Correspondence of the New York Times contains
th following:
Of course, among the crowds of Idle ami
curious spectators who were nlKhtly attracted to the
scenes of these .disturbances (In Paris) were numbers
of mr countrynM-n. Several of them paid the pen
alty of their indiscretion by being knocked down and
trampled upon, while others were arrested and con
veyed to prison.
Of these latter the American Minister has been
called upon to Intercede for, and has obtained the
release of, three. Their names are J. If. A. Warren,
of Boston. Gcorne Green, and Morris Drown. I have
seen Mr. Warren since his release, and his experi
ences of magisterial promptness and prison ameni
ties in France are sulllclently Interesting to Justify
rue In relating them, the more especially as they may
s rve to convert those who are sighing to confer
upon the United States the blessings of imperialism.
Experience of Amertenn Citizens.
Mr. Warren states that as he was proceeding
along the Boulevard Montinartre on Thursday even
ing, the 10th, In company with another American,
Mr. Charles R. Goodwin, he saw tho police chasing
the crowd ami they turned Into a side street, the Hue
Richelieu, to gu out of the way. They had not got
far when they heard the beat of a drum. This
was followed by a rush of police agents,
and before they liad time to remonstrate or
to state who they were, they were both
struck several times and Nr. Warren
was knocked down. Mr. Goodwin owed his exemp
tion from further lll-usago and imprisonment to me
fact of his wearing the libbon of tho Legion of
Honor, but Mr. Warren, as he was trying to rise to
his feet, was seined and dragged to the Muiric in the
Koo Drouot. When he arrived there he found the
large court-yard full of prisoners and policemen.
Alter a delay of about half an hour he was taken
to the Inspector's room and seiirched.AU his papers
and money were taken from him. lie had
at the time two hundred franca In paper and
boutone hundred and eighty francs In gold. After
is name, address, and sigiuue-mnit had been taken
down, his papers, and, as he supposed his money,
were replaced In his pockets, but he discovered sub
sequently that his funds had not been restored. A
further examination was made of his person for
weapons, after which ho was transferred to another
room, which was crowded with prisoners of almost
every station in life. After remaining there half an
hour the prisoners were formed into a body num
bering about seven hundred, and marched,
guarded by soldiers and policemen, to
the mneiernrrie at the other side of the river. This
was abont 1 o'clock at night. During the march the
utmost brutality was exercised towards tho pri
soners, and they were driven and pushed along like
a herd of cattle. Mr. Warren was so badly bruised
and hurt that he had to be supported by two of tit
prisoners. His shirt and clothes were covered with
blood from the eifeet of blows which had been
wantonly indicted upon him in the yard
of the Mairie by one of the sergents de
ville. After they reached the eoneierttcrir
about 8 o'clock In the morning, he fainted
away, and was conveyed for the night to a separate
cell, where be was attended by the surgeon of the
prison, who administered chloroform and stimulants
to him. He remained in tho conciergerie with tho
other prisoners until 7 o'clock on Friday evening,
and they had nothing during all this time but a little
soup of the weakest kind and some hard bread. As
evening approached they were Informed that they
were about to be transferred to the fort at Bicetre,
on learning which Mr. Warren managed
to get a scrap of paper and wrote a letter to Dr.
Johnston, oi the Boulevard Ilaussmann, Informing
him of his position. The doctor immediately for
warded it ts Mr. Washburne, and at 12-30 the same
night Mr. Moore, Assistant Secretary to the Lega
tion, went to the Prefecture and demanded his re
lease. He was told that it was then too late to do
anything In .he matter, but that It would be attended
to 'early in the morning. , . . .
Shortly alter he had despatched this note to Dr.
