Some Details OF Grant & ward.

NEW YORK, June 12.-Testimony was
taken before the referee to-day in another
suit growing out of the Grant &
Ward failure. Joseph n. II. Morris,
receiver of HE Marine bank,

should have gone to creditors of the bank.

Of the cash contributed. U. S. Grant put
in $92, 600, q. S. Grant, Jr., $50. 900, and
Ferdinand Ward $50, 900. Fish contributed
no cash. The balance OF the $40, 600
was made up of flour" notes, bonds and
stock by all members offering. Spencer
said the loans of securities often ran SO high
as $1,000, 600. 1t was frequently the case
that the firm paid more for the use of
money than it received Oh leans. Witnes
said Fish sometimes drew Oh his privats
account to show fictitious earnings to de-
positors. He stated that Grant & Ward did
losing business after February 2S, 1882.

stin Another Conferences.

PITTsBURG, June 12.-The probable out
come Of to-morrow's conference of iron
manufacturers and workmen was the prin-
cipal topic of discussion in iron circles to-
day. Both sides are communicative, but
outsiders, having no information on the
situation further than the fact that the
manufacturers have moved for confer
ence, are inclined to think the miners
terms will be accepted and the mills
started up next week.
1t is said that the call for another con-
ference was made by three prom
lnent iron firms here, who
want to sign the workers call and end the
strike, The other manufacturers disap-
prove of any such action. They will hold
a meeting tomorrow morning, and
lively time is expected. II the
council of the three firms don't prevail
there will be no conference with the work
men in the afternoon, and the strike will
continue. The Canonsburg iron mills at
CanOnsburg, Pa, resumed operation to-day
with nom union men.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, June 12.-At the of
flee of the secretary of state to-day, the in
corporation of the Intermunicipal Elevated
Railroad company at Chicago was certified.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Col. Biermann
and MI. Van Leuven leave for home to-
morrow morning. They say frankly that
they have no idea when the Minnesota Of
fees will be taken up for final action.
Biermann finds no opposition to himself for
the acknowledgements relationship, and goes
away confident that he will win the prize
when that office is filled. The absurd story
published in the Pioneer Press,
claiming that Kelly had withdrawn
his support from Biermann because of
his attitude in the Winona postoffice mat
ter, is denounced by Biermann,as entirely
false. He says that he has no intimatiOn
that Kelly had withdrawn his support and
that he certainly has not changed his atti-

guaranteed by the constitution of the United

lions they had not beeh protected in these
rights. He said that he would use all his
power as senator to secure to all equal
rights under the law.

Retrenchment and Reform.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-The reductions
in the pay rolls of the agricultural depart
ment for the month of May were little
over 5000, as compared with the previous
monthly average. Additional reductions
for June amounting to about $500 have been
made and others are thought to be inevitable
in order to prevent a deficiency. The work
ing force of the statistical bureau has
already been greatly reduced, but a
close computation discloses the fact that
the available funds in hand are insufficient
to carry the work through the month upon
the present scale, and it is unprecedented that
the discharge or suspension of nearly all the
remaining force will take place at once. On
the other side considerable fund appro-
priated for the bureau of animal industry
and available for no other bureau, will be
returned to the treasury while the entomal-
Ogical bureau and one or two others of the
department. have husbanded their resources
and will come out even at the end Of the
year.

Mail Subsidy Killed.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-With the APP
proval Of the president. the postmaster
general has decided not to advertise for bids
to enter into contracts for the transporta-
ton of foreign mails upon the mileage
basis. MI. Villas enters into long argu-
ment on the subject and concludes by say
ing:
1t has seemed, therefore, better to remit
the subject to congress for more explicit
legislation than to attempt to distribute a
large sum of money not in fact required for
use for which it was appropriated, merely
because the act of congress gives license.

he slipped it into the colored mans hand
and whispered few words in his ear.
The messenger stepped inside and deliv-
cred himself of these lines: "Col. lngersoll
is waiting in the hall. He says he under

gress and government officials, and wants
to know when you can see gentlemen. +"
Lamar bent his head low on his desk to

A Partisan who will Stay.


WASHINGTON, June 12.-Editor Nc
Fadden of Steubenville, O., has been here
on a fruitless mission. It. appears that the
postmaster at Carrollton, the county seat of
Carroll county, in Ohio, combines news
paper editing with mail distribution. Dur
ing the campaign the postmaster aforesaid,
in his editorial capacity, scored Cleveland
rather vigorously after the Maria Halpin
scandal, and said: 'If Cleveland should
unfortunately be elected no decent woman
would be found inside the White
house." Such titbits as this
were of frequent occurrence. So much so
that Editor McFadden culled about two
columns thereof, and came on here to get
the writer bounced out Of his postoffice
worth in the neighborhood of 5000. Re
Gently, by special arrangement, Mr.. Me-
Fadden had an audience with the first as
sistant postmaster general. The extracts
from the paper were submitted. The case
against the postmaster was discussed. Fin
ally Mr.. Hay told Editor McFadden that
the charges submitted were not sufficient
upon which to base a removal. Editor
McFadden was treated to first-class snub,
and will no doubt engage no further in poll
tics.

From the Brooklyn Union.
Washington E. Connor attends to the
execution of Jay Gould's stock orders, and
is, in fact, the lieutenant of Gould in all
stock operations. Russell Sage is the one
whom Gould seeks when in need of money.
1t is nothing for Sage to let Gould have

their falling out the other evening at the
Windsor hotel. Things do not always go
as Gould plans to have them go, and long
time ago Gould calculated that the old issue
of Manhattan railway stock would suffer a
decline. He accordingly went short of it
in the market A court decision, think it
was, put a different aspect ON the matter
and rise in the stock was inevitable.
Gould was obliged to ''cover' his short in

gency. He knew that Russell Sage held
great deal of the stock. He rushed into
Sage's Office and, as if doing Sage favor,
told the latter to hurry up and sell his stock
because it was going all to pieces. Conner
bought all that sage sold to ''cover"
GOuld's shorts. When the de-

found it out, and he was hopping mad, but
he could not help himself. Sage probably
made SIS, 900, 900 by his connection with
Gould. the latter letting him into schemes
that brought him large profits. Sage helped
Gould at time when the latter sorely
needed money, and afterward Gould showed
his gratitude by putting the former in the
way Of adding immensely to his fortune.
Gould, however, helped himself to large
slice of Sages fortune last year during the
great decline in values. His brokers had
bought enormous numbers of puts of Sage,
and the drop in values made the aggregate
profit to Gould, I think, according to the
