Somcrville, Teim.One or the liveliest and most flourishing

towns in West Tennessee is that or fc'omer-vlll- e,

Fayette count-- , or which it Is the county-s-

ent. Tlio population numbers about twohousaud persons, and all kindsor business isgenerally brlk throughout the year. Lastyear t'omervllle sent to Memphis S385 bales ofcotton, and the merchants do the great bulkor their trading In this city, owing to the easyand rapid communication dally between thetwo places rfo the bomervllle branch or theMemphis and Charleston railroad. There areseveral churches and a number or schools inthe thriving town, which is increasing inbusiness and population. A full report wasexpected from one of the leading citizens ofthe town of all matters a d things connectedwith Somerville, but unfortunately it has notcome to hand.

Stautoii's DepotCame into existence with the Memphis and

Ohioiallroad. Is a nourishing little town ofabout tour hundred inhabitants. Is popu-lated with some of the most energetic and in-telligent citizens of West Tennessee. It hasone hotel. Blacksmiths and wood-worke- areamong the mauufacturing,witli it number onesawmill. Six thousand, one iiundred andthirty-thre- e bales or cotton are secured andshipped, and a goodly amount or farmingstun. Trade with Memphis is very large.Farming lauds are valued at thtrty-nv- e dol-lars per acre, and yield one-ha- lf balo or cot-ton to' the acre, and four bushels or corn.Wells are thirty-fiv- e teet deep, and tlio Mississippi river is the nearest navigable river.Spruce and popular Is the lumber or the country.

Prtntlsa,A name that will ever shine illustrious, as theplace itself has become utterly insignificantsave as an occasonal landing place for wearysteamers, was once the county seat of Bolivar,but Eenlali, a book, ran the county mad, andthe courthouse was set going aud, halting lorn time at lleulah, was finally anchored atFloreyvllle. Prentiss is now an ancientlanding, where Messrs. Hughes "Williams,excellent gentlemen, manage the mercantilebusiness ot farmers and laborers. Twelvehundred bales are annually shipped fromPrentiss, two hundred miles, to Mem- -

Mis. Borland has a boardin ute atfbls. and there is little else attractiveabout the place.

A Bold and Successful Attempt to Forge' Bonds A ttapendous Frand.

Business in "Wall Street to be

Until the Facts, arc ThoroughlyExamined Ioto.

2Cew York, August 30. A bold audverv nearlv successful attemnt atswiudliug, by means of forged bonds,was maue in waiisueet lliia anernoon.A. W. Holbrook, of the flrm of JohnW. Eddy & Co, bankers, was in hisotlice, wuen ne was accosted by an oldgentleman, named Jirown, wno doesliusiness in Cedar street, and with whomHolbrook is well acquainted. Brownintroduced one Williamson, who is described as a fine-looki- man, whosaid he r

WISHED TO BORROWtwenty-fiv- e thousand dollars forsinvdays, at seven percent. and commissionHe offered as security thirty one thousand collars in New York Central bondsof 1S7G. Holbrook took one of the bondsand went out to place the loan elsewhere. He succeeded, and soon returned for other bonds, and, to his astonish-ment, Williamson had cone. He thenexamined the bonds, which purported tonave been signed uy .nisius t'ornincr.presitlent; Gilbert L. Wilson, treasurer,and Jacob Steinberg, register of coupons,aud found that the signatures were forgeries. Holbrook immediately stoppedtne loan just advanced, and informedthe detectives. Holbrook says he hasevery belief in Holbrook's integrity, andis convinced he was entirely deceived.lirown says lie became acquainted withWilliamson in March last, when heclaimed to be

INTERESTED IN A PATENTthen lately introduced. Of his antece-dents he knows nothing, and- - cannotgive any information respecting hisplace of residence. On Thursday, whilepassing through Broad street, he washailed by Williamson, who said hewished to raise some money on JJewYork Central sevens of 1S7C, and askedhim to negotiate a loan. Brown repliedthat he would, upon suitable commis-sion, aud made an engagement withWilliamson when the latter was to bringthe bonds to the office of Eddv&Co.Small lots, ranging from ten to thirtythousand dollus, are reported to beheldin Wall street as collaterals, ilany