Johnson, Mr. Warren, with the other prisoners, were
transferred in the close prison carriages to the fort
at Bicetre. They were kept standing in one of the
casemates there, suffering from tho heat and thirst
consequent upon overcrowding until nearly mid
night. The roll was then called, and the prisoners
were marched, eight at a time, accompanied by a
tile of soldiers, to the Inspector's room, in another
building, where their names, addresses, and per
sonal descriptions were entered In a
book. This done, they wtre conveyed to a second
casemate, and In proceeding to it each prisoner
stopped by order and picked up a bundle of straw,
which, with a blanket, was to constitute his bed.
There they were left In quietness for the rest of the
night, but without food or drink. Tho heat and odor
of the place were Insufferable and were aggravated
by the fact that all the necessities of nature had to
be provided lor iu that crowded apartment. To men
accustomed to every luxury, as many of thoso con
fined there were, the sufferings endured during this
memorable night must have been a terrible ordeal,
It is stated three of the prisoners died at the con'
eiergerie, while at Bicetre a fourth lost his senses and
committed suicide.
On Saturday noon an order reached the fort direct
ing the release of Mr. Warren, lie was summoned
to the directors' room, and tho formality of entering
In a book his name, personal description, a ud address
in Paris having been again gone through, he was told
that he would be released the same evening. He was
then taken back to the casemate, where he received
a littie food, and about 6 o'clock he was re
leased and escorted to the railway by a corporal.
Fortunately a little silver surncleiit to pay his fare,
which he had in one of his pockets, had escaped or
had not tempted the cupidity or Ills captors, and he
got back to Paris rejoiced that his adventure had
had so speedy a termination. Klnce his return he
has been taking steps to recover tho money of which
he was deprived by the police, but J am afraid with
out much chance of success.
Napoleon Writes.
The I'euple of June 16 publishes the following let
ter addressed by the Kmperor to M. Mackau, mem
ber of the legislative body :
"I have received the letter In which, In tho name
of your constituents, you express a desire that my
Government may be strong enough to resist the ag-
frressive attacks of some parties, and o give to
iberty durable securities by causing it to rest on
power lirmly and vigilantly exercised. You add,
with reason, that the concession of a principle or the
sacrifice of Individuals Is alwavs ineffectual in the
face of popular movements, and that a government
which respects Itself ought to yield neither to pres
sure, to excitement, nor to revolt. This opinion is
mine, and I am happy to Und that it is shared in by
your constituents, as it is, 1 am sure, by the ma
jority of the ChamW and of the country.

As AIho Does Victor Hugo.
The following letter from Victor Hugo to Alphonse

The Paris correspondent of the Pall Mall Oatrtte
writes, on June 16. That the state of Paris Is suffi
ciently alarming yon may gather from the fact that
the arbitrary manner In which the Government has
been treating journalists has Induced M. Kralle de
Glrardin, who is head of the syndicate of the fourth
estate, to call a meeting of that body to-morrow to
consider the situation. In some quarters a emtp
d'etat Is expected, and M. Thiers, apprehensive that
such a measure is In contemplation, has advised at
least one friend to get beyond the reach of danger.
GENERALITIES.
t'hnne and Reconstruction.
From the Richmond, IHpateh, June K3.
The Norfolk Virginian is entirely mistaken in Its
supposition that thief Justice Chase (-aid or did any
thing In the Civsar Griffin case which would indicate
that he considers the Reconstruction acts unconsti
tutional, or that there has ever been any legal State
Government In Virginia since Decern tier, lstta. For
obvious reasons we do not wish to discuss the point,
however. We trust that no one will entertain even
the faintest hope of Justice at the bauds of the
Supreme Court of the I'tiltcd States; for, whatever
may be Mr. Chase's opinion, he has never made it
known, and. if he should declare it, it would not
control the Court.
A Hubmnrine Hteanmliip.
