Bogus Bonds Successfully Disposed of New Yorg, Nov. 24.—A special from Newport, R.L, says: The following swindling operation came to light in this city to-night. Abont six months 2go a man called upon Oliver Read, a wealthy banker'of this city, and requested him to purchase 17,000 of Central Pacitic Railroad 10 “per cent income bonds. Read told him that Le would not purchase, but that he would sell them for him for 134 percent, The man .com- | sentod, and Read, jmrisiiately forwarded them to Fisk & Hateh, New York, for _them to sell for him. Indue season Read received & .telegram {rem Fisk & Haich stating thmt théy had c- coeded in disposing of them, and that they had blaced the procceds to his'credis at 8 bank in that city. ‘Thereupon Retd informed his man, who, by the way, “had failed to_state his name, that ho had sold them, and paid the man $14,600, alter deducting the commissions, and thoge of Tisk & Hutch.

Alleged Mimcu.ious Escape from the Jaws of Deatiy A Man Said to Have been Found Hanging from the Adams Street Viaduct. A Times Reporter Claims to Have Discoy- ‘ered Him There, and Res« cned Him, : . As Mr. ik Novins, of the Times, wag pass- ing over Adams strest bridge at alate hour on Saturdsy evening, bearing proof-slips of a Bpecch, which was kindly farnished his paper by TaE TRIBUNE, & chilling and blood-curdling ery. for help smote his acuté ear. He haatily de- scended to the dock, from whents the sound ap- parently proceeded, 40d Wis busily engagéd in searching for the duthor thereof, when-a second shriek startled him. This time the cry came from sbove. Looking upward, Mr. Nevins be- held the body of a man dangling from the edge of the pathway over the viaduck. Thé bnly thing that saved him fiom being dashed to atoms on the railwiy tracks béreath was his fast relaxing hold on the sharp end of the foot-path, Another horrible yell admonished the journalist that, if he wished to save tho life of a fellow- beiiig, thers was no time to lose. He hastened’ up to the viaduet again, and rushed madly to the éircumseribed home of the bridge-tender, close by. Beizing that functionary by the collar, he dragged him to the spot where the imperriled person hung. Between the two, thounfortunate man was rescued. He was 80 scared by his near apfrmach to a horrible death that he was scarcely able to relate to Mr. Nevins how he came to be placed in such an awkward position, It appears that while passing over the viaduct some minutes in advance of his preserver, he was set upon -by two highway robbers, ome of whom stunned him with & blow of a blunt weapon. While prostrate on the sidewalk, they went through his' pockéls, and being, tinable to find & cent; théy détermined to take revenge upon lijm for having put thém to so much néég- less and tinprofitable trouble, To this end they threw himi over the rai 5} #nd then hurriedly made their o, fully belioving, no doubt, that their victim hufceue to trouble himself about earthly matters. As the man was descending to inevitable death, he grasped the edge of the sidowalk, and thére hung. Then aroso the cry which first aroused the newspaper men. After relating his story, and tendering profuse thanks to his delivérers, thie rescued took his departure. The fact that - this interesting item did not appear in yesterdsy's Times can only be accounted for in one way. Mr. Nevins' thrilling narrative of the affair was evidently disbelieved by his superiors, who are not in the habit of emplo%‘ing men of such bmv;g and hu- manity, Tue TrisUNE hastens to do M. Nevins Justice, and to record the fact that, amid all the excitement of the terrible scene in which. he’ took such an active part, he gallantly clung to the proot-slips. 4 N. B.—Upon further consideration, Tz Triz- USE inclines to the belief that Mr. Nevins did not speak of his adventure when he reached the office, He was doubtless afraid (and justly so, t00, poor man) that e would be ordered to writa four or five columns about it, in order to get up a ‘‘scoop,” and look enterprising. It was an elegant opportunity to show that, when Times Teporters are not employed in *‘ detecting™ and Tetracting libels on respectable Iadies, they aro emplogo in the laudable work of relieving dis- tressed humanity. - P. S.