THE STUDENTS REBELLION'.
The Trenble tit Dlrklnnon 'Uor A Profes
sor Explains the lMlllculty.
The Harrlsburg Topic of yesterday publishes
the following article, written, it says, by a pro
fessor in Dickinson College, although it with
holds the name of the gentleman:
I wish to make a candid statement of facts,
in relation to tbe recent trouble in Dickinson
College.
First. As to the declinature of the request of
the classes for leave of absence The college
had had a vacation of six days terminating on
the Monday of tbe previous week, while the
Rummer vacation was only six weeks off, to last
for eleven weeks. The J unior class had lost tho
recitation in Professor Trickett's department on
the previous Tuesday, because a change of an
hour had not been formally announced, though
every member of the class knew of the chance,
bcvcu of thcui having been notified iu person.
The change was from four to five o'clock.
Whether properly or not, the recitation was
lost. 15y a rule ot the faculty of long standing,
no single professor is allowed to exeuse before
hand a cla-s from recitation. The procession of
colored people terminated shortly (after two
o'clock, aud there were no other exercises con
nected with the celebration till o'clock P.
M. The recitations took place at five o'clock.
Again: since attempts have been made to repre
tei.t the relusal to excuse from recitation as a
political matter, I will slate that both the pro
lessors refusing are Republicans and heartily
endorse the fifteenth amendment.
Secondly. As to the penalties assessed. For
some time past several of the students, most of
whom were in the classes concerned, had been
guilty of violations of college orders, many of
them very- immoral. On Sunday before the
celebration, while the people of the town were
in their places of worship, the college bell was
rung two several times, aud an alarm of lire
excited in different quarters of the town. The
absence of the classes was in defiance of the
declinature of the professors to excuse, and it
was effected through a conspiracy. These are
by the statutes of the college, which the pro
fessors are appointed to keep, not to amend
separate offenses of a high order. If not pre
vented, they would soon disorganize the college.
All the above circumstances entered into the
juestion of imposing punishment. This pun
ishment was by minus marks, which were not
to affect the continuance of any student in his
class. They operated solely to alter the relative
positions of probablj not more than one-fourth
tne number ot students. One who would have
stood 3 might now stand 4; 7 might now be 8,
etc. Since all received at least one hundred,
the relative positions could be affected only by
the excess of the marks received one hundred.
The object of minus marks as a penalty is to
affect relative standing, and in cases of combina
tion must be distributed unequally. This un
equal punishment is in accordance with the
statute of the institution and the usages of civil
society.
Thirdly. As to the insubordination of the
Btudents. A committee from each class pre
fecutcd a request for a diminution of the minus
marks. Alter a due consideration, those who
had received five hundred were relieved of two
hundred. The others were not affected. Cer
tain individual students desired to show that
their absence was not on condition of the ab
sence of others. While the order of tho faculty
was pending in their cases, the students scut in
an announcement that they would attend no
more duties till the college faculty came to
terms with them. They remained in that state
of resistance, refusing three several times to
meet the faculty, when the faculty proceeded
to announce to them personally that unless
they attended recitations during Monday they
would be suspended uutil September. On
Monday night the Executive Committee
of the Board of Trustees met them,
and presented to the faculty a paper which the
Btudents were to accept. This paper the stu
dents contemptuonslv spurned by an almost
unanimous vote. The penalty announced by
the faculty has gone into operation, and the
revolting students are now gone from Carlisle.
Students attending college are under the super
vision of tbe faculty, and it would be Improper
