statistical report of the Department of Agricul ture makes an increase of only half of 1 per cent in the condition of corn The average of seven surplus States is 649 instead of 642 in September This is a lower than has ever been reported except in 1881 when the average was nearly seven points lower and the average yield 186 bushels The indications now are for a yield of a small fraction over twenty bushels per acre The test of threshing has not materi ally enlarged the average rate of the wheat yield which appears to be about 118 bushel or four tenth bushels less than last year An increase of acreage which is large in Dakota will make partial compensation and bring the product nearly or quite to 450000000 bushels The yield of oats is slightly below an average about twenty five bushels per acre The product is fully 600000000 bash els The barley yield is nearly twenty per cent less than an average yield or about twenty bushels per acre The yield of jrye is 115 bushels per acre and the product about 24000000 bushels There has been a drop in the condi tion of buckwheat from 89 to nearly 77 The condition of potatoes declines from 673 to 615 partly from the ap pearance of

the third story front window at 106 Madison avenue yester day afternoon and sustained injuries from which she died a few hours later She had come to New York for treat ment for nervousness and hysteria He Want to Have tbe Man Lost So He Came Here With Him (Daily Telegram of Monday He named himself Joseph Bieel with the accent on the I Hie home he said was at Ridgeville where he is the owner of a nice big farm He was down here just as a matter of accommodation And the man he had accommodated swindled him He said to Alex Gormon man on the train swindled ejacul*ted Mr Gormon goodness it the Pan A Telegram reporter was standing by when Mr Bisel made his complaint and the story he related showed him to be a very accommodating and very un sophisticated man He was driving along a road Satur day when he was overtaken by a poor and weary tramp or a tramp he thought him to be until he began to sing a song The song he sung was this: His name was Halter and his home in Richmond His mother and sister were both lying at the point of death and he wanted to see them ere they died He had walked all the way from Wayne and was foot sore as well as very weary and he did not see how he could possibly walk any further folks are said Mr Harter to Mr Bisel if you will pay my fare to Richmond I will give you ten dollars When we get there you can go along and get the A good many men would have jump ed a Mr offer but Mr Bisel He just paid the fare to Richmond and came along with him to see that he got here all right Just before train reached this city Mr Harter excused himself and jumped from the cars and probibly waited across the river for a west bound freight Mr inhumanity had made Mr Bisel mourn remarked Mr Gorman dryly come down here to get $10 for the $115 you spent not I came merely to accommodate the rascal and now I want to get trains leave here for Ridgeville until Sunday I shall have to get back my wife is very sick and know where I The perspiration stood out in beads on Mr face and he appeared an object of misery Mr Gorman explained to him that he had been taken in by a very ordi nary swindle and could thank his stars that he got off as light as he did It was a wonder he had not signed some kind of a paper that would turn out a promisory note After some figuring Mr Gorman mapped out a route for the accommo dating Mr Bissel to get home by He went to Bradford Junction and then took a train back arriving home about half past one Sunday morning His trip had cost him about seven dol lars in cash but it had taught him a lesson He did get the $10 either DIMPLES

