FRANCE, Bazaine’s Trial Proceeding—Some of the Specifi- cations Against the Old Soldier. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK FERALD. Pants, Oct. 7, 1873. The second sitting of the court martial for the “trial of Marshal Bazaine began at noon to-day. There were few spectators present, owing to the uninteresting character of the proceedings, which consisted mainly of the reading of documents. It was agreed between counsel that the deposi- tions of dead and absent witnesses should be ad- niitted. The President said measures had been taken to secure the attendance of witnesses living in Alsace and Lorraine, The Clerk resumed the reading of M. Riviere’s report, which is a very lengthy document. M. Riviere lays great stress on Bazaine’s failure to move from Metz when notified of MacMahon’s advance, and claims that there is proof that the | former personally received the notification on the | 23a of August, ‘Yhe Marshal’s friends have hitherto alleged that it was not received until the 29th, When it was too late. The report generaily stigma 3 msuffictent ali the efforts made from Metz to co-operate with MacMahon, and cnarges Bazaine with purposely remaining in the city to await politi- | cal events; with endeavoring to shitt the | responsibility; with propagating unfavorable and withiolding favorable news and otherwise spreading discouragement among the besieged: with entering into negotiatious with Prince Fred- | erick Charies beiore making a final effort to break | his lines, which is deciared unprecedented in his- tory; with conflding the date at which he was willing to surrender to Regnier, who. was a Stranger and at the time in relations with the enemy, It points: to the contradictory despatches of the 26th of August, in which Bazaine iniormed Mac- Mahon it was possible, and Palikao impossible, to break out. Pending the reading of the report the Court adjourned until to-morrow, Garibaldi in Paris. Paris, Oct. 7, 1873. General Garibaldi has arrived in this city.

ROCKLAND, Mo., Oct. 7, 187: In the trial of Miss Mink to-day, ten witnesses for the prosecution were examined, including Dr. Baker's housekeeper, Warren Mink, Jr., one of theetwo little boys, who were the only inmates of the house at the time of the murder except the prisoner, several of the neigh, bors, who were the first to visit the house on the morning after the homicide. The Coroner who held the inquest and Dr. Walker, one of the two physicians who conducted the post- mortem examination. The boy testified to having seen Dr. Baker go to the house the afternoon pre- ceding the murder, and, after askii for the risoner, go to the back door and try to'get tn, and eard him say, “Lucy is up to some of her old | tricks, Telling his aunt of this when he went in a short time after, the boy heard her say that be would find out wiat these old tricks were. Dr. Walker's testimony was the mos¢ {important given to-day. He states that the lower wound, where the bullet entered, between the fifth and sixth ribs at the point of their attachment to the sternum and passed through the heart and left lung and lodged under the seventh rib near the spinal column, would produce death in a very few minutes. He believes this wound was received first while the Doctor was standing, and was the cause of death. ‘The skin around this wound was blackened, but not burned. The second ball entered between the second and third ribs, passed Ge outside the cavity of the chest and under the clanicle and into the side of the neck, where it was lost. Dr. Walker believes this wound was received while the murdered man lay upon his back. The cuticle around this wound was burned off, indicating a closer proximity of tiie weapon. Miss Mink has generally preserved the same calm and sel!-possessed demeanor during the day which bharacterized her yesterday.

