IsELTN. NEEsER & Co., brought an
action some time ago to have set aside
the assignment of O. NJ. Bogart & Co.,
bankers and brokers, of New York,
who failed for nearly two million dol
lars. The plaintiffs claimed that the
assignment was fraudulent and void,
alleging that the members of the firm
drew large sums to pay their individual
debts, regardless of the firms creditors.
Judge Donahue has decided to set the
assignment aside and directed that a
receiver should be appointed.

'Your name Is D'Augier, isn't it?" He
said: ayes; dat ees my name" Then
said over his head to the officers: "This
IL your man." Then turning To D'Augier
/ said: s'YOu are wanted for MURDER" at
the same time the officers clapped hand
cuffs on him.
On May 9Th he was brought into the
police court, and the charges against him
read. The Crown Solicitor appeared for
the prosecution, and Messrs. Napier and
Burton for the defense. The la ter
claimed that the court had no jurlsdic-
ton, and after some argument the case
was remanded to the 7th, after which it
was remanded to the llth.
On that last named dav the case was
brought up. Consul Gamble was the
first witness called. He testified on be-
half of the prosecution as to the various
articles found in MaXwelPS trunk, which,
among other things, contained two hand
kerchiefs marked &C. A p" a shirt with
two large spots of blood on it, sixteen
palbs of cuffs marked with the initials,
&C. A. P" and 4 suit of underwear
that had been ripped from d body.
In reply to questions as To how the
articles not bearing the initials of his
name had come into his posse ssion. Max
well said they had been given to him in
San Francisco by man named Robinson.
WHERE DID HE SPEND HIS MONEY?
The inference which is drawn here from
the fact that Maxwell had only s 80 when
arrested and spent SO little on the ship is,
that he ran against faro bank either
here or on the ship and got cleaned out.
The fact that he took steerage passage
would argue that he had little money be-
fore he started. Had lie gone In the
cabin he could have had his trunk in his
state-room, and then when his roommate
was ont he could have destroyed all COM
promising evidence, such as the thirty
four cufs marked c. A. p. and the cut
and slashed drawers. These he could
sasiIy nave thrown overheard at night.

Those voting no were Senators

The bill, however, was killed in. the
house by vote of 20 to IA. The motion
was to indefinitely postpone its further
consideration. The ayes and nays were

Mr.. Hughes voted aye in order to be
able to move reconsideration. 1t was
sc, moved and the motion was immedi,
ately laid on the table. That kills the
bill for this session. Before the vote on
the postponement was announced
Messrs. Ferguson and Bergh changed
their votes from nay to aye, which made
the final vote 81 to IL.
House bill No. 1854 was also killed in
the house. Upon motion of Mr.
Ferguson, seconded by Mr.. Hughes, /!
was indefinitely postponed.
The legislative committee of the
Trades Assembly, fearing that the busi'
ness men who so vigorously fought house
bill No. 20, to exempt 500 of the earn
ings of the head of family from attach
ment, would induce the governor not tc
sign it, called on him in regard to the
matter. He, in their presence signed it
and remarked that it was just measure
and he was but too anxious to have an
opportunity to aid in making it law.
Nothing further has been done with
the measures that the wage workers are
so much interested in.

Hard Tines and the Remedy.
[San Francisco Daily Report

Editor Report. >M
Will you permit a scientific Socialist
to give, in one paragraph, the cause of
hard times" and in another the only
scientific remedy therefor ? This is
certainly more than the Manufacturers
Association, the Board of Trade and the
Chamber of Commerce, can do in three
volumes each in year. We ought not to
expect anything of them; scientific teach
ers of fossils, not fossils of science.
The cause of hard times is this: Want
of money among the people; want OF
money because of want of work; want OF
work because of so-called "over-produc-
tion." According to the United States
census of 1880 each wealth producer Gre
ates annually $1,000 worth of value, for
which he receives in return but $346.O4
but after being a producer he becomes a
consumer of the very goods he creates
He is not allowed (employed) to produce
more until those already created are
consumed. But he can only consume
what he can buy-the $346 worth
Hence not overproduction but un'
der-payment is the cause of hard times
now, and is the root of the gigantic and
growing evils of panlcs, crises, riots and
revolution. Those who get the balance
of that 81 600 are what we Socialists term
the bourgeois or the loafing classes
Those who should get it are the pro-
ducers, the plundered slaves.
The only scientific remedy is that he
who will not work neither shall he eat
The loating classes must 60 to work
The only means to secure this is the es
adjustment of scientific system ofgov
ernmental CO operation.
If you publish this, take the crown al
the first capitalistic journal in Americs
which, has dared to allow statement O.
the whole truth regarding the 'Iabol
question" to appear in its columns.