Accounts of a new plan for building war vessels
are given In the German papers. Otto Vogel pro
poses to construct a submarine steamship, and the
Berlin Ilorsenzeitung asserts that the Prussian admi
ralty bus approved of the plans submitted for Inspec
tion. The vessel, covered with strong plating, Is
entirely below the surface of the sea, with the ex
ception of the deck, which Is surmonuted by a
vaulted Iron roof of Immense strength. Beneath
this covering heavy guns are placed, so that the
whole greatly resembles a tlrst-rate Iron-clad. It is
said, however, that besides all the advantages of
such men-of-war, the new ship may be entirely sub
merged, and in this position is so completely under
command that it can outweather a storm or attack
an enemy with submarine cannon and torpedoes.
Mr. Vogel is now engaged In constructing a large
model, twenty-four leet in length, which will soon
be finished.
A Fortunate Discovery.
Early on Saturday morning an affair occurred at
Bast Newark which narrowly escaped a very traglo
result. A Mr. Hewer was roused from his sleep by
some member of the family who informed him that
thieves were prowling about the house. Hastily
dressing himself, he seized a gun ami sallied lortli,
visiting the ham. On his way back he saw some one
dart across the path. He raised his gun to lire, and
was about to pull the trigger when he heard his
mother's voice calling him to nop, as it was she
whom he had mistaken for a thief. A'ewark, V. J.,

Singular ."Uniiiu.
There Is a young lady residing in New Orleans,
who, for some years, has been afflicted with tempo
rary mental aberration. Of late, however, it has
assumed a permanent form, and she imagines her
self a great statesman. It is Impossible to keep
clothing suitable to her sex upon her, and she raves
unless permitted to wear coat aud pants like gen
tlemen. Her eccentricities sometimes assume an
appearance of intense ludlcrousuess. At one
time she is a lawyer arguing a case ; at another, a
judge trying a case; and then again, an orator deliv
ering excitable philippics to a senate. Her parents
watch her very' closely and never permit her to es
cape the observation of one of them. But notwith
standing this close and almost Incessant surveillance,
she manages to escape to the front gallery or door
sometimes, and a few evenings ago her appearance
soon assembled around her a gang of boys and girls,
whom she was addressing in veritable Anna Dickin
son style.
A Bhr Bill.
A London correspondent writes:
You no doubt remember the result of the Abys
sinian war, of which we were so proud a year or two
ago. And there is no doubt that, so far as the troops
are concerned, the expedition was a most creditable
one to our arms in every way. Not so, however,
the financial arrangements connected with the war.
We paid our first little bill, amounting to some
$60,000,000, without much grumbling; but now we
nnu mere is a supplementary 0111 v imj ptm amount
ing to from 110,000,000 to (10,000,000; and, as usual,
now that the horse is stolen we are beginning to
lock the stable door. An inquiry is now ordered into
how this enormous expenditure was incurred ; but I
doubt very much whether any good will result from
the inquiry.
This payment, by no means a pleasant process at
any time, has now to be met or rather it has been
met and is now being discussed. It is the old story
of the Crimean war over again, and the forerunner
of what we might expect it ever we go to war on a
larger scale. Let it be remembered that the actual
force that marched up to Magdala was not only nu
merically very small, but mat, as a rencn stair
officer who accompanied the force described it, the
men were undergoing very great privations nearly
the whole of the time, and that throughout the cam
paign there was nothing in the way of luxury and
hardlv anything iu the way of comfort to be found in
the camp, and yet we have to pay this enormous sum
for punishing King m neouore oi Aoyssima.
Exciting Hcene.
From tie A Ipinc (CaL) Chronicle, June 12.
Some excitement was created In the County Court
on Mcnduv last during the sentence of Lawler. Tim
prisoner having no counsel, the Court appointed 8.
w. Griffith, of Darkelsville. to act in that capacity.
Griffith wanted one week's time in which to plead,
but the Court refused to grant more than one day.
