Brasiobd, Pa., March 5.—Upon complaint of W. W. Bell, cashier of the First National bonk, of this city, charging Thomaa Christie and Horatio King with wilfully and maliciously embsasling money and funds belonging to the bank, and brokers C. R. Hufltley and J. L. Johnson with aiding and abetting them, warrants for the arrest of those persons were issued by United States Commissioner Chapman. The complaint stated that the embezzlement occurred during the month of July, 1886, and at sundry times ince, and that the amount was $60,000 or thereabouts. The warrants ware placed in the hands of Deputy United States Marshal McCrea, and the parties, with the exception of Huntley, brought before the commissioner. Mr. Huntley was at Wellsboro, this state, where, it is said, he went to consult his attorney, having anticipated trouble in the matter. He was arrested at Wellsboro, and trill be brought here. Mr. Johnson demanded a hearing, and the time was fixed. Bail for his appearance was entered in the sum of 110,000. The case against Christie and King was continued to Much 11, and they were committed to the custody of the deputy marshal. The money was lost in speculation in oil through Huntley & Johnson. It is said the boys were short on the market two days ago to the extent of 400,000 barrels. The financial standing of the bank will not be affected. It baa a capital of $100,000 surplus of $300,000 and individual property of over $30,000. Both £he embezzlers are mere boys, Christie being 81 while King is yet a minor. The former has excellent connections in the eity and the latter is the son of William K. King, of Ceres, one of the oldest citizens of the county. Huntley is one of the most prominent brokers in the oil trade, and has a representative in every exchange in the country.  ING UP A VERDICT. ASKS TO BE EXCUSED. Pottsville, Pa., March 6.—Benjamin Lewis, who bought the wife o£ another man two years ago for $85, and after living with her for awhile disposed of ; Iter at half price and married another woaufa, thereby getting himself into jail on a charge of bigamy, was released by order of court. Lewis is a Welshman and rotates in Shenandoah. He and a friend while on a spree struck a bargain by whjch the friend relinquished all claim to his wife for the price stated The woman cheerfully consented to the exchange, and four months later was aa willing to make a' second es&hange. She was never prosecuted, and is still living with her third husband, her last purchaser. Lewis's second wife discovered his peculiar relations with her predaoessor, and instigated the prosecution. Since then, on the advice of a lawyer, who declared her union with Lewis null and void because of his previous marriage, she has wadded again, and now no longer deairee to push the prosecution. Lewis had bpen unable to procure bail, and was languishing In jail awaiting trial, from which he was dismissed.

Wbw Tom, March 8.—The effect of the Nxw York, March 6.—The twelve freo and independent citizens of this state who were selected for their impartiality and other great qualities to be jurors in the Holland trial, went completely back on Tom Davis, their fellow townsman, and on The, his brother, by acquitting the little Texan. Tho day was a big one over in court. A wonderful crowd of celebrated personages was present, and the clamor for admission at the doors aroused even the lamb-like natures of the court officers to a wild pitch of indignation. Court opened early, and the entire day was consecrated to the outpouring of limpid streams of purest eloquence. Gen. Pryor led off early in the day. His raven locks now shook and swayed in the tempest of frenzied enthusiasm, and now hung placid and calm in gentle and tender persuasion. First, the jury were made to believe themselves a truly great and noble set of men. Then the eloquent general told them how superior they were to all other men in the world, and how this state, this county aught to be proud and happy to possess them. Then Gen. Pryor selected another string upon his harp, and sang sweetly of the soft and gentle uatured Texan who was being tried for his life. Mr. Cannon retorted that the Democrats, after incubating the eggs, had found that the treasury accounts wero only one cent short, and that had been subsequently found. St. Louis, Mar«-h 6.