The Trial OF the TAYLOR Brothers.

Carrollton, Mo-, July 30.--In the Taylor
trial today the first witness was William
McClanahan, whose testimony was more
favorable to the'state than to the defense.
He confirmed the evidence given by state
witnesses as to the Taylors narrowing
over the wagon tracks made by the Tay
lors on their return from the alleged muir
derous expedition. James G. Taylor.
father of the prisoners, was the next wit
ness. He denied that there was blood on
the wagon the morning following the muir
der. When asked how the wagon bed
had been burned, he said ii probably
caught fire from sparks from a fire used
In the yard for boiling soap On cross
examination, he became excited and con-
tradicted himself badly, and made state
ments entirely at variance with his tes-
timony at the first trial. Mrs. Matte Van
Wye and her daughter. formerly neigh
bors of the Taylors, were both on the
stand. They testified that Bill Taylor was
at the Bank of Browning on the night
the murder was committed. George Tay-
ior one of the defendants, on the stand
recited the doings OF himself and his
brother on the day before and on the day
succeeding the murders. He testified that
he was at homo on the night of the muir
der Next morning boy told him of the
finding OF the bodies of the murdered fam
lily, and his brother then fed. William +.
TAYLOR succeeded his brother on the
stand. but nothing OF Importance was ellie
tied from him. The defense so far has
strengthened it's case, and will probably
rest when William Taylor concludes to-
morrow.

The warrant was given 20 Glasscock

requested the officer 20 allow him 10 enter
a closet for a moment The permission
was granted. Scullin entered and the min
utes rnarshaIed themselves into a quarter
Of an hour. and then the officer looked
into the closet. but the bird had flown
out OF a window.
Giasscock learned that Scullin had fed
toward Madrona park and plunged into
the woods In that direction and hunted
the prineval forest for hours but could
not find the fugitive. lie returned 10 the

BANK FAILURES.
West Superior. Wis. Has Lost Three
I'm sixty DAYS.

IN sixty DayS.
West Superior, Wis. July 3o.-The Key
stone National bank closed its doors this
morning. 1t was considered one of the
strongest I'm the city. The immediate
cause of the trouble was the closing OF
the Superior bank last Saturday, which
caused a run on the keystone National.
The bank has suffered a heavy decline
in recent months. The deposits have
fallen from s2s0.0o0. as shown by the state
ment of May s, TO about s17s,oG0 at the
close of business yesterday. This condi-
ton or affairs, together with the inabiii-
~ to make collections, necessitated the
closing OF the bank. c. II. Brush, the
national bank examiner. took charge.
The bank stockholders will take imme-
date steps to reorganize. There were
slight runs on some of the other banks
in the city, but IL is thought that every
thing has quieted down now. This makes
three banks to have closed within the last
sixty days.
Denver. July 3o.-Joseph T. Albert ma
tonal bank examiner for the district of
Colorado, arrived in Denver today and
took charge of the affairs of the Union
National bank. 1t is thought that the ex-
aminer will be in position to pay con-
siderable dividends to depostors at the
end OF about ninety days. There were
upwards of 100000 cash in the vaults
when the doors were closed yesterday
and in addition. a considerable amount is
due from other banks. which will, of
course. be speedily collected. 1t is re-
iterated with emphasis that the bank will
pay dollar for dollar, without having to
make levy on stockholders. The city
has $4,000 In the bank. the county about
$40 600 and the state $4,000.

APPROPRIATION TOO SMALL.
Soldiers Unpaid Because Democrats
Wanted to show Econmy.

Washington City. July 30.-On Febru-
airy IL congress passed an act repeating
the law retaining 81 per month from the
pay OF soldiers during the first year or
their enlistment 1t failed, however, TO
make an appropriation to meet the DIFF
ference, and as a result there was
deficiency OF $4,000 in the budget of the
army establishment for the last fiscal
year. The effect of this was TO ielay the
payment OF amounts due to number or
officers on regular and detached service
and OF the men at a number OF posts Tor
the month OF July last, and they will be
compelled TO await an appropriation by
congress before they can get the money
due them fer that month.
The appropriations for the pay OF the
army for the fiscal year 1885 were made
on the same general line as those for the
preceding year, and the prospect Is that
there will be deficiency approximating
sao0.o00 for the present year. Congress
at It's last session also put wagoners. ar
tifcers, musicians. etc. on the same foot
ing regarding pay on re-enlistment as the
men of the army. but failed to make an
appropriation TO meet the extra outlay.
This will increase the estimated dehcien-
cy for the present fiscal year TO about
$50. 600
