r. Il. HAocERTY 1 co.'s FAILURE.


Sioux FALLS, Oct. 1.-THE failure OF
r. II. Haggerty & Co., bankers at Aber-
deem, is q shock to the financiel circles
OF South Dakota. Haggerty's financial
successes in the past reads like a ro-
nance. Ten years ago he left his coun.
try home in the mountains Of Pennsyl-
vahia and drifted to jamestown in
North Dakota, where he clerked in a
bank. In 1881 he came to Aberdeen
with . few hundred dollars and bought
a claim, mostly on credit, where is now
the best residence part Of the city.
Aberdeen was suddenly stricken with a
boom and grew like a weed. Haggerty's
land soon became valuable city pro-
perty, and before the payments became
due on his purchase he had sold enough
to wipe out the indebtedness, and have
about half Of the land left. Good times
continued for a couple of years, and we
find him rated as OF the wealthiest
men in central Dakota. He and q Mr..
MARBLE organized q bank and loan
company which they conducted
for several year, the latter pull
Ing Oub tnEco years ago Or
ganizing q bank OF his own. In the
meantime Mr.. HaEgerty established
three private banks in the country trib.
utary to Aberdeen, ~loaning money pro-
miscuously on real and chattle security.
But crop failures followed. Things
have been going from bad to worse for
several years in that neighborhood, and
borrowers have been unable to pay their
interest, while foreclosures were fatal
to the loaner. City property in Aber-
deem was u~nsaleable, and for two years
the Haggerty enterprises have been a
drain on the profits OF other years.
For four years Mr.. Haggerty has been
commissioner OF immigration for south

The old Port Royal buoy went adrlft
in the latter part of November, 1856,
and its long cruise of nearly four years
makes it one of the most notable dcre-
licts on record. Its history was re-
ferred to last December, but since then
W reports have been received, and as
the buoy seems TO be in good condition
it may drift about a year or two longer.
The track shows that the buoy reached
a point about 1,5oo miles east by north
from Port Royal, in August, 1889,
whence it drifted in a southwesterly d.
~rection to its last reported position,
about 500 miles east from Bermuda.
Total drift, as indicated by reports re-
ceived, l,040 miles. Time, three years
