MAVERICK DEBTORS.
Cashier Work IS Little List Was In
tereStiup

BosToN, Dec. 2.-The Traveller
claims to have received information
from an authentic source as to the items
contained in the famous sworn report
of Cashier Work, President Potter and
Director French upon the condition of
the Maverick bank Sept. 25. The Trav-
eller says: On that date the report
shows that Nathan Matthews was a
debtor to the Maverick bank to the
amount of $50. 900. He may have paid
up something since that time, but
$4,000 is the figure in the sworn state
ment.
The same statement shows G. A. Sim
clair owing S120.O00; Irving A. Evans.
S257,0 and the Florida Commercial
company and the Cape Ann Granite
company, 100000 each, or Whereabouts.
1t does not show the names of either
Potter, Dana or French, As their loans
were probably covered up by having
other names as principals on the notes.
The list is a long one with many names.
There are over thirty names of men
who have secured loans beyond the 10
per cent limit. The amount involved
is over Sl,000,000.

TIE Champion Umbrella,

Salem can not only lay claim to the
famous witch pins, to it's Witch Hill
and the first meeting house, but it
can also produce undoubtedly the
champion umbrella OF the world, an
umbrella with the wonderful record Of
forty-four years continuous faithful
service in storm and sunshine for a
single owner, and yet is not worn out,
but it as impervious to Jupiter Plu-
vius as in the days OF it's youth, and
strong in frame and when first taken
home bright and new from the old
fashioned hat. cap and fur store, long
a well-known Landmark on ancient
Essex street. Considering the way
wardness and peculiar disposition Of
the modern article to disappear just
at the moment OF need, it is refreshing
to learn in the will of the late Mr.. J.
Linton Waters, OF Salem, this bequest:
~ give to my cousin, William c.
Waters, my venerable umbrella, now
in perfect order, with the carved
handle bearing a silver plate-'pur-
chased OF the late Stephen Osborne in
1872 hope the said umbrella may
be always kept in good condition"
The umbrella is OF the good old
family sturdy sort, capacious in It's
spread, and Mr.. Waters was rarely
seen without it under his arm when
the mercury mounted to the top Of
the thermometer tube OF the gather
ing clouds presaged rain.-Boston

day OF extraordinary nervousness. One OF the
largest exporters on the produce exchange who
returned last May from an exhaustive view
OF the grain fields OF Europe. and has since been
profiting by the Information thus acquired, said
today shat the steady rise IN values and the ex-
citable condition Of the markets, was chiefly
due to the ignorance OF European commission
