Of the Advertiser last night, and the money
which had been left by Mr.. OByrne stolen. 1t
was a small amount, however, about 1880, the

in tin box and placed in case where card

were broken open.

REPORTED SHIPMENTS OF ENG
LISH SPECIE.

1t was reported yesterday afternoon at the Colo
Exchange that the largest shipments of gold on
record to this country were about taking place
from Europe. without loss Of time q HERALD re-
porter paid visit to the well-known firm OF J. J.
Stuart, whose Otilce is situated opposite the Post
ONCE to see what statement they might have to
make on the subject. Mr.. stuart was found in his
office, and made the following statement
"ln Ireland" said Mr.. Stuart, eve used to say,
when tue skies la we shall catch larks' and am
inclined to think that TINS report is somewhat OF
an invention. There is class of men who will
spread any kind OF report broadcast, simply lor
the purpose Of saving their own ends. We hear
often of large shipments. but wnen the steamers
arrive. they have no gold. So we generally look
upon these statements as stategetic movement
to depress the value OF gold. In the present case
the report has been raised to give the
gold ring facilities to 60 In and buy. The Bank OF
England has large gold deposits, believe. but II
large quantities are Withdrawn for shipment to
this market-the bank will naturally put up it's
rates. 1t Is said, cannot vOuch for its truthful
ness that upon the REQ ienlng OF the Stock Ex-
change, gold will be sent at least two per cent;
this Is merely an IDEA and must be taken for what
1t Is worth. 1t Is reported that f200, 600 in gold
has been shipped to-day by the Williams Guion
steamers from Liverpool, and that tomorrow tho
Inman and White Star steamers also sailing from
Liverpool will bring out gold; to have this con-
frmed we must, OF course, wait ior kilograms.

BROOKLYN BANKS.

There was no untOward excitement visible at
any OF the banks OF the City OF Churches yesterday
tour OF the leading institutions was made by the
which characterized the action of the panic
stricken depositOrs on Monday and Tuesday has
subslded, and better feeling OF security was ap-
parent. At the Brooklyn Bank, corner of Concord
and Futon streets, where the run had been great
est the day previous there were not more than
twenty-five or thirty people In line at one time.
and many Of these were persons who had with
drawn their money In haste to repent at leisure.
rms class OF people were returning their money to
the safe keeping OF the bank, having forfeited,
Inc President OF the bank s. ated that he believed
the worst had passed over, and that the accounts
rom abroad were more favorable. He was sorry
to see run" such they had been subjected to,
put then the depostors had perfect right to con-
tro ther own money; and whenever, In their judg-
ment, 1t was proper to withdraw their money, the
banks should let them have 1t. They had never
availed % themselves Of the thirty days noti-
aSsa to as e' hnySo %a
securities as the best government bonds upon
which they could always realize. The admnistra-
tion had acted n0by during the crisis; and were it
not lor the assistance OF the government NO bank
could have withstOOd the storm. Money was not
to be had on cheeks at any bank in the "twO
Cities" All the banks could do to certify their
checks, which enabled them to go through the
Clearing House. Two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars OF currency was obtained by the Brooklyn
Bank yesterday forenoon. When the hour ior
closing arrived there was nobody to bother the
paying teller. At the South Brooklyn Savings
Bank the same Improvement in the condition of
affairs was noticeable. There was no crowd, and no.
thing for the busy little porter the special officer
to do The Long Island and Dime Savings Banks
also enjoyed day OF perfect rest.

two loads OF grain, and they did not believe that
any OF their vesse would be delayed by want "

that were really suffering.
THE WHITE STAR COMPANY.
In the absence of Mr.. COrllss OF the freight do
partment OF the White Star Company IN Broadway
his representative stated to the reporter that the
small export trade was practically ruined Tor tho
present He did not believe that there were
10, 900 boxes OF cheese exported within the past
week. They had bought bills OF exchange at 1o8h,
but he knew thai Shippers In New York were valnly.
up to the present, trying to raise money on their
bills OF exchange, to ship tneir goods. Ihis
gentleman SAID that II the panic
continued and II something were
not done in the interim to relieve the shippers tho
effect ON all the steamship companies would be
very serious indeed. II arran gements could bo
made so that Shippers could negotiate their bills or

the death of man named Luke Marshall, convict
in that institution Fred. Lowe, one Of the deputy
keepers. placed an of1icial named Eastlack on re-
lief in shop No. where Marshall was at work,
while the former was absent on some
other duty. 1t seems that an old
urudee was existing between Marshall and East
lack. for some time back, and the criminal seeing
that there was . favorable opportunity on hand
to give vent to his pent-up anger, approached
Eastlack ana struck him fierce blow on the back
OF the head with o shoemakey's hammer, which
felled him to the ground, and would have sue
ceeded in putting an end to the prostrate
ofncial's existence but for the timely arrival Of
Lowe on the scene Of the scunie. The latter COM
manded the enraged convict to desist from beating
his powerless victim, but instead OF relaxing ms
fury he turned on Lowe and made determined
attack on him. The keeper drew MS revolver ana
his brain from the eYects Of which ne died at three
O'Clock in the afternoon. The deceased desperadO

Interview With Another Bank Presi-
dent.

Interview With Another Bank Presi-
dent.
Mr. G. W. Duer, President Of the Bank of the
HERALD in relation TO the wisdom Of the measure
proposed by the Stock Exchange. Mr.. Duer said:-
The Stock Exchange propose to the banks that
they shall guarantee all checks deposited. This
simply means that the banks shall make them
selves liable for Tom, Dick and Harry, and guaran-
tee that their checks are good. Now, in ordinary
times. If q customer, whom know well, comes to
me and hands IN a check asking me to guarantee
it, look at the bank 1t is drawn on,
and, If II appears to me a good one, l
take the customers word that the drawer
OF the check Is good and guarantee-hat Is to say,
that from that moment the bank becomes respOn-
sible for the check and the customer relieved from
all responsibility. If IN the meantime the bank
should tail the check would be counted among Its
liabilities. You know that no check Is usually
guaranteed by bank until it has passed through
the Clearing HOuse-that Is period OF about
twenty-tOur hours from the moment it IS deposited.
Of all danger OF the check being returned after the
twenty-lOur hours so that he should know
exactly where he stands. The arrangement would
be exceedingly pleasant nr,o, for the brokers'
banks, and l doubt if the proposed measure
will meet with favorable report from the banks.
We do not object 70 do as say-guarantee custom
ers' checks-but to do 1t for people whom we don't
that banks shall not call IN their loans for ten days,
that is q measure which depends upon the solidity
OF the bank. We should, doubt, all like to have
our loans in at present, but, perhaps, In view of
call in our loans directly upon the opening OF the
Stock Exchange, 1t may be possible that we shall
consent to this measure. However, no action can
be taken until the committee report upon the mat
