advanced to a IL and 40 "a respectively. Soon
after the Vanderbilt shares were attacked with
great severity, and it was reported that the
West Shore and New York Central roads were

however, for when the bank statement was is
sued the market became very active and strong.
The weekly exhibit of the associated banks was
unexpectedly favorable The stock to turn the
market was Missouri Pacific, which was bought
heavily for inside account. Large numbers of
sellersiXty options are falling due and there is
a good demand from this quarter Sellers OPP

Shot for Stealing Food-Lieutenant Greedy
Says There Was No Cannibalism.
PORTSMOUTH, N. H., Aug. 13-Early this
morning Colonel Kent obtained an interview
with Lieutenant Greedy, who admits that Henry
had military execution on the 9th of june
AS early as March it was suspected that Henry
was stealing of the limited food which was APP
portioned out to the survivors and this fact be-
ing finally and positively ascertained, Lieuten-
ant Greedy had thereafter hard work to protect
the mans life, and it became necessary. in order
to keep up discipline, to inform Henry that he
would be shot if the practice continued, and
that similar fate would be melted out to
any other member of the party detected in
like crime. If Henry had been permitted to
continue his stealinss unmolested the balance of
the party would have surely starved to DEATH if
Henry alone survived After and in spite Of
these warnings, Henry was again detected in
stealing provisions, among the food taken being
two pounds OF bacon, the eating of so much of
which made him sick Search was then insti-
tuted, when it was found that Henry mad, among
other articles, stolen and secreted pair of seal
skin boots which had belonged to the hunter of
the party. I.ientanant Greedy was, therefore,
forced in order to maintain military discipline
and protect the lives OF his other comrades. to
issue a written order that Henry be shot,
which order was carried into effect
on June G. AS to the alleged
cannibalism. Lieutenant Greedy SAYS If there
was anything of the kind it must have been an
individual act and WAS not general Nothing of
the kind, however. came under Greely's personal
observation.
Sergeant Brainard who is in the hospital az
the navy-yard, confirms Greely's statements.
More than a week ago Lieutenant Greedy for
warded TO the Secretary Of War detailed re-
port of Henry's execution Upon proper repre-
sensations to Secretary Chandler court

Ben Butler Explains for the Benefit ola Truly
Good Editor.
Boston Special.
Gen. Butler is evidently going to get all the
fun possible out of his campaign. He sent this
note to paper to day:
To the Editor of the Star:
The editor of the Boston Herald does not seem
to know enough to be wicked when he wants to-
be. He closes an article upon your huInble
servant in the Herald Of Sunday as follows:
Can anybody believe that man with his record
cares a tinkers malediction for the principles of
any partyp Now he evidently thinks that q
thinkers dam is cuss word Will you inform
him that in the olden time, when travelling
tinker went about the country mending tho
holes in the tin kettles and pans, he frequently
found one that was ragged and rusty, SO that the
soldering iron would not take and he was obliged
to fill it up with mass Of solder. To keep that
solder en- masse over the hole while in the melted
state, he was accustomed to take some crumbs Of
breed and moisten them and make little ridge
around the hole with the moistened crumbs to
hold the solder in its place as he melted it in.
This was what was called thinkers dam
which he brushed away after he had finished as
it was Utterly useless SO that our pilgrim fathers
used the words mot worth tinker's dam =
never dreaming that they were profane. The
editor Of the Herald evidently thinks he has
been swearing all his life, when he hasn't and
that he must soften the word down into
rnalediction.p Yours truly,
