A DRIVING FINISH,
In Which W G Morris Pulls Up
Ahead of Pomfret.

The excitement created by the Mer-
chants handicap had not subSided when
the horses were sent to the post for the
last event of the day, and the spectators
were in fever heat when the perform
ers got away with W G Morris in the
lead Past the amphitheater Sayre eX-
tended himself and gave a free eXhibi-
ton by beginning to set rapid pace.
At the turn, however, he bolted the
track and became absolutely unmanage-
able. Thence in Barnes let him jog
along at will. DOllikens swung arou nd
the turn first, followed by Morris and
Pomfret, and this was the order the en-
tire length of the back stretch. Then
Sloan urged Mary up even with Pom
fret. w G Morris and Dollikens ran
into the stretch head and head, and
POmfret, now under the whip, came
third. 1t was driving finish. POmfret
was coming fast, and his admirers and,
hackers yelled vociferously;
"POmtret will win"
But Freeman was alert. He sent out
Morris, and he took the wire first, Pom
fret second and DOllikens third.

HOnOred Rea.

DETROIT, Aug. 4.-MinneSota. under
the leadership of Commander G. d. Par
ker contributed 80 men to the magnifi-
cent pageant, but there was one man in
the ranks who received many rounds of
applause ere the march ended. 1t was
Past National Commander-in-ChiefJ John
p Rea. who insisted on marching with
the rank and file. A private soldier
shared with Gen. Rea the admiration OF
the multitude. 1t was James Conway,
of st. Paul. who, at the battle of AL
toona Pass. captured the flag of the Thir
ty-ffth Mississippi regiment and bore it
bravely from the field. Past Department
Commanders Becker, Wheelock and
Compton also marched in the ranks.
There was a wild cheer when the
500 Missouri veterans hove in sight. 1t
was the state which had furnished Will
liam Warner, one of the most popular
cOmmanders-in-chie that the q. A. r.
has ever known, and every man who
marched in line was recognized as one
who in his devotion to the Union had
undergone the dangers of guerrilla war
fare and seen families divided against
themselves IN the dark days of '63.

Billy Pinkerton treated the spectators
to his usual eXasperating exhibition at
the post. He is as stubborn as a mule.
and as vicious as he is stubborn. 1t is
never safe for another horse to come
within sparring distance of his heels,
and he always refuses to go away until
he is good and ready. The result was,
after fOOling for fifteen minutes, the
others were sent away without him. al

Orrick set the pace up around the

the first turn Rimini and Kindig eX-

tered the back stretch Royal Garter was

PEPPERED HIS PAPA.
A Young Married Man Gets Fresh
With a Gun.

Special to the Globe.
FARIBAULT, Mimi, Aug. "A shoot
ing affair occurred near the Shattuck
school this morning which came pretty
near being fatal. Mark Denhaecinck
married Miss Mary Thouet some time
since. The girl had 1000. This money
was invested in a farm near this city,
and the pair went to live on it. Aside
from some trivial difficulties, such as
are apt to arise, nothing happened to
mar the true bliss of this union until
this morning, when Mr.. Denhae-
cinck attempted to sell load
of wheat, and after it was de-
llvered he went for his pay and
found his wife had ordered the party
not to pay him, as the wheat was not
his. Mr.. Thouet and his son Charles
were notified by the wife of the way
things stood and went over. this morn
ing to straighten them out. Mr.. Den
haecinck did not like to be interfered
with, and therefore went TO his barn
and secured shotgun. He put slug
into it and commenced firing at Mr..
Thouet and the boy. One shot took ef-
feet in Mr.. Thouet's head on the right
temple, inst forward of and above the
ear, and passed under the scalp. Glanc-
ing Oh the skull, it came out just
back of the ear, slightly higher
on the head than where 1t en-
tered. DIR. Gadboise dressed the
wound and thinks no serious trouble
will occur. After the shooting Den
haecinck was disarmed by neighbor-
ing farmer, brought into the city, turned
over to the sheriff and placed in jail.
He said he was sorry he hurt the old
man, but he would like to hurt Charles,
the boy, meaning his brOther-in-laW.