for a body of thirty-five students to linger in a
small town at the hotels, when their parents
and guardians have no expectation of such a
thing. It is customary in all colleges to require
students disciplined as these have been to go at
once to their homes. It is unnecessary to add
that in cases where it was impossible for the
students to leave town in the prescribed time,
they were allowed to remain longer.
The professors have been insisting on scholar
ship as a condition of remaining in their classes,
Jt is not uncommon for btudents to hate a pro
fessor who will not allow them to follow their
4wn inclinations.
AX ESCAFEI) MURDERER.
Jtrmnrkable tileryThe Murderer ildbc
roefth Kaid to be Yachting I'd and Dona
4'hekMpeHke nod Delaware Hay:
Jt has been generally believed in Delaware
that Goldsborough, the escaped murderer, had
gone to South America. Commenting on this
helier, the Minora Mutual lYiendol Saturday
expresses doubts of its correctness, and says a
gentleman from Frederica, of undoubted vera
city, tells it that he visited the hotel at Bowers'
Beach, at about dusk on Thursday, April as.
After having his horse put away the gentleman
went to the beach, and found there a friend and
also an acquaintance named McGinnis, from the
neighborhood of Magnolia. The three returned
to the hotel together, and there found four men
sitting at a table playing cards.
McGinnis stepped "up to the table and shook
hands w ith one of the mcu, addressing him as
Bob. Shortly afterwards the gentleman from
frederica asked McGinnis who the man was he
had addressed as Bob. He answered that U was
Kobert Goldbborough. the murderer of Charles
Marsh, lie was told he must be mistaken, but
insisted that he could not be, as he and Golds
borough were in the army together, aud he
knew him well. The game of cards was not
liniehed, for as soon as Goldsborough saw that
he was rccozuized he left the table ami stepped
to the bar, where he threw down a j note and
told his three companions to get tneir drinks
and the change, aud come on down to the boat,
'ihey followed immediately to the bav shore,
took a boat from which had landed, aud rawed
mt to a vessel anchored a short distance out in
the bay. The Mutual Friend continues:
'We also have it from a reliable source, that
this same vessel has been seeu lying at anchor,
for a day or two, a little below the mouth of
Broadkill creek, only a short distance from Mr.
Howard's house, where the young lady resides
who, it is said, was engaged in marriage to
Goldsborough at the time be committed the
murder, and where he first went after his escape
from prison. It is said that Goldsborough has
certainly been seen at Howard's within the last
two weeks. We make the above statements
jutUey were givuu us, aud, alUioagh,
they may seem Incredible, from the respecta
bility of the source from which we obtained
them, we can have no reason to doubt their
truthfulness, and mast accept them as veritable
facts unless convinced to the contrary.''
THE BLACK VEIL
Interesting Orrineny In en T'ranltne Cenvent
Renouncing the Werld.
The solemn ceremony of the last profession
and taking the black veil by two choir novices
was witnessed in the Ursuline Convent in East
Morrisania, New York, on Sunday morning, bv
the relatives and friends of the youthful candf
dates. The names of those who have .thus
separated themselves for life from the outer
world and its pomps and vanities are Miss Har
riet Leonard, now Sister Mary Seraphine Jose-
FLine, of the Five Wounds, and Miss Fanny
lart, now Sister Mary Bapistree Josephine, of
the lioly Family.
The ceremony was begun by the entrance of
the procession at the hour appointed. The
pupils of the school, in dark dresses of brown
or blue, and veiled with white lace, came first;
next the novices, dressed in the black habits of
the order, with white veils over their hoods and
capes, and carrying a crucifix in the right
hand, and a burning taper in the left; then the
professed Sisters ot the community, leading the
young candidates, robed and veiled in black;
and lastly the Mother Superior. The candidates
for profession then seated themselves in front of
the altar.
The waxen candles which they had borne in
their hands were placed on a narrow table in
front of them, covered with crimson velvet.
