K URBANA, o., September 25.-John Eich-
oltz, whose death was mentioned day or
two since, as an unusually eccentric man.
Ele came 10 Ohio about the year 1890, from
Pennsylvania, and his earthly inheritance
consisted OF two half dollars, which was
oil that his father bequeathed 10 him in his
will-virtually cutting him oil. But John
came TO Ohio, and vowed that he would
yet be the richest Eicholtz living, and by
indonita bic Industry and the closest econ.
omy he succeeded In accomplishing his
desire, and amassed fortune OF probably
SlO0, 1000. lie has kept his family in
the most misery manner, and they
have barely had what was necessary for
their wants. The place is q regular Curl
osity shop, and bis bouse in which be
lived was used for dwelling, granary, and
sort OF a general wareroonl. There was
not an inch Of carpet in the whole house.
He has grain on hand that has been stored
away for twenty years or more, and much
oil il is perfectly useless; many OF the
decayed, and il touched will fall TO
pieces. He has made but one
sale Of wheat since the 8. war,
and that WIS several thousand bushels,
which brought him several thousands Of
dollars. There is now stored around his
barn thousands and Thousands Of bushels,
which he was holding for a rise" Thisse
son he predicted general failure Of the
wheat crop in the Northwest, and conse-
quenuy expected bigprices. With this belief
lie refused to have any grain planted on
his farm, giving as reason that he would
need all bis teams to haul his present stock
Of grain to the market, and did not want
to be bothered with looking after his crops
in the field, but his prediction proved bad
failure: His family IS said to be very sad
over his death, and now claim that they
will live as other people do.

About the same hour another accident
occurred outside Of the building by which
two persons were seriously hurt. A large
crowd had gathered to see a display Of Ere

At the tmo Of the failure Of tho First
National Bank in 1867 the present comp.
troller Of currency was In charge Of the
office Of the Assistant Treasurer in New
Orleans. Having discovered large dc.
faleation Of over $4,000 in that office
the deiaulting Assistant Treasurer gave to
him his personal check upon the First
National Bank OF New Orleans for s3lO,779,
upon which S94 900 OF the cash being
the total applied upon this check.
It was subsequently found by the receiver
Of the bank that the bank held legal Offsets
against the check Of the assistant treasurer,
and that there was really none due upon
the large check held by the Government.
But in the meantime the s04 900 collected
from tho bank had been covered into the
treasury. Subsequently tho Government,
by subrogatioD, became the creditor OF the
bank for large amount and
the Comptroller has, since 1874,
persistently declined under the best legal
advice to pay to the government the sub.
sequent dividends amounting 10 about
1000 upon this claim unless the $4,000
erroueously paid the government be allow
ed in its settlement. This allowance has
been pesistently refused and been sub.
ject 10 controversy in the department
i0r more than six years, thus dc.
laying the final settlement Of affairs
OF the bank. The present Secretary OF the
Treasury, after careful review Of the pa
papers in the case, reversed the previous
decisions and decided in favor Of the
comptroller, and upon his recommendation
an appropriation WAS made by the
last Congress OF S2S,173 us the
balance due from the Government
to the bank. The whole amount OF the
claims OF the creditors aggregate s70o, AGO,
and is 10 be distributed among about live
