Anoka, Minn., April 8.—The door:* of the First National bank are closed. The cashier is in Canada. The matter has been kept quiet. The particulars, as fully as could be learned, are as follows: P. F. Pratt, cashier of the First National bank of Anoka, went to Minneapolis a week ago last Thursday, comp.aining that he was not well. On Saturday he telephoned the assistant cashier about some matters of busine-F, and to the inquiry as to his health jokingly remarked: "I am sick abed apd looking for watchers." On Friday the bank officials were startled by a notice from the Merchants Bank of St. Paul that the account C f the First National was overdrawn $20,000. A trusted messenger was at once dispatched to St Paul to investigate, and the discovery made that Pratt had drawn out ab .ut $8,000 due the I ank and over twice as much were on his cashier's check. Tne bank examiner was notiflod of the situation, and, in company with the cashier of the Merchants National Bank of St. Paul and a Minneapolis expert, gave a hasty overhauling of the affairs. Eaough was learned to show that matters were in a bad mess and that Pratt is a thief to the extent of nearly $100,000. Pittsburg, Fa., April 8.—The ixtensive axe, shovel and saw factories of HuLbard & Co., on Forty-eighth street, are as complete a ruin by fire as has occurred in this city in years. At 10:80 o'clock yesterday morning fire was discovered in the shovel deportment, and in less than twenty minutes the flames had enveloped the entire factory, consisting of tgur large frame building*. In two hours the entire plant, with its machinery and stock, was a mass of ruins. Loss, $500,000; nearly covered by insurance. coin Park in Chicago. He Preaches to a Large Audi- ence in St. Louis.

"Washing V April 8.—A great many army C fficers nope, for the good of the army, that the proposed general order abolishing Sunday morning inspection will not be is ued. There are no good reasons advanced by its advocates and there are why it should remain a* it is. Sunday, both in the army and navy, is looked upon as "cleaning day," so far as the garrisons and ships are concerned, and no military duty other than that absolutely necessary is performed. The new idea is to have the weekly inspection fixed for Saturday afternoon. 'This makes Sunday a virtual loafing day and idleness begets wickedness. Such distinguished veterans as the late Gen. Sheridan and Gen. Sherman were opposed to the propoee 1 change. On this subject G«n. Sherman said: ''Every well regulated family provides its children with a bath, a changd of clothing and a general poli hing on Sunday morning, and the soldiers being children of the government should be treat-d in the same way."

It occurred after midnight a id exceedjd in severity tho famous August gala of 1879. Ail Water street and intersecting streets on the wharf front were under water at an early hour and nearly reached up the west end of Main street and the custom house. The wharves and warehouses all along the southern and southwestern portion of the city were deeply t-ubmerged and the damage is great all around the harbor, reaching, it is thought, fully a half million dollars. The firm employed 860 men, who will be thrown out of employment for a tim«, it being the intention of the firm to robuilj} immediately. Tho large R&Dt of the firm at Beaver Falls will also clOfetS'wn, as thestcck for the axe factory at this place was furnished by the works in this city. The origin of the Ire is a my .tory. Chicago, April 8.— Saturday night at 8 o'clock Miss Clara Miller, aged 19, a daughter of Millionaire John Miller, of Austin, Ills., escaped from a private insane asylum located in the vicinity of Lincoln park in this city, where she was undergoing treatment. The girl fled through Lincoln park and as she ran divested herself of her sealskin coat, hat, eta, which Bhe threw away while running like a deer. Having darted hither and thither through the winding pathways of the park, meanwhile tearing off the remainder of her clothing, MUs Miller finally succeeded in divesting herself of every particle of clothing, even to shoes and stockings, and in this condition continued to flee through the park in a southerly direction, startling the few people who happened to be abroad in the park on so chilly a* night and frightening the horses of belated pleasure riders homeward bound. London, April 8.—The Times correspondent in Brusiels says that Prinze Victor Napoleon visited Gen. B Dulander on Saturday and that the two had a long conference on Sunday in a restaurant in the outskirts o! the city. Men In Great Cities. St. Louis, April 7.—The Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, D. D., of Brooklyn, preached here this evening to a vast audience. His subject was "The Slaughter,".and his text, Proverbs Vii, 22: "As an ox to the slaughter." The eloquent preacher said: The Lute Duchess of Cambridge. Stranger: "Great Scott! I what are you doing with that watch of jours ?" London, April 8. —It is announced that in consequence o the death of the Duchess ol Cambridge the drawing room which was to have been held on Friday April 12, and other court receptions which ware contemplated, have ' een indefinitely postponed. Alth u»h tho duchess was latterly shown extraordinary attention bv various members of the royal family, the Princess of Wales was the only one of her relatives present at the time o her death. In spite of her lara;e pecuniary resources the old lady lived for years in damp apartments in St. James' pa'ace. She was very fond of show, but was entirely with ut taste, as the tawdry furnishing of her rooms attests. There is nothing in the voice or manner of the butcher to indicate to the ox that there is death ahead. The ox thinks he is going on to a rich pasture field of clover, where all day long he will revel in the herbaceous luxuriance; but after a while the men and the boys close in upon him with sticks and stone* and shouting, and drive him through ban and into a doorway, Where he is fastened, and with a well aimed stroke the ax fells him; and so the anticipation of the redolent pasture field is completely disappointed. 80 many a young man has been driven on by temptation to what he thought would be paradisiacal enjoyment; but after awhile influences with darker hue and swarthier arm close in upon him, and he finds that instead of making an excursion into a garden be has been driven "as an ox to the slaughter."

