GONE TO CANADA.
A Chicago Board of Trade Man u
Heavy Defaulter.

CHICAGO, Oct. 11.-An afternoon paper says
N. NJ. Neeld, partner in the well known pack
ing house Of J. G. Ferguson u Co., is In Can
ada. He has issued bogus warehouse receipts
for people aggregatng $4,000. lie has prac-
ticaly busted the firm. The loss will fall
altogether on banks, $4,000 on a single New
York bank. "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
Thursday night and no one has heard from
him." Neeld was a flne-looking man, about
IS years old. He was managing partner In
the firm Of J. c. Ferguson 81 Co., which was
very oldand rich, and came originally from Ind
annapolis. He has been a big Spectator ON
b GARD and in stocks. No particulars are yet
obtainable concerning the failure. Ferguson
is locked in his private office and refuses to
make any statement whatever until in the day
and after he has has had an opportunity to
ascertain exactly The extent of the disaster
that has overtaken the firm. The firm Of j. @.
Ferguson Il Co. is an old one and stock high.
They owned q warehouse and this was made
regular short time ago. 1t Is stated that
Neeld issued a number Of fraudulent ware
house receipts, and that Chicago and New
York banks issued money on them to the ex-
tent above stated. Neeld was one of the dir
ectors Of the Chicago board of trade.
The firm was composed of J. G. Ferguson,
Z. s. Ferguson, son. Goolbury, Of Liverpool,
Necld, son-in-law, and Howard, also a son-n-
law. The latter had his headquarters In New
York, and from that place managed the ship
ments for that season. Some of the banking
was done there. The New York Corn Ex-
change bank is the heaviest loser, being
100000 in the hole: First National, Metro
politan, Illinois National and probably
number of others. The Continental is the
smallest loser among the banks. 1t is ex-
pected that Need was not shrewed business
man. He was the cause Of the failure Of his
father -in-law some years ago. Mrs. J. @.
Ferguson, however, was very wealthy and
loaned money to start the house here. She
now holds mortgage on 1t. The defalcation
grew, it is beleved, through many years, and
it is presumed that 1t started with no real dis
honest motive. But the buyers receipts were
soon beyond his control, and before he left he
SUNK everything out Of sight. The house OF
J. c. Ferguson IL Co. is one that has been In
existence for 25 years. Tt was In existence In
In Annapolis before Chicago was packing
center. Neeld married daughter Of J. G.
Ferguson, whom he has now ruined through
his crookedness. He, and son of the senior
Ferguson, Edward, moved here and opened
house at the yards about two years ago.
Neeld has been managing partner ever since.
For a number of years this really has been

business with England and rated as high as
any firm in the trade. Although, Of course,
not doing business on such scale as one or

THE CHICAGO STRIKE.
The Strikers Have Increased TO
Twenty-Five Thousand Men.

CHICAGO, Oct. n.-At O'Clock one hundred
and fifty Pinkerton men, armed with Win
chesters, marched from the Planter House
and were installed as garrison at the Wash
ington butcher aud packing house. The
number Of strikers Saturday morning had in
creased to twenty-five thousand. Beefmen
are still working in Armour's, but 1t is under
stood that they viii leave soon. The beef
men are also still working at Fowler's, Swift's
and Morris places. One hundred and fifty
girls in Armour's canning shop quit Saturday
morning, as did all the coopers in the yard,
At ten O'Clock a crowd OF nearly ten thousand
men were standing around waiting for their
weeks wages, but everything was quiet. Lake
Shore engines were forced to leave the yards
when they drew up to the packing houses this
morning, for striking butchers swarmel about
them, and, without violence, drove them out,
1t is rumored that the packers have appointed
. committee to adjust the difficulty with the
men. 1t is asserted that the packers are will
Ing to pay the same rate per hour for ten
hours work as they have been paying for
eight, but the report can not be verified.
Many Of the men assert that only an eight
hour day will be agreed to.
Mr.. Cudahy, the manager at Armour's, said
that there was nothing In the story, 1t had
been agreed among the packers to pay winter
wages, beginning next Monday, instead of on
Nov. l, as is customary. This will be an av
erage increase of SOC a day to the skilled, but
no advance to the laborers and will be adopt
ed weeks earlier than usual rs guarantee
Of good faith between the employers and men.
Tho opinions of the men on this offer seem
unanimous, and they say 1t will not be accept
ed. Receipts Of cattle and hogs at the yards
were about half what they are usually. Com
mission men have advised their customers not
to ship any more cattle, and kilograms OF in
quiry as to the condition OF things are receiv-
ed all the time. About 200 coorcrs and as
many tinsmiths joined the ranks of the
striking housemen Saturday. The freight
business of the Kansas railroads is about at
standstill, and not more than half the usual
number Of engines are at work in the yards.
Up to late hour Saturday night there had
been no trouble, but the proprietors of the
various packing houses were extremely anx-
ious and had repeated conferences with the
town of Lake authorities and Capt. Foley, Of
Pinkerton's agency.

THE ANARCHISTS.
Judge Gary Decides Against the Motion
for New Trial.
August Spies, One OF the Anarchists,
Delivers a Speech,--Says He VIII
Die for the Cause OF Justice.