The candles arranged in triple groups, on the
altar, gleaming against the white and gilded
tracery of the screen and tabernacle, the veiled
figures of a large number of pupils and thirty
or forty black-robed nuns and novices, the
motionless figures of the candidates in the aisles,
and the conventional drees of the congregation,
made a most striking and beautiful tableau.
The procession had scarcely been seated when
the acolytes and clergymen appeared. They
entered in full ecclesiastical dress to the sound
of music from the gallery and the mass began
with the "lent Creator Xpirilut," sung by
female voices.
Immediately after the Mass the novices, after
kneeling in front of the altar in silent prayer,
made the demand to be admitted to the Sister
hood in this form:
The ofliciant, the Rt.Rev.Mclchoir Greenbray,
of Wisconsin, asked:
"What do you ask, my child ?"
To which each in turn replied:
"I demand the mercy of God, the Society of
the religious of St. Ursula, and to take vows of
Poverty, Chastity, and Obedience according
to the rules of St. Augustiue and its constitu
tion." "Have you entire knowledge of what you in
tend to promise ?"
"Yes, Rev. Father; and with the grace of God
I hope to perform it faithfully."
They were then formally received, and a ser
mon was delivered on the perfect liberty of the
religious life and upon the slavery which the
customs of the world entailed.
The sermon having been concluded and bene
diction pronounced, the assemblage retired
while the Te Dcum was sung by the choir.
OBITUARY.
(irnetnl Rlnrqule do la Woestine.
This distinguished soldier died recently iu
Paris at the Hotel des Invalides, of which he
was the Governor. Descended from a promi
nent Flemish family, he was born in 1780, and
upon the occasion of his baptism had for god
father no less a personage than the Duke of Or
leans, afterwards better known as King Louis
Philippe. He was educated by Count de Co
bentzel, his uncle, who in 1801 introduced the
Marquis to Joseph Bonaparte. His admiration
for the French inlluenced him to remain in
France and become a naturalized citizen, and
having attracted the notice of Napoleon, he was
first sent to the Ecole Militaire, and afterwards
commissioned a sous-lieutenant of dragoons.
In the celebrated battles of Friedland and
Jena he behaved with such distinguished gal
lantry as to win promotion. Subsequently lie
was ordered to Spain, serving under Sebastiani
and receiving a dangerous wound at Almonacld.
He remained on the peninsula until his command
was ordered to join the grand army which in
vaded Russia. De la Woestine participated in
the terrible advance and retreat of the French.
At Lcipsic his gallantry was so conspicuous as
to attract the personal notice of the Emperor,
who decorated him with the Cross of the Legion
of Honor and gave him the rank of colonel.
After the abdication he refused to serve the
Bourbons and retired to private life, but upon
Napoleon's return from Elba De la Woestine
promptly joined him, and at the battle of
Waterloo commanded the Sd Regiment of Chas
seurs. The BourbcDS being again restored to
the throne, he went to Belgium, where he lived
several years engaged in the business of a wine
merchant. By the July revolution, however,
he was enabled to return to France and to re
sume his profession as a soldier. Louis Philippe
appointed him Marechal-de-Camp, holding which
rank he commanded a brigade of light cavalry
during the campaign in Belgium iu 1&J2. The
Marquis was made general of division in 1811,
but after tbe revolution of 1848 was retired on
half-pay, the provisional government being
suspicious of his loyalty to the republic.
As soon as Louis Napoleon became President
General de la Woestine was restored to active
service. After the dismissal of General Perrot
in 1852, he was appointed to command the
National Guards iu Paris. It will be remem
bered how effectually the General prevented the
drummers from sounding the alarm on the
famous day of the coup d'etat by previously
Fending all the drums of the National Guards to
Yincenncs to be "repaired." When Louis Na
poleon became Emperor, De la Woestine was
created a Senator of France and in 18t3 was
appointed Governor of the Invalides to succeed
the late Marshal d'Ornano.

