The New York Panic.

warrant for the arrest of John c. Emo, the former president of tine Second National Bank was issued by United States Commissioner Shields Saturday morning at the request of District Attorney Root
 Mir. James D. Fish, President of the Marine National Bank, vas arrested Saturday evening ill his rooms ill the Mystic flats. The warrant was issued by United States Commissioner Shields on an affidavit sworn to by Bank Exam iner Serbia. The warrant charges Mr. Fish with ''unlawfully misapplying certain sums of money to the amount of $ 400, 900 of the mon eys and funds of the Marine National Banking Association to his own use, benefit, and adyan- tage, with intent to injure and defraud such association"
 Hiuckley, the cashier of the West Side Bank, who absconded with over S90, 900 of the banks funds, has not yet been arrested. The official examination of the banks condition shows that it is solvent, although it was forced to close by the refusal of banks to clear it's paper. It will soon resume.
 The Hot Springs National Bank of Hot Springs, Ark, has suspended, the Presid mt having decauped with the available funds
 Strong's bank at Green Bay, Wis, has sus- pended, caused by the failure Cf other banks with which it did business. The depositors will not meet with much loss. The liabilities are about s3I0, GOO. The ayai able assets amount to about S350,000
 General Grant has. as yet, made no explana- ti'h ol tiie IsteIS uC "IOte MT Tl-n. One ol the latter's lawyers says there are other letters from General Grant among Mir. Fish's papers. The expert accountant who is examining into the affairs of Grant & Ward thinks it will be impossible to make correct statement of the firms condition from it's accounts, which are ! badly mixed. A rect iver was appointed for the individual property of Ferdinand Ward. Marshals and detectives watch Mir. Eno's house day and night. lus have failed to arrest | him. The New York Rerdm says there is a | growing impression that the authorities are not very anxious to apprehcud him. | The swindle and rUSbery in the Penn Bank | of Pittsburg, is assuming astounding propor- l tions, the amount of deficit being over | S1, ,000, ,000. There is little left of the bank.

DANGERS FACED BY FIsnERMEN,
Great Loss of Life Among the Men Who
 Sail to the Banks from Gloucester.

The loss of life among Gloucester fishermen since Aug l. 1883, caused by the heavy gales on the fishing banks, has now reached a total of 254 men, the largest loss recorded from that port in any year, 1879 ranking next with q to- tsl uf 249 The dead of the past winter have left 70 widows and 1S4 fatherless children.
 The disastrous winter fisheries were first opened in 1880, and since that time Ar vessels and 2,C00 lives have been sacrificed in the fish cries centred at Gloucester. Until 1862 but few vessels were employed in fishing, in com parison with the great number owned at pres enf, and up 10 that date but 461 lives had been lost.
 In the winter of 1862 great gale was en- countercd on Georges Bank, during which the loss of life was swellpd to the then unpre- cedented number of 162 for the year. Since that time the yearly loss has often exceeded 100, and has seldom been less than 50; and from 1S62 to 1884 the whole number of lost men is }. 140 au average of 97 each year.
 The losses caused by collision during the gales of February and March, when the fleet is crowded into small space, are very great. Other boats are capsized by the sudden squalls. small number are run dowa by the large ocean steamers. During February and March a large fleet of vessels are usually anchored in crowded space. lheSe are the stormieSt months, and before full warning has been given violent snow squall often strikes ves- sel, which breaks away from it's anchorage and, driven by the winds, drifts with tremendous speed through the entire fleet, generally collid- ing with another schooner, when both go down together. If the drifting vessel is seen in time the other vessel cuts its cable, and then not unfreQuently both collide with other boats
 The matter is becoming SO serious that it Is now proposed to interfere by legislative enact ment to compel the adoption of modern safe guards against some of the dangers usually en- COunteTeu.

A Hit That Hurt.
TEE HUMoRIsTs IN TROUBLE OVER A JOKE
 ONE PLAYED ON THE OTHER.