—There is a possibility that there is not the slightest shadow of truth in the Zimes re- porter’s story. LaresT—TrE TRIBUNE, upon farther consider- ation, inclines to the belief that there is'nt. THE SPORTING WORLD. ‘THE TURF. Yesterday (Sunday) morning, two gentlemen resolved upon a novel race. North LaSalle street was selected as the course, and the ¢ stock " entered consisted of two Texan oxen. They were attached to superior trottiig wagons, and were decorated with ribbons of every color. “Time" being called, the oxen were bronght to. the score, which latter was a wagon backed up against the curb. There was no special ‘im- patience manifested by either steer, which was accounted for by the supposition that both felt confident of victory. The judge took the stand, (which consisted of the bed of the wagon to which the ¢ starting pole” was attached); the jockeys took their seats, and, finally, everything being in readiness, the word ““Go” was pronounced. Sucha start has not been witnessed sinca the old cow (who may have been the mother of these oxen) died. One of the steers shot off with the speed of a rocket, its ribbons flying in the air, and tossing his hei in proud triumph at the victory which seemed to await him. On he madly rushed, Fu.saing the limits of the course, where 'ackcfi; opped. The wagon flew into a hundred splinters, yet on rushed the steer. His tail is that has aince been discovered of him. But what of the other steer ? - Sensible animal that he was ; “Go" did not infuse into him such madness as to attempt to run a race, neither could the whip start him. He stood at the starting-post till he was led lwny,d and thus ended one of the novel races on record. Trons tho Tat, Field. snd ¥ m the Turf, Field, and Farm. There is nothing that tends so much _to pro- mote success in the breeding and training of thoroughbred stock a8 the spirit of emulation; and, a8 a general thing, there are no men so sus- cepfible £ its influences as gentlemon identified with turf sports, whether a8 owners of stoock or otherwise. It was this feeling that has led to all the great turf events, which, at the time of their occurrence, created a new epoch in our turf history. It wasto this spirit of emulation that weowe the great match between Eclipse and Henry, in 1823, when Eclipse, the Northern champion, defeated his Southern antagonist in a hard-contested race of four-mile heats; and the - Boston and Fashion match, in 1842, when Fash- ion defeated the hitherto invincible * 01d White- nose,” the hero of forty races, thirty of them ] st four-mile heats, and earned for herself the proud title of Queen of the Turf; snd the great races botween Wagner and Grey Eagle, in _ 1839, when the former defeated the Ksnmnf:y Favorite, Grey Eagle, in two hard-fought battles of four-mile heats each, Grey Esgle breakingdown in the second confest ; and the match betweon Peytons and Fashion, when the former wrenched from Fashion her laurels as Queen of the Turf; and the proposed mesting of Kentclky and Asteroid, in the Inanguration 8takes at Jerome Park, to settle themerita of the rival sons of Lexington, the latter breaking down on the eve of the race : and later still, the meeting of Longfellow and Harry Bassett, in the Monmouth Cup last sum- mer,” when the son of Leamington beat his hitherto invincible rival, and Harry Bssset turn- the tables on him two weeks atter in the Barato- ga Cup, when Longfellow broke dows. It is such occasions as these, amid the splendors of a snm- mer’s sun, with the principal patrons of the turf present, sssisted by womsn's amile, that lend = enchantment and excitement to turf sports and make a victory doubly valusble, Keeping in view the value that such great races ane beean to the American turf, annexed will be found one of the boldest challenges ever isgued by any turfman in América. We are euthorized to sy it before our readers, and ex- pect that the challenre will be accepted by one or more of our turfmen : ZEditors Turf, Field and Farm: .+ I authorize you to state that I will match my stable, three races, sgainst any horse or horses in the world, to namo at the post, two, three, and four-mile heate, for $10,000 or $20,000 each race.

The financial diffi- culties experienced by Eastern professional’ as- sociations the past season has deterred them from teking any hasty sction. If anine ighired, it will be at’ greatly reduced salaries. It has been discovered that the best paid professionals aro not the most successful players, and that ex- nsive nines are not to be the rule the coming g:ll season.