A Eo Boat Racing on the Schuylkill River. The Friendship Crew Beat the Analostans ari the Argonautas the Nassans—Courtenay’s Boat Cat and Hacked Malicious- ly—Miserable Conduct of the Philadelphians, PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 7, 1873. The condition of the water of the Schuylkill and the threatening aspect of the weather was such this morning that it was feared that the regatta, much to the disappointment of many persons in- terested in aquatic sports, would be postponed. Long before noon signs of a breaking sky and clearing weather began to show themselves, By twelve o'clock the clouds passed out at intervals, but the wind was strong and cold. All around the beats and boat houses there was a busy stir. The accident to Courtenay’s boat, which had been cut and hacked in the most maliclous manner during the night, was the subject of universal comment, This act of vandalism was condemned in a man- ner which showed plainly the feeling with which the dastard act was regarded. The Vesper Club, Whose guest Courtenay was, were wild with indig- nation over the matter. About hal!-past one o'clock it was decided that the umpire, Mr. James Watson, sould go over the course and see whether the water was in condition for racing, Accord- ingly, and as soon as practicable, a trio left the Undine boat house and proceeded over the whole course. The water was somewhat lumpy and the wind was blowing very fresh, There was a pros- pect, however, that the wind would somewhat sub- Side in the afternoon, and it was therefore deter- mined that the four-oared trial heats should be Tun, the first race to take place at haif-past four o’clock. Shortly after four the tug Fraley left for the starting point. After @ short trip np the iver, with @ cola wind blowing, the Fraley arrived at her destination, The boats and boats’ crews who were to contest, consisting of the Analostan crew, of Washington; the Friena- ship, 01 New York; the Vesper, the Quaker City aud Crescent, of Philadelphia; the Nassan, of New York, and the Argonauta, of Bergen Point, N. J., were all ou hand. It was arranged that three trial heats, distance a mile and a half, should be rowed to-day, the winners of each dash to row a final heat to-morrow, the winner of which would be de- clared the victor. About five o’clock the scene about the Falls bridge was a lively one, The crews were busy on shore. The sufi was now shin- ing beautifully, and the water was comparatively smooth. The Analostans were first to the starting point, and had the east snore. THE FIRST BAT. The crews to contest in the first heat were the Analostans, of Washington, and the Friendships, of New York. The following are the crews and their weights :—The Aualostans—Charles A, Brown, bow, 140 Ibs.; A. L. Prescott, No. 2, 145 lbs.; T. H. Up- perman, No. 3, 165 lbs., and H. M. Gurley, stroke, ‘150 lbs. The Friendships—J. L. McCanill, bow, 135 Ibs.; M. Robinson, No, 2,150 Ibs.; W. T. Hurley, No. 3, 142 Ibs,; W. H. Hughes, stroke, 146 Ibs, At ten minutes after five both crews got away in ele- gant style, the Friendship getting decidedly the advantage of the start, with a rapid stroke, The Friendship won the heat in 9m. 453, THE SECOND HEAT, in which the three Philadelphia clabs, the Vespers, the Quaker City and the Crescents, were brought together, promised to prove of much interest, but turned out otherwise, The contestants were at their stakeboats sharp on time. From the manner in which the stakeboats were moorea it appeared from the judges’ boat that the crew on the eastern shore was at a disadvantage, the others being full a haifboat’s length in advance. When the wor “Go” was given the Vesper crew, which was on the eastern shore, was evidently not ready, as they hesitated tor a couple of seconds alter the other two crews got away. ‘The Quakers and Crescents started off, pulling a rapid stroke, while the Vespers were evidently endeavoring to get the hang of their stroke before settling down to their work. The Quakers and the Crescents had not rowed more than two furlongs before a foui re- suited. These bouts had the middle of the river and the Crescents, m endeavoring to cross over into the Quakers’ water, fouled with tue latter's boat. Atthe time the fou! occurred the Vespers were nearly On a line with the others, and the pros- pects of a good race were fair. Fora time the boats struggied to free themselves. At