The meeting opened with prayer, after which
the Rev. James Thompson, chairman of the
committee, stated that the meeting was called to
take action on a petition now before the Presby

Tbe meeting had been called in hope3 that,
owing to the action ot the Presbvterv, some of
the members who signed the petition might bo
induced to reconsider the matter. A vote would
be taken by ballot: all in favor of Mr. Smythe
would vote aye; coutrary, no. A protest was
here presented, on behalf of the friends of Mr.
Smythe, against the meeting taking any action,
as sufficient notice not having been given to the
congregation the meeting was irregular, under
section 5, page 29, of the Book of Discipline.
The protest was ordered on file.
A vote was then taken, which resulted in Mr.

Olllvlrr'a View of the NlrnatUn-'VBortalliim
nod HlmrrlnlMm" ti. Law and Ordrr.
The Minister of Justice, in his quality of
Deputy for the First Circumscription of the Var,
issued on the 25th of April the following address
to his electors:
Mr Deak Fellow-Citizens It is said to be
well to lop off, from time to time, dead wood
from trees, in order that the living branches
may be developed with greater vigor. The Em
peror Las just also cut away the obsolete por
tions of the constitution in order that the latter
may acquire fresh force and youth. He will
ask you on the 8th May whether he has
done well. I advise yon to reply eagerly
to that appeal, and to arrive at the balloting urn
with a bulletin bearing the woid Yes! Some .
Eersons will try to induce yon to answer No,
ut do not listen to them. You have known me
for a long time past, and many among you re
member my speeches, when, at tho commence
ment of my career, I went through your dis
trict. They will tell you that my voice was
always raised against violence, anger, and
hatred, and that I then opposed revolutionary
doctrines with as much resolution as I do now.
Do you know whence arises that consistency of
my ideas? From the unity of my sentiments.
In politics I have had but one passion
a love for the great and good people
of France; and it is the desire of relieving their
sufferings, of raising their Intellectual, material,
and moral situation which, has made easy to me
a resignation to the daily miseries of public life.
Who are the expiatory victims of revolutions ?
Is it not the people? When order is disturbed
in the streets and business is in suspense, Provi
dence does not cause any revolution in the
elements; the sun continues to ripen the corn
and the vine, and the rich are never in want.
But, on the contrary, what desolation there is in
the dwelling of the poor laborer! For that
reason I have always detested revolutions. Do
not listen to those men who advise you to vote
"No!" Suppose that they have a majority
on the Sth of May in the Var and
throughout France, what would follow ?
They would exercise vengeance, would
imprison and exile, would establish
the social republic, and oppress the rich, as
they promise in your meetings. And what
after? The storm would soon pass away. The
nation, ashamed of its momentary weakness,
would rise up and 6ay: "Enough of anarchy
and disorder I" And, in their turn, those who
had struck would be harshly treated. Suppose,
on the contrary, that our friends triumph; how
different all will be ! A long period of security,
confidence, and rest will be reassured to us.
The Emperor and his Ministers, rid of consti
tutional discussions, interpellations, menaces of
disturbance, and predictions of revolution, will
be able to take in hand, wiih even more solici
tude than in the past, the means of
ameliorating the situation of those
who have nothing, without violating the
rights of those who possess property; aud we
shall not have to fear those times of civil war
when the sons, instead of closing the eyes of their
lathers, nave tneir own closed by them. Go
then, my dear fellow-couutrymcn, to the vote
with unanimity and ardor. At the last legis
lative elections, triumphing over the revolution
by your ffc;9 initiative, you gave to France an
example which has been followed at Lyons, and
which will be imitated everywhere. Recom
mence that course for the plebiscite; unite, or
ganize yourselves, and do not be intimidated by
those who make up for the smallness of their
number by the noise they make.
If their words were honeyed, 1 could under
stand that you might be beguiled. But how
could you do otherwise than resist language so
gross, composed of meanness and insult a
worthy expression of materialist doctrines in
which neither man's will nor God has anyplace.
Send us a great majority. I shall receive it as a
proof of your affection, and my means of serving
you wilt thereby be increased, Receive, etc.,

WESTON, THE WALK 1ST.
Measuring the Kink far the Great 100-Mile
warn.
Yesterday the Empire Rink. New York, was
measured, in Mr. Weston's presence, by Mr.
Wallace, the manager, and a track, five feet
wide, was laid out on tbe floor around its outre
circumference. A line drawn through the cen
tre of this, or two and a half feet from the outre
edge, and going all around the aink, was found
to be exactly lo6 leet t inches; so that seven
times around, and 145 feet 0 inches over, will
make just a mile; and in order to walk 100 sta
tute miles ot 5280 feet each, Mr. Weston must
go around the track 710 times, with 013 feet 6
inches extra. To do this in twenty-two hours
will be at the rate of a little ovea four and a half
miles, or thirty-three times around the rink, per
hour, not allowing any time for jest.
Mr. woston will, tneretore, beobliired to make
nearly 720 entire circuits of a track 733 feet 6
inches in length at the rate of two minutes to
each circuit. Looking at these figures, It would
seem absurd for any mortal man to attempt
such a feat, and if Mr. Weston succeeds he will
not only have lairly earned his 91500, but also
the reputation of being the greatest pedestrian
in the world. Mr. Weston invites anybody who
may doubt the accuracy of the measurement
to test it for himself, and in a few days he in
tends to have it remeasured in the presence of
several distinguished gentlemen whose attesta
tion nobody will dispute. The track is to be
covered with clay and shavings, and a fine band
of music will encer the great pedestrian on to
victory.

