EVENING BULLETIN. Tnesdny, November 33. 1860. the hew circuit judgeship. . , In tlie appointment of the additional Judge for the United States District Court for the Cir cuit of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, there is ■a naturally strong feeling that the” selection .should be made from the bar or bench of Phil iadelphia. In all distribution of Government 'Appointments or patronage, it is fair and rea sonable that regard should he had to a bal ance of honors between the'States concerned; 'and there is such a balance due, just now, to This great State, the keystone and the hottest battle-ground of the Republican party, is entitled to a full representation in all departments of the Government. Under the administration of President Grant, Penn sylvania was honored with the Navy portfolio and the Russian mission, and the ap pointments were. accepted and appreciated as becoming compliments to the important and honorable position of the State toward tiic Administration and the Republican party. But Mr. Borie resigned, and the Navy portfolio went to New Jersey, where it was most judi ciously bestowed upon the present' excellent and popular Secretary. Republican Pennsyl vania is thus left without a representative in the Cabinet, and this is an additional reason - why she should have the filling of one of the new seats on the Supreme Bench. But there is a better- and more permanent reason why Philadelphia should have this new judgeship, and that is because we have pre tusely the light man to fill this important post. Without wishing to make any invidious dis tinction in a profession which has so many ■ shining lights in Philadelphia, it is safe to say ' that President Grant can -confer this appoints went nowhere where the judicial ermine will' fall more gracefully or appropriately than upon tife shoulders of the lion. J/. Russell Thayer, Judge of the District Court of this State. Judge Thayer seems to be specially gifted, both by nature, legal -attainment, and judicial experience, for this position, llis reputation is wide-spread as an able lawyer, a cool, dispas sionate and dignified judge, an accomplished ' and refined gentleman, a man of sterling worth' and integrity, in the prime of manly vigor, and - every way fitted to adorn whatever position as a minister of the law he may be appointed to fill. We know of no member of the legal pro fession in Pennsylvania,jwhose selection for the post now to be filled would meet with more general approbation than Judge Thayer. liis popularity lias been won by no dubious or un worthy means. It is the fruit of a life adorned with the solid qualities ef virtue, personal ami political integrity and high professional ability. We do not pretend that Judge Thayer stands alone at the bar or bench of Philadelphia, in the enjoyment of these distinguishing qualities: but he certainly possesses them in such well balanced proportions that in casting about for .the most suitable appointment to the new Judgeship we have no hesitation in expressing the belief that President Grant cannot select any gentleman for the Circuit of the District ®f Pennsylvania and New Jersey who will be more cordially welcomed this city and State than the Hon. Martin Russell Thayer. SHEAIRICAJL ABSURDITIES. It is a somewhat remarkable fact that tlie realistic tendency of the theatre at the present day has not effected, reformation of many-of those ancient customs in the mechanical and ■other business of the stage which had their origin far back in tlie early theatrical period when, the stage carpenter,, was not an artist, when the costumer was not expected to enter tain a decent regard l'orthe proprieties, when scene painter )vas a mere smearer of lin seed oil and vermilion, and when chemistry, .electricity and steam had not been thought of by managers. But while we have lime-lights .and railroad trains, actual horses ' and perfect copies of well-known localities, while the gory bandit .has lied before the modern boot* black, and the raven-tressed I’rincess has been .frightened ifito retirement by the' unpoetic peanut woman, stage managers still cling to certain of tlie traditional absurdities, and refuse to take tlie filial step towards real •istic perfection. In all our theatres the promoter still represents thunder by sliakiug a f L piece .of sheet-iron, the noise Oi which resein -1 hies thunder finite as nearly as tlie twang of a . jewsliarp resembles the music of a brass band. Despising the aid of electrical batteries, iliglit ' jiing is .always burlesqued with a few Hashes of gunpowder at the side scenes. When the manager wants .rain lie never fails to rattle a ; | Jot of dried peas in a cylinder, just as .the ...4,-- fdroeks very likely did twenty lj . • Ibis in .the presetted the-fact that water is p'i plenty and tlie water tax small. The soughing L , «f.tbe wind continues to resemble the lamenting r ■■: • <)f .a distemt baby in pain; and when suow- is - i wanted,'the familiar bits of white paper de ’ S aeend upon the stage and .cover the floor in x I lines wihicb are painful in their regularity. « ‘K 'Phere is no reason why these elemental mat- * tern shduld not be improved to a nearer resein- U i p'pu blance to nature. A little ingenuity, and ' - frffling subsequent axpeuse, will do tlie busi “"'‘‘k jiess satisfactorily. That circular white spot \ in the flat, with a candle behind it, never did . .