Bradley Barlow of the Southeastern rail |
way failed the failure of the Trust com
pany being preclpitated by the Barlow
crash The liabilities of the Trust com
pany exceeded 5000 900, of which over half
million dollars was owing depositors,
who numbered 2300. Most of them were
working people. Brainerd was heavy
indorser on Barlow's paper, and owed the
Trust company nearly 100000 for money
borrowed and invested in the Norwood
Lumber company. Brainerd remained
about ST. Albans several weeks after the
Trust company failure. but persistently
refused to make any statement concerning
the affairs of the broken institution. AT
the September term of the Franklin Coun-
ty Court twenty-four indictments were
found against him, charging him with
numerous violations of the trust
company's charter and with embezzle-
mcnt. He was arrested ON numerous
charges and writs were served on ms per
son in consequence of these indictments,
but i'm each case he was released on bail,
the total amount of the bonds which he
was placed under being $4,000. Brainerd
shortly afterward disappeared. The sew
eral cases against him in the FRANKLIN
County Court have been called for trial
from term to term, but in the absence OF
the respondent no trial has been had. At
dered by the Court to put in an appearance
for trial. Legal steps were taken by the
State attorney to secure his presence.
State Attorney Burleson and Sheriff Ken
nedy, armed with the necessary papers,
searched the wild West for the prisoner,
but failed to find him. Brainerd at the
time was reported to be living i'll Denver.
Braiherd has repeatedly promised his
bOndsmen, who are Messrs f. stew
art Stranahan and Adds o. Brainerd
that he would come to Vermont for
trial when wanted. but he failed to APP
pear at the last term when his presence
was demanded
Present indications are to the effect that
the respondent will personally appear,
thereby saving his bonds from being for
ieited. He will return to find his estate
settled and his creditors paid about one
tenth of the amount of their claims. HIS
real estate and personal property is all
sold, having been turned over to an as
Sgnee for the benefit of his creditors be
fore he went West His personal debts
amounted to over 100000 The receiver
of the Trust company has paid dividends

WINNIPEG, Sept. S.--The Dominion gov

The Americas Gun.

The cup which is to he given to the
winning yacht is coveted neither for its
value nor its beauty. Its intrinsic value
is comparatively triflng its original value
being only 100 guineas, and as to its
merit as II work of art, the London Sutur-
dan RcricW says it is zone of the ugliest
cups ever produced by an English silver
smith, and that is saying "A good deal. "
Its greatest value consists in its character
as the emblem of supremacy in the yacht
ing world. and its chief beauty i'll Ameri-
can eyes Is in the inscriptions it bears, re-
cOrdng its capture from fleet of English
yachts and its successful defence
against four several attempts at its recap
ture. The cup lisa ever in form, stands
full two feet high, and is of solid silver,
weighing about 100 ounces. Around its
broadcast part are medallions bearing va
rious inscriptions. The first one reads {:
zone Hundred Guinea Cup, won Aug %,
1851, at Cowes Eng, by yacht America
ut the Royal Yacht Squadron regatta, open
to all natious. There appear III the same
medallion the names of The fifteen yachts
which started in the race. The next me
dallon bears the inscription: Schooner
America, 40 tons, Commodore John G.
Stevens built by George Steers. New
York, ISL" In the other spaces are re
corded the races made in defense of the
cup against English and Canadian yachts
which attempted its rccapture. Since it
was won by the America it has been held
by the New York Yacht club as Il pcrpet-
nal challenge cup, open tobe sailed for by
organized yacht clubs of foreign cUun-
tries. 1t is to be always the property, not
OF the yacht winning it, but Of the club
represented by such yacht, and to be held
under conditions like to those under which
it is now held.

PROTECT HOME INDUSTRY.

Much is being said now by politi-
clans about tariff for protection and
tariff for revenue only. What indus.
tries it should protect and to what ex-
tent it should extend its protection
seems to be perplexing question. The
manufacturers of iron, cotton, wool
and other raw material of this country
are for protection. From a private
letter from prominent and well
known commission house in New York
City received this week by one of our
merchants, we make the following ex-
tract. In speaking of the egg market,
the writer says:
"The advance will probably bring
increasing shipments of eggs from Ger
many, Denmark and Belgium. 2100
cases of 30 dozen each were received
today from the latter country. These
foreign shipments are very important
factor in the market, and native ship
pers should be cautious and refuse to
be led into paying fancy prizes" II
foreign countries are thus to interfere
with our egg markets, and materially
reduce the price, may not our good
women speak out for protection-for a
tariff to protect enc Of the greatest in
dustries of the country? If there i;
any class of people who are entitled tc
protection and encouragement, it i;
the good women of the country; the
farmers wives who to a large extent
depend upon the production of egg;
and poultry for their support and that
of their families. If foreign eggs are
to interfere with our home demand
and thus reduce prices, we are for g
tariff to protect them, and encourage
our good women in their noble work o.
production, Give us more eggs anC
better prices, and tariff If necessary
to protect them. Eggs are luxury
they are produced mainly by the far
mers, and the consumers generally arr
able to pay for them.

That tobacco is a powerful narcotic

will permanently relieve pain as be-
lieved and advocated by Gen. Cling

effects on the general health, it will
doubtless prove great blessing We
