as an apple growing region is
spreading far and wide. Saturday,
says the Salem Statesman, gen
tleman here received orders from
Colorado Springs, Colorado, for a
car load of Oregon apples. The
Colorado man offered such prices
that the shipper can afford to pay
81 per bushel for apples delivered
onthe cars in bulk. This certainly
offers much to producers here, for
by a little care the orchards will
yield abundantly each year.
Apple growing has been neglected
to great degree and no effort has
been made to kill the insects.
But change is not far ahead and
hereafter Oregon orchards will be
given the attention they deserve.

 PARIS, March S.-The sensation of the day here was the blow given that great financial concern, the Compton d Escompte, by the suicide of M Dentort- Rochereau, its man. aging director, in consequence of its compli- cations with the copper syndicate. There was tremendous run on the bank
 Had relief not come from the United States. through the action of the managers of the American mines, there would have been a crash, nor is the danger entirely over vet. The excitement which caused the run on the Compton d'Escompte subsded later in the day, with the assurance that the copper syn dicate had tided over its peril Shares of the bank closed at 665 francs, which shows that it has not been seriously shaken Uneasiness with reference to the syndicate has not en- tirely disappeared Thus what threatened to be 0 panic has been averted; but confidence cannot be thor oughly restored until the sui eide of NJ. Denfort Roc hereau and the failure and flight of NJ. Ephrussi, a son-in-law of the Rothschiids, who was short on copper stocks. are explained.

DEATH DEFEATED HIS PLANS.
Philanthropist Williamson Dies Before
 Signing His VIII.


 PHIIADELPHIA, March S-Isaiah V. Will. ta1nson, the venerable millionaire philanthropy tst, died at f o'clock in the morning. His wEt which was to have left S1 600, 900 to the Mechanical Training school was left unsigned The will he made twenty years ago will probably stand. Mir. Williamson was per haps the richest bachelor in the United States. He was born at Pen,s Manor, Bucks county, Pa, eighty-seven yaars ago He was the son of poor farmer and had many carly prlvations He was q member of the firm of Williamson, Burrough & Co, who carried on the dry goods business on Market street above Second. He was very successful in business, and retired iron active work many years ago. The crowning act of Mr. William sons philanthropic life was the gift of S2, 5o0,- Ooo for the founding of the Williamson free school of technical tra les
 The Industrial school will be built on the site which had been examined three times by the trustees. the last Jime week ago today, when MT. Williamson went with them It is situated on the West Chester branch of the Pennsylvania railroad, abo,sl two miles be yoid Media. On Tuesday tho trustees for mally approved the property, and when that intelligence was conveyed to Mr. Williamson, te at once approved of the decision and sent hls conmendation to the trustees
 Later in the day his unsigned will was pre- sented to him, and he is sad to have remarked that he was much better and thought he would live for some time yet, adding that he wished to make some further arrangements about hls school before he signed the will dlS physicians last week ha l told him that if he had any importan: business to transact he ought not to delay i: one moment He felt differently about the matter, and a will that he made seventeen years ago will stand as hls last testament In consequence many charitable institutions and some individuals will not receive the baQuasts Mfr Williamson intended they should, and the feeling of re- gret will be general, when it is known that the Home for IncurableS especially will be deprived of the endowment which he often said he intended to give it.

They Will Get Out of Canada Before the
 Weldon BIll Becomes q Law.
 MONTREAL, March S.-The exposure of the scheme of the American boodlers and default CTS to raise bribery fund with which to de- feat the bill introduced into parliament by Professor Weldon has created a sensation in this city.
 John c. Enc, who is credited with the con- ception of the bribery fund, did not 20 to Ottawa as was intended. Instead he sent several dispatches, and when approx ched by reporter denied that he hsd come here for the purpose of conferrng with anybody about the Weldon bill and calmly said: "Any- how the bill does not interest me, for am not affected by it's provisions"
 It was a dangerous thing for any one to ap- proach any of the aldermanic boodlers. They were all foaming at the mouth and threatening all sorts of dreadful things to the men who gave them away. Tie idea that parliament could be bought by parcel of well known American thieves was q sumner to the Canadians Every respecta ble man roundly denounced them and the judges on the benches spoke ill the strongest condemna- tory terms of the matter
 Montreals crown prosecutor began making inquiries and says that if he can discover any evidence upoa which to bass a charge of con splracy against the men he will yank then up instantcr and give ssch two years in the penltentary. A petition is being circulated and will be sent to Ottawa, with thousands or names, asking parliament to pass the bill, which will go through now with rush
 The boodlers are making active prepara- tions to leave the country, and those who have invested in business or property hers are casting about for means of quietly selling out

 It was then within two minutes of o'clock, and ten minutes later Wechsung wa discovered lying in his blood fearfully mutllated The discovery was made by Fl. McCreary, who deals in brass in the base ment
 The body of Wechsung lay on the floor al bloody and mangled.

 A doctor was called and he discovered tha, the poor clerks skulls had been cut into small pieces by the edge of the hatchet. Througb the several gashes the brain protruded. and the blood still continued to flow from his gasned and torn hands and from wounds in ms neck and face. The overcoat was cut through and through in several places, and it was clear that his assailant had thrown if over him while enpaoad in tho po.i, o+ murder
