New Yok, July 17.—-Much curiosity has been shown in banking circlos as to tho cause of the treasury officials voluntarily paying out gold in lisu of clearing house balances and for government chocks over the counter whon some form of curroncy would have been more desirablo to the payecs, and when it was supposod that the governmont was desirous of building up the gold reserye again to the $100,000,000 Limit. Mr, Jordan declined to- give any reason for the treasury paying out gold as stated, but suggested wat it bo inferred to be due to a desiro to vide for some nead of noy at a dis- late, Ho said it was not because tho nment did not wish to 158u0 any more gold certiticates, which it must do as S00n us the gold reserve is £100,000,000 and the theory of the suggestion s that the gold is moro readily hoarded in that form, the govern- MCNL Storing 1t free of cost.

Kansas Crey, July 17.—The statement miade in these dispniches Saturday that the Pirst National bank had failed was crrone- ous. The only national bank to close its doors was the National Bank of Kansas City. The First National is considered one of \ho strongest banks iu the city, and there Was 0o run on it whatever.

PLAYING EV How tho Treasury Proposes to Even Up Mattors with the Banks, Wasnisaros, July 17.—Heavy Clearing House payments in Now York caused the wold reserve to fall lower than it has been for soveral days past and &46,886 less than it was on Saturday. The roserve today amounts to #U8,050,480; currency balance, 220,11 this ovening gives publicity to the following statement in regard to the sld payments from the United States sub- treasury in New York: “Considerablo offoct is being mado by fi- gents hero todiscover the motive shind theso payments, but the department is as close-mouthed as a ciam. The explana- tion got through private sources is that the department is trying to take advantage of yof small and convenient cur- y for Internal business to pinch the anks us the banks hove pinched tho gov- ernment by storing gold “The banks are greatly in need of small bills for current business ‘transactions and foruse in the agricultural districts. The theory is advanced that if they cannot get what they need of this sort of currency by any other means they will have to make terms with tho treasury which would in- volvo their exchanging gold or gold cortifi- cates in large quantitics for notes and cer- tificates of small denomination. “It is said that the department can afford to pay out gold on the drafts presented by he banks, if, by so doing it can cut off the source through which the banks would get their small notes and put them to suficient inconvenieuce to bring them to torms. The banks understand that if they want small notes and certificates they can securo them by taking large quantities and paying for them in gold, and it is the theory of the de- partment that by pinching them protty close they can afford to do this. 1t is abl that the issuo of gold cortific not be resumed if the gold reserve F100,000,000, it is not cle at the law i in requiring a renewal of this it has been stopped by reason of the reserve falling below $100,000,000," receipt of lower prices from Loudon the market opened fractionally lower, but soon rallied slightly.

It was o trivial matter, to be sure, but neverthe- less they were on the outs. Both “seemed spitefully revengeful, and when one day the office boy played off sick and went to the base ball game the typewriter made known to the em- ployer tho youth's sporting pro- clivitles. This, as might be ex- pected, caused trouble, and the wrath of the office hoy against the young lady with nimble fingers increased more and more. Days passed and the lad planned and dreamed of schemes to “‘get back” at his fair tormentor, who stood so well n the graces of the employer. Now on ovory typewritor there is a small gong which rings when the end of the line is reached. The office boy knew this, and as ho watched the prettily tapered fin- gers throw back the carriage at each tap of the bell he smiled with flendish glee. It was late in the aftornoon. The young lady was industriously tapping the keys to finish the firm’s corte- spondence. She had reached the last letter, and remarked to the office boy that her best young man was going to take her tothe theater that evening. Henes her hurry. This only made the office boy smile all the more, for he knew that his time had come. His eyes scemed to say “‘Revengo is sweet.” The youny lady slipped the piece of paper into the machine and began at & light- ning speed to write from her notes, The youth watched the carriage sliding to and fro. He took from his pocket a rusty nail and, as the type- writer wrote on unconsciously, he tapped the bell lighty with the nail. The young lady, never thinking, pushed the paper up another line and went o1 Again the boy tapped the bell and again the young iy turned the machine. Th was kept up until the maiden had written all there was to write. A small figure had sneaked ea: of the door. The blonde withdrew the sheet from the machine. She looked at it and looked again and saw before her a letter written something after the fashion of the latter-day stepladder Not a single line was properly written. The girl grew ti.oughtful. She seemed to remember that the bell had rung a trifle oftener than usual, S looked about the room and then she r mombered that the oftice boy had on upon a time gone to a base ball gamo and had remarked subscquently that he would get even.

