and
is a fine specimen of physical manhood.
He is training faithfully, and his friends
and trainers predict victory. He at pres
ent weighs about 178 pounds, but will
enter the ring at 175 pounds. He is a
hard hitter and a clever fighter, and the
sporting element predicts a spirited con
test.
Honest John Duffy will arrive Saturday
night to referee the contest.
A FEMALE COLLEGE ABLAZE.
The Building at Columbia Damaged
85,000 By Fire.
Columbia, S. C., Jan. 18.—This morning
about 8:30 o'clock the Columbia Female
College building, ohe of the oldest and
most thoroughly equipped college struct
ures in South Carolina, was discovered to
be on fire. The building was damaged to
the amount of $5,000. The fire originated
in the roof over the fourth floor dormi
tory of the western wing, and was dif
ficult for the firemen to get at it. It is sup
posed to have been caused by a defective
flue, and to have been burned during the
night. It had made great headway when
discovered. The young ladles, over 100
of them, were at the "morning study”
in the chapel. When the alarm was
sounded there was consternation, but the
girls were not panicky. Many of them
lost all of their wardrobe, jejvels, watches
and other effects. The girls were all got
ten out of the structure and the citizens
hastened to throw open their homes to
them. They are all quartered to-night in
private residences in Columbia. The fire
men fought the flames for two hours and
a half before they extinguished the fire.
The building was Insured for $27,000 and
the furniture for $2,500.
HUNG ON A PICKET FENCE.
An Ex-Auditor of Missouri Meets Death
in an Unusual Manner.
JefTerson City, Mo., Jan. 18.—Gen. J. A.
Hackney was found dead this morning
hanging on the picket fence in the rear
of the Pacific house. He w'as drinking
heavily last night, and it Is supposed he
fell, caught his neck between two palings
and was unable to release himself. Gen.
Hackney was at one time auditor of the
state, and in 1852 he was appointed adju
tant general for the Mate by Gov. Price,
At one time he was quite wealthy.
CONDITION OF THE TREASURY.
An Immediate Issue of Bonds Not Con
sidered Probable.
Washington, Jan. 18.-The treasury gold
reserve was reduced by to-day's with
drawals to s7’>, 712,126. The second bond
issue raised the gold reserve to $111,000,000.
Since November 22, when the gold from
the second issue began to be received,
tho treasury has lost more than s4>,ooo,non
in gold received from that isue which
netted, with the premium, about $5S.u,-
000. No serious talk of a third bond issue
is heard now in official circles and none
!s believed to be iminent. The general
condition of the treasury is better than at
the date of either of the other two issues
as is shown by these figures:
First call for bonds, January 17. ISfd.
net gold stifi,ooo,X)o; net treasury balance,
$82,'100,000.
Sei ond call for bonis. November 12, net
gold. $50,000,000; net treasury balance, $107,-
000,000.
The treasury condition, with the inter
est payments which are still carried as
an asset, taken out, as they will be on
Feb. 1, stands to-da\ : Net gold, $7i>.712.-
120; net treasury balance, $142.0j2.000. in
all three cases as given, the treasury net
balance includes the gold reserve.
The lowest point ever touched by the
gold reserve was on Aug. 7, 1894, when it
stood at $62,189,500.
The general treasury condition is good,
kept so hy r the heavy receipts, which are
constantly increasing. Further increase
is looked for next month and month
alter. Assistant Secretary Vurtis said to
day that from the present outlook the re
ceipts for February will equal the expen
ditures. For this month, were it not for
tho heavy interest payment sent, the re
ceipts would equal the expenses. Jan
uary is always the month of the heav
iest expenditures of any of the twelve,
and this month In addition to the heavy
Interest paymonts, more than $2,000,00ft
in Central Pacific railroad bonds have
been paid.
With the favorable outlook for the im
mediate future it is probable that the
gold reserve may be allowed to fall below
$30,000,000 before a third issue of bonds
.
Philadelphia, i’a., Jan. 18. Rub-Treas
urer Bigler received a dispatch from Sec
retary Carlisle to-day ordering him to ship
$300,000 in gold to the New York sub
treasury', in addition to a similar sum
transported this week. A heavy shrink
age in the supply of gold in the New' York
sub-treasury, because of exports, has
caused the transfer from this city.

