TRoUBLE IN TIE TREASURY.

WASHINGTON, June 4.--The secre-
tary of the treasury, to-day, received
telegram from j. A Sample, of the
U. S. treasury Office, who is now ea
gagged in Investigating the affairs of
the assistant treasurer's office at New
Orleans, reporting that the shortage
so far discovered in the accounts Of
mutilated currency and U. S notes
deposited for redemption, amounts to
$25 000 He also reported that the
redemption clerk, who is suspected of
the defalcation, has disappeared, and
efforts to arrest him had proved I'M
successful.
In speaking of the defalcation to-
day the United States treasurer said
he proposed 10 make full and com.
plete examination of the affairs Of the
treasury, and to that end he sent
two clerks Of his office to New Orleans
to assist those now there. The treas
urer says it is possible that the short
age amounts to $50, 600, and intimates
that more than one clerk is implicated
in the defalcation. He says the gov
eminent viii suffer no loss by the
defalcation, as it is fully protected by
the bond of the assistant treasurer.
The president to-day appointed
Hunter Wood TO be collector oil

already upon the ground the plan for a

From the Amsterdam Democrat1
Comfortably reclining on a small iron
cot in the extreme northwestern cor
ner Of the mems ward of the Albany
city hospital was found the other
morning the Englishman named Thur
man, of Amsterdam, whose case is
very peculiar He told the following
story 81 was employed in knitting
factory III Amsterdam, and was taken
suddenly sick in June, 1882, and con
tinued seriously illuntil July IL, when
Twas removed to this Institution, where
[ have since been. When [ was first
attacked / called on DR.. E. E. Rulison,
with whom Imade an engagement for
the next day, but Immediately after
seeing him / was taken violently i'll,
being attacked at intervals with fits
of uncosciousness and vomiting Dr.
Rulison made thorough study Of my
case, and being informed that | had
| two teeth filled recently, which at that
time irritated my mouth, said there
! was some defect in the dentistry
Subsequently | found that the sense
of feeling was gradually going out of
my feet, and finally my hands and
arms and feet became totally helpless.
For eight months l could not feel my
self, and was unconscious most of the
time. The physician at my request
extracted the teeth, and after analyz-
ing the artificial filling reported that
l had been poisoned by arsenic and
other ingredients used in the filling
DIR. Rulison forwarded one tooth to
the late Dr. Mosher of Albany for ex-
animation and kept the other one
| found relief Immediately after the
teeth were removed, though the poison
had thoroughly penetrated my sys-
tenn. | vomited but once afterward,
and the former fits of unconsciousness
did not recur, but | remain helpless,
as you see." The unfortunate man
has been in this country about six
teen or eighteen years, but has no rel
atives. The dentist who filled his
teeth is still in business. A few weeks
ago the patient was thought to be
failing, but he is now improved. He
has little hope that he will ever re-
cover