Ho scemed to bo trying to score whonever possiblo from the return of the servico, 1f Cullingham ran up he would do his best to pass him on one side or the other or lob over his head, and if he waited on the baso lino to get the ball on the bounce it would be ro- turncd sharp as possible and generally on the left hana side line. Cullingham also plaged a placing gamo to a large extent, but Denise was all over the court at once and reached ything that camo over with litle foreo nd it. With the score equal In both sets and games, Domiso started in with some very wild pl llowad his oppanent to got a lead which it was impossible afterwards to cateh up to. Cullingham, oa the other hand, played a strong game, hit- ting the balls with more decis than he had been doine. Save for an occasional in which Deniso showed what he could do in getting diffeult balls on the volley or half-volley, Cullingham had mat- tors in his own hands throughout the en- tire set. At this point it was suggested that thore would not betime for_another set befors darkuess intervened, but it was agreed at any rate to make a start. Four games wore played and tho scorc was two games all, when Deniso fnally declared that he could not_possibly see any longor. Tt was in fact too davk for even the spectators 10 follow the ball and 1t was ouly fair to both players to postpone the remainder of the match until tonight. By permission of the Young Men's Chris- tlan association the chairs which were in use last night will also be on the ground to- night, and the committee earnestly hope that the spectators who showed their appre- clation of the boginning of the mateh last night will turn out again to seo what prom- ises to be an intensely exciting finish this evening. The score” now stands at two sets to one in favor of Cullingham (04, 4-6, 6-1); and it will be necessary, thercfore, for' Cullingham to win one more, or Denise two, to win. In addition_to this, Fosbenner and Lawrence will play Bowman and Has- kell in the doubles.

Transporting Sew o and Furnl g Water If Philadelphia shall abandon the Schuylkill as the source of its water sup- ply, says the Press of that city, its only alternative resource is totake possession and bring into the city the water of some other river. Rivers are absolutel essary to furnish water to great citios in quantities sufficient for the nceds of modern civilization. But cities every- where are built on the theory that the only possible main sewer is the rivor which flows boside them. When Ph delphia asked the legislature to forbid placing sewage or offensive matters of any kind in rivers which are the source of water supply for cities, the repre- sentativ rom every town in the which drained its sewage into some river or stream united in opposing it and it was easily defeated. 1t was felt even hero that the passago of the bill would cause some embarrassment to Philadel- phia, as the city of Chester, fourteen miles below, still draws its water from the Delaware after the entire sewage of Philadelphia has been emptied into it. This horribly incompatible use of rivers in the double capacity of sewer and drinking reservoir is scen overy- where in the United States, and its di- vorce has only begun in Europe. The great city of London has grappled with the difliculty in splendid fashion. Its sewage, amounting to 200,000,000 gal- lons a day, is carricd by great sewors twelve miles below the city into two large storage reservoirs on opposite sides of the Thames. There it is treated by chemicals which precipitate the soli matter, while the liquid remaining is discharged clear and odorless into the Thames when the tide is running ocean ward, The expense of this method of render- ing its sewage harmless and saving the great wealth of fertility it contains for the soil does not break London, and would not break smaller cities, since with a smaller volume of sewage the difficulties of disposing of it are less. Paris is not so wuh situated as London for disposing of its sewage in this man- ner. 1t is still grappling with the sub- ject, making and considering reports thereon, while the Seine below Paris, after veceiving the contents of all its swers, is foulor even than the Chicago river. Tho water is in a state of con- stant agitation from the fermentation of thesewage. It is covered with a groasy- looking scum and discharges mephitic as fatal to animal life in great abund- The dwellors along the lower Seme complain bitterly of its contamina- toin, though it is not reported that the use this water at any place below Paris for drvinking purposes. In this the French show a mwore delicato taste and more regard for hygienic principals than the inhabitants of Chester, Pa., and we might add the great majority of Ameri- can cities, There is no doubt that the government of Paris will eventually find a more ra- tional way of disposing of its sewage than by converting the lower Seine into a foul open sewer. The evils which have brought about the costly but sensi- ble sewage plant of London, which are disturbing Paris and havassing our fel- low-citizens of Chicago, exist toa greater or less extent in every city which pollutes the fair rivers at'its doors with foul sewag If the inconvenicnce of this method of disposing of sewago is not felt by the city offending, the towns below ave usually conscious of the bar- barism of the custom. Wao criticise justly the unintelligent violations of the common law of health by oriental peo- Jle, whose unsanitary modes of life hreed cholera and other pestilence, but western civilization has little room for boasting 50 long as it continues the dis- gusting’ and unwholesomo custom using its rivers at once as water sup- plies and sowe LOCAL BREVITLES, The weed crusade is now on, and the Board of ealth is 1ssumng notices to the owners of vacant lots where the weeds aro towering to cause the samo to be razed to the ground with as little delay as possible.

