PHILADELPHIA, April 26.-IE7e cailura
OF several short epdowracnt orders,
following on the collapse OF the Univer-
sal Order OF Cooperation. has caused
panic among the poor and delGded
members Of theee mushroom concerns.
and before many days number
Of other concerns sill surely go to
the wall. It is impossible to say how
many wildcat orders like the collapsed
Universal OrdeS OF Cooperation, the
Earnest Workers and the Benevolent
Endowment Association are now swind-
ling the citizens of Philadelphia and
vicinity, bat a moderate guess would be
100
The liabilities OF these rotten concerns
which have no assets whatever beyond
the sums paid in by members are enor-
nous. To Its 27, 500 members the
Beneficial Order Of Earnest Workers, for
instance, owes s., ,750, 900, while the
funds on hand are reported to be only
$3.50, 900. The Universal Order Of Co
Operation had nearly 25, 600 members,
to whom II owes something like 81, ,50O,-
600, and its receiver has found some
25, 900 to 5000 with which 10 meet
these claims The membership of the
other orders is generally smaller, and it
is probably within bounds TO lump them
all together at 500, 900. On the basis of
500 TO each member, here is SO, ,0O0,-
600 more due to the holders of the certif-
icates of these humbugging affairs.
Every one of them is doomed to collapse
in short time, and all the certificate
holders bat those who got in on the
ground floor will be losers.

A LJnching b. U. =. Soldiers.

WALLA WALLA, Wash, April 25.-D.
J. Hunt, the slayer of Private Miller,
was lynched last evening by soldiers
from the garrison, and fell in the Court
House yard riddled with sixteen bullets,
four Of which entered his head a
crowd OF seventy soldiers arrived early
in the evening and began work on the
jail doors with hammer and chisel
This was too slow, and they threatened
to use dynamite, when the doors were
opened. They then demanded KEYS TO
the cell, and took Hunt out in the yard
and quickly shot him.
Excitement ran high, and two thous-
and people were around the Jail until
after midnight. After the shooting the
soldiers went TO their quarters, and it
will be hard to identify them, though
many were not masked. Previous to
the shooting they had taken charge of
the town, and compelled the merchants
to put out all lights Huntwas a ganb-
Ter, and he and Miller were drinking

relied, and he shot Miller dead

The announcement is made says the
Philadelphia Herald that Representative
Jesse NJ. Baker of Delaware county is a
candidate for Chairman Of the Republi-
State Committee, to succeed Hon. Will
lam Andrews, the present incumbent.
II Is understood that the friends of Mr..
Andrews have been importuning Sen
ator Quay to reappoint the gentleman
from Crawford, but this announcement
in regard TO Mr.. Baker would indicate
that they have not succeeded.
The candidacy of Baker is simply a
mask for ex-Chairman Cooper, who will
be the head and front Of the organiza-
ton. Two years ago Quay turned Coop
er down because the hopeful Collector of
Customs was inclined to indulge in some
opinions aud ambitions of his own. The
willingness to take him back now is
proof Of the chastening influence of ad-
versity.
But the swapping of horses won't save
the race. 1t wasn't Andrews incompe-
tency that lost the last battle, but Quay's
unpopularity With Cooper at the head
of the committee, even though his iden-
tity is masked by the election of Baker,
the obnoxious bossism which has dis
gusted the people viii be apparent, and
the people viii not support it.

both sides of the street from the river
bridge to Pierce's store was burned; also
the residence OF Wilson, Clam, DR.. D.

sensation of this city is the death last
week at Denver, Col, of Mrs. ]. B.

to-day and there is no longer any doubt
that she was killed by arsenic poison

looked like whisky, and which came to
her with the signature, From a friend

Mrs. Barnaby was the widow of A
wealthy manufacturer who left an estate
OF 500, GOO. Because of irregular habits
she was cut off with q small income. but
relinquished her dover rights in consid-
Grafton of the payment of $IO5, 600.
Her confidential adviser was DIR. Thatch-

least $50, 900 by Mrs. Barnaby's death.
The doctor says he realizes his position
Is peculiar, but that he will be able to

was poisoned by some person with whom
she had been intimate and to whom she
refused to give more money

GOVERNOR PATTIsoN on Tuesday ap-
proved the bill returning to William H.
Kemble, the Philadelphia banker, the
money advanced to the state for the en-
ergency caused by the Johnstown food.
In signing the bill Governor Pattison
after setting forth the peculiar circum-
stances said:
Especial tolerance is given by the con-
stitution to the creation of d State debt
to repel invasion, suppress insurection,
defend the State in war, and to maintain
the credit of the Commonwealth by
meeting its existing debts. The execu-
tive, too, Is authorized by law to pay
without previous specific appropriation,
the expense of the National Guard called
OEt under certain circumstances of
threatening danger. OF a nature akin
these emergencies was the occurrence
which has passed into history as the
Johnstown flood The expenditures
made by the Commonwealth in connec-
ton Herewith were incurred in the law
full exercise of its police power. They
have been duly vouched to the satisfac-
ton Of the legislature, and the moneys
appropriated by this bill are to be paid
out only after due examination and in
quiry by the fiscal and auditing officers
of the State.
In view Of these considerations l
cheerfully approve this bill, without fear
that 1t VIII establish a precedent which
viii ever be abused by the incumbent of

IL his last report says the Philadel-
phia Record Secretary Window estimated
the Treasury surplus for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1891, at precisely $50,
600, 900; but the Secretary did not
make due allowance for the extraordin-
airy capacity of the Billion Congress to
waste the public money. Instead of
having surplus, the Treasury is on the
perilous edge OF a deficit, in spite of the
transfer to the public account Of $54, =
600, 600 deposited by the National banks
for the redemption of their notes. Dis
patches from Washington state that the
Treasury officials lool, with sOlicitude to-
ward the approaching heavy payments;
that the expenditures are steadily in

diminishing; and that secretary Foster

ON las; SIos,l-.y afternoon wheat sold
on the Produce Exchange OF New York
FOR cash, and on May options, at 81. IS
per bushet This is the highest price
this grain has reached in years, save
during the few days in 1888, when the
famous Hutchinson corner was manipu-
lated. The sales at the above price
were very large-22, 500, 000 bushels
which is more than the entire visible
supply of the country. The sales N
Chicago were also very large, and the
price rose as high as S1.15 in fact the
grain markets OF this country are fairly
booming, because the belief prevails
that, owing to the poor condition of
European wheat, there will be a big de
mand for American grain before the
close of the present year.
The price at which wheat sold on
Monday is from twenty-five to twenty
five cents higher than the price one year

Some, of course, she will have 10 sell,

they will be able to supply the deficiency
more than partially. This will compel
Western Europe to draw on the United

will be scarcer in this country by July l
than it has been for many years and, in
consequence, corespondingly high.

unexpectedly on Friday night at Berlin,
in the 9lst year Of his age. As the CON
querer of the French armies and the
military hero coequal with Bismarck,
the Commissioner at the capitulatiou Of

TO history as that of the formost German
warrior of his day and generation Two
or three years ago Geneaal Won Moltke
was placed on the retired list Of the
army. General Won Waldersee succeed
ed him. Emperor William wrote Won
Moltke a gracious and affectionate letter
nominating him as Presidentof Country
Defense. This Office was held by En-
peror Frederick until he ascended the
throne, since when it has been vacant.
Though nomially retired with all the
honors, the old Field Marshal continued
