THE SAVINGS’ BANKS of Chicago.continue to tumble one after another. The latest one that has “gone up thespout” is the Fidelity. Badinvestments, paying excessive rates of infrest on feposits, and the contraction policy of Sherman, gave the Fidelity its deathblow. ol g

KT'mv:-’\Zaeancy occasioned by tpe resignation of Judge Zollars, of the Superior Court of Alleri county, has been filled by the appointment ot Hon. Robert Lowry, whose reputation as an able jurist is as extensive as it is merited. Zollars has been appointed attorney for the Grand Rapids & Indiana R. R. i e i GEN. FRANCIS E. SPINNER, ex-treas-urer of the United States, has been nominated by the Greenback party of the State of New York as a candidate for Secretary of State. ‘lhe greenback sentiment is steadily growing in the East-and bids fair to become troublesome to the Shylocks’who have hitherto had full sway in thatregion.

- HoN. WILLIAM (GASTON has been nominated by the Democrats of Massachusetts as their candidate for Governor, In 18?74 Governor Gaston was e,lect’ed' by a’handsdme majority, and his re-nomination indicates that the Democracy of the o}d Bav State mean businesd.

. THE PRESIDENTIAL PARTY, consisting of Mr.-and Mrs. Hayes, Secretary Evarts and Postmaster General Key,

have terminated their soythern pleas-

ure trip. They were everywhere received with cordiality and enthusiasm. On Friday they reached Knoxville,from whence they proceeded to Atlanta, returning to Knoxville to spend the Sabbath. On Monday the party proceeded to Liynchburg, Virginia,and yesterday brought them up at the national capital.l i Sl

GEN, SAMUEL CARY, the renowned champion of the greenback theory, is on the stump in Illinois. lie recently delivered ‘an eloquent speech 'in Chicago to an immense audience. General Cary intends to make a series of greenback speeches throughout Illinois, and help in the organization of Greenback clubs in the larger towns and cities. His success in this particular depends largely upon the action of Congréss. If that body promptly repeals the resumption act and remon‘etizes silver, the General’s occupation will be pretty well gone. e

THE CABLE announces the death of Leverrier, the great astronomer. Levs errier was born in 1811, and from his youth was strongly attracted toward mathematics, particularly - celestial mathematics. e was elected to the French Adademy when 32 'years of age, and on the Ist of June, 1846, annourced to that body the discovery of the planet Neptune, with which his name and fame will ever be associated. At the death of /Arago, in 1853, he was appointed director of the observatory, a position he held at his death. He has i‘)een in ill-health for some time, but continued his work to the last, being wheeled about the observatory in his easy chair, ditecting and supervising its operations. '

Jonx 8. MORTON, a leading Philadélphian and President of the Permament Exposition Company, has come to grief and to-day stands exposed as the perpetrator of a colossal fraud It has been discovered that he has over-issued stock of the West Philadelphia Street-Railway Company to the amount of nearly one million of dollars. In a public statement Mr. Morton says: “I know the ordeal I have to go through with, and with my sensitive nature" it is terrible; but I will' try and meet it like a man. T would not do like Mr. Ralston, of San Frangisco———commit suicide,” If Mr. Morton is the sensitive child of nature whieh he would have us believe him to be, it is a little singular that he did ‘not shrink from the peipetration of a fraud so gigantic in its proportions and 80 audacious in its conception.

