Lemp, one of the most prominent brewers in

BUSINESS TROUBLES.
The st. Adams Bank and the Southeastern
Railroad Affairs.

ST. ALBANs, Vt, Aug. 9.-Bradley Barlow
has returned from New York, but refuses to
give any information concerning the re-
ported sale of the Southeastern railroad. He
says, however, that satisfactory arrangements
are likely to be made soon. Comptroller
Knox, of Washington, is examining the af
fairs of the bank. There is a more hopeful
feeling. A meeting of directors of the South
eastern road will be called, and if Barlow is
unsuccessful, decisive steps will be taken, as
the creditors are already pressing claims. A
claim for nearly 50, 900 has already been en-
tered against the Southeastern by a Montreal
party on a protested note. Considerable
feeling exists against Brainard and the Di-
rectors' Trust Company for their seeming
lack of knowledge of the company's affairs.
One director acknowledges that he knew
nothing about their business. Public feeling
is that the funds have been handled in care
less manner, to say the least.
A Montreal telegram says Three months
ago Barlow was offered 50, $50, 900 for the
road but refused it. He wanted 81, 900 600.
McMullin, Of this city, has entered action
against the Southeastern Railroad Company
for the recovery of draft of 81, sos. 70 on the
company which was allowed to go to protest.
Governor Hendee has completed his exam
ination of the Vermont National Bank and

The bank holds about 100000 in assets, in
cash and notes, which will soon be available,
and it is believed the remaining Indebtedness
will be liquidated from other assets and col
lateral through negotiations now in pro-
gress. The Comptroller mas appointed George
W. Hendee. of Morrisville. receiver of tine
suspended bank. Comptroller Knox's state
ment is not satisfactory. Hundreds of peo-
pie are in town waiting for sign, and are
now disposed to find much fault with Presi-
dent Bralnard and the directors because
hardly word has been vouchsafed deposit

are now inspecting the Southeastern railroad,

The Io,iisvilIe Exposition.

LOUISVILLE, Aug. 9.-The art gallery at the
exposition was opened to the public to-day,
and the result was a very largely increased
attendance. The pictures displayed represent
more than 81, 100000 in value, and comprise
the largest and most costly art-loan collec-
ton ever shown in the United States. The
exposition is daily growing in Importance
and completeness. Persons desiring to visit
Louisville may depend already upon seeing
such display as has never before been made
in the United States, apart from the Centen-
NAL, and yet, in a sense of fairness it INST
be said that all is not yet in readiness, but
ten days will find verything perfected.

IRON AND STEEL WORKERS.
The Business of the AmaIgamated Associa-
tion To Be Kept from the Papers.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 9-At the session of
the Amalgamated Iron and Steel Workers
convention this morning the business trans
acted was entirely OF a routine character.
Some resolutions were acted upon in relation
to a change of the laws governing the associa-
ton, and sum of money was voted toward
maintaining the strike at the City Iron
works in Armstrong county, Pa. A resolu-
ton was also concurred in enjoining dele
gates to observe the strictest secrecy toward
members of the press in regard to the pro-
ceedings of the convention 1t was an
nounced that the bulk of the business would
probably protract the convention two weeks,
or longer.
The afternoons session was occupied large
ly by the reading of Secretary Martins re-
port of the work and statistics of the organ
ization in the past year. The membership is
placed at $4,000 The report OF. the treasurer
on the finances of the association was also
read. 1t showed heavy drains on the funds
for strike benefits, and the association is
still largely indebted on account OF unpaid
claims. In this state of affairs, and in view
of the trouble in the Bessemer steel works
at Bethlehem, it is urged that the officers of
the national lodge be empowered to levy
an assessment on or about Sept, 1. The as
ISOLATION is now drawing largely on its sur
plus for current expenditures, and the pros
poets that before the week is out at least
500, 900 will be drawn from this fund, makes
it necessary to adopt some financial meas
ures to meet existing pressing demands.
President Jarrett authorized the most
stringent measures to keep information
from the press. One of the first district dele
gates from the western end of Pennsylvania
was suspended from the convention for
divulgig portions of the proceedings to the
newspapers.

Strike in the Coke Region.

P1rrsBCRe, Aug. o. An extended strike in
the Connellsville coke regions is not improb-
able. The Knights of Labor have lately been
organizing the miners in that district, and
the operators have combined to oppose them.
On last Monday several who were known to
be Knights of Labor were discharged from
Morewood & McClure's works, and the bal
ance refused to work unless those dismissed
were reinstated. This the operators refused
to do and the works are now idle. 1t is said
the same action will be taken at ali other
large mines

far, at least, insignificant and harmless