While Joel c. Harris (''Uncle Remus'' was sitting at his desk in the Atlanta Constitution editorial rooms, Col. Ezra K. Watterson, the well-known planter of Long Cane, accompanied by a friend entered and demanded to know by what authority Mir. Harris was mak- ing such free use of the name of his daughter, Miss Dora. The demand completely nonplussed the genial author, and tine irate father took his hesitation as an evidence of guilt. Hastily throw ing his hand back to his hip pocket he was grasped by Col Sam w. Small and with much difficulty was restrained Pulling out memorandum book he took therefrom the following newspaper paragraph:
 "Jeel c. Harris, the humorist of the Atlanta Consultation, is about to be married to Miss Dora Watterson, the youngest daughter of Col. Ezra K. Watterson, the richest cotton planter in Georg,a."
 "It is a shame, sir" said the old gentleman, "that such use should be made of a lady's name. My daughter, who is shortly to be married to one whom she has known from childhood, has been thrown into serious illness by the publi- cation"
 Mir. Harris, on examining the para graph, found no difficulty in tracing it to Eugene Fields column in the Chicago Nelcs. The Chicago humorist had in. advertently hit upon the names of genuine people. When convinced of this Col. Watterson declared his intention of having satisfaction, even if it made necessary n trip to Chicago. He is just the man to carry out his promise.

1t was Sent to her House.

The Albany Argus says: A certain pretentious shopper, after teasing the clerks of dry goods store beyond the forbearance limit, pompously ordered Q spool of thread to be sent to her house. It was agreed that she should be made an example of and a warning to her kind. She was surprised, and her neighbors were intensely interested, shortly after she had arrived at home. A common dray drawn by four horses proceeded slowly up to her door. On the dray, with bare arms, were a num- Der of stalwart laborers. They were holding on vigorously to some object
 which she could not see. It was most puzzling affair. The neighbors stared. After deal of whip-cracking and other impressive ceremonies, the cart was backed against the curb. There, re. posing calmly. end up, in the centre of the cart floor, was the identical spool of thread which she had "ordered. It seemed to be coming all right. With the aid of plank, it was finally rolled, barrel fashion, safely to the sidewalk. After a mortal struggle it was "up- ended" on the purchasers doorstep.
 The fact that the purchaser came out minute later and kicked her own prop erty into the gutter detracted nothing from it. -.. ...... a

Amos EnO's Prediction.

This has been dreadful season for rich mems sons. Wealth from paternal sources has been dissipated in bulks that seem romantic rather than possibly real. Amos Enc, who counts the Fifth Avenue Hotel among his millions in estate, had to make good the money which his son had extracted from the Second National Bank. In the case of Enc. happen to know that he was a strong disliker of the fastness of busi- ness and social methods which charac- terized his son. The latter gave a din ner, less than week before the panic. The father was one of dozen guests. Everything was elaborate and costly to the very utmost. The viands were those which were hard and expensive to pro- vide rather than extraordinarily palat- able. There were nine kinds of wine. The feast was not uncommon in these days of reckless expenditure among millionaires, but the elder Enc did not approve. At the side of his plate, as at the rest, lay menu card, beautifully painted by an artists hand and fanci- fully inscribed with his name. He in- spected it gravely. and his daughter-in- law, who had by previous experience been taught that he was ready to re- prove such things, eyed him anxiously.
 "Clara," he at leugth said, "that is very fine. will keep it as memento to remind me when we are poor of the times when we were rich."
 He put the card into his pocket, and the party quickly rebounded from the momentary depression to which the old mans comments had lowered them. They did not dream of a speedy realiza- ton of Eno's prediction.-N r. Sun.

A MiIliOnaIre's Sudden Death.


 A sensation was caused when Samuel P. Burt, one of Milwaukee's wealthiest and best-known citizens, dropped dead. Mir. Burt died very suddenly at 8 o'clock in the morning while on a business trip to Metropolitan, mining town in the northern part of Michigan. Accom- panied by his wife, he went to Metro politan few days ago on matters re- lating to his large mining business, and his death, without a symptom of illness or warning, was great shock to those around. Less than year ago Mir. Butts first wife died from apoplexy. Her large property, amounting to Sl0O,- 900, was left to him.
 On March 26 Mir. Burt created great sensation in social circles by quietly marrying Miss Elizabeth Thompson, a pretty young Scotchwoman, who had for several years been a servant in his family. The matter was the talk of the town for days, but, owing to Mir. Burt's social standing and great wealth, the lit tie scandal was allowed to simmer awhile and die out altogether. A few days ago Mir. Burt and his bride re- turned from an extended bridal tour, and the young wife has now changed her orange blossoms for weeds of mourning. There are many unusual features about the case. Mir. Burt was preparing to move into a palatial residence that he had just completed at a cost of several hundred thousand dollars. It is said to be one of the most artistic residences in the country, and Mir. Burt and his bride would have moved into it immediately upon their return from Michigan. The bride of a ew.weeks is left a fortune es- timated to be more than s1 100000.
