That Forgery.

The charge against the youth, Thos. Glavey,
for forgery, came up yesterday before Commits
sioner Chamberlain. It will be remembered that
this is the individual who is charged with the
forgery of the signature OF Julian Neville, Eco.
to check on the United States Assistant Treas
ury. For the prosecution, Treasurer Flanders,
his clerk and Mr.. Neville testified, and when the
case had closed, United States District Attorney
Lacey asked Glavey whether he had any desire
to make voluntary statement. Glavey replied
that he thought he would, and stated the follow
ing:
Sunday evening, about 1l11a o'clock p. m., Joe
Geddis came out and told me no wanted to gee
me Monday at 10 O'Clock. 1 told him all right; go
he met me Monday morning, and he showed me
this check and told me he wanted me to 20 and
cash it. l told him didn't like to do it, but he
told me needn't be scared, for it was no forgery
or anything. So I went down with him as far as
the Mint, and went up with tbs check and l
haven't seen him since. l presented the check
for payment and it was refused.
After hearing the evidence the Commissioner
held the accused in the sum Of $4,000 bond, in
default OF which he went to prison.

young actors, each Of whom played bis part in

Comparative Settlemcnts-What the Au
ditOrial Committee are Doing.
All but two of the tax collectors have nov
made their settlements with the Auditor, and
but four or five have yet to report to the Treas

The promptness exhibited in these settlements
is praiseworthy, and shows

over former administrations, when, IL twenty
parishes settled up In the time specified by law,
the State officials thought the "return" was
splendid.
The Auditoral Committee have nearly COM
pleted an important communication to the Gov

OF the conclusions they have arrived at, and may
at the same time present some

The Pennsylvania Road Probably Bank
rupted.
[5t. Louis Times.1
PITTsBURG, July 22.--The widest and
most varied estimation of the losses OF
the last twenty-four hours are in every
mouth. Some say $2O, 900, 900 some 5000,
0OO,0O0. Outside of the railroad inter-
est, the direct loss is probable 81 900 ,00O
Ii the Pennsylvania Company are re-
sponsible for freight burned and trans
portaion line cars, their losses may be-
estimated from $50 100000 to $50 600, OeO-
The Pan Handle loses from $4,000, 900 to-
$5,OO0,00O. These, of course, are but
estimates. Railroad officials and insur..
ance men are non est. It has been said
many times that these immense losses.
together with the embargo on trade
from the strike, which, by the way, has
not yet ended, and the crippling OF their
trade from the loss of q hundred en-
gines, cannot fail to bankrupt the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company. OF course,
Pittsburg is legally liable for all the
damage done; but what can she do?
She has q debt Of $17,OOO,O 900, thousands
Of unpaid interest. and is already on
the. verge OF bankruptcy or reputation.
and IL the Pennsylvania and the other
losers press their demands, one or the
other in all probability will follow. A
Pennsylvania railroad official has stated
that threatened bankruptcy compelled
the late reduction of prices. II such is
the case, this must be all but death
dealing blow.

No Prospects of Compromise.
[5t. Louis Times.1

WHEELING, W. Va, July 25.-No real
progress toward compromise has yet
been made, although the efforts Of the
railway officials continue. AS they
seem to weaken, the backbone of the
strikers naturally stiffens, and the rail-
road men now consider themselves more
solid than ever. in spite Of the tenn
porary triumphs of the authorities
at some points. The arrangements
of the strikers are so perfect,
and their determination is so stub
born, that they have no doubt
Of ultimate success. When the train
blockade in raised at one point, it Is sure
to be renewed at another, and it is be-
lieved that the strikers will thus gain
their ends without the shedding of
blood or the destruction Of property.
OF course they are greatly assisted by
the symathy, both active and silent, Of
the people OF the entire country
through which the road passes. They
have no doubt that the railway officials
are weakening every hour, aad that
their success is mere question Of time.
In this belief they are encouraged by
the attitude Of the committee that was
lately here from the East.

Wisdora Respecting striped stockings.
[London Truth

Ladies, it seems, have for some time
past been in doubt whether, in les bas
Tayes, the stripes should run down or
round the stocking. "This important
problem" says fashionable contem-
porary, ''has been set at rest by the new
fashion OF embroidered stockings, in
which the foundation is either pink,
blue or salmon, and the long instep is
worked and studded with buds, flowers
smoothly the dear creatures have ar
ranged this veratG qu0estio, and yet
there are cynics who affirm that women
are incapable of taking part in politics
or Of managing the affairs of an empire.
Had I been called upon to settle it, I
should have suggested that round stripes
be worn by ladies with unsubstantiaI
legs, and long stripes by ladies with
substantial legs.

Some time ago there was Mary Ella
harrington mystery in Lowell, Mass.
Miss Harrington disappeared and left
no clue. She lately reappeared, her
body having broken its anchorage from
a weight at the bottom Of the river. She
STUCK one loot up above the surface, and
by 1t the body was towed ashore. Then
| the Harrington mystery was thread by
thread unraTelled, and the parties In
Iinterest in the killing and hiding OF the
| girl were arrested. There were in the
! case lover, q seduction, and the natural
consequences uDnaturally disposed Of
asdoctor, q murder and several acceeBo-
ries to it, and then a careful covering Up
Of The tracks.
Jas. A. Favor, the grandfather of TIE
seducer, was one OF the persons impi-
Gated. He was placed under $4,000
bonds to appear for trial, which he gave
lost man, and seemed to know that he,
would not live long. He met an under
taker and requested him to take charge
OF his funeral, which he said would
come off shortly. He had of late years
been living on some money he had saved
in more prosperous times, and this was
nearly gone He was getting old, any
The other day he was hurrying
along the street towards the ca
nal and met another undertaken.
Undertakers seemed to beset his
path. This one asked in bust
ness sort Of way how he felt. He an
swered "tip-top," and hurried on. Under
one arm he carried q package wrapped
in brown paper, which looked like o big
Bible. It WAS really square paving
stone weighing fifteen or twenty pounds,
with a rope attached. Arrived at the
canal, the factory people saw him and
watched his movements from high
windows. It was evident to them he
was preparing to take a plunge out Of
the world. They were Interested to
see how q man does this sort Of
thing. He walked up and down the
bank OF the canal several times, occa-
sionally sitting down and examining
some papers he had with him-last
words, etc. He laid the papers on the
bank, put his handkerchief over them,
and bis hat-a stove pipe--upon the
handkerchief. Then he put stone on
the crown Of the hat and seemed to be
satisfied with the general adjustment.
He forthwith unwrapped his square par
cel,, tied the rope around his neck, sus-
the canal, which swallowed him up. In
about three hours the body wasrecover-
ed. On one paper was written: "You
will find my body In the canal. j.
Favor" On another: 20 land of rest
for thee 1 seek" A stone weighing
about q pound was found in each panta-
looms pocket. Confess ions had been
made In the Harrington case that clear

release bis bondsmen without going in

THE STRIKE PREVAILS,
and it was ascertained that not one of the agents
have received such instructions. On the con-
trary, each one is receipting for freight, and Of
those called upon none seemed to think that there
would be the slightest detention.
Through tickets have again been placed on
sale at each of the railroad agencies. and the
latest advices to the agents justifes the state
ment that the trunk lines North and West are
