TOLEDO, o., December ia special
to the Commercial from Canton, O., says:

Gowan, of Norwalk, were severely in
jured. but will recover. The accident
was due to the spreading Of rails, caused
by the rotten ties of the trestle. Only
the rear coach left the track and top
pied over the edge and down to the
water, thirty-Gve feet below. The cor
oner will hold some one responsible for
criminal neglect The villagers did
splendid service in eXtricating the dead

the case of Charles Conrad, who is a
leading hardware merchant and highly
esteemed young man. When the car

BANKER KEAN ARRaiGNED.
He Submits a Statement Drawn Up Be-
fore the Assignment.

CHICAGO, December 19.-S. A. Kean,
the banker who made an assignment
yesterday, was brought into court this
morning by deputy sheriff, looking
very pale and worn.
Mr.. kean was arrested on warrant
last evening on the charge of accepting
deposit of 81, $50 when he knew that
the bank was insolvent.
On cross examination Mr.. Kean said
that he had statement drawn up
hastily three days before the assign
mcnt, which was as follows: "Liabili-
ties Deposits, demand, S3s3,276; de-
posits, New York, SCI, 200; deposits,
sundry credits, $4,000; deposits
(branch,) 500, 600; total, S52s,276. On
the above about S10O,000 on time
certificates and otherwise on time.
Assets-BillS receivable S270,000;
stocks, $1,000; Government land
scrip, $500; cash due from banks
and in transit, 100000; syndicate due
from other bond houses, $4,000; mar
gin on loans and premium on bonds,
$50, 900; bonds and mortgages on hand,
$50, 900. Total, S503, 500. Our deposits
have shrunk since December l about
Sl95, 0O0."
This statement is about million less
than made by Assignee Jacobs yester-
day, but Mr. Kean said the statement
might not be exactly reliable. Mr.. kean
estimated the average daily deposits for
the past thirty days at 1000 to $780,
900. He thought 100000 would be
realized on the bills receivable. The
So, 900 worth of land scrip scheduled in
the assets, Mr.. Kean admitted, was all
hypothecated in New York and that it
will take So, 1000 to secure it. The
statement showed $1,000 600 cash on hand
and due from backs in transit.
On further examination Mr.. kean ad-
mtted that the loans and premium on
bonds, put at $50, 900 in his statement
would Lot yield over $4,000. Mr..
Kean said that there was large
amount of personal real estate in the
hands of assignee, which did not APP
pear in his statement. In summing up
Mr.. Kean's statement, the counsel for
the depoSitors said that it did not look
as though depositorS would realize over
- cents on the dollar.

the Indian police and the hOstileS; that

ReciprocIty Hit Between the Eyes.

New YORK, December 19.-Mr. Eras-
tus Wiman, in an interview to-day re-
garding the defeat of the reciprocity
candidate at the election held in South
Victoria, on yesterday, said:
"This is blow between the eyes for
the cause of reciprocity between the
United States and Canada. The ques-
tion of trade with the United States was
the pivotal point upon which the
whole contest turned. Both Tories
and Liberals have made up their minds
to regard the results of this contest as
an indication Of what might be the out
come of the general Parliamentary
election which is to be held next year.
The chief cause of defeat, however,
will be found in the fact that there has
not been the slightest indication the
part OF the United States toward en-
couraging reciprocal arrangements"

-FOUR INDIANS HUNG
At Missoula, Montana, for Devilish and
UnprOvOked Murders.


MISSOULA, Mont, December 19.-
The most notable execution which ever
took place in this section Of the country
occurred this morning, when La Laze,
Pierre Paul, Antly and Pascale, four
Indian murdererS, were hanged at the
Court House here. All died game.
Pierre Paul and Antly smilingly bade
goodbye TO their friends, when the cap
was drawn down over their faces. All
were cut down twenty minutes after
the trap was sprung. Their necks were
broken. The crimes for which these
four Indians were hanged were fiendish
ones. PaScale called on 4 proSpector
named j. NJ. Dunn, in the spring Of
1889, near DernerSville. Dunn was
trading horses with him, and when he
refused 10 back them the Indian shot
him, taking the horse and what money
he had. PaScale hid the body In the
brush, where the bones were recovered
some months later by another Indian, to
whom PaScale admitted the crime. The
bones were identified by the remnants
OF clothing, aud PaScale was arrested.
Antly'S crime was the participation
in the murder of three white proSpec-
tors, Mcdonald, Seely and Thompson,
In the fall Of 1857, az Wolf Creek. The
prOSpectOrs were surprised AZ the camp
fire by party Of six Indians and We're
murdered in cold blood. Two Of the
Indians were captured and soon after
lynehed by the people of DanerSville.
Antly remained AZ large until the close
of the summer. La Laze and Pierre
Paul killed two men, names unknown,
in August, 1857, and threw the bodies
into the Jocko river, where they We're
found by half breed woman, who nOti-
fled the authorities, and the murdererS
finally were arrested last summer. The
murders were unprOyOked, as La Laze
said il was fun to kin white men. The
four prisoners were tried and convicted
before Judge Marshall at MSSoula last
fall.

