From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Oct. o.
The large demands for money by the
contractors on the extensive Improvements
on the streets made an exceedingly tight
money market here yesterday. High rates
even fabulous rates of interest-were Of
fered for short call loans, without finding
any one willing to open his purse strings.
In many instances the most approved dis
trct bonds were offered at fifty cents on
dollars, and even this seeming sacrifice
elected no response. A contractor was
asked how he could afford to shave bonds
at half their value, to which he replied
that if he could realize even that much
cash upon them he would make a hand
some profit upon the work done for the
Board of Public Works. This would sug-
gest that the Improvements are costing a
little more than an economical government
would care to pay.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. y.
The Philadelphia Inquirer publishes a
sketch of the career Of the notorious
bank robber, James Mccoy, son of Luther
Mccoy of Troy, NY. Heis at present con-
fined in the eastern penitentiary near this
city. He Is the leader of q large gang
whose robberies have been conducted on
gigantic scale for several years. The
band Is thoroughly organized, and into the
hands of its treasurer Is paid q percent
age of every robbery committed by them,
the money set apart to be used In extri-
eating members from whatever difficulty
they may fall into. James L. Mccoy,
the leader of the gang, was arrested seve-
raj years since in Troy, his native city,
for daring burglary. He was convicted
and sentenced to fifteen years imprison-
ment in the state prison. After serving a
short time he was pardoned. In 1866
Mccoy, with four conferderates, robbed
the National bank at Cadiz, Ohio, carry
ing away over 100000. They broke in
the house of the cashier, bound and
gagged him, and securing the keys en-
tered the bank anc secured the Waterman
in similar manner. Finding they could
not use the keys to tho safe they returned
to the residence of the cashier, and
with a pistol pointed at his head
compelled him to accompany them
to the bank and unlock the safes.
Obtaining hand car at the depot and cut
ting the telegraph wires they left the place.
As soon as the robbery was discovered the
citizens turned out armed in search of the
robbers. Coming upon the party the pur-
suers fired upon them, capturing four, two
of whom were wounded. The fifth got
away with $4,000. Mccoy was one of
the four captured, and they were commit
ted to the penltentiary in Columbus, Ohio.
Through the aid of son of one of the
keepers, who subsequently joined the gang,
Mccoy made his escape. He then went to
Arkansas, where a brother-in-law kept a
gambling saloon at the Hot Sulpher Springs.
Here Mccoy became quite celebrity, OBJ
tanning position on the staff of Gov. Clay
ton. Last year he returned to New York,
and was frcquenter of Murray's saloon
on broadway, passing as ex-confederate
Col. Harrison. One of his last attempts
in his profession was made on the Corn
Exchange Philadelphia. A detainer has
been filed by the authorities of the Column
bus prison, and when the four years of
Mccoy in the eastern penitentiary shall
have elapsed he will be taken thither
where it is likely special effort will be
made to keep him until lie shall have fin
ishcd his term of imprisonment.

AN ATTEMPT To STEAL A CHILD.
An unknown woman approached the
house of patrolman Rivers, No. 43 Ferry
street where his little child, aged twenty
two months, was sitting in the window.
She induced it to accompany her, and had
probably been gone fifteen minutes before
short search she proceeded to the ferry
landing and there found the kidnapper with
the child in her arms, waiting the arrival
of the steamer Dyer TO go to West Troy.
Mrs. Rivers seized the child and without
wasting words, started for home.

The BuddlngtOn Party.

NEW York, Oct. g.
A Washington special says it is under
stood that when Capt. Buddington and par
ty arrive here they will lie retained on
board the Tallapoosa till they have been
subjected to an investigation similar to the
one conducted by Secretary Robson last
spring when the party rescued from the ice
foe came to Washington. 1t is not sup
posed that Captain Buddingtons party
have seen the testimony given by the Ty-
son party, nor that they know anything
about ii except generally, and il is believed
to be better for all purposes of truth that
they should give their story without the
knowledge of what the other witnesses
have said. They will, on the same grounds,
not be examined in the presence of each
other.