one time they nearly succeeded in cutting loose, but just at this juncture the referee called out to all the boats to come back. At the time the call was made the Vespers had a fair lead and had fairly settled down to their work. A numbef of gentlemen on the tug called out to the Vespers to ‘come back,” while an equal number calied out to them to “go on.” For a crew to determine which was right was almost impossible, as they could not distinguish the voice of the umpire irom the others; so they continued on their course to the end, The umpire declared them distanced; ordered the Quaker City crew to row over the course, and decided a toul against the Crescents, THE THIRD HEAT was between the Nassaus, of New York, and the Argonautas, of Bergen Point. For a long time each of these crews has been anxious to Measure the other’s strength at the oar. The Nassau crew was composed of Frank G. Brown, bow; Walker, No. 2; Montgomery, No. 8, and Oliver Johnson, stroke. The Argonauta crew was Ed. Smith, bow; Waiter Man, No. tephenson, No. 3, and Eldred, stroke. Night was fast falling when the boats came to the starting point. The Nassaus had the eastern shore and the Argonautas the centre ofthe river, When the word ‘Go’ was given both boats got away, the Nassaus catching water first. The start was a good one, and regrets were freely expressed thal there was not more light so as to distinguish more accurately the working of the men. AS nearly as could be judged the Nassaus were pulling the more rapid stroke of the two, but Eldred’s steady stroke was telling to advantage. Before a quarter of a mile was rowed the Argo- nautas gota good lead onthe Nassaus, and they were evidently resolved to hold it, Johnson worked hard and weil to catch up, and Eldred, too, “put on the beef,’ and not only held the lead he had but made the gap wider. Belore hal! the course was rowed over the Ber- gen Point boys had made a breach of fully ten boats’ lengths between them and the New Yorkers, Still the Nassaus were polling a plucky stern chase. Off Peter’s Isiand the Nagsaus made a spurt and lessened the distance between them. Both boats from giving thetr boats ordinary shelter, she nas left the visitors to look out for themselves. Such are the circumstances amid which the Na- tional regatta was this day usbered im, and although the writer is a resident of the Quaker City he could not be induced to raise his voice against any effort that might be made to locate the next regatta elsewhere. THE “HUB” ENLARGED. Annexation of the Towns of Charles- town, West Roxbury and Brighton to Boston—Brookline out in the Cold—The Bostonians Now 300,000 Strong—Tabu- lar Statement of the Vote. Boston, Oct, 7, 1873, After years of patient and persistent effort, cool and sober calculation and steady progress on- ward, Boston has at last broke out of the narrow confines which have bounded its territorial exist- ence, and will, on the opening of the New Year, stand forth a {ull fledged city, with a population of 300,000 souls, The Legislature of last winter, you Will remember, passed an act, approved by the Governor, whereby the city of Ohariestown and the towns of West Roxbury, Brookline and Brighton were to be annexed to Boston if such act were ratified by vote of the inhabitants of those places and of Boston—that is to say, all parties being willing, the aforesaid vote ‘to be taker on 7th day of October, 1873.7 Simultaneously with the promulgation of the act the friends and op- ponents of annexation went to work, and have labored vigorously up to THE CLOSE OF THE POLLS, at six o’clock this evening. Boston wanted Charles- town not alone because of its large population, but because of its magnificent supply oi water, the addition of which tothe quantity derived from Lake Cochituate would prevent this city from ex- pending at least $10,000,000 to increase its present facilitics, Its citizens, conjointly with thetr Charles- town supporters, urged as an additional argument in favor of annexation that two large cities ougut not vo exist under different governments on both sides of Charles River, a navigable lughway. The arguments of Chariestown people against annexa- tion may be summed up in the declarations that the city was already complete itseif, with good streets, sewers and Water, and, above all, BUNKER MILL MONUMENT, andthat its amalgamation with this city would ive the Charlestownians