LESS ENCOURAGING
LACK OF CONFIDENCE SHOWN IN THE BUSI-
NESS SITUATION.
The Causes Which Combine 10 Create This Condition
Of Afairs-hany Complaints Of Slow COllsc-
tons in All Branches Of Trade-Down-
ward Tendency in Speculative Markets.

New YORK, December l9.-R. G. Dun
& Co.'S weekly review OF trade says:
Business continues large for the season,
but there is perceptible less feeling OF
confidence. The causes appear to be:
First, prospect OF important monetary
legisl alton, the effects of which are not
clearly foreseen: second, frequent fail
ures and greater difficulties in making
collections; and, third, less satisfactory
conditions in some large branches Of
industry. Though ehe rate for money
on call is lower than a week ago and
money Is easier at Boston and Philadel-
phia, there is still stringency at most
points throughout the country. Com
plants of slow collections have rarely
been more general, and in many cases
settlements can be made only with notes
OF renewals.
Trade at the South Is fair at most
points reporting. Collections in this
region are fair. At Chicago receipts Of
wheat and wool are trifle- below last
years; of hides larger, and of other
products about the same. Money is
firm, and there is confidence in the i'm
mediate future. Trade at Cleveland
fair.
Pittsburg reports more confidence in
trade in manufactured iron and in glass
slower, and Bessemer blooms lower;
banks are less apprehensve, but eau
tiouS.
Confidence improves at Boston and
sales of merchandise is good. Though
money is easier at Philadelphia, the
noteworthy feature is the general diff
Guilty of collections, especially in iron,
paints, oils, jcwelry and glass. Trade
is fair in all these lines and glass plates
arc sitter, but lower prices are expected
in wool and the demand for tobacco Is
light. The anthracite coal trade is de-
moralized and restrictions Of output do
not restrict, general breakup OF the
combination being apprehended. Iron
shows no improvement at Philadelphia
or here. The demand for finished pro-
ducts generally is Stacker and the clos
ing of more furnaces is likely to be
forced. The dry goods trade feels the
influence OF recent failures and OF the
stringency in commercial loans.
In the speculative markets the tenden-
cy has generally been downward, though
wheat is and x cents higher. Corn is
21s c lower; pork - cents per barrel;
hogs 45 cents per 100 pounds, and oil a
fraction lower. Cotton and coffee are
unchanged for the week. But it is note
worthy that the speculative markets
are all hesitating in the feeling that
monetary legislation may indefinitely
alter the situation. Largely increased
immediate supplies OF money by imports
of gold and Treasury disbursements
have less effect than might be expected.
The business failures throughout the
country during the last seven days were
4Oi, as compared with 374 last week.
For the corresponding week OF last veal
the figures were 3i2.

days esssion of the miners convention

being 80 cents gross; also that
that the check -weighman, and all
other assessments shall be collected al

The dead work scale adopted at. the
August convention was referred to the
incoming Executive Board to be en-
forced. A refusal of the above demands
by the operators will probably mean the

PARKERSBURo, w VA. December
ia refinery on the South Side, known
as the old Cook refinery, and owned by
the Second National Bank, has been
literally diSmantled and carried away by
a band of youthful thieves. Nearly all
of the brass fittings, lead pipe, pump
and other fixtures were destroyed. The
work has been going on for some time,
finally ending in the detail OF Detective
Mehen on the case. Captain Mehcn
soon learned that three bOyS-Joseph
and Carry Wayt and VIM. Clark, were
the guilty parties. Captain Mehen
traced a lot of the stolen stun 10 junk
shop, where he found not less than 1000
pounds Of lead. brass and fixtures, which
had been sold by the boys. He then,
last night, went to the home OF the
WaytS, but was barred out. Finally
the house was surrounded, an entrance
effected and the two Wayt boys found up
in the loft hidden away. He then
went across the KanGwha to the home
of the Clark boy. whom he found in
bed. The three boys who are now in
jail are reported to be among the worst
boys in this neighborhood. They had
arranged, it is reported, to rob num-
Der of stores, among which was Trace
wells, on the Newport side, as soon as
another member of the gang, negro
boy now in Jail, got ont. The arrest OF
the thieves, recovery OF the goods and
discovery of their intentions by Detec-
tive Mehen deserves great credit. The
gang of boy thieves and tonghs on the
lower side OF the Kanawha is now in a
fair way of being broken up.
