STRANGE SUICIDE.

The Body OF A Bank President Found Near
the Douglas Monument.
Chicago, Nov. 1i.-The body of VIM.
f. Coolbaugh, President of the Union
National Bank of this city was found
on the steps of the Douglas monument,
about q O'Clock this morning. A re-
volver with Mr.. Coolbaugh's name on
it was lying near him. The sad event
was induced by matters outside of
bank affairs, rs shown by Il statement
made this morning by Bank examiner
Watson, that he, on last night, con-
cluded his semi-annual examination of
the Union National and that his report
to the Comptroller of the Currency will
show not only solvent bank, but a
condition of unusually large cash
means. lie adds "whatever were Mr..
COolbGugh's troubles, neither the COIL
dition of his bank nor his relations to
it had any connection with them.''
The officers of the bank have issued
the following circular to their cores
pondents: "W. +. Coolbaugh, late
President of the Union National Bank,
committed suicide this morning. The
act was not caused by financial trouble,
either of his own or this bank. The
bank is not only solvent but specially
strong and sound, and its business will

NEW YORK.
The Herald on Conklipg.


New York, Nov. 14.-RespOnding to
Senator Conkling's personal explana-
tion in the Senate in regard to the Her
aid interview, that paper agrees with
the Senator that it was not what is
generally called an interview, but says
it was written from memory after a
conversation with the Senator. Conk-
ling does not recollect that which the
reporter ascribes to him, but the re-
porter aflirms that his memory is bet
ter in that particular than Conkling's.
AS Conkling does not select any partic-
ular statement for denial, it is needless
to say more until he chooses to be spe-
cilic.
The Times, on the same subject,
says: "There is story told of man
who shot Mt an animal in the under
brush, so as to hit it if it was deer and
miss it if it were cow. Conkling
missed fire, and says it was cow. AS
his so-called interview has raised q
breeze, he has not had an interview
for publication for months; possibly if
the interview had been well received
he would have said of it as he did of
his Rochester performance, that he had
nothing to take back, nothing to be
sorry for.''
The Times suggets but one way out of
Conkling's dilemma, and that is for
him to publish an edition of the con-
versation revised and corrected by
himself. 1t especially suggests the in
quiry whethersshe denies referring to
Little Evarts and Little Roberts.

THE Earl of Baconsfield (Disraeli),
Premier of Great Britain, has again
spoken, and reiterated the declaration
that British neutrality must cease the
moment British interests are endan-
gered. 1t is evident that so long as
the ''sick man" is able to hold his own
against Russia, Disraeli will refrain
from urging the interference of his
Government in the struggle between
the Muscovite and Moslem. In fact
the willy statesman would be willing
to sacrifice all the strength and power
of Turkey, if needed, to so cripple the
Colossus Of the North that his giant
strides toward India and his policy of
Asiatic territorial aggrandizement
should be so completely arrested that
years should elapse before he would
again be able TO jeopardize so-called
British interests in India.

SHIPPERS will be interested in the
fact that half dozen carloads of cat
tie have been seized at point on the
Chicago and Alton road about one
hundred and fifty miles from Chicago,
on account of the owners violation of
the United States law requiring rest,
feed, and water after twenty EIGHT
hours confinement of animals in cars.
The shipper in this case was notified
by the officers Of the company that
the legal limit had been exceeded, and
as he neglected to remove the cattle,
the matter was reported to the United
States marshal and the seizure was
made in accordance with the law. An
example or two of this kind will pro-
bably suffice to insure proper treatment
OF animals in transit. The law will not
often be forgotten if it is known that
forgetfulness will incur penalty Of
four or five Thousand dollars.

S. ID. Porter has discovered upon Il
tributary to Spruce gulch, an old drift,
ten or twelve feet deep, which, judging
from blazed tree standing at the
mouth of the drift, and whose age can
be clearly determined by its circles,
was made in 1865. A blazed trail leads
up from Spruce gulch and was proba-
bly, made the same year, adding one
more to the many indications that the
Hills were visited by adventurous min
ers years ago. Deadwood Times.

