The Stated treasury balance to-day was $153,37,151, of which fSB9,069,651 is in gold. j Secretary Oresham h$a learned offi cially from Mr. Terrell, of the decision reached by the Sultan, refusing to accede t p- esident Cleveland's suggestion that Consul Jewett accompany the Turkish commission to Armenia ,nd make an in dependent report, and that the Sultan has informed Minister-Terrell that the mat termay be considered nided. It will be remembered that the United States, as a neutral power, was warrply urged by the Sultan in the first instance to appoint a member of the commission and that President Cleveland, in declining to ac cept this invitation, onvfeyed the intima tion that he would consent to appoint a representative in $n independent capacity, whose report toiild be made to thia Government instead of to the Turkish Government, and in anticipa tion of the acceptance oft this proposition by! the Sultan, Consul Jewett was named. It appears from the latest de spatches, however, that France has con sented to supply the third member of the commission, the olther two bing Turks As no rumor Or evidence has been presented that American ciiizens have been massacred , it Is said in official circles that the United States would hardly be warranted in demanding that Cont-ul Jewett be givei I the necessary e-cort to enable him to Pursue an inde pendent investigation. It was in the general interest of civili; ation alone'that the matter of American participation in the inquiry was considered. : REV. JOSIAH 1YLER.

C Til U CONVICTS REVOLT. A BLOODY RIOT IN THE OHIO 'PENITENTIARY. One Prisoner is Killed, Another Wounded! and a Guard Badly In jured A. Ijong Series of Ineab- -ordination ('ulmlaatlna- in an Attack Upon a Guard for Reporting Violation of Kales. Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 26 The epi- demtc of assaults upon guards at the Ohio penitentiary which began about six months ago, culminated this morning in a bloody encounter, in which one pris oner! was shot and instantly killed, an other dangerously wounded with a pistol ball in his leg and a guard; seriously in jured by being beaten over the head with a bar of iron. " ! j; The shouting occurred in Reynold's foundry, and only a few moments after the men had marched to the shops for the days" work. !The convfetswho par-" ticipated in the affair were: Jos. O'Day, a Cuyhoga county prisoner, serving a two j ears' sentence for forgery; John Burk, a Lorain county prisoner, serving two years' for robbery, and John Bird, serving one year from Franklin county for shooting to wound. ,l:'.-. The mounting ; room ia the foundry has for sometime been in a state of ter ror, or, in other words, the prisoner havej had full sway and were in the habit of doing as they pleased. ; i The officials decided to put a Btop to this, and on last Saturday Guard S J. Temple.of Colum biana county, was placed on duty in that department, j Several of the bolder prison rs in the; shop began at oi.ee throwing out hints to the guard that if he wanted to retain his residence in Co lumbiana he had better not attempt to enfoijce the rules. t! I Guard . Templej is rated as one of the bravest andmost efficient guirds at the penitentiaryand, consequently, these little bluffs did not Bcare him in the least fromj performing his duty, i He sized up the men he had to deal with, and saw at oce jthat O'Day, the Cleveland prisoner, was ihe leader of the gang.! Monday morning Temple had occasion to report O'Day for violating the rules. O'Day and his pals at once threatened vengeance, and Christmas morn ing when the men were at break fast, I Temple was informed! that a plot had been hatched ! to kill him, and he was advised by friends to arm j himself and be prepared for the attack. Prior to tbi-i time .Temple had neveij carried a weapon it any kind," but decided to act on th- advice, and pur chased a Smith and Wesson revo!ver -of the best make. He hardly expected that the njen would carry out jtheir threat and 4 hen he reported at the foundry for duty jthis morning, he had; almost dis missed the subjet tf from his mind. But the prisoners had hot given the plot up by any means, but, on the other hand, were more determined than ever of rid ding the shop of an official who dared to do hi4 duty. ; j j Temple marched his company in at 7;30 p'clock as usual and! just as he stepped inside the building, 0'Dy, Burk and Bird giabbed him and proceeded to carry out their threat of j doing him "'1 . Riirlr aiu)rht Temnlejbv hft throat:. Bird held his hands and O Day strucK him on top of the head with an iron bar Temple succeeded in getting bis hand on his1 reyolver, but the prisoners prer vented him from taking it from his pocket;. A desperate struggle then ensued between the prisoners und guards each striving to secure possession ! of the weapon. I "Give me a knife, somebody," shouted 0'Daj(,-"and I'll cut his throac Several of the guards in the depart ments: heard the scuffle and ru hed to Temple's rescue, j Guards j Fulton and Butleif were among the first to arrive and they threatened to club the men, and in this way succeeded in dragging them off of Temple, who by this time was covered with I blood, which flowed from the wound on his head. In the meantime Temple had fired two shots from his re volver, having aimed them at Reuben Gardner, a Wood county prisoner, from whom O'Day had askod to get a knife. One shot struck Gardn r in the leg and passing through, came oat on the other fide, (producing a very painful wound Temple fired; the shot without taking his r lver from his pocket, and, when a few minutes later tne guards came to his rescue he took the revolver out, and de liberately aiming it at O'Day, shot him dead.) Temple claimed that when he fired the fatal shot. O'Day; had turned to renew the assault on him. Consternation reigned supreme., Pris oners ran in all directions and tbe guards were at first afraid to take a hand in the affair for fear of being shot Temple Uood in 'the middle of the floor with the smoking revolver in his band and refused to give it up i He was dazed by the severe blow he received on the head.! and it wax only after the ! weapon had been taken from him that be could be induced to go to the hospital Dr. Ireton examined hia injuries and found him to be suffering from a severe bruis" on the top of bis head, but nothing to indicate that his injuries win prove ratal, i O'Dav. who had already ben pro nounced dead, was; carried to the hospital, and Coroner Herbst held a post; mortem examination and found were the bullet had enteied the left side, passing through the fifth rib, and. piercing the lune.ilodzed just under the skin on the right side. j j i O Day was rated as a bad prisoner. having been in several different scrap Ue had sixtv days of his J. good tun' taken! off last May! for assaulting a guard.