satisfied with Baltimore and Company to The announce Chatfield Woods Zimmerman and others THE BUSINESS MEN THE STATE Every effort was made to secure stockholders letters of solicitation be ing sent in all directions It is evident that there was very great irregularity in the election of officers some of those persons known as officials of the bank never having been properly elected Mr Harper conducted things in a high handed manner Mr Baldwin speaks flatteringly of the immense crowds which gathered in the bank upon its opening day On that day almost $1500000 was deposited and the business increased with each day It was only a few months until Mr Bald win received a stroke of paralysis He was forced to retire from active work Mr Harper then took hold and from that day on until the failure of the bank really occupied the dual position of financial manager and cashier It was about this time that Miss Holmes was introduced into the bank as private clerk and a sort of ad viser to Mr Harper It was her duty to keep charge of his personal check book and also to fill out such checks as Harper directed She gave all large checks upon the banks for Mr Harper to sign Upon Mr return he found his labors very much lessened Mr Harper had taken charge of the cash and with Miss Holmes aid was making up the daily statements which he continued to do until the failure of the bank All orders for shipment of cash had to be submitted to Mr Harper who generally answered them himself In fact everything in the nature of cor respondence except the very plainest matters were attended to by Mr Har per He appears to have been an inde fatigable worker Every morning at 7 he was found at hisdesk where he remained until 6 in the evening his meals being generally brought to him and served in his pri vate room Everyday a statement was laid be fore him of the indebtedness of any amount exceeding one thousand dol lars Even up to the last day HE REMOVED ROM LETTERS Large numbers of New York drafts selling them and then reporting in re gard to them afterward It is evident that much of the currency of the bank was kept by him in the vaults of the Safe Deposit Company No person connected with the bank really knew anything of its condition save of course whatMr Harperdesircd them to know He was frequently spoken to in re gard to this matter but all efforts were only met by rebuffs and the person thus speaking to him was made to feel that he was an interloper There was one exception There was Miss Holmes who alone could gain his ear She took his orders wrote his personal letters regarding the affairs of the bank and in fact did almost every thing of a private nature in connection with Lis business No drafts could be drawn in the morning until she appeared at the bank In every way she assisted Mr Harper She appeared to have a wonderful influence over Mr Harper they would quarrel but their troubles only lasted a few moments According to Mr Baldwin she was close mouthed and not in the habit of talking about the affairs of the bank He gives her the credit of having been a thorough clerk All of the concerns in which Mr Harper was interested seemed to have an unlimited credit at the hank This was also the case so far as Mr Harper himself was concerned balances of $100000 and upward standing to his credit for weeks without any material change If a stockholder became dis satisfied and was desirous of selling his stock Harper would buy it in When these stocks accumulated and became too great he would put them together in large blocks and would then have new certificates issued for them in his own name or in the name of Gahr or in that of his brother in law Matthews He seemed to be perfectly loaded down with stock and always had A LARGE WAI LET illed with certificates lying upon his desk Never for a moment did he ap pear concerned in regard to the condi tion of the bank and always looked upon any deal in which he might enter as an assured success Mr Baldwin does not in any manner attempt to connect any person other than Mr Harper with the failure of the idelity Bank All he snys gave bin credit for being a very wealthy man and his evidence as to his wealth would certainly he suggests lead to such an impression He often heard Mr Hop kins say that Mr Harper was worth at least $5000000 DR MARY THOMAS MAKES A PLEA No Rheumatiz About Me IX ONE

Minneapolis Oct 8 Atthe Knights of Labor convention Thomas Lowry of Bradford Pa read an appeal on the operationsof the Stanard Oil monopoly in which it was stated that at the rate they have been able to crush out all competitors in the past ten years they will unless some system of re striction can be adopted own or control in twenty years three fourths of all the railroads and manufacturing enterprises in the United States In fact they now control legislation in several states regarding the transportion of oil and have pocketed and are pock eting millions a year at the expense of the producer and consumer tbe Yellow ever District and Aid Much Needed Washington Oct 10 The Marine Hospital Bureau is in receipt of a tele gram from Deputy Collector Spencer at Tampa lorida stating that

Acting Surgeon General Stoner has telegraphed to the president of the Tampa Board of Health asking if the disease existing there is yellow fever and if so what steps are being taken for its

Washington Oct 8 The Comptrol ler of the Currency to day received from Cincinnati a voluminous report from the receiver of the idelity Na tional Bank in regard to its condition The report will be made public this afternoon While the affairs of the bank are known to be in a complicated and highly unsatisfactory condition it is believad that the funds at command will justify the Comptroller in declar ing a small dividend in favor of the depositors at an early day Committee Will Probably Meet Early in December to ix a Date New York Oct 8 In the last Re publican National Convention a reso lution was passed directing the Na tional Committee to issue the call for the next convention at least six months in advance of the time for assembling This resolution will force upon the Republicans the neces sity of taking the initiative next year and will leave to the Democrats the choice of holding their convention be fore or after the Republican conven tion If the convention is held in June of next year the call must be issued in December Steps have been already taken to call the committee together Secretary Samuel essenden of Stam ford Ct has addressed a circular to each member of the committee asking an expression of opinion as to the best time and place of holding the meeting It is probable that the committee will be called together either in New York or Washington early in December It has been generally thought that Chica go would be the place of holding the Convention but there is some discus sion among the New York politicians whether they will not ask the commit tee to call the convention either in this city or at Saratoga The argument for this course would be that as New York is considered the pivotal and important State of next election the holding of the con vention in this State would give much assistance to the party here Eastern politicians understand however that the South and West would like the convention held at Chicago and may combine to take it there The influ ence of the friends of candidates may have much to do in effecting the final decision POWDER Absolutely Pure This powder never varies A marvel of pu strength and wholesomeness More econ omical