—A popular fund to provide for Mrs. Catherine Scales, of this city, who is past 70 years of age and has devoted forty-five years of her It? • lo Cio building up of the magnificent pu.-.ic school system of this city, has lately been started. Tho following letter from Gen. Sherman declining to contribute to the fund, printed In The Chronicle, is interesting in connection with recent private correspondence of the general's which has attracted so much attention. stoppage of the street cars was clearly ap parent in the shopping district. That part at the city within the boundaries of Union square, Fourteenth street, Sixth avenue, Twenty-third street and Broadway, was almost as dull as Sunday. There was a noticeable absence of ladies from the streets. The big Mores, which ate usually crowded on a Una day like yesterday, were almost deserted. The clerks bung around listlessly. Storekeepers in this district said that the stoppage of trade had caused a loss of thousands of dollars. "Turn the rascals out," suggested a DemocratMr. Cannon said be would not talk about that. Mr. Hewitt was not surprised at that, as it was a delicate subject. Mr. Cannsn said it was a subject he would leave to the Democrats. He was willing that they should turn out the 70,000 Republican officeholders, but it should be done manfully. The Democratic party should say to them: "We won this race. You are good officeholders and -honest men, but we won the race, ar»d you must go." He hated hypocrisy even in such a small matter as the distribution of offices.  St. Locis, Feb. 27. To Mrs. J. Anderson, St. Louis: Your feeling appeal in behalf of Mrs. Catherine Scales, of the Jefferson public school, is Before me, and though you are a stranger to me, I will venture to offer a few facts, which I hope will convince you that Gen. Sherman ought not to bo expected to contribute to this charity, though most worthy. I have owned real property in St. Louis since 1880, on which I have paid thousands of dollars in taxes, though I have not received a cent in return. My family is Catholic, and Mrs. Sherman would no more consent to have her children enter a public school than a common tavern. Therefore, in addition to my school taxes, I have been compelled to pay large prices for education in private schools. Again, for the past twenty years I have been taxed heavily by old Union soldiers, who are sent to me by neighbors, or naturally come to me in their distress. In the markets the effect of the strike was everywhere visible The 'dealers, usually very busy on Friday mornings, were standing about idls. One butcher said that he did not take in a dollar during the morning, and his was not the only case. Along Grand street, the scene of previous troubles, many shopkeepers saw the sun rise with no pleasurable expectations, and it was with serious apprehensions that the stores were opened. The policemen who patrolled in the vicinity were beseeched to remain near the doors. At 8 o'clock the street was crowded from the Bowery to the ferry. Those persons who were not standing still at the street corners were marching in twos and threes and groups of a dozen or more to the starting point of the procession. The sans culottes were out in full force. There were evil faces among the multitude, with bloodshot eyes and disheveled hair. A riot would havo suited them. No conductors or drivers were in the crowd and few curious people were there. It was simply a congregation of the criminal life of the metropolis, relieved at intervals by mounted policemen and officers of the law on foot: At frequent intervals firemen stood eyeing the crowds and the movement of people about the buildings. Grand street, with its alternate wooden rookeries and fine brick buildings is an alarming locality for fires. The firemen were also statiom tl near the boxes to guard against false alarms. The whole scene in the early morning looked ominous. Park row, along by the ppstofflce, the (terminus of so many East side roads, usually ao full of horse cars night and day, looked like an entirely different street The jingle of the bells had ceased completely, and all the life was concentrated at the city hall station tot the elevated road. its marriages and bar- UNDERVALUATIONS. gaining (or The Saaate Sub-Committee Completes Its JOHN R.