tinguished contempt for the shams thai

self, I remain, Very truly yours,

Weir CrrY, Kansas. March SO.-One Of
the grandest demonstrations of Weii
City miners occurred here on Saturday
March twenty-elghth. that has eyer been
in this district, TO welcome an agent Of
the Coal Miners Amalgamation from
Colorado into our midst. Notices were
posted in the city that Mr.. William Bea.
man, from Colorado. would lecture. on
the question Of the day in the City hall.
The miners were all idle, and met at the
school house, at which place they formed
and paraded the streets, led by the
White cornet brass band, the parade
ending at the City hall. The band dis
coursed some splendid music at the hall
entrance, after which the hall was filled
almost to sufocation. The committee
of each bank sat upon the platform.
George Foulton, Jr., occupied the chair
Thomas McGregor, secretary. The chair
man called the meeting to order and re-
quested the secretary to read commu-
nication from John L. Lewis, executive
secretary. The chairman then called on
Mr.. BeamaDs to address the meeting,
who was received with cheers. When
the applause subsidized he explained that
in concentration of the moral and in
/. a =
tellectual powers of all trades and voca-
stions lies the salvation of those who earn
their bread by the sweat of their brows,
also the advantages of organization. He
also depicted the diabolical schemes and
inhuman conduct of A. 81. Danforth of
the Colorado Coal and Iron company.
He explained the condition of the men
of the Colorado Coal and Iron company,
and told a mournful tale about several
men who had been victimized, and i'm
prisoned because they dared to speak
out for that which justly belongs to
them. He showed how they suffered at
the hands of the sheriff. who furnished
the imprisoned men with covering in
fected with contagious disease. In
closing his remarks be appealed to the
workingmen to consider well what he
had said. & r. s S
A vote was taken as to whether the
miners of Weir City favored the move
ment of the executive board of Colorado.
All favored the movement and promised
to do all in their power to forward the
same. A vote of thanks was rendered
to the band and the speaker after which
the meeting closed.

HESlTATIONS.

Carry's luggage was put in, and her father
was waiting to see her Off. But the young
lady herself seemed unwilling to take the
final step: twice she went back into the
inn, on some pretense or another, and each
time she came ont she looked impatiently
around, as if wondering at the absence of
some one.
"Well, amt you ready yet " her father
asked.
~ want to say good-by to Ronald" she
said, half angrily.
"Oh, nonsense-you are not going to
America. Why, you will be back in ten
days or a fortnight. See here. Carry" he
added, care you sure you don't want me
to go part of the way with you -"
Not at all" she said promptly. at is
impossible for Mary to mistake the drec-
lions | wrote to her: and | shall find her
in the Station Hotel at Inverness all right
Don't you worry about me- pappa."
She glanced along the road again, in the
direction of the keepers cottage but there
was no one in sight.
"Pappa, dear" she said, in an under
standing by" if Ronald should decide on
giving up his place here, and trying what

complacent answer. 81 should take him

"Oh, no, not Chicago, pappa,' she said,

am sure he will be more at home-he will
be happier-in his own country"
She looked around once more and then
she stepped into the wagonette.
He might have come to see me off"
she said, little proudly. "Good-by,
papa dear; will send you telegram as
soon as get to Paris"
The two horses sprung forward ; Miss
Carry waved her lily hand and then set
to work to make herself comfortable with
wraps and rugs, for the morning was
chill She thought it was very unfriendly
of Ronald not to have come to say good
by. And what was the reason of ii? OF
course he could know nothing of the non
sense she had written to her friend in Chi
cago
Have you not seen Ronald about any
where she asked of the driver.
No, mem, answered the exceedingly
shy youth; she was not about all the
morning. But heard the crack of gun ;
maybe he was on the hill"
And presently he said, I'm thinking
that 5 him along the road-it's two of his
dogs whatever
And indeed this did turn out to be Ron
aid who was coming striding along the
road with his gun over his shoulder, a
brace OF settlers at his heels, and something
dangling from his left hand. The driver
pulled up his horses,