nothing in particular and mock the 17th of June into msigniiicance. Boston wanted Brookline, because by the acquisition of that territory space would be afforded for a public park, and Brookline people, or a majority of them, Opposed aunexation because they were AFRAID OF AN INCREASE OF TAXES, and besides, notwithstanding the fuct that 500 of the 1,200 voters of the town are Boston mer- cnants, they dreaded the spectre of centralization. Boston wanted West Roxbury for the same reason that it wanted Brookline, and those woo opposed its annexation offered similar reasons for their course to those put forth by the old fogies of Brook: line. Boston wanted Brighton because a great deal of the taxable property of that town was owned in this city, and Brighton people little opposition. However, the fight on all was a good one while it lasted, and everybody is thanktul that ithas come to aciose. Appended are the results oi the votes in the several locall- ues: In Favor of Opposed to Totens. Annexation, Aunexation, Charlestown 5,916 1 dé West Roxbury 6,109 Brookline. 6,16 Brighton. were now too near the goal jor the rear boat to | get up, unless some unforeseen accident occurred. after a hard struggle, in which the Nassaus were defeated, the Argonautas crossed the line as victors, making the mile and a half im 8m. 16%s, The Nassaus came in about three buats’ lengths behind. A BEGGARLY SHOWING. Brilliant as were many of the contests to-day, the regatta itsel! can hardly be regarded in the light ofa success, From a national association, compre- hending different clubs, a meagre representation of twenty or so, even regarding them as the most admirable which a discriminating judgment could have possibly selected, must necessarily fatl to crown our Waters as a national organization should do, and must prove proportionately inade- quate to place before the people in a proper light the interest of our country in aquatic sports, The pecnle, for the most part unskilled in the graceful handling of an oar, draw their deductions more from numbers than from any individual excellence inacontest limited to @ few, and at the close of the day's work we are not surprised that many went back to their city homes dissatistied, ‘rhe management of the whole adair has been highly censurable throughout, and distant clubs, while receiving no welcome whatever, have been thrown upon the resources of AN EXCEEDINGLY INDIFFERENT HOSPITALITY, This morning Many ot the doors of local clubs were locked, and che members could nowhere be found, The whereabouts of the Commodore were as indefinite as if they had been located somewhere amid the inaccessible regions of the North Pole, and their oarsmen, reporters and visitors had to make the best of it and gain their tuformation in the most roundabout methods imaginable. One club that the writer can designate, alter sending word conceraing the hour of its arrival, found no one at the Market street depot togive it a welcome, and the crew had to engage a negro to watch their boat for three hours while they were searching for the direction of their quarters and engaging assist- ants to give them aid in conveying their boat to the water. Such an incident as this is well calcu- lated to dampen the spirits of any crew, and one cannot blame them if they inadvertently indulged in exceedingly animated remarks. The success of any regatta depends in a great measure upon the interest taken by the city in whtch itis held, In regard to this matter Philadel- phia has shown the same indifference and con- servatism as she shows in regard to almost every- thing else, and has considered her duty entirely fulfilled in giving the boats of visiting clubs simple rotection [rom wind and rain The expense she Eas gone to thus far in rendering the event pleas- ant and satisfactory could very easily be covered with $50, while the attention and courtesy extended to visitors have amounted to really nothing at all. THE INDUCEMENTS OFFERED BY PHILADELPHIA to the National Association were these, She could furnish her own prizes independent of any outside Assistance and could agord visiting clubs all the hospitality which they could reasonably expect. But this Bay tr she has done neither the one nor the other, the contrary, One of the richest prizes hag been derived (rom apacuer auacter, aug, agige Majority in favor. * VOTE OF BRIGHTON, In favor of annexation.

