 NEW YORK. December 29,-To-
 morrow's Public will have an article
 showing that Clearing House ex-
 changes at New York for the past
 year were not only much larger than
 ever before but much larger than
 those of London or any city in the
 world The Public says there is one
 moderate sized room in New York,
 in which payments made during the
 past year have greatly exceeded the
 entire amount received and the en- tire amount expended by the U. s. Government from its first establish ment down to this time. The aggre gate receipts of the United States Treasury on all accounts, loans in cluded, have been S18,57O, ,349, ,647; aggregate payments, including all redemption of notes and bonds, have been SIS, ,334, ,S54, ,2O2, but the amount paid in the Clearing House by ex- changes is, alone, since January 1st, 1880. is $38. 644,,224O,5 ,57S, and the bal ances paid during the same time amount to S1 .56l 200, 900. The largest transaction ever known before in a single year were those of 1869, when a third of the exchanges probably was due to speculation in gold. then were $37. .407, OPS, ,9S7 | and balances S11, ,2O3, ,1e3. The largest transactions ever made in any one year through the London Clear ing House were e6,015,299, ,O0O in the year 1874 and 1875, equal to $50, ,O66,- 405, 900. hence payments made in 1880 in the room where MT Camp | has charge are the largest ever made in any year in any establishment on earth. Exchanges in all other cities in this country during the year will be not far from e12, ,265, ,O00.OO0 or less than one-third of those of New York.

When ready to ,eave for Bren-

him and he was seen coming
from the residence of the belle.
He had no time to interview
Smith nor any one else. His
report was written at random.
Had he stayed here till Friday
night and attended the ball, he
would probably have seen corn
twenty feet high and cotton
ten feet high: The upshot

On Monday Mr.. F. L. Ran
die had an examination before
justice Wyatt, at Washington.
1t appeared from the evidence
that at the race track on Friday
last difficulty occurred be-
tween Mr.. FL. Randle and Jcs-
Sc Muse, that by mutual agree
ment both drew their pistols
and went TO shooting at each
other; there was a good many
persons on the ground and as
soon as the firing began there
was a general scattering in cv-
cry direction, a number of shots
being exchanged; during the
firing young Russ was shot and
killed, but there was not a par
ticle of evidence to show wheth-
er the fatal shot was fired by
Randle or Muse. Jesse Muse
was wounded just above the
knee, but as yet the doctors
have been unable to find the
ball. Justice Wyatt held Mr..
Randle in a bond OF $500 which
waspromptly given.

AT meeting of the board O.
Chiefs and officers Of compan,
les composing the city fire de-
partment, held at the opera
house, on Monday evening, the
action Of the committee appoin-
ted at a previous meeting to
make the necessary arrange
rlents to secure an increased
supply Of water for the benefit
of the department, was endors-
ed. A large wind mill has been
purchased, with the necessary
quantity of piping, and is now
en- route for this place. The
tower that supports the mill
will be erected near the city
well, on Douglas street; the
conducting pipes will be laid
under ground from the mill to
a large tank to he constructed
in the courthouse enclosure,
which will be kept filled with
water. From this tank the fire
cisterns in the various parts of
town will be filled by conduct
ing pipes, thus securing at all
times an ample supply Of water,
rendering the fire department
more effective in time of con-
flagrations. The cost is esti-
at something less than
$1,000; five hundred of which is
collected and in the
hands of the chief, being the
proceeds Of the monthly sub
'criptions paid by our citizens
or the benft of the department.

Hotel Lighted by Electricity.

From the Philadelphia Ledger, June !.
On Saturday evening the
main hall, dining-room, office
and bar-room of the Continen
tai Hotel were brilliantly illum-
mated with the Brush Electric
Light, six burners being used,
each, it is stated, costing one
cent an hour. In the dining
room, where heretofore I44 gas
burners bave been used, there
will be in future two electric
lights. The electro-dynamic
machine is run by the steam en-
CINE which moves the elevator
and the Jesse of the hotel be
lieves that the saving in the cost
of lighting will be very great.
In some years, when the city
gas was used, the bills ran as
high as S2I,o for twelve
months. 1t was noticeable on
Saturday that the lights burned
steadily, with no perceptible
flicker. This light is only adap-
ted for large rooms, or halls,
and will not be used in the
sleeping rooms at the CONT

ton with a good stock Of mer-
chandise, none OF which was saw
ed. The buildings were, OF
course, totally consumed, the
loss on buildings and goods is
roughly estimated at $1,000,
but was perhaps more. DR..
Clarke was insured but for what
amount our informant was I'M
