Gideon Haynes, warden of the Massachusetts |
state prison, has Forwarded his check TO Chicago
for S617 80: S404 of this amount was raised
among one hundred of the conyicts, the sums
of whose contributions ranged from three cents
TO twenty dollars. The balance was made up
by the officers attached to the institution.
Boston capitalists have lost considerably by
their investments in real estate and by mort |
cages upon Chicago city property, which has
been favorite use of money with them for
years past, the higher rate there presenting u
great temptation to those who looked for invest
mentS. Thus the Bay State will bear cOnsiG-
cradle share Of the financial burden of the great
ruin which has overwhelmed Chicago.
At a stated meeting of the OverSeers of Har-
ward college, on the 11th the president OF the
university presented votes of the corporation

On the 18th the committee of the Boston city
council having in charge the arrangements for
the reception of President Grant and the laying
OF the corner stone of the post Office held long
session, when the question of giving a banquet
at the Revere house was warmly discussed.
Among those present who took part in the pre-
limlnary discussion of the subject, were Hon.
Samuel Hooper, Hon. Genefy Twichell, and
Postmaster Burt. Strong grounds were taken
in favor and in opposition TO the proposed ban
quet In view Of the very general endorsement
OF the suggestion of the president, that the
money to be expended should be sent TO aid the
sufferers in Chicago, and in Difference to the
prevailing public sentiment, the committee voted
TO dispense with the banquet, and TO carry out
in every other respect the programme which has
been arranged and advertised
few days ago nearly coo worth of to-
bacco was entered at the port of Boston by
Maurice Eller. On the 18th the whole stock
stored in the United States bonded warehouse
. on Long wharf was seized by Inspector Graves
for false weights aud damages. 1t was entered
at between $4,000 and 10000 pounds less than
the actual weight, and large damage allowance
had been claimed and allowed but on closer in
spectiOn fully one-half of the amount on which
damages had been allowed proved to be sound.
Tobacco pays duty of thrty-ive cents on
pound and consequently an attempt was made
to defraud government out of over So 600. Mr..
n W. Bingham, special agent of the treasury
department. has been investigating the case and
the seizure is the result 1t is understood also
that the books Mr.. EleT have been seized, and
il is thought similar frauds NAV have been pre-
Viously committed by the same parties The
matter will probably be carried into court for
settlement.
