COLLECTING A -DEBr.-A lively fight took
place at the foot of Union street yesterday al
ternoon, caused by an attempt to collect forty
cents The irate creditor, who had waited long
for his pay met the impecunious debtor, and
proceeded to discharge fthe disagreeable duty
of tlunning OF course the debtor was waiting
for one of those remttances which never come,
and he professed his inability to pay. At this
the creditor waxed exceeding wrath, and offered
to punch his debtors head for the Insignificant
sum of two and one-half cents The debtor de-
clined this extremely liberal offer, and went
one better by generously volunteering to drape
the others eye in mourning, gratis. Then they
clinched. The contest was long and doubtful
and the sun went down upon their wrath. At
last, as the mild-eyed stars were creeping out
one by one, the man who owed got the better of
his opponent, and bore him to the earth. Then
the tables were turned, and the other man oh'd.
Thereupon the victor, seeming satisfied with
this new way to pay old debts. helped the van
pushed to his feet, and they walked off arm in
arm, touching foretaste of the millennium.

PHILADELPHIA, January ia fire
occurred this morning at the late residence
of Edwin Forrest. A portion of his library
was destroyed, including nearly all his
valuable Shakesperian collection. The
famous original copy of Shakespeare,
which Mr.. Forrest always kept in glass
case, was consumed. During his life he
frequently remarked, concerning this
work, that in case OF fire In the house he
would rather anything else should be con-
sumed than that volume should be harmed.
The volume was published in 1923, and
was valued at $4,000. The fire did not
extend beyond the library. The gallery
containing paintings and specimens Of
the fine arts is not injured by the fire,
which originated from defective flue. The
greater portion of the books in the library
escaped damage, except from heat and
smoke. The loss will be $4,000 OF
5000.

Purchase of SANTANA Bay and PENN.
Sula.


NEW YORK, January, 15.-Some
months ago several business men of the
highest financial standing conceived the idea
OF purchasing SANTANA bay and peninsula,
for which the government attempted to ne
gotiate. In 1869 a correspondence took
place between them and the Dominican
government for the realization of their de-
sign. A company was formed with the
following officers: President, Allen b.
Stockwell /; vice. president, Paul N. Spof-
ford +; treasurer, Henry Clews secretary,
r. R. Hazard. Directors: Fred. Schuch-
ardt, Geo. W. Pullman, Samuel G. Howe,
VIM. q. Fargo, s. l.. M. Barlow, G. X.
Harrison and Oliver Ames.
After several meetings it was resolved to
send special steamer with three commits
sioners, bearing the amount of the purchase
money in gold, to consummate the trans
action, and the steamer Tybee was chartered
for the purpose. On the 18th of December
convention was held, the commissioners
representing the company. and President
Baez and Cabral the Dominican govern
ment. After full elaboration, satisfac-
tory result was arrived at and the purchase
effected. The people of San Domingo rati-
fled the arrangement, and treaty between
the company and the Dominican govern
ment was concluded, to 60 into effect JAN
uary LIST, 1873.
The company is granted almost all the
rights of an independent government will
have its own flag, police and revenue off,
GERS the right to construct railroads,
charter vessels, collect taxes, etc. Any
question arising between the company and
the Dominican government, it is stipulated
shall be referred to some European power
for arbitration. On the treaty being COM
pleted, the Tybee sailed for Puerto Prin-
cipe, from whence the company received
the intelligence of the satisfactory result OF
the negotiations. The capital of the COM
panY is twenty million dollars.

APPoRTIoNMENT OF PUBLIC SCHOOL
FUNDs.-Rev. DR.. W. II. Ruffner, super
intendent of public instruction, has made
an apportionment of twenty-five cents per
head of school funds, on the basis of the
old census.
County superintendent are advised that
they may use the old or new census, ac-
cording to their judgment as to which is
the more correct.
Richmond gets $4,345 so; Petersburg,
$1,000 so; Norfolk, $l,545 so; Lynch
burg sS1S 90; Alexandra, 1892 so; Hen
rico, $977 90; Hanover, 81. 1915 90. and
Chesterfield 81 ,536 %.
Indications point to continued reduc-
ton in the school income from the state,
owing to the lowering of assessments, to
the want of some law requiring delinquent
lands to be sold for taxes, and the holding
back of tax payers, with the hope of being
able to pay in coupons.
