WAsniSGTOK, August 17.—The Treasury
Departmebt is prepared to carry out tlu*
provisions of tho recent action of Congress
authorizing tho Secretary of tho Treasury to
deliver to tho rightful owners certain srti-
clos of jewelry, etc., captured by tho United
States army during the civil
war, and depoaited in the Treas
ury' Department The examination
of articles on deposit has been cor eluded.
They aro contained in two boxes, and con
sist of silverware, jewelry, portraits,
watches, etc. One of the boxes contained
nearly live hundred watches, silver,
and brass, and a number of jack knives,
old books, letters, etc.
These were mainly taken from the prison
ers who died in the hospitals around Wash
ington, Point Lookout and Elmira, and
were depo ited in the Treasury by General
K-tcham. Some of them, however,
belonged to the Union soldiers
who died during the war near
tho places designated. The other box con
tained a lot of articles captured by General
Sherman's troops in Camden. S. C., in the
early part of 18C5. They consist of family
pUte, jewelry, etc., which had been
deposited in a bank at Cam
den by Mr. Mcltao and oth*
wealthy residents of that section. When
the Union army approached tho town an
effort was mode to transfer the articles to a
placo of safety, but it did not succeed, ns
the troops came upon the scene while the
transfer was being made. Many of the
principal articles belonging to Mc.llac
were restored to him by special act of Con
gress in 1882. An inventory lias been
made, and it is thought the articles can
be e&silv identified the owner*.
They will be restored upon applica
tion, accompanied by satisfactory evi
dence of ownership. The two boxes
referred to contain ail the property of the
character described now in the United
States treasury, except possibly presenta
tion of swords belonging to General Twiggs,
and captured by General Butler in New
Orleans. It is an unsettled ques
tion as yet whether these
swords can be restored under the provis
ions of the act referred to above. All other
urticles mentioned which have not been
restored by April next were to bo adver
tised and such as shall still remain in the
treasury for one year from that tta% Wl
be sold st publio suction.
COLD-BLOODED iMURD£R-
DROWNED IN A WELL.
A Little Girl and Her Itahy Sister Meet
With a Terrible Fate.
X*w Orient!* St*te*.
At l>:30 o’clock lant evening Leila Wey
mouth, n white girl, nine yea h of age, left
her mother’s house, at the corner of Berlin
and Magazine streets, to take her h« ven
months old sister, Alice, for » walk. After
kUsiog their mother good-bye* Leila strayed
toward the Upper Magazine market, play
ing aud toying with tho little one in her
rms. Not thinking of danger, tho littlo
girl proceeded on her way iu tho market,
when suddenly she went down, down until
sh** struck water. Her cries could not bo
heard, aud, after struggling some time, she,
with the little one in her arms, slowly sank,
and the two were drowned.
This well was only a foot and n half in
diameter, and was used to g*t water from
when the market was cleaned. It was left
open yesterday, and as it was very narrow
the cries of the drowned children could
barely reach the surface.

Cherokee Shoot* Down a Father and

Chicago, August 18.—A special from Fort
Smith reports that iu the Cherokeo Nation
SundAy evening. Lock Langley and Thomas
Monroe renewed an old quarrel, while Mon
roe was on his way to church with his
family. Langley began by enning Monroe,
who told him that if he hud his gun with
him ho could not treat him in that manner.
Langley replied: “Go and get your gun.
Monroo then told his oldest son, Allen,
to go and get it. The boy started, but had
only got a short distauco when Langley
shot him in the back with a load of buck
shot, and then turned and shot aiimilar
loud into the body of old man Monroe.
Both father and son died immediately.
The tragedy wan witnessed only by tl
wife and small children of tho murder*
man. All of them wore members of the
Cherokee Nation, and thiAcomcs under tho
jurisdiction of the Cherokeo courts, hence
the punishment Langley deserves may
never bo meted out to him.

