the sub-treasury Thursday against
shipments to be made from Washing

making total of $l,4l5.OOo since Fri
day. The movement has now set in in

around. Bankers anticipate consider
able advance in the rate for call money,
as the shipments to the west continue
to absorb the surplus at this center
Fortunately the surplus reserve of
the New York banks is large,
amounting, according to last Satur-
days bank statement, to S18. 4S9, 1875.
Estimates of the total amount of money
to be shipped to the interior by sum.
mer and fall range from $40, 900. 600 to
s30,000,O00. This will draw all the
surplus reserves from the city banks
and will drain the country banks and
the trust companies as we'll. Last year
something over $35, 600. 900 was shipped.

MASSACHUSETTS is excited over white
caps and Long Island is up in arms
hunting for wild bandit who defies
all law. Tie east and the west must
indeed be exchanging places Years
ago the west was the home of the cv-

white caps. But now it is the center of
culture and the highest form of benevo-

located near Boston, to designate it as
the Hub of the universe. The white

let entered the check, ranged upward

Gle. With the blood flowing
from the wound Anderson, who was a
man of iron nerve, went behind the
counter, threw out the four old shells,
and put four new cartridges in the re-
volver. He fired one shot into the floor
to see if the cartridges were all
right and then came from behind
the counter and sat down in chair.
His wife on Bonded knees in a
pool of blood begged him not to
take his life, and while he sat
stern and resolute, asking his wife not
to interfere with him. beautiful little
girl-his daughter-also knelt by his
side and with childish pleadings inter-
mingled with sobs implored her father
not to kill himself. Without uttering
a word Anderson held the revolver to
the right of the left nipple and fred,
falling back on the floor dead man,
shot through the heart
