ing the famous Tweed charter, by which the
ring was enabled to plumber the taxpayers of
New York city.
George W. Jewett and Orville ID. Jewett,
uncle and nephew. were partners in the white
lead manufacturing business in New York city.
The junior member Of the firm neglecting his
business, the senior insisted upon his with
drawal. He consented to do so, and was
to receive 100000 for his interest.
The partners met in the Office of the
firm for the purpose of concentrating
the agreement. Young Jewett, probably crazed
with liquor, went armed with hand grenade,
pistol and dirk. Angry words passed, he
threw the grenade on the floor, and frightful
explosion followed killing the uncle and ter
riby mutilating the nephew, and injuring two
clerks. Young Jewett then attempted TO end
his life by shooting himself through the head,
but his aim was bad.
A fire at Lynn, Mass, last week, destroyed

The Vanderbilt disturbance has again broken
out, the irrepressible Cornelius J. demanding a
dividend Of two millions from the old Commo-
dore's estate, while his brother William H., the
lucky legatee, is unwilling to pay more than
one million. A sister, Mrs. La Ftte, also re-
fuses to make any settlement until Cornelius is
satisfied.
The report on the investigation on silk inn
portations at New York proves the existence of
smuggling ring which has conducted its
operations on the most extended scale. From
the Investigations it appears that the Govern
ment is swindled at an average Of about 80 per
cent. of the duties, and that on an aggregate
annual importation of about S40,OO0,00O the
amount Of duties withheld fraudulently ranges
from $4,000, 900 to 15,0OO,OO0.

the city and five members of the Council called

also presented statement of the financial con-
dition of the city, the rates of taxation, etc.

information to the commission respecting the
situation in their several localities, urging their
opinions on the commission. -

GIN, of New Hampshire, sx-Representative Co
burn, of Indiana, and ex-Gov. Stearns. of
Florida, to take charge of the Arkansas Hot
Springs property, and make satisfactory ar
engagements with the squatters thereon. This
will terminate in quarter of century of
litigation and quarreling over the Hot Springs
property.
The circumstances attending the fight Of
William NJ. Tweed, the great New York ring
thief, have just been given to the public for the
first time through the medium of Havper's
Weekly. Tweed, it appears, according to the
narrative was taken from his house by band
Of thieves and concealed for several months al
their rendezvous in New Jersey, within a few
miles of New York city, He also passed con-
siderable time in Florida lighthouse, dis
guised as an invalid in search of health. He
next soiourned in the everglades of Florida in
the guise of fisherman. From there he sailed
to Cuba, and thence TO Spain, where he was ar
rested.

A MurderOus Tramp.

Two men were recently killed near
Georgetown, Ky, by fellow named j.
T. Morrison, who shot them through the
head. All three were trsmps. Morrison
says they commenced fussing on politics
as they went along, and continued to
quarrel until they got within five miles
of Georgetown, where they all stopped
at haystack and laid down to sleep.
After having been there two or three
hours Morrison started to leave, when
John Donohue, the youngest of the muir
dered men, got up to stop him (Morri-
SOM, exclaiming that he (Morrison) had
to stay there with them Morrison says
at that he pulled out a fve-barreled
Smith & Wesson and shot Donohue. He
thought the old man was getting up to
take up the quarrel and therefore killed
him, too, shooting both through the
head. After the two men were killed he
stripped them of their clothes, taking
coats, pants and boots. But he says he
got no money. He then put them under
the haystack, covering them well with
straw. 1t would never have been dis
covered had it not been for negro who
happened to be passing and saw an old
glove lying near the haystack

Life Insurance.

A Kentucky jury has found verdict
for an insurance company, certainly a
rare occurrence. In July, 1875, defal-
cation of SO, 600 was discovered III the Of
fee of the United States Collector of
Louisville. George n. Jackson, cashier,
was suspected, and, on learning this,
died suddenly. An examination by chem
lists showed that quantity of arsenic
was secreted in his stomach. This anal
ysis was brought about by the Mound
City Life Insurance Company OF st
Louis, and, upon the alleged fact that
the deceased committed suicide, they re-
fused to pay policy of 100000 Jack
sons widow sued, but lost the case as
stated. An unusual degree of interest at
tended the trial of the suit.

expenses, and dividends, and interest on
deposits. Now all these charges fall
upon the user Of the banks money,
and il that user or borrower hap
pens to 10 manufacturer his
wares must necessarily 60 into market

than his neighbors, across the river, just
according TO whether he pays a higher
or lower rate OF interest than his neigh.
Dor, over the way. This may look
theoretic to some Of our Ohio legislators
from the farming districts, or to our
Belmont county bank stock APP
praisers, but II has IN inkling Of solid
Tact to the manufacturer whose business
requires n large loan and the additional
discount Of all the bills drawn against
shipments. No truth Is palmer to com.
mon intelligence than that the interest
paid for money used in productive in.
dustries adds Just 20 much more to the
cost OF production, and 1t Is time, too,
that people would soon demand equal tax.
alton for all II once they could be made
aware that taxes levied on banks in ex.
cess Of those charged on other property
must Of necessity DO again levied by the
banks upon their customers until finally
the burden falls upon the laboring and
poorer classes.
To conclude, / wish 10 add that the
New York Assembly has Just been per.
suaded, within the past week, into taking
more enlightened view Of the bank-tax
question, and has passed u law allowing
bank TO hold a surplus untaxed equal
TO % per cent OF its capital. Our own
Legislature, too, during the past winter,
enacted law under which the incorpor.
ated banks Of the State will be appraised
shortly, but the old term, true value in
money" is still insisted upon. It Ia left,
however, TO County Auditors and Boards
Of Equalization TO determine Just what
the English OF "true value in money" is,
that is, whether bank stock has more true
inwardness in the way Of money value
than iirst.class real estate, which practi.
cally, in some places, resembles indians