Many of these mn applied to the British
and American ministers, but received no
satisfaction except that they would see
that the prisoners had a fair trial. With
ono or two exceptions, the arrests were
made on the charge of conspiracy. They
are all confined at the Oahu prison. Jn
j eluding the prisofl' rs of war, the govern-
I ment has over 150 men confined in the
prison, all having some connection with
the rebellion.
An attempt to land arms at Kaako,
beyond the marine railway, from the
steamer Waitnaualo, was undoubtedly
j made on the 3d instant. It was frus
trated hy the vigilance of the police, but
a second attempt was successful. On the
evening of Sunday, Jan. 6, as many as
600 rifles were landed between Walalac
and Diamond Head, nearly six miles
from town. Some 009 natives were col
lected there and received guns and ammu
nition. The Waitnaualo, Capt. Davis,
landed rifles In whale boats. He brought
! them from beyond Waialac, where they
i had been landed from the schooner Norma,
! from Victoria, if our Information Is cor.
rect.
The natives were under the command
I of Bob Wilcox and Sam Nowlein. They
j captured and detained everybody who
1 discovered them and cut the telegraph
and telephone wires so that no informa
tion could reach the city until near night.
Charles Carter was In the first party
that showed light to the rebels on Sunday
night. The greatest surprise of the event
was the fact that Wilcox had a field piece.
It has not been captured, but a haul was
made of 120 carbines, 600 cartridge belts
filled, and 500 additional rounds and
twenty-five dynamite hand grenades of
foreign make. Young Carter died on
Monday morning.
The effect of Carter’s death at the out
set was salutary In creating unusual ar
dor among the loyal citlzena to crush the
enemy. A large number of doubtful per
sons eagerly came torward to shoulder
guns for the government. Hundred* have
offered their services as special policemen
and otherwise. The volunteer troops are
nearly up to their full strength of 300 and
have done severe work for four days In
the field and on guard duty. Over 500 tnen
of the civic guard, many of them elderly,
kept the town thoroughly patrolled for
four nights and no person has passed Im
portant street corners at night without
being halted and scrutinized. It has been
Impossible for any insurgent to get
through the town and give aid to the
enemy from this side
Including the regulars, police, volunteer
troops, special police, sharp-shooters, cit
izens guard and other volunteers, tho
total number of men carrying arms for
the government is not less than 1.200, all
eager for active service, and patiently
working as ordered. The number offer
ing their services has so large that
all the captured carbines have been Is
sued to arm them. These are Winchester
repeating carbines of good modern make.
Among those offering service have been
more than 100 natives. The native police
men have shown themselves extremely
brave and capable.
Judge Widemunn’s son, Carle, was with
the rebels. Among the latter were also
a number of white tnen from British
Columbia. Seven hundred and twenty
five Japanese marched over from Kahtt
ku, forty-five miles, and were sent homo
on Monday. It was their second mutiny.
One Sunday, 300 Japanese mutinied at
Kwh, and started for town, eighteen
miles. The Japanese authorities here
went out and made them return. It
would have been a severe task lo handle
these 3uo mutineers with all Ihe other
trouble. Yet the government feels It very
undesirable to he thus put under obliga
tions to the Japanese officials, as it helps
them in unpleasant demands which they
are Inclined to make.
Yesterday word came of a violent mu
tiny of 2eo Japanese on the plantation at
Walmea. Kauai. They left an American
for dead on the field. The grievance of
the Ewa Japanese was that the police
had raided a nest of gamblers among
them.
The 20,000 Japanese in Hawaii nre deeply
excited by the victories over China end
feel very important and superior. No
doubt the. late rumors of Insurrection also
acted as an additional ferment, making
thcry ready for outbreak at the slightest
provocation. This Ih but one of the ele
ments of Insecurity which contributes to
make It of some importance to keep here
a naval vessel of the United Ktatea to
protect the s2s,(*jft,oOO of property owned
by American citizens.
OUR TREATY WITH JAPAN.
Senator Frye Points Out a Bad Feature
' of tho New Convention.
