ALBANY. Feb. estate Superintend-
ent of Banks Preston was asked this
morning what he had to say concerning
the presentation of a petition from the
.depositors of the wrecked Commercial
Bank. of Brooklyn, which was presented
in the Senate yesterday. and which calls

Preston's Investigation of said bank prior
to it's insolvency. He said:
This is the same old fight which these
people have been carrying on against
this Department, and myself personally,
ever since the bank went under. They
first entered the courts with their case,
but were beaten there. They next APP
pealed to the Executive of the State,
and once more this Department was eX-
onerated,
Not satisfied with losing their case
before two constitutional branches of the
State Govcrnment-the Judicial and the
Executive-they now appeal to the third
the Legislative. Well. let the ~investi-
CATION be had. II the Legislature so de-
cides. The state Banking Department
is at all times open for inspection. We
have nothing to conceal, we fear nothing
from an investigation"
The petition by Senator Bradley re-
poses at present in the Committee on
Banks.

ELLIOTT WANTS A WRIT.
Board of Supervisors Counsel After
Papers Held by M]eycnbOrR.

Justice Smith, in the Supreme Court,
Brooklyn. this morning. heard an argu-
ment on an application for a writ of
mandamus to compel John b. Meyen-
borg. ex-counsel to the Board Of Super
visors of Kings County, to deliver the
books and papers of his office to George
F. Elliott, the new counsel.
Col. Meyenborg's case was argued by
John H. kemblo. who moved to dismiss
the application on the ground that the
office was not a public one in the mean
ing of the statute. He said h the
Board simply hired one man to do it's
law business, and alleged that Elliott
had no standing in court, as he was not
a public officer.
He urged that while the Board could
apply for the substitution of Elliott as
Its counsel. that wrong steps had been
taken in the case.
Counsellor Breckenridge, representing
George F. Elliott. said that his client
was regularly appointed as Col. Meyen-
borG's successor, and that the office was
a public one, as its incumbent is paid a
salary out OF the pubic funds.
Justice Smith reserved decision.

Death of Mrs. W. 3. Musgrove.'

Quite an excitement prevailed at Car
son last Saturday conc rniug the sudden
death of Mrs. W. X. Musgrove, a lady
we'll known and mnch respected, and it
beca e more intense when the fact was
made known of her having committed
suicide. The deceased lady has lived in
this State since 1859. -Four years ago
last August her eldest daughter, Mary,
committed suicide. Two months after
ward Mrs. Musgrove was stricken with
blindness, and since that time she grad
ually fretted her life away, her constant
talk having been relative to taking one's
life, and she has been in the habit II
taking laudanum and other opiates.
deceased had evidently long contem-
plated suicide, and the deadly potion,
which was lardanum and chloroform,
she had no doubt secreted where she
could lay her hands on it. She must
have takeh it sometime during the aight
while her daughter, and her husband
were asleep. 1t is q sad taking off, but
who shall dare to say that the poor wo-
man was wrong in throwing off a pain
ful and to her miserable life? She now
knows the great secret, ami the hope ex-
pressed should be, may she rest in peace
