PITTsBURG, Nov. 20.-The second days
session of the National Non-Partisan
Woman's Christian Temperance Union Yves
opened with religious exercises conducted
by Mrs. Martha A. Dietz, president of the
Illinois association. Letters and kilograms
from various parts of the country were
then read approving the work, and urging
the members to prosecute IL with vigor
until success finally crowned their efforts.
The annual election which followed was
a surprise, as a spirited contest for the presi-
dency was expected. The opposition to
Mrs. Phinney Of Cleveland for reelection
as president did not materialize, and she
was chosen again with but one dissenting
vote, which was cast for Mrs. Foster. The
other officers elected are: Vice presi-
dent, Mrs. Harriet G. Walker Of Minnesota;
general secretary, Miss #. Jennie Duly of
Cleveland; recording secretary, Mrs. Flor
ence Miller of Iowa, financial secretary and
treasurer, Mrs. G. G. Afford OF New York.

A FAILURE AT PHILADELPHIA.
Barker Bros. Close Their Doors, but
Make No Explanation.

BarEer Bros. Close Their Doors, but
Make No Explanation.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 20.-The fail
ure of Barker Bros. & Co., bankers and
brokers, was announced Oh the stock ex-
change this afternoon. The firm is COM
posed Of Abraham and Wharton Barker.
The firm at l o'clock stopped receiv-
ing deposits at their offices at Fourth
and Chestnut streets, and at lis
O'Clock the doors were closed. Members Of
the firm refused to make any explanati IN
of their troubles. The firm has of late been
doing very little business through the stock
exchange. An assignment has been made
to Edward Mellor, who is a son-in-law Of
Vibrator Barker.
CAUSE OF THE FAILURE
The failure has been caused largely by
various Improbable railroad Investments
Barker Bros. 81 Co. were identified with a
number of railroad schemes, which prudent
fnanciers and capitalists avoided, and when
the money striDgency came they found it
impossible to reahSe upon them. Among the
railroad securities with which the firm were
identified in recent years were the Ohio and
Northwestern, Oregon Pacific, San An
tonia and Arkansas Pass, and the Charles
ton, Cincinnati and Chicago, all of which
have drawn heavily upon the resources Of
the Barkers
BARKER IN OTHER COMPANIES.
Wharton Barker was president of the
Finance company of Pennsylvania, and
was director in the Investment Company
Of Philadelphia, of which latter company
he was formerly vice president. just be-
fore Barker's suspension was announced to-
day, meetings Of the directors of these
companies were called, apparently with
haste. What action was taken by the di-
rectory of either of the two corporations
was kept inviolably secret.
READY FOR A RUN.
At the Finance Companyis sofflcaEimme-
dlate preparations were made for an anticl-
pated run on its deposits, and subsequent
developments showed that the precaution
was we'll taken. A number of checks were
presented during the last hour of the days
business, and some accounts drawn out All
drafts made upon it were promptly met,
and Treasurer Stern assured a number of
persons who had accounts there that the
company was entirely solvent, and would
pay everything presented in the form of q
check or other demand.
CLAIM TO BE SOLVENT.
In the Office of the company after 8
O'Clock Charlemagne Tower, Jr., vice presi-
dent of the company, said that the Finance
Company was under no stress, but could
pay every obligation against it, and that
the meeting of the directors had no refer
ence to the Barker failure.
At the Investment comDany's Office Pres
ident Hoyt said that no action was taken at
the meeting OF the directors that could in
terest the public in any way, and that it

WANT 10 KEEP THEIR LEADER,

DUBLIN, Nov. u. United Ireland says:
"lreland's character for morality willinten.
sify the scorn Of the people for those oant-
ing hypocrites who think that publicity is
the essence Of sin. Now is the time to re.
pay Mr.. Parnell for his public services. In
reply to affected purists and Pharisees, we
say, We have our leader and mean to keep
him."
The Irish Catholic says Mr.. Parnell has
sinned nearly as much against Ireland as
against morality, but n grave political
exigency demands that he continue to be
the leader Of his party.

WHEN men like DR.. Joseph Kurtz an

WHEN men like DR.. Joseph Kurtz an
nounce themselves for county treasurer,
the attention of the community is at
once excited. DIR. Kurtz's name in this
community is a synonym for sterling
worth and responsibility. He has been
so long identified with the city and
county of Los Angeles that not to know
him is to augur ones self unknown. In
Adam Herold the people of the state of
California have state treasurer who
has given them ample satisfaction.
Elected on the ticket with the lamented
Bartlett, he will be reelected with
Pond. The nomination of DIR. Kurtz
would add great strength to the Demo-
cratic ticket. We have in our midst no
more valuable class than our German
American fellow citizens, and the Dem
ocratic county convention will do sa-
gacious thing by recognizing them in
the person of DR.. Kurtz. Should he be
nominated it would be equivalent to an
election, and his presence in the treas
urer's Office would be the strongest pos
sible guarantee that the copies money
would be forthcoming when called for.
He would not only receive every vote in
his party, but thousands who differ from
him politically would gladly support
him. He is emphatically the man for
the place.
Los Angeles herald. [volume] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1890-1893, 1890-10-04

A VERY suspicious thing for the Dem
ocratic campaign is the strong hands in
to which the conduct of the party's af-
fairs has passed. There was for some
time question as to whether the ener-
gy and ability OF Hon. William d. Eng
lish could be made good. That gentle-
man had directed the party's affairs so
successfully for so many years that his
services came justly to be rated very
high. His successor, Mr.. Russell Will
son, bids fair to earn marked distinction
in the role of chairman of the Demo-
cratic state central committee. He is
young, enterprising, indefatigable and a
thorough party man, and he is assisted
by staff whose efficiency is conceded
on all hands. Mr.. Wilson and his asso-
ciates will be aided, besides, by the
former chairman, who has taken off his
coat and buckled down to work con
amore, notwithstanding the fact that his
health has been none of the best for
some time past.

