Boston, that plumed itself so many years on
its financial immaculacy, Is In sackcloth over
the failure of two of Its largest and most trust
ed banks. The one is the Central National,
and the other the Pacific National. The lat
ter had been dabbling to dangerous exten,
IN Pacific Mining stocks, and the cashier OF
the other had been trying to tide it over its
heavy losses. The result is that both have
gone 10 the wall, though the Central on &C
count OF its high credit, after dismissing its
faithless cashier, and making heavy assess
ment on its stockholders, was able to get on its
feet again and resume business.

else to son inlaw. The impression seems to
have been that the old man had considerable
money IN his house, which doubtless was the
cause Of his murder, done apparently IN broad
daylight with an axe that lay covered with
blood by his side when found. 1t Is certain,
however, that the man had but a few dollars
IN the house at the time, as the bulk of his
money was on deposit IN bank at Wheaton.
No clue 10 the murderer.

Near Spearyille, Kansas, on Friday night,
five armed and disguised men boarded the
Santa ne tram coming east. A brakeman
walked through the coaches and warned the
passengers to hide their valuables, creating
wild excitement. 1t was arranged that aid to
capture the thieves should be obtained from a
wTecking train on the side track at Spearville,
bot while the car was being boarded on one
side the robbers sprang off the other and es
capped but without any plumber.

Faster Eastern and Western
Mails,

New York, 14.-Postmaster Gen.
eral James being interviewed, this
afternoon, said !: 1 have not yet
completed arrangements for the
new schedule of mails, but mean to
remain here until / do. l hope,
however, to leave on the 8 80 train
tomorrow afternoon. What we are
trying to do is to save time on the
mails to the west, and also to ar
range a through time table to San
Francisco, so that a man in that
city can answer a letter from this
city on the same day he receives it.
AT present the train from this city
arrives in San Francisco at II :35 a.
M, and the through train for the
east leaves at 80. L hope to make
arrangements to have the train from
the east arrive at about an hour or
an hour and a half earlier, and the
train to the east leave about two
hours later, and make up these two
hours in the run to this city.
Acting Postmaster General Hat
ton authorizes the ruling that no
supplement containing any adver-
tisements whatever, can be allowed
in the mails at second class rates,
unless the publisher makes affidavit
that the same rates are paid for ad-
yertisements in the supplement as
for those in the body of the paper
itself.

Secretary Paddock.

Omaha, 1.-THE appointment Of
ex-United States Senator Paddock,
of Nebraska, to the first assistant
secretary Of the treasury, will no
doubt create some little surprise in
Nebraska as it was not generally
known that Mr.. Paddock was seek
ing any office. His appointment
will give quite general satisfaction,
particularly among stalwarts, and
it is believed that men, who have
been and are now opposed to him,
politically, will not raise any objec-
tons, but on the contrary, rejoice
that he has got a position which
may be regarded as complimentary
to Nebraska. Lately he has not
figured much, if at all, in Nebraska
politics, but it was supposed, of
course, that he was waiting for
something to turn up. His appoint
ment, however, will be taken as an
indication Of the political character
of the men who are to receive
offices 10 Nebraska under the new
administration.

UNSUITABLE HOMICIDE.

A month ago, the stockholders ef the
Nevada and Oregon Railroad met at
Reno, for the purpose of electing new
Directors. There were two parties,
each intent on securing control of the
offices and affairs of the company
The rival factions resorted to force to
attain their object. A general row
ensued, in which pistols were freely
used, and two men were wounded
One of those, S. c. Scoville, died from
the effect of his wounds, and the other,
ID. w. Balch, is in fair way to re-
cover. The belligerents were examined
being ably represented by counsel, and,
after an investigation which lasted two
or three weeks, one man, James Me-
Mechan, was held to answer for man
slaughter. The Grand Jury, being in
session, considered the case of Meme
chan, and promptly dismissed the
charge against. him. The Jury, in its
final report, will probably censure the
Justice for holding him to answer, as
the evidence indicated that Scoville,
who was killed, and Balch, who was
seriously wounded, were the only per-
sons who fired a shot at the fatal meet
ing. The Jury has actually decided
that no person was to blame for turn
ing meeting called for the transaction
of important business into a regular
battle, in which shots were exchanged
between the opposing forces, and one
man was killed and others seriously
wounded.

READJUSTED REPUBLICANS.

Under the regulations adopted by the
Readjusted Republican party, ex-Con-
federate e-seekers, like Confederate
bonds, are in demand. Wilson, a one
armed Union soldier and an old-tine
straight Republican, has been removed
from the office of postmaster at Lynch
burg, Virginia, to make room for an ex-
Confederate. The change was made at
the request of Malone, who comprises
the constitutional majority of the
United States Senate, to influence the
election which takes place next Tuesday
in Virginia. Those Readjusted Repub-
licans, as the Virginia repudiationsts
and ex-rebels who follow Malone are
called, have everything their own way
in the disposition of Federal Offices in
the Old Dominion. The employees at
the Norfold Navy-yard, the internal
revenue collectors and clerks, the GUS
tom house officers and the postmasters
throughout the State are assessed to
raise money to carry the State for the
Readiusters. Commissioner Raum,
who year ago discharged a subordinate
for supporting the Readjuster ticket,
has left his office at Washington, and is
now on the stump, advocating the cleo
ton of the Malone ticket. A few
years ago it was treason, from Re-
publican standpoint, to even admit that
an ex-rebel had any rights that loyal
citizen was bound to respect but now,
that the Republican party has been re-
adjusted, it. is considered reasonable
for loyal citizen to intimate that ex-
Confederates of the Malone stripe are
not more deserving of Federal offices in
Virginia than one-armed Union soldiers.
