The rebels, who we're intrencbed in

The American artillery opened fire
on the insurgents and drove them from

Proposed New Orleans improvements

Proposed New Orleans improvements
New Orleans, June 6.-One Of the
most important elections ever held
here is that being held today. 1t will
decide whether New Orleans is to have
modern sewerage and drainage, in
creasing the barriers against the in
PRODUCTION of pestilential diseases, or
whether the proposed vast scheme Of
improvements shall be postponed to
some future time. The best of opinion
is that the two mill tax will be voted
by a large majority. There are no ap-
parent evidences of the opposition and
unless there is a surprise in the silent
vote practically the entire vote will be
favorable.

Dover, N. H., June 6.-The Cocheco
Savings bank, of this city, was en-
Joined yesterday from paying out or
receiving money, and warrant was
issued for the arrest of Harry Hough,
the treasurer, who is charged with a
shortage of $4,000. The Cocheco Ma
tional bank also closed its doors.
Hough, besides being treasurer of the
savings institution, was paying teller
of the national bank. The treasurer
could not be found here, and it was
learned after investigation that he left
Dover on Sunday. His friends believe
that he will return. The suspension
of the two banks leaves this city with
no financial institution except the
Strafford National and the Stanford
Savings banks.

perfect specimens are at present pro

finest gems come from the NiSkapur
mines in northern Persia. There are
Ave or six of these mines, but the most
productive OF all is the Rush mine,
which is situated at the top OF n
mountain that rises To an altitude Of
5000 feet above the sea level The
