Said to Hare Palmed Off Fraudnlonf Mort rapes on his Clients A Flye Days' Frnitless Search for the Accused and Tot Seen on TMnmdaj Within a Hundred Miles of Brooklyn.

On Monday last Justioo Wal6h issued a warrant for tho orrost of Frauots Q. Salmon, an attorney and counselor at law, resing at No. 343 Clinton street, this olty, and doing business on Broadway, New York. The oharge Is forgery. Deteotives Looney and Zundt were detailed to make tho arrest.

They went to hie residence aa given in the dlrsolory and found that ha was a boarder there, and had quitted home some days before. The offioers learned that the lady who keepa the house waa In the oountry, and they thoujht that Mr. Salmon might be there. They went to the place, aud, ooming on the lady and her friends unexpectedly, greatly alarmed them. The lawyer was not there and nothing was known of him.

Tbe only thing loft for the officers was to start on another task. For five days they went hither and thither far a fire hundred miles, but returned on Friday at they wont out, ouly to hear that a gentleman saw Mr. Salmon on the previous day within ono Hundred miles of this city at a railroad depot, with his satchel in bis hand and apparently on hia vacation. It appears from the very slender information that can bs got, that Mr. Salman is accused by a ollent of having forged a mortgage for about $4,000.

On this he hsa regularly paid the interest for some time. II was only by accident that the forgery was discovered. It ia sail that a aiiaploion exists that other fraudulent mortgages will be found. It is thought that Mr. Salman departed on his vacation, not anticipating the discovery ot the alleged forgery and that up to this time he ia In Ignorance that a warrant is issued for his apprehension.

Secretary Lincoln and Chief Engineer Wright, under whose dlreetlon the Mississippi River funds are to be expended, have returned the plans offered by tbe Mis elsslppt River Commission, suggesting certain changes whleh they deem necessary. The Commission will meet In New York on Monday for the purpose of considering the proposed changes, and, should they concur In the suggestions, General Wright's and Seoretary Ltnoola'a work will prosced at a very early date. The work on loreea and of forwarding material tor ohannol work will be dono by eontraot, after advertise ment for the lowest bidder. The work upon tho river itself will be by day's labor, under direction of the War Department offlclals. Advices from Baltimore show that the importation of iron ore there this year la likely to exceed that of lttBt year.

The imports of Iron ore last year at that port were 873,000 tons for this month alone they will amount to about" 30, Oto tons. The Marine Hospital Bureau is muoh enoouraged by the reports from Texas showing that the Mexican authorities have determined to oo operato with them in tho suppression of yellow fever.

COPR lilfo Saving Stations Along tne Coast Tne Fish Exhibition at tile London ContrreMS Greenbacks Appreciating Speoial Correspondence of the Eagle.

Washihqtoh, August 25. The life saving stations to be reopened along ths ooast on September 1 will be opened under more favorable olrcnmstanoes tbis year than ever before, and the 'Life Saving Service, whioh has already been of so great a uso to the shipping on our ooast and so great an honor to this nation, wUl be materially improved as compared even with last eeaBon's efficient work. Beside the faot that a number of new Ufa saving stations hare been created at various parts along tbe ooast and on the Great Lakes, the pay ot the men haB been Increased to a figure in some degree oommeu urate with the lmportanoe of the serrioes performed. Formerly they received but $1.83 per day, now they are to have $50 per month, while tbe pay of the captains, upon whom rests all the responsibility, Is also increased in about the Bame proportion, A number of new stations are to be opened at points where they have boen heretofore badly needed, and they will add largely to the effloienoy of the service. The work of the year just dosed was a noble one.

Its rooord is not yet entirely made up, but enough is obtained to ahow that tho number of lives saved must be about 2,000, and tbo value of property prevented from deatraotlon, $8,000,000. The report of tho last year's work, ending June 30, 1881, shows 1,854 lives saved and 24 lost In tho scope of coast line ooverod by the service. The estimated value of tho vessels involved was $2,750,000, and the value of cargoes $1,800,000. Making a total of over four millions, of whioh about three millions was saved. The Life Saving Service In the past tan years has saved 12,000 persons and fifteen millions in monoy.