Interest of Victims In the Be nevolent Institutions Richmond Ind Oct 10 1887 To the Editor of the Telegram By the accompanying resolutions you will see that the Orthodox Yearly Meet ing of riends recently held here took very decided ground in reference to the management of the benevolent institutions of the State This in connection with the action of the recent meeting of those in the civil service movement it is hoped will add at least a mite in show ing the demand of public sentiment for more humane treatment of inmates of these institutions and especially the inmates of the insane hospital That these perfectly helpless irresponsible citizens should be the victims of politi cal treachery and be subject to brutal treatment at the hands of attendants appointed without regard to qualifica tions in any sense is a crjing evil of which both political parties when in power ought to be ashamed Think of these unfortunate men abused and the members often of the best families in the State placed under the charge of any girls picked up because they can be had cheap and are out of employment And cases of cruelty are often reported to others that the vic tims dare not report to the proper offi cers for fear of greater suffering at the hands of these ward attendants It is to be hoped for the sake of these suf fering fellow citizensand for the honor of the State that persons will be ap pointed as care takers who have at least enough of human kindness in their hearts as well as other qualifications for the place to treat the insane with the common humanity that their situ ation demands or the right Thomas THE RESOLUTION Indiana Yearly Meeting of riends as a branch of the Church of Christ protests against the cruel and inhuman treatment some times inflicted upon those placed in the State benevolent and reformatory institutions especially upon the helpless inmates of the in sane asylums We would raise our voice against it And we call on all other Christian de nominations to join in the protest against the enormity of cruelty and crime practiced in some of the charita ble institutions and in striving to bring to bear whatever influence the Church possesses to have the management of these institutions placed in the hands of Christian men and women without regard to party affiliations This was adopted almost by acclamation William Williams of Teiiuesae at the Cabin

