THE PePE's BIOGRAPHY.
The Personal Memoirs of His Holiness To Be
Published by an American Firm.

New YORK, March 1.-The Tribune this
morning says: "The enormous sale of the per-
sonai memoirs of General Grant has naturally
attracted great attention Political, social liter
ary and military heroes ali over the world may
be expected to blossom out into autobiography
on the slightest encouragement But different
walk in life from those enumerated is to be rep
resented by the next great autobiography. The
very crown and cap-stone of the greatest of the
priesthoods, the man whom large part Of the
worlds population regards as Christ's vicar on
earth, the successor of ST. Peter the infallible
the Pope. will write the history of his life and
submit it as commercial enterprise to the bus-
ness management of Charles l.. Webster g Co.,
the same firm that published General Grants
book. For esme time correspondence has been
in progress between the firm and the papal Sec
retary at Rome and the negotiations have now
reached an advanced stage. Mr.. Webster yes
terday stated that he was going to publish the
book but he could not say much about the de-
tails, as hey had not yet been arranged. The
first hals of the work is already completed. 1t
is being done by a high church dignitary, who is
intimately acquainted with the life and charac-
ter of his Holiness OF course. he has access to
every scrap of record that has even the remotest
bearing OF, the subject, and the work will be
complete and official in every sense. 1t is being
written in Latin, and will be published in that
English, French aud Italian Immediately, and
certainly all other languages as soon as possible
Work has already begun on the French and
Italian translations. Mr.. Webster has taken
the contracts for the world. The work will not
be issued until the summer Of 1887

I'm an editorial the editor advises me to go to
st. Louis in order to effect settlement Mr.
Brown has seen ft to refuse the mediation of
the general executive board of the Knights of
Labor to secure settlement of pending difficult
ties by arbitration. He must now be held re-
sponsible at the bar of public opinion for reject
ing the overtures of those who, having as deep
an interest in the welfare and prosperity of this
country as Mr.. Brown can possibly have, and
who have done more not only to set the idle wheels
in motion, but to keep them going. I expected
that Mr.. Brown would have some suggestion Or
remedy to offer by which termination of this
trouble could be reached. and / must confess
that his reply was surprise to me. Our board
had arranged to have committee 60 to the
scene of action but if those in authority will not
meet with them no good can come from any in
reference on our part"

BANK FAILURE In NEW JERSEY.
Suspension of the Dime Savings Bank Of New
Brunswick, Caused by Defalcation.

New BRUNSWICK, N. j., March 1.-THE Dime
Savings Bank, of this city, is in trouble. The
doors were closed this morning by orders Of the
Secretary of State The directors of the bank
are now in session, but positively refuse to give
any information as to what tho trouble is
ArthurG. Ogiesby, the secretary and treasurer,
Ii is rumored, is short in his accounts to the
amount of $50, 900. Mr.. Ogilvie is prostrated at
bis home, and cannot be seen. No man in the
city has borne higher reputation for financial
integrity. w. P. Voorhees, one Of the directors,
>land counsel for the board, returned this after
noon from New York. with an order from Chan
cellor Runyon restraining the board from receiv-
ing deposits or paying out money, and command
ing them to report Immediately the condition of
the bank to him. The order was granted upon
the petition of the directors, who assert the
banks inability to pay on its deposits. The last
statement of the bank was made JAM /. 1886.
Its surplus was then only So. $50 r. It's deposits
amounted to $685. 750 It's securities we're large
ly in bonds and mortgages. The institution was
never considered especially strong but its credit
was never questioned until at the time of the
failure of the National Bank, of this city, in
August 1884, when rumor prevailed concerning
its insolvency.
Investigation reveals the fact that the direct
ors cannot be held responsible for whatever
Ogilyie was under bonds for $1,000, it is ac-
knowledged by counsel for the bank that the
deficit is $4,000. Mr.. Ogilvie's residence is
under surveillance Of the police. 1t is thought
uthat he. will not survive the night ...ss -
Tie depositors in the bank are mostly opera
fives in the mills and factories of the city.
President Langdon asserts that on Feb.
20 he handed his resignation as
president and director Of the bank
to Mr.. Ogilvie, not being satisfied with it's man
Agemert Mr.. Ogilvie never made known the
fact of his resignation to the other directors.
Mr. Langdon now dsclaims any responsibility
in connection with the failure In an interview
with an Associated Press reporter. tonight he
said that the first intimaton the directors had of
the defalcation was on Sunday night from words
dropped by Treasurer Ogilvie in his deirium.
On Tuesday night committee visited the bank,
and found bonds end securities missing. The
january statement of the bank was published
entirely on Mr. Ogilvie's authority. and was
never vouched for by the directors. Mr.. Ogil-
vie, some nights ago, closed up the account of
the Citizens Building and Loan Association,
and 1t is surmised that some of the banks funds
went toward squarinc up accounts there.

THE ASHLAND HORROR.
Neal, Craft and Ellis We're Innocent Victims,
the Real Criminals Are Still at Large.

ASHLAND, KY, March 1.-THE horrible mur-
der. on Christmas eve, 1884, when three children
were murdered here, which resulted in lynch
ing and the killing of nearly forty people after
ward, is recalled again by the developments
about to be made, which will demonstrate that
Neal Craft and Ellis were innocent of the crime
for which they suffered. For some time several
philanthropic gentlemen, some Of whom never
saw this town. have been employing detsctivas
TO sift every theory, and investigate every elew.
Their work has been crowned with the greatest
and the arrest of the real criminals will
soon follow. The evidence against them is con-
elusive, and will show that the triple murder
was committed early in the morning; that the
perpetrators went to the house by appointment
with one of the girls, who had previously been
on intimate terms with one of them. and that
the triple murder followed the unintentjanal
killing of the boy for resisting assaults on the
girls. The arrests will soon be made, and would
have been made before but for the excited state
of the public feeling here on the subject The
parties. as has been limited many times before,
hold very respectable places.

At Kansas CITY and vicinity.

KANSAS Cry, No., March 1.-THE strikers
changed their front to-day by refusing to let an
engine leave the sheppard that had been fired
up to pull out freight train. The engineer
mounted the cab, and was about to move
down to the lower yeards, when a committee re-
quested him to run the engine back into the
house. which he did. Similar action was
taken at Downs's this afternoon, as
a train was about to start East. The
freight train which left here at 7:3O
last night reached Downs's on time, pass
ing through Greenleaf at full speed.
The strikers have resumed their watch
at the shops, round-houses, and yards, and their
patrolmen order the new employees
to quit work as fast as they report for duty.
The statement last night that the strikers were
asking financial assistance from citizens was
mistake. Tho men say they are prepared for a
long siege. Interior towns are on the eve of
a coal famine, and some of the smaller towns
are nearly out of groceries and provisions. In
Atchison there is short coal supply, and unless
the blockade is lifted in few days the mills will
have to shut down.