Chamberlain, D. T., April 8.—The people on the passenger train from the east on the S*. Paul road Saturday had an exciting ex perlem« near Mt Vernon. A prairie fire was raging around the track, and tlie engineer, not knowing its extant, ran into it, expecting to run through to safety in a few moments. He found the fire getting worse, however, and finally stopped, but could not run back, as the flames behind had made the track unsafe. The passengers and train hands got out and fought the fire, but the danger kept increasing. Finally tho engineer was forced to proceed, as to remain still would have been fatal It was feared that the rails were warped and tho passengers expected a terrible accident, but after what seemed a long period of suspense the train emerged from the arn )k) and fl imsy safely. Seven.I of the passengers who had engaged in fighting the flames were painfully burned. The women passengers were terribly agitated by thalr alarming experience. Not knowing when or where the end might be, tfie directors concludad t) place the bank in the hands of the bank examiner and he will appoint a receiver to settle the affairs or close up the business. The lime warehouses along Water street took fire yesterday and spread to stables and sheds and then to the warehouses of Batchelder & Collins, J. W. Perry & Co., R. W. Pantos & Co., and John C. Gamin, ail succumbing to the flames. These were followed by the old cotton exchange and adjacent build iugs and about 1,000 bales of cotton and other stuff. The gale carried away the roof of the opera house on Church street, the Virginia Beach depot and various other buildings in the city. "I* Marriage A Failure" It is impossible to tell how great has been Pratt's villainy and the ba k's correspondent in both Chicago and New York' Allowed him to overdraw to the amount of $15,000. It is probable that he has drawn to the full limit of both banks. They have beon telegraphed to refuse payment on ail checks signed by Pratt In addition to this he raised about $30,000 on his personal note, indorsed by Mrs. Nelland, an aged widow residing in Dayton, who trusted Pratt to manage her business matters to a large extent.

