forming the cashier of his loss, Balm drew
from the bank 81, 500, which he had on de-
posit there. and handed it to his sister, to
whose house he had gone as
soon as he missed the money
and who accompanied him back to the bank
The money was in S1OO and $50 notes. Al
though Balm claims to have lost the pocket
book containing the collections. the general
supposition is that it was stolen
from him by some clever pickpocket.
He claims to have taken the
pocketbook from his inside pocket and put
it in the hip-pocket of his pantaloons while
in the city postoffice.. where he went to get
the mail, when he had made all his col

had gone about a block from the
postofice. Balm has been in the employ of
the bank only few months. He is
cousin of the Balm Bros of the defunct

was taken to police headquarters

AMenagerie in an Uproar.

SpSCldl W Llo 0lOut
New YORK, Oct. 30.-The Grand Street
museum in Brooklyn was the scene of
terrific encounter between an elephant and
vicious black name lion early this fore
noon. The lion was once the property Of
Coup, and two years ago killed two leopards
within one week, while the circus was in
Missouri. The elephant occupied stall next
to the lions cage, and occasionally poked his
trunk into the cage and pulled the tail of
the lion until the latter roared with pain.
At 2 o'clock this morning Keeper George
Goodwin heard commotion in the menag
erie department and rushed in to find the
elephant loose and pounding savagely at the
lions cage, the animals being frantic to get
at each other. Goodwin and several as
sistants tried in vain to secure the ele-
phant, until Goodwin forced an iron prong
into its mouth and caught it in its tongue,
and for moment held the beast while the
assistants secured his legs with ropes. The
widest uproar was made by the other ami
mails in the menagerie and for little while
it looked as If a general escape would be
effected. The lions hind legs are dislocated
and he will be killed, while the elephant is
badly hurt. Goodwin and two of his as
sistants were taken to the hospital seriously

WASHINGTON, Oct 3O,-During the last
month the Washington churches have
been the scene of numerous we'd
dings. Last evening runaway
match was made under cover of fashion,
able wedding which took place at Foundry
church. The Rev. Byron Sunderland, pas
tor Of the Presbyterian church, officiated at
the runaway match. The we'd
ding at Foundry church was
that of Mr.. William Boyd to Miss
Mcknight. They had invited numerous
friends and relatives; among their acquaint-
ances who concluded to be present were
Miss Marian Oyster, the daughter of
leading commission merchant
of this city, and Mr.. Jessie
B. Rutherford, a salesman in a large fur
niture warehouse. Mr.. Rutherford is a
neighbor of Miss Oyster, and has been pay
ing his addresses to her for long time.
Last spring he called at her fathers house
and invited her to accompany him to
the Foundry church wedding. Unsuspect-
ingly the elders consented to the departure
of the youngest daughter, little dreaming
of the surprise she was preparing for
them. When abont half way to the
Foundry church Miss Oysters escort
suggested that they should be married, as
he had procured marriage license, and to
this she promptly consented. DR.. Sunder-
lands house on G street was the objec-
tive point of young Rutherford,
and thither the twain proceeded.
There was nothing irregular in
the proceeding, and when the legal certifi-
cate was produced the minister tied the knot
for the two young people. After this
incident they proceeded to the Foundry
church wedding, where a brother of
the bride was one of the ushers
He accommodated the family with his
choice seats, unconscious of an addition to
his list of relatives. Miss Oyster did not
return i'll the evening, but waited until
this morning before acquainting her fam
lily with what had taken place. Her
father was angry and refused to bless them
after the orthodox fashion, consequently tn
groom was compelled to take his bride to
his bachelor apartments, around the
corner from her fathers house.
The marriage license was not
procured until too late for insertion in the
morning papers, and the first intimation
that the friends of the young couple
had OF their escapade was tsiiS aft
ernoon when the license list was
published. Both the parties are well known,
the groom being the son of retired army
officer. while the father is one of the best