-riPp look Hke the moon, and the most careful art eould not extract from it a beam of sufficient IK. ; strength to produce a shimmer on tlie rippling a waters of the lake—rippling waters which, we tj \ fiay sav. are merely suggested by slit canvas 1 * with a, row of gas-burners behind it. The j" ef’tho stage, also is an absurdity. Why dwnld a wandering spectre always be draped in 4 *J»c crape ? Why rnay it not sometimes wear J. E. GOULD, No. 923 Ohcetnnt Btreet. T HE PAII.Y. EVENING BULLEtIS-PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 23,1869. the popular white garments of thograVe, and walk over the stage without a stride ? The grand army, too, heeds a good deal of improve ment. The warriors of all times and oil . nations have not invariably gone to battle with tin-headed spears; nor have we any evidence that Ccesar's cohorts, and the Khan’s Tartars, and Richard’s Britons, and Macbeth’s Scotch-, -men,' and the Grand Duke’s all pranced into strife with irregular steps, clad In precisely the same rod sacks arid spangled leggings, with jelly-mould helmets npon their heads. But whether the soldiers of the stage represent either the one period and country or the other, they always, dress and arm and drill • alike, until the aesthetic spectator feels sufficiently in dignant to fight the whole brigade. It seems to us that there is room for im provement, also, in the plan that is adopted for signifying the arrival of vehicles. The custom, for years, has been to crack a whip three or four times, when the well-known fact is that drivers invariably stop cracking their whips precisely when they halt their fiery steeds. In the matter of stage money also, we might have more realism: and when the father dispenses his savings in that reckless manner peculiar to the stage, some attention might be paid to locality. If specie payments are sommon, or if the scene of the play is laid in Europe, the greenbacks, of invariable use are not properly consistent. In rea life men who engage in single com bat with broad-swords hardly ever regulate their blows by the strict stage rule of ‘•two up and one down,” especially if they have an insatiable thirst for blood ; nor have we observed that topers off the stage drink fifteen or twenty heavy draughts from one small glass without having it replenished. Boats which float upon the bosom 9f genuine water never proceed by hitches and jerks, as they invariably do upon the boards; and the common experience of manhood is, that the hounding billows of the raging ocean never raise a cloud of dust with which spectators are suffocated, after the fashion of the rolling waves of green cambric in the theatres. These are a-few of the things in which im provement is demanded by the truly realistic spirit of the times. Managers are quick enough to provide any mechanical effects, no matter how intricate and expensive they may be, which are required by the situations of a new and popular play. Why may they not ex ercise the same care in improving the old fashioned absurdities with which the stage has been disgraced for centuries ? A dramatic per formance is intended tp be a representation of real life, and anything which tends to make the illusion more complete is worthy oi adoption. It is quite as desirable that nature should be imitated by the mechanical contrivances as by the actors. VANDERBILT AND PEABODY. The people of New York, in awarding honors to prominent men, show a strong preference for the living rich, who have done nothing for mankind, over the dead, whose lives and fortunes were devoted to works of philanthropy. An- effort to raise fluids for a monument to the late George Peabody has failed thus far. But a few days ago, a pompous bronze monument (said to have cost a million of dollars), to the living Cornelius Vanderbilt was dedicated with grand ceremonies. Mr. Vanderbilt, so far as the public knows, lias 'done no single great act of benevolence, and has given no money to educational works. He has simply grown rich by shrewd speculations, in which thousands of honest men and women have been defrauded. But New York has always honored smart gamblers. It sends Morrissey and Wood to Congress and puts up a gorgeous monument to Vanderbilt. It has leaked out, however, that tlie crowd that, assisted at the dedication on Hudson Square, last week, had a very striking proof of the meanness of the man whom they were honoring. A grand banquet, with unlimited champagne, was expected. But nothing was furnished but some cheap cake and lemonade, which disgusted tlie assembled convufes. The Kew York Evening Post says that tlfi: omis sion must have been from forgetfulness. On •Saturday last Mr. Vanderbilt was in Court, and to the amazement and disgust of Mr. Dudley Field, who was cross-examining him, it be came evident that he had no memory what ever. He did not remember having received a check for a million dollars; lie did not recog nize his own signature ; he did not know the price of a stock at a time when he owned fifty thousand shares of it; he did not know liow a check was certified; he could not remember 1 when, where or how many times he had seen Mr. Could on a certain matter. A man so im becile must be excused for forgetting to spend a few hundred dollars for Champagne for his friends. But what a pitiable spectacle it is to see such a man honored