Dealings OF u Dishonest Broker

Tho specifications against w. J. Hutch
inson, the broker who was expelled from
the New York stock board, show how
easily dishonest broker may cheat a COLI
fiding customer. Among them arc the
following: On November 20, 1890. he
caused to be made transfer Of $4,000
shares of Western Union telegraph COM
pany stock from tho account of Daft to
tho account of his firm. He paid only 100
for the stock, whereas the lowest price of
the stock on that day in tho stock ex-
change was 1O2 and highest 104S. On
January 8, 1881, Hutchinson sold for Duff
1900 shares of the stock of the Western
Union telegraph company at SOa to 81.
He then bought for his firm Immediately
3, 400 shares of SAID stock at from 8O5 to
set. He then bought largely for Duff at
from S44 to 854 that at the close of bust
ness on that day he transferred from the
account of Duff to the account of his firm
3, 400 shares of said stock at S3!, whereas
all the purchases made by tho firm for
Duff during the day, with the exception
of 200 shares, had been at a higher price
than S344 that he then again transferred
these 8, 400 shares, together with Others,
amounting in all to $500 shares, to two
other customers of the firm at prices rang
ing from "a J to S54. There arc IL num-
ber OF other similar transactions.

Bible Reading and HopinE-Dreams OF F:l.
ture Prosperity as - Lawyer.
Guitsau has again changed somewhat in
personal appearance, having had his whis.
kers, which had been growing about fOul
weeks, shaved off, leaving his face bare
with the exception OF his upper lip, on
which l:o wears L lnustache. He appears
10 be in q better humor than he was some
day aro, when it is supposed he took a
dis!,l" % 4 guard being posted at his cell
dor CO.. .inually, and was also troubled at
Iii: disposition of his case. His sleep is
somewhat disturbed at night. Whenever
the guards pass around with the light he
turns in his couch or rises.
4 few mornings ago he stated to one OF
the officers that he had dream to which
he was inclined to attach some Importance
In the dream ton years had rassed and he
was in full practice in Chicago as lawyer,
with a desk full of briefs. He now Icvotes
almost all his time to reading of the Bible
and one Of Mcodys books, "The Way to
Heaven" and does not seem to desire any
others. lie was not allowed to see any
one, but during the day some one passed
in to him by an officer a number of tracts,
which he laid unopened on his table and
resumed the reading of his Bible.
Later a member of the Free Methodist
church sent to him, through Genera!
CrOcker, a book entitled God, Man and
the Devil" Guitcau, looking at the title
and his name written at the top of the
cover by the donor, tore that portion off,
aud handed the book back, and then
turned again to his Bible. He still has
hope. In the afternoon he was informed
of the action Of the court in general term
on the subject of rehearing, aud he said
TO General Crocker: "Crocker, we'll, |
didn't expect anything else; but | have
not lost hope, for this was only prelimi-
nary to something else.''

OHIO REPUBLICAN,.
Nomination of u state Ticker-The LIgu,
Question Lightly Touched.

Nomination of Il tate Ticker-The Liquor
question Lightly Touched.
The Republican state convention met in
Cincinnati on Wednesday, the attendance
being unusually large.
Senator u. A. Hollingsworth was made
temporary chairman. In long speech he
reviewed the record of tho Republican
party, national and state. Regarding the
liquor traffic, he thought an amendment
to the constitution should be submitted to
the general assembly and tho question
made final with the people. He considered
it wise to stand by the action Of tho gen.
eral assembly regarding the Sunday law,
as opposed to the record of free whisky
and no Sunday.
The usual committees were then ap.
pointed, Senator Pond, author of the
Pond law, being made a member Of the
committee on resolutions, and the con-
vcntion took a recess.
When the convention reassembled the
following nominations were made, the
first two by reclamation: Secretary of
State-Hon. Charles Townsend (the
present incumbcnt) Judge of the Su-
preme CouTt-John Ii. Doyle, of Toledo !;
Member of the Board of Public Works
c. A. Flickenger, of Defiance.
The committee Oh resolutions was out
till 4 o'clock trying to agree upon plat
form, when unanimous report was made
and adopted. Tho resolutions deplore the
death of Garfield and tender to President
Arthur assurance of confidence in his
administration and approval of the mol
crate and patriotic course pursued by
him amid tho embarrassing circum-
stances unavo:daIy attending such a
nationa! crisis. They also indorsc

bear its share of public burdens through
regulation by Congress recite the meas
ures placed on the statute books by the
Republican party concerning the war, re-
construction, the public debt, ETC., and
promise to continue tho party's warfare
upon dishonesty and fraud at the ballot
box, until a free ballot and fair count is
firmly secured to every locality and to
every citizen.
The convention then adjourned sine

The Oregon Legislature Close.

A Portland (Oregon) dispatch says:
Returns from the election up to noon to
day show that the Legislature stands as
follows: or the Senate, which consists OF
thirty members. the Republicans have, in
Guiding Hold-overs," fifteen, and the
Democrats fourteen members, one being
doubtful with the probabilities in favor Of
the Republicans. In the House, which
consists of sixty members, the Republicans
have thirty and the Democrats twenty
four members; doubtful, six, of whom two
are probably Republicans. Granting to
the Democrats every doubtful district, the
Legislature will be a tie on joint ballot.
The Republicans, however, claim the
Legislature by at least four on . joint ballot
The Democrats arc inclined to concede
that it will be tie.

The MayOr'S Message.

