~PrrTsBURG, May 27.-rhc directors of
the defunct bank this morning took pos
session Of the individual book accounts of
the concern and up to+ O'Clock had struck
some developments which promise to
show why the second collapse came so
suddenly. There is among the accounts
one of the firm of ID. Wilson 4 Co.,
which shows overlooking to the extent
of $2iO,00O. No such firm is known in
this city and it is supposed to represent
the accounts of a number of persons who

side Of the oil market and been allowed to
draw in the extent named. The directors
who furnished the information states
farther that the account of a prominent
oil dealer is overlrawn S97, 900. These

CHICAGO, May 27.-The first of May
musical festival performance occurred to-
night in the immense hall which subse-
quently will serve for the gatherings OF
the two great National Conventions. The
sale of tickets for the opening performance
was the largest for any like entertainment
ever given in this city. All decorations,
such as flags, te%stoons, banners and gar
lands had to be dispensed with, and a
wide area of space. covering 81 200
square feet, looks in consequence rather
barren. The wood work in the hall is
of stained sombre and Indian red. The
floor, IT'S by 300 feet, is divided into two
amphitheatres, seven aislcs and two
galleries.

Tilden's Health Good.

New YORK, May 27.-Yesterday a
correspondent called at the Greystone
for the purpose of verifying the report
printed in the morning paper, regarding
the health Of Mr.. Tilden. After waiting
a few minutes in the reception room Mr..
Iilden himself came in u~nannounced. He
said that the report of his failing health
was pure fabrication, and utterly without
foundation. That his health at the pre-
sent was better than it had been at any
time during the past year, and that he had
merely run down to Greystone for a few
days to personally oversee some improve
ments that he is making on that place.
lie said, further, that he expected to re
turn TO Gramercy Park tomorrow.

DETROIT, May 27.-David Stone, the
half-witted uncle of a little girl named
LEU Dycke, was arrested last week on
suspicion of having outraged and murder
ed her. He confessed the terrible crime
on Sunday night. Last night he was
taken into court without public knowledge
and sentenced to state prison for life. He
was then put into a close carriage and
driven across the country to jackson
where he arrived at an early hour this
morning. This extraordinary proceeding
was taken on account of the intense feel
ing at Hillsdale and to avoid lynching.

to-day: The only statement that is to

New YORK, May 27.-Prcsident Fish
now says that he did not mean to charge
that General Grant had any guilty knowl-
edge of frauds in the government con
tracts, but simply intended to say that the
letters received from General Grant were
of such a tenOr Us to warrant anyone hav-
ing confidence in the representations made
by Ward. John d. Fish says his father

THE LATEST .

New YORK, Nov. 13-The count is
progressing slowly. Out of a total Of
fiftynine counties fortynine are now IN,
and the result shows plurality of ,20s
for Cleveland. 1t is expected that New
York and Kings counties will change these
figures slightly, but not enough to defeat
Cleveland, if all the errors discovered
should be against him. Both sides watcl
the count with much carnestness, and al
though the democrats are confident a!
ever, they will not relax their watchful
ness for a moment.

STILL At IT,
No New Developments in the
New York State Count.
Cleveland Holds his Lead and
Cannot be Overtaken.
STILL COUNTING.

The returns of the county canvassers of
New York, which are slowly coming in,
confirm a substantial accuracy of the es-
timates of the state committee and of
those published in the leading newspa1
pers. As yesterday no material changes
are reported, and it is hardly probable
that Cleveland's plurality will fall below
1900. Hardly person doubts but that
Cleveland is legally elected and the only
apprehension now felt by his friends is
that some unfair means will be resorted
to. These fears should be set at rest as
idle fancies, for although the republican
managers have proved themselves to be
unscrupulous enough to stoopto anything
to gain their ends, their desperatencss
will hardly lead them to attempt to steal
the state of New York. even if they could.
The great majority of the republicans
throughout the country concede Cleve>
lands election, and the the remainder will
follow suit in rev days at most.
