Judge Newman then appointed a committee of physicians to examine him, and on their report the execution of the sentence was temporarily suspended.The action of the sheriff in allowing Senator Riddleberger to sit on the porch and make frequent b-ips across the street, almost every half hoar, caused a great deal of indignant comment.- The State Troops Ordered Oat to Sup- press the Hostile Utes.

New York, Aug. 17.—The embezzlement of $100,000 from the tank of the Manhattan company at 40 Wall street, bjr Richard Seaman Scott, its paying teller, fir* ma& known in Jane, 1885, is brought up again by the arret of John R. Dunn, for many yeaw • practicing attorney in this city, on an order Issued by Judge Donohue in a suit by the Manhattan company to reoover $140,000 of the money which was embezzled by Scott Dunn was arrested on Monday, and is in Ludlow street Jail in default of $160,000 bail. Scott escaped on June 1, 1886, and has never returned, being now in London. Dunn is a cousin of Sfcotfs wife, and once had a desk in the law office of W. St & R  ton. Lately he started a (took office at No. 86 New street The law firm of Stern Sc Myers appears for the Manhattan company in the proceeding against Dttim, and arers that he is more guilty than Sooty having incited Scott to commit the crime, and received and kept most of the stolen money. Accompanying the petition for the order of arrest against Dunn is an affidavit, made by Scott himself before Consul General Wal- Isr at London, on June M *#V in which he makes a efoan breast of the affair, IB this affidavit he does'not mince matters, Vat speaks of himself as a thief and of his ait as stealing. Other affidavits are made by Whittlesey D. Searls, vice-president of the Farmen' Loan and Trust company, and his wife, Jennie B. Searls, sister of Mrs. Soott The story, as told by these affidavits, is to this affect: Lonbon, Aug. W.—The circular which Modellers, Russian minister of foreign affairs, has issued to the powers.on the subject of Prince Ferdinand's assumption of the reins of government of Bulgaria, fully expresses the views of Russia and France, and,' judging from its general tone, is put forth as a feeler. After giving the reasons for Russia's attitude, the circular requests the powers to join the czar's government in protesting against the validity of Prince Ferdinand's claims and his action in taking the oath of office and proclaiming himself Priuce of Bulgaria. There is nothing in the circular of a character denoting Russia's determination to oust the new prince at all hazards, but there is throughout a vein of firmness In the note that is calculated to force tho hands of England, Austria and Germany, and cause those powers to say definitely whether or not they intend to act strictly in accordance with the treaty of Berlin, and Whether in the event of their taking no part, active or passive, in the Bulgarian muddle, tbey will acquiesoe in Russia'* maintaining her rights under the same treaty. 'All of the acts of the new prince of Bulgaria thus far have been performed with a view of revering the rule of Prince Alexander and emphasizing the outrage of his expulsion, and the policy of Prinoe Ferdinand in thus acting was evidently conceived with the idea of securing for himself the adherence of the people of Bulgaria, who loved Alexander, and of obtaining the support of England, the pet of whose queen Prinoe- Alexander was and still is. If the preferences of Queen Victoria prevail, England will surely support Prinoe Ferdinand.

He lives in the attic of 123 Cannon street, eating nothing aiaH, the neighbors say, subsisting on stale beer, barring out visitors, refusing to hire a nurse or to pay for medicine, until now he is dying in quarters so foul that the neighbors have aplDealed to the board of health. Weisbaden showed three bank books to the policeman who went around to Investigate. The landlord has tried to get Weisbaden out and to a hospital, but he wont go. The other tenants think he has money concealed t lxDtit the attic. He constantly sits near the loor, and has been seen searching in corners tnd tapping the walls and ceiling.

