THE ANGLICAN PRIMATE.

The new Primate of the Anglican Communion
is one of the youngest bishops III the Province
of Canterbury. The Bishop of Truro was nom
mated to one of the newly created sees five
years ago, and during this short term he has
not done any thing to add to the reputation
which he had previously acquired as an excel
lent school master. Archbishop TAFT first at.
tracted public attention as the successor OF DR..
Arnold at Rugby, but subsequently, as Dean of
Carlisle and Bishop of London, he gave ample
proofs of the tireless energy the moderation
of temper and the tatesmanlIke sagacity which

the highest functions of ecclesiastical govern

estimated that the property turned over to the
bank by Upton will realize 100000. That
will mako 100000 toward making good the

banks suspension will render some Of its debts
bad, swelling the total loss to $400,00O. The
total deposits were 100000, and tho missing

that the solution is likely to be payment Of

the directors, who will thus pay dearly for their

THE BRUSSELS MURDER CASE.

The conviction of the Peltzers in Brussels
brings to a close one of the most remarkable
murder cases ever given to "A jury. The older
Peltzer ia order to revenge himself upon the
husband of the woman whom he wished 20
marry, and at the same time to put him out OF
the way under circumstances which would divert
suspicion from himself, sent to New-IOrk for
his younger brother ard prevailed upon hin to
eptrap the man into a hired chamber in Brus-
sells and TO muruer him there. The evidence
against Leon Peltzcr was conclusive. He admit
ted having shot Bernays, but sought to explain
it as all accident.
The theory of the defence was that the
American brother had gone to Europe in
connection with some mysterious business
negotiations, and that lie was anxious
TO obtain the legal advice of Bernays
without disclosing his identity. Accordingly
he had assumed the disguise and hired the
apartment, but when the two men met he had
been recognized and in the excitement of the
moment the revolver had been accidentally dis
charged. This theory wa5 untenable, first, be-
cau,e man does not shoot another by accident
in the back of the head, and, secondly, the ne
cessty for concealment and masquerade could
not be satisfactorily demonstrated. The true
version of the story evidently was that the
Younger Peltzer, being swaycd by his brothers
powerful will. had murdered the lawyer and
had subsequently informed the police where the
body could be found in order that Nine. Ber-
NAYS might learn as speedily as possible that
she was "A widow and free to bestow her ailec-
lions elsewhere. The evidence against Armand
Peltzer was entirely circumstantial, but the
motive for the murder was so clear, and his con-
nection with his brothers movements and dis
guises during nine months was so closely estab-
lished, that his conviction has followed.

RECKLESS ROBBERY.

The Rochester Bank enlightenment seems to
have been one of the coolest cases of robbery
on record There is DO excuse offered for Presi-
dent UptOn's conduct, because none is possible.
He stole tbs money of the depositOrs, used
il in private oil speculation, and lost it. He is
as much OF a robber as he would have been had
he broken into the bank at night and taken the
money. Sympathy for such calculating thief
is out of the question, and in Rochester there
are no signs that any is offered. For his dis
graced family everyone will feel profound SYM
patty, but for the man himself nothing but rep
rotation He was not led into the commission
of his crime by any sudden temptation such as
often impels vulgar thief, but went about it
deliberately and unscrupulOusly. Honor and
truthfulness were apparently unknown to him.
