C -r f .'i. 5 -4 .iin : -f u. nutne & kuiw to damce. ; . .. it- v ... - -, A Yeractoas Account of Bonanza Mack . ay la Pans - The round of amusements which Mr. Mackay is providing for tbe American Cojouy since his return-from the great teles at Moscow are the all eclipsing topic j theApur, says an alleged cable dispatch in the Carso ,Nev.) Appeal. At the ball given last Saturday, Mr. Mackay hired the King of Sweden to dance with the Asserican ladies, paying him 81,000 an hoar for the work. About midnight be struck for higher wages, . and Mr. Mackay stood the raise with - true American sangfroid. By 4 o'clock the King was completely blown with his social exercises and taken from the room- in a fainting condition. Mr. Mackay offered to pay all his funeral expenses if he died, which generous of f er made him many friends among the Swedes. The Prince of Wales tele graphed for an invitation to the ball, but the American millionaire, remark iag that Wales Consolidated was a good short; declined to issue an invite. When his little bon wot was translated in the morning journals, the city was convuls ed with laughter. Several descendants of the Bonaparte family who attempted toctimb in the -windows of the ball room were thrown into the basin of the fountain by Mr. Mackay. who , stands ' over six feet in his socks, and is called i the - 'strong ' man of Nevada." This graceful act of courtesy to the straight lie pubs is . well appreciated. Although - Mr. Mackay danced until daylight, and went off shirt at 6 o'clock, he whipped two editors of the Royalist faetion be fore breakfast for publishing an incor rect description of some of the dresses worn at the blowout. When the bodies of the editors were borne away in an ambulance to the Hospital des Inva lides, the crowds applauded in the Sunday last Mr. Mackay was taken with a chill, and feeling that his hour, was near, purchased the tomb of Na xleon for a family vault, and - bad it at once taken to his garden. ' On recover ing in the atternoon.be sold it to the Cz tr at an advance or 50 per cent. The only incident which marred the harmo ny of the grand ball was when the eld est daughter of the Comte de Chambord fell into one of the tanks of champagne, which had carelessly been left in the corridor, and was drowned.. ! The tank held 1,000 gallons, and the body was not discovered until the floor managers had drank the tank nearly dry. Fail are of a Vermoat Bask. St. Albans, Vt, Ang. 6. The Ver mont National Bank ot St. Albans, of which Bradley Barlow is 'President, closed its doors ibis morning, causing great consternation among its deposi tion. Barlow is also president and owner of the Southeastern Kail way of Canada; and he has failed and all his property is involved, besides a consid erable amount of money loaned by . bans and individuals to assist him in his railroad management. Barlow says he has assigned all his property to the bank for the benefit of depositors, and tbat his fail are is due to the unsuccess ful result of his attempt to sell the South Eastern Railroad to the .Canadian Pa cific It- R. Co. He expected, up to a few days ago, to accomplish the sale, but failing in this, he was compelled to sus pend. The Bank has discounted about $325,000 for V- e Sooth Eastern Railroad, aad a loan was made on bonds of Cas- : ion, Montreal & Portland Railroad, failing to raise money on the boqds, it was deemed best to close the Bank, The depositors of the Bank are about 0320,000, and Barlow thinks that the depositors will be paid in full. The officials ot the Bank state tbat its affairs . axe in proper shape and the Bank Ex aminer has been notified of its situa tion. - The Southeastern Railroad is the Road -which has been taken in hand by Barlow to rescue it from a state of in efficiency. Requiring a large outlay Barlow tried a large amount of bonds, not attempting to put them upon the market and the Road has been an actual borrower in consequence; the earnings hardly covering current expenses. Its 'line extends from Montreal to New Port, Vt, a distance of a little over 100 miteft and has branches to various points in the province which make up jt, total of 300 miles of road in opera tion. The suspension of the Bank was totally unexpected, and is likely to have i serious effect upon numbers who have been endorsers upon Barlow's paper, but the real state of affairs in this res pect is not jet folly known. It is un derstood that Barlow had invested about one million in the 'Southeastern Railroad. , " . The SL'Albans Trust Company has also suspended. Its President, Law rence Brainard, who was heavy endor ser of Barlow's paper having made an A&signraent for the benefit of thtf Trust CoopSBf- Brainsrd's property which fcas been assigned is valued at 500,000. Aaotfcvr SJtarBoater Arrested. Mdntgoxeey. Aii- August 3 For some time Mr. D. 1 James, one of the heaviest Star route contractors in tne outh, has been under suspicion. Charges were made that the names sign ed to his bonds were of parties unknown to the locality in which : they were al leged to - live, and even some of them who were "identified affected surprise and sought the aid of counsel. The matter was put in the hands of Detec tive Booth, of the postoffice detective force, and he soon obtained evidence . that warranted him in charging James with the wholesale forgery of , names - and certificates to his bids and contracts, the sums running up into very high figures. Booth at once placed the sus pected man under arrest and will prob ably take nim to Atlanta. James has contracts for f 200,000 a year, and as the detective alleges that almost all his bonds are ferged, the amount involved may be imagined. In ferreting out the irregularities the chief inspector found it necessary to take into confidence some one in the locality. He selected Postmaster Bassett, at Ten Broeek.De Kalb County. lie stated to him. the na ture of his t business, and called i upon him for assistance. It subsequently transpired that at the first opportunity Bassett betrayed the confidence of the Inspector, and not only endeavored to prevent the arrest of the criminal, bat placed In jeopardy the life of the Officer. For this offence the postmaster-general removed Bassett, and the postoffice at Ten Broeck was discontinued. - . i Fralt Thieves Kill tka Owaer mi aaV 1 Orchard. ' : ! ; . MOOTCiItiB.

Chicago, August 6. Up to 1 o'clock this afternoon, no telegraph operators on the railroads running out of this city had quit their keys, t At the general offices of the Chicago & Alton railroad a statement was made that none of their employees had left up to that hoar and same was true of other - roads hav ing headquarters in this city. Officials, of all lines have apparently guarded against the emergency and have ar ranged to ran all trains by private time tables in case a number of men going out should make this necessary.

The threat ened strike of railroad operators which it was announced would occur at noon to day did not take place. The Dela ware, Lackawana & Western. Balti more A Ohio and Wabash companies which refused to accede to the demand say that none of their operators have yet struck. No - explanation of the change of plan has been given by the officers of the Brotherhood, and it is generally thought that the failure of the movement having been foreseen by them, the order was not given for the strike. The officers of the Western Union Telegraph company stated to-day that the aspect of affairs regarding the strike was entirely unchanged. They say tbat matters are improving, that their operators are doing well and that business Is kept moving. There is no material delay anywhere, and business is now going on as if there was no strike at all.

The entire party drew np at Wads worth's model farm, late in the evening, and after gazing with admiration upon tbe broad, level, grass-covered acres, the waving fields of corn and the neatly trimmed orchards, were conducted to the vineyard, the freedom of which was extended them. From tbe vineyard they were escorted to the wine ceHarr, and their admiration of our country and our people continued to increase.