As will be seen by tis tabular statement the city of Chariestown and the towns of West Roxbury and Brighton are to form part of the municipality, and the position, or out in cold. might be called figuratively an isiand, ior Boston wili stretch entirely around it, reducing its people to the ulttmate necessity of applying again for per- mission to be annexed. The total population of Boston in 1870 showed the figures 250,513, Charies- town in the same year “iad 2 population of 28, West Roxbury had a population o( 8,66; Brighton, had a population of 4,970. Add these figures and’ there is a total of 99 en, women and children, estimated on the but which would somewhat exceed taken at the present tune. WHAT BOSTON GAINS. Boston by the action of to-day gains six wards, making its total number of Wards twenty-two, a great increase im Valuation, an almost unlimited supply of er, harbor and river frontage unsur- passed; and also gains the satisfaction of having accomplished an object on which the hearts of the | people have been set for years and tie accomplisn- ment ol which, it is urged, will add greatly to the prosperity of the commuaity. The anomalous position in which Brookline nas been placed by the action of its townspeopie to-day is the only draw- K to-the general season of congratulation which prevails in Boston to-nigat, notwithstand- ing the inclemency of the weather. THE BOLD BRITON BRINDLEY ON THE BOLDER BRITON BRADLAUGEL A couple of hundred persons coliected in the Cooper Institute last evening to hear the Rev. Dr. Brindley, of England, lecture on Bradiauga, of the same post office address. Brindley’s purpose in life is to go for Bradlaugh hammer and tongs, and he has actually paid his way out here, cabin pas- sage, to hunt up and show up. and finally shut up the six-foot leader of the English radicals, He is determined to keep on after Bradlaugh hot-foot, and wherever that em- inent individual leaves a trace of his pres- ence, there will tie indefatigable Briudley be, with his orthodox whitewasi brush, to wipe out the name and memory of his free-thinking countryman, Dr. Brindley is au interesting orator and the most simpie-minded Briton that has pre- sented himseli at the Cooper Institute for some time. His voice is as tunny as a Punch and Judy's, and when the audience of last night roared with laughter it was impossibie to tell whether it was at what Brindley said or Brindley’s method and voice in saying it. Some of tue auditors were beery and disposed to ask beery questions. ‘the speaker said England was full of wealth and that iabor Was never so well paid. Everybody was nary and Bradlaugh was an incendiary, a story teller, @ nuisance, who would make a rumpus and make everybody miserable, even in the Garden of Eden, “Were you ever in a casual ward ?”? asked a smudgy fellow in the back of the hail “No,” answered the bold Brindley, “but if you were there now it would save the police trouble.” And so he replied to other impertinent questions, until he Made the impression that he Was not quite such @ fool as he looked. He said Bradiaugh was an atheist, Whose beef is that “brain power is the only soul in man,” and that as he was th In fact, Brookline played out in England te had come over here to air his theories, and k up pennies, “You know where Cheshire is said Brindley— “Cheshire, where the cheese is made’—and Brind- ley was about to tell a story on this head, when a donkey at the back of the hail cried out, ‘There ain’t no cheese made there now. It's ail done in Duchess Sapolied No telling what a good thing this fellow spoiled by his remark. Bradlaugh, any- how, Was scalped and vivisected, and Brindley took his tomahawk and hmsell away svon aiter. “FOR YOUR OWN SAKE, id A large audience assembled Jast evening in the Church of the Disciples, at Madison avenue, corner of Forty-fifth street, to listen to a lecture which was delivered by Miss Anna Dickinson, with the somewhat enigmatical title of “For Your Own Sake.’ The audience were puzzled to an ex- tremity by the strange name of the lecture, and were not much better informed when it was ended than when it began, The Rev. Dr. Hepworth introduced the fatr lec- tress to his audience in some brief, but very laudatory remarks.

Some people could not Walk or talk naturally ina room because other people were looking at them, and women were in the habit of clothing themselves in purpic and fine linen while their husbands were being bankrupted, Just to please other people, who would say, “Whar a fool that woman ts | and “Who pays for it?"

