The New York Herad says: Nine.
CASTOR de Fontenillat, sister-in-law Of
Mr. W. X. Vanderbilt, before landing
from the French-line steamship La Bour-
gogne last Sunday morning placed a
large e-sized bank-note temptingly in the

OF Customs-Inspector Henry J.. Robin
son, brother Of ex- x-Lieutenant-G Governor
John G. Robinson, and an official with
twenty-five years of faithful service 10
his credit. to open that trunk and be-
hold that bill. The charge is that Ro-
binson took the bank-btll and put IL
into his pocket. The witnesses against
him are Inspectors Benedict and Brown.
They testified before Collector Magone
on Monday that they saw the bill when
Robinson lifted the lid, and saw him
take it. The accused inspector was sus-
pended on Monday, and recommenda-
ton for his dismissed was sent to WASH
ington. Nine. Castor de Fontenillat
called on the collector Tuesday morning
and tried TO save the inspector. She
said, as was the fact, that there was
nothing whatever dutiabie IN the trunk,
and that she had put the money in tho
tray simply as tip TO insure speedy
examination. Collector Aagone told
her that while no charge could be made
against her, the acceptance Of the money
by the Inspector was in violation OF q
plain law of which he was not ignorant,
and he would have TO go. State-Senator
Wagstaff also called to try to smooth
matters over, but in vain"

Primrose Day London.

ALondon special says: London was
painted pale, bilious yellow to-day in
honor OF the seventh anniversary OF Lord
Beaconstield's death. Everybody wore
the pale but rather pretty primrose
flower. For days past they have been
ruthlessly plucked throughout the length
and breadth of England to wither in the
SCOT and smoke Of London. II the au-
thor of Vivian Grey" really loved this
particular flower, which is doubtful, and
could see this dee1station, he would
doubtless say, with many other great
men. lord, deliver me from my fol-
lowersl"
His bronze statue in Westminster
Square was covered with yellow chaplets
from the hsbitations of the Primrose
League. Conservative danes and Tory
dutchesses made pious pilgrimages TO bis
effigy inbroughams, manned by highly
taxed and white powdered footmen, aud
deposited personal tributes In the waY of
more primroses at the foot OF the statue
OF the man who succeeded in retarting
progress for a short season.

MORE BETTING NOW.
Very Few Big Bets, but Plenty of
Small Ones Being Made.

CLItA4l OnSS DelI1R MAUI
The Richmond Terminal excitement is
giving place to the election canvass The
interest is growing every day, and quite a
number of bets were made yesterday. A
small bet. but one which caused deal of talk
and comment among hotel loungers, was be-
tween two New York drummers. The bet
was that Cleveland would have a greater
majority in the electoral college than hs
had four years ago To do this he will
have to carry all the doubtful states and
another state besides. All sorts Of opin-
ions were expressed, and not a few
considered the bet on Cleveland perfectly
safe
There are more bets made by Savannah
ians on states than ON the general result. DC
caslonally Cleveland man may get two
lO-one bet, but the amounts are always
small. The drummers from the north,
however, are eager for all such bets, ana
they are not at all backward about making
the wager even. There have been several
bets during the week on Michigan going
democratic. Michigan gave republican
majority Of 5000 last year, and the demo-
cratic wagers are made on the belief that
Michigans agricultural interests will make
her strongly democratic this year on
accound of the tariff ISSUE There
have been one or two two-to-one bets on
Michigan. The bets on Indiana are gen
orally on Harrison. The more daring Har-
rison men even give odds. The most Of the
betting, however, is on New York The
man who wants to drop money" on the
election in that state can find plenty of
takers either way
