as we have not inquired, how others

our own. Having 3 lot of paper to
ship to this place from St. Louis this

we could obtain by rail was Is cents
per hundred pounds. We ordered the
paper shipped by boat. Let US calcu-
late the difference in freight. The
weight of the paper was 1880 pounds.
At IS cents per hundred, the rate by
rail, this would have amounted to
$27 63. By the steamboat the
was 20 cents per hundred

rance was % Is; total, S1l 20, or, on
this small shipment, q saving of GIG SO.
The goods came throughjust as quickly
as they ordinarily do by rail and it is
well known to all shippers that they
are better handled, less knocked about.
Our grocerymen and others who are and
have been paying high freights have
now the opportunity to lay in heavy
goods at such shipping rates as will
place them beyond competition by inland
owns,and they should avail themselves
of it. We have not q doubt that much
lower rates a be obtained than the
one given us on = small shipment,
very likely down to 10 cents per
hundred, Or even less. The riv-
er is now in splendid boating
stage. 1t will be an evil day for us
when steamboats, cease to ply its
waters. We hope that day will never
come.

Two Burglars Shoot Each Other.

John Irving and John Walsh two widely
known burglars, shot and killed each 9TH
er in Shang Diapers saloon ct New York,
on the morning of the 10th. the ponce
story is that John Irving and Jack the
Mick" were in Diapers saloon shortly be-
fore s o'clock that morning. Both were
filled with liquor. They quarrelled about
some rascality i'll which they were mutually
interested. They became noisy, and Billy
Porter entered and tried to stop the row..
His interference reused their tempers to
fury, and both whipped out revolv rs and
fired at close quarters. Every one in the
room sought cover, as the double report
rang out. The shots were fred at the same
instant and with like effect. Irving fell
dead with Johnny the Mick's" bullet in
his brain, and the Mick fell shot through
the heart. Neither lived long enough 10
breathe twice. After the shsts ftBilly', Por-
ter and the gang ran into the street, but the
reports of the pistols were heard by the po-
lice and Porter was arrested. Every person
suspected Of being in the saloon at the time
tfthe shooting was arrested. John Irving is

rates are about the same IS those in force

Banks Short on Bonds.

The last bond seems to have h%ilIittle bank
prettily heavily. The controller of the cur
rency has urged bankers 20 buy 4s for a
year. but they took the chances and many
OF them will have difficulty in finding the
new bonds now. Its estimated at the treas.
ury department that not over $10O, GOO, 600
of the Is can be bought at any price now,
the rest having been secured by the banks,
by trust companies and by foreigners. OF
the first call Tor 3 per cent?, the bonds were
ound to be held by $50 of the banks as Sc
curity for circulation. The amour, was

900, 90, made last week, ia bsnksa are found
to be Interested to the extent of SIS, 3332. 600.
1t will thus be seen that of the $50, OOo, oOe
called so far of the 3 per cents, the banks
will have to surrender $l2,43o, 600 worth.
This will no doubt stimulate the interest in

British government would repudiate The Sc