The advantage of having clear
sighted and positive chief magistrate
Of the city is manifest in the fact that
Mayor MacGonigle's annual messages
give the people a very lucid idea of the
condition and the necessities of our mu
nicipality. The communication sent
to councils last evening, and which We
lay before Our readers TO day in full, is
clearly such a document rs is cOntem-
plated by the city charter, which pre-
scribes that at the June meeting of
councils the mayor shall address that
body upon the condition of the city in
relation to its government, finances and
improvements, and recommend the
adoption of such measures as the bust
ness and interests of the city seem to
require"
n net decrease IN the city debt for the
gear IsS1-Ss Of S1I,s0o, Notwithstanding
some $4,000 expended upon permanent
water works improvements, for new
boilers: is most gratifying exhibit, and
contrasts satisfactorily with the old re
gime under which there was not only /.
steady increase of the bonded debt every
year, but untold amounts of floating in
debtedness always lurking in the back
ground. The imperfect registry of
bonds has caused some confusion, though
no loss nor fraud is suspected from
this defect. The inadequacy and
inequality of the assessments is a
very proper subject for animadver-
sion. 1t is the fault of the assessors and
of the people who elect and re-elect Off
cials who do not do their duty. honestly
or intelligently. They favor those upon
whose votes they depend for election.
One assessment is made for county,
scho"! and city purposes, and when the
rural property is not taxed to its full
value manifestly city property should
not be. But this inatlequacy leads to
inequality, and it is this which gives
rise to most complaint. If all property
were taxed at exactly its full value, or
three-fOurths or half, the burden would
be equitably divided, but it has been
often shown that no standard valuation
is evenly applied, and it is because some
peoples property is taxed at its full
value and others far below it that the
assessors are rightly blamed for neglect
or mal-administration, and after seven
years the totals show depreciation of
81 200 600 in the valuation of the real
estate of the city, though, as the mayor
says, in this time we have added hun
dreds upon hundreds of fine residences,
about seventy substantial and costly
tobacco warehouses, factories, machine
shops and othhr valuable structures
the value of which more than offsets all
the local depreciation in real estate since
1875.
The citizens arc to be congratulated

company has Put watchmen ut the long

INCONsTANT MISS KELLY.
A Wedding that hid not Take Place Al
though Q Ban0 had Baen Hired.

Miss Mary Ann Kelly. of Constable
Hook, n. j., was to have been married OF
Monday last to Joseph Skales, tall, good
looking young book keeper. OF the tOwr
Of Dover, at 2 p. H., in the Catholic churcl
of St. Mary's parish. in Centerville, BY
the Rev. Thomas NJ. killeen. Miss Kelly
is about % years old. and she formed ths
acquaintance of Mr.. Skales in Dover, where
her parents lived until year ago, wher
they moved their affects to Constable
Hook and started the largest boarding
house in the hamlet. A few months age
Mr.. Skales proposed marriage and he was
accepted. All preparations had beer
made for the wedding. NJ. Skales OF
Saturday last hired the Dover brass band
to meet himself and his bride
at the depot of Dover on Mon
day and all of his friends de-
clared that they would form 4 procession
behind the band and escort the bride and
bridegroom to their new home. Mr.
Skales is the son of an old and wealthy
farmer near Dover. After he had hired
the Dover brass band, and had paid them
literally, he went with his brother and
sister to Constable Hook, and they We're
cordially received at the house of the
intended bride. Sunday was passed in
pleasant conversation. On Monday Mr..
Scales went to Father killeen's residence
to make arrangements for being married
in the afternoon. He was informed that
in accordance with the practice of the
Catholic church, the banns would have to
be published from the pulpit on two SUM-
days. The expecGant bridegroom said he
was anxious to get back to his business in
Dover, and inquired anxiously whether
the rule could not be overlooked in his
case. Father killeen advised him to see
Bishop Wigger, in Newark, and apply for
4 dispcnsatiOn allowing tho marriage to be
ccnsummated without the crying of the
banns. So Mr.. Skales went TO Newark
and obtained the bishops consent.
When Mr.. Skales returned to Constable
Hook he was met by the weeping parents
Of his bctrOthed, who told him that Mary
Ann had run away, and she had sent them
her engagement ring. One OF the former
boarders in Mr.. KelIy's house was Mark
Fleming, owner of two drinking saloons
in Constable Hook. While Mr.. Skalcs
was in Newark Mary Ann and Mr.. Elem
Ing had met. it is said, in Mr.. Wran's
house, and by appointment, where
Miss Kelly threw her ell gagement
ring on the floor and declared
that she would take Mark for better
or for worse. In the company of young
man who is said to be Daniel Mulvay, Il
friend OF Fleming, Miss Kelly crossed the
ferry to Staten island and went to New
York, where she met Fleming, who had
come to the city by railroad. On Tuesday
they saw Father Kilieen and said that
they wanted to be married, but Father
killcen refused to unite them until they
should write to Mr.. Skales if he was will
inc to give up Mary Ann. A letter was
sent. Meanwhile Mr.. Fleming and Miss
Kelly arc absent from Constable Hook.

the substance Of which was that misap
prehensi0n existed in the minds of many
persons as to the liberty of action author
| lied by the association in the treatment of
disease that rational medicine demands
absolute freedom in. selecting aud admlnis-
terinS medicine, and there is nothing in
the code Of tho American medical as
sociation prohibiting tho use of any
known and Lonorablr means of com
batting disease; that it welcomes every
new discovery in Tho healing science :;
that it therefore rejects the term
allopaths rs an untrue designation,
and concluded with sly slap at homH-
opathy rs unscientific in principle and
dangerous in practice. This was referred
to the judicial council. DR.. J. A. Deter

from the New York state medical society,
having carefully examined the code of

tary of said society, we find in said revised

of this association, decide unanimously
that said New York state medical society
