UNLUCKY SPECULATION.

HOW THE TREASURER OF A FALL RIVER MILL
DABBLED IN FUTURES" WITH BENEVOLENT
INTENT-corToN pERvERsELY DECLINES AND
LEAVES HIM DEFAULTER.
FALL RIVER. Mass. July %. 1879.
The two leading topics of conversation here to-
day have been the irregular transactions of George
i. Durfee at Mechanics Mill and the disturbance
and shooting at Slade Mill last night. Concerning
the former statement was this afternoon made
by Durfee to James NJ. Morton, Jr.. clerk
of the corporation. and Frank S. Stevens,
ono Of the directors. The Irregularities were
discovered q week ago Saturday by the bookkeeper
at the mill, who found note for $4,000 ut the
Mctacomct Bank to the credit of the mill. Not
knowing any ythipg about it ho took it to Air. Dur
fec and demanded an explanation. Not having sue
ceeded in obtaining one the clerk laid the matter be-
fore President Stephen Davol. and meeting Of d-
rectors. at which Mr.. Durfee was present. was
called within two hours.
UNpRoFITADLE ALL AROUND.
Some months ago Mr.. Durfee made experiments
with boilers which proved unsuccessful and
costly to the mill In addition to this he sold
to the American Print Works. OF which he was d.
rector just before their failure. $1,000 pieces For
both of these transactions no was severely
ccnsured by tho stockholders. and he
states that, seeing as he supposed an oppor-
tunity to make large amount of money by specu-
iating in cotton. he atf;ey,ssd to invest in
futures. intending to turn the Snroits to the
mill and surprise the directors. He commenced
specuating on July II, when cotton almost a.:
its highest point purchasing through Tuttie: Milne
Co.. brokers. paying the following day the first
margin of $1,000 for which he gave n mill note.
Tho transaction was continued until week ago last
Saturday, when the note discovered. lie lost in
all $4,000, which was paid in margins as follows-
Two sums OF $4,000 each. one of 900 and of
$4,000. lie states that the futures bought for
himself. unknown to the directors. with the cy pher
of the mill.
DEMANDING RESTITUTION.
AS soon as the directors found out that $4,000 Of
their money had been squandered they insisted that
that amount should be made good, and they believe
that Durfce and his relatives have turned over
enough property to secure it. It is said, however,
that some of this property has been attached by
banks holding the private notes of Durfee ana his
relatives.
The directors have made careful examination of
the books and say they correct aud that $5 900
is the maximum amount of mill funds used by the
treasurer. Durce resigned his position
and the resignation accepted by the board Of
directors this afternoon.

Kentucky Democratic Plat
form.

First-The Democracy of Kentucky, in
convention assembled, reafirm their at
tachment to the Constitution of the Unit
ed States and the union Of the States as
the best guarantee for the liberties of the
people and their prosperity and hap
piness.
Second-They rejoice in the fact that
ii is in their power to recognize that all
the States are restored to their political
autonomy.
Third-They thereby record their SOL
emn protest that popular verdict at the
polls has been reversed by the action of
an electoral commission, aad they declare
that, while in the interest of peace that
result was acquiesced in, yet 1t shall no I
be held as precedent for future viola
tions of right and justice. Though thus
deprived of control of the Executive pow
er in the Administration of the Federal
Government, they congratulate the peo-
ple of the country at large that the popu-
lar will, exercised at the polls, has secur-
ed the supremacy of Democratic major
ity in bo h Houses of Congress. In fur
ther expression of our views, we resolve
that we have viewed with intense inter
est the issue between the Congress of the
United States and the President, and con-
template with unfeigned anxiety and
condemnation LOc
assumed by the Executive in his message
rejecting the supplies rendered him by
the people for the support of their army,
upon the wholesome condition that no
military force should be used at their
elections.
Resolued, That we heartily indorse the
position taken by our Senator'S and Rep.
resentatiyes in Congress in coupling with
the appropriation bills now pending a
demand for redress Of grievances by the
repeal of existing laws which tolerate the
presence of soldiers at the polls, the con-
tinuance of test oaths as condition for
iurv service, aud the employment of Su-
pervisors and Deputy Marshals TO control

Senators and Representatives, and, in

hereby assure them of our hearty support

maintain the fundamental principle that
the military power shall be kept subor.

The Homeopathy Yellow Fe-
Ver Report.

The American Institute of Hom9>
opathy presented a special yellow fever
report to Congress of sixty-six pages
concerning the epidemic of 1878.
There we're 1914 cases reported by
homeopathic physicians with only 261
deaths, a per centage Of 6 ). OF
these l ,945 were in New Orleans, and
there the death per centage was only
D 3-5. 1t was less fatal among blacks,
in 900 cases there being only % deaths
This report is very minute, the name,
color, age aud address of 2,010 patients
being published. There were 64 re
covcrics after black vomit. OF 628
children under 10 years only 40 died
The report says: 1.-The range of homo
opathic loss, as between different ply
sicians of the school, is very limited,
say from five TO ten per cent. The
range of loss under the diverse and
opposite practices of the old school, is
very great, from five to twenty five,
thirty and even forty per cent" The
commission accepts the germ theory,
and says they were imported, and exist
in the soil or atmosphere, aud may lie
dormant for years, requiring a concur.
renee of causes to develop them into
state of disease producing activity.
Domestic yellow fever can only be pre-
vented by local sanitary measures.
