MrRpER AND ROBBERY, OR Suicide BoS-
ton. March 13.-About $40 O'Clock this
mornin" pistol-shot was heard by the oc-
cupants OF No. 2S4 Harrison avenue, fol-
lowed by groans, and in two or three min
utes another shot. Upon the arrival OF the
officers at the head OF the first flight OF
stairs at No. 2S4, in dark entry lay the
body OF Jacob Herschfeld, man sixty
years Of age, whose place Of business was
another flight up. He had been shot through
the breast on each side, receiving wounds
which caused his death in half an hour.
BY his side lay pistol, and in his mouth,
pushed down his throat as far rs possible,
was 4 handkerchief, twisted hard, upon
which his teeth were SO closely shut as to
render it almost impossible to withdraw IT..
His wallet, empty, was found half way
down the stairs. He had evidently been
robbed by some one who knew OF his habit
OF his coming to his shop early. Hersch-
field is known to have received consldera-
be sam Of money yesterday. Three Poles
who worked in the fourth story, are under
arrest. Some OF the police officials, who
have investigated the circumstances OF
Hcrschield's death, claim that he Killed
himself; but this belief is not general.

WHrTgi SULPHUR SPRINGS, March H.
About II o'clock last night the splendid
new hotel here, the Peytons House, erected
Midsummer, and owned by Messrs. George
L. Peyton & Co., took fire from defective
flue 10 the kitchen and was totally con-
sumed, together with nearly all OF the fur
niture, which was purchased last year; at O
cost OF about $4,000 :.
Fortunately for all who were in the build
ing, the night was calm and not very cold.
The alarm-bell rang ont its summons upon
the still mountain air, and in few moments
the splendid hotel WIS surrounded by q
number Of stout hearts and willing bands.
The fire, however, had made such progress
that 1t was soon found to be useless to at
tempt to save the building, and all efforts
were devoted to bringing out the furniture,
etc., some Of which was saved from the
flames and not injured in being moved.
AsI have already stated, the fire made
rapid progress, and. 1t was greatly feared at
one time that some Of the occupants OF the
hotel had been caught in the burning build
ing, and were unable to make good their
escape. These fears, however, proved to:be
without foundation, although Mr. Fitz (the
depot agent) and his wife, and Mrs. ellis
pie, the housekeeper, lost their entire ward
robe. ...tr.. ,~3aut..'@a .s.ais; ,rI .~..f
The hotel was erected at a cost OF about
$50, 900, and was insured for $25, 900 in Bal
timore companies. The furniture was no
doubt partly insured, as it would be contrary
to the well-known business precaution OF
these popular springs-managers not to hayea
risk upon it. at all events it will in no way
interfere with the comfort OF visitors next
season, for the house had never been used
except during the last few months. 1t was
located Immediately at the depot, fully
quarter OF mile from the main springs
hotel and cottages, and was built and ar
ranged with all the modern improvements,
such as gas, water, &c.
On the first floor Of the hotel was the ex-
press Office, depot Office, reception-room,
baggagc-room, &c. On the second floor was
the kitchen (where the tire originated), par.
lors, and dining-rooms. The other floors
contained bath and lodging-rooms.
The depot agent succeeded in saving his
ticket-cases, but he lost all Of his blank
forms, etc

ylLLE.-PoHsville, March 13.-The German
Banking Company, OF pottsville, suspended

are considerably more than their liabilities.
The Board Of Directors met this evening,
but it Is not known what action was taken
or whether they will resume or go into
liquidation. 1t is believed that the suspen-
sion is mainly due to a feeling OF distrusi
amongst depositors consequent upon the
recent failures OF the Miners Trust and

LEES SwoRD.-The Bangor (oIe.) Wing

Grant the latter declined to take his sword,
and added TO the magnanimity by voluntarily
inserting IN the terms OF capitulation an ex-
emption OF the sde-arms OF (alD the officers,
and their horses and private baggage As
4 matter OF fact, OF which we have had
authoritative information, General Lee came
TO the spo. designated for the meeting Of the
two chieftains wearing splendid testi-
monial sword that had been presented to
him, and doubtless intending that the weap-
on should become the historic emblem OF the
lost cause at the Nationa! Capital. Gem
eral Grant prevented this by gracefully.
waving the surrender Of the sword Of his
vanqaished Zoe, and hastily lpencilling the
terms he demanded, passed the memoran-
dunn TO Lee, who became yisibly affected
with emotion on pereeiving the generosity
with which all the officers or bis command
were to be treated by their conqueror."
