OPENED WITH A RUSH.
The New York Legislature Reconvenes c
 Albany.


 ALBANY, Jan. 10.-The winters session of New York states legislature of 1895 was fairly opened with q swing and 8 rush. The great capitol was alight on every floor. The corridors were streaming with legislators and spectators earlier than usual at Q night session, and the elevators on both senate and assembly sides were constantly pumping up more people from the ground floor to the legislative levels. More than common interest centered in the committee announcements to be made in the assembly by Speaker Fish, and thither went the early corners until the brilliantly lighted chamber was thronged in the gallery with men and women, and until the floor behind the great brass rail was impossible.
 The appointed hour of opening passed and ten minutes moro before Mir. Fish, with his secretary, emerged from the speakers room and, attended by some ap- plause, for the first time ascended to tho speakers chair as its official occupant MT Fish was in conventional attire and wore a white rose on his lapel He took his place as though he were in haste and called the body to order.
 The senators were on hand early and talked over the prospects for the winter before the session opened. The upper house was called to order by Lieutenant Governor Saxton, anCaSthe legislative ses- sion of 1895 was launched upon its win ter's work. :,
 Among the bills introduced in the sen ate were
 By Senator Reynolds-A greater New York bill. The governor of the state. the mayor of Now York and the mayor of Brooklyn are each to appoint three con- missioners, and the two mayors are to act ex officio; $25. 900 is appropriated, and the commission is to proceed to frame char ! ter.

 In the assembly. after some routine work. Mr. Lawson's antiforeign flag bill was the first bill read under the order oi i first reading of bills.
 When the speaker handed down the list | of committee appointments, the slight ! confusion which pervaded tho chamber was suddenly hushed, and the clerk began 1 the reading of the list amid silence. Thert i were no demonstrations or audible com ments during the reading of the list Most of the important appointments ap pcared to have been anticipated, and they were listened to with apparent indiffer once
 i A large number of now bills were intro duced, none being of special importance The nominations sent to the senate by i Governor Morton were as follows:

Young New Yorker DrugEed and Robbed
 at Monte Carlo and Died at Nice.
 PARIS, Jan. l0.-A newspaper of this city announces the death at Nice of Mir Franklin Johnson, sen of the president of the First National bank of Boonville. N. Y., under suspicious circumstances The young man. 1t would seem, arrived at Nice about two weeks ago and went to Monte Carlo, wEe.G l. was piled with wine. druRged and rOliIed of over 5000. As the young man was in delicate health, the affair seems to have preyed upon his mind and is believed to have hastened his death, which occurred on Sunday last, Jan. 6.
 BooNvn.LE, N. Y, Jan. lO.-Mr. Al bert Johnson, cashier of s. c. Thompson & Go. s bank, in an interview, said that the story regarding the drugging and rob bery of his son at Nice, France, as report | cd in a Paris paper, is substantially cor
 rect. As to the details of the affair, MT. Johnson knows nothing. He is awaiting
 . letter from the United States consul at | Nice, who has been in communication with the police authorities of that place. He understands that the French police are investigating the story of the administer ing of drugs to young Johnson, with the view of ascertaining if it had anything to do with his death. K Franklin Johnson is not known to have had any American acquaintnnees at Nice | He was man of . great deal of expe

Taylor Last Seen In Chicago.

Cashier Humphrey declares that depos- itors will be paid in full as soon as the government examiner concludes his OK animation, as there is an excess of fully $60 900 in good paper besides about 10 per cent deposited in other banks The bank here is not compromised financially by Taylor's default It is stated authorita- lively that after the examination of the bank and its credit is restored it will re- organize and open up>for business.
 The worst blow falls upon Taylor and his bondsmcn, many of whom reside here and are representative and leading busi- ness men of Redfleld. Taylor was last seen in Chicago on Jan. by citizen oi this place He went from Chicago to New York, since which time no information has been received as to his whereaboU ., and it is not known whether the state or his bondsmen have boen protected in any way or not by him No hank elsewhere is involved in the default.
 Pierre banks were suspicious of Fay lor'S absence and withdrew their deposits from the bank here before the bank closed.
 The following letter was received Wednesday, under date of Jan, t, by the bank here. The envelope was postmarked New York, Jan. 6, and will throw i'm portant light upon the matter and settle all doubts as to Mir. Taylor's disappear ance:
 DEAR FRANK-I am compelled to in. form you that will not return to Red- field or Pierre. I have counted on friends assisting mo in making up my settlement with the state and felt that it would be done until the last few days. 1 feel reliev- cd to know that the First National of Red field is not in any way rightfully compro- missed by my misfortune and hope that its patrons will believe you. as they should, for you have always kept the bank $ affairs in good, safe condition. There is no reason why the bank should not continue its business. offer no excuse for my condi tion, although I have many and believe myself, yours truly,

ITS TREASURY LOOTED
South Dakota's State Treasurer
 Gone With $35o, ,ooo.
LAST HEARD FROM IN NEW YORK.

Taylor Wrote From There That He Would
 Not Return, as He Could Never Make Good
 the State Funds-Last Seen In Chicago.
 Had speculated Wildly.
 REDFIELD, S D., Jan. 1O.-Probably the most startling failure that has ever occurred in South Dakota or tho north west was revealed in word received from William Walter Taylor, the outgoing state treasurer and president of the First Ma tional bank and Northwestern Mortgage Trust company of this city, that he would not appear to make his settlement at Pierre with his successor, Treasurer Elect Phillips of Deadwood. The news and clos ing of his bank here came like q thunder clap from a clear sky, because both Taylor and the financial institutions with which he was connected were regarded as firm and reliable beyond question.
 The news from Pierre demonstrated that no money is held there to the credit of the state treasurer, and none is held in the bank here. It Is estimated that about $350, 900 is missing with Taylor. Aside from the financial loss the action of Tay- Tor is felt terribly by all who have known and done business with him and the finan cial enterprises with which he has been connected in years past He and his en- terprises here have handled many thou sands of eastern capital. and his bank here has always been regarded as one of tho firm, safe institutions in the state.
 On Tuesday morning his bank hero opened for business as usual. and the cashier, F. W. Humphrey. states that it held 50 per cent of deposits in cash and in bonds of approved reserve agents in tho east. There was quiet run on the bank Tuesday by parties who had their suspi- cions aroused by receiving private informa- tion from Pierre that Taylor had not shown up there and something was wrong. The bank officials decided to close the bank, subject to examination by the comp troller of the currency, and that official was notified at once. The action was taken for the protection of the bank and its many deppsitors.
