THE BANK STATEMENT.

Saturday, Aug, 29-p M
By the operations of the New-York Suo-Ireas-
ury in the week ended last night. which
included deposits of S2,459DoO for shipment TO
other places, the associated banks lost 80, 74O,77S
There were some liberal receipts OF money from
nearby places, so that the net movement of money
between New-York and the interior was not es-
timated to indicate serious loss. The weekly
statement of the associated banks again fairly
consistent in the changes in the several items and
the loss in cash reported may be accepted as
fair reflection of the normal averages. The ex-
hibt, however, is open to the criticism that it
gives no explanation of the neglect Of recent
statements fully to register the drain Of cash to
the interior, and therefore it may be assumed
that the actual condition Of the banks IS not SO
favorable as indicated by the average system. The
result Of the changes is reduction of 81 ,341 ,075
in surplus reserve, which is $12 2767 1885, against
deficit Of $536,e75 in the corresponding week
of 500, and surplus of 81, ,7o0.775 in 1889.

A WEE CHILD IN AN INCUBATOR.
An Interesting Patient at the Babies Hos
pital,

An Interesting Patient at the Babies Hos
pital.
In one of the wards of the Babies Hospital at
657 Lexington avenue, says the New York Times,
baby, born prematurely, is thriving in an in
cubator. The expectation is that the child will
emerge from the incubator in about two weeks
about as well equipped to enter upon the strug-
gle forexstence as is the ordinary weakly in
FAINT
The incubator is a box about three feet long
and eighteen inches wide. There is shelf in
the box, which serves as the foundation for the
thick bed of soft cotton upon which the child
lies. Over the box is placed glass cover, one
end of which is slightly raised by bit of wood
for the purpose Of giving ventilation. The heat
is supplied through tin tube about three
inches in diameter, and is obtained from kero-
sene lamps, which are kept burning day and
night, regulated as to the amout of flame by
thermometers inside the incubator. The inten-
ton is to keep the temperature inside the in
cubator at % degrees.
Stretching, twisting, rolling and squirming
the infant whose life the hospital people have
undertaken to save il passing comfortably
| through the period Of incubation, and while at
| first sight of him one is somewhat shocked at
his meaSerness and skinnincss. he gradually
gazes at him cOntentedly. impressed and reas-
sured by the history of his case related by the
| hospital physician and his nurse.
The little boy was born about two months in
| advance OF the proper time. and his mother
died just as he came into the world. Had he
| at once been placed in incubator there
would have been no doubt that he would do
well. Bnt friend OF the boys mother under
took to bring him up and kept him in her
care for four weeks. When she turned him
| over to the Babies Hospital he weighed but
three pounds and was terribly emaciated. 1t
was decided at once that there was but one
way to save the little fellows life. and that
was TO put him into an incubator.
The boy has steadily improved. He takes his
milk twelve times a day, part of it from the
| bottle and part of it from the breast and he
enjoys every mouthful When he came to the
hospital he had practically but one lung; the
other had collapsed. Today the collapsed lung
| has become sc-yiceable again.
| 1t seems almost too much to believe. but
there is a probability that the helpless pitiable
atom in the box may develop into a strong,
| handsome man. The nurse says that her charge
may some day be the President Of the United
States.

with all this talk about the seal fisheries,
1t may not be uninteresting," said Joseph 8.
Roberts Of st. Louis, at the Hotel Imperial
last night, ''to say something about the fur
market. st. Louis is by far the greatest fur
market in the United States and il especially
strong on coon skins. One buyer told me last
week that SO far he had bought Is, 600 skins and
the season had just fairly begun. These skins
cone from the surrounding country There
are also good many skunk, muskrat, 'possum,
mink and gray foxskins to be had.
1.-The skunk has the heaviest fur Of any ami
NAL in the country, and is consequently valua-
BILE and salable, although the pelt is SO small.
The fearful odor that Is SO much talked about
as clinging to the skunk is very easily gotten
rid of. Most Of our skins from this country go
to Europe, where a grea. sale is held three
times o year. One of these sales has lust been
finished and at it was disposed of LIS. 900 coon,
700 600 muskrat, los, 900 skunk, IS, 600 opossum,
5000 mink and 1000 gray fox skins, all of
which were Shipped from this country You
probably know that for years all the seaIskins
were dressed in London. although this wear.
it. The seal fur in its natural state is gray but
when plucked-that is when the long hairs are
pulled out-resembles a faded buffalo robe and
then comes the dysing.
THE newspapers cannot too strongly urge
upon the government the ACCESSIBILITY of letting
the seals alone for four or five years. Ninety
per cent OF the skins brought into market the
past season have been those of females. This
must stop or very soon the entire race will be
DESTROYED"

Guarding Miss Potts EOdv.