Damage by the Big Blaze

bJ IiC Dlk
st. Louis, Nov. 14.-The fire opposite
the Planters House was confined to
the building in which it originated.
The building was occupied by NJ. J..
Steinberg's hat and fur store. His
stock was said to he worth from SEQ, 600
to $4,000. The insurance cannot be
ascertained. In the rear of Steinberg's
was John BOnnet's restaurant; loss un-
known; insured for $4,000. The upper
floors were occupied by the st. Louis
bank note engraving company, lawyers
offices and lodging rooms, the loss on
which cannot even be approXimated.
The building was owned by Mrs. Ann
G. Hunt, nee Lucas, and cost about
$50, 900; insurance not known. The
Chamber of Commerce building es-
capped with damage only to some twen-
ty panes of plate glass. The building
destroyed was insured for $4,000.

AN Inter-ocean letter from Atlanta,

AN Inter-Ocean letter from Atlanta,
Ca, states that, during President
Hayes recent visit to that city, the
man who was most active in the recep-
ton of the Presidential party was o.
H. Jones, who, when his rebel COM
mand had captured squad of eight
Union men, hung them to one pole,
and the rope of the Union leader,
Adams, being so long that his feet
touched the ground, Jones got a spade
and with his own hands dug from be-
meath Adams the earth until he choked
to death. The letter also asserts that
Jones is one of the most abandoned of
men, and that he was apparently put
forward to do the honors Of the occa-
sion and escort Mrs. Hayes to the plat
form out of disrespect to the party.

hear more distinctly what was said
about him, and made several attempts
to interpose a remark, but was not per-
mitted to do so, as he himself gave no.
tice yesterday that he would not allow
any interruptions.
FELTON, went en- with his denuncia-
tion of capitalists. Addressing himself
directly to Chittenden, who was stand
ing in one Of the aisles on the Demo-
cratic side, he said: "And yet you un-
dertake to comfort the country by tell
ing it that all these things will right
themselves. Yes, l know that these
things will right themselves when they
have touched the bottomless pit of des-
pair and poverty. Look yonder at that
storm-driven ocean. Hurricane and
darkness are upon the deep; the signal
guns are firing every minute; ships are
going down by the hundred; thousands
of precious lives are being engulfed;
and in the midst of all the ruins, there"
pointing over to Chittenden-"st stands
the wrecker, waiting for spoils and as
surfing those in peril of destruction that
all these things will right themselves"
Chittenden, still standing in the
chamber, asked minute to reply to
FELTON,.
Douglass-'No, not half minute to
the wrecker."
Tucker proposed jocularly to have
recess of five minutes until some resto-
ratives could be applied to the corpse
of New York-meaning Chittenden.
Hardenbergh, who was entitled to
the floor, yielded five minutes of his
time to Chittenden.
Chittenden, speaking from his own
seat, said:
81 will not return the argument.
There is no man who knows my life
who does not know that when went
to that unusual place'-the clerks
desk-''to speak yesterday, l went
there to speak the truth accordingly as
l understand it. The gentlema has re-
ferred to me as n capitalist, owning
government bonds, and as inter-
ested in this matter. 1t is more than
eight years since L have been able to
hold or own government bond. AL
though spoke yesterday Of national
banks, l parted with the last share of
stock 1 owned in national bank five
years ago, l do not make this state
ment to conciliate anybody, but 1 make
it to explode and expose to the world
that idea. The question before the
House is before the world. 1t is Il
question now whether the credit, and
honor, and integrity of the American
people shall he sunk into bottomless
pit. 1 therefore say that any man who
aims blows at me as holder of govern
ment securities is wide of the mark.
After further debate the matter went
over without action and the House ad-
jolirncd.