A Poor Norweginn Loborer Falls Heir ton Fortunc of $40,000—An Attempt Made to Rob Him of n Portion of His Wealth, 3 An impecunious Norwegian laborer, named John Nileson, who, forseveral yenrs past hag been employed trucking fraxg}:t in the Pitis- buigh; Cincinnati & 8t Louis depot, atthe meagra silary of §1.50, carhe into possession of the gniig fortune of $40,000 & few days si_mie. The money was bequeathed tohim by a cunB{der- ate relative of his wife’s, who died in Califor« nis reently: When John became fully satisfied that the rich prize was securely in his grasp, he resigned his Incrative railroad position; collected the arhount that was due him by the company, and sallied forth in ‘search of & ept?t wherehecould spend theremainder of hisdays in that peace and comfort which had hitherto been denied him: A neat little cottage on the North Side took his fancy. Ho purchased it. The fol- lowing evening, he encountered one of those misfortnnes which wealth sometimes entails upon its possessor. His family hdd notyet moved into the cottage, and John visited it to make & few needful prepprations for their recep= tion, and to mark the effect of twilight on his future home. It appears that the news of his extraordinary good-fortune came to the ears of certain’ of his acquaintances; and two of them determined fo get a portiont of his wealth by fair means or foul. They fool- ishly imagined that he carried the $40,000 about with him wherever ho went. Upon being in- formed of his intention to visit the cottage on the evening referred to, they hastencd thither ahead of him: One managed to get inside, and the other secretéd himself without, Thus am- bushed, they awaited John's spproach, Ha walked up to the house very unconcernediy; and without the slightest suspicion of danger, un= locked the door, aud was about to enter, When & stinging blow in the faco reminded him that there was = foe somewhere in his immediate vicinity: Before he had had thme to recover fully from the effecta of - the violent salufation, he encountered a second and much more severe blow under the right esr, which laid _him ont . completely. _ Upom Te- covering conscionsnees ho found that all the money he bad in_his pocket, amounting to be« tween fifteen and twenty dollars, had been taken. Thanking his stars that the matter was no worse, he picked himself up, fastened the door again, and went home. 6 has not the slightest 1des who the robbers were, and does not feel inclined to make the Giscovery. Sudden wealth is apt to cause.men to forget unpleasant little trifies. John is now safely ensconced in leasant cottage, and is as happy as a man can be who can count more thousands to-day than units a week since. MORMONISM. 8 Address by the Rev. C. P. Syford, in Cente= nary Church—A Mormon Patriarchal Bless- ing. ;. The Rev. C. P. Syford, an evangelical mis- sionary, preached in the Centenary Charch, yesterday morning, on the subject of Mormon- iem, before & very large congregation. He exposed many Mormon practices, and severely denounced their religions system. As s speci- men of the credulity of Mormon believers, and the ignorance of their so-called teachers, he exhibited the following blessing,—otle of a number regularly issued to the faithful: PROVO CrTY, April 19, 1869.—A Patriarchal blessing given by C, W, H—, Patriarch, upon tho head of Mary, daughter of J. and D, M—, born Feb. 13, 1803, at Lancaster, England, in the Parish of Ashton. Aary, I place my hand upon your head to seal upon you's father's bleasing, which %ill be sealed in heaven for your good, for there was joy in heaven when you embraced the new and everlasting Cavenant; for the Father has led you through many dangerous scenes upon the esrth to Zion;that you might receive the rev- elations of God to comfort ‘you, and our Father will reveal unto you many things while you sojourn in this life, and no good thing shall be held from you. Thou art the daughter of Joseph, sud hast>a Tight fo the falness of the Prieathood with thy companion, in the kingdom upon the earth, Forever and ever thou shalt live thon art satisfled and partake of all the glories of Zion, and your name shall be handed down 