with a stupendous bronze monument, while a few hundred dol hirs is all that can be subscribed in the same community for a monument to George Pea body. T'lie ingenious robbery of the Boylston Na tional Bank,, -in Boston, of valuables placed there for safe-keephig, should teach all persons the folly of making such deposits. A bank receiving bonds, jewels,, plate and other valuables for safe-keeping, is-not responsible for them. This robbery, like others that have taken place in this city and New York, protfes that ordinary bank vaults and safes are hot proof against thieves. The only really safe places for such articles are-the vaults.of the Safe Deposit Companies that have been es tablished here and elsewhere. These com panie's liate large capital, and have vaults and safes that are not only secure, but are con stantly guarded by faithful watchmen. More over they are responsible for everything they " receive." This beiiigTlie" "case", it is sliiprisihg that any one haying valuables to preserve should not put them in the care of the Bafe Deposit Companies. The English people have shown a very mean and petty spirit concerning the Suez Canal, which must be owing to the fact that it has been a French enterprise, and that other coun tries of Europe are likely to derive more bene fit from it than England. 1 At the grand open ing ceremonies, no British prince or other dig nitary was present, while France sent her Em press, Austria her Emperor, Italy her king’s second son, Prussia her Crown Prince, aiid Holland her Crown Prince and Princess. Now that the work is finished, the London papers are trying to disparage it, and tiie Associated Press is employed to circulate the opinions of the Times and others against it. * All tills is unworthy of a great nation, and we hope it will be effectually rebuked'by the'complete, access of the great undertaking. A correspondent i’ro'm Little Rock, whose letter wo print In another part of this paper, is very severe npon the “Southern Radicals” in that State. He may be correct iff his opinions conccrning sonie of them; bnt the first two thirds of his letter show that under this same Radical rule, Arkansas is advancing in enlight enmeiit and prosperity in a wffji.siie never has before. In fact, the early part of the letter is a complete refutation ofthe charges or insinu ations Of the latter part; and even if some of these charges are correct; the'people, as they grow in wealth and intelligence, can correct all the faults that may have been committed by bad politicians.

[Special by the Pacific and Atlantic Telegraph.'}. Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 23.—A shocking butchefy occurred on, the Clarksville pike, about twelve miles from this city, yesterday morning. A man named Joe Barton, who rente a small farm, deliberately cut the throats ..'hr bis wife and three children, killing them ■instantly. The murderer has been addicted to drinking, and the impression is that lie was in a drunken lit when he committed the terrible tragedy. He made his escapo, and at last accounts had not been arrested. • Andrew Johnson, who has been at homo in Greenville for about a week, is expected here to-morrow or tlie day after. Tho bill authorizing tlie construction of the Cincinnati Southern iiailroad through! the Htate of Tennessee was called npin the House to-day by Mr. James, on its second reading. Mr. Fleming, of Knoxville, thought a bill granting such extraordinary franchises and privileges should receive mature deliberation before its passage, especially since a dollar of stock in the proposed road could not bo owned in Tennessee. He hoped it would be re ferred to the Judiciary Committee. Mr. James, of Hamilton, advocated the immediate passage of the bill, and contended that no honest op position could be urged against such a bill, since the construction of tlie road would be of such vast boncllt to the people of the Htate. He said that on its third reading an amend ment would be proposed to prevent discrimi nation against Tennessee freights and passen gers. The hill then passed the second reading without a dissenting vote. Negroes Attacked by Begnlaton. | Special by the Pacific and Allantic. Telegraph Com pany.) Frankfort, Ky., Nov. 22.—A band of nine to twelvo men, masked and clothed in gro tesque garbs, made an attack on Saturday night upon a congregation of negroes, as sembled for the .purpose of hearing preaching, upon the farm of Harve'y Scott, some ti or 10 miles from this city. Another report gives the number of men as mueb larger. They called themselves regulators, and declared that they intended to put. a slop to any meeting or assemblage of negroes. In tlie onslaught one negro was shot and slightly wounded in the back of the neck, and a number of others were shockingly beaten. None of the assailant*, were injured. No.other reason was given by the regulators for thoir conduct than that they intended to squelch all negro meet ings. It is said that a portion of them were recognized by tlie negroes, and one white per son who saw them averred for a time that ho knew a portion ot the party, but subsequently stated that he did not know them, and that lie was drunk when he said he- did. No arrests have been made, and it is presumed that the usual acquiescence of the civil authorities in the situation will occur. Collision of Ballroad Trains in Ken incky.