Asbury Park, N. j., is thoroughly aroused
over the tragic death of Miss Helen Potts. the
daughter of Railroad Contractor Geo. H. Potts.
who died at the Comstock fashionable boarding
school in New York city on Sunday last. 1t is
reported that the remains of Miss Potts were
not buried, although grave had been pre-
pared for them, but that the body was placed
in n vanlt. This was done under instructions
from Coroner Schultz of New York. who had
charge of the case. Eir. Potts is almost dis
tracted with grief and refuses to believe that
his daughter is dead. He has ordered that the
casket be left open and has placed guard CT
spect the remains so that if the girl should
awaken her life would be saved. Developments
from New York in the matter are anxiously
awaited.

FIREMEN's WONDERFUL ESCAPE.
They Are Buried Under a Mass of Ruins
but Arc Not Fatally Hurt

fire last night destroyed an unoccupicd
building in Hill street, Norfolk. While seven
of the members of engine company No. 2, as
sisted by citizens, were fighting the fire on the
second floor, the rear wall fell in, carrying with
it the floor, and precipitasing the party to the
floor below, burying them in the mass of ruins
They we're all soon rescued.
The injured are: JEFF Robins, captain, cut
about the head; W. II. Jacques, assistant cap
tain, arm broken in two places and head cut;
Joe West, arm broken in two places. head cut
and legs bruised: Ned Witt. cut about the head
and shoulder bruised: Harry Parker, head cut
in three places, back badly hurt and shoulder
dislocated Martin Ryan. cut across the nose
and body badly bruised; A. Powell leg cut;
Milo Holman, citizen, badly bruised about the
shoulders.
The men were taken to neighboring offices
and several doctors were quickly on the spot
attending the injured men, who are doing well.
The escape from death of the whole party was
almost miraculous. The loss is $4,000.

MRS. SHIELDS RESIDENCE.
The design Of Mrs. Shields residence at the
corner Of 18th and o streets is notable in more
than one particular. Its distinguishing char
acteristic is, perhaps, a homelike air. The
treatment of this great mass Of brick and stone
to produce such result is marked by SIM
plicity and an absence Of all useless Ornamental
ton The large double house is built in a sub
stantial and honest manner from the rock-faced
stone foundation to the ridge pole of the high
retreating roof. Brick is the principal material
used, although stone is introduced with good
effect The central feature of the generous
front is the square porch at the main en-
trance. handsome brick arch resting upon
stone pillars forms the front of the porch.
Above the same design is carried out in the
square pediment, which rises higher than the
slope of the roof. On the right of the main
entrance the corner is marked by handsome
tower, which is carried I'D above the roof limo
and is finished with gracefully pointed roof
On the left Of the porch is a square projection,
which is continued to the third story and is
finished with an open balcony. The D street
front has also a rounded projection. A broad
sign is in effective harmony with the general
style of the building and enriches the
exterior without marring the ele-
CANT simplicity. The interior is
one Of the most spacious that is found in any
residence in the city. There is a wide entrance
hall which leads into a roomy staircase hall.
from which the various rooms open. From the
entrance hall there is an opening into the re-
ception room The approach to the parlor is
from the staircase hall and is therefore shielded
from the drafts which are apt to be rather an
unpleasant incident of social entertainments,
especially to the ladies of the receiving party
The decorations of the wall are in original de-
signs and are fine illustrations of the modern
style. All the rooms are of generous proper
tons, a feature seldom found in city houses
Mr.. Chas. Edmonston was the builder and his
nephew prepared the plans.

GEN. RAUM ENUMERATED.
The Majority Report Of the Investigating
Committee Agreed Upon.


