United States feet on the Pacific by the
steamer City of Para, which arrived at Aspin-
wall on the 2oth ult. The money (American
gold coin) was packed in two small kegs.
They were received in Panama the same
evening and stored for safe-keeping in the
Panama railroad company's vault. Delivery
was not made until Monday, the Ist instant,
when, upon opening the vault, it was discov-
cred that one keg was missing. No locks
had been broken on either the doors of the
freight-house, in which the vault is situated,
or the vault ITSELF No evidence was found
that the keg had been opened in the freight
house, nor a vestige of its valuable contents
could be discovered, after long and careful
search. All possible measures have been
taken to discover the thieves or booty. but
without complete success. Several arrest

IRELAND's severe illusions to the old

A Million Dollar Failure in New York,
Resulting from Stock Gambling.
New YORK, Sept. 25.-An assignment for
the benefit of creditors was filed to-day in
the county clerks Office by Ferdinand
Mayer and BENZ. Mayer, composing the
firm of Ferdinand Mayer & Co., 80 White
street, to Simon Danzig, giving prefer
eaces to the amount Of about S1O,513.
The preferences are principally on account
of accommodation notes and money loan
ed. Among the principal creditors are
the following: M. Fench Wanger d Co. +,
about $4,000; M. Levy Bros, $4,000;
unknown holders of promissory
notes by assignors abstract, $4,000;

pressed belief that the liabilities would

TRANSPORTATION NOTES.
The Qu'Appelle and FOOD Mountain Rail-
cdy.

u
The Fort Benton Record, Montana, dis
cussing this project, says it will run from
the Touchwood hills, where it forms
junction with the Portage and Northwest
ern, to the Wood river coal beds, passing
through Fort Qu'Appelle, the great supply
point of that section of the country. The
name given in the charter is the ZAP
pelle and Wood Mountain railway, and the
most prominent men in Canada are in.
terested in the line. 1t thinks there will
be no trouble in effecting an arrangement
to continue the line from Wood Mountain
to Benton if an effort is made. There is
desire on the part of the company to come
to Benton, and they will do SO if the pro-
per inducements are held out. 1t would
certainly be to the advantage of Benton
to have line running north, tapping the
Milk ,river and other valuable country be-
tween there and Wood Mountain. Such
line, in conjunction with the Northern
Pacific. wouId:make Fort Benton the market
town of q large section of the richest
agricultural and mineral country on the
continent.