Tbe growth of its effloienoy has, too, been very marked. Tho number of casualties upon the coasts and rivors and lakes of the United States has, during the past ten years, rauged at about 1,600 per year, and the number despite the precautions of the Light House and Signal Servlco work has not decreased muoh, but the loss of lifo has decreased from one In every 30, on vessels suffering casualty in 1875, to one in every 100 now, or one to every three casualties then, and oue to every aix now. THK IU3H EXHIBITION. Active preparations are going forward at tho Smithsonian to get the fish exhibit ready for the newly launched vessel whloh ha3 beeu built for the Fish Commissioner, aud whose first work is to be the oarrylng of the exhibit of the 'United States to London. Congress, it will bu remembered, at its late sosstou appropriated $50,000 to be used in making an exhibition of the fish products of this oountry at the exhibition iu London in May of next year.

This work will ba tho most important one that the United Statss haa undertaken lu that line. She made a fine display at tha Centennial of the flshet of hsr ooasts and lakoa and streams, and at the Berlin Fish Exhibition, tho finest exhibition of the kind the world has ever had, onr exhibit carried off the highest prise, a $5,000 vase, whioh Professor Balrd now exhibits at the Smithsonian with great pride. The professor estimates the future of our fisheries to be something enormous. It having beoome evident of late that with the rapid growth of our population It would soon beoome neoessary to look to the food producing capacity of our waters to supply some of that animal food whiek the Western prairies once furnished, tlilBeobJeot haa of late been oarefully studied and quantity and quality have both been greatly improved. Tho nsh productions of the United States last year, it Is estimated, brought to the original "producers" $45,000,000, aud to the wholesalers double that, or $00,000,000.

Professor Balrd estimates that the fish produotlons of the country may be made worth ton times what they now are, or $900,000,000 per annum. The exports of fish in the year 1880 were nearly $6,000, 000, much of which went to the Russian and German armies In tbe way of "boneless cod," which has been made a part of the army rations. THE CTJBBENOY. The doolslon of the Treasury Department that the usual process of redemption for bank notes must be gone through with Ly the banks which return their did currenoy on taking out new eharters la oauslng a good deal of demand for greenbacks and gold and sliver certificates. These are to be deposited in the Treasury while the new notes are being issued.

The result is that there is groat demand for them here and elsowhere, and It looks as though greenbacks would ba at a premium for a time. Thi3 question of iBBUing new money to reohartered banks was pretty rigorously disoussed iu Congress, when the bill was under discussion, several taking sides against it, but it finally passed.

The Current of Sentiment Around ITew York this Mornfnjr Jay Gould and Russell Sage Decline to Express Their Opinion of Mr. Cornell's Answer or Have Anything to Say with Reference to It Probable Fataro Action.

The long expected reply of Governor Oor nell to tho charges preferred against him by Mr. Jay Gould and others, concerning his speculations In Wall street and alleged "blind pool" transactions, was published, this morning, and read with eagernees and curl oslty by all who take an. Interest in the matter, and who bad begun to tear that the Governor did not Intend to make answer to the serious accusations bearing on hia character. The reply was lengthy, covering all the ground gone over by those who have had anything to say against the Executive, and eventually coming down to the point as to whether Mr. Cornell hlmBelf or those who have been fighting him are best to be believed.

The charges of Mr. Tlllotson, to the effeot that Mr. Cornell uBed the funds of tha American Dislrlot Telograph Company with which to speonlata in atooko, are denounced aa alee, while aa to the "blind pool, the mysterious operations of whleh were so Ingeniously described by Mr. Jay Gould, Mr. Cornell say that "not a dollar was paid nor a share of atook purchased, as Mr.

