Heirs in Hungary and In Ohio After the
Estate Of WIN. LeIdesdorfE.
SAN Francisco, July 26.-Suit will
soon be brought here by counsel represent
ing heirs in Hungary and in Cleveland, o.,
against the present holders Of the estate Of
William Leidesdorf, one of California; 8
pioneer merchants, who died in 1S4S. The
estate is now valued at SAC, ,OoO, 600, and com
prises some of the most valuable business
property in San Francisco. This property
is held under deeds from ex-United States
Quartermaster Folsom, who was an in
innate friend of Leidesdorf and bought
property from the administrator after Leid-
esdorff died intestate. The story goes that
mother living at St. Croix. West Indies,
and got from her quit-cIaim deeds
of all the estate Now these
Hungarian heirs are ready to prove that
Folsom originated the story of a negress
mother, and that Leidesdorf was really
born at Azsood, Hungary, where he has
many direct kin. About 100 heirs met in
Buda-Pesth in June, and furnished Solomon
Ulimer, of Cleveland, with money To prose-
cute their claims. Ullmer has also made a
syndicate of heirs in Cleveland and the bat
tie will soon begin.
1t is also reported that San Francisco
capitalist has pooled the issues of all the
Blythe claimants except Florence, the
daughter, who claims the entire estate and is
bearing the expenses of the contest under an
agreement by which she is to secure, in case
OF victory, the entire estate worth "a, ,OOO, 600,
after paying them 81, 900, 600, to be divided
among about 80 claimants.

Decision In the Case of a Pension Dropped
for Dfsloyalty and Restored.

Decision In the Case of a Pension Dropped
for Dfsloyalty and Restored.
WASHINGTON, July 26.-Assistant Sec
retary Bussey has modified former deci-
sion made by the then Commissioner of
Pensions in the case OF James A. Furley,
who received disabling injury while
serving in the Mexican War in company G.,
Second Pennsylvania volunteers. For this
reason Furley was granted pension of ss
per month, which he continued to draw
until April 10, 1868, when he was arrested
at Hagerstown, Md, for hurrahing in the
streets for JEFF Davis and the Southern
Confederacy and making use of other dis
loyal and reasonable sentiments. At that
time his name was dropped from the pension
rolls under the authority conferred by the
act Of February 4, 1852. In 1871 an appli-
cation for restoration was filed and rejected.
In 1887, however, the case was taken up by
the then Commissioner of Pensions, and
FurIey's loyalty having been established,
the pension was allowed from 1871, the date
of fling his application.
Assistant Secretary Bussey, while agree
ing with the former Commiss ioner as to
Furiey's right to pension, finds no au-
thorlty for dating it from the time the ap-
piication was filed, and directs that it be
dated from April 10, 1858. when it ceased.
He says in substance that if the action OF
dropping Furley's name from the rolls was
erroneous, then he is entitled to reparation,
and the reparation must be as ample as the
injury. If it was not erroneous, there can
be no restoration for any period.

THE ATCHISON FIGHTS FIRE.

oe0 Worth Through Lack of Water.
Topeka, KAN, July 26.-At about 5
o'clock this morning fire started in the
attic of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
general Office building in this city. The
flames originated in a heap of papers, and
smouldered for an hour before being seen.
When the fire department arrived the doors
were closed, and the janitors and others who
stop in the building had to be awakened.
In the few minutes required for the depart
ment to go to work the fire had gained
great headway, and the entire north end of
the roof was burning. throwing out huge
volumes of smoke. 1t was difficult to get
at the fire, as it had not yet burned the roof
and was not approachable by the fremen
from within. In spite of their efforts the
fire gained on them, and at O'Clock the
water main burst, shortly after the flames
burst through the roof. Meantime several
hundred men were at work in the various
departments of the building, in the effort to
save the furniture and books and papers.
This was proceeded with in remarkable
order, and nearly everything movable of
value below the fifth floor was taken out
1t was feared owing TO the lack of water
that the magnificent building must be de-
stroyed, but in half an hour the breach in
the pipe was repaired and renewed efforts to
stay the fire were successful The total loss
viii not exceed 0,000, though what en-
barrassment and loss to accrue from the de-
struction of papers cannot now be estimated.