EXAGGERATED REPORTS

were circulated as to the extent of theforgeries. The original issue of thesebonus amounted to three million uoilars, witli a convertabie clause. Most ofthem had been converted into stock,aud the amount outstanding was re-

duced to one hundred and ninety-fiv- e

thousand dollars, so that the forgeriesare likely to be traced and the perpetrators detected. &ome time ago tne po-

lice were informed that an effort wouldsoon be made to place in the market

FORGED CERTIFICATES

ofNew York Central stock, aud they wereon tue alert y. 'ine detect ives nadhardly cot the particulars of Williamson's attempt to secure a loan on someof the forged certificates, when wordwas brought to them that one LeonardBrown, of Ao. 113 .Broadway, was endeavoring to place sixteen of the bondswith Olcott & Co., to which firm he hadPreviously disposed of the genuine

firm on an examinationfound that one of sixteen offered bore thenumber corresponding with that of thogenuinebond already in their possession,and close scrutiny showed that the en-tire sixteen were forgeries. The detectives then ascertained that WordenSherman, of No. 9 Nassau street, wasendeavoring to negotiate for Brown aloan of twenty-fiv- e thousand dollars onthirty thousand dollars worth of New- -

York Central stock, consolidated issue,with Thomas Denny & Co., of No. 9Jauncey court. The detective called atSherman's oillce and saw Brown, who

APPEARED IMPATIENT,and walking up and down the office.Sherman entered directly after, andhanding Brown a bond told him hecould do no business to-da-y. Brownleft, and was arrested on the stairs bya detective, who found on him eight

bonds of the NewYork Central railroad, consolidated is-

sue. Brown was taken to thecentral office and locked up,and tho detectives Turther succeed-ed in recovering sixty-tw- o forgedbonds similar to those found on Brown,from two firms the names of which supnot given. The police say that therearo one million dollars worth of bondsready to flood Wall street, and that twohundred and fifty thousand dollars arealready placed there. Tho pnblic arecautioned to critically examine the following: New York Central siies of1SS3, 18S7, 1876, and Buffalo. New York,anil Erie sevens.

Williamson is believed to bo identifiedwith the

NOTORIOUS ROSS

and Wright. He appears to have beendealing through various brokers to avery great extent, principally iu NewYork Central sixes of 1SG7, New YorkCentral sixes of 1S83 and Buffalo, NewYork and Erie bonds.Williamson is an outside mant andwhether all the bonds just mentionedare forgeries or not, are merely coversby which he was enabled toissue forged bonds, U is impossibleto tell, The defectives think It advisa-ble for any persons who have boughtany of these classes of bonds just men-tioned, since tho date of tho last interestpayment, to have them exatrrfqei atthe ofliccs of tho several itompaules tohave their geuuiueness ascertained. Itis reported iu Wall street that a certainbank has been

VICTIMIZED.to the extent of fifty thousand dollars'worth of these forged bonds, and H isfurther reported that the arrest of severalprominent operators in Wall street maybe shortly looked fqr with reference tothis worthless paper. Since tiie arrestof Brown a large rjuantjty of bogus bondshave been discovered, as follows 0uthe person of the prisoner, 530,000;found witli one firm on Broadway,$30,000; with another fi.rm on Broad-way, SS2,O0u-mak- iug in all $02,000. Itwas rumored that other stocks had beencounterfeited, and that business will be

PARTIALLY SUSPENDEDia Wall street until thetruth is known. Williamson has passedunder tho alius of H. H. Williams, andIs said to have been discharged yearsago from tho position of bookkeeper toBrooks Brothers for peculation andforgery. Every eflbit is being made tosecure his arrest,