A Father and Ilia Two Nona Drowned on Sun
day Alorulas.
A heart-rending affair occurred one mile
north of Oakville Station, opposite Catskill, on
the Hudson, at 8 o'clock Sunday morning, which
resulted in the drowning of the well-known
doorkeeper of the Assembly in ISO'J, Mr. R. A.
Decker, and his two sons. It appears that the
youngest son, James, awakening in the morn
ing before the other members of the family,
went down to the beach in front of the house
and got in a small boatjto play. Accidentally
stumbling he fell out of the boat into the river.
His frantic cries for help were heard by Mr.
Decker, his father who was still in bed, and
who rushed from tbe house to save his son. He
entered the water and waded towards the little
fellow, but when he reached him both were so
exhausted that they at once disappeared to rise
no more. The noise, it seems, also attracted
the attention of Delbert Decker, another and
older son. eighteen years of age, who was also
in bed. He, loo, hurried out and waded iu, but,
rad to relate, seemed to become at once ex
hausted and sunk. The bodies of all three were
soon after recovered. Tho affair has cast a
gloom over all classes in the vicinity. The
mother and another son are left to mourn their
tritle loss.

FROM THE SO UTU.
The Mace-Allen Prlze-FUht.
Thirteen Miles from New Orleans, May
10. The Mace-and-Allen prize-fight excursion
was announced to leave at 4 A. M. and got off at
5 precisely. A large crowd was at the Jackson
Railroad depot as early as 3 30 A. M., among
whom were many prominent merchants, lawyers,
physicians, ex-oflicers of both armies from the
grade of generals down, and well-known sport
ing men from all parts of the country.
A detail of about seventy Metropolitan
policemen accompanied the train out for a
quarter of a mile, where all persons without
tickets were put off the train, which was de
layed some twenty minutes in consequence.
The train consisted of some passenger cars well
filled. There were probably 700 persons, of
whom about two-thirds were of the better
classes.
The Chicago Base Ball Club were among the
excursionists. No incident worthy of note oc
curred previous to starting. The crowd was
very orderly. On reaching a point about five
and a half miles distant from the city the train
stopped, and in an instant the cars were emptied;
out all were ordered on board again, as the spot
was Inside tho Metropolitan district.
The train proceeded to a point about three
miles above Lunersville, St. Charles Parish,
where all arc on the field aud preparations
making for the contest. The betting is about
three to two on Mace, though the Allen party
arc very confident. The weather is delightfully
clear and pleasant.
Both men are in splendid condition. Mace
will weigh about 173 and Allen 10S. Mace and
Allen came to the ground on a dummy engine,
which followed the train.
Mace's face does not present the lleshy ap
pearance that Allen's does.
All are now under way to tho ring, which is
to be pitched near the river, about a mile distant
from the railroad.

English champion. But ten rounds were
fought, and the entire contest was over in forty
four minutes. First blood was claimed for
Mace, and first knock-dwwn for Allen. Allen
was badly punished, but Mace is scarcely in
jured. John C. Heenan and nearly all the
sporting population of the country were on the
ground. The best of order prevailed.

Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph.
Washington, May 10. The Reconstruction
Committee failed to agree to-day upon the
Ccorgia bill. Farnsworth's bill to admit the
State without conditions was voted down.
Butler proposed to report the old bill with an
amendment that Georgia, Mississippi, and
Texas be allowed to have militia. Mr. Law
rence proposed the old bill be amended eo that no
votes shall be excluded on account of not
having paid his tax, and a preamble setting
forth that the government of the State shall be
provisional until the State is admitted by Con
gress. Without taking action the committee
adjourned until Thursday.