Griffith and the prisonertheu retired to an aute-room
for consultation. In due time they returned into
court, when Griffith stated that Lawler had declared
his innocence oi any intention to commit a larceny,
but owing to circumstances in the case he had con
cluded to nlead iruiltv. trusting to the mercy of the
court. Judge Kuo, alter the prisoner had addressed
the court In a penitent manner, questtouea mm re
garding his past life, and gave him some good
advice, remarking that he would be lenient witli him,
although his conduct in jail did not warrant It. Ho
was then sentenced to three years Imprisonment at
hard labor In the State prison, 'ine sentence nan
hardlv cscaned Judse Eao'a lips when Lawler "spoke
out In meeting" thus:" your old heart, you
ought to sit there until I come out!" The Judge
leaned rorward and assea ine tiers h ne nau ior
mally entered the Judgment. Being Informed that
he had not, Judge Kuo said : "Lawler, your cot-duct
shows you to be possessed of a depraved heart, and
unworthy of sympathy, aud I will add four years to
your sentence, and now sentence you to seven years
Imprisonment at hard labor in the Penitentiary."
The prisoner was furious at this stage of the game,
and again belched forth" you, you had
better be dead when I come out again!" The Sheriff
was ordered to remand him. As he passed through
the room he cursed the Judge, Sheriff' McBeth, and
everybody else, saying he was young, and would get
even with them. During the scene alwve mentioned
the spectators were much excited, aud would have
been glad if Lawler had got fourteen years instead
of seven.
CASS.
hut the Republicans Have to l'luht AmtliiHi.
The Harrisburg Telegraph of yesterday published
the following:
The official connection of this gentleman with the
Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad having
ceased in consequence of the recent transfer of that
road to the Pennsylvania Central, it becomes a ques
tion interesting to the political world, how much his
strength in the Democratic party has been impaired
by that circumstance, If impaired at all. We are
Inclined to believe that his chance for the Democratic
nomination has been lessened by the little business
transacted between the Fort Wayne andPeimsylvaula
Central, that a call for a meeting of the "unin
structed" has a bearing npou that particular ques
tion, aud that by the time the convention is fully or
ganized, if not a day earlier, the western friends of
General Cass will llnd themselves weaker than they
expected, deserted by their eamern allies, and seve
ral "sick men" on liaud from their own region.
11 uncock aud McCandless, we think, are out of the
question, as neither of them Is supposed to have the
command of much money ; and as money Is what the
leaders of the Democracy are most anxious about,
the prospects of Packer are growing brighter for,
however tho fact may be, the Impression Is gene
ral among the greedy Democrats; that Packer
will dispense the needful freely and abundantly, If
nominated. As matters now stand, it looks as
though the Republicans would have to light against
coal mines aud bank and railroad stock this time.
Well, it's none of our business, and In truth we feel
little interest in the matter; but as we are sure to
elect the Republican caudldate In any event, we
want to see the contest made interesting, aud there
fore should like to meet an opponent who had some
vim in him, aud as much money to spend as his most
hungry backers desire so that when they are
whipped again, as they will be, they oan't say It was
t cause tuey had Ue wrwig inau aud ua Money.
THE GREAT ROBBERY.
Additional Particular of the Ocean National
Jlunk JturHlary Yesterday.
We print upon one of our Inside pages an inte
resting account, taken from a New Vork paper of
yesterday, of the daring robbery of tho 0:;ean
National Bank. From the New York journals of this
morning we glean these additional paiticulars:
What the Hank Officials Hay.
This is what the officials told the reporters:
1 he basement under the bank is occupied by Mr.
