i. 10 oeHeVeu the murder
was committed by tramps, who were in
formed that Schultz carried large sum
OF money On his person, and had con
cealed In his house fifty thousand dol
lars, and was IL the habi. of having
large sums so concealed, in preference
TO the safety of the bank vaults. The
murder was committed near his resi-
dence, and his servant, William Buck-
nalz, was also attacked at the time.
Inc murdered mans head was cut open
with Ratchet, and small wound, ap-
parently made with knife, was found
under the left ear. Great excitement
prevails.
RESUMPTION day was without notable
features IN any of the great business
circles. A new York dispatch of Jan.
Ind said that Of the $4,000 received at
the custom house up to noon in pay
ment of duties, the bulk was greenbacks.
and at the suh-treasury up to
that hour only $4,000 in
legal tenders had been exchanged for
gold. Treasurer Hill says the house
was prepared to meet the probable
rush for gold, but the demand was
very light, while in many instances
greenbacks were preferred. The
first demand was for 500, but not
another dollar in gold was paid out
for half hour. Within that time
there were half dozen applicants for
sums of less than fifty dollars, but as no
payments are made under that amount,
they were refused. National bank bills
we're also offered, but were not taken,
only legal tenders being exchangeable.
PREPARATIONS for the inauguration of
direct steamship line between Balti-
more and Barrow, on the coast
of England, are nearly completed.
A half-dozen iron steamships are
being built on the Clyde, and
will be fitted up especially with
view to the prosecution of the cattle
export trade. Each steamer, it is I'M
derstood, will have a transporting Ca
pacity for 1900 head OF cattle. In
anticipation of this new line the
BALTIMORE & Ohio Railroad COM
pany contemplate the erection Of
the extensive stock-yards which
have been projected for several years.
The new limo is also intended to devel-
op the exporting trade in horses. 1t has
been found, especially since the open
ing-up Of the horse railways
throughout the large cities of Europe,
that Am erican horses can be exported
and sold lower than British animals,
and blue grass Kentucky stock espe-
cially have been found adapted to ev-
cry purpose.
REFERRING to the Breathitt county
troubles, the Co1uier-Jo rndl cores
pendent at Camp Taylor Dec. Both, says;
The action of Judge Randall in
arresting all the ringleaders in the
Gambrell and Little side has created
CONSERVATION and dismay among those
who have been concerned IN the late
difficulties, and Breathitt county to-day
is the most peaceful in the state. None
of the ringleaders of the Strong
party have made their appearance, but
their friends still say they will be
in before long. Judge Linden told me
yesterday that Wallace Mcclure, the
man who is reported to have
killed Tom Little, would be
here during court, ready to
answer any charge that may be prefer
red against MIN. This morning Brock
Combs, son of Jailer Comb, was sar-
rested and placed in Jail, charged
with being implicated in the MUIR
der of Judge Burnett. This makes
five of the Little party
who are now closely confined. John
Altman is yet at large, and if he do es
not desire to give himself up, it is ex-
tremely doubtful whether they will be
able to find him.
A New YORK telegram OF Dec 2Sth
says: The Importers and Traders bank
messenger, while on his way to the
clearing house, between 1890 and l
o'clock this afternoon, lost pocket
book which contained the exchange
with the clearing house. The particu-
lars, as narrated by Mr.. Perkins, cash
Ter, are, that the regular messenger
being absent, this man, who has been
in the employ of the bank for twelve
years, was called upon to carry the ex-
changes to the clearing house,
corner of Pine and Nassau street.
He put the pocket book under his coat,
but not in the inside coat pocket, and
left the bank accompanied by spe-
cial officer of that institution. The
messenger states that he felt the
package as he was passing the
Aston house. but when he
got to the clearing house it was gone.
The officers story corroborated that of
the messenger, and he further states
that he saw no suspicious person near.