The Ways and Means Committee took up the
Internal Revenue bill to-day and made con

proposition to reduce the taxes forty millions
was considered, but it was deemed unwise, if
not impracticable. '

Washington, May 10. The Department ot
State has, in compliance with a resolution of tho
Senate, communicated to that body entire copies
of despatches of J. Simes Smith, late commer

Davis Hatch, acitiren of the United States who,
being charged with aiding the revolutionists,
was condemned to death by a military commis
sion but pardoned by the Senaus Consultum.
Smith says that previous to these proceedings
the ship Tuscarora arrived from Key West,
when he called upon Commander Green and ac
quainted him with the particulars of the case
and also expressed his desire that tho Tuscarora
should proceed to Barcelona, where Hatch was
confined.
The commander replied that notwithstanding
his willingness to comply with the request he
could not do so as his instructions placed the
ship at the disposition of General Babcock. The
latter, it is stated, did not seem disposed to co
operate. Hatch's ftoie had been pillaged twlje,
aud when he was compelled to leave he aban
doned a valuable cargo of wood prepared for
shipment and also his personal effects.

The male prison dock was crowded this morn
ing, and the cases of the inmates were disposed
of in the following order:
Joseph Smith, colored, was convicted of the
larceny of a bolt of calico from the shop No.
41!) South street. A young lady attached to the
shop saw the prisoner tako the" goods from tho
door, gave him pursuit, and, with the aid of an
oflicer, took him into custody.
Henry Young, colored, was convicted of tho
larceny of a pair of boots from No. ttJO South
street. On the 4th instant he went to this store
for the pretended purpose of making a purchase,
and when he found an opportunity he slipped
these boots under his army overcoat and walked
off. The theft was immediately discovered and
the thief camrbt just as he was entering a pawn
ebon in St. Mary street.
William Hayes, a young man, but evidently
an English professional, was convicted of a
charge of enteriug a grindstone factory in York
avenue, west side, below Fourth street, with
intent to steal. The testimony given by two
policemen and a boy employed in this factory
disclosed the following state of facts: On the
morning of tne 4ih Inst, a bunrlarv was com
mitted at the house adjoining this factory, and
me ouicer surprised ine Durgiars at tneir work,
cuusiug mem to seam per away in con
fusion, leaving their implements behind.
One of them scaled a fence, drormed his can.
and fled into the factory, after which the ollicers
were unable to find him. Later in the day a
boy, who worked in the factory saw the prisoner
creeping cautiously down from tho garret. See
ing that he was observed, he asked the boy if
he had an old cap he could give him, but the
boy recollecting the recent burglary, became
frightened, ran away, and gave information to
the ollicers, who had kept constant watch upon
the building. After a short chase he was ar
rested. t
The prisoner stated that he was a stranger
here, had lost his hat in the Delaware river, had
gone to this factory by mistake, and that be was
not only innocent but ignorant of this offense.
The cap the ollicers picked up in their raid upon
the burglars was tried upon the prisoner and
found to fit admirably. The jury, after a short
absence, rendered a verdict of guilty.

ing prisoners were arraigned upon the charge

Incidentals.
Boston's public library affords visitors tho
best of current literature and the werat pf bad
air.
Baltimore colored people complain that the
whites crowd the street cars appropriated to the
use of the blacks, and compel them to walk.
The Alabama Republican State Convention
has been postponec by the State Committee from
the 28th of June to Tuesday, August 80.
The Canadians are pleased with their new
fractional currency; but then it is worth its face
in gold.
The leaders of the Fenians call themselves
Ceplres, perhaps, because they scent the battle
afar off very far oil.
An Ohio mau is iu a state of rage because
he has discovered in a paper-mill 4000 pounds
of new State public documents, which had been
sold by a count j otllcer at three cents a pnuud.
The announcement of a death in a Massa
chusetts paper one day last week was followed
with 4,New York papers please copy. Of such
is the kingdom of heaven." The Springfield
JiepuUUcan seems half inclined to doubt the
assertion, but, of course, it is only bliaded by
jealousy.
Hon. J. P. Bradley, who passed through
Louisville last week on his way to New Orleans,
wrote a note to the editor of the Courier-Journal
of the former city, denying in the most
positive manuer that he had anything to do with
President Graut's villa at Long Branch. The
denial has been made before by those who were
fully cognizant of the facts, but this authorita
tive stattiiuent may do good in suppressing the
slander.
The Toronto Glo!e reveals some of theanimus
which has inspired recent aetiou In Canada, iu
this remark: '-Let tho United States express a
willingness to make reasonable tariff arrange
ments w ith Canada, and nothing more will be
said of the three-mile boundary line. Canada
has full power to enter Into such au agrcemeut
w ith iho Slates, and by a very simple process
American fishermen can be reinstated as right
ful participants iu Cauadiau fisheries."
Mrs. Murth at last realizes that she is in
jail in Baltimore, and not in a hospi'al, and
although she does not understand the cause she
does not complain. She continues to inquire
alter her children whom she murdered, having
no Idea that they are dead. The pain in her
head distresses her greatly at times, and it is for
this ailment that the supposes she is kept in
confinement. Notwithstanding every exertion
Eoesible has been made to gain some tidings of
er husband; nothing of his whereabouts can bo
ascertained, and it is generally believed that he
is dead.