CIRCULATION FIGURES.
Comparative Statement for Differ
ent Periods,

WASHINGTON, Aug. A statement
has been prepared at the treasury de-
partment in regard to the amounts of
money in circulation on the 1st of July
of the years 1866, 1885, 1889 and 1891,
from which it appears that the
assertion that there has been since the
war great reduction of the amount Of
money in circulation is without fOun-
dation. The statement is as folio VS.: All
the statements furnished are made up on
precisely the same basis. The amount of
each kind of money in the treasury and
the remainder is given as the amount
in circulation. There is nothing omitted
from the statement which should appear
there except minor coins (nickels and
pennies), and they are left out OF all the
reports because of the difficulty ir eSti-
mating the amount of them in use.
AS the amount at the present time is
greater than in the earlier years, their
omission will not be unfavorably criti-
ciZed by those who contend that there is
now a scarcity of money. The amount
of money in circulation in 1860 was
about S435, 900, and the amount per
capita was S13.S5. In 1865 there were
S723. 100000 in circulation and the per
capita amount was S20.S2. Twenty
years later the circulation was over
1892, 900, 900, and the per capita was
S23.02, while on the first of January last
the amount was nearly S1,529,00Q, 900,
with s24.l0 as the per capita allowance,
the highest in the history of the United
States.
Owing to shipments of gold to for
eign countries there has been decline
since Jan. l, 1891, not only in the
per capita amount but in the total cir
culatiOn on the first instant, notwith
standing the outflow of gold was about
81, 100000, and the amount per cap

through, in shreds and tatters, proudly
borne alOft 10y their bearers.
The Connecticut division came next,
and following Connecticut was Massa-
chusetts, $500 strong. Forty New jersey
veterans were next in line. One hum
dred eX-Union soldiers represented the
state of Maine, but in the ranks were
more. than one man of national reputa-
tion. California showed up twenty-five
strong. Notwithstanding the distance
they had to come. At their head, with
other past commanders, marched w. X.
Smedberg, whom the delegation is
booming in such an enthusiastic manner
for the position of cOmmander-in-chief
Following the little Rhode Island group
was the New Hampshire division, 200
strong. Vermont followed New Hamp-
shire with $50 men. The Departmental
the Potomac, under command OF James
M. Pipes, was 500 strong, and its ranks
presented many faces familiar to the
nation. The strains of Virginia's mar
tial music was dying in the distance as
Maryland, some 800 strong, passed the
stand. They elected marked applause
by their fine appearance, especially
Post No. Z, of colored veterans.
The governor OF the state is not often
seen trudging along in the dust with the
boys, but that sight was witnessed more
than once to-day, As the Nebraska q.
A. r., 500 strong, with Department
Commander Teeter and Gov. Thayer,
passed the grand stand, it was lmp0Ssl-
ble to tell whether the cheers were for
the granger governor, the soldier boys
or that venerable old figure which al
ways prOvokes the cheers Of the vOlun-
foA
national ommander-ln-chief. OF course,
Michigan, with its $1,000 veterans, re-
ceived the ovation of the day. Iowa
came next to the Wolverine state, 300
strong, and marching with military pre-
cisiOn. Then Indiana'S $500 veterans
moved in majestic column past the re-
viewing stand. At the head and beside
the department commander marched
Gov. Alvin p. HOvey, and right roy
ally did the multitude greet Indiana's
chief executive. But, though a gov
ernor. he was a soldier still. and not
even b V bow or glance did the hero of
the battle of Champion Hills return the
cheers Of his admirers. But there were
others to share the generous ovation
rendered to the Indiana boys. Gen. A.
d. Streight, one of the leaders and
projectors of the famous Libby prison
tunnel, and Col. Walker, another who
escaped through that historical under
ground passage, were recognized by all
familiar with the history of that daring
adventure. The department of Color
ado and Wyoming had about one hun
dred men in line, 400 veterans repre-
sented the Grasshopper state. Della
ware, forty strong, made pretty show
ing as the division marched in spright-
ly manner past the grandstand.

INCIDENTS OF THE DAY.
Ex-President Hayes Applauded at
Every Turn.

DETROIT, Aug. The naval officers
were loudly cheered as they passed in

the compliments. The Sons of Vet

rear of the long procession. The boys
marched in fine style, and received
marked appl ause along the entire line.

