H h 0N, Au. ——'i‘he Times pu 1 1s es :1 lLet 0113‘ from istn in which the writer deck ares that President Balmaceda, of Chil i being unable to borrow money, the silv r bullion in the treasury of tago de hill, which was stored there as security for the fiduciary circulation and that he tried to transport this silver abroad as payment for ships and arms or- dered in Europe. The writer says that Balmaceda was not able to hire a private vessel to undertake the transportation of the silver, and he finally persuaded the commander of the Espiegle, a B1itish man-of—war, to convey a million dollars to Montevideo, where the sum was landed on Aug. 16th. The Times says it is confident that that was done without the consent of the Brit- ish Admiralty; that it seems as though a British man-of-war had been made the ac- complice of a downright 1'.obbery The transaction, the Times says, demands a full and prompt investigation.

IV hen the ho1ses came up the stretch Fitzpatrick used whip and spur mercilessly and Ma1ion C. went to the front like a flash of lightning, com- ing under the wire one length ahead of Kingston.

Bis Propensity for stealing Developed as He Grew Up—ln 1875 He Got Four Yearslvfor Bobbing 11 Jewelry Store, In 1880 Fifteen More. HANOVER, N. 11., Aug. 24.—A promi- nent citizen of Thetford, Vt., who lives not far from where Abbott made his home in that town, in“ speaking of Almy and Abbott, said that Abbott came to Thet- ford with Israel Abbott, an uncle, when about fifteen years old. Although a bright young fellow he showed a strong propen- sity for stealing, at one time pilfering a stove and setting up a blacksmith shop on the bank of the Connecticut river. As he became older he was a great favorite with the girls and was always gentlemanly toward them. Robbed a Jewrlry Store. For breaking into a jewelry store in 1876 young Abbott was senienced to four years in state prison, but shortened his time considerably by good behavior. After his release Abbott returned to Thetford, and as far as known led an exemplary life for a year or two. In the year 1880, how- ever, several of the neighboring towns, were excited over numerous burglaries. Suspicion soon fell upon Abbott and he was finally shot in the hip while attempt- ing to escape from one of the stores in which he had been operating in Oxford. Pursned, Captured and Convicted. The citizens formed a searching party and after half a day’s hunt Abbott was found in a but among the ledges which overlooked the station. Abbott made a esperate resistance, but was finally cap tured. He was tried, convicted and son- tenced to fifteen years’ imprisonment. After serving seven years of his term and gaining the confidence of the prison ofil— cials, Abbott made his escape. Although his absence was noticed within fifteen minutes he succeeded in eluding the searchers and has never been caught. The prisoner is a very sick man. His ex- periences greatly weakened him and the physicians regard him as critically ill. His temperature was 108 (legs. and his pulse was far above normal. One of the doctors made the remark that he should not be at all surprised if Grafton county was saved the expense of trying the mur- derer. It is extremely improbable that he will be removed for two or three days yet, unless his condition improves greatly. His Father Committed Suicide. SALEM, Mass, Aug. 24.—George H.