a Communication From Brandon
Fire Department

Having this day seen an article in the
Rutland GLOBE unjustly charging the
Brandon Fire Company with neglect of
duty in not playing upon Simonds' Block
ct the time of the fire Saturday night, and
carrying the idea that those efforts were
all made in other directions allowing the
block to burn if it would. NOW, we con-
slider this unfair and dishonorable in the
extreme. for the fire company worked
with untiring energy to prevent the spread
of fire in all directions and when asked to
play upon the block the chief engineer
said it would be impossible to throw q
stream as high as the burning cornice but
would try and did SO, which resulted in
the fact that they could not reach it, they
then went back to the hollow where they
did great service in saving the mill, Briggs
shop and the foundry. We believe, and
we speak the minds of our best citizens,
that the fire company and every one did
all in their power to prevent the spread of
the conflagration, and instead of censurc
they are entitled to great praise.

The Undertook Poisoning Case.


Coroner HOLMAN of Hudson, assisted by
District Attorney Charles NJ. Bell. on Fri
day reopened the Nivervile poisoning case,
in which there is SO much excitement in
the town of Undertook, it being charged
that wealthy farmer named Carpenter
had been poisoned by his wife, a young
woman of somewhat questionable char
acter. 1t was shown on the examination
that Mrs, Carpenter had on two different
occasions purchased arsenic, which she
said was to kill rats, but now admits she
bought it to destroy her own life, but had
not the courage to take it. She also admits
that Mr.. Carpenter the day before his
death got up in the night and took strych-
nine, which she had also purchased for
herself. 1t was also shown that Mr.. Car
penter had made his will some time pre-
vious, which gave to his wife Catharine all
his property, together with property lately
left him, which amounted TO some ten or
twelve thousand dollars.

THE TRIAL OF MARSHAL BAZAINR
VERSAILLES, Oct. 6.
The trial of Marshal Bazaine by court
martial opened at noon to-day. Duke d.
Aumale presided. Among the witnesses
present were Marshals Canrobert and
Lebauf, and Generals Frassard, Bourbaki
and Chaugarnier. When the formalties at
tending the opening of the court had been
completed, a brief recess was taken, after
which, by order of the president, state
mcnt of the public services of Marshal Ba
Zaine was read. 1t comprised the history
of his military career from the beginning,
and recounted the distinction which had
been conferred upon him, and the wounds
he had received.
The report OF the committee of inquiry
on capitulatiou of Metz, was next pre-
sented and read. This was followed by
the reading of an indictment to which the
Marshal listened attentively, but without
emotion. NJ. REVERE then submitted his
report. 1t reviews plans of the campaign
proposed by the defendant, and gives
sketch of the battle of Forbach in which
great stress is laid on Bazines responsibility
for the result because he neglected to go to
General Frossard's assistance. In regard
to Bazaine's conduct at Metz, NJ. REVERE
takes ground that the Marshal was at no
time really DESTROYS of leaving his place.
After hearing Reviere's report court adj

JAlLs.--Thc st. Adams Messenger says
the Rutland county grand jury have de-
clarcd that the Jail is wholly unsuited for
the purpose for which a jail should be
built, without any appropriate means for
the convenience of the prisoners confined
therein, and is quite destitute Of amy avail
able means to promote health where the
male prisoners are crowded together in one
damp room, regardless of age or character,
sickness or health, and the boy of tender
years is shut up with the most abandoned.
We doubt if the Jail in Rutland is worse
than many others in the state, but we hail
as an omen of reform the action of the
grand jury When John W. Stewart was
governor, he recommended legislation on
the subject but the general assembly,
proverbially slow to make innovations"
and not having the fear of imprisonment
before their own eyes, passed his advice
by UNDECIDED.

A Reservoir Breaks AWAY.

NEWARK, n. j., Oct 6.
The bank on the south side of the reser-
voir here gave way Saturday afternoon.
The water wheel which had been placed in
position only few days since was carried
off toward Millbrook. The reservoir bank
at the point where the break occurred was
over thirty feet thick. The walls and
fence have sunk at least three feet. The
damage is estimated at from $4,000 to
$50, 900.