calamities,, almost IL not quite as
serious as this-suddenly famed out. We
believe that, as has been shown by wit
nesses, he galloped away many miles over
the country, but we believe that at last
wrought up to the highest pitch of frenzy he
returned, scaled the wall, opened the win
dow, and murdered Miss Carne. You have
heard that he was subject to moody fits,
when he Stunned all society, these fits, these
wild rides you have heard OF, are symptoms
of disordered mind. Perhaps had all gone
happily with him the malady would not
have shown itself in more serious form.
"Unfortunately, as we know, there was
sharp and sudden unhappiuess; such un-
happiness as tries the fiber even of the
sanest men, and might we'll have struck q
fatal blow to his mind. It is not because
you see him now, calm and selfpossessed,
that you are to conclude that this theory is
a mistaken one. Many, even the most dam
gerous madmen have long intervals when,
apparently, their sanity is as perfect as that
OF other people. Then suddenly, sometimes
altogether without warning. a Change takes
place, and the quiet aud seifpossessed man
becomes a dangerous lunatic, perhaps
murderer.
"Such, gentlemen, is the theory of the
prosecution. You will, of course, weigh it
carefully in your minds, and it will be
your duty, if you agree with it, to give e1-
preston to your opinion in your verdict"
The Judge summed up the case with great
care. After going through the evidence
piecemeal, he told them that while the
counsel for the defense had insisted upon
the uncertainty of circumstantial evidence,
and the numerous instances of error that
had resulted from it, it was his duty to tell
them that in the majority of cases Of murder
there cnulH he from the -1ature of thiupS
only circumstantial evidence to 60 upon,
for that men did not commit murder in the
open streets in sight of other people. At
the same time, when circumstantial evil
dence alone was forthcoming, it was neces-
sary that it should be of a most conclusive
character, and that juries should before
finding a verdict of guilty be convinced
that the facts showed that it was the pris-
oner and he only who could have done the
deed.

LONDON July 25-Sman shipments from the
Straits during the first half of July have i'm
parted greater frmness to the block tin mar
ket, and prices show 3 decided improvement,
being not only higher but well supported the
past few days. On Thursday last there was l5s
rise, but the higher prices caused realizations,
with some pressure to sell forward prompts
and free offerings of options, under which a
relapse Of 2Os took place. The option business
has been large during the week, the ''bulls''
backing their opinions and paying 106l5s per
ton for calls during August on large quanti-
ties at prices varying between ESQ and f91. The
'bear" interest are rather aggressive, and by
their movements create a division of opinion
among operators as to future prices. The
statistical position is sound and the consump-
tion is steady. A further advance was paid to-
day, sales having been made at 600 IS, spot, and
ego lbs, futures.
The variations in prices Of merchant bar
copper have been moderate. Cash lots con-
t1nue in fair demand and are not plentiful Ill
During the first half of the week s4 was paid

Of prompts and futures touched f40 2s Cd. The
was attributed to suspicious that foreign
holders are quietly selling and the same cir
cumstance still has bearing upon futures.
Tin plate has been in quite active demand,
and sales were larger than in the preceding
week. Severaf good lines were booked, and
additional large orders are pending.
Scotch pigs have continued active. with the
American demand, as well as the inquiry from
many other sources, stronger than last week.
Prices now show a complete recovery from the
June decline. The demand from spectators
has been large, and the purchase of one block

pig and hematites are also active at further
advance. Additional furnaces are lighting.
There is an immense trade doing in the steel

has been advanced los all around.
About the only exception to the quite general
activity is found in wire rods and billets.
Holders of old iron rails have advanced their
prices about Is Cd, but there are very few
buyers at the higher figures.

CHIEF HAYES DETERMINED.
The Cherokee Commission Expects TO b
Delayed for Months By Him.


Delayed for Months By Him.
FIT. GIBSON, IND. T., July 26.-The
Cherokee Commission was met here yester-
day by delegation of Greek Indians headed
by Indiau Agent Bennett, who asked that
the Creeks be heard at once in reference TO
certain technical matters concerning the
sale of their remaining lands. The request
was granted, and General Fairchild has ar.
ranged to meet the Creeks at Muscogee To-
day. The hard feeling between the Greeks
aud Cherokees grows more bitter as pending
negotiations come to focus. The Chero-
KEGS upbraid the Creeks for the Oklahoma
deal, and their indignation increases as the
Creeks make further preparation to sell.
The Cherokees are almost a unit in their op-
position to any and all transactions by which
their lands are to be marketed.
Chief Mayes demonstrated frnness in
refusing to call the council that bids fair to
handicap the labors of the commission at
their outset He is reported to have pub
hcly stated to the commanding officers at
Fort Gibson that he would not cali an extra
session under any circumstances. General
Fairchild expressed desire tn confer with
the chief at Tahlequah as soon as possible,
ostensibly with the object of inducing him
to call an extra session at once. During the
delay that must ensue before the delegates
assemble the General says the commission
will go to Cheyenne and Arrapahoe agency
to consider their claims in the Cherokee
strip.
! The most important fact that has occurred
to the commission thus far is the length to
which the negotiations must be psotracted,
and, with the present hostility demonstrated
by the Cherokee authorities it may be sew

