Jo- siah Porter died at 10:40 o’clock Friday night at his home, No. 56 West One undred and Twenty-fourth street, without regaining consciousness. ; Around his bedside at the time of his death stood his wife, his two daugh- ters, his son-in-law and Dr. Henry T. Pierce, the family physician. For the twenty-four hours previous to his death Gen. Porter lay in a comatose condi- tion. Immediately after the end tele- grams telling of Gen. Porter’s death were sent to Gov. Flower and his staff. Gen, Porter’s death was the outcome of an apoplectic seizure with which he was stricken at the Seventh Regiment banquet at Jueger’s last Wednesday. AN ANCIENT CITY. Yhe Discovery Made by a Party of Prospectors. St. Louis, Dec. 17.—A special to the Globe-Democrat from Chihuahua, Mexico, says that the party of pros- pectors who left there three months ago to investigate the report made by Mose B. Thacher, the well-known Mor- mon leader, of the discovery of an an- cient city in the mountains west of Hemata, about 150 miles northwest of there, have just returned. They had many exciting experiences, and two members of the party died from ex- posure in the high altitude, but they were successful in finding the hidden city. They represent it to be just as described by Mr. Thacher, excepting that it contains great riches in the way of gold and silver, samples of which the party brought back with | them, aggregating several thousand dollars in value. They are convinced that there are rich mines in the im- mediate vicinity of the city which were extensively worked centuries ago and that the city was built from the‘ riches thus obtained. act at. A PEACE PARTY One is Graaually Growing Up in the Mikado’s Kingdom. San Francisco, Dec. 17.—Advices from Tokio to November 29, by steamer Gallic, are as follows: A peace party is gradually growing up in Japan, the motive of its formation being derived partly from the general sense of the sufferings and losses entailed by the war, and partly from a perception of the immense issues involved in the disintegration of the Chinese Empire. The Japanese army in Manchuria is pushing steadily towards Moukden. It has just attacked and taken Mo-Tien- Ling, a town 100 miles beyond the Yalu River. There is little probability that any serious resistance will be encoun- tered until Moukden itself is reached. Meanwhile Anarchy prevails in all dis- tricts of Manchuria not administered by the Japanese. Deserters or fugitives from the Chinese armies raid the country, and the people leave their homes untenanted. HANGING FROM A WINDOW. Stream to the Sidewalk.

Chicago, Dec. 18.—At a meeting of Gelegates from clubs and other organ- {zations interested, held in this city, a resolution was adopted that the dele- gates pledge themselves to do all in Yheir power to induce the State to take the Lincoln monument out of the hands of the monument association, which now has control of it, and turn it over to the control of the State authorities. ‘fhe resolution also contemplates mak- ing admission to the monument free, and getting an appropriation from the next Legislature of from $30,000 to $100,000 to repair the monument. The monument, beneath which rest the re- imains of Lincoln, has been mutilated by vandals and injured by the weath- er. It was decided to call a mass meet- ing some time before January 1 in this city to demand that the appro- priation be made at once. Many As- sembly candidates were elected on this pledge, and the feeling in the State is intense. Although the Garfield monu- ment cost $20,000 less, it is much bet- , ter kept than that of Lincoln. THE MURDERS AT LAKEWOOD. , Edward Archer, a Former Employee of the Shermans, Suspected of the Crime. Jamestown, N. Y., Dec. 18.—Edward Archer is suspected of the crime of murdering the Sherman women near | Lakewood. That is the only tangible theory that the police have to work on. Archer was employed last sum- mer by the Shermans, and it is said was not very well liked by his neigh- bors. The theory is that he knew of the absence of the family at the fun- eral and went to the house to steal the money which he, being familiar with the habits of the old man, knew was concealed somewhere about the premises. The women had remained behind and recognized him, and to save himself from prison he killed them, COLLEGE BOYS POISONED. Arsenic Found in the Food Served at a Bowdoin Eating Club.

At dinner on | Saturday a peculiar taste was noticed | in the soup and ice-cream, and when after dinner several of the party were taken sick, an investigation was made, | Arsenic was found in both the ice- | cream and soup. Mr. Christie, Mr. Doherty and Miss Maud Kaler are re- | ported as quite sick, but it is thought | that they will recover. The facts in| the case indicate that there was a de- | liberate attempt at poisoning, but there is no clue to the guilty party. Bread and Coal Cheap. Port Huron, Mich., Dec. 18.—Eight of the twelve large bakeries are sell- | ing bread at the rate of two loaves for | five cents.