Gould wall knows." Mr. Cornell is equally omphatio In his denial as to the deoeitful operations in which he is alleged to hava indulged io far a8 District Telegraph stock is concerned, and denies thai he adYlssd the of Jgh. stock when himself was Belling. The reply ortated somewhat oi a stir, also on Wall atrsot and in nnanolal olroleB, and it was generally aoneeded that, bo far aa tho controversy Involved a question of veracity between the Governor and Mr. Jay Gould, the latter would have to go to the wall.

With a view of fleeing what Mr Gould, Bussell Sage and Sidney Dillon (who wero the three 8enmP most oonspicuous in tho ohargea againBt the Governor) had to say, a reporter ot tho ExOls went to New York this morning. AN INTERVIEW WITH MB. GOULD. He first sought Mr. Gould, who dashed up to the Westarji Union Telegraph Building on Broadway an open brougham drawn by a spanking team of ohest Duta Mr.

Gould asconded to the company's building on the third floor, was oloseted for half an hour with the corporation's attorney and then drove down to his stock offloo at Nos. 69 and 71 Broadway. It was here that the Eaolk reporter saw him. "Have you Been tho reply of Governor Cornel! to the charges which were preferred against him, aa published this morning asked the reporter. "I have," said Mr.

Gould. "What do you think of It?" I havo no opinion on that point to express," "He says that you and others marked him for destruction simply beoauBe ho dared to do what was right." "I know it" "Do you ohoosa to permit that statement to pass unnoticed 1" "I am too busy to have anything to say to you." "Have you anything to say in reply to or's explanation of tha alleged 'Blind Pool' transactions 'I bays nothing to Bay." "Mr. Cornell eaya that the subscription was never completed owing to the failure of negotiations Iookiug toward consolidation, and that not a dollar of money was paid nor a share of atook purohaBod as you yourself well know." "Mr. Cornell haa a perfect right to say what ho likes." 'Then you are perfectly willing to pormit your atatements to be pronounced untrue by tho Govornor of thiB State, and yet have nothing to say in reply Mr. Gould did not answer this question.

He rang the bell for his flunkey, and the reporter graoef ully retired. MR. BUSSELL SAGE. The office of Mr. Russell Sage adjoins that or Mr.

Gould, in the same building. When the reporter dropped in Mr. Sago was in au inner sanctum, the door of which was vigilantly guarded by a muscular gentleman of oolor. The reporter asked Mr. Sage If he had seen the Governor's reply as printed this morning? "I have," said Mr.

Sage. "What do you think of it and what, if anything, have you got to say in answer to it "I will answer that question it I am satisfied with your reply to a question I will put to you." "And that is "Why do you come to me for explanations instead of going to the proper parties direct "Because you are, or were, associated with Mr. Gould, in Elevated Railroad matters, and because your name figured prominently in the stories detrimental to the Governor's oharaoter, whloh were circulated with so much freedom." "Well, you have come to tho wrong man. I have nothing at all to Bay In regard to tho matter. That Is final," and so saying, Mr.

Sage brought tho conversation to a olose. Mr. Sidnoy Dillon was not In town. THK GOSSIP ABOUT TOWN seemed to Indicate a Bentlment to the effect that the Governor had boen Bomewhat injured by not making his reply before, and that although the reply whloh he had made would operate largely in hie benefit, it would be difficult to stem the tide of publlo opinion whloh had already progressed so far. It was said by a few that Cornell was practically out of the race bo far as his aspirations for tho Governorship were concerned, and that the return blow which he had given to Gould and his associates camo too late to be of any material bonollt.

