Chicago, May 1.-THE Tribune's
New York special says that the Erie
Il, r. Company will be compelled to
default on the June interest unless
the money realized from the sale Of
coal lands, which have already neen
ordered to be mortgaged for half
million dollars. 1t also says that
the order of Judge BIntchforrl, Of
the u. S. District Court, for the sale
at auction of the Northern Pacific
Railroad, was an order from Jay
Cooke and Charlemagne Tower, hold
ers of the first mortgage bonds on the
lands and lnnd-grants and other prop
erty in the several States and Terri
tories in which they are located, to
he sold on the first Monday in An
gust, at the Custom House here.
A dispatch from Springfield Mo-,
says the grasshoppers are devouring
everything green in that section. The
people are panic stricken, and the
cattle and horses are dying by hun
dreds of starvation. They can find
nothing to eat. not even in the woods,
as the hoppers have eaten the buds
and leaves from all the trees. In Min
nesOta investigation was made by
reporter of the st. Paul Press, sent out
for the special purpose, which shows
that so far only portion of four coun-
ties are troubled with the pests, but
HnnOSitS pf aruS nra f,,,,l ~,
sections and serious damage to the
crops is feared.
Reports from portions of Missouri,
Minnesota, Kansas aud Nebraska
state that the grasshoppers are already
devastating the country of every green
thing, and that the farmers are greatly
discouraged. The pests seem to be
very young, at least they are very
small, ranging from the size of a flea
to that of common house fly, but
their destructive powers appear to be
quite as great as those of the full
grown insect.
The raid on the Illicit distillers is
vigorously kept up. An information
to condemn for the non payment of
revenue taxes was filed yesterday by
the U. S. District Attorney against
the Union Copper Distillery, at Calu-
met.
All the distillers at Milwaukee who
were released on giving bonds, by
order of the U. S. Circuit Court, were
to-day suspended, by orders from
Washington, until new bonds can be
issued, the old bonds having been for
feited by the first seizure. The dis
tillers held meeting last night, and
telegraphed to the distillers in Chi
cago, Cincinnati and ST. Louis, asking

POughkeepsie, \. Y, Mny a.
While the engine, attached to the
freight train going to New York City,
was passing through the arch at Sing
Sign state prison, this morning, four
conviets jumped on the engine and
presented revolvers at the engineer
and fireman, compelling them to get
off. They then cut the engine loose
from the train and started southwark,
abandoning the engine three miles
north of Tarrytown, where it was
found with both the cylinder heads
broken.

Business in financial circles this NOR
ming was exceedingly quiet, with little
doing aside from local checking and de-
posting. The banks report fair deposits
and balances well kept up. Currency is
in good supply, with money easy. The
banks discount all unexceptionable ps'
per offering at lO@l2 . cent. y an
mum; on the streets money is active al
'@s . cent. . month. Brokers are pay
ing ll3l@llS! for gold, with light trans
actions. Exchange is steady and IN
god supply: On New York and EAST
ern points buying at par and selling AZ
Ic premium; New Orleans to buying ana
selling at par, THERE'S little or nothing
doing in scrips, bonds or securities OF
any description. Quotations are nomi-
nallv unchanged.