More Interesting Information Regarding Cincinnati Ilan king Cincinnati Oct 10 or some days it has been reported that Ammi Bald win cashier of the defunct idelity Bank had made a statement regarding the management and career of the bank to be laid before the authorities at Washington that contained much im portant information The Enquirer has been seeking for at least tbe import of thisstatement and reports the result of its search as follows: rom what can be learned from all sources and putting this and that to gether Mr statement to his attorneys must have been most sensa tional rom the statement it appears that the claim of Mr Harper made at the Dayton jail in regard to a certain agreement drawn up and signed by Joe Wilshire George Wilshire Truman Handy the firm of Chatfield Woods and Harper himself in regard to the payment of $2000 to Baldwin by each one for his silence after his discovery of tbe raid which had been made upon the Third National Bank by the wheat speculators interested in the Handy Chicago wheat deal was only too true At that time Mr George Wilshire 1 was president of the bank Baldwin I was cashier and Mr Hopkins also figur ed in a high position William Woods and Mr Harper were directors This matter has been touched upon to some 1 extent heretofore but it is not general ly known how close a call the Third National Bank had at that time The bank figured very largely in the July I 1881 wheat deal at Chicago Instead of having on hand at the close of busi ness on the evening of July 26th about a $1000000 in cash in round 1 numbers there was ONLY ABOUT SIXTEEN HUNDRED DOL LARS This condition of affairs was the i means of sending on to Chicago two of the Directors of the bank They left 1 on the evening of July 26th By ten the next morning they tele 1 graphed the bank from Chicago that they had succeeded in raising a sufli 1 cient amount of money to bridge over the existing trouble Three hundred and seventy five thousand dollars had been collected and before eleven that immense sum was telegraphed the bank thus preventing a collapse and heading off one of the most decided failures ever imminent in banking circles in this city Other Directors than those men tioned know nothing about the real condition of the bank at that time and Mr statement will now ap pear to them in the nature of a great 1 surprise 1 It was in the succeeding deal where 1 the same clique sold short that Mr 1 brother then paying teller of the Third National Bank EMBEZZLED EIGHTEEN THOUSAND DOL LARS Of the funds of the Third This it was that Mr Baldwin became a servant to the caprices of Harper and that clique Desirous of covering up the short comings of a brother he mort gaged his own home and made himself liable to Harper for the balance neces sary to coverup the deficit rom that time on notwithstanding his objection he was rendered a slave to their desires This portion of the story is told by Mr Baldwin in a manner that could not but excite the utmost feeling His brother led by the pretensions of those about him and feeling the lack of wealth and its comfort had become an embezzler The deal would be success ful he thought and within a few days he would be able to return to the vaults the money he had abstracted But the deal failed His brother was an embezzler and heart broken he called upon Ammi and made the start ling disclosure Ammi sail! nothing at the time only promising to do all he possibly could to cover up THE SHORTCOMINGS HIS BROTHER He succeeded but in doing solaid himself open to Harper and friends by borrowing from them the amount necessary to make up the de ficit The result is only too well known It has frequently been hinted at but never until this time has it be come really known that Theophilus Baldwin the paying teller of the Third National Bank met his death by his own hand Realizing that he was an embezzler and fearing the conse quences of his crime he took his own life Mr Baldwin strongly protests his in nocence of any knowledge of the real condition of the idelity Bank and claims that no person is a greater loser through that failure than himself Just a few days before tbe failure for a lady relntivs he purchased about $3500 worth of idelity Bank stock Mr Baldwin himself was probably as much interested so it would seem in the success of the idelity Bank as was any other person He gives a full his tory of the idelity Bank from its con ception to its dismal failure He goes on to say thatseveral gentlemen think ing that they could buy up the capital stock of the idelity Ssfe Deposit ano Trust Company at eighty cents on the dollar got together and through A WELL KNOWN THIRD STREET BROKER Mr Harry Morehead purchased suffi cient stock to control it They held a meeting and a reduction of the capital stock from $500 (XXI to $100000 was made They resolved to return to the stock holders the 80 per cent red action in the stock of a National Bank which they proposed founding This Nation al Bank stock was stock in the idelity Many accepted the cash proposition while the majority were more than satisfied with the stock of the new bank This was really the origin of the ideli ty Bank which started with a capital stock of $2 000 (XX) all of which was paid in Through the connivance of Mr Harper the greater part of this stock was bought in by the great finan cier himself although most of it was held in the name of his friends Mr Harper at the time of the organization of the bank was TO ALL PURPOSES INSOLVENT He made a vow that idelity stock should not go down one point until it had reached 175 He gave standing orders to Morehead and to Dun lap Co to buy all the idelity stock ottered His only aim appeared to be to sustain the price of that stock To had Aft ferred to Matthews his brother in law and to A Gahr On these certificates large loans were made not only in this city but for large amounts in New York Boston St Louis Phila delphia and almost every large town in the country The bank was really run on wind Almost every dollar of the stock was either owned or controlled by Harper Of course this is meant in a figurative sense Mr Harper had the controlling interest but associated with him were such men as Briggs Swift William I REYNOLDS 718 MAIN STREET About tbs Sale of tbe Telecrapb to the Western ITnlon One Deny ing tbe Other Affirming New York Oct 8 The statement in the Times this morning to the effect that Robert Garrett referring to the absorption of the telegraph lines by the Western Union had said: no trade caused consider able talk to day but no excitement Mr George Gould treated the story laughingly He did not believe that Mr Garrett was strictly quoted and said the collateral has not been turned over an agreement has been signed and is in our possession There is no Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph Company now as their wires are a part of our Later Mr Garrett still refuses to say whether the great telegraph deal has been legally completed or not The statement is that Mr Robert Garrett said in a conversation with Edward Stokes and a small party of friends at the Hoffman House that the Ohio Mr Jav Gould ment most emphatically made was a genuine surprise to Mr Stokes and his friends They supposed the sale had been ratified and that all papers relat ing to it had been signed sealed and delivered They hinted as much ask ing Mr Garrett if he had read the papers Mr Garrett replied that he had but repeated that in spite of every thing said and done the Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph Company had not yet been absorbed by its hungry rival Before Mr Garrett left the Hoffman House he had impressed his hearers with the idea that Gould might exper ience a good deal of trouble before he could legally claim the Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph Company as his own Of one thing they were satisfied that Gould would not be allowed to keep his new purchase at the price he is said to have paid for Mr Garrett in addition to announcing that no trade had been made said that would under no circ*mstances get the Baltimore Ohio Telegraph Company for $5000 000 he would have to pay a good deal bigger figure for he was the last man in the country to whom Garrett would be willing to sell Robert Garrett did not say all this until he had a long talk with John Cowan and other counsel Baltimore Oct A dispatch was received by a banker here to day from Mr Robt Garrett in reply to an inqui ry if he would fight the sale of the Telegraph The reply was: have nothing to THE GILBERT STOCK BOOTS AND