William Okell, a broker, who some two weeks ago
rented office room in the rear of his office to a party
who gave the name or Charles K. Colo. This por
tion of the basement Is Immediately under the presi
dent's room of the bank, and through the celling of
this an opening was made large enough to admit
the passage oi a man, coming out Just behind the
desk usually occupied by the President On Satur
day night the hank was closed as usual by the porter,
a colored man, who sleeps in the upper part or
the building, aud who visited it about one o'clock
on Sunday, when no signs of the burglary were
noticed. Between 1 o'clock on Sunday and yester
day morning the vault was entered. This vault is
defended by an outer door fastened by a combina
tion lock, which was unlocked or picked. It bearing
no marks of Injury. The keys to the second door
tiling just Inside the first door, and the thieves
made use of them. The third door was pried open
by means of a powerful screw, the force exerted
being sufficient to deprexs the floor under the door
perceptibly. In the inner compartment thus
reached were two safes, both of which were
forced open and their contents overhauled. One
safe contained the boxes belonging to special depo
sitors, all of which were opened and "gone through"
In the most thorough manner. The amount obtained
from this source is not known, but was very large,
and will very likely reach nearly f.r00,0fM). One man
states that his box contained coupon bonds, etc, to
the amount of JfiO.ooo, all of which was taken. No
Cortion of this loss, the officers say, falls on the
ank, they not being responsible for special depo
sits. Only ubout fuo,ono, mostly In currency and
legal tenders belonging to the bank, together with
about 10,000 in checks, payable to order, which
cannot be used, were taken. The thieves
overlooked between 2oo,ooo and t:oo,oo:)
in Clearing House currency and other
certificates, about (100,000 in gold certili
cates and other securities, which they were ap
parently afraid could not be negotiated. There was
In the vault some (30,000 In coin gold, one bag of
which was taken out sf tho safe, but left behind,
evidently on account of Us weight. Mr. Okell had a
box In the safe with the other special deposlts,which
was opened and ransacked, bnt only a small amount
token from It. The officers, however, admitted, at a
later hour In the day, that they were unable to state
what sum was secured by the burglars. The counsel
thinks it is in the neighborhood of (300,000; others
say over a million dollars In convertible and uncon
vertible securities and currency was taken. At four
o'clock the bank was still open; reporters were re
fused admission, with the remark that "nothing new
has been ascertained."
. How the ThinK Watt Done.
The theories of tho detectives are all at variance
and as diversilled as the hundreds of non-professionals,
who yesterday made minute examination of
the entire territory covered by the thieves in their
liold night's work. Some assert that the time con
sumed in effecting an entrance covered two or three
weeks: others assert that it was accomplished In
less than twenty-four hours, while a few hold to the
theory that actual operations were commenced
alter 1 o'clock on Sunday, when the janitor last
made an examination of the bank. The
detectives are equally at variance as to
the manner iu which the robbery was executed.
The majority of them say that it was done
from tielow,' and there Is no evidence to show
that any parties operated from above, while others,
fully conversant with the Jobs of burglurs, emphatl
call assert that there are certain marks that posi
tively indicate that the entrance was effected from
both sides of the floor. Discarding all theories and
speculations. It is safe to say that there are certain
circumstances to sustain the hypothesis that the
robbery was planned aud executed with the know
ledge or connivance of some person or persons fully
conversant with the habits of the employes of the
institution, and with a full knowledge of the location
of the vaults and safes, the mysterious combina
tions of the locks, and the contents of tho vaults and
safes. This theory Is continued by the following
circumstances :
IFirst. The outer door of the vaults shows no evi
dence of having been operated upon by the usual In
struments employed by burglars, while a close ex
amination developed the fact that It was opened by
a person familiar with the combination (Curvet s
patent) and the habits of the bank officials.
Second. The Becond door of the vaults bears no
evidence of violence. The employes of the bank
assert that the kevs of this door were left and found
hanging on a nail lnsido of the outer door, and that
the second door was opened with these keys. They
do not stute whether it is their habit to leave the
keys so exposed, but they may have been placd
there by design by some persen having access to
them.
Third. A minute examination of the hole cut
through the floor shows that the greater portion of
the work was executed from below. The splinters
in the flooring are on the upper side, and below these
is a clean cot. To effect an eutrauce to the bank,
however, It was necessary to remove a beam about
four Inches thick by fourteen inches in width. This
beam stood on its width, and the burglars were
forced to bore through its entire breadth to strike
the floor above. In it ate numerous auger marks,
made from below. A close examination shows that
after several of these holes had been made about
two-thirds of the way through, nails were struck.
