HOW IT HAPPENED.
Grant and His SON Victims of Ward.

Grant and His SON Victims of Ward.
NEw York. Nav 9-Mr. VIM. c. Smith,
the stock exchange member of the firm OF
Grant Il Ward, said this afternoon: Il do
not think the statement of the assignee will
be ready until the latter part of next week.
| do not think the amount of liabilities will
reach $SOOO,OOO. These figures are all
gossip and are think, eXtravagantly large.
| had nothing to do with the transactions of
the firm beyond the business done in the
exchange. The railroad companies
which received loans on securities
which have been transferred to
other persons are amply protected and will
lose nothing. The losses will fall chiefly
upon individuals who have invested money
with the firm. Of course General Grant
and his son have known of the firms trans
actions but do not think they were fully
aware of the large amount involved, They
have been led on by Ward, and of course
they lose heavily" A wellknown member
of the Stock Exchange, said: For four or
6ve months / have heard rumors of the queer
transactions of Grant 4 Ward do not
think $S,O0O,O00 is BY any means
an extravagant estimate OF the
liabilities Of the firm. 1t is
nv belief that they viii exceed sle,-
O0O, 900. What the assets viii be, no one
can say, but they will probably be very
small and the disparity in the figures will
undoubtedly cause great surprise. The
Marine National bank has begun suit
against Ferdinand Ward to recover $780,
600. the amount of over-drafs paid out hr
the bank on Wards account. An attach
ment on this suit was granted against the
house and personal property Of Ward in
Brooklyn.
The rumor that Mr. Ward was to be ar
rested is not vet confirmed II is said Ward
has became physical wreckSthe strain
attendant upon his troubles being too much
for him.

WESTON, W. Va. May 9.-The spring
has been an unprccedcntly backward one,
and until FIVE DAYS ago many farmers
sighed in despair nj the gloomy prospect OF
a grass, oat aud corn crop, but the recent
rains have supplanted that gloom with
bright hopes.
That business is rc,iving in our midst is
evident from the crowds of people which

most casual observer that their party Is rent
with dissensions, and that these dissenxious
bid fair TO magnify as the campaign ad-
vances. The fact that Lewis county
went Republican two years ago has
flushed its leaders with the drlusi0n that
they can win in the coming campaign with
more ease and with larger majority than
tha, of two years ag", IL may be asked
why the county, for years largely Demo
cratic, went Republican two years ago' In
that campaign i nppsrs that great many
Democrats were impressed, by some strsngc
hallucination, that Genernl Gof would. 70

HUNG IN EFFEGY.

Last Saturday morning the people Of
our town were somewhat surprised to
see the figure Of man hanging on the
old stone wall across from Kean's store
with a large placard on the breast la
bled "Judge Hawkins" In explana-
ton it will be necessary to state that
large number of the boys had arranged
to have a mock trial on Friday night
and had everything in preparation tor
lots of fun. The principals in the case
were Charley Box and Senator John
Walker. The Senator had been arrest
ed and had given bonds for his appear
apce at the Court house at 7 o'clock on
Friday evening. The charge was as
sault with intent to kill. About the
time the trial was to come off at least
$50 men and boys were to be seen in
front of the Courthouse awaiting the
arrival Of the principals in the case and
their lawyers. Judge Hawkins had
given his consent to the arrangement
when it was explained to him, and ev-
erything worked like charm up to the
time the crowd assembled before the
Courthouse. Then Mr.. Hawkins ap-
peared and took Senator Walker away
and explained TO him, in the Mormon
language probably, what was up. Ev-
cry effort was made to induce Hawkins
not to interrupt the proceedings, but
the cat was now our of the bag and the
matter had to be dropped. Disguised
at the manner in which Hawkins acted
the crowd uttered curses loud and
strong, and swore that should Mr.. T. r.

they would vote against him to a

it was evident from remarks caught by

Late in the evening forms could be seen
gliding hith her and thither in the dark
ness and the dummy on the wall in the
morning explained what was being done.
To our mind it was none too severe a
rebuke TO the man who would thus will
fully hinder a majority Of our people
from having a little harmless amuse-
ment.
