The Failures,

HUNTINGDON, Sept. ,2S.-The car
and wheel works, Blaine Bros, pro-
prietors, failed with Judgment en-
tered last evening, by the Union
bank, for $500 Other claims will
increase the liabilities $4,000; assets
are estimated at $1OO, 900. -Four hun
dred employees have not been paid for
two months. Efforts will be made to
tide over the embarrassment, so work
can be resumed Monday A large
number of orders are held by mer-
chants here who, with the entire
community, feel the effects of the
failure.
The business failures of the week
as reported by R. G.. Dun & Co., of
the mercantile agency, numbers $50,
as compared with 1873 last week, the
feature being a very important disas-
ter in the New York clothing trade.

A Millionaire Arrested

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-Frank r. Sher-
win, a millionaire, landowner of one
of one of the largest cattle ranches in
New Mexico, was arrested here Thurs
day on a requisition from New York
but the arrest was kept secret till to-
day, when he came before the circuit
court on writ of habeas corpus, al
leging that he was detained without
authority of law for a supposed Grim
inal matter, the nature of which he
did not know, and which the police
authorities refused to inform him.
On this he was released, but was rear
rested by Pinkerton. He again ap-
piled for a writ of habeas corpus,
which is still pending. The facts, as
nearly as can be learned here, seems
to be as follows: In 1873, Sherwin,
when banker in Albany, refused TO
testify against Charles Phelps, a cash
Ter IN the state treasury department.
Phelps was afterward convicted of
larceny, forgery and grand larceny,
and sentenced to three terms of five
years each IN the Albany penitentiary.
For refusal to testify, six indictments
were subsequently found against
Sherwin for contempt of court.
The prosecution failed at the time, and
Sherwin entered the stock business in
New Mexico. New evidence was dis
covered, and in 1882, when on a visit
IN the East he was rearrested and gave
bonds. Since then his bondsmen have
become alarmed and put detectives
on his track When arrested he was
on his way East with his family trav-
cling in princely style, not suspecting
that he was wanted.

The Hangman'S Duties.

CHATHAM, Va, Sept. 2S.-Tawney
Younger, Reuben King and Isaac
Evans, young negroes, were hung
here to-day for the murder of VIM. f.
Sheppard last month. The execution
was private, only about fifteen per-
sons having witnessed it. The drop
fell at 1920. Younger's neck was
broken, but the other two died from
strangulation. All three protested
their innocence to the last. Qnite a
large crowd gathered in the vicinity
of the place of the execution, but
there was no disorder Sheppard had
driven load of vegetables to market
and was on his way home, when the
negroes waylaid and shot him.
They had Swallowed him in
Danville, and knowing that he
carried money obtained from his
goods had hoped to secure it. At the
first shot Cain became frightened and
ran, thus preventing them from get
ting booty. They continued to fire as
Cain started, one of the bullets pierre

The Emperor on the Rhine.

RUEDEsHETI, Sept. 26.-Villages and
castles along the river Rhine were
illuminated last evening, and bon
fires and blue ligths burned on all the
heights. Twenty steamers profusely
decorated with flags were anchored in
the river Rhine, in front of this and
contiguous towns and villages, and
the streets are thronged with strang-
ers. Clubs are continually arriving
with banners and music, and immense
crowds are proceeding to Nederwald.
Emperor William and Prince Fred
erick William arrived at noon and
were received with enthusiasm.
All the German sovereigns and
princes assembled before the monu-
ment, and the ceremonies were begun
in the presence of vast multitude,
and proceeded in accordance with
the programme heretofore published.
Statutes from batteries here and from
guns on surrounding hills are being
fired, announcing the unwilling of
the statue. Church bells are ringing,
steam whistles sounding, and the
whole vast assemblage are singing a
national hymn.

John c. Gault Promoted.

CHICAGO, Sept 29.-The appoint
ment Of Mr.. John @. Gault, late vice
president of the Wabash, and former
ly gen. supt. of the c., NJ. & st. P,
as commissioner of the new Califor-
MIA pool, gives general satisfaction in
railroad circles here Mr.. Gault says
he will accept, provided he will not
have to move headquarters to San
Francisco, members of his family OBJ
jecting to that city on account of the
climate. He prefers to make head
quarters in this city, believing it the
most central point from which to di-
rect the pool, which comprises all the
Pacific lines, including the Sunset
route from New Orleans and the
Northern Pacific from st. Paul. It is
probable that the managers of the
roads in the pool will consent to the
location of the commissioners head
quarters in this city.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 29.-The rail.
road managers met to-day to consider
the conditional reply of Mr. Gault in
accepting the commissionership of the
railroad pool. No definite action was
taken but it is believed they will con
firm Mr. Gault for the position with
permission to make Chicago his head
quarters.

New YORK, Sept. 2S.-Jacob Scha-
fer champion billiardist, arrived from
Chicago, tonight. In regard to the
controversy with Slosson, he says he
will not forfeit his game with Wig
naux. He is under bonds in the
amount of $1,000, to play a game in
Paris. He claims Slosson did not
challenge him for the balk-
line emblem, and therefore
his challenge amounts to nothing.
Schaefer announces his readiness to
play Slosson for the championship at
the balk line game, according to the
rules, or for $4,000 a side, on his return
from Paris. He admits that he Will
have to play Slosson or forfeit the en-
blem if properly challenged.
