WILLIAM L. SCOTT DEAD.
The Ex-Congressman Finally Succumbs
to the Inevitable.


NEWPORT, r. l., Sept. ELK Repre-
sentative William Scott. of Erie, Pa. died
at midnight Saturday night. The body
was sent to Erie by special train to-
day for interment. He had grown worse
during the last day or two, and at IL
o'clock Saturday night he was so low that
the attending physician decided to remain
by his bedside all night. AS it was the
first time that this precaution was taken,
it was feared by the family and inquiring
friends that the end was near, and at mid
night he passed off quietly. Mr.. Scott
was brought here some days ago, and the
change at first was thought to have bene-
flied him. An unfortunate turn in his
disease took place Thursday, however, and
it was necessary to recall DIR. Pepper, who
had been attending him but had gone
away for few days. DR.. Pepper imme-
diately returned from Philadelphia, but it
was too late, as Mr. Scott's disease was
accompanied by a complication of the
throat and all that could be done was to
ease the last days of the dying man.

NEW YORK, Sep, 23-Shortly after the
opening of the stock exchange yesterday
the rumors of impending failures materi-
allied into the announcement OF the fail
ure of the firm of S. " White & Co., who
had become heavily involved on the long
side of deal in corn and were swept

Caused a Sensation.
The news of the failure created great
surprise, as the firm was thought TO bs
one of the richest and most prosperous in
the country. Mr.. White himself was
classed as millionaire, and the other
mem bers of the firm-A. w. Allen, +. w.
Hopkins, and Arthur White-were ranked
among the wealthy men here and in Chi

and s1 100000 stolen in England.
LONDON, Sept. 22.-The banking world
was startled yesterday by the announce
ment that the London and Westminster
bank Qimited) Al Lothbury, f. c., an i'm
portant establishment, having over fifteen
branch houses in the metropolis, had been
robbed. The money stolen consisted of u
large parcel of bills remitted from the
country banks. The thief or thieves must
have watched closely for an opportunity
to accomplish the robbery, and to have
gained access to an apartment near the
main entrance to the bank.
Refuse to Make Statement.
This apartment was easy of access from
the street and the parcel of bills is sup
posed to have been stolen while the bank
officials were busily engaged in another
apartment in going over the accounts Of
last weeks settlement. Both Mr.. Will
lam Astle, the town manager of the bank,
and Mr. Fl. f. Bilinghurst, the country
manager, decline to make any statement
for publication as to the actual loss in
Cured by the London and Westminster
bank. But it is currently reported that
the amount stolen is not less than $780, 600,
and that it may amount to as much as
81, ,2500O0. The bank officers, the city
authorities and the criminal investiga-
tion department of Scotland Yards are
putting forth their utmost exertions.
What the Police Think.
The notice of the robbery has been sent
to the police centers throughout the king
dom and the continent and the sailing of
every vessel is being watched. Notice of the
robbery has also been sent to all the banks
upon which the bills were drawn, but the
police theory is that no attempt will be
made to change the bills in this country,
but that the thieves will have recourse to
the continent, where the presence of so
many wealthy travellers from England
and the United States makes such trans
actions easier than i'm this country.

traitor of the most horrible murder ever
committed in this state, has been refused
a new trial and sentenced to death by Judge
Woodward. The judge overruled the

no emotion, staring straight before him
with the stolid look Of an imbecile. Nc
Millan's crime was the killing of his wife

PATRoNIzE rnE HOME 1fARKEr.

A few days ago n well-known merchant came
into The inns Office and. in course OF con-
versation, remarked on the propensity which
so many Richmond purchasers and shop
pers" have Of sending North for their goods
although offered as good and frequently
greater bargains rightat home. lie cited one
instance where a lady came to him to know
if he could duplicate an article of dress which
she had purchased in New ork. Aftera very
brief search ne found that he could not only
supply an exact duplicate Of the material
shown, but at a price about twenty per cent
less than that originally paid.
The experience of this merchant in this in
stance is common to nearly every business
in Richmond Dry goods merchants, furni-
ture dealers notion men, ladies' and gentle
mems furnishing goods merchants. carriage
manufacturers. talors and all others can tell
tie same story OF their respective trades sui
fering Iuore or less from this idea of buyers
that they can do better by sending to other
cities for their goods. In fact, it seems to be
u very singular, but very general idiosyncracy
Of human nature 10 believe that anything
bought elsewhere is, somehow or other, more
desirable than better article purchased in
the place where they live.
This Is in every way great mistake for
besides being Of no benefit to the purchaser
Its tendency IS 10 be injurious both by send
ing money away which ought to be kept in
circulation here and by discouraging our
home trade. What sense is there in buying
anything in New York, for instance. when
the same or equally US good an article can be
had in Richmond for the same or a lower
pnce? Our Richmond merchants complain
greatly Of this practice. and they have sp
parent cause to do so. They take the risk OF
investing their money ID business enter
prises and naturally il is to their interest
after having done 50. TO do whatever they
can towards advancing the business prosper

many OF our people to send elsewhere for
what they want hurts their business and is
exceedingly discouraging
OF course in this land of boosted freedom

chants only ask a fair trial. and if thew can
not supply oil that is wanted at prices as sat

York or Baltimore. then they will have no
further word to say. But il they can. a little
reflection will show that, to say nothing of
proper local pride, it will be far better for all
concerned that the home market be first
patronized. When that fails it will be ample
time to seek elsewhere
