BALTIMORE, June 7.-Thomas Wills was ar
resred here, at the instance of his son, on the
charge of being an escaped convict from Black
wells Island, N. Y, and also on q further
charge of bigamy. On an examination last
evening he was committed on the latter charge
for the action of the grand jury Wills formerly
resided in England, where he married his first
wife in 1912. He deserted her in 1861, coming
to the United States. Several years afterwards
she followed and found him in Vermont. They
then lived together husband and wife in
Philadelphia until about two years since, when
he again deserted her.
The wife again found him in New York,
where, on charges preferred by her, he was
arrested and sent to Blackwells Island. Wills
alleges that he served out his full term, but his
son stated that he escaped. He came to Balt-
more, and on the 2Sth of last October was mar
ried to Miss Harvey, proprietress of a mili-
merry establishment on West Baltimore street,
under the name of Henry Roberts The mar
rage ceremony was performed by Rev. DR..

and 25 years, were present at the examination

'the Ways and Means Committee have reported
the new Funding bill Its general provisions have
been already anticipated. The new loan is to be
81 000, 000 in the form OF thirty year bond, at
twentes, and to be sold at not less than par in gold
In the work OF transforming the debt the Secretary
of the Treasury is authorized to sell the surplus gold
OF the Treasury to cancel the outstanding debt while
the bonds already in the special and sinking funds
are TO be destroyed. The bill has been ordered to
be printed. The compulsory section affecting the
national banks has been left out In the street is
tho ught that the Senate Will insist upon the original
bill and that in the failure OF the two houses TO
agree the whole funding question Will fall TO the
ground for this session OF Congress-.
'Some of the stock houses reported better in-
quiTy for money, and new loans were made in some
instances as high as five per cent The prevailing
rates four TO five on stocks and three to four

OF the bank statement on Saturday that no further

especially as a better demand is reported in the
Western money centres. Commercial paper was
unchanged.
