York Vaults.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.
The secretary the treasury today received
the following telegram from Solicitor McCue,
who is in New York "Mr. Acton refused to
remove the seals from the vaults. Under my
advice Treasurer Jordan has done so to carry
on the current business"
Mr.. Jordan asked Mr.. Acton to open the
vaults. This Mr.. Acton, acting under advice
of counsel, declined to do, and after some de-
lay Mr.. Jordan opened them himself after
consulting with Solicitor McCue of the treas
ury department. Only such vaults were
opened as were necessary for the proper
transaction of business. The business of the
sub-treasury, Mr.. Jordan said, was going on
as usual without interruption, only the ex-
changes on the clearing house were not made
on time. They will be made as usual on
Monday. The cash vault was the only one
opened, and Mr.. Acton declined to be present.

MELLEN.COOLIDGE CASE.
A Promising Witness for the Prosecution
Stories OF a Cape May Hotel Clerk.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2.
A. B. Dennis of 236 North Twelfth street
this city, promises to be an important witness
in the alleged conspiracy of Adrian T. Mel
len and Mrs. Coolidge, to accomplish the
death of Mellen's sons wife. Dennis was
employed by Mellen as room clerk at the
Stockton Hotel, Cape May, last summer.
About the middle of August Mrs. Emma c.
Long of Boston, whom Dennis has since
positively identified as Mrs. Coolidge, came
to the hotel, and was assigned by Mellen him
self to room on the same floor with young
Mrs. Mellen, for whom the mother-in-lsw
seemed to entertain great dislike. Dennis
said: The woman was never recognized
during the daytime by the elder Mellen, but
| saw them on several occasions walking to-
gether on the beach as late as IL o'clock at
night. Shortly after Mrs. Longs arrival
Edward Mellen was sent to Baltimore and his
wife was taken i'll. He returned ina few
days, and was sent away again His wife was
still sick. DR.. Thoms, Hay of Philadelphia
attended her. She was troubled with vomit-
ing and pain in her stomach Mrs. Long
visited her room frequently, and seemed to
make her very nervo-s. At length DR.. Hav
had to give orders that Mrs. Long should not
be permitted to enter the room. After this
she did not go there, and Mrs. Mellen got
we'll. Dir. Hay complained at the Office that
Mrs. Mellen was not being properly cared for,
and sent word to the housekeeper that she
would die if she was not treated better. Mrs.
Long remained ten days or two weeks, and
when she went away the elder Mellen in
formed the cashier that nothing was to be
charged her for board. Dr. Hay who lives
at l2S Arch street, corroborated this story in
all the details that apply to him. He .aid he
did not know the cause of young Mrs. Mel
lens illness. 1t might have been mere
bilious disorder, or it might have been due
to poison. The symptoms in both cases would
have been the same II was absolutely nee
essary, he said, to keep Mrs. Long out of the
way, she so excited the patient.

ORION

Cans't thou = \ = 4 loose the bands of
Orion Job XxXviit 81.
In the country of job, Orion occupies a
position near the zenith, and therefore is
the more brilliant and striking in its APP
p%earance. Night after night it sheds
down its rays with mystical splcndor over
the lonely solitades through which the
Euphrltcs flows, and where the tents of
the patriarch of u once stood. Orion is
not only the most striking and splendid
constellation in the heavens; it is also one
of the very few clusters that are visible in
all parts of the habitable world. The
equator passes through the middle of it;
the Slittcring stars of its belt being strung,
like diamonds, OF its invisible line. The
Bible reader of every cline and country
can go ont, in the appropriate season, and
find in his own sky the very constellation,
and direct bis gaze to the very peculiarly
in it, to which the Creator alluded in His
mysterious converse with Job. The
three bright stars which constitute
the girdlo or bands of Orion never
change their form; they preserve the
same relative position to each other, and to
the rest of the consultations from year to
year, and age to age. They present pre-
cisely the same appearance to MS which
they did to Job. They afford to lis one of
the highest types of immutability in the
midst of ceaseless change. Mysterious
triplct of stars! What answer could Job
give to the question of the Almighty
'Canst thou loose the bands of Orion ?"
Can man, whose breath is in his n~ostrils,
and who is crushed before the moth, I'M
clasp that brilliant starry bracelet which
Gods own hand has fastened on the dusky
arm of night? Can man separate these
stais, OF alter THEN relative position in the
smallest degree ?-BMe 1eaehin1 in Na-

TIE Sr,,,oa. Poisoning

If an attempt was really made tc
poison the family of Philip D. Ar.
mour Of Chicago it was undoubtedly
the work Of crank. 1t cannot be
ascrihed to the strikers. During
the whole of the recent troubles
they have acted in an orderly, law
abiding manner, and even when at
their worst on forner occasions
they have never waged war AGAINST
women aud children. Trey have
been guilty Of acts of violence, but
only Of such violence as men who
believed themselves injured would
naturally resort to. The prnsa bill
ties are that the attempt never took
place, and that by passing through
many persons, some trivial Incl
dent in the Armour family has
been exaggerated until it has
swelled to undue proportions.