Committee Agreed Upon.
The majority report Of the Raum investigat-
ing committee, which exonerates Mr.. Raum,
was formally agreed to by the republicans Of
the committee. 1t says there is nothing at all
in the charge that Mr.. Raum interested EN-.
ployes Of the pension Office in refrigerator
stock, and as to the charge that Mr.. Lemon
had an undue influence over the commissioner
the committee find it to be true that Mr.. Lemon
did, on February Z. 1890, indorse two of Mr.
Raum's notes, amounting to s12.000-not
SIS, 200; that Mr.. Lemon, who had known Mr..
Raum for twenty-five years. regarded him as
perfectly responsible. and that Mr. Raum vol
UNFAIRLY gave Mr.. Lemon mining stock Of the
par value of 100000 ,, collateral for tie pay
ment of the notes.
At the time of Iaaking such Endorsement. the
report says, Mr.. Lemon had no assurance and
no lntimation even that the completed files
order had been or would be issued. The COM
mittee examined at length the history Of this
order. and find that there is no evidence to
show any fayoritism to Mr.. Lemon or any
other attorney. The committee, the report
says, believes that the certificate Of any attor-
ney. upon honor, that a case is complete is en-
titled to some consideration when II is remem-
bered that all pension attorneys are admitted
upon the certification Of tho Secretary Of the
Interior, he being satisfied OF the character, in
tegrity, and ability OF the applicant.

How a Car Got Away.

FROM the LeauSilIe herald anu democrat
Engineers Jack West, Bill Gordon and ok
Sprung yesterday were talking about old times
and the experience they had on different roads,
when Jack told the following:
1T is not necessary to give the name of the
road on which l was running. but let me say it
was for several miles as crooked a piece of
track as / ever Travelled over. One day we
started out with forty-seven freight carr. and
when we reached our destination we had only
forty-six. No car had been switched, and the
affair was mystery. The conductor and his
crew were fired. and for two DAYS no one knew
where the missing car was. On the second day
the superintendent received letter from the
agent near the worst curve on the road. stating
he had found the missing car lying in the ditch.
We were going over the line at pretty good
rate of speed, and the train broke in two,
the missing car jumped the track. the
rear section overlook the first section, bump
ing into it with just force enough to jar the
coupling pin, which had remained up when the
train broke, into place, and We pulled into the
station as we thought with full train

BATTLING WITH BANDITS.
The Famous Montelongo Killed by the Ha-
vana Police.


The police Of Havana recently received in
formation that several bandits had taken pas
sage on the Spanish steamer Baldomero Iglesias
at that port with the intention of making their
escape on her to Aspiuwall. The officers at
once prepared to capture the bandits and pro-
ceeded to the place where the steamer was
lying. When the bandits saw the police force
approaching they decided to resist arrest and
opened fire on the officers. The latter returned
the fire and fierce battle ensued. The bullets
flew thick and fast and the passengers on the
steamer were thrown into a great panic and
the widest excitement prevailed on the vessel
while the fighting was in progress. The strug
gle lasted for some time. but the police finally
gained possession of the steamer. 1t was then
found that three of the bandits, including the
famous Montelongo, were dead. Montelongo,
seeing that further resistance was useless, had
Jumped into the sea and attempted to make his
escape by swimming TO the shore. The officers
noticed this, however, and fired on him in the
water. The shots were well directed and the
noted outlaw. mortally wounded, soon sank be-
meath the waves. Another of the bandits was
captured. The loss to the policemen was light
only two of them being injured.

Richmond Terminal and Il. and O,

There Is considerable talk in railway circles
about possible alliance between the Richmond
Terminal and the Baltimore and Ohio railway
systems. The Baltimore and Ohio has been
preparing to build line from Linden, on the
Metropolitan branch, across the Potomac to
connection with the Virginia Midland little
south Of Alexandria, but SO far no work has
been done beyond getting some rights of way.
A Baltimore special says: 1t is learned that
the Baltimore and Ohio will soon be on as equal
a footing in the south as in the west with the
Pennsylvania. The railroads interested in the
new deal are the Baltimore and Ohio, the Read
ing Jersey Central, Richmond Terminal and
Louisville and Nashville.
