PIrTsBuRGH, Pa, August 3O.-The
death OF wm. NJ. Lloyd, at Altoona, was
announced to-day as having occurred
last night. The announcement recalls
the bankruptcy proceedings into which
Mr.. Lloyd was forced by the panic OF
1873. At the time his assets were among
the millions and hisliabilities about four
times as much as his assets. Mr.. Lloyd
was vel! known throughout the coun.
try, and his name was coupled with
many business transactions, owing to his
credit and standing. The deceased was

CHICAGO, August 3O.-Shortly after |
o'clock this morning Fred. Schuneman,
well known in Chicago, and employed
by the Philip Best Brewing Company,
was shot and killed by foot pads at the
corner OF Ada and Randolph streets.
Mr.. Schunclnan was on his way home.
1t is thought that he was being robbed
and attempted to defend himself. His
assailants cut one OF his pockets open to
get his money, and took his watch,
breaking the chain. They shot him
through the head and dragged the body
into an alley in the rear OF No. 0 Ada
street. The pistol shots were heard and
n search revealed the body. There is no
clue to the murderers.

Jackson found Morrison for two earned

ASSESSING THE BANKS.


A Great Stream of Democratic Corruption
and BlncItmaII Tapped.
CHICAGO, August 30.-A resolution in
troduccd in Congress Monday by Con-
gresham Mason provides for a thorough
investigation OF the relations OF the Ma
tional banks designated MS United States
repositories and the Administration. He
calls attention to the fact that it has been
charged that these institutions, which
are making $4,000 day off the $60, 900, :
600 deposited with them by the Govern
ment, have been called upon to subscribe
to the National Democratic campaign
fund, and that failure to subscribe means
the withdrawal OF deposits. An officer
OF the First National Bank Of this city
in talking OF the matter yesterday said ::
"Mr. Mason taps u great stream OF
corruption when he strikes at the reIa-
tions between the United States Treas
ury and Wall street. 1t has been the
hoast OF these GnaRciers that all they
want is the Secretary OF the Treasury.

and now they also have the President.

obliged to put up bonds, whose par
value is equal to the deposits while in
New York the market value of bonds is
taken as n basis for the rates Of deposits

cent in favor OF the bank. There is but
little probability that the Chicago banks,
in the face OF this, will be called upon to
make contributions to the Democratic

WASHINGTON, D. O., August SO.-The
Presidential political coup on the retail
atory policy towards Canada has turned
out flash in the pan. 1t was such 4
palpable scheme to divert public atten-
ton from the industry-wrcCking policy
of the Administration that not only the
people Of the United States, but the
press and statesmen OF England and
Canada from the beginning regarded the
message rs IN awkward political dodge.
1t was not expected, however, that the
movement would fail OF its purpose
quite so soon. The manner in which
the message las been received is regard
ed by sagacious politicians as the best
evidence of the hold which the tariff
issue has taken upon the people and OF
their determination to keep that to the
front in this campaign.
Representative Bayne and Others who
have been in New York and have had
conferences with members Of the Ma
tional Committee, have returned fully
convinced that the uphcaval which is
going on among the people will not be
checked by any political subterfuges, but
will keep on increasing in force down to
the day Of the election, The recNlcitrant
Republicans, Conkling henchmen and
side.issue voters, who cast their ballots
in the air four years ago, have signitled
their purpose to vote the old ticket. This
has led TO the statement from Mr.. Bayne
that Harrison and Morton will receive
10000 votes in New York which Mr..
Blaine did not get, which he should
have had in 1884.

How Could She.

A pretty good story is being told OF
a cook in a restaurant. A French
butcher calls on her every morning
to take her meat order, and although
the marketman claims he cannot
speak English or understand it intel
ligently, still he and the cook manage
to convey loving sentiments to each
other every morning. A few morn
ings ago the landlord happened to
walk into the kitchen just as the pair
were managing to convey these senti-
ments with the lips of one suspicious
ly close to the lips of the other. OF
course, when the cook saw the land
lord approaching, she kicked" and
shook her head and made as many
gestures to denote that she was of
Tended as she well could.
"Why don't you stop that French
man from kissing you, Mary? This
is the third time I've seen him do it, !"
growled the landlord. -
"But l can't do it, you know" re-
sponded the cook, quite innocently.
"Why?' inquired the landlord.

French ?"-Holyoke Democrat.
