How Gold In the Assistant Treasury, New
York, Is Kept and Guarded

This structure contains at present $114,-
100000 of the national wealth. The de-
tails may be given thus - $11 100000 in
silver, $130,000,O00 In gold and $23, ,0O0,-
600 In greenbacks. The new silver
vault, which has been In use some
months, will store $4OO,OOO,OOO, and the
present prospects indicate that 1t will
soon be filled. The vault is in the base
ment and is connected by an elevator
with the specie room on the main floor
The silver is placed in bags containing
81 900 each, and the varied issue of coins
are kept separate. Gold is held in bags
containing $4,000, and greenbacks in
packages each of one thousand notes.
In addition to the silver vault there are
two other vaults on the main floor, each
of which is built on the plan of q first
class safe. They contain the gold and
the greenbacks, the lock combination
being held by Mr.. Ashley, the specie
clerk, and Mr.. Britain, the CASHIER
Once month the surveyor of the port
makes an examination of the treasure on
hand, but with this exception it is under
the care of the above mentioned Of
ficials.
At night four men, suitably armed ARE
put on guard and patrol the main floor.
Eight men are engaged in the service,
their tour being alternate nights. Dur
ing the day there are two policemen in
their usual uniform on duty in the hall,
in addition to which two detectives in
watch. One of these (Thomas Simpson,
is an expert of high order of skill, and
hence commands salary of eighteen
hundred dollars year. These detec-
tives often see professional thieves loiter-
ing around, but as the latter all know
Simpson, his presence prevents any at
tempt of crime. The watcbmen re-
ceive $75 per month. They come in at
5 O'Clock in the afternoon lat which
time the detective leaves, and then lock
up and remain until relieved in the
morning). Ia addition to this the treas
ury has lately been put in a condition
of defense against the attack of a mob.
The windows are protected by steel bars
and the inside shutters are perforated
with loopholes. The entire clerical force
is seventy for each of whom musket is
kept in the armory. Such force could
hold large body at bay, but in addi-
tion to this, Gatling guns will be sta
toned on the roof, which will ensure
the safety of the place against popular
violence. The vast institution is under
the general care of Thomas Hillhouse,
Assistant Treasurer. He was bred in
the western part of the State, but has
held his present office for several years.
His salary is $4,000 "a small sum for
one who must give bonds to the amount
of half million. Next in Importance
is Cashier Britain, whose salary is $4,-
COO. The pay here is generally small,
and an immense business is done in a
very economical manner.

An Old soldier Killed.

Wy auuOttc nSrdiu, dS.I
On sunday night, about IL O'Clock, Bryan
Henry was shot by one Mentz. a barkeeper
of Kansas City, Kansas. The shooting oc-
CURED at the corner Of Minnesota avenue
and Third street. We have been unable TO
learn any O; the facts in regard TO the cause
of the assault, except that both parties were
under the influence Of whisky at the time.
Mentz was locked up, and will have his pre-.
lmiminary examination after it is sscer-
tanned what Is the likely result of Henry S
wounds. We understand that Henry was en-.
tireIy unarmed at the time.
Mr.. Henry died at three o'clock on Tues
day morning, and Drs. Wood and Arlington
held post norton. examination, commenc-
at 10 O'Clock and lasting several hours The
examination was very exhaustive and devel-
oped the tact that the bullet entered the body
near the collar bone, passed downward ard
to the left between second and third rib,
through the upper lobe OF right lung, and be-
tween the q fth and sixth rib, cutting branch
OF the pulmonary artery, and passing 10 and
pressing upon spinal cCrd.
Tine deceased was, we believe. a native of
Ireland. He ca me tn Kansas IN 1856 or 1887. In
1861 he enlisted IN the First Kansas, and was
sns e Tor az
battle f-id, but revived and walked all the
way from Springn Id. NO, to Wyandott,
Kan. AT that time Jack Beaton kept the
where he arrived after dark. The country At
that time was full of predatory bands from
both armies, and when he hailed the ferry
man Jack hesitated for some time before
going over for him, but finally he
concluded TO take the risk, and a
pitiabie spectacle met his eyes, for
Henry was emaciated to Almost a skeleton,
his wounds had not been dressed since he
received them. II In . singular coincidence
that at that time Mrs. Halford was keeping
the Garno House and took him in and cared
for him, as she did on sunday night, when
ne had rec iyed his death wound. Bryan
WAS kindhearted and generous TO a fault His
only falling was that he would sometimes
indulge too freely in the flowing bowl, but he
was not disagreea5le or QuarrelsOme, even
when under the influence of liquor. He
leaves a wife and two children and large
circle of warm friencs to mourn his untime-
" death.

THE REGISTRATION.
some Facts for the Voter to Remem-
her.

The city clerk is copying the registration
lists for each ward OF the city. The list is az
ranged alphabetically. When a voter pre-
sents his ticket at the polls the clerk. on
hearing the name. runs his eye over the list,
and II he is found there the vote is received
and the name is erased or some mark put
against II TO show that he has voted. This is
done SO that two votes cannot be cast on the
same name. II the voters name is not on
the list the vote will not te received, and
right here is where bis certificate OF regis
traiion" can be used. Ii the voter nas his cer-
tincate he can vote. even If his name through
a mistas e, has not been entered. III his name
is on the list there will b. DO demand for
the certificate. The list, after being copied
for each ward, Will be compared with the orig
mai list, TO see that there are no omissions.
This Is a job hat will require great care, aid
will test Mr.. Dennis clerical ability. 1t will
be utterly useless for a man TO try TO vote
who has not registered "Repesiing" viii
not take place this year, unless some have
registered more than once, and in more than
one ward. and this could hardly be done
without detection.
