DvFckMAN,s LIGHT SHORTAGE.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. cit has now been as
certained that the Indebtedness of DECK
man. the absconding member of the Mer-
Giants Exchange, on the floor will be
small. The total amount of his defalca-
ton will approximate 100000, represent
ing the inheritance of seven Meyer heirs
and the three Guyer heirs. His house, the
Meuntet-Borgess Milling company, has
not suffered heavily, nor will his creditors
here and in Chicago among the speculat-
ing Fraternity be hurt by their
losses. The mothers of the
children who have been cruelty wronged
are chief bondsmen of Dieckman, so their
loss will be the total or largely so. This Is
remarkable, as everybody was anxious.
John Mercer. one Of the Meyer heirs, has
attached $4,000 shares of capital stock of
the Ruby Trust Milling company. This,
together with the 81 900 stock in the
M8intet-Borgess Milling company are the
only visible assets TO be placed against
the heavy gap of his shortage.
Last Friday afternoon Dieckman went
vent to the office of DR.. Frank L. James
and begged him to give him something to
commit suicide with, so it would appear
he died a natural death. He said that his
honor and his money were all gone and
and that he had stolen. The doctor, of
course refused bis request and he left.

A BIG FAILURE.

CHICAGO, Feb. Am Inter-Oeean spe-
cial from Columbus, o., says: The Ohio &
Western Coal and Iron company has
failed. Glidden & Curtis, the Boston
banking firm which collapsed a few days
ago. were backing the COM
pany and the embarrassment of
the bankers through the Pacific
Guard company's misfortunes is supposed
to have brought about the crash in the
affairs of the Ohio company. Attachments
were today against alhthe company's Co
lumbus property by the Hooking Valley
railroad. whose claim is for POI 500.
Other suits have been filed by
parties residing in Cleveland and else
where. The company has been doing a
heavy business in the manufacture
of iron, and its furnaces in the Hooking
valley are among the largest and best In
the west. 1t is claimed that the assets are
large, but that for some reason the COM
pany has been unable TO collect on
accounts long since due, and that
the Boston failure may have
only havened an inevitable crisis. The
company was capitalized for $. COS. 900 in
bonds and 5000, 900 in stocks. OF the
latter it is understood Glidden & Curtis
controlled seven-eighths- The firm is said
TO have advanced the company $4,000.

How Canvasser for Religious Paper
Captured a Jersey Town.


Captured "A Jersey Town.
Benevolence beamed from his eyes. His
nose had piety in its straightness Of con-
tour. Over his lips language gently tricliled
as honey from an overfull hive In short,
he was first-class canvasscr for relg-
ious newspaper, and this is the story he
told the Topical Talker Of the Pittsburgh
Dispatch: Last summer | was pushing a
New York religious journal in the detained
villages of Central New Jersey. One after
noon | reached little place which can very
appropriately be called Sleepyvllle. 1t was
the drowsiest collection Of houses, human
beings and cows, especially COWS that had
encountered all that summer But it was
prosperity, plenty to eat and drink, plenty
of time to do both, which made the village
close its eyes half the day and all night.
II went straight to the minister's house.
Never think of going anywhere else first,
my boy, if you are a canyassing for relig-
ious paper. The minister was nice fell
low, and booked HIM early in the day. De
pressed me 10 stay 70 supper. II was warm,
the minister was entertaining, his quarters
comfortable, so stayed. After supper the
minister had 10 go to prayer meeting. He
asked me 70 go along. IL was not ny cue
to refuse. I went.
"After there had been some praying done
and hymn had been sung the minister
rose and, looking at me, said: We viii
now ask Brother - meaning me, 10
lead in prayer
81 thought mighty quick for about ten
seconds; my thinking fywheel few around
II was question Of policy / was debating
In that interval Then I said: For res-
son which / shall be very glad 70 explain
after the meeting is over, must beg 70 be
excused from leading the prayers
The pastor accepted my declination
gracefully and called upon somebody else.
After the meeting was over / went up 70
the minister and said: The reason ! did
not acsept your kind invitation 20 lead in
prayer was that / vas afraid ny motives
might be misunderstood You see my bust
ness Is 70 obtain subscriptions for q certain
religious paper. II had led Ia prayer
some members Of your congregation would
have been sure TO have suspected ne Of
trying 70 advertise my paper in church
Neither l nor my employers would tol-
crate such suspicion for moment
" The minister was profuse in his praise
Of NY straightforward methods ! th.1k be

ception they subscribed for tns paper.

SOUTHERN REPUBLICANS.
Legislation They Desire-They Will Not
Press a Southern Man for the Cabinet.

Judge Russell, of North Carolina. has been
added to the committee of five republican
members-elect to the Fifty-frst Congress. here
tofore selected to look after the interests of
the south under the next administration. The
committee has informally talked over affairs,
but nothing will be decided upon until Judge
Russelrs arrival. The purpose of the commit
tee is to ascertain the prevailing sentiment of
the republicans of the south on various public
questions, and then to communicate this senti-
ment to the republican leaders in the north
The committee has received nearly two hun
dred letters from prominent republicans in
every state in the south. These letters adyo-
cate the repeal of the tobacco tax, the passage
OF national election law, and the passage Of
the Blair educational bill. Many of them favor
the entire abolition of the internal revenue
system. The writer's generally say it would be
encouraging to the republicans of the south if
a southern man was given place in the cabi-
net, but that they do not wish any demand
therefor to be made upon Gen. Harrison Bax-
ter. OF Tennessee, and Bradley, of Kentucky,
seem to be the favorites for Acknowledgement.
and Malone, Judge Houk, of the committee,
says. appears TO be an almost universal fayorite
for Postmaster-General.
