Coroner Kessler yesterday held an inquest at $50
East Forty-ifth street, on the body OF Philip Die
mer, German, thirty-two years OF age who died
under suspicious circumstances. For three months
past Diemer had been employed in a brewery, and

pain in his stomach and bowels. on Friday
afternoon he was found dead, and in the base
contained strong solution OF sub-acetate Of
oil lead, was discovered. Deputy Coroner Leo made
post norton examination Of the body and had no
doubt but that death was caused by the poison

THE FOREIGN MARKET.
The foreign market to-day experienced ripple
OF excitement, in consequence OF the London ad-
vices to the effect that the Bank OF England OF
discount had been increased from five to six per
cent The tremor, however, chiefly affected gold
and exchange, both Of which stTened. This result
was not unanticipated, it being known that the bull
lion taken from both England and France during the
last week was drawn on German and Austrian ac-
count, in response to the financial disturbance
prevailing in Vienna. Later in the day private
advices were to the effect that the banS directors
had at first increased the rate only half per
cent, but that after hall-past ten O'Clock, at
q called meeting, they had raised the
rate to six per cent This step was re-
garded as precautionary measure on the
part Of the Bank OF England to stop any further
heavy outflow OF gold to the Continent and 1t was
alleged that by the exercise Of such prudence
strength was being added to the great breakwater
between this centre and the Austrian panic. The
Bteadiness of American securities and consols in
the face of the rise OF the bank rate show that
ndence is yet mistaken. Rentes at Paris were
quoted at SAT- roc, being an advance. Erie also
advanced to 47a AN.
THE MONEY MARKET.
The money market continues easy at to I per
cent for call loans and at a 0 per cent for prime
mercantile paper. the supply OF the latter
not being equal to the demand. 1t is
believed that the rate of interest during
the next week will he still less, in consequence OF
the rapid accumulation OF money in the banks and
1he generally healthy condition represented by the
bank statement. Foreign exchange advanced to
1091 for long sterling aud 110l for sight, being

THE BANKRUPT la W.

As there seems to be some misaE prehen-
sion among the people as to the extent OF
the Bankrupt Law, and as to what is exempt
under it, we have thong t it proper to give
the following information for the benefit Of
those who are interested in 1t:
The Bankrupt Law originally exempted
$500 worth of household and kitchen furni
ture, to be set aside by the assignee in
Bankruptcy, having due regard 10 the con-
ditiou and social standing of the petitioner,
but in no case to exceed the amount of $500 ;
and moreover all exemptions allowed under
the State laws, which in this State are the
poor debtors law, and since 9th July 1869
the Homestead exemption Of $4,000. But
the State courts having decided that this ex
emption conld only apply to debts created
after the adoption of our present constltu-
ton. an amendment to the Bankrupt Law
recently passed by congress and approved
bv the President, declared that it extends
to old debts as we'll as new, judgement liens,
and DEGREES of State courts, any decision ofthe
State courts to the contrary notwithstand-
ing.
Hence the Bankrupt Law, now exempts
from all debts. judgement liens, DEGREES So,
property to the amount $4,000 under the
Homestead exemption, $500 under the orig
iual Bankrupt Law and whatever else may
be claimed under the poor debtors law. Blu
it has been decided that this exemption does
not extend to deeds of trust, mortgages or
vendors. liens. The cost Of going into
Bankruptcy is about SIS Of which $25 is
for attorneys fees.

Daring Burglary at WaynesborO'
Deaths.

Correspondence of the Stanton Vindicator. I
WAYNEsBoRo', VA, March Is.
A bold and successful burglary was COM
mitted in Waynesboro', on the night of the
18th. The store of Messrs. Smith 4 Patter-
son was entered by boring with brace and
bit an opening sufficient to pass the hand
through and remove the inner fastening to
the shutters, fronting Main street. Hosting
the window an entrance was eas! effected
With lighted candle the work of selecting
was proceeded with, in the coolest manner
possible. The money drawer containing some
$40 was placed upon the floor, and relieved
Of its contents. A silver watch struck
their fancy, which was appropriated. A
number OF pairs Of pantaloons were added to
the inventory, shoes carefully selected to fit
doubtless many other articles could be
found among the spoils After they had fin
ished at Smith 4 Patterson $, the party pro-
ceeded to the store of Mr.. Thos H. Antrim
Immediately across the way, and began ope-
rations on window. There the skill of the
artists was very creditable. and their audac-
ity was marvellous. The timely disturbance
of their operations, by the hosting of win
dow overhead, with tokens of discovery, put
the rascals to flight and the scene closed.
The augur bit was left in the unfinished hole

nance being on the main thoroughfare, makes
the impotence the more consummate. No