DEATH OF U. 8, SENATOR BOGY, Lewis V. Bog)f, United States Senator from Missouri, died at St. Louis last Thursday. He had been suffering for some months from malarial fever, complicated latterly with abscess of the liver, the latter disease hastening, perhaps causing his death,; In a vain endeavor to restore his health ‘the Senator had recently made a trip # Colorado. He was born at, St, Genevieve, Mo., April 9, 1813, his father belonging to one of the families of French pioneers whose names are. still so widely borne by residents of St. Louis ‘and its vicinity, and his mother beitig Scotch. - Hereceived a common school -education, and after “clerking” some time in a country store and teaching 'school to support himself§ took up the study of thelaw, first in Illinois, then : at the Lexingtdn, Ky., Law School, where e was graduated in 1835, be‘ginining a successful practice at St. Louis. In 1840 he was.elected by the Democrats to the State Legislature, where he subsequently served several ‘terms, . In 1847 he became interested in the St.;%oui.s and Iron Mountain Railroad and the mines about Pilot Knob, and laid the -foundations of a large fortune. He ran for Congress twice, ‘in 1852 and in 1862, each time unsuecessfully, but was made Commissioner of Indian Affairs in the latter part of Jolinson’s' Administration. The Senatorship, however, was always the prize In political life that he most coveted. Forty years ‘before the contest for the suceession to Frank Blair's seat touk place, e had written to his mother as follows: : * 87, GENEVIEVE, Jan. 16, 1832, On this day I left home under charge -of Mr. William Shannon, an old friend, of my father, to go to Kaskaskia. to read law inthe oflice of Judge Pope. My education is very limited, but with hard study I may overcome it. I am determined to try it, and my intention is to return to my native State to practice if I ean qualify myself, and ‘while- doing soo to work to become United States Senator for my native State, and to work for this till I.am sixty years old. I wiil pray God %o give me the resolution to persevere in this intention. I have communicated: this to my mother and given' her this paper to keep. Sohelp me God. ' o G RWIS V. Boay: -~ Mr. Bogy kept his word, for in his sixtieth -year, January 15, 1873, he was elected to the United States Senate tor, the term ending 1879, defeating John B. Henderson.. In his subsequent political career Mr. Bogy was prominent as an advocate of the greenback cause. Mr. Bogy was a man of strohg common sense and great practical ability. lle was one of the survivors of the Black Hawk war, where he served in two engagements. The Legislature of Missouri being democratic, and the Governor a Democrat, Mr. Bogy’s death will not change the political jcomplexion of the Senate.

. Bon INGERSOLL, the celebrated infidel lecturer, 'has created a sensation by challenging the religious world to prove that either Thomas Paine or Voltaire recanted his convietjons on his death-bed, or died exhibiting ro‘morse.on account of his infidel teachings. The New York Obsetver accepted the challenge, and offered to prové it in regard to one or both. Col. Ingersoll having returned to Peoria, Illinois, and fieard of the acceptance, says he will immediately deposit $l,000. in gold-in bank, subject to the order of Dr. Prime when endorsed by the tribunal, which Sshall consist of three men—one to be chosen by Ingersoll, one by Prime, and a third by the agreement of the two. Colonel Ingersoll adds: “From the date of accepting this offer you may have ninety days to collect and present your testimony, giving due notice of time and place of taking depositions. I shall have a like time to take evidence upon my side, giving you like notice, and you shall then have thirty days to take further testimony in reply to what I may offer. The case shall then be argued before the persons chosen; and their decisions shall be final as to us. -If Paine and Voltaire died filled with childish and silly fear, I want to know it, and I want the world to know it. On the other hand, if the belieyers in superstition have made and circulated these cruel slanders concerning the mighty dead, I want the world to know that.)] = s

Says the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette: The New York papers have found an easy way to get over an unanswerable argument. They dispose of Mr. Groesbeck’s masterly argument in favor.of a double coin standard, by -z;zlling him a“blatherskite.” That set~ es'it. & ; § X

. The insolence of the subservient tools who are doing the dirty work of Wall street through the columns of the New York press, is becoming pretty nigh ingufferable. Beaten in every contest upon which they had the courage to venture with the' pronounced advocates of silver remonetization, these dabble little fellows now resort to the belittling and ridiculing process. The Chicago Tribune and the Cincinnati Commercial "have “cleaned out” the New York press on the silver quesion, and Mr. Groesbeck completely annihilated the sophisms of the gold ring in the recent bankers’ convention. These things have exasperated the easterr Shylocks and their penny-a-liners, who are driven [to the dire necessity of throwing mud in order to keep up a show of fight. : :

" BECRETARY SHERMAN telegraphs the Hvening Post, over his own signature; a posilive contradiction of the report that he will be a candidate for the. United States Senate, and that he has in any way compelled Ohio clerks _to go home to vote.

One of the boldest and mest successful railroad robberies that ever oceurred in this country was consummated near Big Springs, Neb., on Tuesday of last week. 'The perpetrators were thirteen masked men. The robbers first . took possession of the Springs, destroying the telegraph instruments, and compelled the agent to hang out a red light. When the train stopped they took possession, putting the train men and passengers under guard, The express car was broken into, and the safe robbed of about $75,000. The passengers were also robbed of an amount not ascertained. The robbers are beliecved to have gone north. The railroad company offer a reward of $5,000 for the arrest of the thieves. - At the session of-the Grand Lodge of 1. 0. O.

