Letter From the West.


EdiiOr Of he -Egis:
DEAR SIR: | have been taking Il Iun around
over the north west country to this great city of
Chicago, through pittsburg, Cleveland, Detroit,
and am now about to start for st. Louis. My
plan was to form some idea of our future canned
goods market, and have found all the buyers very
sick of buying future canned goods This market
of Chicago is certainly II great place for canned
goods, but like others, dealers have opened their
eyes and are going to buy carefully fora while,
until the market settles down. Besides, they are
not going to take ythng, but will want goods put
in good shape, and these, think can be sold at Il
reasonable price. But | have seen to-day llar-
ford county canned goods, sold here, of last yea
pack, at very lew figures think our people had
better sold them, when packed, at fair price.
This is II great city. They claim to have 100000
people. Streets are very broad and level, and
Lake Michigan is II beautiful sheet of water. As
far rs the beauty of the place goes, it cannot com
pare with Detroit.
/ don't expect to 20 any further West than st.
Louis and will then stop ut some of the larger
cities hOmeward, Will take Il look at Louisville
Exposition. hope your delegates to be elected
Tomorrow will succeed in nominating a good
man for Governor, if Mr.. Henry W. Archer de-
Clncs nomination. G.. A. X.

old to select from. All the Patterns are new,
novel and pleasing, and for Cut, Fit and Finish

time to window exhibitions and chrome disrlbu

A Millionaire Drowned.

SARATOGA, June 25.-John H. Stryker, a
New York millionaire, was drowned in Sara
toga lake to-day. Stryker and Edward Viii
liers, with servant of the former, rowed
out in a skiff from Leslie cottage at Inter
laken. Stryker went in the water, Villiers
following. As the latter came up he So "
Stryker, good swimmer, by the boat, say
ing: Don't let me drown, Jake; throw me
an oar" He again went down, came up
and cried: "Oh, Jake, don't let me
drown" Villiers swan to his aid, first
thinking Stryker was joking with his SER
want The colored man then threw an oar,
and Villiers passed it to Stryker, who did
not grasp it. Villiers sustained Stryker till
exhausted, and then forced him to let go to
save himself. Villiers was saved by Henry
and George Rogers rowing from the shore
after hearing the servants cries. Stryker's
age was twenty-four. He was married on
April IA, 1888 to Cora A. Henderson, of Pu-
eblo, Col. He is reported to be very wealthy,
and the hacker of Henry S. Truax in the
purchase of Frank Leslie's Interlaken es-
tate. The body was recovered this evening,
and will be sent to New York.

ASSISTED IMMIGRATION.
Considering Measures to Prevent Great
Britains Paupers from Coming.

New YORK, June 25-The Emigration Com
measures to prevent pauper emigration from
Great Britain. This action was called for in
view of the large arrivals of pauper emigrants
yesterday. Commissioner Stephenson said
he had procured affidavits from several i'm
migrants showing that they have been in
mates of several poor-houses in Ireland, and
were induced to come to this country by
work-house masters, from whom they had
received passage tickets and small sums OF
money. The Commissioner considered the
landing of paupers largely due to the laxity
of the management of Castle Garden, and re-
commended that inspectors be appointed
who would not be afraid to do their duty.
After further discussion it was resolved
to instruct the secretary of the board to de-
tain all emigrants proved to be sent here by
funds furnished by the British government,
and to appoint committee of the board to
wait on the collector of the port and present
the affidavits taken in regard to such cases,
and ask that the steamship companies which
brought such emigrants here be compelled to
return them to the port whence they came
at their own expense
While the meeting was in progress the
commissioners were informed that the steam
er Anchoria had just arrived, with immi-
grants whose passages were paid by the Brit
ish government and who were paupers. 1t
was resolved not to allow the Anchoria' s
passengers to land until the inspector had
made a thorough investigation. The COM
missioners express themselves determined to
put stop to the landing of pauper immi-
grants from foreign countries.

Company $4,000 to withdraw their
bid or offer shutter that would be con-
demned. Witness at once replied that it
would be entering into a conspiracy against
the government, and the Manly & Cooper
Company could not for an instant entertain
it. Upon cross-examination, the witness
said I'VE were willing to sublet, but under
no circumstances would we withdraw our
bid. Damon assured us they could do the
work to Hills satisfaction, but we could not
under any circumstances, and we began to
think such was the case and were willing 10
sublet."
Edward B. Allison, counsel for Manly,
Cooper & Co., fully corroborated the above
testimony.
Mr. Hill was then recalled and testified
that Damon had furnished vaults and safes
for the government, both under contracts
and upon orders, In fact, most of this work
had been done by Damon for years. 1t was
let out generally by yearly contract, ard Da-
mon had for years been the lowest bidder
under the advertisement. He was the sole
party interested in this work. He was also a
member of the United States Company.
Mr.. Coleman-This United States company
appears to be in New York, and you say Da-
mon does their work in Boston.
Now is there any such company
as the United States Fire-proof
Shutter Company doing business anywhere,
or manufacturing anywhere on their own
account? Answer understood they con-
trolled facilities for making shutters.
Q,-Do you consider you have a good
bond when you have the signature of one
member of firm as surety? A.-As mat
ter of fact, don't look at the bonds myself.
l crust to one of my clerks.
Q.-Do you mean to say you bind the gov
ernment to a contract without personally
knowing anything in regard to the character
of the bonds? A.-Why, bless you, yes. If
| examined all the bonds 1 should have time
for nothing else.
Hill said he did not know whether the bond
was good or not; did not remember
who signed it, probably he had an idea at
the time as to the responsibility of the par
ties.
BY the committee-Do you not require the
articles of Incorporation as evidence of the
genuineness of a company? Answer-The ac-
counting officer of the Treasury does. think
we have them in this case in our files.
Coleman-We would like to see them.
After half hours delay the file clerk of
the architects Office reported that there was
nothing of the kind on file, but the articles
of incorp grafton were doubtless in the Sec
ond com ptroller's office. Chairman New gave
instructions to have search made for them
and the committee adjourned.