Cincinnati, March 8.—Isaac J. Killer, a prominent Democrat, of this city, ex-president of the board of councllmen, before the senatorial election investigation committee offered some startling testimony. He swore that just before the last Ohio legislature panned the law taking police control from the mayor and giving it to a board of police commissioners, John R. McLean came to his office and offered him $1,000, then 12,000, and finally _ 98,000 to say he believed police oommiasionors * Four times the big hand of the industrious eight-day clock crawled patiently around the dial, and every time when it looked down from the highest point in its journey it found the river of the general's eloquence still flowing wildly and tumultuously on. As the speech progressed, the little Texan's chest swelled more and more. It was plain that he had never known how good and pure and useful a citizen be was. The general touched lovingly on his youth, spoke almost with tears of the gentle Texan's trust in our great state and its splendid Jurors, and became rapturously enthused when he spoke of Holland's ineffable candor and veracity. I believe I am thus taxed 96, to II paid by the most wealthy cltisens of St Louis, and this is one of the causes which drives me from St. Louis. I sympathize, of course, with Mrs. Scales and believe the school board can and should provide for her in her old age. They can and must employ her in some nominal capacity. They have no right, after forty years' faithful service; to turn her out in the cold charity of the world. They would not treat a horse in that brutal fashion. I expect to continue to pay over $900 a year to the school tax of St Louis, and cheerfully offer to dedicate the while or a part of it for a fund to maintain worthy teachers who have given the best years of their life to teaching. Over and above my school tax I cannot afford more, and beg you to excuse me. With respect, your friend, W. T. SKSKMAJT. INTERSTATE COMMERCE, Jerome Jones urged the superoedure of the present merchant appraisal system with a larger appraisers' force of higher salaried officials.

He also offered, on condition that he make this statement, to support him heartily for mayor, and to give more money to elect him mayor than he (Miller) would himself. These propositions were not accepted. This is the 4rst intimation of such charges against Mr. McLean, and Mr. Miller's testimony has created a sensation. Miller was chairman of the Democrat!* committee of this county during the Hayes-Tilden cam Washixotoh, Ijirch 6.—The house committee on commerce, by a vote of 9 to 4, agreed to report the Reagan interstate comnerce bill, with various amendments. Those voting for the bill were Messrs. Reagan, Clardy, Crisp, Caldwell, O'Ferrell, Tarnsey, Bynum, Weaver (Neb.) and Morrow. 'If, just at that moment, silver wings had popped out of the little Texan's black coat, and he had sailed out of the window and sped away toward bis far-off Texan home, the jury would simply have wafted tearful good-bys, and not a soul in the big court room would have been in the least surprised. Those voting against it" were Messrs. O'Neil, (Pa.), Davis, Dunham and Johnson. LORD HARTINGTON'8 8PEECH. Mr. Reagan will make the majority and Mr. O'Neill the minority report. This bill requires the common carriers to post rates, prohibits discrimination, places the enforcement of the execution of the law in the hands of the Unite* States district attorneys and gives redress in the courts, while the bill of Senator Cullom delegates all of these powers to a commission, including the fixing of rates, posting them and determining what is discrimination. One of the amendments to Mr. Reagan's bill fixes the penalty at the full amount of damage and the cost of prosecution, instead of three times the amount of damage.

St. Loots, March 6.—All is quiet in the shops of the Missouri Pacific railway, and every man comes and goes ybout his duties as if not dreaming of a threatened uprising. That it will come, however, and come with secrecy and suddenness, is not to be doubted, though it cannot be said just what day or hour the whistle will sound its signal to cease work. The matter of the trouble at tip Crystal Plate Glass works is thrown in the background by the overshadow zing proportions of the threatened battle upon the Gould The news of the settlement of the strike circulated gradually, and as the afternoon wore •on and the the street ears began to appear on •11 the- lines the big crowds of roughs and cut loos folks faded away and the city romuned its usual aspect. Imagine, then, his grief when CoL Fellows stood up and began his speech on the other side. The colonel did not praise The Davis nor the dead and buried Tom. On the contrary, he told the jury there were no words vile enough to describe those two brothers. He said Oey were worse than dogs with hydrophobia. Then the colonel went on to say that if Tom had fallen from a window and broken his neck, the spot where he struck would merit being marked with a white stone and held as consecrated ground. He even said that The could be spared, and expressed the opinion if gaunt death should overtake him the people would be very excusable for indulging in a little hilarious jubilation. A praiseworthy action of the strikers was the furnishing of men to the companies to care for the horses. Another makes every day in a pool a separate offense; and another requires the posting of rates beyond the point of destination within the United States for goods which shall go out of the United States before reaching the destination in this country. It is said that when*the strike commenced $100,000 was furnished to the executive board to carry on the war. The money came mainly from labor organizations.