The Treasury’s Tinkering with the Forty- four Million Reserve. * CONGRESS TO KNOW THE REASON WHY, The Centralization Policy Causing Trouble Between Secretaries Fish and Richardson, WASHINGTON, Oct. 7, 1873, The Government in a Financial Quan- dary—Seeretary Fish and Secretary Richardson at Loggerheads. Senator Cameron had a long interview with the President this afternoon, during which financial matters were talked over at length. The Senator said he understood the President to say that vie forty-four million reserve would not be drawn upon, and was very much suprised when assured that nearly three millions had already been used. Mr. Cameron is of the same opinion with Sherman, Morrill and other Senators that the Secretary of the Treasury has exceeded his authority, and that Oongress will be obliged to take notice of the transgression when it meets in December, He does not blame the Secretary for purchasing bonds, but thinks he slfould have lim- ited the purchase to an amount which would not have reduced the currency balance so low as to make it necessary to encroach on disputed ground. Should there be a renewal of the debate Senator Cameron is of opinion that Congress will not leave the legal tender reserve in doubt, but enact that the maxim amount of the legal tender circulation shall not exceed $356,000,000. In explanation of the large purchase of bonds made during the panic the Treasury Department says that neither the President nor any of his advisers thought for a moment that ten million of bonds would be purchased. The amount was made large for effect and no one was more astonished than the President and Secretary Richardson when nearly ten millions had been bought in New York, Phila- delphia and Washington. The crder was then in- creased two million, and it was when the Secretary dis:sovered that there was no probability of the de- mand ceasing that the order to Assistant Treasurer Hillhovse was issued to stop further pur- chases at once, the amount footing up $11,810,950, involving an expenditure of over $13,000,000 in greenbacks. This reduced the currency balance to less than a million, with large disbursements to ve made between the 20th of September and the 3d of October. In the meantime customs revenue receipts had fallen off fifty percent, and internal revenue receipts twenty-five percent. On the afternoon o/ Friday last the daily statement of balances showed only $356,000,000 of legal tenders outstanding, but on the following day the announcement was made that nearly $2,600,000 had been drawn out; yes- terday $70,000, and to-day over $100,000, Disburse- ments continue to be large, and receipts decrease every day, 80 that it will be necessary to make a further draw on the reserve or cease payment of the government liabilities. Secretary Richardson ts not wholly unprepared for Congressional action, and while the country was praising the President for his course a friend | of the Secretary remarked to him, “The President, you see Mr. Secretary, gets all the credit for the assistance rendered the country?’ To which Mr. Richardson added, “Yes, and I will get ail the blame.’? It is generally known that it was by order of the President that the first order to purchase bonds was issued, asayear agohe directed the sale of $5,000,000 of gold and the purchase of $5,000,000 of bonds. When leading republican Senators at the last session of Congress were | ready to support the resolution offered by Mr. Sherman substantially censuring Mr. Secretary Boutweli for increasing the volume of legal ten- ders, the point was made in this correspondence that the censure would fall on the President, as at | that time Mr. Boutwell was on a campaign tour in | the West, and his address could not be obtained, though telegraphed for in every direction, and Mr. Richardson, as Acting Secretary of the Treasury, merely executed the order of the Presi- dent, issued after consultation with Treasurer | | | \ Spinner. The resolution was not passed, but both Mr. Boutwell and Mr. Richardson said at the time of the discussion that | they would regard the course of the Committee on Finance as advisory and respect it as much as | though 1n form of joint resolution signed by the | President. Neither of these gentlemen, however, doubted his legal authority to do what had been done. Should Congress attempt any legislation, | the question, it is said to-night by a prominent | Senator whose opinions on finance are much respected, will be raised as to what extent the President of the United States has authority to require heads of departments to obey his orders. For to such an extent has the custom obtained under this administration that Cabinet officers take advan- tage of it on every occasion. A notable instance of this was the transfer of the State Department funds from Baring Brothers to Clews, Habicht & Co., two years ago. The old and the new bankers were both informed that it had been done “by direction of the President,” whereas it was a mat- ter of choice of the Secretary of State, tounded on political reasons, which the President cheerfully endorsed. On Saturday last the President directed that Morton, Rose & Co., of London, should be the successors of Ciews, Habicnt & Co, as the depository