Gen. Pearson submits His Re.
port OF the July Riots.

PITTSBURGH, December IA. The Off.
ciAlrepOrt Of Major General Pearson has
been submitted 10 the Adjutant General
Of the State, and explains many things in
connection nth the July riots, which
have not hitherty been known or under.
stood. The fact ia brought to light that
General Pearson was not present when
the firing took place on 2SLh street,
but was in the telegraph office OF the
outer depot in communication with Ad.
jutant General La.ta, who had his head
quarters at the Union passenger depot.
He was about to start up TO the Crossing
when he received telegram Of the COLI.
sion, and, turning into the office, he sent
Tor Maj1r General Brinton. When he
came in they had a consultation with
Vice President Cassett, who, fearing for
the railroad property, requested that the
troops be brought in TO occupy
and guard 1t. This request was com.
piled with and the troops ordered into
the round houses and other buildings.
The Philadelphia militia were without
rations and in famished condition, and
alter making several Intellectual efforts to
secure food for them, Gen. Pearson, with
se7ersl memberS Of his stat, started for
the Union depot Tor the purpose OF pro.
curing food. He arrived there about
1890 P. NJ, and was at once advised and
requested by the Adjulant General that,
owing TO the evaporation exciting
against him amongst the rioters, who held
him responsible for the firing and loss OF
life, he should desist from further
participation in command, as his pres.
enCe would only incite them to further
deeds Of outrage and violence and he
himself inevitably murdered. Yelling to
bis superior officers, he removed his
headquarters from the Union Department
to a private residence and made provision
for communication should such be deSi-
red. After being thus relieved Of COM
mand Gen. Pearson took no further in
,terest In military operations here.
The report then details the various
operations in the anthracite region, and
closes with some practica! suggestions as
TO the future management and services
.ot State troops.

National Trust Company In Bad
shape.

NEw YORK, December 14.--Bank Es.
aminer Best, in report to the Superin.
tendent Of the Banking Department on
the condition oil the National Trust Com.
pany Of this city, says as the examination
progressed, discovered many evidences
Of maladministration by the officers. The
condition Of the company is most critical
and demands immediate action on your
part. A large portion Of collaterals are
wholly unknown and some are OF no
value whatever. As a whole they
are very diversified in character,
and many Of them never should have
been accepted. The action Of the officers
in loanins on or investing in such securi-
ties was in plain violation OF the charter
OF the company and has resulted disas-
trously. The consequent fE0pairment OF
the capital may safely be placed at not
less than S700, 1000. Ibelieve many OF the
trustees were not cognirant Of the trans-
actions referred to. Indeed, several OF
them have exprdssed their great surprise
and Indignation on account Of the mis-
management which my examination has
disclosed.
