The Big Butler Meeting i'm Union Square.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-The mass meet ing of the Peoples party in Union Square this evening to endorse General Butler for President was attended by fully seven thou sand people Three stands decorated with bunting had been erected in front of the plaza, from which the speakers addressed the audience. Louis F. Post presided at the central stand, from which General Butler made his address. The general arrived shortly after 8 o'clock and was received with loud cheers. After thanking the spectators for their warm greeting he said: ''This is indeed the ratification by the great city of New York of the inauguration of the Peo- ple's party, the true Democracy. Unlike the labored, t64ous and involved platforms of the other parties, that of the Peoples party is short and comprehensive of every principle for the conduct of the government of the republic and can easily equality of right, equality of burdens, equal ity of powers and equality of privileges to all under the law.'' Mr. Butler next referred to monopolists and railroads, which latter he said both elevated and surface as soon in corporated by ingenious and often fraudu- lent contrivances erect themselves into ter rife and outrageous combinations by means of which the people are robbed of their earn ings, their business hindered and crushed and the many impoverished for the sole benefit of the few. Butler concluded by saying that the laborers have the greatest interest in the matter of cheap transporta- tion, which means cheap food for the men of the East and cheap food means higher wages and home comfort. Cheap transportation means an opening for the manufactures of the workman and artisans of the East to supply the men and women of the West, who if they can obtain fair prices for their provisions can buy those productions.
 Ex-Senator Thomas F. Grady, late of Tam many, also addressed the meeting. He said he had attended the meeting because he was not going to be a deadhead in any enter prise. He thought the Peoples candidate had just as much chance of being elected as either of the other candidates, but if they were not successful this time they would be so organized that in four years from now victory would be certain. At Chicago he said all the candidates that had done anything for the laboring classes had been sent to the rear and the candidate that was one thing to-day and something else to-mor row got the nomination. .'But," said the speaker, "this is the year in which we are going to diseonnect the wires and when election day comes the managers will find things are not working as in former years" :" MT. Grady concluded by referring in caustic language to Governor Cleveland's action in vetoing the five cent elevated fare bill and the twelve hour bill for drivers and con ductors.

Henry villard Revicvys His work.

Henry Willard Reviews His Work.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Henry Willard has addressed to the stockholders of the Northern Pacific railroad company review of his la bors in their behalf with an explanation of the causes that led to the disappointments of his administration. Mir. Willard states that in the fall of 1880 Chief Engineer Anderson of the company submitted an estimate that $20, 773, 900 would complete 825 miles of the main line. This estimate seems absurdly low now, but it was at the time the only available basis for financial forecast. There was then in the treasury the equivalent of over $4O, ,OOO, 900, which would have complet- ed the line as per estimate and left large surplus A new estimate submitted in Jan uary, 1882, showed cost of $24, ,001 500 for the remaining ITO miles, The increase of twenty per cent. in the cost of ITO miles over that of 825 miles was explained by higher prices for labor and materi- als. The resources of the company still seemed on close calculation equal to this estimate. Just at this time the company's trouble with the government about the land grant began. For eleven months no road was accepted by the government. The com pany had to dispose of it's securities and was unable to borrow money MT. Willard lent it s3,441 900 personally. After describing the struggles of the company Mir. Willard completed at a cost of $42, ,9eO, ,796 or over ninety per cent. in excess, of the chief engineers first calculation. MT. Willard, after pointing to the efforts for economy, submits that the reverses befalling the Trans continental company and himself were due e- the engineering department. He claims that his labors in completing the line have put the company in shape to obtain what money they need and that if, as he believes, they have $100, 0,000,000 surplus on June 3Oth next it will be due to his management.

The Note Found Posted On the Door
 of Private Institution.
 ROCKFORD, H., Sept. 15.-This eommu- nifty was startled this morning by the an nouncement that N. c. Thompson's bank was closed and that it had suspended pay ment. A reporter on visiting the institution found the following notice posted on the door:
 To my creditors:
 Owing to the stringency of the money mar ket am unable to meet my obligations as they mature and am compelled to suspend. My assets belong to my creditors until their demands are satisfied. Believing from com mon experience that an assignment would result in unnecessary loss to the creditors I have determined to apply my assets directly to satsify the debts if such course shall meet the creditors approval. As soon as an accurate list of property and liabilities can be made I shall be glad to meet my creditors in consultation as to how their interests can be subserved. This suspension will in no way affect the assets of the corporation known as the N. c. Thompson Manufactur- ing company. It is the advice of some of the  my own judgment that no assignment should be made. To the utmost of my ability I shall endeavor to save my creditors from loss and in this endeavor I hope to re- ceive their aid and assistance. My assets at fair valuation believe largely exceed all my liabilities Please call at the office of the N C. Thompson Manufacturing company, 642 South Main street. West Rockford N. c. THOMPSON. It is impossible to ascertain the amount of the assets or liabilities, but it is stated on good authority that he has failed for $780, GOO. The assets include stock in the N c. Thompson Manufacturing company, which was recently organized and in which MT. Thompson has $200,00O of the $25O,0OO stock, and notes against farmers for agricul- tural implements. MT. Thompson has been in business since 1855 and has done much to build up the city, being largely interested in I Rockford's welfare. The depositors are l farmers and laboring people on whom the loss falls heavily. The bank was his private | institution where he borrowed money to car l " on his manufacturing business. By pay ing a larger rate of interest than the other l banks he secured quite large sums A state ment will be given to the public soon.

An Interesting Case Raised By Sena-
 tor Anthony's Death.
 NEWPORT, R. l., Sept. 15.-It is stated that some time before Mr Danielson, the late editor of the Providence Journal, died he endeayored to persuade the late Senator An thony, his partner, to consent to a revalua- tion of the newspaper, each to select referee and the two to choose third one. The two partners signed compact, each agreeing that his estate should sell his share to the other in case death dissolved the partnership. The figure named at the time the bond was made was a high one, but as the property increased in value the provisions of the agreement were not equitable. MT. Danielson was then in TO- bust health, while MT. Anthony was ill, hay ing been attacked by the disease which ter minated fatally. MT. Danielson saw that the chances were largely in favor of his outliving MT. Anthony and in justice to the Senator he suggested the revaluation. MT. Anthony, who then believed his days were to be few, declined to enter the matter because it would as he said work an injustice to MT. Daniel son. The bond was not changed. MT. Dan ielson died first and the injustice which MT. Anthony was afraid would result if the revaluation was made has fallen upon Mr. Danielson's heirs, but in another way. Instead of having to buy MT. Anthony s share of the paper at high valuation they have, it is asserted, been called upon to dis pose of MT. Danielson's share at price far below it's actual cash value. The heirs of both estates have placed the matter in the hands of lawyers for settlement.

 Not a Case Now in Switzerland.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-A report has been received at the State department an nouncing there is no longer single case of cholera in Switzerland. United States Con- su1 Wood reports that the Italy quarantine has effectually stopped the foreign com merce of that country, while Sicily and sar- dinia are cut off from the other portions of the kingdom. Besides the great loss to for eign commerce it is estimated that many thousand tourists will be prevented from wis iting the country and that the pecuniary loss resulting is incalculable. Much doubt is expressed as to the efficacy of the quarantine on the mainland, but it is an unquestioned importance to the islands. Italy's greatest danger from cholera is in the return of the thirty thousand Italian day laborers who were at work in southern France at the time of the outbreak of cholera there