before he had finished. the interruption was

go back, SIR" the judge then said to the
foreman. "You must be unanimous ss to
the whole of your verdict"
The interruption of the prisoner had en-
lightened those in court as to the nature of
the foreman's question. Undoubtedly he
had OWNED rightly. The jury were in
favor Of the verdict not guilty, but some of
them would have added on the ground Of
insanity. The interruption, although
irregular, if not unprecedented, had Q
favorable effect upon his hearers, The
quickness with which the accused had
seized the point, and the steady, resolute
voice In which he had spoken told in his
favor, and many who before, had they been
in the jury box, would have returned the
verdict of not guilty on the ground of in
sanity, now doubted whether they would
add the concluding words.
A quarter Of an hour later the jury re-
turned
"We are now unanimous, my lord. We
say that the prisoner at the bar is not
guilty"
A sound like sigh of relief went
through the court. Then everyone got up,
and there was a movement to the doors.
The policeman lifted the bar, and Ronald
Mervyn stepped out q free man, and in Q
moment was surrounded by a number of
his fellow officers, while some of his neigh
bors also pressed forward to shake him by
the hand.
81 will shake hands with no man." he
said, drawing back; 81 will greet no man so
long as this cloud hangs over me-so long as
it is improved who murdered Margaret
Carne."
"You don't mean it, Mervyn. You will
think better of il in few days, zone of his
fellow officers said, as he emerged into the
open air. "What you have gone through
has been an awful trial, but now that you
are proved to be innocent you will get over
it."
'I am not proved to be innocent, though
am not proved to be guilty. They have
given me the benefit of the doubt, but to the
end of nv life half the world will believe
did it. Do you think would go through
life to be pointed at as the man who mur-
dered his cousin? 1 would rather blow out
my brains tonight No, you will never
see me again till the verdict of guilty has
been passed on the wretch who murdered my
cousin. Goodby. 1 know that you believe
me innocent, but will not take your hands
now. When you think it over, and will
see as we'll as do that you couldn't have
man in the regiment against whom men as
he passed would whisper, Murderer God
bless you all" and Ronald Mervyn turned
and walked rapidly away. One or two of
the officers would have followed him, but
the Colonel stopped them.
Leave him alone, lads, leave him alone.
We should feel as he does were we in his
place. Good heavensl how he must have
suffered. Still, he's right, and however
much we pity him we cannot think other
wise. At the present moment it is clear
that he could not remain in the regiment"
As soon as the crowd had turned awayt
Dr. Arrowsmith made his way to the poin,
where Ruth had been standing. Somewhat
to his surprise he found her still on her feet.

tons less than in the last half OF 1888; 131,
900 less of Northern iron, apparently, and
81, 900 tons more of Southern iron. But
production has been in excess Of the de-
mand.
OTHER SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT.
The signs of improvement in the woolen
business are less clear, but manufacturers
have been buying more freely, and there has
been some increase in the orders for goods.
The confidence in large fall trade is un.
diminished. There is feeling that the
force of foreign competition will be less felt
hereafter. The harvest season for boots and
shoes has commenced well. The coal busi-
ness is dull and weak No change appears
in copper; tin is more steady at 1880 cents
for spot, and lead at $50 cents.
AN EASY MONEY MARKET.
The monetary supply is at all reporting
points ample, and the complaints Of slow
collections are fewer than usual. The
Treasury has taken in s., ,000, 600 more than
it has paid out during the week, but the ex-
ports OF gold have been for the moment ar
made against grain and cotton to 20 abroad.
The exports from New York for three weeks
of July have exceeded last years by 151<
per cent, though the imports are also large.
In the stock market depression has been
followed by a stronger feeling, and the
average of prices is fraction better than a
week ago, with rather more hopeful pros
poets as to the settlement Of difficulties be-
tween Chicago and the seaboard.
The business failures number 216, as
against a total of 20S last week and 209 the
week previous. For the corresponding
week of last year the figures were 221.
