mcnse Assemblage.
LONDON. May 2S.-An immense ga tn
ering of people assembled on the
grounds of Hawarden Castle yesterday
to listen to an address by Mr.. Glad
stone. Throughout the morning special
trains packed with people from English
and Welsh towns and villages far and
near. were constantly arriving, while
hundreds of persons living within few
miles of the ex-Premier joined in pro-
cession and marched to the caste.
Mr. Gladstone was in excellent form
and voice and addressed the vast crowd
from an elevated position in corner OF
the castle yard, while Mrs. Gladstone
held an umbrella over him to shield
him from the rays of the sun. He was
frequently interrupted by applause, and
the utmost enthusiasm prevailed
throughout the day. In the gathering
were many recognized Conservatives,
but the speakers remarks elected from
them no signs of disapproval.

Dead and Others May Die.
ST. LOUIS. June 2.--Fire was discov-
cred at half past two o'clock this morn
ing in a tenement house and paint shop
at No. 1888 Franklin avenue. and so
fierce were the flames and so rapid
the spread of the fire fed by the
paints and oils in the shop that
although the firemen were prompt to
respond to the alarm, when they ar
rived upon the scene their only concern
was to rescue the members of the fam
lily of George Wolff, consisting of grand
father. husband, wife and two children.
All but the grandfather were taken out
alive and sent, badly burned, to tho
hospital. The old gentleman, ared
seventyfive, was not discovered until

THE ECLIPSE EXPEDITION.

Rev. DIR. Holland. of Pittsburgh. f"'e
Dtscredits the Reports Recently SET
Ahoat Regarding the Unsatisfactory
Work of the Eclipse Expedition to Art
ca-He Characterizes 1t as All Forecas-
tie Talk and Laugnabie were t NOT An
moving.
PITTSBURGH, June Rev. DR.. Hol-
land, of Pittsburgh, who was TO nave
been the naturalist of the Eclipse eXpe-
dition which has just returned from
Africa, but was prevented from going
by reason of death in his family, mas
lust returned from two weeks visit 10
New York City. DIR. Holland said:
Il was on board the United States
man-of-war Pensacola shortly after she
cast anchor and had a chat with Lieu
tenant Commander Hanford and others
Prof. Todd was my guest at the Buck
inghau Hotel in New York last Tuesday
evening. and l was with him on other
occasions. | learned from the officers
of the ship and from Prof. Todd that tho
reports circulated. largely by the New
York Sun. are only to very limited eN-
tent true and are unreliable. The sun
reporter seems to have interviewed tho
cook and the cabin boy. There was no
trouble between the naval officers ana
the scientists. and there was no trouble
between the members of the scientific
contingent of the party. Mr.. Chate-
lain's disappearance is spoken of in tie
article as if it were mystery. Chate-
lain is now hard at work on the negro
languages of Angola. His going ana
skipping was by and with the full con-
sent of the head of the expedition.
The failure to locate at MuXinia is
+ol if ~ had hppD a
blunder In the light of all the facts
it was very wise arrangement. for
which both Captain Yates and Prof.
Todd deserve compliments, instead of
being found fault with. From the
standpoint of the solar physicist the
loss of observations of the corona at
totality means failure: from the stand
point of the exact astronomer the TAX
ing of 10 negatives of the partial
phases of the eclipse means a great sue
cess. Besides the apparatus invented
and used by Profs. Todd and BigelOw
worked to charm. This alone IS
enough to Justify the paltry expense
which the expedition cost The state
ment that the expedition cost the Gov
eminent $500, 900 is absurd. Congress
appropriated only $1,000 to meet tho
expense of the scientists. The PEN
sacola was in commission anyhow, and
it made no difference whether she was
on duty in the North Atlantic or South
Atlantic, the pay roll would have been
the same.
Nearly all the statements of the eX-
petition that have appeared in the pa
pers is forecastle gossip, and would be
laughahle were it not annoying to the
feelings of sensitive and modest men,
such as the principal members of the
pSppditj arc

Judgment of leading citizens there is I
shortage in the accounts of c. +.
Thompson. cashier of the Owcgo Ne
| tional Bank, to the extent of So, 00G.
Others, more conservative, state that t
will not exceed $50, O00. The excitement
is greater than at any time since 1880,
when the Bank at Owcgo collapsed for
$50, 600. Thompson's populations, whirh
are the cause of the banks IA i
ure, appear to have been confin. u
to his dealings with the Big
Four" through James +. Dee. the Owe.'o
correspondent of the exchange. Dec
still insists that Thompson was not
concerned in tao Rock Island, in which
$50 GEO is involved. The fact that
Thompson was some years ago bitten to
the tune of $50, 600 in wheat is per-
tinent He has lately transferred con-
siderable property to his creditors and
deeds of other property, executed some
time ago, have recently been placed en-
record. He is yice-president OF the Ne
braska Banking and Loan Association,
doing business AT MctOOk, NcD., ana
owns property in New York and Brook
lyn.
The amount on deposit at the time
the banks doors were closed was about
$50, 900. of which 81, 600 belonged to
stockholders and directors. Hon. c. E.
Parker, county judge of the Tioga
County. and one of the stockholders,
states that he has not the slightest idea
that the bank will be reorganized.
James f. Dee states that his career as
broker in Owego is at an end. Bank
Examiner Getman. of Albany. refuses
to make any statement and Thompson
is equally non-committal, except to de-
clare that if pushed to the wall, he will
expose two of Owego's most substantial
citizens, who are implicated in the
shortage.