New York, Dec! 26. Another dis honest bank clerk fell into the hands bf the police to-day The prisoner is Ed ward K. Carter, 44 years old, of No. 246 Monroe street, Brooklyn, who has been ; employed for the past twenty-nine years as a transfer clerk in the National Bank of Commerce at NdJ of which Wi liamfwn 29 Nassau street, Sherman is pren- dent. His ! stealings according to his wn calculation, aggregate 30,000. He declines to tell bow he spent the money. President Sherman sent a messenger o police headquarters about 1 o'clock this afternoon to! inform Insoector Mc laughlin that there I was a man in the employ of the bank; who, they had as- ertained, had been stealing monev The inspector seni a detective at once to he bank, where Carter was pointed out !sf the dish, m st i lerk; He accompanied hedetective calmly to the police court, where he was brought before Justice Ryan and remanded until to-morrow for examination. ! i He was then taken; to police heaquar ers where Inspector McLaughlio had a Hlfe with him.

Amor ir nis oner outies he was required to re ceive and pay coupons and maturing or called bonds. On comparing a balance th s morning the officers, discovered a discrepancy of eom 28.( 0 which he accounted for by claiming to have paid in terror that amount of i bonds before their maturity. When asked to produce the) bonds he was una- rue to oo, ana admitted his guilt. It is not learned that he ppecuiated or! ln- duiged in any vices. He claims to have used the money in h isl livitig expenses l ne loss. or. course; is not a serious one. for.the bank,1 which has a capital of fo V ",tjuu ai d h surplus and undivided pn.fits of 13,500,000 more; but tbe defal cation is none the less distrts8ingj as Tarter had the confidence of all who i n rrixi lijrrr nH lio..

If it had not been for ; recent defalcations which put all bans: omciais on their guard, it is very probable that Carter's statement to 1 1-1 CUT V M VI 1 call O.IVj 'UUHO oucau J. lime would have been (accepted. ' The defalcation! Can duly be ascer- rined by an inspection of the bocks for long period, but the amount is stated in Carter's confession. : LEMOM KL.IXEU. A Pleasant Lemon Tonic. j 1 ; if.