Washington, Jail. 18.—The discussion of
the Japanese treaty, which was begun in
tho executive session of the Henato this
afternoon, almost Immediately after the
doors had dosed, developed more opposi
tion than It was thought existed. The ob
jection which had greatest weight came
from Mr. Frye. 110 called attention to
the provision in tho treaty that tics this
government up for eleven years In the
matter of tho "favored nation clause.” It
was shown by Mr. Frye that In every
treaty the United States has negotiated
with other powers containing this clause,
the right Is reserved to abrogate that
treaty after one year's notice. Our treaties
with England, Germany, Russia, France,
in short, all (lie great powers, contain this
stipulation, and it was contended that if
a treaty was ratified with Japan continu
ing such a elapse for ten years, and then
ablo to be abrogated only after the usual
notice of one year, that all our other
treaties would have to be treated in like
manner. This, it was shown, would work
to the greatest harm of the United States,
In case Hits government should see fit to
pass a law muklng discriminating duties
against merchandise Imported In vessels
other than American bottoms and abso
lutely prevent us from so doing, except
after the expiration of a period of eleven
years.
This view of the matter was taken by
many democratic senators, and It was fin
ally agreed that the treaty should be re
turned io the committee on foreign rela
tions for further consideration, and pos
sibly amendment. Jt was made tho spe
cial order for the consideration of the
Senate again next Friday afternoon.
BUOAR TRUST WITNESSES.
Broker Chapman’s Case Going to the
Federal Supreme Court.
Washington, Jan. 18—Eloverton It. Chap
man, the New York stoqk broker indicted
by tho grand Jury for refusing to answer
questions asked by tho senatorial sugar
trust investigation committee, was surren
dered to the authorities In criminal court
No. 2 this afternoon In order that his
counsel might take tho case to the su
premo court on an application for a writ
of habeas corpus. Jurlgo Cole relased
Lewis J. Davis from Mr. Chapman's bond
and committed tho latter to tho custody of
the United States marshal for this district.
Mr. Chapman Is only technically In cus
tody and not really restrained of his lib
erty. On Monday next Jero M. Wilson, his
attorney, will appear before the United
Slates supreme court and make applica
tion for a writ of liubeas corpus in order
to bring tho matter before the court for
an opinion as to whether tho law provid
ing for Iho punishment of contumacious
witnesses before Senate committees is
constitutional. This is the last legal hope
of the indicted brokers, newspapermen,
and sugar trust officials preliminary to
standing trial for the offense charged.
They have been overruled by the district
court of appeals, from wheih there is no
appeal In criminal canes to the federal su
preme court. The cases will not lie
brought to trial pending action in the
habeas corpus proceedings.
Messrs, llavemeyer, Searles, Jjeymour,
Shrivcr and Edwards have been notified
to appear In court Monday to plead to the
indictments. An effort Is being made to
postpone the case until Tuesday. Mr.
Chapman is at the Arlington hotel In
charge of a deputy marshal.

Deciaion Before Opening War on
Them.
Washington, Jan. 18.—Attorney General
Olney stated to-day that he had not given
United States District Attorney Glenn of
North Carolina instructions to proceed
against, the American Tobacco Company
of Winston. N. C.. as had been published.
The department of Justice Is awaiting the
decision of the supreme court of the Uni
ted States in the sugar trust case, in which
the question of the constitutionality of the
anti-trust law Is Involved. Should the law
be upheld the department of Justice. It Is
stated, stands ready to execute the law In
all the states, and against a number of
trusts about which evidence has been
quietly accumulated for some time past.
Until the supreme court decides, however,
no move against the trusts will be made.

A Set York Broker Floats $166,000 ol
Forged Paper.
Th© Bank Where He Placed It as Collat*

vestigation Reveals the Correctness
of Its Conjectures The Broker Con
fesses on Being Arrested—The Pris
oner Edwin O. Quigley of the Firm of
Quigley ft Tuttle.
New 3 ork, Jan. 18 —Edwin O. Quigley of
Quigley a Tutile. honk brokers, at No. •
Wall street, was arrested this morning bjr
Petectivo Keilly, on the complaint of
President William r. Ft. John of the Mer
cantile National Bank. He Is charged
with having secured loans of $144,000 on
ss7.flf> city of Cleveland. O.; $68,000 city of
Hprtngtield, O.; $35,000 city of Harrisburg,
Fa., and $6,000 city of Zanesville, 0., bonds,
a total of $166,000 forged bonds. Quigley
confesses to the forgery and exonerates
his partner, who la a resident of New
Haven. Quigley Is a resident of Orange.