The beam further shows that holes were bored from
above to meet the holes bored Jrom below thus
maV lng a connection In the middle were the nails
are located.
Fourth. Immediately over the aperture In the
floor is a Brussels carpet closely attached to the
floor. This carpet had been cut on two sides of a
square, immediately over and on a line with the
marks of the auger. A minute survey of the carpet
shows no indentations by the auger, which would be
visible were the work accomplished entirely from
below.
These are briefly the reasons why experts Insist
that the burglary was accomplished cither by the
connivance of one or more of the bank officials or
clerks, or by a confederate of the burglars, who had
got possession of the key to the combination lock
and secreted himself in the bank when it was closed
on Saturday.
The Tools Used
were of the most approved pattern, and would glad
den the eyes of less experienced burglars. About
noon they were taken to the Central Police Office
and deposited in the room of Chief Kelso, who on
hearing of the robbery detailed two of Ills sharpest
detectives, Elder and Vaughn, to visit the bank and
make an examination. Late in the afternoon, so
soon as he could be spared, lie followed them aud
made a personal examination of the scene of the
robbery. The detectives of the Central office have
not divulged their individual theories, but
one or two who made a close examination
of the flooring, beam, and InHtramenta found
there, are emphatic in their declarations that the
aperture was made from above as well as from
below. The tools which the "machinists" left behind
after securing their golden spoils, aud which are
now on exhibition In Mr. Kelso's room. Include an
immense jackscrew, valued at fully (200; a smaller
jackscrew, ten bswb, a number of wedges, several
copper sledges, to deaden the sound ; a variety of
drills, durk lanterns, fuse, glazed covers, to hang
over windows and exclude the light; two improved
pulleys, numerous wrenches, four jimmies, made
to unscrew in the middle; augers and bits, of
improved patterns; several blouses aud overalls,
such as are used by mechanics, and which were
saturated with sweat from the bodies of the opera
tors, three pairs of rubber overshoes, to enable them
to move about noiselessly, a rope to tie the porter If
necessary, and handcuffs to secure him or other
officials who might disturb their operations. The
entire kit comprises fully 40 pieces, which, experts
say, is one of tho Ilnest collections they have ever
seen, and must have cost In manufacture fully fiooo.
INSURANCE.
Operations of New Vork Companies In 1N6.N.
The report of the New York Slate Insurance De
partment for 1H08 states that there are In New York
104 joint stock lire insurance companies, with an
aggregate capital of (30,042,143 aud net assets of
47,4Mi,270, nine mutual companies, with an aggre
gate capital of ('2,404,2(4. The foielgn companies
doing business In the State have an aggregate capi
tal of ('i8.000.0o0. The mutual Are Insurance com pil
ules, once very popular In the centre of New York,
It Is reported are rapidly disappearing, two having
commenced winding up in lsos, leaving only nine
now in operation. No new fire insurance companies
were established in 1m8 a fact iu striking contrast
with the statistics of 1HT.S, when twenty-three new
companies were organised. From this circumstance
it is argued that the prollts of the business have
greatly diminished.

Special Dtpatch to The Evrning Telegraph.
Washington, June 29 Despatches received
at the Navy Department from Kear-Admlral
Rowan, commanding the Asiatic Squadron, state
that there is a prospect of tho renewal of civil
war Jn Japan. The season for military and naval
operations having arrived, the Mikado's Govern
ment liad determined to dislodge Enomato from
his defenses in the vicinity of Ilakodadi. A squad
ron of ships, Including the Stonewall, '.was
equipped for sea in Ycddo bay.