Henry George's Land Theories. THE DISASTER AT SAMOA. London, A|ril 8.—The announcement ii made that Henry George on the part oi Ame'ioa, Mr. William Saunders on the pari of England and Herr Fiui schoim on the pari of Germany, have arranged to hold an international conference on the land question in Paris during the second week in June. In view of the remarkable success which has attended Mr. George's lectures in England ann Wales the interest in the conference will b« very great Mr. George has made a surprisingly large number of converts to his theory from among the uppers classes, inc'uding many gentlemen hitherto conspicuous in denouncing both the man and his method. During the past week there has been considerable talk in naval circles about the responsibility for the recent disaster at Samoa. A number of the most pronounced disciplinarians of the service are not slow to condemn the action of Admiral Kimberly In allowing the vessels to be caught in such a storm without using some precautionary measures. This was the season of the year when hurricanes and tidal waves might be looked for, and the sailing directions plainly state this fact. Many officers think, especially since the story of the escape of the British steamer Calliope, that there is sure to be an investigation by a court of inquiry. The loss of life and ships will have to be inquired into. If there was coal enough to get up steam on the ships it was, they Bay, Admiral Kimberly's duty to have fired up and run them out of the harbor, as the commander of the Calliope did, and then rode out the gale. If there was no coal, then the cause of this state o( affairs should be inquired into and the responsibility placed where it belongs. . I. We are apt to blame young men for being destroyed when we ought to blame the influences that destroy them. Society ■laughters a great many young men by the behest, "You must keep up appearances; whatever be your salary, you must dress as well as others, you must wine and brandy as many friends, you must smoke as costly cigars, you must give as expensive entertainments, and you must live in as fashionable a boarding house. H you haven't the money, borrow. If you can't borrow make a false entry, or subtract here and there a bill from a bundle of bank bills; you will only have to make the deception a little while; la a few months, or in a year Cy two, you can make all right. Nobody will be hurt by It; nobody will be tho wiser. You yourself will not bo damaged." By that awful process a hundred thousand men have been slaughtered for time and slaughtered for eternity. At 10 o'clock there was ten inches of water in the station house cells, and the prisoners arrested during the night had to bo taken out In the jail was a still greater flood, and the prisoners had to be remove 1 from the lower to the upper cells, causing great excitement among them. The wood and lu nber yard-i suffered great damage from submerges, and a number of vessels dragged their anchors and were driven ashorj. One schooner was badly damaged by firo from the cotton exchange on the h:irbor. A DYNAMITE FIEND. An Infernal Machine Left nn the Desk of Justice Hammer* In Newark. SAVANNAH'S GREAT LOSS. "Yes, Pm a girl, but don't "tell anyba ly," answered the woman, whom the policeman had caught and was too astonished to let go. "I want to stay here to-night anl don't want any one to know where I am." Newark, N. J., April 8.—"You have sent two of my countrymen to jail and you will die for it." said a dark faced Russian to Justice Sommeis, of Newark, N. J., Saturday evening while the latter was on his way to his office. Ti:e stranger referred to the case of a couple whom the judge had sentenced to six months for bigamy two weeks ago. Justice Sommers laughed at the Mlow's threats and went on his way, but on entering his office, opposite the court house, he found a round package on his desk addressed to himself.Many linlldlngs Destroyed bv Fire—The Loss Near 91,000,000. On the Portsmouth side of the river the lime warehouse of Traul Terugin & Co. and other buildings were destroyel. At the navy yard the Pensacola was sunk in the dry dock, and the new Simpson dock was overflowed and very badly wrecked. The marine ltarracks and other buildings of the yard were injured by the rain and wind. The insurance companies have lost heavily on the freight stored in the transportation -warehouses and at the raiiroa l depjts damaged by overflow. Women and children from houses on Water street were placed on bales of cotton and floated to dry land. Severeal sick persons were also rescued by this method. None of the outgoing steamers were able to go as far as Old Poiut Saturday or Sunday. They struck the'storm in Hampton Roads and were forced to return. Savannah, Ga., April 8.—A fire here on Saturday night destroyed all the buildings between York and South Broad street* on each s'de of Whittaker street None of them were valuable structures and the loss will not exceed $30,000. Prom Whittaker street, east, along the north side of South Broad street, within one house of Bull streot, every building was burned. The building left standing was the wid-ance of Dr. Hopps, a large brick structure. No loss of life is reported and no serious casualties.

"They are about a mile from here, up in the park. I pulled them all off, so I could outrun the doctors and the nurses and so people wouldn't know me, and I did outrun them, and people got scared of me and ran away, and the horses all got scared, too, and I ran in here and am going to stay, too." The Emperor of Germany on Saturday entertained the Grand Du' e Michael of Russia and his eon at dinner. Supposo you borrow. There is nothing wrong about borrowing money. There Is hardly a man in the house but has sometime* borrowed money. Vast estates have been built on a borrowed dollar. But there are two kinds of borrowed money. Money borrowed for the purpose of starting or keeping up legitimate enterprise and. expense, and IDODUy borrowed to get that which you can do without. The first is right, the other is Wrong. If you havo money enough of your jwn to buy a coat, however plain, and then you borrow money for a dandy's outfit, you have taken the first revolution of the wheel down grado.

