Blaine peclines the Feast.

BosToN, August Thames G. Blaine
was invited to dine with the Middlesex,
Essex and Norfolk and the Massachusetts,
Republican clubs of this state, who ARE
DESTROYS of manifesting their highest es-
teen for your public service and their de-
votion to the cause which you represent as
a candidate Of the Republican party for
Presidency of the United States" Mr..
Blaine answered as follows: Il am under
obligations for the very kind invitation
which you extend to me TO meet Massa-
chusetts, Middlesex and Norfolk clubs at
a public banquet in the city of Boston. l
need not assure the gentlemen who COM
pose these clubs, of the very great pleas
ure it would give me to be their guest. |
appreciate most fully the kindness in
tended and it is with the sincerest regret
I find myself unable to indicate a day
when my engagements would permit me
to leave Maine. l am sure, however, the
festal occasion is not needed to deepen the
interest of Massachusetts in the impend-
ing national contest, and for myself, no
hospitality could Sdd to my sense of kind
ness which / have received on so many
occasions from the citizens of your State.
l am, gentlemen, with great respect, yours
truly, James G.. Blame.

Why the Bank Failed.

NEW YORK, August 1.-THE directors
of the Wall Street Bank held a long ses-
sion this afternoon at the bank building,
investigating the books and accounts.
President Evans said the condition Of
affairs is very confused and it would be
veryAoubtful if a statement could be made
for several days. The directors refused to
say anything whatever in regard to the
discoveries made. All disclosures thus
far is that the failure is due to the abstrac-
ton by the cashier of collaterals lodged
with the bank as security for its call loan.
The wife of John P. Dickinson, the de-
faulting cashier of the Wall Street Bank,
remained tonight at the house of her
father, c. F. Timson, in Madison avenue.
None of the family have seen Dickinson
since Friday last and he was then at the
Oriental hotel, Coney Island.

remains of Sergeant Edward Israel, mete-

at the depot by the city authorities,
Hebrew and German Socialists and 4
great c%oncourse of citizens. The places
of business were closed in respect Of the
deceased, who was a native of Kalamazoo
and honored for his unusually brilliant
talents. The funeral took place at 4
O'Clock from the residence of the young
Isre Is widowed mother. There is deep
sympathy here among all classes in the
great affection which ends three years Of
heavy hearted suspense.

GALVESTON, August 1.-THE Nelrs'
Terrell, Texas, special says: Bill Dough
erty and lack Gray, young rnnchers, re-
siding at Land Prairie, in the southwest
ern part of this county, were principals
in a desperate duel fought yesterday even
ing in which buth men were wounded,
Gray fatally. The trouble grew out of a
feud of long standing, and as the only ad-
iustment they agreed to adjourn to an
isolated place and use revolvers till one
or both fell. At the appointed time both
were on hand, and without parley com
menced action, both using single action
Colts As calibre. After the first fire the
men changed positions and began at will,
Dougherty receiving one of Gray's three
shots in his arm, while Gray at Dough-
erty's fifth shot fell with a bullet in the
lower part of his back. This ended the
battle, and the wounded men were cared
for by friends who, from a distance, had
watched the bloody encounter.

CALDWELL, Kan, August ll.-Troops
have broken the settlement of Boomers at
Pearl City or Staffordville, from Arkansas
Valley, and arrested three old offenders,
viz, j. d. Ross, ]. S. Clark and C. W.
Holden, who will be taken to Fort Smith
for trial. Valuable records pertaining to
the colony were captured. A stub book,
certificates Of membership showing issu-
ances of 1887 certificates at So each,
bearing the seal of the colony, the plats
and field notes of the survey made by H.
H. Stafford, Colony Surveyor, together
with numerous papers relating to the con-
Germ. The recent demonstration at Rock
Hills is having the effect to open the eyes
of the remaining Boomers and they are
leaving in most cases without the inter
position of the military.

NOTES FROM LANDER.
Suicide and other Cosby
News.

LANDER, August Mr.. Whelock has
opened a meat market on Main street,
next door to Jack Parks saloon. The
room has been newly papered and put in
good order. Mr.. Whelock intends run
ming a meat wagon to North Fork and
vicinity.
Mr.. Eugene Amoretti, Government
contractor, furnished the Indians the first
supply of beef last Friday. The Indians
have been out of beef for some time and
had come to the conclusion that they were
badly treated. Mr.. Amoretti has pur-
chased Mr.. John Arnold's entire cattle
train.
Miss Hall, of Little Popozia, has been
spending a week visiting Mrs. McLaugh-
lin and Mrs. Nickerson.
Mr.. Buntz, a young man who has been
driving stage for the Colorado & Wyom-
ing Stage and Express company, during
the last year, attempted suicide at the
Hotel de Nickerson yesternoon. via the
strychnia cryst route. The young man
appeared determined in his purpose and
made all necessary arrangements to depart
from this world of care. He made an as
signment of all his worldly effects to Will
liam Gable, after settling a few accounts.
About this time Sheriff Lowe and Prose-
cutting Attorney Bright took charge of the
young man, when they found a bottle OF
the above mentioned drug in his posses
sion, and on taking it to Mr.. Retten's
drug store found six grains missing.
Stomach pumps, hose carts, etc, etc,
were Immediately wished for, but the pa
tent showed no signs of going up or
down. 1t appears the cause Of this rash
act is one Of the fair sex of South Pass
City. On discovering the cause the young
man was released. Later in the evening
the young man was found in the stage
stable with a double action six shooter in
his hand doing a war dance over one Mr..
Reynolds, the alleged cause of the trouble.
The war dance ended without any blood
being shed and all is quiet now.
Mrs. Scriyen and Miss Alden visited
the Agency and Hot Springs last Mon
day, going and returning on horseback, a
distance OF thirty-four miles. They report
having spent a very ENJOYABLE day.
Lander is full of people at present, the
hotels are crowded and business is brisk.
There is a large amount of superior hay
being cut. Grain is doing well and the
prospects are good for a heavy harvest.
Berrying and picnic parties afford the
principal amusement at present, as the
weather is fine and there is an abundance
of wild fruit,
Miss Bessie Mckenzie, who lately ar
rived from the East, intends making dress