One of the witnesses said Smith was drunk.

John Holt (10 years of age) testified :—I remember the night John Hughes was killed on the Chestnut street bridge; I know E dward Smith, the prisoner: known him nine or ten years; saw Smith that night, the first time at Twenty-third and'Chestnut about 8f o’clock: O’Hara was with him; nobody else was with him then; I Joined them; Smith and O’Hara went up on the bridge ; I did not go with them; a little while, after Conway went', nn on the bridge; I' staid at Twenty-third and Chestnut about half an hour, and T met Conway and ;Smith coming ..down the bridge, and I went across to see wlmt was the matter,-for* I saw something under Smith’s' arm ; it was a shawl; Smith told me that be had knocked a man down ! and kicked him l in the guts and took the shawl from him; Conway, Smith! and me wont to, Twenty-second and Chestnut, to a grocery ■ store; Smith went to see if Mr. Bagley knew any thing about this shawl; Mr. Bagley told him that he had given a colored girl a ticket to rido home in tho cars; Mr. Bagley asked him if he could leave the shawl there; Smith said he would take it to the house, and if the colored girl came, to send her down there; Bagley was the one who said that there was a colored girl there after the shawl; •Smith did not tell me he got the shawl from the colored girl; we went down Twenty-third street and then to Sennot, and Donahue’s house; were'there about half an hour; then went to Smith’s house and were there abont quarter of an liour; after we left Smith’s house, a half square from the bridge, wo went to the bridge along Twenty-fourthstreet.; when we got to the bridge we went nji the steps on top; Smith. went first and 1 went bust; nobody was together but Smith, Conway and myself; when I got -tip I sawamaii coming up on the other side of the bridge from Twenty-third street; did not know that man; saw no one else on the bridge but that man ; saw Smith .and this man quarreling; saw Smith go towards the man; he walked across to the mau; don’t know whether the man had said anything; I did nijt hear hihi say anything; did not see Smith do anything when he first got to tlie man ; afterwards saw the man hit Smith, and Smith hit tlie man ; Smith hit him in the breast;.they were together about five minutes or so, fight ing; beard the man hallooing as’ho was going away ; don't know what he said; don’t know whether he was calling anybody; it was some thing like a squeal; alter they parted, Smith came to where I was standing;- 1 forget what he said. M r.Gibbons—“ Von recollect everything else —recollect that.” Witness—He told me he bad run a knife through him ; nobody was then on the bridge but me and Conway and Smith; the mau went west and we came east; heard the man squeal only once; Smith walked when he came from the uinn; wc then went to Dennis Harkness’s amt had a glass of ale; then went to Twenty third and Chestnut, streets, and then to Mar ket street, and then went over to West Phila delphia; we went over, the bridge to “Oyster -lack's,” where Smith called for three glasses of ale : when tlio man went down for the ale, Smith went out and we followed him out, without drinking the ale; we went but, Market street to another tavern, between Thirtieth and Thirty-first streets, where Smith and Con way went, in and 1 was outside: I did not wait tor them, blit went down to.

At half-past one o’clock the Court took a recess. THE ritESIIYTEBIAV IMOX. The Real Crisis. The Pittsburgh Dispatch, in an article on the reunion ol the Presbyterian churches, says that the real crisis is v»;t to come: > The next spring General Assembly will be the real crisis of Presoytcrianism. A Mode rator will have to bo chosen. Will a New School or an Old School man he elected 7 That question itself will require delicate handling. The Synods and Presbyteries will have to be reorganized, in some place.-, where two struggling churches’ now stand in rivalry a junction will have to take place, and one minister and one set of church oilicers be dispossessed. The missionary boards and societies of the two Churches will have to be consolidated; the theological schools likewise. The, bequests to tlie respective Churches, amounting to several million dollars, wilt pre sent legal difficulties. In fact every detail of this grand consolidation of two such power ful ecclesiastical organizations will. present an occasion for heart-burnings and jealousies, just as the consolidation of the regiments of an army has been found to do. And there will not be wanting men to tan these sparks of enmity into a groat flame. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

Tuesday, Nov. 23,1869.—The bank statement of yes terday affords but little hope of any improvement in th* immediate future of the discount market. The deposits: have fallen off 8505,297, and the loans 5350.685, whilst tho legal-tenders have decreased 8164,267. The clearings show a heavy declinein tho amount of business done and. a drawing in of the lines. The above exhibit affords & cluo to tho conservative course which the banks have found it necessary or convenient to pursue, and it makes any improvement in tho loan market, for tho present week at least, very improbable, to say the best.

