of Irrigation as the paramount issne at the

tricts should be formed under authority Of
law to distribute equita5ly all the waters
of navigable streams; holds that all people
should have right to the streams of the

CINCINNATI, October 9.--Archbishop Q. Hide

clergy and laity of the diocese Of Cincin
natl on the subject OF the late Archbisho ?
Purcell. who failed for about milton dol
lars some years ago, owing part of that
amount to poor people who had entrusted
their savings to him. The Archbishop, af

circulation to the report that the Pope had
ordered him to
PAY OFF CLAIMS
On the debt says: If It were right that the
churches and other religious Institutions in
the diocese should be sold for those claims
wouldn't wait for any suit at law to sell
them all and begin again in rrnted halls.
But these churches, schools and asylums do
not belong to me. They were built or
bought with morey to serve the highest
possible interests of the
CHILDREN OF FUTURE. GENERATIONS
For all time to come; but the truth is that
the debt Is not OF the diocese or church, be-
cause the money entrusted to the Very Rev.
Ward was not loaned to him for religious
purposes. The owners brought 1t to him to
take care OF 1t, when they were afraid to
trust 1t with banks and merchants After
that Archbishop Purcell was ac.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 9.-The Bulletin
prints the following this afternoon, which
is reply to dispatch telegraphed from
Los Angeles: The charter recommended d
by the Los Angeles committee OF citizens
would not be acceptable to oakland"
Said Mayor Piayter, after he had read the
telegram containing its provisions "The
Los Angeles plan provides for the union of
the legislative and executive officers Tho
members of the Oakland Commission do
not favor that combination. The plan
probably is taken from that part OF the State
law that provides charters for cities smaller
than Oakland or Los Angeles. Alameda,
for instance, has three Trustees, and they
perform executive as we'll as legisla i've
functions. The plan that seems most
favored by the Oakland commission is the
election at large of fourteen Councilmeu.
two of whom shall be residents of every
one of the seven wards. The objection to
the plan of election at large Is political and
possibly, in order that the charter may be
accepted by the people, election by wards
may be provided" The Mayor spoke favor
ably of the appointment Of Conference
Committee to meet q similar COMMITTEES
from Los Angeles in an endeavor to agree
upon charter, after each Commission has
finished its draft.

Wrecked by a Partner.

CHICAGO, October 9.-N. n. Neeld, a part
ner in the well-known packing house Of J.
G. Ferguson & Co., is in Canada. He has
issued bogus warehouse receipts for people
aggregating $780, He has practically
bursted the firm. The loss will fall altogether
on the banks; s1oO, 900 on single New York
bank. "The banks here who lose by it,"
said prominent director, "are all rich
and will not know the loss" The worst
loss is on New York institutions. Neeld
left for Canada night before last and no one
has heard from him. Neeid is fine look
ing man, about As years olj. He was man
aging partner in the hrnl, which was very
old and rich, and came originally from Iu-
dianapolis The biggest loss has been in
Wall street.
No particulars at all have yet been OBJ
tanned concerning the failure of Ferguson,
who is locked in his private office and re-
certained exactly the extent of the failure
that has Overtaken the firm.
The firm was composed of ]. G. Ferguson,
Ed. Ferguson, sen; Goodbody, OF Liverpool; /;
law The latter had his headquarters at
New York, and from that place managed
the shipments For that reason some bank
ing was done there. The New York Corn
Exchange bank Is the heaviest loser. Its
loss Is placed at 100000 without security.
The heaviest losers are banks, and in this
order: First National, Metropolitan, Illinois
National, and probably number OF others.
The Continental is the smallest loser among
the banks Neeld is stated to be the
author of the cause Of the failure Of
his father-in law, some years ago. Mrs. J.
@. Ferguson was very wealthy, and loaned
money to start the house up. She now
holds a mortgage on It.. The defalcation
was great it Is believed, throughout the
year, and 1t is presumed that it started with
no really dishonest motive; but buyers
receipts were soon beyond his control, and
before be left he sunk everything ont OF
sight. The house CT ]. c. Ferguson & Co.
Is one that has been extensive for twenty
five years. 1t was In existeEce in Indian
apolis before Chicago was packing cNnter.

alleged crookedness,

NEW YORK, October 9.-Charles Frohman
and W. W. Randall were informe1 on Thurs
day night by Jas. Hogg, friend of E. Crow
ley, that unless the scene of "The Shep-
herds Fold, in "a Wall Street Bandit" now
playing at the Standard Theater. was omit
ted after Saturday night, the piece would
be enjoined and a suit for damages for libel
begun. The defendants would be James G.
Duff, Frohman and Randall, A. c. Gunter
(author of the piece), and ]. Ii. Ferguson,
the actor who plays MORLEY" in the melo-
drama.
Crowley's ground for the complaint is that
the character is q libelous travesty OF him
himself Frohnan put the matter into tt
hands of counsel, and yesterday Hogg was
told that no change would be made in the
play, as the managers denied personal
affront on Mr.. Crowley was intended. To.
day papers will probably be served on the
managers, who last night, asserted their in

Crowley was once the head OF the Episco-