Decline of a Wall Street Specu-
latOP.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-The failure of
A. B. StockweIl was announced on the
consolidated exchange to-day. He had
been allowed until IL o'clock to make
good his contracts for 200 shares Of
stock. The time was subsequently
extended until 1 O'Clock, when he not
appearing, the shares were sold o ut
under the-rules. The 200 shares repre-
sented about S4OO. The decline of A.
Stockwell, at one time noted as most
daring and ventureSome stock Specu-
lator, has excitedmuc sympathy among
the people in Wall street. Mr.. Stock
Wells connection with Wall street began
over twenty years ago. when he came
here from Cleveland, o., with capital
estimated at a round S1,000,000. He was
at the head of the then famous Howe
Sewing Machine company, position
that he acquired through his mar
riage with the daughter of the
well-known inventor. For long time
he cut a big swath in Wall street
affairs. He became president of the Pa
clfic Mail Steamship company, and Of
the Panama Railroad company. Then
reverses came; his fortune crumbled
away like ashes. Misfortunes followed
each other in quick succession until his
fortune was swallowed up in the mael-
strom of speculation.

under bright sun, 10000 veterans
tramped sturdily over the line of march,
and such was the inspiration of the mo
ment, that even the feebleSt of the
manned and crippled comrades found
themselves adequate to the ordeal
of the five miles march. The firing of
a salute from the United States steam
ship Michigan in the harbor announced
to the waiting veterans at 10:3O o'clock
that the command to move had been
given by the COMMUNICATIVE hief.

before the reviewing stand the vast con-
course of people clustered about the
campus cheered themselves hoarse.
The general reined up his charger, how
ever, and paused. Gen. Alger and the
Detroit post. his escort, passed by hlm
and drew up before the reviewing
stand, fIonting 1t with canes at charge.
Gen. Veazy looked on with gratified
smile. then lifting his hat gracefully
from his brow, he allowed his horse to
pass with slow steps before them. As he
passed the reviewing stand every occu-
pant arose to his feet. Foremost was
the great Indian fighter, Gen. Miles. of

over bareheaded with his white-gloved
hands knitted above his sword hilt.
Gen. Veazey reached the end of the
post and the Detroit veterans unturled
their flag, Sehremser'S band struck up
lively air, and the crowd cheered
once more. Gen. Veazey then rode to

THE HOWELL FAILURE.
CoIlusion for Fraudulent Purposes
Is Charged.


CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-The North Wis
consin Lumber Company of Hayward,
Wis, filed a petition in the county court
this morning to declare the acts of S.
R. Howell, the lumber merchant re-
Gently failed, as constituting a
voluntary assignment. The petitioner
has claim for S50,946. 1t is charged
that on April so, 1891 Howell, in fraud
of the rights of other creditors, made
and delivered to his attorney papers
which were in effect an assignment of
his property to the First National
bank to be delivered to
that bank, making it preferred
creditor, whenever Howell should reach
a point where he could not 90 on; that
Howell was at that time insolvent, Ow-
ing 81, $40, 900 while his assets were only
$780, GOO; that his assignment being
withheld from the records and
kept secret enabled Howell to
secure credit from the complain
ant and others; that the turning
over to the Dank when he failed on July
IA of all his assets was a fraud upon his
other creditors; that the instruments
executed by Howell we're not simply as
security for the payment of the debt to
the bank, but to liquidate the indebted
ness with the bank. and the surplus
was to be delivered to Howell.
1t is urged that the instruments are
not chattel mortgages, as claimed, but
are in law an assignment by Howell for
the benefit of his creditors to the bank
as assignee. Yet the bank, claiming
the instruments to be mortgages to
secure it's own claims only, refuses
to act for the other claimants,
and has given the required thirty days
notice of sale. A claim is made that
the bank is in collusion with Howell to
cheat and defraud other creditors.
Judge Scales granted citation for
Howell to appear tomorrow morning to
answer questions, and also issued rule
on the bank to show cause why it
should not be enjoiDed from selling or
diSposlng of the property.

gives an account of horrible death
which befell Philip Diedrich at that
place yesterday. Monday Diedrich
went to a neighbor named Schrammel
to assist the latter in starting new
binder. The platform apron became
loose. and the two men stepped in front
of the sickle while the machine was in
gear. The horses became frightened
while the men were trying to faSten the
apron, and started to run away. Schram-
mel jumped to one side and escaped,
but Diedrich, who stood nearer the
horses, was knocked by the guards in
front of the sickle, which caught him in
the legs, and he was dragged through
the field by the runaway horses. When
the horses we're stopped and Diedrlch
was taken out of the machine he was
horribly cut, and died in few minutes.