During the inspection the flag-ship blew np
with much loss of life. There is a rumor of tho
Stonewall's machiucry being out of order, and
of her having sustained Injury from grounding.
Enomato is said to hold a strong position to
the northeast of Hakodadl, with troops in good
discipline, well fed, armed, and equipped, and
under the drilling of French officers which they
had received during the winter. It was thought
the Government would have some trouble in dis
lodging him.
One of Enomato'8 vessels, the Ashuclot, had
entered the harbors ot Ycddo and Yokohama,
took a survey of the vessels and naval prepara
tions of the Mikado, and retired without mo
lestation from the fleet or forts. Admiral
Rowan expresses his opinion that all that is
wanted to make the Government of Japan
strong is "peace" and loyalty among tho
princes.

Special Despatch to The Keening Telegraph.
Lancaster, Pa., Juno 29. About 9 o'clock
this morning a terrible accident occurred at tho
iron works of B. B. Thomas & Co. It appears
that while some workmen were engaged in re
moving the lining from a furnace a portion of
the structure fell, carrying with it the scaffold
ing upon which the men were standing.
One, a German, named John Schlcrith, was
instantly killed, und two others, whoso names
have not been ascertained, were injured in such
a manner as to render their recovery very
doubtful. It is rumored that Schlcrith fell into
the furnace and was Instantly burned up. This
cannot be authenticated at present, as the full
j-erticulars are not yet known.

EXPERIENCES OF WOUES.
A Harrowing Scene IHn. Crane Pleads for
erger's 1.1 1 e.
From, the Satchcz (Miss.) Democrat, June 21.
Through the kindness of a friend we are permitted
to make the followlug extracts from a lady's private
letter to a lady in this city. It shows such true no
bility of heart In the widow of the late Colonel Crane
as cannot but add, If anything can be added, to tho
profound sympathy felt for the bereaved lady by tho
people of Mississippi. We quote :
when Kov. Dr. Crane got to Brown's
store he found Cionel. Crane lvlng with his feet on'
the pavement, and his head and body In the store,
Just weltering In his blood, and dead. On the floor,
clinging to the dead body of her husband, and cov
ered with his blood, was his wife, calling htm by
every endearing name, Imploring him t speak once
more, she was surrounded by men and negroes;
no female near her. While Kev. Dr. Crane knelt
by her, trying to do what he could, the negro
preacher, Lynch, stooped over aud said to hur,
'You shall be revenged.' Dr. Crane told him
there was no place for such language ; If he could
say nothing to soothe her he must remain quiet.
Finally, Mrs. Crane was induced to enter a carriage,
where they were Joined by Mrs. Judge Jeffords and
Mrs. Major Kagan, and all went to Dr. Crane's resi
dence. Here the awful trial commenced for the
scene was truly heartrending. Mrs. Crane was
seated in a chair covered with her husband's blood.
Slie looked up at ine aud smiled, but oh ! such a
f mile, .she threw her arms around me, and asked
me if I knew Joseph had been murdered, calling him
by every tender name. I ulmost shrieked with
agony. I got water aud washed tho blood
trom her hands. 1 never witnessed such agony. Tho
ladies wept. The tears streamed down the cheeks
of the otticers. Mrs. Crane begged to go home at
once to her parents to her two sons to the homo
where she had gone when first married, where her
husband had made her life one scene of happiness,
tc. bhesang; she raved; but suddenly she turned
and said : Judge Jeffords aud Dr. Crane", I call upon
you to hear my words. Judge Jeffords, by all
the love you bore my husband, and I know he
was your dearest friend your partner in law for
seven long years by all tho love you bore him, I
befeech you to use all the iniluence you have to
save the man who murdered him. Joseph is in the
hands of his Uod; let that Ood be his avenger.
'VeDgeance is mine, salth ths Lord.' Let not Mr.
Verner fall Into the hand of tnau : lot no more blood
be split; let my husband's blood be offered for peace;
let It cry to heaven for peace for his country; let it
be the martv s blood crvluir for neuce.
