powered to act by the board and could make
settlement tomorrow. 1 would prefer 10 wait
however, until Mr.. Busch returns. OF course.

they would GO would have to be ratified by MIR
Busch The propositions submitted by Mr..
busch are informal and not definite They
would have to be discussed. There are some
Things IN them which don't think the board

been effected with Mr.. Busch on the occasion
OF MS former visit to st. Louis but for the fact
that Mr. Busch is hampered by his connection

Marsh Thought to Be in Jamaica.

The fugitive bank wrecker, Gideon P. Marsh
Of Philadelphia, was seen In Kingston, ia
maica, SO says Capt George r. Williams Of the
fruiting schooner Elizabeth. He says that be-
tween the 18th and 23d OF June he met man
in a tavern in that place who, he is confident
from picture he has just seen, is Marsh, and
who answered to his description closely in
every respect. He said that the man appeared
to take great interest in the Keystone Bank
matters, and when asked expressed the opinion
that ''the man who is shrewd enough to collar
all the money he is said to have taken, and to
have escaped safely from philadelphia will
always find some place of security out OF the
reach or the police and detectives" The man
the captain said, called himself Alexander How,
ard, and sent him word a day or two later
that he had been Unexpectedly called to Rio

drum corps and the long rolf was soon heard
resounding through the camp. In a second 8
time all was din and confusion. Mai. Bartlett,
partly dressed, sword III hand, rushed from his
tent, and, assisted by the adjutant, added to
the excitement by giving hurried orders and
rushing here and there, getting the companies
out and in position. Capt. Eassetts company
being on the lett was nearest to the point OF at
tack and was dcployed in front OF and between
the attacking party and the camp, with Capt.
Walkers company to support him. Capts.

position on the east side Of the camp and de-
ploy as to guard against the possibility OF a

camp not being exposed. After all the com-
panies mad been placed in position Capt. Bassett
was ordered to advance his line and ascertain
the exact location and strength of the enemy,
as they had fallen back under cover Of

A squad of eight men, under Adjt Mcdowell,

Smith, were sent ahead to reconnoiter, and at

denounced the course that the officers on the

unquestionably the finest collection of
valuable works of art eyer shown in
Pittsburg, and has never been surpassed
as a whole, anywhere in this country.
Application has frequently been made
the owners of these valuable canvasses
in the past to loan them, but the re-
quest has always been denied. Having
given consent in the present instance is
ample evidence of the esteem in which
the Exposition is held by the represen-
tative men of the two cities. This
feature alone is worth ten times the
price of admission charged. 1t has
been suggested by many friends of the
Exposition that separate admission
should be asked to the Art Department
, over and above the regular entrance fee,
but the managers persistently refused
to do so. Their action in not doing so
cannot be too highly commended, and
it has been positively determined to
make the price of admittance to the
entire display, including the Art De
partment, at the old figure, twenty five
cents. The Exposition is booming, and
this will be its most prosperous year,
and every one who can should certainly
improve the opportunity to visit it be-
lore it closes. HARRIS.
