A Bankers Son tilted by His Ff-
 anceey Who Weds . Former Lov-
 CT.
 NEW YORK, Dec 4.-Reliab1e information was received to-day by Mir. George E. Simp- son, the Broadway banker, of the runaway marriage of Miss Mary E. Willard of Wash ington, D. o., to MT. William Paxton, the patent lawyer of that city. Miss Willard was to have been married to MT. Frank Simpson of Kansas City, the son of the banker. Mir. George E. Simpson said to a reporter to-day: Miss Willard and my son were acquainted for three years. There had been no intimation on her part that she de sired to break the engagement. In fact when financial difficulty occurred with our firm in this city in the recent panic and when the offer was made to her to cancel the engage ment she expressed the strongest devotion to my son. The only reason can give is that MT. Paxton must have been a former lover, who, finding that he was about to lose her, renewed the siege on her heart and finally captured it. Of course my son feels some what hurt over the affair, but he takes the matter philosophica1ly and considers 1t far better that he should have found her want of affection for him now than at later stage in life. At present he is in Orange, N. J., but VIII soon return 10 Kansas City.
 Sympathy Wasted on Simpson. WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Mr. Willard, the father of the young lady who yesterday eloped with MT. Paxton, is well known figure about the Capitol here where his busi- ness claim agent often takes him. A gentleman who knows him well is reported in the Critic this evening as saying that not much sympathy should be bestowed upon MT. Simpson of New York, whom the young lady was to have married. Being asked why he said: Because Simpson does not need | the sympathy and he does not want it. From all can learn Simpson was the man who broke the engagement. The engagement I am told and believe was declared by him to be off and then followed the elopement, which am confident was but entered into to cover up the fact that the man who was to have had Miss Willard proved himself to be derelict. MT. Willard is not by any means as wealthy as the printed reports of the elopement made him. He is not wealthy at a11

A Young Man Shoots Down The Huss
 band Of His Sister.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 4-The circumstances of the shooting of John Hestor, tailor at 393 Bowery, have been developed as follows: Philip Lohges, twenty-six years old, bro ther-in-law of the murdered man, visited Hestor's house this morning and found Mrs. Hestor in tears, the result of quarrel with her husband. She told Lohges that John threatened to EEmark her" and had been talk ing about her among strangers. Incensed by his sisters pitiful story Lohges went di- rectly to the tailor shop, where he found his brother-in-law at work and alone. 'FWhat are you talking about my sister in that way for?" he asked, confronting him. 'None of your business" was the answer. Without another word Lohges drew pistol from his pocket and fired, knocking the tailor from his seat with the first shot and pouring charge after charge into his body. The mur- derer calmly left the store, locking the door after him and proceeded at once to the First street police station where he related the cir cumstances of the shooting and gave himself up. Hestor and his wife had always been supposed to have lived happily together.

TALK WITH BEECHER.
He Declines to Speak of the Mutual
 Friend and Hopes For Wise Things

Friend and Hopes For Wise Things
 From Cleveland.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-When asked to-day if he had anything to say in connection with Frank Moulton's death, Rev. Henry Ward Beecher said 'FI could say many kind things of Mir. Moulton, but some things not complimentary. Then why say anythinga His hand was raised against me, but he could not help it. He was compelled to take the stand he did. The real truth of that con- spiracy against me has never been given to the public. MT. Moulton had many docu- ments that were not produced. I may tell what I know some day"
 "What do you think of the election and it's results?" asked the reporter. "The country has been like muddy water stirred up Let it alone and it will settle. The next admin istration must be one of progress or in 1888 a new party will come into power. I am not a Democrat and people won't let me call my self Republican, so I suppose I am neutral I am an evolutionist and believe in the un- folding of great principles and great issues I care not for the names of parties. I loot back only when doing so helps to seer forward"
 'How do you think Cleveland rlll act as President?' 'I do not know. lis past rec | ord has been excellent.

We went in for the right and as soon as the dis I interestedness is taken away down goes our l independence The principal thing I hope
 to see is a revival of business in the South" "

A gentleman called at the United States
sub-treasury Monday and asked with much
eagerness if it was true that there was more
than $50, 900, 900 in cash in the vaults of
that building. He explained that he had
made little bet with friend that there was
not so much actual cash in any one building
in this country. The inquring stranger was
informed that up to Friday night the amount
of money in the sub-treasury was $780,
401, 900.
''But how much of this is in actual hard
cashl'' asked the stranger.
GAN of It is in cash." was the reply.
"About one-half of it, 81, 27O, $50, is in gold
coin; s34 900, 400 is in silver coin; 81. 49,
600 is in gold certificates; SIC, S99, 900 is in
silver certificates; $500, 400 is in legal ten
ders; S195,657 in national bank notes, and
then there areseveral hundred thousand dol
lars in minor cash items"
sab, UNI, thank you; guess / have lost
my bet" said the stranger, as he politely
took his leave.
The demand for silver certificates from the
south continues undated. The amount of
the certificates withdrawn from the sub
treasury last week for shipment to southern
cities was 1886, 600. 1t is expected that the
shipment viii average about 81, 900, 600 OF
silver certificates a week from now until

When Daniel McSweeny was languishing
in British prison, many prominent citizens
and the whole California delegation in con
gress, Democrats and Republicans united in
an appeal to the state department in his be-
half, James e. Blaine being secretary of
state. The New York Sun of March %, 1882,
thus described the reception Of this appeal:
So far as an effect was produced, this appeal
might as we'll have been addressed to the Foreign
Office in London. Mrs. Julia McSweeny, an
American born, addressed an urgent letter to MI
Blaine in August last, reeitIng the outrage on
her husband. and demanding protection for her
self and her children Mr.. Blaine treated that
letter with scornfui silence, because it was filed
with pungent truths. he was then bending his
ofiicisl mind and his energies in behalf of Ship
herds Peruvian Company" His Guano policy
claimed every thought, and American citizens In
British jais were left 10 their fate.
Before going to Ireland Mr.. McSweeny
had resided for twenty-five years in Cali
fornia. and possessed all the attributes of an
American citizen The conduct of Blaine
carries lis own comment.

Ger. Grnnt,s Inco,ne.

The New York correspondent of Detroit
paper recently related story in the columns
OF that journal to the effect that the $3.50, 600
fund which was raised for Gen. Grant some
years ago had been invested inaWabash
bonds, and so, through the shrinkage in the
value Of the Wabash property, had gradually
ceased to be. The correspondent asserted
that his authority for the truth of the story
was excellent.
Mr.. George Jones, who is one of the trus-
tees for the Grant fund, was asked this morn
ing If the facts as above stated had basis Of
truth. He said: 'sThe story is absurd, and
possesses nothing that could be tortured into
a semblance of truth. The fund is in the
hands OF f. D. Morgan & Co., and is guar
anteed by them. No decline in the value of
Wabash bonds can affect the fund.-
Another gentleman said s'Mr. John T.
Terry. of the firm Of E. d. Mogan & Co., is
guarantor Of the Grant fund. 1t is true
that the $3.50. 600 is invested in 8 per cent.
Wabash bonds but whether the interest is
paid by the railroad company or not, Gen.
Grant receives his per cent.
