An applcation was presented, Yesterday, to
Judge Van Brunt by William Fullerton and Lord. Day

Thomas Lord The application is made by three OF his
four sons Thomas Lord ir, Henry Lord and Francis H.
Lord The petition in the ordinary form, but ap-
pended TO il are the afidavitS OF the Cons.
Thomas Lord IT,, says in his affidavit that his father

enty years. and is eightythree years old His wife
died 1872. He owns in real estate between 100000
and 81 600 900, all rented except the house he
pies and about 100000 in bonds, stocks and mort.
Cages. His income has been S125,000 year, and
be has until lately expended only $4,000 to
100000 a wear. In early life he acquired bug
mess habits but within the last two years
he disposed his believes Of 100000 although
he has business and Use for so large sum- Al one
he drew in bank bills 900 at another $3l 000

and the believes it lost He has said that
IN Europe owes him 100000, but the soD could not
learn his name, his inquiries exciting his father, and
causing him TO turn the son out OF his Office.
The deponent knows OF no person in Europe TO whom
his father could have made such large lOans.n any
dinaly business. On December 2and December 0, his
father drew checks for 50 O0O which the believe
have been parted with for nothing valuable. The

ana could scarcely be induced to indorse the
checks The building in which his Office is is owned
partly by him. partly by his brother, and the cost OF
repairs is OF course divided between them. Murphy,
his janitor, presented bill OF $40 for repairs, OF
which his share was $40. He drew q check for the
whole amount and got very angry at Hnrphy's remon
Finally, Murphy took the check, drew it, and
returned the proper share In stating account with
his brother he did 1t IN five six different

CATTLE MEN AND coNrRAC ZION

The cattle men of Texas are in a
bad condition. The failure of banks
of Kansas City and of St. Louis, to
which they have heretofore resorted
for large sums, enabling them to trans
fer countless herds to those cities,
compels them to look to Texas insti-
tutions. To the extent that these
lend credit to cattle men, beyond COM
paratively small amounts heretofore
advanced, Texas merchants aud cot
ton dealers are restricted in their op-
erations, and thus it is that the fail
ure last week of the strongest bank in
Kansas City is deemed q great misfor-
tune, even in Texas. The terrible
shock that befel the distant, vigorous
city, on the lofty hills in Northwestern
Missouri, Is felt everywhere on the
plains of Southwestern Texas and here
in the commemorative capital. These
are lugubrious days. Eastern monopo-
lists of wealth rare monopolists Of
power, and in gathering in the cOun-
try's riches, with . greed only compar-
able to the subssryiency Of govern
msnt 70 its selfish purposes there is no
interest Of society 90 minute, or scene
Of industry 30 distant from the point
At which wealth Is centralized BY pow
er, that the many are not stricken
down that the few may Be lifted up.
The whole scheme and system Of gov
ernment i 50 devised that the wealth
Of the East i messnreless - the power
II Of the West and South Is

against plutocfsey. The cleaning
