HE RAISED THE CHECK.
The Merchants National Bank De-
frauded Of $17S2.

Evidently the Merchants National
Bank of this city failed to enforce the
usual rigid rule in regard to identification
i'm the case of Henry w. Cole, the man
who recently defrauded that institution
by raising check from SIS to $500. The
check, which was drawn on the First
National Bank OF Bristol was SO perfect
in every detail that 1t was thought un-
necessary to demand identification, and
vet the bank lost s17S2 by the transaction
The check raising was a most artistic
piece of work. Even the figures and star
of the perforatory machine were perfectly
initiated, the use OF acids was made so
carefully as to be undetected, and
the forgery Of the name OF Mr.. Manchcs-
ter. the cashier of the Bristol Bank, was so
well done that he could scarcely believe
that il was not his own writing.

ont the trick that had been played upon
them by the silverites they endeavored
to secure a reversal of the vote that had
kept the bill out of committee,
but as the vote had been by unanimous
consent the silver men very easily put a
stop to the tardy action of the majority.
Whether they will keep their threat
and attempt to rush the Bland bill
through ahead Of the tariff bill time
only can determine, but in view Of the
trouble the finance committee is having
in its preparation of tariff bill the
silver men can justly claim that their
program is not an obstructive one.

THE NEW DEPOT.

The Common Council last night
adopted "a resolution which commits
the city, provided the Aldermen
concur, to the acceptance of the
plans of the Consolidated road,
provided that the road builds suitable
train shed of sufficient width to cover
all the passenger tracks and platform
in accordance with plans to be ap-
proved by the Common Council.
The Common Council showed by its
action last night that it is not the desire
of the city 10 delay the road in its con-
struction of the new depot, but to
secure the new building as soon
as possible. Ii demonst, ated this very
plainly when, in the substitute amend
ment which passed., it declared that
nothing herein contained shall prevent
the immediate prosecution of work
upon the passenger station and building
above referred to-
Its insistence upon the train sheds has
been from the start simply the reflex
of public opinion in the matter. The
public needs such shelter and the city
insists upon their having it.
The city has asked nothing Of the
road that is unreasonable or that will
entail any serious expense. It has not
sought TO block the road i'm its endeavor
TO give the ci'ya new depot, but has
only sought TO have that depot made
suitable for the protection of the public
and their comfort.

oAKEs' ANSWER.

New York, Jan. 22.-Receiver OalSes
OF the Northern Pacific, gave out today
the following answer to the circular
letter issued by President Ives on Sat-
urday last:
To the stockholders of the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company: The cir
cular statement just issued by the
president of the Northern Pacific rail-
road company repeating again his YER
sion Of the affair should reach you, and
will receive prompt answer. There is
but one place where such unjust state-
ments can be met and that is in court.
These charges are about to be ex-
amined. In view of the fact that these
same matters are to be heard in court,
within few days. desire to advise
pou that any time will make a fun
and complete answer to and explana-
tion of every matter complained of.

the place for which Hornblower was
rejected Peckham is president Of the

The nomination sent Senator Hin
hurry7ng ABOUT the floor OF the senate
in lively style. He was quickly in
consultation wioh the members of the
juUel@ry committee, VINO win pass upon
the nomination before it is reported to
the senate. The indications are strong
that the nomination will be opposed
upon the same grounds as Hornblower
was. Pecknam is independent in pol
itics, ana is said to have bolted the
nomination OF Hill for Governor in
1885 and 1883. The New York senators
were not consulted by the president in
making the selection. Peckham first
became prominent during the Tweed
trial. when he was associate counsel on
behalf OF the city. He never held office
before, except that of District Attorney,
in New YORK, to which position he was
appointed by Governor Cleveland.
