Old Commodore Garrison the latest
millionaire caught up by rotten prac-
tice in fnancering on a grand scale, is
said to have been party to the gigan-
tic steal OF which, eight years ago, Jay
Gould obtained possession of the enor-
mously valuable Missouri Pacific Rail
road, by means of the foreclosure of a
third mortgage for $4,000, ,O0O,-prop-
erty in the name of which $54, ,OOO, 900
ofsecurities have since been put on the
market. One party of resistants to this
"snap" were induced to withdraw their
opposition, on the promise that they
should receive 81 900, 900 of new stock
in the new company to be organized by
Commodore Garrison, for whom the
road was to be bought, and who is
charged with having been party to the
fraud. In such operations as these and
the rumor and suspicion of them that
keeps and will keep the financial world
in suspense and solicitude until all men
like their authors have been completely
crushed by the sure grinding of "the
mills of the gods" and thrown out of
business, and their places supplied by
the men they laugh at as too simple and
honest for this world.

Killed by a Hog.
From the Philadelphia Times.


Henry Ward who lived at the corner
of Moyamensing and Snyder avenues,
met his death in horrible form recent
ly. For some months past he had had
in his possession large hog, which
was, during the day time, allowed to
run in the back yard During the night
it was kept in pen in the northeastern
corner of the yard. Some days ago the
hog developed an ugly disposition, and
protested by vicious grunts its aversion
to confinement. Several times it
turned on its owner while being driven
to its pen, and had to be subdued with
a club. Yesterday the animal became
unusually vicious and attacked every
one who came near. A dog that was
set on the brute in the hope that he
would drive it to the pen was routed
and narrowly escaped death by scaling
a tive-foot picket fence.
Mr.. Ward returned home at o'clock
and undertook to drive the hog intoshis
pen. The beast trotted sullenly ahead
until within few feet of the gate, when
it turned, and, with vicious snort,
charged OH its owner. The man tried
to beat it off, with stick, but was over
powered in an instant. The hog reared
itself off its hind feet, and, throwing its
weight against the man, bore him to tho
earth. 1t then sprang on him, and
with its front hoofs drawn closely to-
gether, and before the prostrate man
could recover his footing the hog had
made CHASTITY wound in his abdomen
with its teeth. The wounded man was
soon rescued by some neighbors, but
bled to death before medical assistance
arrived. The hog was killed with an az.

There seems to be no reason to doubt
that the Gladstone administration of the
British government will soon be super
seded by one more in harmony with the
present sentiments of the people on for
eign affairs. Mr.. Gladstone realizes the
situation in which his Egyptian policy
has placed him, and will not be sur
prised at any time by vote of want of
confidence, which means an appeal to
the country. Mr.. Gladstone's second
administration began April %. 1880,
and has lasted therefore, over four years.
This is longer period than the average
ministry has held power during the
past half century. Lord Melbourne
was Prime Minister for six years and
four months; Sir Robert Peel four years
and nine months; Lord Russell, five
years; Lord Derby, ten months; Lord
Aberdeen, three years; Lord Derby,
again, one year and three months; Lord
Palmerston, six years and four months;
Lord Russell, eight months; Lord Der
by, third time, two years; Disraeli, nine
months; Gladstone, five years; Disraeli,
second term, six years, and then came
Gladstone's second administration. It
does not now appear probable that the
Liberal party viii triumph in the next

In Massachusetts trial is being had

In Massachusetts trial is being had
of newly-invented burglar proof, self
registering ballot boxes for popular use.
The patented articles are said to be es-
pecially secure against ballot -stuffing
and other devices by which count is
made to vary from the number of hon
est ballots. The trouble in Massachu-
setts is not altogether ballot stuffing,
but from efforts of capitalists and en-
ployers of labors to control votes.
Thirty or forty years ago. The state
furnished envelopes in which voters
could place their ballots so that nobody
could know the ticket voted, but ways
were found to render the scheme prac-
tical nullity, and was abandoned. But
the subject generally is still of interest in
that state.

The National Association Adopts Design
and Awards Prizes Description of the
Monument.
Cleveland, June 26-The trustees of the Gar
field National Monument association decided
upon the design for the monument They
called to their aid experts in monumental mat
ters Calvert Vaux of New York, and Henry
Van Brunt of Boston. Both came here and
separately made examination of the designs
and gave the committee their criticisms with
out knowing of each others designs or views
first. The 81, 900 prize was unanimously given
by the trustees and both presidents, to George
H. Keller of Hartford, Con-, the second prize
of $750 to Charles F. and julius A. Schweyforth
of Cleveland; the third prize Of $500 to Mofit
Doyle of New York. The artist to whom the
first prize is awarded has adopted a tower for
the form OF the monument; a carved and sculp-
tured tomb is made the principal object OF the
memorial The tower rises from broad ter
races reached by projecting porch; at the
base vestibule, on one side of which is the
keepers Office; in the other, room for relics
and visitors register. The vestibule leads
into round vaulted chamber, the conical
roof Of which is carried on eight massive pol
ished granite columns in q circle around the
sculptured tomb in the center of the pave
ment tiled in harmonious cOlOrs and designs,
the whole lighted by nicely mullioned windows.
An aisle or ambulatory outside of the columns
surrounds the chamber, the wall of which is
decorated with inches for statues or vases of
flowers; spiral stone staircase leads from the
ambulatory to the top of the tower, ,250 feet from
the ground In the ascent, winding about the
tomb below, will be triple windows at frequent
intervals, commanding extending views for
miles in every direction, at one point looking
over Garfeld's birthplace, eight miles distant
Outside of the monument above the deeply re-
cessed portal is terra Gotta band or freize Of
sculpture six feet in height, extending around
the base of the tower which is forty feet etsquare.
The freize is divided into parcels with bas re-
iefs representing Garfield as educator, soldier
and statesman, and anxious friends watching
over the death bed and the funeral procession
from Elberon to Cleveland. The cornice Of
the tower bears the arms Of different states
Garfelds remains will be enclosed in the crypt
below the level of the chamber under the
carved tomb. A family vault is provided back
of the chamber.

Notwithstanding railroad stocks have
lost third of their entire speculative
value, the railroads are still where they
were, are in successful operation, and
are in better condition and many of
them are more valuable property than
ever before. A very large amount of
money has simply passed from the
hands of one gang of operators to the
hands of the other gang. There has
peen no actual loss or destruction of
property as if flarge sections of track had
