Tho OutIook for the Planters.

The most reliable authorities estimate
the cotton crop Of this year at more than
a million bales less than that Of last year.
In this state there VIII not be two-thirds

ties there will not DE half a crop.

pIanters has been to get out Of

making new debts this year they will
have reason 70 be happy. Once out 81

that the time is near al hand when the
planters will be more Independent. 1t IS

How Her Executor Lost One Hundred
Thousand Dollars.

How Her Executor Lost One Hundred
Thousand Dollars.
BHFalo Special 20 yetc York Ti1aes, Sept. p.
An application was made before SurrO-
gate Ferris, OF this county. this morning,
for the appointment of a temporary exec
utOr of the estate of Caroline c. Fillmore,
Telict OF the late President Fillmore. The
present executor is Mr.. George Gorham,
of this city, reputable lawyer, who was
Mrs. Flllmore's trusted legal adviser. The
ground Of the application is peculiar. Mr..
GOrham had charge of about 100000
worth Of securities belonging to Mrs. Fill
more. There being at the time no trust
company, he kept the securities in the
vault of the Erie County Savings Bank.
About April 80, 1881, Mr. Gorham went TO
the bank and asked for the securities. he
was admitted to the Presidents room and
the securities were given him. He sat
down at table, took the securities from
the box in which they were kept, and cut
from some OF them coupons. His atten-
ti0n then being called. TO something else,
ne quilted the bank, leaving the securi-
ties lying on the table where he had been
sitting. The bank officials did not notice
them. and he did not Immediately recall
what he had done.
The matter was not again thought Of.
About two months later the President OF
the bank received a letter from lawyer
IN Baltimore stating that under certain
conditions he could restore about 100000
worth Of securities stolen from the Erie
County Bank some time before. This was
the first intimation that any one in Buff
falO had that the securities were gone.
Search was Immediately made, but, OF
course, there was no trace. Mr.. Gorh2m
was notified, and was thunderstruck al
what had happened. What steps were
taken TO recover the securities are not
publicly known. The first offer was to
return them for 80 per cent. Of their face
value. The heirs of Mrs. Fillmore now
claim as the basis of their application for
a new executor that the securities were
lost by the carelessness and negligence Of
Mr.. GOrham, and they allege that he re-
covered them by paying $4,000 out of the
estate without the consent of the widow.
How the application would have been
decided had it been solely on the merits is
not known, for the case Is rather compli-
Gated. When Mrs. FillmOre's will was
to probate soon after her death,
the existence of the present heirs and
applicants was unknown. They appear
now chiefly to contest the will. The
Surrogate therefore decided that they are
only contestants and not legatees, and
have no right to make such application.
1t was consequently denied. The contest
OF the will Is now pending.

England's Great Penal Colony.


The Governor of New Caledonia is
aghast at the proposal to FIJI that settle
ment with habltual criminals. To pro-
mote free colonization, he proposes to
offer a free passage, free living for six
months after arrival, and many other
tempting offers to all good immigrants.
But to colonize New Caledonia is only
possible under the one condition, that it
is not at the same time peopled with
criminals. To let lOeso some thousands
of habitual criminals incapable of earn
ing a livelihood among the colOnists,
would be a continual source of trouble, if
not of danger, to the colony. The pro-
ject, it is declared in New Caledonia, will
bring any colony to sure and speedy ruin,
and 1t is therefore to be hoped that the
Senate will not let a measure pass which
threatens the future of French colonies in
general and that of New Caledonia in
particular. England also has reasons of
her own for hoping that the Recidivist bill
will be rejected. otherwise all the trOu-
bles that have as yet arisen between Eng
land and France will be as nothing to
that which will arise between the rulers
responsible for the government of Austria
liza and the government which turns the
refuse of its ialls loose upon the Anti
nodes

during prayer tim Thee. preacher
Thought 1t was a case Of spiritual anxiety,
and put on more religious feryor, which
had a magnetic effect on the prayerful
wOrshipers and caused them TO do Ike
wise. This stimulated the matronly
woman 10 renewed exertiOns and increas-
ed noise. Presently she declared that she
was not praying, but that she was mad
about her daughter. 4 young man had
been paving attentions TO her daughter,
and the mother had told the girl 70 nave
nothing to do with him. In order TO make
sure of this, the old lady had held the girl
BIZ the arm while engaged in prayer.
Very silently and slyly the young man
came and knelt by the girl. The old lady
who was deyoutly praying, did not see
him. nor did she see the other man VINO
knelt with him. MOI did she at first know
that the whispered words which fell from
the lips Of the three constituted the mar
rage service. 1t was when she found out
that her daughter had thus been married
on the sly that she began to scream. f'r
a while she was uncomfortable. But al
last she yielded to wise counsel, and de-
cided TO make the best Of what she con-
sidered a bad bargain. The brethren
present thought the wedding one OF the
most extraordinary ever known in camp
meeting history.

The Wallace Case.

The Wallace case * matter Of general
interest in this community. The state
ment in our local columns yesterday that
the Governor had granted Wallace tenn
porarv repriere was a mistake. The tele-
gram on which the statement was based
was misleading and was misun-
derstoOd. Unless the jury. which
meets al the Jail this morning to in
quire into Wallace's mental condition,
reports that he i insane. he viii suffer
the death penalty tomorrow. Whether
or not he j. insane is a question for the
Jury. He mas be shamming. If ne IS the
physicians ON the jury Will no doubt
reach the truth. Opinions about his
mental condition amount to nothing in
the absence Of data on which 10 base
an opinion. II the man is crazy
the law SAYS he shall not be
hung. and be Will not be. II he Is not
crazy there is no reason why the sentence
shouldn't be carried out. \ cOrrespOn-
dent who signs himself Lawyer" and
whose communication appears in this
issue Of the paper. saws Wallace can't De
LEGALLY executed tomorrow. because the
day liked by the court for the execution
has passed. and another day must be set
by the court. Lawyer cites section 4sjo
o. the Code. and the case Of GOgswell Va.
Tho state ID support u HE opinion.
Neither the section u the code, nor the
authority cited has any ap-
plication % the Wallace case.