10 the Intest generations, And your last days shall be your beat daye, and you shall be blest with everything; You will put your hand, too, in righteousmess, an #hall converse with Joseph and Hyriam, and many of the Holy Propheta,“sincs the world began; for thou hast witneseed many things of tho Father which he will give you in His own due_time, snd in_the hour you think not, your joy will ba grcat ad T sesl upon ou every desire of Four heart, with the blessing of eternal lives with all your Father’s houschold for ever and ever, Amen, v NOT YET EXTINGUISHED. The Big Conl Heap at the North Side Gus Works Still .Burning—One Thousand Tons Reduced to Coke. The Chicago Gas Light and Coke Company re< ceived daring the summer 10,000 tons of Pitte- burgh coal, which was stored in an immense shed at the works; near Division Street Bridge. On Fridsy morning flame issued from the heap, and it was scon apparent that the lower stratum was on fire, caused, it is eupposed, by the great pressure producing spontaneous combustion. Fire engines were summoned and have been playing on it since with but little effect, a8 it burncd yesterday as fiercely as ever. The only way to extinguish the emouldering mass is to remove all that can be removed from around the fire, which will then exhaust itself. Over one hundred men, twenty-five wagons, and anumber of wheel-barrows are busy day and night, and ‘relays will-be kept at work so as to save as much as 'possible. The ' Mayor vigited the ' scene yesterdsy, and gave the use of a portion of a street in which to dump the coal. One thousand tons have been reduced to coke, and the entire loss to the company, so far, is estimated at $20,000. Pure coal is 8afe when stored in bulk, no matter how highiit is piled, But this was impregnated with more than its fair share of sulphur, which ignited. At onme time the works were threat- ened, but that danger is believed to,be past. As the destruction of the apparatus would leave the North and South Divisions in darlmess for an unknown period, the dissster would affect everybody, and be very inconvenient during the ‘long winter nights. P A A Night of Peril—A Stage Load of Pas« sengers Narrowly Escape Freezing. “From the Yankton (Dakota) Press, Nov. 20, A party, consisting of Major Oscar Whitney, United States Agent incharge of the Indian sup- fly depot at Fort Randall, and & Sergeant from he 8ame point, Major Smith, Paymaster of this department, Captain Boyd, of the Seventeenth Infantry, from Cheyenne Agency, Guptain Dick- 6y and_ Lieutensnt Mscklin, of .the Tyenty- second Infantry, from Fort é‘mf’a arpived here Iast Thursday evening; the f4th, having narrow- 1y escaped tho most serious consequences. The journey as far as Springfield was com- paratively a pleagant one, which point they left o‘nloc’i p. m., W’ednesdayvni ht. After travelling two “or three miles, their first trouble began by the coach being precipitated in a deep snow-drift. If was bitter cold,—a violent snow and wind storm was raging, which added to_the darkness of the night, and made their position dreary and dangerous in tho extreme. Mteg several ineffectual attempts, 1t was soon foun: that the horses were unable to drag the heavy losd out of the driff, and the pasten- gers . wero compelled fo alight in, a in linding storm - apd’, fl&kne!iih and aid in clearing away thé drift for the horses- to pass. e work was a slowand tedious one, and the driving enow soon penetrated the heavy coats and under-garments of the passengers, almost drenching them, and at the same time chilling them to the very bones, and to add to the danger of their ‘situation, it was discovered that they were off the rozd, and the driver ]mey_ not in which direction it lay. - It was then deci- ded tq send the driver with the horses to find, it possible, the road, and the passengers were to remain- in the coach and await®his return. Shortly after agreeing upon this plan, the rond was found, and the party started for Bon Homme, which point they reached Thursday morning at 5_o'clock, where they were kindly ed and hospitably entertained. - W%?n‘?em?:g the Indians belonging to sfifi,d Tail's band, there is no special news.