The engineers old stiff and greasy overalls were produced by the fireman and the now shivering girl was induced to put them on. Then the old coat wai brought and wrapped around the slender form and buttoned up to the chin. A light was brought and both men were astonished to see before them a tall, slender, delicate lookiug woman with skin as white as snow, an oval face with refinement, culture and intellect showing in every lineanent, dark groy eyes with a sparkling, alert expression, and black hair. The North Hoisted street patrol wagon was called and the poor girl was taken to tho East Chicago avenue station, but an hour later was returned to the Sanitarium ia chirgi of physicians.  Vienna, April 8,—Emperor Francis Joseph received a German deputation headed by Maj. Menges, who presented to his majesty the first fpecimers of a new repeating rifle. The capacity and facility cf the weapon were afterwards exhibited at a special drill Th( rifle was unanimously pronounced a success and will probably be adoptei by the Austrian war department Since the appointment of the collector and postmaster of New York the interest and attention of New York politicians have considerably subsided. Only two more important appointments ata expected there soon, and they are the appraiser of the port and the general appraiser. The first named office is one of political importance, as there is considerable patronage attached to it. The general appraiser is also an office of importance to merchants, but not especially so to politicians. It is understood that the appointment of naval officer for New York has been postponed, and the same is true of United States marshal for that district Gen. Jamon O'Beirne is prominently mentioned for that place, but the present incumbent. Marshal McMahon, will probably remain until Jply and, possibly, remain even four months longer than that It all depends upon the deci ion which the president and the attorney general arrive at as to when the term of office of a man appointed in vacation expires. The New York marshal was appointed four years ago next July, but was not confirmed until the senate met in the December following. The commission runs for four years from the time of confirmation. M. Sternberg, jeweler, on Broughton streetj was alDo burned out His loss is $60,000. A small dry goods store adjoining was destroyed, and all the buildings on the south side of the block on York street between Whittaker aud Bull strae s. It is believed the total loss will not fall short of (1,000,000. Fire engines were started from the neighboring cities, but they were orderad back before reaching here.

A Noted Abolitionist Deild. Boston, April 8.—Lewis Hay den (colored), the noted Abolitionist, dio i on Sunday, aged about 73 years, of Bright's disease. He was born a slave in Kentucky, escaped to Canada in 1844, visit d Boston in 1845, and obtained celebrity by his brilliant oratory on behalf of tho fugitive slaves; was engaged by the Anti- Slavery society to lecture in New England and New York; finally settled here in 1848, from which time his residence became a headquarters for fugitives and Abolitionists; wat at one time established in business by antislavery friends; entered the office of the secretary of state about thirty years ago, and was employed there at the time of his death. He was prominent in recruiting colored soldiers during the war. He served one term iu the state house of representatives. Lately he was active in securing the recognition of colored lodges in Masonry. He had great influence among his colored fellow citizens.

Alexandria, Va., April 8.—The Baltimore steamer Sue reached here ahead of time last night, having been prevented by the storm Irom making her usual landings on the Potomac, and so came straight up the river. Capt. Geoghegan reports that he never before saw such a sea iu the Potomac river. Capt. McKenny's fishing sc'.iooner, Daniel Augusta, was wrecked on tho ledge of rocks at the mouth of Quantico Creek. Almost all the fish on board were swept away on the Potumac. No loss of life. Thinks Gladstone Is a Humbug. Nkw York, April 8.—At the meotiug of the Anti-Poverty society last night at Cooper Union James Redpath,who recently returned from Ireland, was received with enthusiasm. His health is evidently much improved, but he has not yet gained control of his voice. The Land league, he reports, lias reduced the rents in Ireland $25,000,000 a year. Threefifths of the money for the Land league has come from America. Only two priests out of 3,000 there have not oome out openly for the Irish cause. He said among other things: "I think Gladstone a grand old humbug, and if the freedom of Ireland depends on his sincerity I should sadly* fear for the success ol her cause." Ur. Redpath thought that Ireland would have home rflle within three years.

It is said that sufficient evidence was adduce t against the woman to hold her to await the action of the grond jury. Her husband, who is an old man, it in thought, will recover.

Gen. Fall-child Resting. The trouble is, my friends, the people do not understand the ethics of going in debt, and that if you purchase goods with no expectation of paying for them, or go into debts which you cannot meet, you steal just so much money. If I go into a grocer's store, and I buy sugars and coffees and meats, with no capacity to pay for them and no intention of paying for them, I am more dishonest than if I go into the store, and when the grocer's faco is turned the other way I fill my pockets with the articles of merchandise and carry off a ham. In tho one case I take the merchant's time, and I take the time of his messenger to transfer the gooCls to my house, while in the other case I take none of the time of the merchant, and I wait upon myself, and I transfer the goods without any trouble to him. In other words, a sneak thief is not so bad as a mail who contracts for debts he never expects to pay. 23 b»r» While Hounuio 1 Oanhkd Goods—51b ou beat Appte Butlar I 61b '• '• JtUr i " « U ' CONDENSED NEWS.
