A Cashiers Peril.

John A. Miller, of Dayton, who
has just arrived in Chico from
Greenville, Plumas County, fur
nishes the particulars of the sudden
suspension last Friday of the bank
ing house at that place of E. Prov
haitian 81 Co. This bank was but a
private affair, and was started few
years ago by couple of young men
having only about $1,000 apiece.
Their establishment at first con-
tanned nothing but a little iron safe,
and was known as the ''shaving
shop" But by wise investments
they increased their capital to good
size, and were considered perfectly
safe. Their principal business was
TO advance money to miners upon
time orders from the mine owners.
These transactions paid them well,
as they "shaYed Off as much of the
paper as suited themselves. They
advanced money On real estate; re-
celyed the earnings of the miners
for safe-keeping, and built up a
splendid business. But they
finally became reckless, and all
neighboring banks were warned
not to have anything to do with
the firm of ProWhattan s. Co. On
Friday of last week young Prov
haitian, who acted as cashier, dis
posed in some mysterious manner
of all the coin in the bank and
started to leave the country. He
was arrested by constable and put
in Jail for safe-keeping, but no coin
could be found. The miners who
had trusted their hard-earned wages
with ProWhattan soon became
aware Of what had taken place, and
naturally became incensed. They
gathered in a mob and marched to
the jail, where they demanded that
the cashier be turned over to them.
The officer, in order to save the
prisoners life, opened rear door
of the Jail and allowed him to
escape. When ProWhattan left the
jail he was in his shirt sleeves, and
was otherwise thinly clad. He will
have desperate time in the noun
tains, as the snow lies on the ground
to a considerable depth. The mad
dened miners started in pursuit of
young Prowhattan and will I'M
doubteGly hang him up to a tree if
he is caught. The authorities over
the country have been given a
description of the man and asked 10
keep a sharp watch for him.

Of capturing the nitrate fields Of South
America - . means q pefsonal gain.
These fields are now held under the In
demnity claim Of Chill against Peru,
and have been the subject Of much dip
lomatic correspondence between the
State Department and the countries
named. A fellow named Shipherd was
working up the scheme. Among the
persons named AZ being in the sypdi-
cate was 4 ugust Belmont, and his son,
now a member Of Congress from New
York City, promptly introdu ed . reso-
luton of investigation. The investiga-
ton merely elected the fact that Ship
herd was cheeky adventurer, who hal
approached q large number Of persons
to induce their cooperation In the
scheme, but did not show that In sim
gle instance ne had been successful. His
efforts to hamper with the State Depart
n'ent were equally unsuccessful. A
New York dispatch Of the 2Oth says:
The list of names contained in the Pc
ruvian correspondence was received in
Washington with indifference. The
Tribune correspondent shows that at no
time has the State Department given
Shlpherd the least encouragement,
Blaine having once even threatened to
begin criminal proceedings against him
for attempting to brile General Hurl-
but. Inquiry in this city reveals the
fact that in nearly every instance Ship
herds use Of the names Of prominent
men was without authority.
The first rumOrs of this scandal
seemed to cast suspicion upon ex-Secre-
tary Blaine, for the reason that he had
been conspicuous advocate Of the poll
~ Of Resistance to the demands Of Chilli
for the dis,ncmbernent Of Peru: but
this eminent statesman will emerge
from this temporary cloud stronger than
ever with the American people. The
Monroe doctrine is one Ut the tilAc-l,On-

The trial Of Sergeant Mason for the
attempted assassination Of Guiteau,
commenced in Washington on the 9th.
Daily Republican., 1882-04-04
Hsulsu Agatn Victorious.

LONDON, April 3-The boat race be-
tween Hanlan and Boyd, on the Tyne,
at Newcastle, took place this afternoon,
and Hanlau won by seven lengths.
Boyd won the toss for position, and
chose the north side of the river. At
the start, which was a splendid one,
Hanlan led slightly. At RedheuRh
Bridge, four and half furlongs from
the starting point, Hanlan had ir creased
his lead to one and half boat lengths.
The length of the course is about three
miles, three and halffurlongs.
Boyd at the outset, raised the hopes
of his supporters, but Hanlan, gather.
ing himself together, with one effort
placed himself first after fifty yards
had been rowed. He maintained the
lead from one to four lengths through
out the race, occasionally playing with
Boyd, and won by seven lengths In Il
minutes 6 seconds. Hanlan made the
first mile 3 minutes in AZ seconds, the
fastest time on record on the Tyne.
The Canadian was in magnificent
form, scullilg easily and well, pulling
more than % strokes minute ahd win
ming easily. Boyd was in evident trou
Bile, pulling a very bad course above the
bridge. 1t was quite certain that thu
Canadian could play with Boyd, and
he soon began hi, old tricks, such al
playing with his oars, every now anc
thon stopping dead for several seconds
Boyd struggled gamely on, doing hi
best, but quite inetf tu.lly.
Hanlan stopped and disrorted him
self, bat directly Boyd got any wher'