LIVELY WORK. Oneé Hnidred anid Nincty-five Miles of Trick Litd il T‘;{'cmy-flhr“ Honxe: From fhe Delrojt Post. . On Sunday, without the aZightdst deluy of the f‘a'esenger trains, the gauge of the Grand Trink ailroad, fromt Satnis to alo, & distance of 195 miles, wis :‘.hm%ed fromthe'wide to the nar- row. AMr. C. J. Bry sé':t, the Managing Director of the road, informed our réporter {esterflny that some months since it was decided o chenge the gauge of the road, experience having proven the narrow gauge to be the best in all respects. Beside, nearly all the connections of this roxd, especially those in New England, are marrow- u%ge, 4nd thid chiange will obviate much of the eretofore necessary delsy and trouble of trans- shipmatit or change of car-geuge, nce decid$d upon this changs, £11d the prepa- rations commenced 1 eirest. At thé car shops a large force of men wis ¢t o work mantfac- turing narrow-gaugecars, and already 800 freight and temuuenger cars have beét! completed. These will be used on the Buffalo line, znd the passenger train that left this city last evening wasg composeéd of & portion of these ten passen- ger coaches. A sufficient number of narrow- gauge Jocomotives have also been procured to operate the rosd from this cix to Buffalo. In fact, this lide is now um E‘wen supplied with rolling stock, most of which is entirely new: e ‘While the cars, locomotives, etc., were build- ing, other preparations werg i:eing made else- where: Gangs of men were et to work allalong thé line from Sarnig to Buffalo, (the eection be- tween Detroit and )Porf.l Huron was slresdy ~ hdtrow-geuge) clearing away A Soatrustity " Gah and driving _ the spikes that were soct to hold, the inside flanga of theroils. This doné, there only ‘remained the drawing of the present ineido apikes, the pustiinig of therails over tothe newly-driven ones, Hhe driving of still others at the outaide of the rails, and thd gtge of the road is changed. This great work was #ccomplished in less then & single day and night. -+ T At 6 o'clock, Sunday mornitig, the_ laat train on the road was switched upon & side-track at Stratford, st -which hour 600 men, it small angs, - commericed labor at nearly one hundred erent points. 6 levers, with which the spikes are drawn as easily and nearly as rapidly a6 nails pulled with & claw-hammer, were'first brought into play, and the spikés holding the rails on the inner gide were druwnm, the rails pushed over to their new places, the spikes te:driven, ahd slowly and_surely the work went on, hiaiid-cars following the gangs with provis« ions, extrd t06ls, and éverything that there was a probability frotld be needed. Each geng of men had a certain specified section of road to complete, and & majority of these finished their work in fifteen hours; but for forty miles west of Buffalo about two feet of snowr fallen on Satittdsy, and this had to be removed with shoy- els. At five o'clock yesterday morning, how- ever, the whole had been completed, and at that hour (the regular time on Monday morning) 2 train Jeft Stratford for the west, and all other trains ran during the day the same as usual. Upoh the main linona change of gauge will be made yet for two years, it being impossible to Booner ¢orstruct the immense number of cars end locomotives required to operate the seven hundred and eighteen miles of continuous rail- way between Stratford and Portland, to ssy nothing of its hundreds of branch lines. At the expiration of that time, hawever, it is expected by the officers of theroad, that th:filmse both of #he trunk lines and its branches, will bothanged, Meantime_shift-gange cars ‘will be used, the change being effected at Stratford, thus avoid- ing msfiipmenn ‘Tomeet the present re- wrements of the road, sixteen hundred of these cars have been provided, and more are be- ing constructed, Woodhull Matters. New Fork (Nov. 19) Correspondence of ths Boston Journal. Strenuous efforts have been made to get Vic- toria Woodhull and Tennie C. Claflin out of Ludlow Street Jail, but so far without success. It will take from 825,000 to $80,000 to bail the women. Besides the suit on which they are ar- rested, there areseven or eight other suits al- ready to be served if these parties get bail in'the resent case. There are libel smits; suita for lackmail ; suits in the State Courts, as well s in the United States Court, and the result of bail, if it conld be obtained, would not free the women from durance vile. While Mr. Beech- er's friends have nothing to do with the arrest of Mrs. Woodhull and her sister, there are outside parties who are determined to have this matter_probed to the bottom. Over thirty gentlemen have received letters demanding money on the threat of attack in