BosToN, Oct. 3O.-What appears to have
been most serious attempt at abduction,
La Charlie Ross, was neatly frustrated on
fremont street to-day. The wife of Mr..
A. c. J. Pope, bOokkeeper at No. 6S
Summer street, accompanied by her four
year-old boy, went into a market on Tre-
mont street, near their home. The
boy remained about the door playing,
and when the lady came out he was uot
tn sight. Upon making inquiries of the
people in the vicinity as to whether they had
seen him, she was told that two men. rough,
both in dress and manner. had come
flong and seeing the boy had stopped
and held a consultation. Having evidently
decided upon something, they approached
the boy and showed him a stick OF
candy. Naturally, the little fellow went
for it, and in this way they
succeeded in enticing him away from the
store. When last seen they were walking
up fremont street with the little
fellow between them, who seemed
happy and contented, sucking the
stick ofr-r Gdy. The thoroughly fright
ened moihEF, not knowing what else to do,
Boarded car which was moving in the
direction taken by the kidnapperS and
keeping close watch of the sidewalks as
she rode. After going about a mile Mrs.
Pope caught sight of the men and her boy,
and jumping from the Car, she made rush
for them. The men saw her coming,
and seizing the boy, who struggled and
yelled, they carried him into a house near at
hand. Mrs. Pope rushed after them and
was just about to enter when her
son came running and crying out
and flew directly into her loving and
protecting arms One of the men came
out after him to seize and carry him back.
He had set the boy down in
the hallway, when the little feilow
made a dash for the door to go to
his mother and got away. Mrs. Pope in
dignantly asked the man, who was i'll
dressed and OF brutal mien, what he meant
by abducting her son. The brazen
rascal pretended that the boy was
lost and that he and his companion had
picked him up. you ought to give us a
reward for finding him?" said he. IF you
had your just reward, returned Mrs. Pope,
''YOu would be in prison for this" The
fellow then skunk back in the house, and
Mrs. Pope was so overjoyed at recovering
her lost treasure that she did not
think to inform the police of the
affair The affair was one,of the boldest
that has occurred here for some time, the
whole thing being done in broad daylight,
on crowded thoroughfare, and almost
under the eyes of the mother.

mr. Jordan to mr. sherman.

Speclal TO the GLOBE.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O.-Treasurer Jor-
dan says that the statements made by Sen
ator Sherman concerning the financial con-
dition of the treasury in his speech at Pc
tersburg, Va, last night are misleading or
absolutely false. With reference to the
statement that 81, 800, 900 had been applied
to the payment of non-interest-b bearing GER
tifcates instead of the extention of the pub
lie debt Mr.. Jordan says that Sherman
blames the present administration for not
doing thing that he would not himself
dare to adv0cate-the application of sill
yer currency to the liquidation of the pub
lie debt. If Sherman, he says, would
advocate such thing on the
floor of the senate it would kill him
politically forever. Such course would
injure the credit of the country and make
it impossible for the government to get
money except upon very high rate of in
terest. If Sherman advocated this policy he
would be sent back to private life, as Thur
man was, when he changed his base on
finance. Sherman, Mr.. Jordan thinks,
would not want to repeat this experience.
AS matter of fact, he says he has put
more silver dollars and more fractional cur
Teney in circulation thtsa any one ever did

tional currency from the country, he
says he follows the example of
Sec. Sherman and his predecessors
when came into Office" he says, ''the
amount of fractional currency in the treas
ury was its maximum, and l have reduced
it SO that now there is more circulation than
there ever has been before and l have put
more silver dollars in circulation. AS to
there being any contraction of the currency
Mr.. Sherman knows that is not true. 1t
has been simply changed from paper to that
of metal. Far from the department being
run upon Mr.. Samuel j. Tilden's policy of
a single gold standard. what had been done
was directly opposite to his ideas. He was
opposed to the calling in of the 81 and 50
bills.''