On the other hand there wore those who oontended that Cornell's fight with Gould and men of the latter' stamp of ohanscter would be a source of absoluto benefit to him, In that the publlo Bentlment of the oommunlty would stand by tha Governor as against efforts to "destroy" him for dolDg a good publlo service. "It is vastly advantageous to the Governor," said one of his supporters, "to be engaged in such a conflict. A man eDgaged in a controversy with another honett man may be doubted, because they are on equal terms, but the assumption Is invariably in favor of the man who is at Issue with thoae whose CLAIMS TO CHARACTER stand in need of vindication. That is why Cornell is going to oome out ahoad." In almost jverj quarter opinions differed as to the outcome of the controversy, but the impression, nevertheles, prevailed that, however convincingly the Governor may be able to demonstrate bis entire lnnocenoe, it would be impossible to eradicate many of the impressions which now exist concerning him. "It can never bo auy thlngbut unfortunate for a publlo official, however exalte! his posiftony' gald a well known polltiolan to the reporter "to beoome the central figure In a controversy like the present one.

There are thousands of people who never road the entire literature of any controversy, and It is safo to say that those who form a judgment upon a partial statement of aot will reaoh oonolusions which are at times disadvantageous to tha man most nearly concerned." THE TAllEflJfAOIE. The Repairs That Havo Bcon Blade and tbe Goneral Konovaiioua. The Tabernacle in Sohermerhorn street was olOBed on the last Sunday in June. It is to be opened on the 3rd day of September, on which date will fall the first Sunday of the month. Since it has beeu closed there have been extensive repairs.

This work was oommitted to the management of the Committee on Ropairs and Supplies, which consisted of Messrs. Alexander MoLean, Nelson Hamlin, John Wood and William Hall.

Ths floor of the auditorium haB been newly carpeted. Ths aisles havo been laid with body Brussels, while all the roet of tho ohurch and the Interior of the pews have been furnished with black and red It is to be hoped that this pattern will not remind tbe worshipers of rougt et noir.

A new system of electrlo lights have been Introduced, and new batteries have been put in. The sexton, Mr. Brown, has charge of these. All the gas burners hava been replaced. On the roof new slates have been adjusted, the gutters have been repainted and now tin has been used.

Dnijan The Circumstances Attending the Case Stated. Lust Tuesday morning, the body of a well dressed man, apparently about 80 years of age, was found in the Harlem Biver at the foot of One Hundred and Fourth street.

The only Indication of violence on the body was an abrasion on tbe forehead, whloh might have been oaused by a blow of eome instrument or by striking agalust something in the water. The body was taken to the Morgue, when it was idontlfied on tho following day aa that of William A. Dugan, of No. 332 Qulncy street, In this city. He bad been missing since the 18th and bis father, Wm.

B. Dugan, of No. 244 Stookton street, had made a long and anxious but fruitless searoh to discover his whereabouts. Mr. Dugan, who rocognized the body as that of hit son, is Inclined to believe that he was robbed aad murdered and then thrown into the water, aud the circumstances attending the case are, to say the least, of A SUSPICIOUS CHARACTER.

Deceased was a commercial traveler In the employ ot Poillon Staples, dealers In varnishes, at No. 108 East 148th street. On Friday morning he left his home In thla olty to visit his employer's establishment. From that moment all trace of him la lust until the finding ot the body. When ho left his home he had a gold wateh, breastpin and gold studs, and had, it la believed, over $50 In his pockets.

The breastpin and stud were still in his shirt when the body was ploked up, but tho watch and money were gone. The clothing of tha dead man was (searched and only twenty five cents in email change was found in his pockets. Coroner King took charge of the oase, and pending the inquest a careful investigation will be mado by tho police. Deceased was a young man of most steady habits, and leaves a wife and three ohildren. His accounts with tbe firm by whom bo was employod were all right, and as there is no assignable reason why he should commit suicide, his friends havo almost unanimously adopted the theory of foul play, which is much strengthened by tho Buspiclous absenoe of his watch and money.

