An order issued by the board OF SUI
pervisors of Washington county, Miss,
20 County Treasurer q. i. Alexander,
that he produce instanter the funds of
the county in his hands and in those OF
his deputies for actual count, was the
cause of an unusual spectacle being
presented TO the people of Greenville,
that of $1,000 mostly in silver, being
loaded upon Il dray and carted TO the
new courthouse along the thorough
fares of the city. The cash was prompt
ly furnished by the local banks acting
as Mr. Alexander's depositors. A count
of the funds evinced the absolute ac-
curacy of the treasurcr's accounts.

THE PANAMA SCANDAL.

Important Evidence Furnished by Charles
DE LessepS-important Persons Com
promlsed-Military and Police Precau-
tions to Prevent "A Popular Outbreak.
PARIS, Jan. 10.--Charles de Lesseps
has given to Nj. Franqueville- exam
ming magistrate, pocketbOok in
which he kept notes concerning the re-
lations of the canal company to many
public men. The notes are in cipher,
but NJ. de Lcsseps has added Il key with
which all have been translated. The
consequent evidence is exceptionally
important. 1t shows conclusively the
connection OF many senators and depu-
ties with the Illegal operations of the
company. Two cele brated writer's on
economic and international questions
and two ex-ministers are said to be
among those compromised.
Although Gen. Saussier has taken
all precautions to prevent street dem
onstratiOns and the ranks in the Paris
garrison are kept out, an effort will be
made to avoid anything like public
display OF troops. At the reassemb bling
Of the chamber to-day probab bly, fewer
troops even than usual will be seen in
the streets. The men have received
special orders, moreover, to take ex-
ceptional pains to avoid street or saloon
rows with civilians in order that the
anarchists and socialists may have no
excuse TO incite tumult and popular
demonstrations against the military.
Similar instructions have been given to
to the police. Otherwise both police
and military are under no exceptional
orders

SUNK BY THE ICE.
The Steamer Mary Houston Sunk by the
Ice in the Ohio River at Cincinnati.

The Steamer Mary Houston Sunk by the
Ice in the Ohio River at Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI, O., Jan. 10-Thc pala-
tial steamer Mary Houston. tied up at
the foot of Main street, unable longer
to withstand the terrible crush of ice
against her, commenced TO siulS at ? p.
m. yesterday. The Houston lay moored
at the company's wharf, several feet
away from it, when an immense ice
foe came down the river and struck
her on the side. The shock was ter
rife one, and drove the steamer with
force against the wharfboat, sending
it heavily against the bank. For few
minutes it was impossible to tell what
damage had been done. and there were
fears that both the steamer and the
wharfboat had been wrecked. Then
the Houston settled back, and imme-
diately the rush of water into her hold
could be heard. The pumps were
manned and every effort made to keep
her on top of the water, but the task
was useless. At o'clock last evening
she settled down, gave Il plunge for
ward and sank to the bottom of the
river. The Houston was one of the
largest and finest steamers in the New
Or!eans-Cincinnati trade. The loss is
$40, 900: insurance Sl5, 900. -

THE PApAL SUCCESSION.

Pope Leo. NH Creates a Sensation nv
Virtually Nominating His Successor to
the Papacy in the Person of Cardinal
Serafno NGnnutelli-Thc Prelate Sent to
Bologna as Archbishop-Leo's sugges-
tive Words.
ROME, Jan. 10. A sensation has been
caused here by the letter of Pope Leo
to the people of Bologna. in which the
pontiff states that in nominating Car
dinal Serafno Vannutell to be arch
bishop of Bologna he had obeyed the
divine inspiration. The unusual dec
laration on the part of the pope is re-
garded as tantamount to designating
Cardinal Vannutelli as his successor to
the pontificate. The pope is also re-
ported to have remarked: "Vannuteli
goes to Bologna a cardinal, and will re-
turn a pope" The letter of the pom
tiff also removes the perplexity which
the nomination of Vannutelli to be
archbishop of Bologna has caused, some
regarding it as an exile from Rome
Cardinal Vannutelli was born at Gen.
neazo in the Campagna di Roma, No.
vember 20. 1884, and was created cardi-
nal March IA, 1887. He has been ap-
pointed nuncio at Brussels and at
Vienna, and is a brother of the cele-
brated Cardinal Vincenze Vannutelli
ex-nuncio at Lisbon, who has a high
reputation as diplomatist. Cardinal
Seratino Vannutelli has lately held the
post OF secretary of momerats and of
the grand chancellory of orders 1t is
understood that the pope desired him,
some time ago, to accept the post of
secretary of state, which Vannutelli
did not care to take. Cardinal Sera-
tino Nannutelli has for some time been
prominently mentioned in connection
with the papal succession, and is sup
ported by an influential ecclesiastical
parties, with whom, it is believed, Pope
Leo is in sympathy. BY sending Van
nutelii to Bologna ne is removed from
the intrigues of Rome and his friends
will have free field to la Dor in behalf
of his candidatGre
