Well Supplied.
Large Consignment Received at the In
ternal Rev .nu: Office.

Every bank in the city now has a
good supply of two-cent internal rev.
enue stamps on hand. and all appli-
cants can be provided for without
difficulty by these institutions. The
local internal revenue Office received
100000 two-cent stamps on Wednesday
night, with a large consignment OF
other denominations. The deputies and

centers and sending them out. The
stamps received were of the following
denominations and quantities.: Docu-
mentary 200 900 one-oent, 100000 two
cent, 10000 50-cent, 1880 81; proprie-
tary. 900 one-eighth-cent. 100000
three -eighths- 100000 two-cent,
100000 four-cent
With the exception of the four-cent
stamps, used only for chewing gum
packages all the stamps are I'm great
demand. The two-cent stamps being
exhausted for the time being, many
persons are purchasing the one-cent
stamps. The local office now has on
hand i'm the documentary stamps the
1-cent, 50-cent, 81 and So values: In
proprietary stamps, k-cent, ss-cent,
1-cent, 2-cent and Accent values. The
h-cent stamps sell as well as any of
the others, probably. They are used
by druggists in stamping proprietary
articles, one being required for every
five cents worth up to a quarer in
value, and an additional ss stamp for
every quarter increase in the value.
On a 15-cent article 3s-cent stamp Is
required, for instance. on a 25-cent
article a &-cent. on a 50-cent article a
1-cent and two M-cent, and so on.
The provision of the new law con-
cerning imprinted checks is causing
the local bankers some trouble, and
they are anxious to learn where they
can get them printed in accordance
with the recent decision of the treas
ury department that a return to the
practice prevailing in the civil war and
for years afterward will be allowed.
This provision of the law is hardly in
working order yet. however.

that a hearing would be given on the
question OF reducing bail.
After long arguments by Mr.. Allen in
behalf OF Mr.. Cleary and by A. X.

lence on the part OF the crew; but /
was not on deck very long. In few
minutes / was struggling in the water
and after hard work managed to reach
raft. on which i remained until

HE FEELS THE DISGRACE.
Mr.. Olivier said that he saw many
OF the steerage passengers with open
knives in their hands, and he fears that
some were used. He spoke bitterly OF
the disgrace that such an affair brought
to every true seamen who had been
saved, and said that, had he known all
that he has since heard, he would have
preferred to have gone down with
Capt. Deloncle and the other officers.
He said: II shall sail for France to-
morrow, and, by the help of the good
God, i shall reach Havre in a week.
When arrive 1 shall leave the employ
of the company forever, even IL have
some trouble in securing another berth
which 1 do not anticipate, as my cer-
toficates of efficiency are safe in

Domenico Pampani, an Italian steer
age passenger, who could speak no
English, said that all the brutality
came from the crew. He was thrown
from a boat into the water, and man
aged to remain afioat for two hours.
when he found raft turned upside
down. To this raft were lashed the
bodies of three women and four men,
all drowned. He remained on the raft
until rescued by boat from the Eng
lish ship.
PASSENGERS PUSHED BACK.
Charles Euttweiler and John Bergi,
both Germans, who live in Brooklyn,
N. Y, said that they saw the French
seamen push many persons back who
were trying to reach the boats. Bergi
lost his father and mother. all his ef-
forts TO save them being useless.
Purser Lefavrier OF the steamer La
Touraine. who had charge OF the ship
wrecked party, said that he. OF course,
had no knowledge of the disaster be-
yond what he had read. He could hard
ly believe tina tthe crew would be guilty
of such brutality, although he said that
the men employed on the ocean liners
were, az u rule a more 'or less brutal
set. Mr.. Isefavrier said that the sur
vivors of the crew would sail for. Havre
from New York on La Touraine to-
morrow morning, and also as many of
the rescued passengers as cared To go.
one OF the most intelligent OF the sur
vivors, who did not give his name, said
that on the passage from Halifax TO
Boston the passenger list of La Bour-
gogne was carefully revised. and IL was
shown that there were IA souls on
board the steamer, OF whom $50 were
lost and 164 were saved. Among the
passengers on the Halifax not one could
be found who was on deck at the time
the collision occurred. and all OF the
crew who were on deck are said TO have
perished.
The only man saved from La Bour-
gogne who was on deck when the ships
struck was Mr.. Lacasse, who left Hall

boat with the others. as he said he had
