and f randuU ntly pat in circulation. These) notes, bat net certain of other notes atolen from several banks, will "be redeemed at the treasury in the order of their presentation, NATIONAL HANK PKPOSITS. There was a decrease of less than 3,000,000 in the bonds held on deposit to secure national bank circnlation. Seventy-three banks were discontinued as depositaries and eight new ones were designated. Some important changes occurred in the Pacific railroad sinking funds and the Indian trust fund. The redemptions of bank notes -amounted to nearly $70,000,000, a decrease of upward of g 13,000,000 as compared with the year before. Owing chielly to the lower prices ruling for bonds, the deposits for tlie retirement of national bank notes amounted to only 11,000,000. JJy the act of July 14, 1S90, these deposits, together with the balance of them remaining in the Treasurer's hands at the time, were required to bo covered into the treasury and a like amount of outstanding bank notes to be reported each month as debt of the United States bearing no interest. The work of receiving these deposits and redeeming the notes out of them has been done heretofore without accountability to tho department. The total amount of money received in tbese deposits, to the 25th of July laat, was nearly $479,000,000, of which (404,000,000 was paid out in redemption of notes and upwards of $20,000,000 was refunded or transferred. The balance on hand, amounting to &4,S88,475, was deposited in the, treasury by the Treasurer's check. The Treasurer suggests that as he is a bonded office-bolder he should be allowed to select his own force of clerks, without the restrictions of the civil-service law, while that law might govern as regards dismissals. The suggestion is made that if some expedient could be devised by which the repeated handling of the silver coin in the various offices of the treasury could safely bo avoided it would be an important advantage. Continued embarrassment has attended the work of supplying the country with paper currency from delays and failures in tilling the Treasurer's requisitions for new, notes, lie suggests that greater Heiibility'might be given to the currency if gold certificates of the denominations of $5 and $10 be issued. lie urges the necessity of an appropriation for the transportation of United States paper currency to Washington for redemption. With perhaps a trifle additional outlay the people could be kept supplied, free of cost to them, with a good, clean and fresh paper currency, thus greatly lessening the danger of counterfeiting. The laws and practice hereunder relating to a branded or otherwise nncurrent coins are referred to as possibly capable of amendment so as to extend to the metallio circnlation.

paid to the officers of the treasury are inadequate compensation for the duties performed, being less than those paid in wellmanaged private institutions and less even than are paid in the sub-treasury in New York. Thft whole number emnlovd in thft xvhn1 treasnrv Rvatem is 515, at an average cost of $1,400 for salaries. The Bank of England, whose business is almost exactly the same as that of the Treasury, with the addition of one pn- ' Tate deposit and discount, employs 1,160 persons, at an average cost of $1,440. No changes of importance have occurred in the rontine business other than those inci dent to the increase of the revenues. The immense operations of the year were ac complished with the movement of about 100.000,000 less money in and out of the treasury than was found necessary the previous year. In conclusion the Ireasurer commends the officers and employes associated with him for the manner in which they have performed their duties. MIIS OK MATTERS.