ALMOST CONSUMMATED.
The Transfer of the L. A. & P. R. R
to the Westinghouse Company.

Inc transfer OF the l.. "A. q +. X. X.
to the Westinghouse Company.
The representatives of the Westing-
house Electric company, Messrs. B. T.
Stewart and VIC. Clark, have thoroughly
inspected all the property OF the Los An
geles and Pacific railroad company, and
proposition from the latter is now be-
ing considered by the former. The
points of difference between the parties
interested are small ones, and the
chances are the transfer will soon be
made of the road to the Electric COM
pany. The Westinghouse company has
purchased all the most recent inventions
in the line of electric motors, both Eu-
ropean and American patents, and are
now engaged in building forty-6ve lines
in this country. The Los Angeles and
Pasadena, in connection with the San
Gabriel Valley Rapid Transit, will be
the first electric freight road in this
county. The company proposes to re-
duce the rate of passenger transit to the
lowest possible amount, and encourage
the culture of fruit and vegetables along
the line to the utmost extent, with a
view of increasing the freight.

THE Yorkshire Post scarifies British

THE Yorkshire Post scarifes British
Vice-consul Mortimer on account of a
passage in his late consular report re-
commencing his government to buy
army horses in this section. The Post
treats Mr.. Mortimer very cavalierly,
and suggests to the Foreign office that
it ought to replace him by Chinaman.
1t suggests that as the consul declares
that cheaper army horses can be had
in Southern California than in England,
England could get cheaper consuls
amongst Cinnamon than Mortimer, and
quite as efficient. If Mortimer survives
the assaults of the Yorkshire Post and
the Los Angeles chamber of COM
merce, he is bomb proof.

The Illustrated Annual Herald.

The most acceptable present you can
send to eastern friends is the Illus
trated Annual HERALD. There are
forty-eight large pages of fresh and re-
liable information about Southern Cali
fornia, including statistical matter of
the greatest value, relating to the eli
mate, crops, population, etc. There are
fifty fine Illustrations of local scenes, the
birdseye view of the city of Los Angeles
being alone worth the cost of the publ
cation. No gift would be more appreci-
ated in the east than copy of the An
nual HERALD. 1t may be obtained of
newsdealers, or at the HERALD business
office. Price 15 cents per copy.

SOME years ago the HERALD published

SOME years ago the HERALD published
an extract from an English journal in
which the question was asked by cor
respondent, "Where is California To-
cated?" The answer came promptly
and with great directness, California is
located in Los Angeles From the
prominence which is given Pasadena in
the councils of the Republican party
both in the state and hereabouts, Los
Angeles would appear to be loo ated in
Pasadena. In all likelihood, from the
murmurs heard on all hands, there will
prove to be a goodly number of Repub-
licans even in this county who do not
take that view OF the matter.
Los Angeles herald. [volume] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1890-1893, 1890-10-04

THE short-haired element of the Re-
publican party of Los Angeles will
scarcely put itself to any undue efforts
to elect the ticket that has been so long
incubating. The smiling Meredith may
affect indifference, and the other defeat
ed candidates may conceal their rage
under smiling exteriors, but there are
ranking sores that will not heal and
that bode great disaster to the Republi-
can ticket. Pasadena has shown great
skill in getting nominations, but they
will probably prove to be, Dead Sea ap-
pies.

that good men will be elected to the con-

which will name the winning ticket.
There ought to be general turn out of

rule and to get the candidates the people

The Philadelphia Record says: The
winter crop Of tramps In Bucks and

this year that ordinary measures for
driving them out have proved futile. and
the county authorities arc studying how
best they may dispose Of the trouble
some vagrants. On account Of the or
trcmcly mild winter tho tramps who
usually seek a warmer climc in the cold
months are lowering about tho comfort
able barns and haystacks in Bucks and

vagrants arc troublesome enough. but
tho hundreds Of intoxicated tramps are
even worse to deal with. and they not
only defy the orders to s'moyc on" but
also threaten violence to country folks

The famous mechanism was nothing

alley, and whenever one Of Doylcstown's

A TOWN IN DISTRESS.

Remarkable Flood Reported ut Colum-
biA, TEX. -Rcshlrnts Moving About In
II0ats-Al Business Suspended - The
Water Still Rising-Novel scene ~ =
Funeral
COLUMBIA, Tex, May 1.-THE condi-
tion Of this town is distressing in the
extreme. The river has risen steadily
for two weeks or more, until it has
overfiowed the community. The
first floors Of the residences are
submerged, the occupants being driven
into the upper stories. From one
storied cottages residents have been
compelled to move to the homes of hos
pitable neighbors. The waters are
still rising. There is not 1,OOO
square feet in Columbia out OF
water. Business is suspended, churches
are closed and the people go every
where in boats. A novel scene
which has perhaps never been enacted
before in Texas was presented at the
funeral of the late General Duff. A large
concourse OF mourning friends, including
the entire Masonic fraternity, followed
the corpse to the cemetery, two miles
from town, in boats There were
forty-six boats in the procession. with
an average Of five~ occupants in each.
For thirtwo years, from 1853 to 1885,
there had been no overflow in the
Brazos at this point Since 1855 there
has been an annual overflow, but
none that was prolonged or did any
damage.
