Failures at Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Aug 29.-William H.
Lloyd & Co., bankers and brokers, failed this
morning, with liabilities on the street to the
extent Of about $4,000. The heaviest suffer-
ers are country depositors, with whom the

business. These country losses are indepen-
dent OF the liabilities given, aed their extent
cannot be obtained. The firm is said to be
short of Pennsylvania and Northern Pacific,
and long on Reading and Buffalo, and this is
given as the cause Of failure. Five thousand
shares of indiscriminate stocks were sold in
the board this morning to settle the firms ac-
counts. The representatives of the fallen
house decline at present to say anything.

Immense Yield OF Corn in Kansas.

KANSAS Cry, Aug 29.-Late reports from
points throughout Kansas indicate a fine corn
yield for the State, notwithstanding sectional
reports OF dry weather. In Western Kansas
the corn has been seriously damaged by
drought, but the yield of the State comes from
the great corn belt extending from Central
Kansas eastward, and there the crop is in fine
condition, being boy ond reach of drought, and
none will be lost except some of the early
planting, which proportion is comparatively
unimportant, In this section, also, recens
showers have gradually aided the advance

GWaterville MALL
We verify thought, as we listened to Hon.
T. B. Reed on Wednesday evening, that he
was making speech of rare merit; and as he
proceeded from point to point, carefully and
candidly touching every question upon which
an occasional chatting or doubling Republican
might be found; and forgetting none upon
which Democrats and Republicans radically
clash-going over the whole ground candidly
and quietly, and with just care not to wound
with anything sharper than simple truth
kindly uttered,-we still thought, as we verify
think now, it was among the best campaign
speeches we ever heard. III there was lack OF
applause it was because the thoughts of the
audience were better employed. There surely
was the most close attention to every word, in
all parts of the audience. This is the kind of
talk we want, rather than sharp hits and hur-
rahs.
Mr.. Reed was introduced by Hon. e. f.
Webb, who "without intending to make .
Speech" made very pointed and just reference
to the removal of Judge Libbey from the
bench of the Supreme Court.