of consular funds of the United States, and the Secretary of State took occasion to renew his views on the centralization of all authority in the name of the President and to urge upon the secretary of the Treasury the eminent propriety of making the State Department responsible for all the financial business relations between our Ministers and Con- suis. Mr. Fish further expressed the wish that hereaiter the Treasury Department, should be closed against all foreign Ministers and members of legations, so that whatever business these gentlemen had to transact should be done by letter through the State Department. The head of this de- partment thought ithighly improper tor a subordi- nate of the Treasury Department to correspond di- rectly with our consuls, but urged that it also should be done through and with the approbation of the Secretary of State, Mr. Richardson, who is ready to recognize the authority of the President, could not agree with Mr. Fish, and drew the dis- Unction between the political relations of consuis to the State Department and their obligations financially to the Treasury Department. He said that be was responsible for the correctness of every consul’s accounts, and saw no impropriety in holding direct correspondence with the consuls, He could not yield 80 tmportant @ matter, and, if disposed, doubted his right so todo under existing laws. Mr. Fish ex- plained that his object was merely to bring all those having relations with and to the State De- partment under his immediate supervision, Mr. Richardson thought if such a concession was made to the State Department the heads of other Depart- ments whose officials are responsible to the gov- ernment for moneys received and disbursed could claim the same privileges, which, i agreed to, would unnecessarily increase the clerical labor of the Treasury Department, without adding any- thing to the protection of the government funds, The conversation ended without Mr. Fish relin- quishing his claim or Mr, Richardson conceding anything, Where the matter will end is the inter- esting question in oficial and diplomatic circles in Washington. The Washington Banks, It ts said by gentlemen largely interested in the National Metropolitan Bank, that after the Ex. aminer shall have made his report, there wil! be a re- organization of the institution, much of the present trouble having originated in a departure trom its legitimate business and large amounts of money loaned on individual security, to say nothing of the manuer jo which the bank has apglied its raservea, | sent tor. There scems to be no doubt that the assets amply sufficient to meet all e nominally, The report of the Receiver the Washington City Savings Bank shows that the depositors will ultimately be paid, the re- sources presenting a surplus over the obligati counting the various securities at par. At events it is safe to say the depositors will in the end receive at least nine-tenths of their money. The Chi-Phi Order.

ANOTHER BANE “IRREGULARITY.” The Cashier of the Merchants’ National Bank of Lowell, Mass., Resigns Under Peculiar Circumstances—About $40,000 of the Bank Funds Unaccounted For, LOWELL, Mass., Oct. 7, 1873. Considerable excitement and the subject of ine quiry in financial circles yesterday afternoon was* the report of a large defalcation of the casher of the Merchants’ National Bank, John N, Pierce, ci who is also treasurer of the Central Savings Bank, The officers of the bank state that the knowledge of irregularities in ihe account of the cashier first became known to them early last week, One of the directors stated that his deficit must have commenced while tt was a State bank, and that he had success{ully avoided the detection of both directors and bank ex- aminers up to the present time. No error was detected in making up the accounts for the October dividend. Pierce acknowledges the impeachment. The failure to fulti! a telegram promise to the Second National Bank of Boston to honor checks Jed to an examination and exposure. It is stated by one of the directors of the Merchants’ Bank that Plerce had money of the bank amounting to above $175,000 atone time, of which he has returned about $80,000. The capital of the bank 18 $400,000, The surplug, of about five per cent, is absorbed. Pierce has not had the key for days. Mr, Pierce personally handed in his resignation this forenoon, and has made a trinsfer of his props erty to reimburse in part the deficit, the amount of which is not given. Colonel! Needham has beer it 18 probable the irregularities have for several years and were of the officers,, and the matter attempted to be arranged. The bond of the cashier has not been discovered, He, however, expresses a willingness to pay if pos- sible, bur the general impression 18 that he hag lived beyond means. The bank continues ite usual business. ‘The Central Savings Bank has suffered no dam- age. Dr. J.C, Ayer, who is largely interested im the bank, says that full particulars will soon be given. Pierce has a family of several children, FIRE IN WEST NINETEENTH STREET, At half-past one o'clock yesterday morning a fre broke out in the four story brick building, No. 517 West Nineteenth street, that caused a damage of about $25,000.