the public prints. Some have paid money to avoid an un- welcome publicity. Others have said, “Go ahead,” while one gentleman who was visited in his office by & woman, arose from his ‘seat, took her by the collar, led her to the hend of the stairs and fold herif ahe ever darkened his doors agein he would fling her down the stairs if he broke every bone in her body. Challis is deter- mined to this matter through the courts. ‘both on the civil and criminal side of the bench. The extent of this businces in New York is perfectly marvellons. It is carried on mainly by women, with & man in the back ground. A shrewd lawyer is retained, and the businees is often carried on under legal advice. The most adroit arts are resorted to, and reputable men are often taken in, finding themselves in & bad muss, pay money to eecape. A gentleman was starting‘from the street, not long since, for his home in upper New York. As he was enter- ing his carriage, & woman approached him, well dressed, modest in appearance, and_apparently in distress. She was a stranger—had come down to meet s friend—he had not come—would the gentleman be kind enough to tell her the way to the street named— naming the ome in which the banker lived—was never in New York pefore—did not Jnow what she should do—wringing her handa in agony. The gentleman offered her a seat in his carriage, and left her at the desired point. The next day, in the fush of business; s Iad cams in and gaid a lady wished to speak to thd gentle- man, in her carriage. On going ont, he discov- ered the identical woman whom he had aided the day before. She wanted $1,000, and if she did not receive it down town, she should call for it at his house some evening. The Teport is that the merchant was bled to the tune of 3,000, when he thought if was time to hand- the case over to the authorities, and the whele affair will have an airing in due time. Mr. Comstock is ayoung New York merchant who is destined to have his name somewhat widely known. He has been engaged for over a yesY in seizing vile literature and bringing men engaged in the trade totrial, and often to the Pen- itentiary. He has been doir own cost, and for a time without much sympa- thy, He wasthe complainant on whose affidavit the-Woodhull party were arrested and are still holdin jedl. He proposes to have this whole matter thoroughly sifted. He has letters and proofs of & system of blackmailing that are per- fectly astounding, which shows to whai sn alarming extent this work ig' carried. It is Iknown that for over & year Mr. Beecher has been in receipt of blackmailing letters, to which, of course, he paid no attention. Iam told by a gentleman who has means of knowing, that the vile article in the Woodhull paper was sent to Mr. Boecher before it was published. “Mrs. Woodhull, her sister. Claflin, and Blood, ench swore before the Court thatnéither of them wrote the article. It was attributed to a distin- guished FreaLove Philosopher. But he denies all knowledge of the affair, and hé would be be- lieved anywhere. The eauthorship has been traced to a source that wonld hardly be expect- ed. A gentloman told me to-dsy that he had positive proof in his possession a8 to the writer of,the libel, and that it will be brought out in due time. He had something to do with the arrest of the gfirfies, and whne_wnlc;nn% Mrs. Woodhull's office, waiting for the Sheriff, hesaw the person to whom the article is attributed sit- ting on the sofa with the two women, and he left the room only a few moments before the 0f course neither of the par- ties supposed that any legal proceedings were to fake place. ; ¥ —_— Sales of Short Horn Cattle.

Damages REeccived from a Dresse maker for 'a Spoiled Dress. From the 5an Francisco Bullelin. Justice Verdinal, yesterday, gave judgment for one Sarnh Green, against Markg Bechiel and wife. Mrs. Bechtel, who is a professional dress- maker, roceived from the plaintiff twenty-three | yards of black silk, costing 340, which she made into s dress, being paid $15 for the work. When the dress was delivered, it was not tried on, Mra. Bechtel's statement that it was all right being accepted as trig, It was mot found fo be large enough, and sult wis brought for the value.of the silk, and for the money paid for making the dress. The defence was, that the dress wassa perfect natural fit, and thst the plaintiff would not have found it too small had she not endeav- ored to improve upon.nature. The plaintiff re- Tied chiefly on the testimony of John! e who festified that he was a professional dresse.. maker, and had followed the business for forty- two years. He declared the dress in question was improperly made. As stated, the plamniify recovered judgment. . 5 BUSINESS NOTICES.
