PlrrsnunGn, July 2O.-A large and en-.

chants and manufacturers, was held to-day.
Rule one of-thenavigation laws, relative to
passing steamers signaling, was loudly dc.
'nounced and a resolution was unanimously
adopted asking Secretary Folger to have It
repealed.
1.-THE Scioto disaster" said Capt. Mich
acles, ''was, in my opinion, due to the re-
cent change in the signals, as much as to
any other cause. The new law on this
point reversed the time honored order OF
things, and it ought to be repealed. We
shall pass resolutions to that effect any
how" si ,}iai.35,si,.s S A.
This feeling seemed unanimous, and
Capt. Devinney was quoted, in saying that
the man whose vote decided the change in
the old law, had never been aboard n
Western steamboat and seemed totally ig.
norant OF the mischief he was doing.

holders for political purposes, came up
again to-day, when decision was rem
dered by the court in banc, composed OF
Judges Wallace, Benedict and Brown, on
motion for new trial and in arrest OF
judgment. The decision is in effect that
an act Of Congress, prohibiting Govern

therefore the motion in arrest OF judgment
and for new trial is denied. Curtis was
sentenced 10 pay II fine Of 81 600. Coun-

The Disappearance OF Sum OF Money
Accounted for After Three Years.

PARSONS, KAN, July 20.-An incident
occurred hero Monday which has been the
means Of vindlcatiny the reputation Of a
former teller OF the First National Bank OF
this city. Five years ago, when Angel
Matthewson chartered the First National
Bank, he employed Kirby Smith as teller.
Smith held tho position for two years,
when the bank passed from the control Of
Mr.. Matthewson 10 Robert Stevens. 0w.
ing to bis efficiency Smith was retained.
At the end Of six months, however, some
thing occurred to shake the bank directors
confidence in their teller, result.
ing in his resignation. At that
time Matt Thornton, n colored
man, WIS employed about the bank
ns janitor. 1t was Thornton's habit 10 20 to
the bank early in the morning to sweep
out md dust. Matt was Of a curious turn
OF mind, that prompted him to investigate
matters In the bank whenever he was there
by himself, Upon the morning Of Novem.
ber IA, 1879, he peeped into the cash
drawer, and discovered there 81 900 pack.
agc Of greenbacks. The package he took,
and consequently when the books were
balanced that day the cash was $1,000
short. No one connected with the bunk
could account for the disappearance OF the
money. Thornton was questioned, but no
satisfaction was gained from him. Dctec.
tives from st. Louis were put to shadowing
both Smith and the janitor, but failed TO
establish any clcw. Smith WIS not sus.
pected by the bank directors OF being re-
sponsible for the shortage, but was given
TO understand that he was expected TO make
up the deficiency, which he did and at the
same time handed in his resignation
both OF which were accepted. Smiths
friends always maintained his innocence,
while another faction felt satisfied TINT he
was responsible for the shortage. Thus the
matter has stood for three years, and
would probably be shrouded in mystery
forever had not the rule held good that
people will give themselves away provid-
ing they are given time TO to talk. The
janitor kept his secret for awhile, but fin
ally made u confident Of John Boland, n
porter ut the Belmont House. Doland, in
return for his friends confidence, insisted
on having half the spoils or he would give
the thing away. Thus Thornton
was compelled TO whack up. Do.
land has farm near Emporia, which
he rented to another colored man. To this
man Boland contided the secret. All went
smoothly until Boland and his tenant Ind
falling out, when the tenant sought re-
yepge and came TO Parsons, went before
an officer, and made statement OF what
Boland had told him concerning the TAX
ing OF the money. This led TO the arrest
Of Thornton and Boland, who are in Gus
tody charged with robbing the First Ma
tional Bank OF 81 900. The money will be
collected from Boland. Thus the vindi.
cation OF Kirby Smith Is complete. His
friends are very much elated over the turn
matters have taken, and declare that every
effort shall be made to restore to him the
money which he put up to make good the
81 900 stolen by the janitor.

nial at the office OF the company, not much

that they had no other reports OF signing

he knew OF no figures this morning, nj.

soon. To IL question us to whether the
strike was approaching m end he replied
