LOUISVILLE. KY, Jan. 4.-Rumors have
been in circulation for several days past
that Treasurer Samuel Weir Of New AL
bany lad, was short in his accounts to the
extent of 800, 900. Colonel Granger has
been examining the books, and said yes

all sources is but SIS, 900 year. He says
there is no money, therefore, to steal,
