ING FOR DEFENSE.
The Philadelphia Ledger announces:
The Building Association League is now fully
organized for business, with officers elected for
term Of one year, and code Of laws for the regu-
laton OF Its business. Proper Limitations have
been put upon the expenditure OF the money con-
tr1outed to the League and the first in which
II has undertaken to defend Building Association
interests Is typical OF the use to be made Of the
League funds. The Commonwealth has madc
claim against certain societies for q bonus ol one
quarter OF per cent on capitpi stock. based upon
iii obscurity in the law, w:ich Is construed in op-
position 10 the manifest intention Of the Lesisa-
tu1e. All soctttics incorporated under the act OF
1874 asc directly interested in the aec*'on Of this
case and all otter societies indi-
rectly interested, because II cne CLASS
OF societies ~ to be taxed all other classes should
be taxed. Hence old aud new soc1e1les have to-
Ccthcr formed the Building ASSOCIATION League Of
Pennsylvania, and will unitcdiy defend each
others interests.

THE VANOEyOORT CASE,


CHICAGO, Oct. 1o.-1 notice with surprise the
accusation made against Mrs. y. Vandcvoort
causing the death Of her husband. Between
three aud four months previous to the death OF
Mr. Nelson Vandeyoort had said to him SUBJ
stantially that there was not only no cure
to be hoped for in his case, but that
the influence Of any known medicine on the
course of his disease was slight, doubtful, and
even detrimental, that I advised him not to
squaudcr his little means On doctors' fees or
druggists compounds. The patic1t came into
nv hands from DR.. Walter, Ear, late resident
of this city. lie lad tested tho wine for
sugar; tested it. Albert F. Elart, one Of
our first chemists, had tested it; We all found
that he hao diabetes mcl;trs'' il, q very
acute form, which disease exhausted his vitality,
He became dropsical, he lost his appetite and
flesh, aud wasted away to a skeleton, exccpt
when he was bloated with dropsical cfrl-
sions about tie abdomen, feet, and face,
lie for several months had signs OF tuberc,1lar
disorganizatioti Of the lungs, cough, initiative
fever and the usual physical signs Of the disease,
overwhelmed by these grave and multltudnous
ills, the man died natural death from disease,
and no one not i fienu or fool could, with
knowledge OF the true state ol affairs. come
to any other conclusion. To ease his suffcrinvs

in awhile possibly in the daytime, but always in

The Public. in it's usual presentation OF the
weekly clearinga OF the principal clties re1naEks
Business hus struck a kandbar. Until Oct
there was quite encouraging improvement. Had
it continued III tuii proportion, the hank exchanges
AT the twelve chief cities Tor two weeks OF Octo-
Der would have reached 81. 40, 600 o00. without
any increase OF stack transactions here to swell the
aggregate. Instead, We have exchanges amount
ing to only 81 oSi. 5iS, o9l. against 81, 93 277.-
954 during the corresponding weeks last
ycar,--an increase OF en!y $50. 27o, 600; and
yet the Gales of stock were larger BY 76a, QUO
sharce than those OF the two weeks last year,
which would occasion III increase OF 1t least S42,
900. 600 In exchanges. In addition, there were
heavy payments last week. amounting to many
millions, in settlement for cent bonds.
Moreover the operations Of several large banks at
san francisco, which were not in the Clearing
House last year, are now included, adding prOha-
bly, moro than 81, 900. 900 each week to the re-
corded exchanges. but not to the actual traasac-
tiuns, THUS the aggregate gain disappears,
notwithstanding the large increase In grain opera
tons, amountin; to nearly 80 per cent at MiwAn-
kee. In spite Of the grain movement, Chicago
turns declining exchanges; Tut for that movement

The following shows the actual exchanges for two
weeks ending Oct. II. 1877, and Two weeks ending
Oct. ii, 1o7G. excepting that the exchanges of the
last week San Francisco this year are estimated
at Sl1, 900, 900. Proportions Of gain loss, and