During tho past two or three da ble stench has beo basoment of the ( teenth and ing Officer a horrl- noticod coming from the nningham block on Thir Jackson stroots, lLast even Burr concluded that somothing was wrong down there and with tho assistance of Sorgeant Whalen e burst in tho deor on the Jackson street side, A rush of toul air nearly knocked them down and the crowd which was standing about them made a break for the stroot. The awful odor was so sickening that the mon had to soek frosh air and then the place, hoiding their noses, hey went through the first room and wore groping their way about in the ad- Joining room, which was dark as night. One of them struck somothing with his foot, and striking a mateh beheld & horrible sight. In front of him lay the remains of a man. “The body and features were swollen and dis- torted beyond recognition and muggots were rapidly consuming the putrid flosh. The officers summoned Coroner Maul. The body was so decomposed that it had to be taken up on a blanket, and, after searching tho pockets for papers, the body was hastily putina pino box. A jury was empaneled and tho corpse was hastily buricd, as it could not bo handled. This basement has been usod by Carl Stoinmark, a Polander, for & bar- ber shop, for the past two yoars. Ho was about 42 years of ago and lived a solitary life. He'is alleged to have drank a good deal and last Thursday his goods were set out on tho sidewalk by John Dingman, the constable, who afterwara arrested for obstructing the sidewalk, Dingman locked the place from the outside with a padlock, and Sunday a peculiar and offensive odor was noticed coming from the placy Two days before the eviction Stefumarle was missed from his usual haunts, but no one took tho trouble to inquire aftor him. He has not yot turned up, and it is belioved that tho dead man is the Poland He used the front room as a arbor shop, but the room in whi b the boay was found has never been used for anything. It is & dark, grucsome hole and a man would hardly be noticad on the floor. 1t is known that Steinmark was in strin- gent circumstances, aud those who know him think he became despondent and committed suicito in the back room. Then his goods wero evicted and his body was overlooked by the con- stable. The body was so decomposed that it could not bo ascertained if there wero any marks of violeuce on it. It might have been that the poor fellow died from natural causes alone and unattended, but the suicido theory seems the most probable, ‘The fact of the man being in the place with the door locked from the outside with a padlock is the subject of much speculation and is only accounted for by the belief that the man was lying in there dead when his goous were removed. “There was nothing in the pockets by which to identify the corpse and only some keys, a knifoand a nickle were found. Thero ap- pears to bo somo mystery about the affair which the coroner hopes to uuravel at the inquest today. If tho corpse is not that of Steinmark no ono can surmiso who it is, Those who know the missing Stoinmark think that the dead man is about his sizo.
