FIFTEEN MILLIONS GONE.
Reported Withdrawal Of Gold From
the Sub-Treasury.
Said TO Be SnOWbeund on Its Way to
Washington Of Car.
isles Financiering.

a telegram was received in this city
from Washington last night to the effect
that $4,000 900 in gold had been withdrawn
from the local sub-treasury and was on its
way to the national capital. The dispatch
also stated that the train bearing the
money was snowbound in the Rocky Noun
tains.
An effort was made to find Campbell P
Berry, Assistant United States Treasurer,
with view to obtaining confirmation or
denial OF the report, but he was not at
home. Mr.. Berry's assistant, Thomas
Burns, declared that if such a shipment
had been made it was done without his
knowledge. He did not believe the report.
There is not now" he said, land has
net been for several months $4,000, 600 in
gold In the sub-treasury. If that amount
were called for by Secretary Carlisle, it
would not only take all our spare gold but
much that is at the Mint
1--WE have recently received instructions
from Washington to keep the newly
minted gold separate from the old coins,
and that suggests that we may be called
upon to part with our surplus, which, ]
think, amounts to about eleven million
dollars"
1t will be remembered that three years
ago twenty million dollars in gold was
taken from the sub-treasury and forwarded
to Washington. 1t was never returned,
and when Campbell P. Berry succeeded
John P. Jackson as Assistant Treasurer,
there was less than fifteen millions in gold
in the vaults on Commercial street. Since
that time the supply of yellow metal has
not increased, in spite of the fact that
about 100000 was recently realized by
the sale of bonds.

TENDING TO CRININATE.
Three Witnesses Take Shelter Under
Legal Rights.
The Election Contest Of Tracey Against
Wilkinson in Justice CAROLS
Court.

Justice of the Peace Carroll, with Justice
Barry as his colleague, took up yesterday
the election contest case of Timothy Tracey
against J. J. Wilkinson in the Thirty-first
Assembly District. Tracey, the Demo
cratic candidate, was beaten twenty-seven
votes. The contestant alleged fraud both
in the counting of the ballots and in the
manner of voting.
The principal feature of interest in the
contest yesterday was the failure OF some
of the election officers in the Eighth Pre-
clnct to appear in answer to subpenas.
This IS the precinct in which fraud was
discovered in the Haley-Curry contest in
the Superior Court. No answer was given
when their names were called. If they do
not appear to-day writs OF attachment will
be issued against them.
Three witnesses were relieved from tes-
tifying on the ground that their testimony
would tend to incriminate themselves.
These were NJ. ]. Gordon, P. NJ. O'Connor
and James Dunning. These are the three
men who served on the Eighth Precinct of
the Thirty-trst District, and were arrested
for frauds, their cases now pending in
Judge Wallace's court Their attorney,
nj. nj. Foote, several weeks ago got in
trouble Tor the manner in which he de-
tended them, for he was up before Judge
Hebbard for contempt proceedings, being
fined for his offense. Several election Off
GERS were examined, but their testimony
was not OF a startling nature and the case
went over until to-day.

planned. He divided his sermon under
four great heads: ''What must do to be
saved?" "Believe in the Lord Jesus
Christ" "And thou shalt be saved"
And he and his were baptized straight

The meeting was very successful and
twenty-nine additional men and women
came forward after the sermon to confess
their faith and show their willingness to
join some church.
On Sunday night there will be a special
meeting at Metropolitan Temple for young

Brigands in Italy.

The trial of brigands in Italy has
brought out many curious facts relating to
the ideas and manners of this class of rob-
bers. Their epistolary style is very odd.
They always begin with the word ''mean-
while" For instance, when they killed a
farm servant they sent messenger to his
master to relate all that had passed, giving
him letter which joined onto the mes
sage as follows: Meanwhile, we think we
may be content with this little work OF
ours, and now we want to know whether
you are content and will send us the sum
demanded. If you do not, we shall still
have to work at your affairs. Go, as usual,
to your friend, the Marshal, believing that
we do not know of it. "-Exchange.

KANSAS CITY, Kans., Jan. efficiently
the Sawyer Undertaking Company was
awarded the sole contract for burying the
county's poor, and as a result the other
competitors have declared, rather than
allow this, that they will do the work for
nothing. They have already assumed a
warlike attitude toward the favored COM
pany, and body-snatthing, they declare,
will, until peace is declared, be the order
of the day.
Before the present differences arose the
competing undertakers made each pauper's
death the cause for a fight, racing for and
Outlines snatching the bodies from one
another in their eagerness to get the $40
fee for burying 1t.
4 tug-of-war with a cadaver as the OBJ
ject of contention was no uncommon sight
at the poor farm, and not until one avari
cious 'taker was lucklesS enough to get
away with but the head, an arm or leg,
and his opponent securing the larger por
ton of the body, did the disgraceful pro-
ceedings cease.
But it only ceased until some other poor
victim died, when the contest was re-
peated with all the eagerness of the pre-
viQus one. To put a stop to such work
Coroner Stevens opened bids for taking
care of the bodies, the lowest bidder to
receive the contract.
When the Sawyer Company was given
the contract the firms set up a claim of
fraud, asserting that the company's bid
was not the lowest and that it received
preferment over them. Until the difficulty
is amicablv settled the dead pauper must

Prince and Processes.

The English like to read about princes
and princesses, to gossip about their do
ingS, and to utilize them for ceremonials,
but their positive liking for them has
rather narrow limits. They will not allow
them any political influence; they are des-
perately jealous of their claim to appoint
ments, even in the army, though princes
fill these fairly well; and they will not.
when they can help it, vote them any
money to live on. 1t will by and by be
simply impossible even to ask Parliament
for grants.
The real English feeling, we should have
said, is limited to the sovereign and to
those who must succeed her, the throne
rather than the royal family being the true
object of the nations regard. London