N. J.. and claims that he lost the money;
In speculation.
The forgery was discovered yesterday,
when the Mercantile Bank presented at
the American Exchange National Bank a
coupon from a Cleveland city bond for
payment. Quigley was arrested thig
morning and taken to the Mercantile Bank,
where he confessed.
President St. John had been at work all
night and attachments were Immediately
levied upon Quigley's office, and his va
rious brokers In Wall street. His prop,
erty tn Ornnge Is In the name of his wife,
and cannot he reached. President St. John
said the banka apparent loss will ba
greatly reduced by the levies under at
tachment. The firm of Quigley A Tuttle,
dealers tn county and municipal bonds,
and other Investments securities, was or
ganized In 1890, Quigley having been con
nected with a firm of older customers of
tho firm. The firm was organized under tha
advice of Mr. Tuttle's father, one of tha
most substantial and best posted citizens
of New York, himself a long time friend
of the bunk. Evidence of confidence In
the firm on the part of money Institu
tions and others throughout New Eng
land, and the business like conduct of the
account, left no room for suspicion of
Quigley at any point. The bonds forged
were of elites whose eredlt Is high and
they were hypothecated to the bank In
parcels from time to time, under ex
changes of collateral among the differ
ent loans. Quigley ailrlhutes his down
fall to speculations of which he kept no
record, depending on memoranda. In ap
plying to unothor broker for a valuation
of securities, the Mercantile bank was led
to question the validity of the Cleveland
bonds and lo silence tho doubt sent tha
coupon to the American Exchange Na
tional Hank, with the reault noted.
Quigley Is about 36 years old, and was
originally a civil engineer. He then be
cume connected with the bond house of
H. A. Kchii ft Cos. of Chicago, which ©s
tahliahed a branch house In New York,
Quigley coming on as an employe. He
then entered Into a copartnership wtth
Kurson, Leach At Cos., withdrawing later
to form the firm of Quigley, lfarriman da
Tuttle, Ilarrlnian withdrawing later.
William I’. Tuttle Is the son of the Ist*
John B. Tuttle, treasurer of the News
Haven Savings Bank, who died two years
ago, leaving a considerable sum to his son.
■Mr. Tuttle has been located In New Haven
for a firm which did p. big business tn
bonds with New England Institutions.
It Is believed that Quigley resorted to ths
experiment of borrowing money on forged
bonds to conceal his outside losses from
his partner, who relied upon Quigley for
the management of the firm's business.
It Is not believed that he lost all of tha
money In speculation, as he states. H<*
WHS a very high liver and a member of
all the swell Orange clubs. He was n|so
Interested In trotting horses and had a
stock farm In New Jersey. He speculated
In Wall street through a number of brok
ers, but his largest speculations were It*
bonds, lie Is supposed to have lost heavily;
on account of the decline In the new fi pen
cent, government bonds. In which he wag
largely Interested.
Tho coupon on the Cleveland city 4H pen
cents was presented for payment only to
verify a suspicion that tho bonds wers
forged. No attempt to collect the coupons
had even been made as Quigley Apparently
only used the bonds for hypothecation
with the hank and substituted other bonds
when tho alleged coupons became dus
and tore oft tho coupons before returning
the bonds for further rehypothecation. It
Is not known whether Quigley sold any of
these forged bonds or used them In New
England for purposes of borrowing money.
Ills principal account was with the Mcr.
cantile National Bank, although he se
cured loans from other sources upon col.
lateral, as is customary with bond broker*
doing a large business.
There was no assets at his office, but
sn attempt will be made to rerover as fag
as possible from hts partner, who Is sup.
posed to have a large property tn New
Haven. The bank does not know yet how
far Tuttle can be held responsible for tha
operations of Quigley, but are Investigat
ing the matter.
At the same time that Quigley was
brought to the general sessions building,
Mr. Battle went before the grand jury
with Lawyer Bronell and the case waa
presented. An Indictment was found at
once for forgery In the first degree.
Quigley was then arraigned before Re.
corder Goff. H was very much broket!
up. When asked to plead he stood with
bowed head and murmured "guilty.'* Ha
was at once taken bark to the Tombs.
