The affairs of that brilliant, but de-
cidedly cratic institution, the Ladies'
Deposit Bank, of Boston, are gradually
being wound up. At a meeting of the
creditors, a few days ago, special re-
port was made by the assignee, from
which it appears that there have been
presented, up to date, 937 claims, with
an aggregate face value Of 1885, 600,
and demands for interest on ninety
seven claims, amounting to 81, 40,
making a grand total of 1886, ,123. 40.
There will be a rebate Of. .$4S, ,43O.3O,
leaving the net liabilities to date, $292,-
693.29, but there are still many more
claims to be presented. An order has
been issued for the payment of divi-

claims, but beyond that the creditors

The Eau Claire Trouble.

EAU CLAIRE, July 23.-The day has
been one of feverish excitement in this
city. Governor Smith arrived here yes
terday and had a chance to see about
1000 Of the strikers on parade. At
the same time there were reliable re-
ports that the strikers had determined
to visit Chippewa Falls and stop the
Union Lumber company's extensive
mill, and half q dozen smaller ones in
that vicinity, to induce the hands to join
them, and make q break for Knapp,
Stout T. Co.'S mills at Menominee and
compel the men to quit work there. In
short, they had determined to compel
all of the mills in the valley to shut
down. In view of this, and also that q
great many of the men were anxious
to keep at work, and could not because
of the interference of the strikers, it
was decided, after consultation with
many of the leading lumbermen, to
bring several companies of the National
Guard here at the earliest possible mo-
ment. The governor took immediate

The cities of the extreme South are
having their periodic scare over the re-
appearance of yellow fever. Two OF
three cases have been reported, it is
not known with how much reason, at
Pensacola, and the heat has frightened
New Orleans people considerably, al.
though there has been no outbreak.
Notwithstanding the ravages Of this
plague from season to season, little pro-

dered by disregard of the ordinary laws

In appears from the official statistics
that the reduction of the tax upon
tobacco which went into effect little
more than a year ago, has been follow
ed by an increased consumption of the
article and an increased revenue. 1t is
claimed that the increase is due to the
slight reduction in the cost of manu-.
facture, but this is questionable, and is
merely matter of opinion.

Indignation expressed by the leaders

talk indicated that they could not be
frightened away, but when the COM

armed and we'll drilled, commanded by
experienced officers, there was sud
den change. 1t is expected now that
it will not be necessary to adopt harsh
measures, and it is likely that the men
who want to will resume work next
Monday, when most of the mills will
start up.

Only one mill in the city is run

up next Monday. They can get men on

of the strikers will 60 hack. A large
number have already gone elsewhere,
and more will 60. The strikers hold
meetings daily and their speakers ad-
wise them to keep within the bounds Of
the law. The citizens are very quiet,
and there has been no serious disturb
ance since the strike begun. Gov.
Smith addressed large meeting in the
park, at 5 O'Clock, counseling obedience
to the laws. He informed the strikers
that the troops were here to protect
those who wanted to work, and not to
compe! any to 60 back who did not
wish to.

The man who started the yaru few
weeks ago that Maud S. was "off," and
would probably be sent back to Mr..
Vanderbilt, has occasion to oe asham-
ed Of himself. If thus early in the
season, without sufficient work to real
ly harden her, she begins to lower the
records, what may not be expected Of
her before its close? Capt. Stones con-
fident prediction that she would this
year show 2:OS now seems among the
probabilities. Indeed such wonderful
reserve power does the great daugh-
ter of Harold and Miss Russell
show, that tu:fmen would not be great
ly astonished to see her put on the
record at even a lower notch. Her his
tory on the turf is the briefest and
most brilliant in the annals of trottinp.
Bought by Capt. George N. Stone, of
Cincinnati, as filly, for $500, she
showed a full mile at Lexington, KY,
as 4-yer-old in 2:173, on the strength
Of which Mr.. Vanderbilt paid s21 600
for her. and put her in the hands of Col.
s. Burr, of New York. He could make
nothing of her, and she was sent back
to Cincinnati, to be in charge of Capt.
Stone and to be handled by Billy Bair.
She was matched against Trinket-4-
year-old record of 2:19a-and, over the
Chicago track, last year made q record
of 2:133, coming home in a jog. Then
she went through the grand central
circuit, trotting competitive exhibitions
with St. Julian, who then had record
of 2:123, made in California the year
before. At Rochester both lowered the
record, trotting in in 2:11a, and max
ing "dead heat" at the time. Under
orders from Mr.. Vanderbilt she was
sent back to Cincinnati after this race
st. Julian went on to Hartford, where
he lowered the record to 9th. Not to
be outdone, Cap. Stone secured Mr.
Vanderbilt's consent, and Maud S. was
sent to Chicago, where, on Sept. IS, in
the face of a gale Of wind at the finish,
she made the then unequaled record
of 2:10i. This was her last appear
ance till the Columbus meeting, few
days ago, when she showed 2:16a. And
now the word comes that at Pittsburg,
she clipped another quarter of q second
from the record, setting it at 2:102.

EXECUTIVE MANSION.

WASHINGTON, July 23--S p, IN.
Drs Agnew and Hamilton reached
the Executive Mansion at 1855 D. m.,
and are now in consultation with the
attending surgeons in the latter's room.
1t has not been decided whether an
other examination of the patient shall
be made This evening; he is resting
quietly, and in view of his improved
condition it may be thought best not
to disturb him at present by allowing
Drs. Hamilton and Agnew to see him.
New YORK, July ga special from
Washington, this afternoon, says: It is
thought granulation has begun at a
point where it has left a quantity of
pus behind it, and that an abscess is
forming between that point and the
bullet. DR.. Reybum says the bullet is
the present irritating cause. A
member Of the cabinet who had made
arrangements to leave tomorrow, has
consulted with the presidents physi,
clans, and they have advised him not
to do so, but await change in the
presidents unexpected and very un-
favorable condition.
The Star, of Washington, in an extra
says The presidents fever, last night,
was very sharp. He subsequently
prespired very freely, and it partly
went off this way, but this morning it
took the shape of chill. The chill
lasted for about fifteen minutes. and
the president shook with it very much.
At one time the pulse reached 13O; a
most unsatisfactory sign. but it dropped
back right away, however. The chill
set in about 8 o'clock, and it was lit
tie after o'clock before the reaction
took place. After it the patient rested
pretty comfortably. The doctors do
not assign any exact reason for the pres
ident's unsatisfactory condition to-day.
They say it is probably caused by
failure Of the wound to discharge free
ly. When it was dressed this morn
Ing, the wound did not give forth nearly
so much matter as during the past few
days; by pressing his body, little was
forced out; it is possible, the doctors
think, that q new formation is being
made near the bullet. The method Of
dressing the wound was changed lit
tie this morning A dressing that will
keep the wound more open was applied
WASHINGTON, July 23.-At 11:3O
O'Clock tonight the presidents pulse
had fallen to 100. At midnight he was
resting quietly, though no addition
morphine had been administered. To-
night the flow of pus from the wound
became free again, and better symp-
toms followed, which sustains the theo-
ry that the stoppage Of the drainage
Of the wound, causes all the trouble.
NEw YORK, July 23.-Vice President
Arthur, who had intended being out of
town, tomorrow, decided to remain at
home when he heard of the change in