J Monday, Noy. 22,-rThero wan a sudden revival of spec ulation in the stock market to-day . and the week opened upon a rather animated state of affairs in that depart ment of bnainc.os. Tho advent or return of several prominent operators wuu visible in the upward move ment‘which pric<H took to-day,and tl!Ope , ‘wbo wera on the opposite tack of speculation w*r« induced to cover their contracts aud take sides with them. The consequence wan an active market and a rather sharp advance in most of the railways, particularly the Western roads, a meeting of'the'direc tor* of Chicago and Northwestern being construed a« the preliminary step to the declarntlonofa live percent, dividend on both the • common and preferred shares, while with reference to St.. Paul it was rumored that the .directors intended to declare seven per cent, cash on the preferred, and ten per cent, scrip on the common. The meeting of tue 1 Northwestern directors did not result in tho declaration of any dividend, although the Question is hardly a proper one until the final monthly meeting of the year, which takes place the first Friday in December. Whatever ii intended in the way of dividend)!, the bullish feeling vra# strong in hath stocks and occasioned an advance of one to two per cent. Lak** Shore, Rock leliuitl and Reading also prominently participated in the ri*e, which extended to all the rail ways except tho Vanderbilt securities: These latter were feverish and, in th<*main, heavy. The chief exception to’ the buoyancy of tho market was Pacific Mail, which, upon-minors that the directors had passed the dividend, broke to 51%.but eventually re covered t 053 when the reports could not he authenti cated. The other and ten# premature exception was Western Union, which, feeling the competition of the r**- dnrvd tariffs on the. two rival lines, declined to 35?«. Tho change in the current of speculation was. perhaps, tho more remakable from the fact that the money market showed more activity under draft* upon tlie banks from the \\ e«t , and Sjuthurst, particularly from tli° direction of New Or leaij-, where exchange on New York is a half per cent, premium according to ibe news advice, and still higher ftceordhip to privatedwpatches. All demands were easily mt't at httpi) per cent,, and many trauftaetioh" on stocks took place ut six. The government dealers were aeeom mcwlat.'d at five to six per rent. In'commercial piper there wit., more currency for the prime grades, which Kitted at nine to fourteen percent., these rates including oth Urns and »iiort Some of the stock houses were oftered four months' loans at the rate of twelve per cent, per annum. The Trciif-.ury movements ««t Hit-week arc averse to easy money, a* the purchase* of Uondv are a million than the salc-t o_f gold; but the market will nut feel it before Saturday,- whth? the differenci* will not be in the bank statement of that day. but will be carried ov«-r to next week. The foreign ».-x -ihangeir wore nominally theeamc at. the wxumters of tbo prime bankers, but on the street sterling was an eishth percent. lower than ]a**t week, owing to seloa of hille out ri’second hand' v,lk» parted with them to p r nciire < urieiicy or for speculatiw: purposes. In the <lov»-niim-nt market there was a steady upward 'move ment on light traiwietiuns, in sympathy with the general \ u< yaucy of tho Stock Exchange, which ovci - c;inH' the effects' of the heaviness in gold. Th“ London quotations for American securities came firm In ; Hoiitioin bouda there was some activ ity in hew Teunessees in i-spouse to the introduction of a bill in the Statu Legislature requir ing ail foreign in&uranca companiea haring agencies in tho Htate to . deposit collateral security of TeTinessee with the State Comptroller. A similar law, it will bo operative in Alabama und Lonisiana. Its rdf cct will be to make a market for the bonds of tlie I State and re<luccthe amount afloat in speculative hands. The rest of the list was without important feature. During the seerion of the gold board all the sales took place at 126^’and 136b*. ,\fter\vnrds there was a decline to ", but the transactions at this figure were few, During the day over ten millions of gold was bought and wild “under the rule, v to adjust settlements of failures connected with the speculation of Hept.24. The trand artioDh wi re purely formal and no gold changed hands, although the board tat until after 3 o’clock in order to get through with them. The reopening of the Clearing liou.se bus begotten very little speculation, the total clearances to-day being six millions as against sixty tour millions, which was the average for 1868. and as KgaiaFt over five hundred millions on tho nienjomMti day when the gold 4 * corner M culminated. The agitation of the Questiou of specie payiuent& was lesff intimidating , in ite influence upon the miuds of holders of gold, but served to keep tlie ü bulls' , quiet. Hence the dullness which prevailed despite the outlet that was given to speculation by the renewal of Clearing Home opera tions. With oghtbumlred millions of paper money in circulation it is difficult to convince the shrewder clan!*, of speculators that it can be speedily brought to par\ with gold by any other proce&a’than violent contraction. Tbe receni discussion of this topic produced a tendeucy to lower prices at tho Stock Exchange. Was the re action therefrom "and the elasticity , of .ho . immense a volume of. paper, the .secret .of the new lease of specula tion which tlie ,k bults’ s took to-day in the stock market?

