New YORK, January 19.-This morning
James Torreny, young man in the employ
of the Farmers Citizens National Bank of
Williamsburg, was dispatched, to this city
with Sll 600 in Treasury notes, and $1,000 in
checks, for exchange in the Park Bank. Af-
ter leaving the ferry boat, and while passing
through William street, Torreny was stop
ped by two men in a butcher cart, one of
whom Immediately jumped to the pave
ment and struck him across the face with
pistol, knocking him down and snatching
the treasure. The assailant jumped into the
cart and drove away, and has not yet been
arrested. The Citizens Bank offer $1,000
for the recovery of the money.
BrOught-fO Trial.
On Thursday the two men August Trie
tam and Thos. Clark, who robbed the
Adams Express Company several days ago,
were brought before the Supreme Court on
a charge Of grand larceny. They plead not
guilty, and were each required to give
bonds in the sum $4,000 for their appear
ance before the Superior Court for trial at
some future session. They failed to find
bondsmen, and were committed to jail to
await their trial, which will probably take
place at the March term Of the Court.
Pareja.
The Lima Cemmercio, speaking Of the
suicide of the Spanish admiral, says on the
afternoon of the fatal day, Pareja had come
on deck after dinner, with his officers. He
had a revolver in his hand, with which he
shot two birds on the wing. He then went
down his cabin, to from where shortly after
ward shot was heard. On somebody rush
ing in, the admiral was found dead and on
the table a letter in which, it is said, Pareia
said that as the commander Of the Covonga
did not have courage enough to do his
duty, so he did not have enough to sur
vive the disgrace of his flag, and finished
with the wish that his body might not be
buried in Chilian soil or in Chilian waters.
Fenian Matters.
The Fenian Senate has adopted resolu-
ton requesting President Roberts to call
Fenian Congress at Pittsburg for February
10th. 1t will be composed of delegates from
all circles favorable to the Roberts party.
Financial.
Commercial says, affairs in Wall Street
exhibit little change, stock market con
tinues unsettled. The recent dealers in
values of RR. stocks appear to have to q
considerable extent met the views of those
who have thought prices higher than is
warranted, by the late receipts. Ofthe pros
pect of future earnings, the prevailing dis
position appears to favor working the future
course of earnings before undertaking i'm
portant operations for either rise or fall.
At the board stock weres dull without any
important variation in prices though
tendency was generally downward. Goods
were quiet. Gold interest bonds a lower.
7 3Os continue firm, the first and third
series selling at advance. Ceres were low
er. Money is becoming a drug on the market.
The private bankers are generally lending
on call at 3 per cent. The banks most get s
per cent, but usually with the condition
that the loan shall not be called in within a
certain period.
The demand for discount is active, and
prime bills are taken at 64@7l per cent.
quite freely. Good names are current at
per cent. There is still a large amount OF
second rate paper offering which has mostly
to submit to l0@l5 per cent.
The rates of gold still tend downward
under the understanding that Secretary Nc
Culloch is disposed to press the adoption Of
the clause in the Loan Bill authorizing tie
negotiation of foreign loan. The increase
in the supply of cotton bills also tends to de-
press the premium. There is some speeula-
tive movement in the way of shorts which
may produce partial reaction when the
contracts come to be covered.
