VICTIMS OF FIELD.
Sad Plight of the Wiechers
Family in Germany.
FROM AFFLUENCE TO POVERTY.
So Poor that They Cannot Now Pay Their
Way to This Country.

Latest Indictments Against Him.
NEW YORK, Dec 22.-The whole story
Of the Wiechers' family connection with
the wrecked firm of Field Lindley
Wiechers & Co. is slowly coming out,
and promises to be exceedingly inter
esting when all is told. 1t is now said
that the members of the family who
live in Germany are actually SO
destitute through the operations of
to pay their passage to this country,
even though less than two years ago
they were heirs to a million and a half
dollars worth of property. George F.
Wiechers, of Porto Rico, is said to still
possess some means Of his own
The money of the Wiechers family
relative, William A. Wiechers, who
dying a few years ago, left something
like 81, 500 900 to his relatives. A
large portion of this money, it is now
said, was put into the hands of young
Wiechers, and by him invested in the
Field-Lindley enterprise.
John 4. Wiechers became acquain ted
with Field through his German friend,
Hillmyers, afterward member of the
firm, and having plenty of money,
was able to join with Field in the ex-
pensive pleasures of yachting and other
sports.
There are now four indictments
against Edward NJ. Field; one for for
gerry and three for grand larceny, two of
the latter having been presented yester-
day. OF these two the first charges that
on Nov. Frank j. Sprague borrowed
of Field, Lindley g. Wiechers the sum
of $25, 900, for which he gave as colIat-
eral 800 shares of General Electric stock.
On the same day Field instructed the
firms brokers, Howard Lapsley & Co..
to dispose of the stock for the firms ac-
count. The stock was sold, and then
4 Field, through the same brokers, bought
up 200 shares of tbs stock in his own
name.
The following day Sprague was asked
to put up so more shares of the stock
as collateral, and these additional
| shares, according to the second indict-
ment, were teloniously taken by Field
after the manner of the first instalment.
When Mr.. Gould will be able to make
| a public statement of the condition of
I the firms affairs is matter of great
uncertainty.
AT the Ludlow Street Jail this m orn-
| ing it was said Field had acted more
like an insane man yesterday and to-
day than.at any time. since he was locked
up. Field refused to touch food of any
kind yesterday, and up to 10 o'clock
this morning had taken no nourishment
since Saturday. His only drink is ice
water, which he takes in small quaint.
ties at frequent intervals.
All day yesterday and again this
morning he complained of pains in his
| head. He is constantly rubbing his
| head with his hands. He does not talk
and seems annoyed when anyone speak 8
| to him. He answers all questions wit b
| a simple yes or no or shake of the
head. He slept very we'll last night
but did not appear refreshed this morn
| ing, and complained of the pain in his
head.

THE will of the late William j. Flor
ence, the we'll known comedian, is the
latest addition to the list of illustrations
of the folly of those who, having de-
voted their lives to the accumulation of
worldly wealth, in this life, imagine
that, at their death, they can dispose of
it to suit their own ideas. Florence, who
was childless, made a will leaving his
property to his wife (who had faithfully
helped him to earn it, in case she should
survive him; and she, in like manner,
made will bequeathing her Interests to
her husband, should he outlive her.
Florence is dead; and now host of
relatives dispute the validity of his will,
and seek to set it aside, so that they may
share in the distribution of the wealth
as though he had died intestate. The
ultimate result, whatever it may be, will
probably rebound chiefly to the bene-
fit of the legal counsel on
either side. Samuel j. Tilden, a shrewd
lawyer, made his own will, and inserted
in it penal clause, that if any of his
heirs should attempt to dispute it's pro-
visions, they should, ipso facto, forfeit
all right to any requests he had made
to them. Yet, Mr. Tilden's will was
promptly disputed by some of the bene-
Aficiaries under it's provisions; and it is
still in the courts, though he has been
so many years dead. These things form
striking commentary on the vanity of
so-called human wisdom, and show the
truth of the words inspired psalmist-
''Naked I came into the world; and
naked shall go out of it." The French
in their cynical way, have put the case
into the terse aphorism-"There are
: no pockets in shroud!"

SPEAKER CRISP has been ill with the
grip but he is so busy making the COM
mittee assignments that, he says, he
cannot enjoy the luxury of taking to
his bed until the troublesome business
is settled, and he expects that it will be
settled on Wednesday, when congress
will take a recess until the 9TH of Janu-
airy. The selection of northern men for
the chairmanships of both the ways and
means and appropriation committees, it
being about settled that Mr. Springer of
Illinois, will have the first, and Mr.
Holman of Indiana the last, has made
some dissatisfaction, the arguments
being made that one section should not
have both. But Mr. Crisp's friends re-
ply by citing the fact that the south has
all three of the democratic members of
the committee on rules, Crisp and
McMillin and Catchings, which about
equally divides the power, so far as the
control of legislation is concerned.

To stick an empty barrel into an open
coal-hole to prevent people from
stumbling in, is an everyday practice.
It's adoption, however, will cost the
Moen Asphaltic Cement company
ST. 800, unless the verdict of a jury of
the superior court of New York is upset.
Mrs Armstrong Maltby, in June. 1889,
in passing one of the company's barrels
so placed on sidewalk in New York,
struck her left knee against the sharp
edge of the barrel The consequent
injury forced the doctors, in April,
1890, to amputate the leg. Judge
Sedgwick expressed the opinion that
such occupation of sidewalk consti-
tuted a nuisance, and made the respon-
sible person liable to any damages there
from. Mrs Maltby is thirty-two years
of age, and was in court on clutches to
give her testimony.

B. F. CUMMINGS, train dispatcher of
Oakland, Cal, is in danger of figuring as
an awful example in the anti-tobacco
crusade. He was moderate smoker,
but he abandoned smoking recently and
took to chewing necessarily. One day
recently he became totally blind. He
recovered his sight after a few days,
but entirely lost his hearing. Then, as
suddenly and mysteriously, he regained
his hearing, but became quite dumb.
He was in delirium for some time, but
finally he recovered completely. The
doctors said his Affections were due to
paralysis of the senses caused by the
absorption of nicotine into the system
through the excessive use of tobacco.