Tlie expedition which is to be made under Commander ; 6alfridge, of the Nipsic, will take out several officers at tached to the United States coast survey corps, to aid in ' making tho sur vey. Although the treaty negotiated with tlie Colombian government, by the Hon. Caleb Cushing, for the right qf way across the Isthmus, has not yet been ratified by the ;Schate, our authorities, considering that it certainly will he ratified, have decided to make tlie survey tor the proposed canal before tho sickly season commences next summer. It is thought it will take five or six months to make complete surveys; " THE CASE OF LIEUTENANT COMMANDER • The object of re-convening the Naval Court at Boston, which tried lieutenant.

' Gold opeued at 126 j, and rose to 126| on the sonsational story started by a morning paper that the Government proposed to seize the Spanish gunboats, now fitting out at this and other-points. -The' canard became manifest early in the day, and tho premium fell to 126} Governments are steady. Stocks opened with a considerable buoyancy, with an ad vance in Western shares. Towards noon the. buoyancy departed and there was a decline on the wholo list. British Mail fell to 51 j. THE BOSTON BANK ROBBERY. Additional Particulars. From the Boston Transcript, of last night, we clip the following additional particulars of the robbery of the Boylstou Bank: Last evening the Bovlston Baulc in this city was the scene of another hold and successful robbery, by which a large amount of bonds xvere taken from tlie vault of the bank, esti mated at over £500.000. As near as can at present be ascertained the particulars of this daring robbery are as fol lows: The 20th of October last, a man giving the name of William A. Juilson, hired a room in the building, No. 425} Washington street, os tensibly for the purpose of putting up bitters. This room adjoins that'portion of the bank building in wliicli the vault of the institution is situated. • It. is evident from an inspection of these premises, that , this individual, and perhaps confederates, havtj been at work leisurely hcTe, ever since tho apartment was taken, cut ting through the walls. A bookcase was liuDg np over the place where the work was going on, aud to make detection still more improba ble, a swinging: piece of wall had been made to elose up the hole which they were making. Two brick walls of eighteen inches each were required to be pierced; and this part of the work was 'evidently accomplished some time last week. The long time intervening between the closing of the bank on Saturday safterno'on and- the opening on Monday morn ing gave them an opportunity to leisurely cut through the half-inch plate iron linipg of the safe, which was accomplished by boring holes in a circle,makitig an opening sufficient to ad mit a small sized person.-The-valuables of the hank were in an inner steel-plate safe, which" an attempt was-made to force. The small trunks containing deposits which were placed in this vault for safe keeping at - the risk of the depositors were all taken. The amount taken cannot be definitely estimated, but there is not much probability that it will fall short of $500,000. The vault is a small one, about eight feet hy five, and the trunks ’ were ranged upon shelves in the easterly and westerly, sides. *> The room which Judson had taken was found in’a state of some confusion this morn ing. A valise with most of the burglars’ tools was found there, 1 It" was also ascertained that that individual had placed the bricks as they were removed from tlie wall into empty patent medicine boxes, of Which he had a number in ' the room. A description of the person who hired this apartment has been given to tho Chief of Po lice, and already the investigation of the affair has commenced. 3:15 jO’Olooht.