"Turning to Dr. Crane, she said, 'Dr. Crane, preach
this to all. I would go and see Mrs. Yerger If I
could, and tell her I have no feeling of revenge.'
"She then threw herself Into the arms of Dr. Crane
and screamed, looking perfectly demented."
The remainder of the letter is a narrative of In-'
tense grief, from the privacy of which It would not
be proper to remove the veil.

ment is not a favorable one, except inasmuch as it is
the result of the course of trade, which at present is
Eastward. Js'o real stringency is anticipated in our
market, the ilrst of July being the period when un
usually large amounts of gold aud currency are
thrown upon the market both by the Government
and numerous corporations. About f3l,0oo,ooo in

Treasury, a considerable portion In onr city, and divi
dends to the amount of sbme (20,000,000 will be also
disbursed In this city. New York, and Boston in the
shape of dividends. These movements cannot fail
to give ease to the market and relax the rates for
loans and discounts.
The market to-day Is both active and firm, without
any change from yesterday's quotations.
Gold is quiet, aud prices aro comparatively free
from fluctuations. The premium at 11-30 A. M. was

The If ew York Money Market.
From the Herald.
"The money market to-day underwent a very
sudden and an extraordinary change, which had tho
cirectof seriously alarming the boldest of operators
on the Stock Exchange. During the forenoon and
during the portion of the afternoon up to half-past
two o'clock, the rate on tall loans ranged evenly at
T percent, currency for the great majority of loans,
the exceptions being at gold Interest for thoHe
accompanied by pledges of Inferior collater, or
where the borrowers were not In prime standing.
At a Quarter to 8 the Henri It v nf mnnnv Koiiio
denly quite noticeable, and the interest rate advanced
through the intermediate fractions of 1-82, l-lfl,
'4, and S, until per cent, was paid, in order to get
money with which to make accounts good at bank.
This Is at the rate of 182, per cent per annum. A
thunder clap In a clear sky could not have been more
astonishing. Indeed, those who were not present la
the excited group gathered on the sidewalk In front
of the Stock Exchange could hardly believe the fact
when told them by others. Tho demand for money
was so great and borrowers so unwilling to pay such
extreme rates that manv bank accounts were not
made up until 4 o'clock, after which hour money was
again being offered at 7 per cent., the decline from
the climax descending through tho scale of figures
in the same order in which the ascent had taken
place. In looking for the reason of such a sudden
spasm, it is evident that the immediate cause of the
stringency was artlilclal. The aspect yesterday
morning was a most cheerful one. The warm sum
mer weather seemed the forerunner of the easy mar
ket so usual at this season. Borrowers gave them
selves little concern as to making their engagements,
especially as on the last days of the previous week
money was In the habit of relaxing to six per cent.
In the vicinity of 8 o'clock. They expected to be
similarly favored by postponing their inquiries to
day, the consequence of which was a very large
accession to the number of borrowers in the interval
just before the close of banking hours. Lenders
found themselves in a powerful minority 4nd put
up their rates accordingly, while, to cap the climax,
a number of prominent clique linns, operating
either in a general 'bear' movement or for a
short turn or scoop,' as the street techni
cally designates it, bid up the figures to the ex
traordinary rate of one-half of one per eent."

enabling the cliques to 'squeeae', them. - The best of

to the Interests of the general mercantile commu

The fact has been made apparent that the money
market was only convalescent, not recovered, after
the illness produced by Mr. Boutwell's contractile
gold sales. The patient has had a relapse

contracted the currency over (100,000,000. What
with the wear and tear or paper, the retirement or
banks, and the positive contraction of Mr. McCulIoeh
and Mr. Boutwell, the currency has been reduced
nearly (200,000,000. If It be said that the stringency
of to-day in our city money market was artificial, the
reply must be that our finances should be so man