Mayor Steele, of Marion, Fails to Make Good a Shortage and Disappears. Arrested for an Old Murder Pettit Likened to the Savior by His Lawyer Obtained Money on a Bogus Draft. INDIANA. Mayor A. E. Steele, of Marion, a Defaulter for a Small Amount. FpecUl to the Indianapolis Journal. Maiuox, Nov. 18. For some time rumor has connected Mayor A. E. Steele with a shortage in his accounts, but tho exact con dilion of his affairs has nbt been known un til now. Last week Assistant Attorneygeneral Wilson began an investigation which disclosed a shortage of $400 due the State. Since this condition of things was suspected several attempts have been made to force a settlement, but only 175 was thus secured. On election day the Mayor left for Nebraska. During his absence t- further investigation showed that ho had squan dered other funds to the amount of about SOOO. Most of this was due to officials whose fees he had collected and kept. Numerous telegrams were sent after him. and on last Friday he returned and Immediately tendered his resignation. A settle ment was again demanded, and his bonds men provided for delinquencies so laras then , known. An auditing committee is now engaged ma scrutiny of his relations to the city, and though the exact deficiency can not bo learned, it is known that the shortage amounts to little. Steele's downfall is attributed to a fast life, with all that that implies. He has long been known as one of the best criminal lawvers in this part of the State, and his practice was very profitable. It is estimated that his legitimate income from the Mayors office was yj.ouo a year, lie naa been Mayor but eighteen months, lie is a member of a family well known through out the State. He has left the city, but no one knows his destination, nor is it known whether he intends to return. There are numerous applicants for the vacant position, to till which the Council will immediately order an election. Mad-o 3 Cartons Mistake. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Columgcs, Nov. 18. At noon, to-day. Lara McAlpin, whose pocket, book, containing $19 in c!d and silver coin, was mys teriously stohu from the store of Halkie Brothers late yesterday evening, came to this city and made an affidavit charging Isaao Jones, r. young farmer, who resides some six miles vest of this city, with the theft. Marshal Hogarty searched Jones's residence, securing the kind of gold coin, a h7e and ten-dollar piece, described in' his writ, and arrested Jones, bringing him to this city, and at the time fixed for trial this afternoon William KoL'meyer walked into the court room and produced the McAlpin pocketbook, containing the amount and kind of money that had been lost. The peculiarity in the entire transaction is that the minuto description of the money given by McAlpin should have fitted Jones's coin. Jones was released, and is greatly broken down on ac count of his arrest, as he has always borne a good reputation. Kollmeyer, who was in the room when the money was missed by the owner, claims that he found the money on tho sidewalk in front of the store from where it was thought to have beeti stolen. and returned it to the Mayor to be given to the owner. Drew a Dold Comparison. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. f Crawfordsville, Nov. 18. Judge Da vidson, in his address to the jury this morn ing, in behalf of W. Fred Pettit, drew a comparison between Pettit at conference and Christ before Pilate. He said that when both were accused they answered not the accusation, yet if this was a sign of guilt on the part of rettit, why was it not a sign ot guilt on :he part of Christ! He finished his speech aw noon, and then Kumler commenced bis address to the jury, also in behalf of the accused. Then will tollow the closing speech of A. B. Anderson for the State. It now seems doubtful that the jury will get the case by Wednesday night, and it may be Thursday noon before they retire. . - A Child's Narrow Escape. Special to th? Indianapolis Journal. Crawfordsville, Nov. 18. A brakeman on the Monon this afternoon saved the life of a little girl, but it was a hair-breadth escape. A freight train was making a running-switch of one car, and just as the en gine had crossed Main street, after being detached from the car, ten little girls started to run across the track. . One of them, Talcut Clements, caught her foot between the rail and where the side-walk joins. She fell across the rail, and the car m i ma was iasi coming aown upon ner. ine brakeman at once saw t he peril of the child, who was too badly frightened to move, and exerted all his strength putting on the brake. He succeeded in stopping the car just as the wheel touched the little girl. Murderer Caught. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Vincennes, Nov. 18.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Greensburg, Nov. 18. While attorneys were to-day examining the poll-books and tally-sheets in the clerk's office preparatory to trying the contest rocently filed for the office of auditor, it was found that Mr. Pulse. Republican, had five more tallies than had been counted for him. If the papers that are sealed up are the same when opened it would seem that Mr. Pulse is elected by one plurality instead of Mr. Puttniann by four plurality, as certified by the board of canvassers. The interest in the contest increases, and the tight will be a lively one. Cashed a llogua Draft. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Bloomingtox, Nov. 18.

He eays: T havo seen Senator Sherman's letter on this sub ject and he is entirely mistaken in saying that reoaio was not inteuueu to ueauoweu. The report signed by Mr. Sherman and the other Republican conferees shows that it was agreed to, and the difficulty arises solelv from the fact that the clerks failed to insert tho rebate provision in full in the

leavening power (

best and most economical.

body of the report. The Senate amendment striking out the rebate was numbered 449. and the report states distinctly that the Senate recedes from this amendment, which, of course, restored the provision."

In the second and third rounds Kessler got the best of the blows 'exchanged. In the fourth little was done. In the fifth La Blanche followed Kessler aroun' the ring, getting in a number of hard blows. In the sixth La Blanche was badly used by the Montana boy, and received severe punishment. In the seventh La Blanche threw Kessler to the ground and forced the lighting, but the blows were'cleverly stopped. In the eighth Kessler started with a stinging blow on La Blanche's mouth, and claimed and was allowed first blood; and then knocked his opponent against the ropes and into his corner. In tho tenth Kessler was sent to the ground by a light blow from La Blanche, aud the latter was allowed first knock-down. In the eleventh La Blanche was as weak as a kitten, and Kessler knocked him all over the ring. To escape punishment he clinched Kessler, and they weie not separated till time was called. In the twelfth round little was done, but Kessler had the best of it. In the thirteenth round Kessler proceeded to knock out his opponent, Five times he laid him across the ropes. After the fifth time La Blanche deliborately kicked Kessler in the pit of the stomach. The men then clinched, and wonld not break. Kessler threw La Blanche through the ropes, his head and arms landing in the mud outside the ring. After this round the referee awarded the fight to Kessler. The foul was apparently done with a purpose, La Blanche preferring to lose on a foul. He would undoubtedly have been knocked out in another round. Kansas City Pugilist Arrested. Kansas City, Nov. 18.

There began in Judge Baker's court, this afternoon, a suit for libel, which, if the opening address of counsel shall be proven, will merge into one of the most sensational ever heard in Chicago. It is the $50,000 suit of Mary M. liyan against the Inter Ocean for characterizing her as a black-mailer and an adventuress, and stating thatr she pursued, with the .relentlessness of a tiger, some of the wealthiest and most prominent of Chicago's citizens, bleeding them of large sums of money, which they handed over rather than that public notice should be brought to them.
