Mexican Robbers Retaliate on Citi-
zens Of the Texan Borderffer the
Mckenzie Raid.

BRowNsvILLE, Sept. pa series
of robberies and grand murders have
recently been committed ON United
States citizens residing and travelling
on the Mexican border of the State
which seem to indicate that the ban
ditti select Anne ricans as the victims,
either as retaliation for Gen. Nc
kenzie's raid into the Kiekapoo camp
in Mexico, or because the authorities
are SO unfreindly to the Americans
that such crimes can be perpetrated
without fear Of punishment. Within
short time, Mr.. Montgomery was
attacked, robbed, and left for dead in
his house in Monterey. Jose Raveze
was beaten in his store in Camargo,
and left for dead, his assailants being
discovered in time to prevent a rob-

killed. Two Americans were attacked
and one wounded on the road near
Marina, escaping only after desperate
fight: in which one of their assalants
was mortally wounded. DR.. Haggarty
was killed in his house at Agusleagues,
and the premises robbed. The per-
petrators of these crimes were arrested
and their guilt clearly established ex-
cept in the Perdie case, yet rot one
of them was punished, the authorities
being either indifferent or powerless.
The facts have been proven before
the United States Consuls and sent to
Washington, in the hope that redress
will be demanded.

BALLOON DIsAsrER.-IowA, Sept.
24-Prof. Jno. Fl. Bailey, made an as.
cent from the fair ground in this place,
at $50 this afternoon in his hot air
balloon. just as the balloon left the
ground it took FIRE, near the mouth.
He had not secured his footing on the
horizontal bar, on which he stands.
and did not apparently see the fire
until he was too high to let 60 for safe
ty, but hung until he had reached an
altitude of twelve or fifteen hundred
feet, when the canvass which held
the hoop at the mouth, from which
he was suspended, burned away, and
he fell, reaching the earth a quarter
of mile from the point Of starting.
His body was frightfully mangled, the
fall driving his legs into the hard
ground up to his knees and life was
extinct.

A Defaulting Postmaster.

The Pittsburg Post Office was taken

master, arrested as defaulter. Nu-
merous complaints have reached the
Post Office Department in Washington,
from business men in this city, that
a large number Of letters containing
remittances had been lost at different
times. An investigation was ordered
some time ago by the Post Office De-
partment. There was found great
disorganization in the working Of the
office. The first evidence of defalcation
was when drafts on the Pittsburg P.
O., amounting to SIS 900, in favor Of
the Pan Handle R. r. Co., for mail
service, which was returned to the
Department protested. Al that time,
according to the Postmaster''s account,
he should have had funds on hand to
pay the drafts. This caused the
prompt action in taking possession of
the Office and suspending the Post.
master. There are also believed tc
be defects in the postage stamp and
money ordor accounts. The whole
amount will reach about $4,000.
Stewart has given bail to the amount
of $50 900.

The Geneea effect of the Clews sus-
pension has been to check the favor
able reaction in New York and else
where. The last and only important
suspension in New York is that of
Howes 4 Macy, an old brokerage and
banking concern. The banks of Balti-
more, and also virtually those of New
York, have suspended currency pay

is to turn even good securities into
