 A DEPRECIATION in the Detroit Savings bank i amounting to nearly S30, GOO. was made pub l lie by the Ereniag Netps, two brothers, Chas. l c. and Herman H. Zeigler, tellers in the bank, having during the ten or twelve years 1 of their service used the above amount or
 the bank funds, covering their shortages at l the regular examinations by temporary
 loans rom friends, and returning tbe latter
 money after the examination. They are of | good family, brothers of the pastor of the | Episcopal church, and have not squandered l the money in riotous living, but rather in l the endeayor to care for too many relatives. An effort has been made to shut the matter l up. It was said that the young men would be retained in the bank and given chance to redeem themselves, their bondsmen secur- ing the deficit. But latter developments re- suited i'll their discharged day two ago
 Much regret IS expressed for the young men | their families ard friends.
 THE death of J. M Smith, cashier of the Bank of Kansas City who was found at the foot of a thirty-foot retaining wall on Bluff street with ribs broken and skull crushed, has caused much excitement Mir. Smith was a man of considerable wealth and was highly respected. There is no longer doubt that the unfortunate man was mur- dered and thrown over the wall. Two families living near heard cries of distress at the time the deed was committed and mo- ment later two men were seen running away from the spot. The scene of the trag edy was on the only street leading to the Union depot, and the time was $50 in the ftfaan !. sr H.. thronged with people. The object of the murder cannot be surmised, as none of the valuables known to have been on Mr Smiths body were taken, and it is not known that he had an enemy.
 A DISPATCH from San Francisco says of the flood which has done so much damage there: Sacramento valley presents the ap- pearance of an inland sea. Numberless houses have been swept away, but forum ately the loss of life, so far reported is very small. The hills high ground and leyees in the overflowed district are covered with live stock and there is great demand for boats to save the cattle, sheep, etc, remain ing, as great number have been drowned It IS raining in the Sierre Nevadas from Plu- mas to Caiaveras counties and as there are immense deposits of snow, should the rain extend high upon the mountains another flood is probable. Should it come on the tcP VI tiiS iiiSdQN ilillHtuSt DDuN Ol NdleT in the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys there IS no telling where the inuendation would end or destruction of property stop, as the water covers places that were never overfiowed before. Marysville reports the leyees so saturated that they can bear but little more and the rivers still rising The levees giving way on the main land to the lower portion of Sacramento river and those around the islands can withstand but little strain Nnthinn lota mento, but private advices report great un- easiness there
 A TUCSON dispatch says: Reliable infor- nation since the 10th is as follows: On the 18th three herders and two miners were killed ill Murchlaride gulch. On the goth two men were killed on the Upper Chrich- Till in fight with band of Apaches On the 22d five Mexicans were killed 20 miles southwest of San Marcial On the 21st a family consisting of man, wife, child and mother-in-law were massacred at Corrizo, b miles west of San Marcial. On the 23d the blackboard was taken between Silver City and San Marcial , miles from San Jose. and the driver killed. A Mexican interpre- ter of the Turlowe's reservation was found dead. Forty Indians have left the reserva- tion. It is generally believed that there are not less than 200 Indians in bands of from ten 70 thirty on the warpath, and that not less that forty people have been murdered by them during the last fifteen days. The military appears to be doing absolutely nothing. Col. Price, an experienced Indian fighter who was in command of the field force in Southeastern Arizona. and had just organized company, was relieved on the 2ith, and Maj. Riddle put in command Good service was expected from Price, as he is well acquainted with the section of New Mexico where the Indians are doing their work.