The bank statement yesterday is quite as
favorable as any of its predecessors. The de
posits show tho largest Increase for many weeks,
being over a million In excess of the previous
week, whilst the loans expand but very slowly,
showing an advance on the previous week of
only 1170,341. This relative discrepancy be
tween the progress of tho deposit lines and the
loans has been one of the features of the market
for several weeks past, and it is the direct cause
of the extreme ease which has characterircd the
loan market for some time.
To-day there Is no new feature calling for
special notice. The rates are becoming more
irregular and nominal, owing to the difficulty of
finding temporary investment for the surplus
capital afloat.
Gold is comparatively dull but very steady,
the only fluctuation up to noon bcinir between
114(S)114?, closing at 114f. b
Government bonds are quiet but strong, prices
showing a slight advance on closing sales yes
terday. Local stocks were exceedingly flat, and
scarcely enough was done to euable us to fir
prices. There were some small sales of City
sixes, new, at 102X-, No Reading stock was
sold, but bli was bid. Small sales of Catawissa
preferred at 87 b. o. 43 was bid for Little
Schuylkill, 56 for Pennsylvania, and 20' for
Philadelphia and Erie.
Canal shares were dull and lower. Tho only
sale was in Schuylkill preferred at 16, a decline
of 1. The balance of the list was overlooked.

THEN. Y. MONEY MARKET YESTERDAY.
Prom tht X. r. JlcraU.
"The feature on which hinges the present active
speculation at the Stock Exchange is the continued
great ease In the money market. The banks are
overwhelmed with deposits of national bank notes,
reflecting the flow of money from the country to the
metropolis, which is the only place where It can
now be employed at Interest. To-day It was almost
a drug, and the banks, In their desire to utilize the
large balances now on deposit with them, were
oilering these notes, free of Interest, for five to
ten days, on condition that the equivalent should
be returned in greenbacks. The leading Govern
ment dealers were accommodated on call at three
to four per cent, and the stock houses at five
per cent. The Increased values at the Stock Ex
change, and the enlarged volume of business, seem
Incapable of keeping up with the supply of money
available for call ioaus. Tho plethora of money in
the city has seldom been equalled, and Inspired new
courage on the part of certain operators, who hesi
tated about purchasing at the present advanced
prices. In the discount market the lowering of the
rate on call led to more currency for paper, and
prime double acceptances were readily salable at
six to seven per cent. The season of the year is not
favorable to an abundant supply of paper, and hence
the demand has not much of a stock to select rrom
Foreign exchange was firm, on the basis of 109V(a
109?; for prime bankers' sixty-day sterling and lWi
110 for sight bills.
"The Gold Room exhibited still more visibly the
cessation of the speculative feeling, or rather the
diversion of it to other fields of operation. I'nder a
revival of the Funding bill story the prices declined
to 114, the highest price havlDg been 114?,', which
was the answer to tho continued firmness of the
foreign exchange market. On the intelligence that
Congiess had adjourned over the day without touch
ing the Funding bill the price reacted to luv, the
market closing steady and dull. The absence of
speculative feeling was further shown in the carry
ing rate, which was parallel with the rate for money
in the open market.
"The low rates for money on call and the expecta
tion of a sharp advance in Government securities
led to a strong and active market for tho Utter, the
purchasers being for the most part capitalists and
moneyed corporations seeking higher rates of in
terest than thse attainable in the street with tbe
present plethora of money. The demand for some
dajs past has been from this class of buyers, the
speculative operators preferring the greater fluc
tuations in the railway list."