~_ Fire in the Patent Office. ' . _ Last Monday a fire broke out in the Patent Office .at Washington in the western attic where rejected: models and ald files and records were stored, and through the criminal incompetency of “watchmen and officials the entire model rooms and record rooms of the western and northern sides were destroyed. . The Patent Office is of stone and iron, built with fire-proof floors of stone and: cement and cost nearly $3,000,000. It was commenced forty years ago and completed only last year. The building covers about four aeres square, On-the second floor is ia broad corridor all the way round in which were stored some 400,000 models, some of them rare relics of early inventions, most of which were destroyed by the flames. Though the walls and floors were fire-proof the model cases and record cabinets were of wood, and a fire once under headway with a powerful draught swept these away like tinder. With the assistance of the fire departments of Baltimore and Alexandria the quarteri portion of the building wassaved. As it is the loss is nearly a million dollars, which is small compared with the confusion and litigation likely to grow out of the obliteration of records and destruetion of models. : Besides this a great many relics, such as the first cotton gin, the original sewing machine, ete., will be a loss not to be estimated in money.

The Cleveland Cattle Disease.

- CLEVELAND, O, Sept. 22.-—A large number of farmers and others interested in the cattle disease that has been raging for some weeks in various parts of the city and outlying country, met in convention in this city to-night. Since the disease first made its appearance 139 cows have died. ''The general theory is that the disease is a fever of some kind, and is' communicated to native cattle by Texas steers brought here to be slaughtered, many of which are pastured in the surrounding country for a time. The fever is very contagious. Dr. Wells, the health officer of this city, has investigated the subJeet, and gives the following as the result: The symptoms develop after an incubation of ten days to four weeks; are usually a diminution of milk, drooping ears, hanging head and heat of body, from 100 to 107 degrees, which is a valuable sign. The most prominent post-mortem appearances are a largely increased liver and spleen, the latter being very constant. The treatment, to be effectual, must be commenced early, and, as in all diseases of this natare, whether in man or animal, must ¢pnsist in stimulants—gin or diluted alcohol, given in half-pint doses, together with quinine. The bowels must be acted upon with salts. In a healthy, robust animal it might be well, in the commencement of the difficulty, to bleed. = = e

The Russo-Turkish War.

- The news from.the seat of war is conflicting, prebably because no “intelligent contraband” is at hand to post the war correspondents. The Russians got beautifully licked in the valley of the Lom last Monday week, being driven with great slaughter.. The excesses on both sides are horrible, the innocent being the heaviest sufferers. The christian soldier spares neither women nor children. The aged and suckling are chopped to pieees without mercy, the young maiden being previously subjected to a fate worse than death. Many instances are recorded where the women have committed suicide in preference to the fate of outrage and slavery. It seems as if the time for that long expected interference of other powers was nearly at hand. 5

—No considerable advantages have been gained by eithier Russian or Turk with all the herrible loss of life incident to the continuous battle around Plevna and Schipka Pass. The Turk has proved his metal by the vigorous resistance and . jokes about marching upon St. Petersburg in another season. It 18 now pretty well settled that the whole eastern question will winter over;and be taken up with renewed v%gbr in the spring.—South Bend Herald. e - e

Murder in Allen County.

ForT WAYNE, Ind., Sept. 22.-—This morning, at-Heller’s Corners, Allen county, Dr. T. R.; Morrison, a physician in good standing, shot Asher W. Fisher in the abdomen, inflicting fatal wounds. Morrison came to the city and surrendered himself. Hesays the killing was done in self-defence. He is now out on bail. Fisher cannot live through the night. His friends say the homicide was a cruel and unproveked murder. Fisher and Morrison. were enemies of long standing. T&;‘qre is much excitement over the affair. 3

- Jap. Porter, of Crawfordsville, was shot at the Frankfort fair, a few days ago, by Mollie Fox, who claims him as her seducer. The ball lodged in his secalp, and did but little injury. She has attemopted to take his life on several other occasionsg. i ‘
