THE FISH TRIAL.
The Examination of the ex.President of
the Marine Bank Continued.
New YORK, April G

New YORK, April 6.
The examination of James ID. Fish, ex-
president of the Marine Bank, was continued
TODAY. The total amount of checks received
by Fish for Grant & Ward from July, 1880.
to April, 1884, being one-fourth of the pre-
tended profits, was shown by the check books
to be S712,0 ,032. In addition to this the books
showed S205, 900 of Grant & Wards supposed
profits to have been turned over to the Mar
inc Bank. Fish personally discounted Grant
& Wards notes at per cent, and had them
rediscounted by the Marine Bank at 6 and
per cent. The accounts of the contract
loan" transactions between the Marine Bank
and Grant & Ward show ed that Grant & Ward
were charged for the use of the money as
much as from so to 120 per cent. per annum
Fish was asked what was the reason for
the Marre Bank charging Grant & Ward
these large sums for the use of money when
Grant & Ward could have borrowed else
much embarrassed and after a long pause
answered that two of the reasons were that
Grant & Ward could afford to pay, and the
bank wanted the sums charged The bank
only charged these large amounts on the con-
tract loans. The contracts were the basis of
security on which this money was lent. The
witness had every confidence that the con-
tracts were all right. The reason why he
did not enter on the books as interest the
whole of the money charged for the use of
the money lent, was because it could not have
been desirable to have it published that such
large interests were charged. The reason
that no reference to these contracts appeared
in the books was because it would not have
beeu practicable. 1t would not have been
satisfactory to the directors.

ENGLAND AND RUSSIA.
The Situation Materially UNCHANGED
Russiass Attitude.

LONDON, April s.
Prof Arminous Vambery, the distinguished
traveller. is of the opinion that war between
England and Russia is inevitable. He says
the Rawul, Pindi, meeting will perhaps delay
the outbreak, but if the Ameer of Afghanis-
tan consents to an English railway from Sidi
to Herat, hostilities will commence within q
few weeks.
He believes that Russia at best only awaits
the completion of the railway TO Bslikatron,
and that if she has been able to get soldiers
secretly across the Caspian Sea, war may
begin Immediately. The Novae Viemya, of
St. Petersburg, openly demands that Russia
Withdraw from the Paris Declaration, re-
garding the fitting out of privsteers. Prof.
Vambery says that the Afghan question is
mainly who is willing to give the richest sub
sidy to the Ameer, whose friendship will 60
to the highest bidder.
CALCUTTA, April 6.
Orders have been received by the Indian
government, from London to actively con-
tinue preparations for war, Notwithstanding
the pacific assurances of Russia. This action
has created good IMPRESSION in India, and
sustains the enthusiasm of the British and
native troops.
LONDON, April 8.
The morning papers generally declare the
Russian answer regarding the Afghan from
tier question to be elusive and unsatisfactory.
BAwAL, PINDI, April 6.
A grand review of all the British and ma
tive troops here took place today in the
presence of the Ameer of Afghanistan, Earl
Dufferin, and all the native troops. The
march past the point of review occupied two
hours. The troops presented a splendid ap-
perance, and the parade was one of the finest
spectacles ever beheld in India. The Ameer
was profoundly impressed by the ceremony,
with the power and glory of England. Earl
Dutferin gives a grand banquet in honor of
Abdurraman tonight.
The immediate completion of the railway
to Quetta has been ordered. The Mahrajah
of Nepaul has offered the services of $1,000
picked Goorkas who, he says, are ready to
march under British officers across the from
tier, in the service of the Queen, on receipt
of telegram from the Viceroy asking them
to do so. The Mahorajah also has rendered
every assistance in his power to give, for the
purpose of recruiting native troops for ser
vice against Russia.

NAME DISPATCHES.
A BLOOD.THIRsTY YOUTH.
Murder Seems to Have Been Born in Him
and His Last Assault Was With an Axe
on His dmother-Chebeague In.
tensely Excited.

PORTLAND, April 6.
John Faithful Farr, aged IA, of Long
Island. seems to have suddenly developed
traits that recall Jesse Pomeroy to mind.
When years of age, he was in the habit of
killing all the chickens he could find, .ssnap.
ping their heads Off" a. one of his acquaipt-
ances put it. Then he had mania for stranp-
ling cats and any pet animals The develop
ment of the desire to injure human beings,
especially children, finally compelled his
mother to flee with him from Long Island and
seek safety at Chebeague.
After fatally choking one or two poodle
dogs, his next exploit was to put a rope around
little girls neck and lower her into a well.
from which she was recovered at the last
moment. He attempted to kill another little
other freak was to thrust long pin into his
grandmother when she was asleep. 1t was
proposed to send him to the Reform School,
but he was thought to be too dangerous Gus
toner for that institution. About this time
his grandmother returned to Long Island,
leaving her home to save her life. One morn
ing, cries of murder came from the old lady s
cottage. Fishermen, on entering, found the
boy beating his mother on the head. Young
Farr made his escape from the house, spring
ing over cliff 80 feet high. Since then he
has tried to kill his grandmother with scythe
and axe. On learning that his grandmother
had made complaint against him, he went to
her cottage, Monday morning, and said, ''I'll
let you know whose windppe l am going to
take care Of" and made an assault on her
with a hammer, striking several fierce blows.
Cries of murder summoned the neighbors,
but fighting like tiger through the crowd,
he escaped and took boat for Crotch Island,
where he is now entrenched. Parties on
Great Chebeague Island say that if he lands
there he will be shot at sight. The Portland
police are on his track. His grandmother is
badly injured.

PHILADELPHIA, April 6.
The mayor, today, notified John II. Clark
proprietor of the Club Theatre, that in view
of the judges opinion, interdicting the Sulli-
van Met Caffrey contest, sparring will not be
allowed in the theatre. The mayor also is
sued an order to the police to watch the
roller skating rinks closely. The order says
that the habits formed by very many of the
participants of these places, the license en-
joyed thereat by the youth of the city, with
out that reserve and care which is necessary
at such places, are calculated to necessitate
the strongest action possible in their control
and surveillance, and concludes by saying
that every parent in the community should
aid the police in the matter.

from their sergeants that the battery had
been called out for immediate service in the

enough to announce it as a fact from bis pull
