WAS 1T An ERROR!
Nine Thousand Dollars In Gold Cert.
fcates Missing in New York
Custom House.
NEW YORK, March 81.

NEW YORK, March 81.
The Tribune of tomorrow will publish a
story of which the following is q synopsis
On the 18th inst. $4,000 in gold certificates
were abstracted from the cash room Of the
custom house during business hours. Over
$500, 600 was paid in duties that day and when
the money came to be counted for deposit in
the sub-treasury, at the close of the days ac-
counts. was short $1,000 in gold certificates.
The money was handled by six different per-
sons, but the loss occurred in what is known
the ''bill cage" where there were onlv
three men in the latter part of the day. 1t is
possible to have been the result Of an error
in the count. but it is hardly regarded as
such. President Arthur and Secretary Folger
have authorized Collector Robertson to made
a thorough investigation, which is now under
way. While President Arthur was collector
he lost $1,000 in the same manner and Col
lector Merritt, during his term of Office, lost
sl400.

FROM WASHINGTON.
A GRAND OvERHAULING
Of the u. 8. Treasury-First Examina.
tion for Ten ears.

WAsHINGroN. April l.
The committee appointed TO examine the
cash in the United States Treasury and ac-
counts of the Treasurer, began the work after
the close of business on Saturday by making
account of the teller's cash. They say there
need be no interference with the business of
the Office. The reserve vault was also sealed
up preparatory to taking an inventory of its
contents. as turned over by Gilfi Ian. They
thought the count would occupy two or three
weeks. There has not been a thorough
overhauling of the treasurer's office for ten
years, the last full examination being one
made during Treasurer Spinner's time, when
Spinner turned Iver the Office to Treasurer
New. The latter was willing to accept the
cash and accounts without examination. and
his bondsmen also being willing, the Secre-
tary of the Treasury dispensed with an ex-
animation. The same thing occurred when
Treasurer Wyman succeeded New, and hen
Gil6ilan succeeded Wyman. The latter has
expressed his willingness to forego an exam
ination on the present occasion, but the Sec
retary thinks that SO long time has inter-
vened since the last count, one should be
made. The committee will be assisted in
the work by force of twenty or thirty
clerks detailed from offices other than the
treasury office. The account will be made
Of old notes in redemption, the division Of
new notes in the reserve vault, the silver
and gold aud the bonds held in trust. Presi-
dent Upton of the committee, has directed
that he has decided to take an actual count,
and it must be made in all cases.
The silver and gold bags of coin will be
opene and counted. He will personally
assume charge of the work OF comparing the
cash on hande with the treasurer's accounts
and with the accounts of disbursing officers.

What Eaton Says of the Affair-He is
Willing to Return Home.
HALIFAX, March 81.

HALIFAX, March 81.
Herbert Eaton the Calais, Maine, mur-
derer, is still lying at Truro. n. s., from the
effects of the attempt to commit suicide. He
says he does not know what induced him to
shoot Kelley as he was great friend of his.
or wound his brother as he had no ill will
toward him at all. The three had been
drinking at the time of the shooting and he
did not realize what he had done until the
next morning when he made up his mind to
kill himself and put an end to his mental
agony. He will return home quietly and
leave. Two of his brothers have arrived at
Truro and will probably remain until he is
able to leave.

FROM NEW HAVEN.
A Disgusting Scene in Court.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Marc

New HAVEN, Conn, March 81.
The examination of John II. Gibbs the
young colOred man charged with assau.ting
six women after nightfall, since October,
began today in the city court. Margaret
Connors, employed by Eli Whitney, testified
as to assault and identified Gibbs as the as.
sailant. On cross examination by Blyden-
burg, defendants counsel, dramatic scene
occurred. The lawyer asked her age and
other questions which impressed the witness
as improper. She faced Blydenburg, saying,
excitedly, II understand what you mean
you are trying to make mean insinuatons
my charater is ~ pure and spotless as when
It came from the hand of God; l am of re
spectacle parantage and my character has no
blot or STAIN" 1t was some time before the
young woman could be quieted. She had
previously been self possessed and is highly
esteemed by her employer. The conduct OF
the lawyer will injure his client instead of
benefttng him.

Telephone Matters.

Experiments were made Wednesday, in
telephoning between New York and Chicago,
over wires of the Postal Telegraph Company,
with very satisfactory results. The instru-
ment used was the double Edison telephone,
which was employed four years ago in estab
fishing communication between Teledo and
Milwaukee by way of Detroit and Chicago, a
distance of over 500 miles. 1t consists of
two Edison telephones attached to single
mouth piece in such manner as to obtain
their combined effort. Every word spoken
to-day between New York and Chicago could
be heard as distinctly as those between points
near together, and voices could be readily
distinguished.

Several Secret Societies AssaiIed.

Rev. Jonathan Blanchard, president of
Wheaton College in Illinois, in preaching
the funeral sermon today over the remains of
young man who in this life had been prom
incnt member of the Grand Army Republic,
Knights of Pythias and the Independent
Order of Mechanics, made some remarks de-
nunciatory of secret societies. A sister of
the deceased who was present in the church
where the services were being held, became
very much excited over the language of the
preacher, especially for the reason that at
the request of the family the societies of
which her brother had been a member, were
conducting the funeral with society honors.
She tainted and had to be carried from the
church, amid some excitement. Her hus-
band asked the clergyman to discontinue his
remarks. The latter refused to do so unless
requested by the father of the deceased, who
had first asked him to 0fficiate. The father
of the dead man told him he had 'better
quit" and gathering up his manuscript he
left the church. After some delay another
clergyman was found to officiate, and the
services were concluded without interruption.
The occurrence mas caused some excitement
among the members of the societies assailed.