About the time Boot* ran away there had beea a change in the administration of the Manhattan company, Dewitt C. Hayes, ex-p.fesldent of the stock exchange, having succeeded William Henry Smith as president, and Scott feared that an examination of the book%. would be Instituted, Which would discover his peculations. I*wyer Dunn was his wife's cousin. He went to him for advice. The lawyer, Scott says, asked hlra how much money of the bank he had within his reach at any one time, and he replied that he had 11,000,000 that he could take at any moment. Dunn then said: "My advice to you is to take $1,000,000. Take enough to cripple the bank and go to Canada. If you take a small amount people will laugh at you, but if you take a large sum the people wilt say that you are smart, and you will oompsl tke bank to compromise."Rumors of Irregularities and Talk of Beat Family Flour 4 75 " BUTTER—Good 18c per lk Choice D«iiy Butter.. .2lo " Good cooking butter. ..121c " CHIflSSB—Full cream...:.... lie per Ik BGGS 17 c per doa FKBD—Chop, Corn Meal and Cracked Cora 05 perewt 45 Philadelphia, Aug. IT.—The failure of the Columbian tmpk has given birth to some very ugly rumdrs of alleged irregularities, and to some talk of possible prosecutions. The affairs of the bank are still in a state of ohaos. The assignees are trying to get some light on its business methods. Their investigations have shown that it was very carelessly managed, and that a large portion of its assets consist of merchandise which has little. If any, value. The bank was originally the Columbian Building and Loan association. About 1870 it purchased the charter of a state bank aad changed the title to the Columbian bank. Being a state bank, the law required subscriptions to be paid in money, and not in promissory notes. It made the stockholders liable for twice the amount of their stock. Prosecutions. As yet It is not known that the porta has made any reply to the protest of Russia, presented by the Russian charge d'affaires, but it is likely that it wt|l be acted upon in a manner measurably favorable to Russia, since the sultan has ample excuse for withholding his full recognition of Prince Ferdinand, in the fact that the prince neglected to apply tor and reort ve the porte's consent tohis assuming the throne before going to Bulgaria—a formality required by the terms of the Berlin treaty. The jury than held a secret session. It was decided to bring the inquiry to*close to-day. PouoHrutpant, N.

It is said that in payment for a portion of the stock he gave promissory notes instead of money! and that when failure was imminent these notes were withdrawn and utilised to raise money, and securities having a certain face value, but practically worth lea, were substituted. In addition to this, it is said that the day before the failure a transfer of the stock held by Lawyer John J. Rogers was made to and accepted by President Phillips, relieving Mr. Rogers of the liability attaching to him as a stockholder, and transferring it to Mr. Phillips. It is also charged that although the transfer took place the day before the failure, It bears another date. A ROCHE8TER TRAGEDY. Mr. Cawlae' Body Recovered. The Ohaitly Spectacle Distend by Mr. Montreal, Que., Aug. 17.—Tha body of Edward B. Cowles, of New York, who was drowned in the St Lawrence last week, was found yesterday morning and was brought to this city. . An inquest was held and a verdict of accidental drowning was returned. The affidavit then goes on to speak at other Interviews with Dunn, in which the latter repeatedly urged him to make a "big hauL" He tells of his theft of the additional C190,000, most of which he left with Dunn, and of his escape, in which Dunn aided. Hespsaks of his subsequent desire to effect • settlement with the bank through Dunn, and of the latter's failure to act in his interest He claims that the lawyer wrote him that he had lost the greater part of the stolen money in speculation. This led to the ooufessiou and the arrest An attempt to. blow up the Wart Clare ail way bridge Bear Bonis yesterday bag rented a great aeniatton. The outrage la attributed, of course, to the American section jf Irish dyikanlters, and in support of their Dpliiloli attention is drawn to the faot that the cartridges that did not explode art'bf the American type. This is not tile most conclusive evidenoe that could be brought, but it is quite sufficient to satisfy the police and the public that fee plot was conceived and executed by Irish Americans. It is more probable, however, that the outrage was the work of discharged employes, or peasants actuated by some real or fancied grievance against the railway. K to tie on Returning from Work. Rochester, N. Y-, Aug. 17.—The discovery was made early last evening that the wife of Alonzo A. Stone, a respectable tinner of this city, had been murdered some time during the afternoon.

A few weeks ago the vines were full of berries and looking remarkably healthy, but since then the scald has set in on some of the most prolific bogs, damaging them considerably. In addition to this, the insect plague has cut many of the vines so badly that they look as if a Ore had pasaed through them. Competent judges assert that there will not be more than hall, a crop.  to be a Chestnut. Newport, Aug. 17.—The raoe for the CI tisen's cup was sailed over the "Sow and Pigs" course yesterday. At 10 JO a. m. the Volunteer crossed the line, followed by the Sachem. At 11:80 the Volunteer was leading the Puritan by half a mile, in a very light wind which at times died out altogether. The yachts gradually made their way to the "Sow and Pigs" stake boat, and the Volunteer showed the way around It at 5:4T, and beaded for the "Hen and Chickens." She was then a mile and a half ahead of the Puritan, which lnturn was leading the Sachem by half a mile. The stake boat was tamed by the Puritan and the Sachem In torn and later by the Mayflower. The latter rounded from the •oath instead of the north and thus avoided • double tack. In this way she gained considerable of the seven miles which lay between her and tbe rest of the fleet When darkness shut oat all right of tbe yaahts, the Volunteer was about to torn the seoond buoy with the same relative distance between the others as when the flrst stakeboat was rounded.
