The New Loan-Claim OF Kentucky
Fruit DfstillatiOn in California.
New YORK, July 2l.-The following
is Washington special to the Tribune,
Of the Goth: The records in the Treas
ury Department show that up to yester-
day s67,OO0,OOO OF the new fund loan
has been subscribed for. This saves
the Government treasury an annual in
terest of $4,000. Should Mr.. Bout
we'll expend one years interest in pla-
cling this loan on the market he will
then receive a saving interest of $67, 900
annually for nine years. Therefore the
statement that the Government would
sustain loss by the loan are inconsid-
crate.
Kentucky has not yet received the
money for enrolling her State militia.
This claim, which has no bearing on
the State war claim as authorized by
Congress, was allowed by all OF the
accounting officers of the Government
through whose hands it passed, except
in the warrant division, where it was
stopped on account of some technicali-
ties. 1t was subsequently signed and
sent to Secretary Boutwell,. The Secre.
tary of the Treasury is the only officer
authorized to decide on claims of this
character. 1t is now before Boutwell,,
and he is somewhat in doubt respecting
the validity of this claim. 1t will prob
ably not be decided until the matter is
argued before him in behalf Of the
State
E. S. Holmes, the clerk in charge Of
the section of distillation in the Inter
nal Revenue Bureau, starts for Califor-
MIA tonight, for the purpose of investi-
eating the manner Of fruit distillation
in that State. Complaints have recently
been made by winters in California that
the regulations OF the Internal Revenue
office in relation to that branch of dis
tillation is not applicable to the manner
in which it is carried on in that State.
Recent Hurricane in New Found.
land.
Advices state that Sir William Logan
and his party, who left St. Johns, n.
F., as geological surveying expedition,
on the 18th inst, were entirely cut off
on their route by severe storm on the
l4th, which swept away the bridges
and flooded the principal parts Of the
only road they had to travel upon. 1t
is probable that the hores and baggage
attached to the expedition have been
either lost or badly injured. The party
are believed to be safe, inasmuch as
they were provided with portable gutta
percha boats and over-cover. The
storm has done considerable damage in
and around the towns Of Topsail and
Holyrood, New Foundland. 1t is said
to be a continuation of the hurricane
which blew over the coast Of Labrador
some weeks ago, destroying three hun
dred and twenty-five fishing smacks,
twenty-three dwelling houses, over ten
stores, and about three hundred thou.
sand dollars worth OF dried fish, fishing
slukes and other property. The num-
Der Of lives already ascertained as lost is
ninety-three, while many more are ex-
pected to be added.
A Lost Child.
A poor Italian named Pietro Garlella,
OF Troy, New York, arrived at this city
a few days ago, searching for his only
child, beautiful girl ten years of age
who had been stolen or enticed away
from home by villain named Giacimo
Mustlne, an organ grinder. She disap-
peared on the 29th Of April, in company
with Mustane, from Troy, and since
then no trace can be found of her. The
child is three feet nine inches high, and
slim, of dark complexion, with brown
hair and dark eyes. She can speak
very little English. 1t is feared the
poor child has met with foul play or has
been left with one of the keepers Of the
infamous houses in this city.
Fight Between German and Irish
I,abOrers.
The Sun says that Naluet, on the
Hackensack extension of the Erie road,
has been, during the last week, the
scene of serious disturbances between
the Erie employees, a number being
Irish and German laborers. To guard
against national disputes, the company
stationed the Germans at one point
and the Irish at another. But the men
met in the village after the hours OF
labor and entered into deadly contests
On Saturday the men, having been paid
off, repaired to the saloons in the vii
lage. A number of Germans were, at
ten o'clock in the evening, slipping lager
in Jacob Gross saloon, and number
of Irishmep, who were under the influ-
enc. of liquor and bent on mischief, en-.
tered. They picked a quarrel and
eventually drove the Germans out. Their
violence was such that Mr.. Gross and
and his family were obliged to flee for
their lives. The Irshmen having thus
cleared the saloon, drank ale and liquor
and broke the glass and chinaware,
and then departed. On the following
Tuesday morning while Ryan and
ODonnelI, Irish laborers, were going
to their work, they were met by sew
eral Germans and terribly beaten with
clubs. Ryan may not survive his inju.
ries. Then the Irish laborers, at a
meeting on the same afternoon, resolved
to attack Gross saloon, the headquar.
ters of the Germans, and, armed with
clubs and stones, they appeared late in
