THE $4,000 DISCOVERED.
Mrs. Warner Gives an Accounting
of the Warner IL Morgan Ma
chine Company'S Affairs.

chine COmpany'S Affairs.
On Dec. Is. there was published i'll
the SUNDAY GLOBE an article concern
ing the affairs Of the Warner 81 Morgan
Machine company, taken from an inter-
view with l. IL. Lawrence, the assignee,
which, as seen below, was misleading
and miSrepreSeuted the facts.
Mr.. S. G. Warner, secretary and
treasurer of the company, who returned
in January last, has handed the GLOBE
letter from Mr.. Lawrence as follows:
st. Paul, Mimi, March 3, 1885,
Samuel G. Warner, ESq.-Dear Sir:
Referring to the statement concerning
YOU. published IN the st. Paul DAILY
GLOBE, Dec. Is, 1887, ] have to say,
that the only portion of that article
authorized by me is that concerning the
assets and liabilities of the Warner IL
Morgan Machine company, which l had
obtained chiefly from others, and that
without having had time to prepare a
thorough statement of their condition.
/ did not state, nor intimate that your
absence from the city had any connec-
ton with the embarrassment of the
company. Yours truly,
l. III. LAWRENCE.
Mr.. Warner says that on Nov. l. 1887,
were as follows:
Smith shop tools S545 O5
Foundry tools Observation-Disclosures. Icy 70
Machine shop tools. Id ,4S4 81
Patterns. :....... 4Ol 90

Land never estimated at less than 5000 90
street ,..'....... 1000 90
Merchandise at shop (estmated). 5000 90
Total .S55, SIS 81
This differs materially from the
figures given i'll the former article (Over
$37, 1000. Mr.. Warren says that the
causes of embarrassment were briefly:
Insufficiency of capital, QeSs than $780,
0O0,) the falling due simultaneously OF
payments on new shop and machinery,
costing nearly $4,000, refusal Of banks
to renew notes given by Mr.. Morgan in
payment of stock in the company and
discounted by them and failure to col
lect promptly funds on a large account.
He also says that the business of the
company, in common with that OF most
new enterprises in their initial year,
had not been profitable. A statement
taken from the books showing that dur
ing the seven months the shops were in
charge of Mr.. Morgan, from Feb. to
Sept. /, 1887, there was loss of over
5000, counting only the items of ma
terial consumed and labor, to which
would have to be added insurance, in
tereSt, advertising, general expense,
ETC., to obtain the full loss. The alb
Sence of Mr.. w. at the time prevented
the GLOBE from procuring these facts,
which should be given i'll justice to
him.

THE STRIKE NOT OVER.

A General Boycott of the -" coad Said
to be in Pre- ress OF Arrangement by the
Brotherhood5.
CHICAGO, May 1s.-The Tribune says an
attempt is being made to lave general
boycott declared against the Burlington
road. The first significant move by the
strikers and their sympathizers was the
calling Of a mass meeting. which was par
ticipated in by railroad employees from
every road centering in Chicago. An ac-
count of the meeting has never been made
public. Chairman Hoge explained that
the meeting was called to protest against
the carrying of revolvers by the
new employees of the 60" II
is understood, however, that the
preliminary steps were taken towards the
formation Of an amalgamation of the
railroad men from all the roads running
into Chicago. The second step was taken
yesterday when, in response to a call is
sued by Chairmen Hoge and Murphy, the
general grievance committee of the two
Brotherhoods met in secret session at the
National Hotel. Every division of the
road was represented, and Chief Arthur
and Grand Master Sergeant were present.
AS a result of the conference a call was
issued summoning all the leading West
ern roads grievance committee to Chi
cago. When questioned about this move
Mr.. Arthur said: "You will have to wait
for developments. 1 can simply assure
you that the strike is not over by long
ways"

The Break in the sny Levsc.

QUINCY, Ill, May 1S.-With the break

devastation and utter ruin set in.
In all five breaks occurred through

were wrecked in all directions as the
flood swept onward deluging farm after
farm until over fifty thousand acres of the
richest farming land in the Mississippi
valley are submerged.
The territory now under water extends
from twenty to thirty miles along the
river, and from four to six miles wide.
Heavy rain has been pouring down all
day, adding fresh discomfort to the hum
dreds of families rendered destitute and
homeless by the floods.
HANNIBAL, Mo-, May 1S.-Eight distinct
breaks in the levee, through which i'm
mense volumes of water are pouring in
upon the possessions of the Sny island
farmers, are reported this morning.
Many Of the farmers have immense
fields of wheat that had promised an
abundant yield, but are now entirely
ruined. The farmers generally had ample
notice and had removed their household
goods and stock to higher ground or to
this city.
There were number of narrow escapes,
however, and a man named Robert King,
who was working on the levee, is missing,
and his fate is unknown.
The loss occasioned by the break, and
the consequent devastation, can not fall
short of three-quarters OF a million dol

throughout the Southern States the weather
has been generally favorable for the growing
crops, although more rain is needed. The cool
nights have retarded the growth OF young cot

west and Ohio valley the cold weather during
the week has prevented any marked improve
ment in the crop condition Notwithstanding the
abundance of rain in those sections. Damaging
frosts occurred from Michigan southwark to
Northern Alabama. Reports from Minnesota
state that the weather conditions have been
generally favorable for crops, though too cold
for rapid growth. Reports from Kansas, No

praises of the wealth Of her great
prairies and of her moral and God.
fearing people, but in the next bulle'
tins issued to the country she will
hardly whoop Stevens county up to
any great extent. That county is not
pleasant place for quiet man to
take his family. The people Of Stevens
county are gocd neighbors and all
that, but have eccentrities that would
annoy peace-loving fellow. Some.
times in Kentucky families and neigh.
bors get little at outs and run list
of disturbing vendetta but IN Stevens
county, Kansas, two towns have
furnished feud which makes it red
hot for the rest Of the county. Two
years ago Woodsdale and Hugaton
were rivals for the county seat. Huga.
ton got it and feud arose increasing
in intensity ever since. The Woods
dalers and Hugatoners look upon each
other as natural enemies. 1t has been
the practice for two years for the
Hugatoners, when they caught a
Woodsdaler out alone, to mop the
ground up with him, and when a
Woodsdale crowd could tree aHugaton
when the Hugaton got home his wife
ran for the arnica bottle and some one
else for the doctor. A long course
of mutual elimination, recrimination
and scrimmages have resulted in a
more intense feeling, and now when
the two factions meet the arnica bot.
tie is unused and the doctor gets out
his forceps or something and goes to
probing for Winchester pills. 1t is
the solemn conviction of the Hugatons
that Woodsdale man was made to
shoot bullets into, and a Woodsdaler
thinks a Hugaton never looks as
handsome as when he lies with his
toes turned up among the daisies.
The effect has been very marked in
reducing the population of Stevens
county in the past two weeks, and as
both towns have just received a new
supply of Winchesters and fixed am
munition it is likely to be still more
diminished. With the present state
Of feeling in Kentucky both towns
would be wiped out in twenty-tour
hours, but there seems to be saving
clause in the character of the Woods
dalers and Hugatons which saves
them from complete determination.
Either is willing and anxious to kill
the other, but as a condition prece.
dent he must get the drop on him.
All the killing that has been done, so
far, has been assassination. 1t is the
apprehension of this fact that keeps
the governor from rushing loops into
Stevens county. When people insis,
on getting the drop before killing the
slaughter never gets general, because
the other parties keep away from the
drop. But all the same, Stevens
county is not an attractive place for a
peace.loving immigrant, and Kansas
wont whoop her up much in the next
immigration documents.
