BOSTON, November 3O.-Sinee Edward
Cunningham, the Milton millionaire, was
shot down on the 21st inst by poachers
who had invaded his estate the police
have been actively searching the Ital-
ian quarters of Boston for the muir
derer or murderers. Some ten arrests
have been made, all told, but the evidence
was very light, and it was felt by the Boston
police, in particular, that the right man had
not been found. Tonight, however, two ar
rests were made, and one of the arrested men
freely and fully recited the circumstances
of the murder, fixing the crime upon his
companion, Giusseppi De Lucca, young
italian tailor resident in South Boston.
There was third man in the party that
went cunning in Milton that day, and he
will be arrested also within few hours, for
the police are hot upon his trail.
The name of the man who has confessed
is for obvious reasons withheld by the
police His story is that they were on afhS
Cunningham estate, when the old geht9Gi
man ordered them off, De Lueca, who was
the leader, replied in an Insulting
manner, whereupon Mr.. Cunningham
set his dog upon him. The Italian
shot the dog. Mr.. Cunningham, undeterred,
and not suspecting the fate which awaited
him, undertook to disarm De Lucca, but the
latter drew a revolver and shot the million

died. A big reward was offered by the town

The process begins with the gatherer. His
blowpipe is tube of wrought iron five or
six feet long, and of lighter weight than the
pipe used m blowing window glass. he dips
the end of his pipe into the molten contents
Of the boot, and brings out mass of redhot
plastic glass. If the bottles to be
blown are small, one gathering sufices,
but, for larger wares, two or even
three gatherings may be necessary to get the
requisite supply of material on the END OF
the blowpipe. When the gathering is done
properly, this lump of red hot glass IS
perfectly homogeneous mass. Its suDse-
quent fortunes rest with the blower. He
takes the blowpipe from the gatherer, and,
resting the plastic glass against maryerlng
table Of stone or cast iron, he gives the
pipe few adroit rotations, thus fashioning
the glass into an even cylindrical shape. By
further rolling it along the edge OF the table
ne forms the smaller prolongation OF glass
which is afterward to become the neck OF
the bottle. Lifting the still red-hot glass
from the table. he blows through the pipe,
lormlng small bubble OF air IN the intsriOr
of the mass Of glass. This is afterward ex-
tended until it becomes the inwardness OF
the bottle.
The partly fashioned bit of glassware is
now introduced into the mold which one OF
the shop boys has already opened to re-
celye it. For convenience in working. the
mold is placed on a somewhat, lower level
than that on which the blower stands. 1t is
made of cast iron, and is commonly formed
in two pieces. One of these is stationary,
while the other opens outward, its
motion being controlled by q foot lever.
When the'blower places his incomplete bot
tie, still attached to the blowpipe, into the
mold, he closes the mold with his foot, and
blows through the pipe until the plastic
glass is everywhere forced against the sides
OF the mold and has impressed upon 1t the
form of its nrison.

FINANCIAL POLICY.
The Treasury Department viii Withdraw
Public Money From the National
Observation-Disclosures 20 That
Effect From secrernFy


Eneet From secrerRry
Window.
WASHINGTON, November 3O.-The fol-
lowing announcement was made public this
afternoon: The Secretary of the Treasury
has decided to reduce the number of Ma
tional bank depositaries and the amounts
of public moneys kept Herewith.
1t is intended to make this reduction In
such 3 manner as to avoid as far as possible
any disturbance to the business of the coun-
try. & transfer to the Sub-Treasury on or
before January 10, 1890, OF about 10 per
cent. OF their holdings of public moneys will
be required from banks having In active ac-
counts about10 per cent of the surplus held
by them over and above the amonnt needed
for the convenience of the public service; or,
If the banks wish to sell to the Government
the bonds furnished as security for these de-
posits the Secretary will purchase them and
retain from the proceeds of sale the amount
which otherwise would have to be de-
posted as above stated, sending checks to
the bank for the residue
Other calls will be made from time to
time, but always with due regard to the
business interests, until the public moneys
with the banks shall have been reduced to
the amount needed for current public busi-
ness, and the money withdrawn will be used
for the purchase of United States bonds.
Banks desiring to dispose of the entire
amount OF bonds furnished as securities for
public deposits will not, of course, be linn
tied to the 10 per cent transfer of the first
CALL.
In conversation with the Secretary, he ex-
planned that the phrase "banks having
active accounts refers to the national banks
with which the Government, through its pub
lie officers in various parts of the country,
transacts current business by depositing
Government revenues from time to time and
drawing upon them through checks of dis
bursting officers. "Surplus banks" are those
designated by Secretary Fairchild solely as
depositaries for portions of the Treasury
surplus. The total amount of the Govern
ment deposits in banks of both these classes
is now about S47, 900, 600.
The ordinary amount of public funds dis
tributed among all the depositaries has been
from SIC, 600, 900 to S15, 900, 600, but ran up.
in 1887 to about $40, 900, 600. In response to
a question, Secretary Window further said
that the rates at which bonds will be pur-
chased from the banks desiring to dispose of
them to the Government will be the rates
fixed and paid to the public by the Treasury
on the date at which any individual bank
may notify the department of its desire to
sell them. The work of sending out
notices to the banks, some 266 in number,
was begun to-day, and a large number of
letters were mailed this evening.
