SO are dead and over 400 are seriously 111- Those nearest the reservoir seemed to get the full benefit of the deadly poison and lived only a short time. This is the first Information officially received of the matter, and It was some time before the correct source of the poison was ascertained.

It was about the year 1784 that the first forgeries on a very large scale were discovered by the Bank of Eng land, and these were done by one man. known from his favorite disguise as J "Old Patch." By a large issue of notes spread over a long period he. de frauded the bank of more than 200, 000, and, having only one confidant his mistress, great difficulty - was ex perienced In tracing the source of the forgeries. "Old Patch" in his check ered career of lottery office keeper, stockbroker and gambler had given banknotes careful study and acquired a knowledge of engraving, paper mak ing and printing. He made his own Ink, manufactured the paper and print ed the notes on a private press. In va rious disguises he hired' boys from the Btreets to present the notes.
