THE SITUATION IN WASHINGTON
DeposisOrs I'm the Suspended Banks.
Charitable Institutions Affected.


The doors of the First National and Jay
Cooke 81 Co.'s banks still remain closed. Ex-
Governor Cooke has returned from Philadel-
phia, and ii is probable a statement of the con-
dition of the latter bank will be made soon.
THE FUNDS OF THE BOYS REFORM SCHOOL.
By the suspension of these banks it is feared
that the funds of some of our prominent chart
table institutions are affected. 1t appears that
Governor Cooke acted as trustee and treasurer
Of the Boys Reform School, and in fduciary
capacity held upwards of $4,000 Of the funds
of that institution. A meeting Of the building
committee was held in the office of Edward
Clarke, architect Of the Capitol extension, this
morning, Prior to the session a reporter Of The

Wife-Murder and Suicide.

JEALOUSY THE CAUSE.
ALLENTowN, PA, Sept. 24.-Thomas Il.
Parker, aged ~, shot his wife this morning and
then blew his own brains out, killing himself
instantly. His wife's wound Is very serious, the
ball entering near the right eve. The tragedy
is attributed to jealousy. The parties lived in
hingsessing, a suburb OF this city. Parker, the
actor IN the tragedy, was formerly a member of
a large iron establishment near MOOrestOwn,
New Jersey, and retired recently, having ac-
Quired a large fortune. He was Of a yery
jealous disposition, and to this is assigned the
cause OF the tragedy. The parties moved in the
highest circles, and lived in an elegant villa.
The affair creates great excitement in an circles
The wife was much younger than the husband.
She still survives, but her wounds are believed
10 be mortal.

Of the Erenir'g Star.


The citizens of San Antonio-Americans
Germans, Mexicans, colored-all surpassed
themselves yesterday by voting $500, 900 subsidy
for a railroad to Columbus, which means to
Galveston. The $500, 900 is in bonds bearing
per cent. interest, the capital TO be paid in 80
years. The road, about 1870 miles in length, il
to be completed in Is months-mOst likely 1t
will be built in year, aud then San Antonio
will start on new career. Its internal com
merce and traffic with Mexico is considerable,
and a railroad will increase 1t tenfold. The
fertile land will naturally also rise in value as
emigration and the influx of capital are insepa-
rable from railroad communication. One rail-
road line will beget others, and the whistle OF
the locomotive must soon be heard from here to
the Rio Grande, TO the no small inconvenience
of the lndio- Mexican horse and cattle thieves
In short, our p0lygl0t citizens did nobly and
despite the rainy weather came out en- iaasse
voting briskly, "aye" A few barrels of whisky
distributed gratis by the city authorities greatly
served to bring out those who otherwise might
have preferred to remain doing at home, and
the free hacks placed at the disposal of the voters
also did noble work. twas grand sight to see
our cOlored and Mexican citizens carried about
to the polls. Never before have seen SO many
bare footed patriots riding in hacks to discharge
their civic duties. The railroad will probably
create greater demand for boots, and the
bare footed system to which even the young
lads of our aristocratic families adhere, Is sure
to undergo a change.

little Haussmann would Else, not to build Boule-
wards, but TO knock out one side OF our princi-
pal streets. In walking along the street on the
sO-called sidewalk, a fellow has to look out
pretty sharp and keep his elbows close to his ribs
If he does not want to come in contact with an

with its 1900 inhabitants is rather a pretty
place; in fact the two streams, San Pedro and
San Antonio meandering through the town
make it romantic, but the streets and houses
appear to have come into existence and to multi
ply by a most mischieyous kind of "natural
selection" 1t is high time to introduce some
system SO as to be more prepared for the visi-
tors which the railroad is sure to bring
railroad interests, it will be enough to say that
the people forget for the time even the election
business, though the candidates of both parties
and their friends are terribly in earnest
