FACTS IN FINANCE.
The Comptroller of Currency
Makes a Report.
Illinois Legislative Squabbles
to be Settled Monday.
Cutting Down the Wages of
the Workingmen.

The Comptroller and the Currency.
WASHINGTON, November 26.-The
annual report of the Comptroller of the
Currency shows that during the year
ended November l, 1884, l9l banks have
been organized with an aggregate capital
of $l6,042, 2S0. Circulating notes have
been issued these new associations
amounting to 1886. 230. The total
number in existence November J., 1884,
was 2,67l. the largest number in opera
ton at any one time. Eleven national
banks, with an aggregate capital Of ST.
2S5, 900, have failed and been placed in
the hands of receivers during the year.
The different items of resources and LA
bilities, as tabulated, indicate that the
business of the national banks during the
past eleven years has generally increased.
The items of United States bonds and
circulation thereon were decreased during
the past two years. The aggregate LA
bilities of national banks to depositors
and correspondents were reduced during
the year upwards of s94, 0O0. 900. This
reduction of liabilities and general reduc-
ton of loans by banks which amounted
to over $63, O00, 900 during the year, the
Comptroller says, was doubtless occa-
stoned by financial troubles in May and
general depression Of business. During
the same period the national banks in
creased their cash resources by about $2l.-
100000 specie, and $I1 900, 900 legal
tenders and United States certificates of
deposit for the same. The total number
of banks still in operation, organized I'M
der act June 8, 1864, and the provisions
of the revised statutes, the periods of
succession of which will terminate unless
hereafter renewed during the years previ-
Gus to 1900, is l,4Ss, with a capital of
1921 ,466, las and a circulation of 1884,
745, 305. The banks he'll November ],

of which 50, 5s6, 200 have been called for
payment, interest ceasing November /,

The -Leman-Rrand Case.

CHICAGO, November 26.-After hear
ing further evidence in the Leman-B Brand
contest including hat of Hon. E. B.
Washburne, and other well known citi-
zens, the jury this evening adjourned I'M
til Monday. The local papers will pub
lish a statement tomorrow to the effect
that there is good authority for the asser-
ton that the jury before adjourning found
indictments against the three Judges and
two Clerks Of election in the Second pre-
cinct of the Seventh ward on the charge
OF making fraudulent returns to the
County Clerk, and instructed the United
States District Attorney to draw up pa
pers. If the case should be decided in ia
vor of Brand the Illinois Legislature will
be Democratic, hence will elect a successor
to General Logan and if decided in favor
of Leman the Legislature will be a tie.

THE LATEST AGONY.
Employees of the Union Pacific Called
Upon to Give Bonds.

From the Omaha Bee.
The latest circular issued by the Union
Pacific company is one from the general
manager informing all employees holding
responsible positions, or those handling
money, that after the LIST of December
they will be called upon to give bonds.
The circular says:
"For the purpose of relieving agents
from the embarrassment of requesting
friends and business acquaintance to go
upon their bonds, it has been decided to
procure from the Guarantee Company of
North America, a corporation duly or
ganized and empowered to ransact such
business, a bond covering all employees
y
"As the rules of this company hold
agents strictly accountable for the entire
business done at their respective stations.
bonds will be required from agents only"
=
THE premiums Of the bonds of all
agents and conductors running passenger
and mixed trains, now in the service,
will be paid by the railway company, but
future appointees to these positions will
be required to pay the premiums on the
bonds. superintendent will be expected
to collect the amount due from each new
employe guaranteed, by stopping it in
favor of the Guarantee company on the
pay rolls of the first month in which he
is employed
The bonds will only run one year, and
must be renewed at the end of that time,
and a premium will have to be paid upon
renewal, the same as in fire insurance.
Accompanying this circular is one from
A. S. Van Kuran, auditor of agents ac-
counts, ip which it is said that Super
intendents will be notified upon applica-
ton of this Office of the amount of the
bond required from each agent and con-
ductor; and travelling auditors will in no
case install an agent until his application
for bond is properly completed and deliv-
to them"
In the same envelope containing these
two circulars is placed a blank applica-
ton for a bond which the applicant is re.
quired to ell ont and return to Mr.. Van
Kur1n. Many Of these questions arc
hard for the railroad men of to-day t.
answer. Among them is one which read
US follows:
''Are you a member of a religious or
ganization2 If so state what, and Civ
name of clergyman"
There are in all about forty questions Il
be answered by the applicant.
The working of the whole thing is a
follows: This guarantee company for
certain sum of money secure the Uniol
Pacific company against all loss by it
employees, and the guarantee company il
turn requires each emyloye holding a re
sponsible position to give to them a per
sonal bond. In case a station agent de
camps with 81, 200, the property of tn
Union Pacific company, the company sim
ply calls the attention of the guarantee
company to the fact, and the loss is a
once made good to the Union Pacifi
company, and the guarantee compan
then begin action against the defaulter.

Heavy Reduction.

EAsroN, Pa, November 26.-There is
feeling of dissatisfaction among the EN-
ployes Of the Jersey Central and Lehigh
& Susquehana division of the Philadel-
phia & Reading road over the announce
ment of a reduction of from 5 to 40 per
cent in wages. If the reduction is made,
the indications are it will not be accepted
by the engineers, firemen and other train
men. Another rumor that all employees
will be required to withdraw from the
various brotherhoods, causes considerable
connection among the men.

A Dsvilish Deed.

A villainous act has been performed
at the corner Of Court and Hope streets,
where some large, white imported ducks,
the pride Of the town, and the property
of Mr.. E. L. Baker, have been in the
habit of swimming and eating the mat
ter that would otherwise have decayed
and polluted the atmosphere. Some
rascal has mixed meal with poison and
IDsattered it around the poad. Tho
ducks have eaten it with avidity and are
dying hourly. Five died yesterday fore.
noon. and the rest OF the flock is likely
to follow them. These ducks are so
highly prixed for feathers and for food
that the eggs sell for 81 80 per dozen in
advance Of production.
Why these valuable birds were slaugh.
tered by poison is not known. They
were positive benefit to the nsighbor-
hood in clearing the water of matter
that would soon decay and evolve iniur-
ious gases to the human system. But it
seems that the dastsrdly deed goes far.

How DID He Dieq

The Coroner went out to the Arroyo

ston which had been discovered in the
ground, covered with about fifteen in
ches of earth. He found the bones Of q
man, that had been buried in redwood
box. presumably IS yeas old at the
time Of his death. with soft, brown hair,
two upper and two lower teeth missing.
The manner in which the box and some
Of the bones crumbled to pieces would
indicate that the body had been in.
tered nearly ten years. though this is
but a matter Of speculation. A thorough
search failed to show any objects by
which the remains right be identified,
the only thing besides the bones in the
box, being largo piece of diagonal
cloth coat Of 9 greenish hue. The body
was discovered under q tree, near an ar
royo, not far from the first slaughter
house. A good many theories have been
