Great excitement was caused in the CONNER
cial world on the 18th inst, by the announce
mert that Peter McGeoch, ore of the heaviest
of Chicago speculaters, had failed. McGeoch
had, since February last, been engineering an
immense corner in lard and provisions on the
Chicago board Of trade, and had forced the
plice of the former commodity up to fictitious
figure. The supply, however, seems TO have
been larger than the great operator had an
ticipated, and, after exhaustng his resources,
McGeoch was obliged to stop buying This,
when it was known, caused an immediate drop
in values, and July lard, which had been
bought by the corner at $11.1715 the day be-
fore, dropped as low as 1905, causing loss to
the principal manipulation of the corner of
something like $2,000,000. The following is a
list of the known creditors of McGeoch as we'll
as can be learned, with the amount of his in
debtedness to each, where it is stated: Failed:
J. NJ. Ball & Co., 1854, 800; Ellis & Lightner, NJ
B. Crafts, TABOR & Wilson, William Martin &
Co., amount not stated Holley & Allen, $50
900. Simply creditors: Albert Seckels, ST.
$50. so; Charles Schwartz, $4,000; Charles B.
Van Kirk, $1.093.75: William P. Harvey &
Co.. 5000; George G. Bril-. 50, 900; Edward
S. Warren, $4,000. Fowler Brothers also had
McGeoch stock, mostly pork, which they sold
out for $4,000 probably losing $4,000. J.
r. Bensley had some of McGeoch's stock also.

THE DISASTER RECORD.

Disaster has followed disaster during
the i've months of the gresent year.
First came the Milwaukee fire, resulting
i'll the destruction of nearly a hundred
lives. Following this was the burning
of the winter circus in Russia, whereby
over $50 persons met a horrible death.
Then came the frightful foods in Cen
trail Europe, spreading destruction. The
Ohio food and its disastrous results are
still fresh ID the minds of ALL Billiards
and tOrnadoes have been more numerous
than ever before known in this country.
From the first of January to February
9TH the victims Of these furious forces
numbered about seventy killed and 200
injured; and the less of life IN the fol-
lowing three months was far greater,
and the destruction of property enor-
nous. Over 100 persons have been
killed Ia railroad disasters III the United
States. The victims Of the Braidwood
mine horror were nearly 100. Fully
$50 people have gone down at sea.
Decoration Day brought remarkable
list OF calamities, resulting in the death
of forty-one persons and the injury of
300 more. If the remaining months of
the year are to be marked by like catas-
trophies, 1888 will leave a bloody and
appalling record.

WINES AND LIQUORS.

An official return is published, of the
quantity of spirits and malt liquors en-
tered for consumption in the Dominion
of Canada, from 1868 to 1882. The
whole bill for the fifteen years, spirits,
fermented liquors, and wines of all
kinds being included, was So, 766, 308.
This sum was paid for 81, 1851, 623 impe-
rial gallons. The figures for 1882 show
that 70, 4O2, SO pounds of grain were
used in spirit-making. The province of
Quebec manufactured no spirituous
liquors, but did its part in consuming
them. Malt liquors were produced
throughout the dominion to the amount
of 12,O36,979 gallons. Quebec con-
sumed nearly one half of all the brandy
imported last year, and about two-thirds
OF the cordials and gin. Nova Scotia
took the lead in the consumption of rum,
with Quebec second. New Brunswick
drank about one third of the whisky,
and Nova Scotia and Quebec were Sec
ond and third in the consumption of
that drink. Quebec consumed more
than one-half of the wines imported,
and only one-fourth Of the malt liquors.

for instance, who energeticaliy IS raising
a glass of port to her lips, is preparing
for fight A few days ago she ordered
a toilet of an original and rather eccen-
trio pattern. While 1t has been making,
her ideas have changed; she wants some
thing else, and to throw the dress she
had ordered upon the hands of the
dressmaker. 1t will cost hard strug-
gle, but as she drains the-eecond glass
she feels equal to anything,,and goes out
with brilliant eve and heightened color
to the fray. A fashionable mamma
drinks her chocolate with evident gusto,
and has pound of bonbons put up for
her. She has just succeeded in getting
five marks taken of disputed
bill. Hence her generositysto her chill

the refreshing cup, for her nerves are ir-

times at the tailoress', still shows fright
full wrinkles about the shoulders. Her
neighbor is more cheerful. She has that
peculiar bearing by which one knows the
person who is always lucky. Her salts

She has made large purchases a. clear

GOOD NEWS, IF TRUE.

The reported discovery of gold in
Lower California Is a story such as many
people have YEARLY longed for in recent
years, for there is nothing like a new
gold field to drain large cities of the
more active portion of their bad char
acters. To get gold-money-by dig
ging it out of the ground rs almost as
much fun, if the dirt is soft, as picking
pocket or breaking open bank safe.
Then, too, there are never any police at
new gold fields. Lower California will
be just the place for bad Americans to
go to for their country's good; it is out
of the United States, it contains neither
food nor water, and persons who 60
there seldom come back again. If,
therefore. the peninsula contains gold
enough to attract the dangerous classes,
the Society for the Prevention of Crime
ought to offer free transportation to as
many persistent law breakers as may
want to 90.

FROM the GlneIe61ln century,
During the empire, between the years
1856 and 1868, there lived in Paris az
Euglishman who moved in good society,
was member OF more than
| one frst-class club, and who,
until after his death, was not known to
belong to the secret police of Paris.
Apparently he was middle-aged gen.
tleman with good private means, living
alone, and dining every day at Bignon's
or the Cafe Anglais. Yet this indiv1d-
ual was the means of bringing more
scoundrels of a certain class to Justice
than perhaps any other detective IN the
French capital. All the secret agents
of the Paris force have their special line
of bUsiness-their special beat, so to
speak, where they hunt up the particu-
lar game they are told to look after.
This Englishman had in his day been q
great gambler, and even long after he
had given up rouge ct nOir and baccarat,
loved littlee carte with not very low
points, and could hardly exist without his
rubber of whist every evening. His spec
50ltte with thepollce was to spot down men
who cheated, or were proprietors of gam
bling helIs. On one occasion, which
must be remembered, bymany members
of the French Jockey Club, he was the
means of having arrested person who
had been introduced into that club, and
who played certain tricks with money
and with checks that threw discredIt on
all the members until the affair was
cleared up. And yet this gentleman
lived more than a dozen years without
any one suspe citing his employment, and
even after his death the truth only came
out by accident. OF men employed in
the same manner as was this English
man-each man having his own beat in
the hunting ground of crime-there are
at least three or four dozen in Paris AS
a matter of course, their lives would not
be worth weeks purchase if the dan
gerous classes could identify them. It
is only by keeping their names and ap-
pearance strictly. secret that they carry
on their work, which they certainly do
in as efficient a n amer as any body of
public servants IN the world.
