A Sudden Summons.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE COM
munity was profoundly shocked yester-
day afternoon ut the announcement of
the death of Miss Katherine Lee Bay
ard, eldes. daughter of the Secretary of
State. She received the guests at the
large reception at theirhome last night,
and was gayer and more spirited than
she had been for some time, as for a
week past she had been suffering from
a severe cold and neuralgia. The ply
sicians pronounced the cause Of her
sudden death heart disease.
Miss Katharine Lee Bayard Was the
eldest Of the six daughters, and through
the long period during which her moth
er had been an invalid she had been
given all the charge and responsibility
of the family. All leaned and depend
ed on her, and her younger sisters had
a love and admiration for her that was
unusual among sisters. She was o
clever and brilliant girl. whose wit and
repartee was proverbial and she was
always surprising her friends with
some unexpected turn and phase Of her
character. She was most fearless
rider, and at hunts and riding parties
would not hesitate at putting her horse
at anything.
The Cabinet circle and society in
general will pay respect to Secretary
Bayard's family by canceling all en-
gagements of this week.

the contestants were ordered to retire, after the

such that Waish's horse was thrown down and
fell on top Of his rider, who was knocked sense

him off his horse and took him to the police sta

The Production of Pig-Tron.

PITTsBURG, July 8.-The monthly statement
of the condition of the blast furnaces of the
United States, which will be published to NOR
row, will show 80 furnaces, with a capacity of
12l,6 $50 tons. in blast, and 335 furnaces, with a
capacity of 68015 tons, out of blast. Out of the
furnaces in blast SO are charcoal furnaces, Il9
anthracite and 1872 btuminous Those out of
blast are 1o8 charcoal. 80 anthracite and 81
bituminous. AS compared with the LIST of June
there are five moro charcoal furnaces in blast,
four less anthracite, and one more bituminous
making total increase of two furnaces in blast
during the month. There has been an increase
in the capacity of the charcoal and
bituminous furnaces in blast, and a
decrease in the capacity of anthracite. The
total increase in capacity in blast is less than
one hundred tons These facts indicate that the
haste to increase the make of pg-ron by blow
ing in furnaces has met check. II is always
true at this time of the year. except in times of
unwonted demand, that consumption falls off
and stocks increase. Stocks at the furnaces
have been increasing since March. until now
they are larger than at any time since last fall,
and they would have been larger still, had it not
been for the coke strike in the spring, which
reduced production both East and West While
it thus appears, from comparison of this report
with that of last mouth. that the rate OF pro-
ducton has not increased materially, the weekly
production of pig-iron is probably greater to day
than ever before in the history of the country.

Systematic Biack-Mailins of the Chesapeake
Canal Company's Bond Thieves


Canal Company's Bond Thieves.
Philadelphia Record.
The scheme was one of gigantic robbery, out
of which lesley aud Wilson profted but little
themselves. The greater part of the $615,000
which was stolen, aside from that used TO pay
the interest, was divided among coterie of men
who were nothing more than black-mailers, but
who will now figure as co-conspirators.
Said gentleman interested in the case. yes
terday: Lesley and Wilson must have led a
terrible life. They sat upon volcaao all the
time, not knowing what minute there would be
an eruption. Wilson must have been taken into
the confidence of Lesley early in the game, for
he was thoroughly versed in the scheme. When
Lesley first began to issue the bonds on his own
account he called into the service couple
of wellknown men who dealt in bonds
and securities These men being of good repu-
tation easily disposed of the bonds, and the pur
chasers had no thought of crookedness. AS it
would not do to have too many bonds go through
the hands OF a few, other agents were called in.
Finally a couple of these Eaen discovered the
methods of Lesley and Wilson. They at once
determined to feather their nests, so they made
demand upon the two secretaries for money,
and held before them the terrors of the law in
case OF refusal. 1t Is almost needless to say
that from that moment these men lost no time
to milk the cow In time others became
aware of something being wrong, and they,
too, demanded their percentage of the steal
ing It is said that in one case Lesley and
Wilson obtained but 90 per cent. of the face
value of the bonds as the proceeds of the sales,
while at another period they were compelled to
content themselves with only % per cent The
men who negotiated the overissues kept the re-
mainder of the ill-gotten money for their trouble
and risk. The interest upon the regular issues
Of the bonds amounted to $4,000 per year. The
interest upon the overissue called for $780, 900 per
year additional, as near as can be estimated. At
that rate the new bonds could have been carried
for twenty years. But the stealing did not ex
tend back that far, nor at first was it in an
amount to justify the use of so large sum. So
far as can be estimated at this time the con-
spirators divided among themselves the enor-
nous sum of over $3.50 900 in cash. And we feel
safe in saying that Lesley and Wilson did not
obtain for their own use much over 500, 900.
The rest went for hush money.