WITHOUT A HOME. The Sad Story of a Poor Old Woman Before Justice Naeher This Morning. When tho name of Isabella Hayiland was called this morning by Justice Naeher, a poor old woman pame tottering up to the bar of Justice. She was (oantily dressed in the remnant of garments which, in their day, might havo looked quite respectable. Bhe waa evidently very lame, for it was with diffloulty tbat she could hobble along, even with Iho help of a cane whloh she leaned upon.

She had rather a pleasing faoe and did not appear like an old "stager," albeit she has been in court before, Bhe was oharged by Officer O'Brien, of tho Fifth Precinct, with being a vagrant. When the charge was read to her the woman replied "I deny the ohargo your Honor. For the last seven monthB I have been at the Flatbush hospital and last Tuesday thoy kioked me out because tbe place was so orowded." "You lodged at the station house last Wedneaday night?" "Yes, your Honor. I had no other place." "Have you no children 7" "Yes, I have six ohildren, three in California and three in WilUamsburgh, but none of them will give mo a home. They have all forsaksn mo in my old age." "Can you not earn a living "Why Judge, how can I 7 I am old and lame and oannot work, i would not be homeless if my ohildren would support me, but they won't.

What am I to do 7 What can I do 7" Justice Naeher Bent the woman to the Penitentiary for thirty days. He said if she had no home she would be better cared for at Crow Hill than she would be it allowed to wander about tha streets and lodge in the station houses. Summer Nlffht.

The Chlli.Peruvian Boundary Short ProYiUlon Crops la SalTador and Other States River Improvements. Panama, Auguat 17.

A slight electoral row occurred in Colon on the night of the 18th. The Revising Boards had met in this olty and nothing had followed, although trouble was anticipated. In Colon, however, the leaders of tha defeated party, headed by a man named Preston, of political and murderous notoriety, commenced indiscriminate revolver firing In the atreets. The police endeavored to oheck them, but without meeting with the least success. In the serimmage two innooent canoe men were shot.

There were 100 national troops in the city at the time. Tbey bad been taken from here to preserve order in the event of anything aorlous occurring, but they could not turn out untU matters assumed a more alarming stage. Fearing Ihe eouaequencos Preston and his gang took to tho woods, Sand although parties have been sent in search of them, they have remained up to the present entirely unmolested. He is said to have one hundred armed men with him, bo that the probabilities are he will give tha authorities some trouble, and that finally a compromise will be effeoted under whloh he will gain some of the political advantages he seeks. THB OBJEOT OI THS BOW.

The prinoipal object of the movement, owing to tbe presence of the general government troops, is to keep Dr. Nunez from entering Into power as president, to which offloo he was elected months ago. Polltioal jealousies and personal animosities seem about to again cause trouble on the isthmus. For months past a general feeling of disquietude haa been evident in many of the States, End the compromise effeoted the other day in Bogota is already giving evidence that it cannot stand any pressure. Three distinot parties have agreed to be represented in the cabinet, and thus obtaining what they wantod withdrew their opposition to tho presidential aotlon, but no ooalltion has followed and all are on the "stand off" as much as thoy were before this ingenious arrangement was reaohed, in order to enable the executive part of the government to perform the moBt trivial functions, and which It foand Itself incapacitated from doing while the deadlock continued.

CHILI AND PEBU. Late reports from the south oonflrm the statement that a general rising of Peruvians against the Chilians had been plotted. It was to have oocurred July 28. The Chilians got wind of the matter, and soarohad a stBamer on her arrival at Oallao. Full plans are said to have beeu discovered on some of the passengers, and consequeutly the outbreak did not occur.

Some Italians were to have taken part In it. Esmeraldas, Eouador, is reported to have been captured by the robels. The report has its origin in tho faot that the government has deolared the port blockaded, and will allow no communication with it. Tho probabilities are, however, that the measure has simply been taken in order to prevent the disaffected in the port communicating with ths friends who aro In arms on the outskirts. A Chilian eurveying corps is under orders to examine and report upon the natural territorial dlvlBions which appear to be tbe most suitable for Chili to aocept as her northern boundaries aa modified by the war.
