Silver Dollars Missing.

Some irregularity has been discovered in
connection with the transfer of silver dollars
from the mint at New Orleans to Washing
ton for storage in the large new vault in the
court yard of the treasury building, which
has resulted in the loss of 81 500. The loss
was discovered but did not become known
outside the department. until later. Treasury
officials refuse to speak of the matter, and
very little is known beyond the facts already
stated. The silver is shipped by the Adams
Express company, and the loss will probably
fall upon it unless it can be proved that the
packagescontainingt the money were tempered
with before they came into its possession.
The money is shipped in wooden boxes con-
tanning two canvas bags with $l 900 in
each bag. The boxes are carefully sealed be-
fore they leave the mint for delivery to the
express company, and are carefully guarded
from that time until their delivery at the
treasury department. They are therefore
under surveillance from the time they
leave the mint until they are delivered
to the agents of the United States treasury
The shipments average $500 900 day, and
the silver already placed in the vault amount
to over thirty million dollars. All this coin
was brought from Philadelphia and New
Orleans, but mostly from the frst-named
city. The shipments from New Orleans
were begun only a few weeks ago, and it is
in these that the discrepancies occurred. So
lar as known, only Two boxes were tam
pered with. In one of them the entire con-
tents of one fthe bags, amounting to 81 900,
were removed and replaced with bird shot. In
the other box, only about half the contents
of one of the bags, or about $500, was taken,
and shot and pieces of lead were substituted.
The robbery was not discovered until the
bags were weighed at the treasury The
scales weighing the silver overbalanced when
these bags were placed on them, and a hur-
ried examination of their contents disclosed
the fraud which had been perpetrated These
bags were parts of different consignments
and are believed to be all that have been
robbed. The agent of the express company
was at once notified, aud the treasurer re-
fused to accept the bags A treasury official
says that the loss SO lar does not exceed the
amount stated, and that the responsibility
for it rests entirely between the express com
pany and the officials at New Orleans who
handled these particular boxes.

An American who has just returned
from Spain brings some interesting,
gossip concerning the infant king of
that country. 1t seems that his
miniature majesty has but one great
passion, which is, strangely enough,
bologna sausage. Whenever he sees
this unromantic edible he can hardly
be restrained. Stretching forth his
baby hand in an imperious way, he
e1claims: ellis majesty wishes it,
But his minister of the interior takes
care that his majesty doesn't get it.
Alfonso is extremely jealous Of his
mother, and whenever they appear
IN public it makes him angry to have
the people applaud her. He has a
great bump of egotism, that young
ster.

The Casualty Calendar.

The workmen engaged in excavating the
ruins of the late fire at Rochester, N. T., came
upon ghastly find in the southeast corner
OF the ruins. Under machinery and debris of
all kinds was found u heap of what were once
human forms, crushed by the weight which
was rested upon them for days. 1t is impos-
sible as yet to ascertain how many bodies
there are. Three have already been recovered
and there We're evidently several more near
by. Later five other bodies were found in a
bunch where they had evidently gone down
to death together. The record stands, dead,
twenty-one, sixteen bodies being takeu out
of the ruins and five dying from their injuries.
There are twelve still missing, supposed to be
still covered up There seems to be no doubt
that the death list will number thirty-three.

A Michigander in Germany.

About three years ago A. l.. Bressler, son
for pleasure and to study the army. AZ
took with him abroad letter of introd. Is
ton to United States Minister Pendleton at
Berlin, and also a letter from the secretary
OF war, attesting that Bressler was Interested
in army matters While student at Ann
Arbor he Joined the state militia and was
elected second lieutenant. He procured
two or three uniforms of his rank
and word came back that he was
cutting quite q swath in German arm circles
with his fine military clothes and bearing, the
generous display of wealth and the letters he
had with him from prominent government;
officials and citizens of the United States. It
was understood in Detroit THAT Mr. Bressler,
ST., allowed his son 5000 month for the ex-
penses OF his foreign trip; also that young
Bressler was engaged in writing book on
military affairs. The report from Munich
that he had been arrested there for making
false representations and neglecting to pay
divers bills is a great surprise, not onk(Ito
the members of his family but to all his ac-
quaintances, and furthermore the charge is
not believed. The general impression among
ms friends and military men, is that he has
been arrested as a spy. The material in his
possession would very thoroughly confirm
such a suspicion and be valuable to an I'M
friendly power. He was keeping very min
ute memoranda of all he saw and heard the
method and plans of the military depart.
