Two of the so called Investment compa-
MES" which have sprung up in Massachusetts
within the past year have come to grief, and
the collapse has been exceedingly disastrous
to the people who held their bonds. 1t is
only question of time. and a very short
time too. when the rest of them will be in
ruins. One of those that are still running.
according to the Boston Advertiser, has a
paid up capital Of 100000, with liabilities of
$4,000, most of which are payable within
ayear. Another with capital of 100000
is reported to have abilities soon due of
100000. The worst feature of these compa-
MES is the class of people which they have
entrapped, they being chiefly working peo-
pie Who Ihave been caught by promise of
large dividends. The Advertiser estimates
that the working people of Massachusetts
haveIput $4,000 into these companies, and the
most of 1t is sure to be lost. Whether these
concerns have been guilty of swindling in
the eyes of the law may be questioned, but
that morally they have been guilty Of that
thing there is no room for doubt.

Chilians Find no Comfort in Harrison,

VALPARAISO, Chill, Dec. 1.-THE sub
stance of President Harrison's state
nent of Chilian affairs has been received
and is subject of universal comment.
1t is regarded by Chilians as decidedly
menacing rupture between between
the two countries, as it is not believed
that the Chilian government will con.
sent either to apology or any material
indemnity. The majority in congress il
known to be opposed to any concession,
although possessed of great influence,
and the Chilian government would
find it difficult to carry the neces-
sary support for humiliating measures.
1t is now no secret that the government
is proceeding actively with warlike
preparations and that artillery of the
latest manufacture has been ordered
from Germany in anticipation of hostili-
ties possibly with other powers and
probably with the United States.

BERLIN, Dec. II. The German world
of finance has been startled by another
crash among its monied institutions and
by the discovery that another hitherto
highly respected. admired and envied
financier had been embezzling money
for long time past. In this latest
revelation Of fraud Adolph Albert, a
prominent banker of Marlitz, in Prussian
Silsea, has been declared a bankrupt,
and an examination into his affairs
shows very poor outlook for his credit
ors. The banking house at the head Of
which was Herr Adolph Albert was
composed of himself and his brother
Marcus, and from present appearances
Adolph, at least, has been defrauding
his clients for long time past. He is
said to have embezzled over 1900, 900
marks, including one deposit of 7SS, 900
marks. Albert has left for parts un-
known, but he is believed to be on his
way to the United States. Herr Marcus,
Adolph's brother, is believed to be i'm
plicated in the embezzlements and has
been placed under arrest.

IOWA RAILWAYS.
Annual Report OF the State Board of
Comm issioners.

Annual Report OF the State Board of
Commissioners.
DEs MONIES, Dec. 1.-THE Iowa
board of railway commissioners has
filed with the governor its report for
1891. The gross Iowa earnings increased
from $37, las, 800 in 1889 to $43, 103, 800 in
1891. The net increase of tonnage of
1891 over 1890 is 1,150.111 tons. The
operating expenses of all the lines were
$50, ,SSl ,092 in 1891, against $93, 937, ,37y in
1890. The operating expenses of Iowa
lines alone We're $2S, S,639, ZOE in 1891,
against $27, ,296, ,2S3 in 1890. The earnings
from strictly Iowa business are greatly
increased over 1890. Twenty-Five roads
report earnings amounting to S31 ,20l, :
565, gain over 1890 on the same roads
of $2,259,0 ,002. Eight roads report earn
ings of $11,900,S ,S35, decrease of
$450.031. The percentage of increase in
earnings is remarkable, ranging from
$50 to 237 per cent. The commissioners
say:
A comparison of the earnings of Iowa
roads for the last five years furnishes a
very interesting study. During 1887,
1888 and 1889, under the rates made by
the roads, there was falling off of rev.
enues, while for 1890 and 1891, un-
der the rates made by the commits
sioners, there was an increase of reve-
nues amounting to $6, 600, 900 in the two
years.
The number of employees in Iowa is
1858, being 296 less than in 1890. This
is due to the loss OF the through busi-
ness and the use Of heavier engines.
Complaint is made in some instances
that employees are overworked.

STATE ROAD BETTBRMENTs.
An Attempt to Withdraw a Letter
Written by Senator Brown.

An Attempt to Withdraw a Letter
Written by Senator Brown.
ATLANTA, GA, April 25.-The better
ments commission this afternoon adjourned
till Tuesday on account of the death of a
daughter of Judge John l. Hall. Before
the adjournment the counsel for the defense
sought TO withdraw from the evidence a
letter introduced by them written and pub
lished by President Brown in 1871. The
president, with the view of defending the
lessees from certain criticisms, therein
stated that their pockets would be drained
TO the tune of $500, 900 before the road could
be put in order. Nothing was said about
the states refunding the money, and the
natural inference is that the president
had no such idea at the
time, but construed the lease contract as
the states counsel now insist that it should
be construed, that is TO say. as not contem-
plating the payment of betterments. Ex-
Attorney General Anderson opposed the
withdrawal of the letter, arguing that it
was part of the legitimate history of the
lease commission, and the letter was not
allowed to be withdrawn