Tuesday la.it has for a day or twq been
visiting points of interest along the St.
Lawrence river, and returned to that city
yesterday morning. The Prt sh representa
tive yesterday brought him tho first intima
tion of the publication of tho charges
against him, and when they had been ex
plained Mayor Smith made this statement:
“Pawnbrokers’ licensi s are paid for in
person by tho applicants to the mayor’s
secretary, either in cash or by check, and
are placed on special deposit in bank. Tho
foil returns ar«* not as yot rectl*ed. When
thoy are tho list is laid beforo tho mayor
aud passed upon, when tho lict-nses are
ordered to be issaed and tho amounts then
legally duo aro paid into tho city treasury.
This has been tho practice in tho past,
and has resulted, it seems, in holding an
excellent check over tho pawnbrokers. I
was I'llit-inUy lulvLrd bi> my private s-ori-
tary last week that payments were yot to be
made, and instructed my secretary to 6end
out a further Doticc. I am not aware that
any tli finite time is li\»-.l for tin- pu\ im-nt.
At any rnto I shall bo in Philadelphia to
morrow (Tuesdiy), when everything will bo
made clear. I bavo no doubt that my ab-
••I nee fr<*in tin* city lias ln-.-u taken ad van t
ag«* of by my opponents to formulate
groundless charges against me.
COABOEh OP ALTERATI N FALSE.
“Tho amount of pawnbrokeia' licenses,”
continued tho mayor, “aggregate about $7,-
000 a year. It is true tin 11 have not yot
turned into tho city treasury tho nionoy re
ceived last January and since, nor do I con
sider it necessary that I should do so. It
has not been tlio custom of tho office, and 1
understand that tho amount o' la^t year
was not handed in until October or Novem
ber."
"It is charged that yon have altered
checks which have been handed in as pay
ment for licenses.”
“That is utterly fala *. 1 lmd nothing to
do with them beyond indorsing them upon
back, ‘William B. Smith, treasurer.'
mo checks came in from tho Jewish and
,*r pawnbrokers made *4ut in different
wavs and were immediately taken charge of
by Major Linton and deposited to th<« credit
of William B. Smith, treasurer. This entry
clearly showed that it was not nnd could
not be n personal account of any kind, and
such a charge iH utterly base lews. I have
never been aware that the fact of tbo list
not having been sent In for my sanction
and passed upon by mo mado the
business of tho pawnbrokers illegal. The
pawnbroker mado his application to my
secretary, which was put in a list, and this
list, whoa completed, was brought to me.
If, when I received tlio list, I had any rea
son for not continuing tho liccnso I could
ily do so. When L gat hnck to Philadel-
ia I will mako a i^oro explicit state)
if dosirod."

ACTION AGAINST HENRY IRVING.
An Av*l*uche on tho Mottorhorn Forian
U- r* tho Live* of Many TourUU.
Berlin, August 19.—A large party of
tourists have narrowly escap'd death on the
Matterhorn. While on that mountain an
avalanche occurred and they wore com
plctely imprisoned by a huge bank of snow.
Forty guides went to their assistance with
ropes and ladders, and after superhuman
ff >rts rescued them. Many of the tourists
were buffering from frost-bitea. The ice
coed travelers received an ovation on their
arrival at Szermatt, where the news of their
peril had been received.
junction asked for by Laura (!. Holloway,
of Brooklyn, to have the publishing firm
of Bradley A Co., of tins city. r*-u cned
from publishing 500 copies of "Tim Ladies
of the White House; or, In tho Home of the
Preside ntp," in any other form than origi
nally pr» pared by tho complainant, who is
the author of tho work.
An affidavit by Arthur Bradley, one of
tin* defi mlants, was read, disclaiming any
intent to publish any now matter or
accounts ot Mrs. and Miss Cleveland as
part of Mrs. Holloway’s book, aud stating
that they had caused to bo written a book
of some thirty odd pages, entitled "The
Brido of tbo White House,” by Francis
Howard Williams, a newspaper correspond
ent aud po« t of Philadelphia, which they
had copyrighted, and wore now offering for
s de, aud in cases where desired this now
publication of Mr. Williams was contained
under the same cover with Mrs. Holloway’s
book, with the titles of both books and the
mum h of both authors stamped on tlio cov
ers. It was also stated that tho firm had
t.tki n special pains to represent that tho
new* book was the work of a separate
author, and that all their circulars to their
agents called special attention to the dis
tinct character of the books.
In refusing th© application Judge Butler
s.iul that tho complainant had not estab
lished such a clear and satisfactory cane as
hi:: judgment entitled h«r to the injunc
tion asked for, nnd therefore ho refused tho
motion. As to what disposition might bo
mado of tho case when it came up ft»r fund
hearing upon the testimony could not now
bo decided He added that it might not be
amiss to generally express to counsel the
impression made upon his mind by what
bad tuns tar appeared in ibe ctuse. Tuo
simple question seemed to bo wbother a
publisher, who has entered into n eon-
tract with au author to publish her work,
nr to publish "»imi copies of it, as in this
was restricted to publishing tho
matter entirely by itself, or within
parnto covers, or whether they Iuul
io rght to publish with it auothor work of
a similar or different character, by anothor
author, contained within the same covers,
provided tho two works were clearly dis
tinguished as being separate, and by differ
ent authors. llo w as inclined to the opin
ion that tho publishers could so issue tho
work if they desired to do so- their con
tract was to publish the writiug.s of the au
thor—nnd it they fulfilled ii by puiiiug into
print all that was written by her, what in
the contract was to prevent them from
binding it with an encyclopedia, even if
they thought it wise and prudent?
Ho sniil in conclusion, that this was the
first time that tho question appeared to
have arisen, and what had been stated to
the lawyers was only an impression, w hich
might bo altered after a final hearing of the
enuso.