St. John’s, N. F.; Dec. 19. -The work of eliciting information concerning the condition of the Commercial Bank is proceeding satisfactorily, although - some very unpleasant disclosures are being made. The largest debtor to the bank is Mr. Dudor, one of the di- rectors, who owes $650,000, half se- cured by mortgages. His assets are not expected to reach the mortgage estimate. The total amount of over- drawn accounts is $1,941,000. A good proportion of this will realize unfa- vorably, a fact which causes surprise that the accounts were permitted to be overdrawn. The amounts due by the bank on current accounts have not yet been brought to a total. The com- mittee appointed to select trustees to manage the bank and the insolvent estates will bring two chartered ac- countants from London to investigate the books. The members of the com- mittee expressed themselves by cen- suring the directors. The prosecution have threatened the directors with a claim for $700,000 worth of fish in the hands of the bank’s debtors. CASHIER A DEFAULTER. Another “Trusted Employee” Gets Away With $27,000. Syracuse, N, Y.. Dee. 19.—A special from Rome says that John B. Beilby, the trusted cashier of the Central Na- tional Bank, is a defaulter in the sum of $27,000. The shortness in the ac- counts was first suspected about two weeks ago by National Bank Examiner J. Van Vranken, of Schenectady. On Monday he made the above discovery. Beilby admits that he had taken about $27,000, and says that he speculated in stocks, was caught in a downward market and took the bank funds to recover himself. Most of these funds were also lost. Samuel Gillett, the teller of the bank, who is also the Mayor of Rome, disappeared Monday evening, and his whereabouts are not now known by his wife. Mr. Betlby, however, says no one is at fault be- sides himself, and that Mr. Gillett had nothing to do with the defalcation. ROBERT L. STEVENSON’S DEATH. It Was Caused on Dec. 3 by Paralysis of the Brain. London, Dec. 19.—A dispatch from Auckland to the Star contains a few additional details of the death of Rob- ert Louis Stevenson brought by the Samoan mails. On the evening of De- cember 3 Mr. Stevenson remarked to his wife that he felt a strange pain in his head. Almost immediately after- wards he fell back senseless and never regained consciousness. He died twe hours later. The cause-of his death was paralysis of the brain, accompan- fed by collapse of the lungs. He was buried on December 4. An obelisk will be erected over his grave, which from its great height on Pala Hill will be a conspicuous landmark from the sea. Mr. Stevenson had recently suf- fered from exhaustion of the brain, and had been haunted by the fear that his popularity was on the wane. $180,000 in Ris Pockets. London, Dec. 19.—The body of Capt. Overgaard, of the ship Don Juan, which was wrecked off Denmark on December 6, was washed ashore on Saturday last near the spot where the vessel was wrecked. The body, which evidently had been buried deep in the sand and had been uncovered by the recent storm, was well preserved. Among the papers found in the cloth- ing were $180,000 in bank notes and American securities, which thé author- ities are holding for the proper claim- ants. The Don Juan was on a voyage from New York to Gothenburg when she was wrecked. A Boy a Hostage. New York, Dec. 19—Mrs. Manice Anderson, a pretty and respectable looking woman of twenty-four years, of Canarsie, L. I., was complainant at the Yorkville Police Court yesterday against Augustus Duve, whom she charged with keeping her seven-year- old son, Alfred, as hostage and brutal- ly beating him. According to Mrs. An- derson, Duve and his wife refused to give up the boy unless $50 was paid, which they said was due for board in- curred by her husband, Charles An- derson. Story of the Murder. Buffalo, N. Y., Dec. 19. — In the Zawacscki murder trial young Wlad- islaus Bariewitz, the twelve-year-old son of the murdered man, told with faint voice and choking sobs that his father had been thrown to the floor and his mother had held his feet while Zawacski sat on his stomach.

C., Dec. 19.—The official report of the Attorney-General shows that during the past two years there were three legal hangings and eight lynchings in North Carolina.
