ing editor of the Sentinel, and until recently

ing editor of the Sentinel, and until recently
Milwaukee correspondent of the Chicago
News. The name of the paper has been
changed to the Post, and it is said 1t will be
made first-class Republican newspaper
MIR. Stickney, who is young journalist of
more than average brightness, came to this
city last fall from Philadelphia where he had
position as editorial writer, and endeav-
ored to suit himself to the revolving and
hair trigger management of the Sentinel He
had not been here long before he found out
his mistake, and in short time thereafter
he resigned in disgust. For while after his
retirement he cast longing eyes at the Daily
Journal, Mlwaukee's two-cent evening paper,
and it is alleged he offered $4,000 for the
concern, but he failed to get it, and in order
to keep busy accepted the position of local
correspondent OF the Chicago Daily Neaos
While serving In this capacity it is further
alleged that he got his fingers somewhat
scorched in wheat deal on the chamber of
commerce. The Detroit purchase, however,
is evidence that Mr.. Stickney was not
'sskinned,' and his friends will look for a
wondrous transformation of the old Detroit
Post and Tribune.
THE BANK SETTLEMENT.
There is very little gossip afoat about the
Manufacturers bank. Those who were
talking loud several weeks ago are whisper
ing now, or are not talking at all. Whether
their silence has been purchased, or is the
result of sober second thought is a matter for
conjecture; the one sure thing about it all
is that they have shut up Messrs. Has
brouck and Como have withdrawn the pro-
vision that their offer to pay accounts in full
must be signed by all the creditors, and now
those who prefer to wait three years for their
pay in full can get it, and those who do not
sign the agreement will get 25 per cent. from
the receiver on the list of October, and the
balance of the so per cent. when collections
are made. President Haskins hovers
around the bank like restless spirit, and
his smooth shaven countenance bears an ad-
ditional shade of meekness.
WELLS AND M'GEocH.
The litigation between these two specula-
tors drags on. The attorneys are preparing
to argue motion to limit the subject of
Wells examination before court commits
sioner. Commissioner Bloodgood has made
his return in the matter of the examin alton
of McGeoch, and the attorneys for Wells will
soon obtain an order to show cause why
McGeoch should not be compelled to answer
the questions he refused to answer on his
recent examination.
