Seizure ola Newspaper.

New ORLEANS, June 22.--I.ast night,
at twelve o'clock, when the forms OF
the Bulletin newspaper were being
conveyed to the press room, they were
seized by the metropolitan police, by
order of Police Judge Macarthur, and
locked up in the central station, where
they still remain. The Bulletin ap-
peared this morning with six printed
and two blank pages, closing column
of editorial under under the caption OF
"Another midnight order--an outrage
on American Liberty-the press to be
bullied and suppressed" The Bulletin
says whether Durell, kellogg, Badgeroi
their underlings be implicated, we can
not as yet say, nut that this bold, auda-
cious and villainous robbery on the
highway, of a newspapers material on
its way to press, was effected simply
because of the Bulletins daring and
outspoken exposure of fraud and cor
ruption.
LATER-.Ipdge Macarthur states posi-
lively, that he did not issue an ordei
for the seizure of the Bulletin's forms
1t now appears that the police actet
under the orders of Badger. The
power behind Badger has not ye'
transpired.

affair at Bennington, last Saturday About
0 o'clock George Houghton, lad aged
eight years, went to the house OF neigh
Dor occupied by widow named Rock
wood, to play with her SOD, lad 10 years
of age. They went up into the garnet
opening from which was a closet in which
shot gun was standing, which was not
krown by them TO be loaded. The Rock
wood boy took the gun down, and while
taking it out the hammer caught against
the casing, dscharging the gun, the con-
tents entering young Houghton's body,
passing through his liver and one lung,
killing him almost instantly, and within
twenty minutes from the time he left home
he was carried back a corpse. The force
of the discharge was so great that Rock
wood was knocked down but not hurt

THE COMING FINANCE BILL.

llit NOMisNt i+'A-N'- mum"
New YORK, June Il.
A Washington special says the new con-
ference committee on the currency bill will
probably go entirely outside of anything
which either house has agreed to during
the discussion, and report n redistribution
bill to withdraw bank notes from states
having more than their proportion. to be
given to states having deficiency.
STILL REMEMBERING THE SOLDIERS.
1t is also probable that the civil service
legislation will result in the repeal of the
law under which commission was ar
pointed, and the adoption of BCt'crs am
enlmcnt, giving soldiers and sailors and
their widows and daughters preference in
the appointments 10 clerkships.
MOTION DENIES THE NEW rAETY STORIES.
Senator Morton is reported to be special
" annoyed at statements that he iavors the
organization Of new party on account of
his failure ocarry out his financial schemes,
and says lie shall continue To act with the

OLD PROBABILITIES HELPING LEalsIArIoN.
1t is suggested that congress may con-
tinuc in session beyond the time fixed for
adjournment. in hopes Of agreeing upon
some financial legislation, and taking some
definite action upon other important bills.

which Old Probabilities says is going tc

favorable to prolongation of the session