CHICAGO, Oct. S--Judge Gary yesterday
ov rruled the motion of the anarchists for
new trial and all of them but Neebe will be
sentenced TO death. At the request Of the
counsel, the prououncing of the death penalty
was deferred till afternoon.
The decision was not unexpected. The
court room was crowded with spectators. The
prisoners were present and received the an.
nouncement Of the decision without any out
ward show Of emotion. The Judge In sustain.
Ing the verdict OF the jury gave his reasons at
some length.
Judge Gary holds that the general teaching
Of the speakers at the haymarket was to In
cite to violence and that the drift Of evidence
was that the man who threw the bomb had
been educated up to II. The language OF the
statute, he said, Is that II the jury believes
the man who threw the bomb was acting un-
der the advice or teaching Of the defendants,
then, the instructions were all right, but there
WAS nothing in the evidence that would OK.
cuse or mitigate or extenuate the crime In any
degree. 1t was murder. Judge Gary then
asked the defendants II they had anything 10
say why sentence should not be passed upon
them.
August Spies was first to speak and delivered
a carefully prepared speech. Ee began by say
ing that he disclaimed responsibility for the
bomb throwing and said the witness, Legncr,
who was with him on the night Of the explo
sion and whose testimony would have vim
dictated him, was paid $500 and spirited
away to Buffalo by the states attorney and
and the detectives. The haymarket meeting
was a peaceable assembly and the seven
men killed were victims Of Bonfeld who
made the attack. he boosted he was an
anarchist and claimed that those who
advocated anarchy and socialism aimed to
| better the condition OF worklngmen. Revol-
utions, he said, came by force Of events and
were irresistible. The court might think that
by prououncng sentance, what now appeared
to be only spark a could be stamped out, but
he would find that a verdict would I'm
ally burst forth, and this verdict would only
hasten 1t. The tidal wave of social reform
could not be stopped BY few police or gatlng
guns. Spies was especially severe on Mr..
Grinnell and Captain Bonfeld. Speaking OF
the latter, Spies said, with great sarcasm, that
the artist Dore would have delighted in having
his face for model from which to paint
Dante's flends Of hell The speech occupied
an hour and half In It's delivery and was lie
tened to with the closest attention. 81 shall
die proudly and defiantly FOR the cause OF
justice" was Spies closing sentence.
Schwabe, Neebe and Lingg followed in short
speeches, after which court adjourned until
to- day. Parsons and Felden are to speak TO
day, and 1t is not expected that sentences will
be passed before late In the afternoon.

A DEMOCRATIC BLAST.

The Occasional, new Demo
cratic paper in Virginia City. pays
its compliments to Adams as fol
lows:
In the first number of the Occa-
sional it was announced, in a gen.
eral wav, that the paper would not
advocate the claims of unfit men
for nomination for Office. We now
particularize, and say that the Dc
casional will to the best Of its abil-
ity, and for the public good, oppose
the nomination by the State Dem
oeratic Convention of Jewett W.
Adams for Governor Governor
Adams has been Lieutenant Gov
ernor and Governor for twelve
years. Long enough, we believe
the people will say. for one man,
in State organized under Re
publican form of Government, to
occupy these positions. As Gov
ernor Adams is not the only man
in the Democratic party Of our
State we hold that he should, yea
must, be made to give way to some
other man.
We assert that Governor Adams
is an unfit mau for the office to
which he aspires. We hold that
he is not an available man, and,
that if nominated for Governor, he
will be defeated at the election, and
will carry down with him, perhaps.
the names of some good men. We
believe there are over three hun
dred Democrats in Storey county
who will if he is nominated, scratch
his name on election day from their
tickets. We claim that Governor
Adams does not possess one qualifi-
cation that entities him to rank
score of the prominent men of the
Democratic party of Nevada. To
the contrary, we hold that there
are score of men in the party who
oy exalted character, by intelligence
and BY general popularity far out
rank him in every honorable direc-
ton.
We hold that it is contrary to the
spirit of Republican institutions
that it is degrading-to give execu-
tive Offices to men who cannot
perform their duties.
We charge that in the perform
ance of public duties Governor
Adams endeavors to trim his sails
o catch the popular breeze. with
put regard to the right. We believe |
hat he has not performed discre- |
lonary public act that has been

PENSION PARASITES

lately vetoing pension claims. He
says it is an injustice to the desery

Of the pension claims are rushed

quorum of members is present.
Everyone will uphold Cleveland
IN the stand he has taken, and the
old soldiers more heartily than any.
1t is generally conceded that vast

money from the United States
Treasury in the guise of pension

SHEPARD IN JAIL

The Murderer of Lincoln Surrenders
Himself a: Seguin.
Mr.. Huge McGuffin, sheriff Of Guada-
loupe county, arrived In the city last
night having In custody Henry Shep-
ard, the barber, who killed Lorenzo
Lincoln on Saturday, the 3lst OF July,
last, and lodged him in the county jail.
In conversation with Mr.. McGuffin, that
gentleman said that Shepard has many
friends in Seguin, and he arrived In that
place on the Monday following the KILL
ing. On the night Of that day he saw
him in the distance, but he escaped by
passing through the house Of friend.
As the many friends Of his first wife
protected him, 1t was difficult to catch
him, but he had the lines laid so that
he could not leave town without arrest.
Just as he was making ready, yesterday,
for another hunt, Shepard walked in
and surrendered. Shepard stated that
he intended giving himself up. as he
considered he was justified in killing
Lincoln, but was afraid to do so at first.
Lincoln seduced his wife and caused
him much trouble. He again came here
further to corrupt her. On the morning
OF the killing, he cautioned Lincoln to
keep away from the house, and he
promised TO do so, and then he found
him there, and considered that he was
justified in killing the man.
