THE MAVERICK BANK.

The failure Of the Maverick Bank in
Boston seems TO have been caused in
large part by the suicide of Evans and
the subsequent suspension of the firm of
|. a. Evans & Co. These events, COM
ing with the withdrawal of the States
deposits and of other trust funds, caused
run Of private depositors, and yester-
day the Clearing House committee de-
cided that it was necessary to close the
bank.
The losses TO individuals will he linn
tied. The conservative estimate of the
committee places the probable dividends
TO creditors at IS cents on the dollar,
while friends of the bank assert that it
will pay in full. In either event, the
failure will hardly have a very marked
effect upon the market, rs it has been
fully discounted since the Evans failure

INDUSTRIAL NOTES.

AS result of several conferences be-
tween committees from the Weavers'
unions in Wanskuck and Olneyville, il
has been decided TO call conference of
weavers from the chief Industrial cities in
the State, particularly from Woonsocket,
Burrllville, East Greenwich and Wes-
terly, for the purpose Of forming State
organization of weavers. Arrangements
have accordingly been perfected for this
preliminary meeting, which has been
called for Saturday, Nov. 9TH, at lO55
High street, Olneyville, at p. NJ. Should
the attendance warrant, an adjournment
will Immediately be made ro one OF the
larger halls in the vicinity.
The Typographical Union of this city
held special meeting yesterday afternoon
and decided to withdraw the permission
that il had given some OF its members to
work in the Telegram office. This action
was precipitated by the fact, as it is
there, that the Union men were being one
by one victimized. The majority Of the
men employed there have been members
of the Printers Protective Fraternity, and
the Union men have only been allowed to
work with them by the local organization
as a matter Of expediency, but recent dis
elimination against the Union men has
rendered their withdrawal necessary.
Less than one fourth Of the entire force
were union men, and these will be pro-
vided for by the Union until they obtain
situations.

Gen. Beauregard says he ha snothing to
do with the La ;. L.; nothing that is, ex-
cept "superintend the drawings" The
general draws it pretty fine-W heeling
Register.
Gen. Beauregard's indictment and
arrest for aiding and abetting the viola,
tion of the laws against lotteries is logical
and praiseworthy.-New York Com
mercial Advertiser.
Gen. Beauregard still keeps up his
lottery connection, and now warrant is
out charging him and other officials with
violating the postal laws Our northern
notions of morality are a great bore to
the South.-Brooklyn Times.
With swelling air he proclaims that
his duties were only to see that the draw
ings were fair, and he threatens to make
him. Beauregard may talk big, but he
will have difficulty in convincing any
body that he hasn't been acting as q stool
pigeon for the greatest swindle Of modern
times.-Lafayette Journal.
General Beauregard can see "no impro-
priety, much less q crime" in the
Louisiana lottery, because it is "a
recognized institution of the State, up
held by its laws and conducted by the first
citizens OF New Orleans" The general
appears to regard State laws as superior
not only to national ones but to moral law
as swell-Philadeiphia Inquirer.
General Beauregard is defying every
thing and everybody connected with the
South Dakota lottery indictments, and
threatening to make somebody suffer if a
hair of his head is touched, or words TO
that effect. Evidently the spirit of rebel
lion still smolders in his warrior breast,
but there is little hope for a man who de-
clares that he can see nothing immoral or
wicked in a lottery. ry.-Indianapolis News

THE ARCTIC MURDER.

Whatever dark elements of human
passion were concerned, however min
gled the motives of the actors in the
tragedy, whatever unseemly facts are
hidden from the public eye and only
whispered TO the public ear, it is likely
that the murder of John Gaddis would
never have happened but for drink. That
fact leaps large to the view as the little
drama of sin and sorrow is unveiled.
And if Rhodes Cornell had not put an
enemy in his mouth 20 steal his brains
away, he would not now be trembling in
his cell, the most miserable object on
earth, image of Cain, slayer of his maker s

abundant. the eyes are too brilliant and
the complexion too dainty" The cour-
tiers asked in astonishment "But does
your royal highress know the grand

reply, but know the court painters"

in the choice resorts of tho city. Ambi-
tion apparently had not then dawned
upon him, and he was satisfied to howl
forth that musical song:
There's hole In the bottom of the sea.
There's a hole in the bottom of the sea,
There's a hole In the bottom of the sea.
There's a hole in the bottom Of the sea.
"Shan" and the others joining in the
chorus
There's hole In the bottom of the sea, ETC.
1t was probably his election as sheriff
that turned Mr.. Cleveland's thoughts
from things musical and convivial to
things political. His election as mayor
and governor followed, and his removal
to Albany and to Washington his first
trip there, if we mistake not, being to
make his inaugural address in city he
had never before seen.
Mr.. Cleveland's next removal was to
Redtop," by whose purchase and sale
he cleared a handsome profit, real estate
dealers also reaping rich harvests in the
vicinity. Losing his grasp on the Presi-
dency he went to the Gerlaoh in New
York, then to private house on Madi-
son avenue. His law practise permitted
him to summer first in New Jersey and
then in Massachusetts, and he at one
time thought Of living in Connecticut
near enough to New York to run in dur
ing business hours, say from 12 to 2.
But Cleveland's recent removals have
been dictated not by business but by
political considerations. He could not
call himself a New Yorker because Hill
absolutely controlled New York, and a
nomination not acquiesced in by his own
State couldn't be thought of. He couldn't
go to New Jersey, because Leon Albeit
was a stronger man nor to Connecticut,
for Tom Waller is more popular. So
now he il billed as resident of Mas
sachusetts," where there are no Demo
Gratis of sufficient consequence to steal
delegations away.
And so next year we may hear ex-
Gov. Billy Russell in national conven-
tion of his party saying, and now, gen.
tlemen, PIE mt the name of Grover
Cleveland Oh Massachusetts," and the
boy in the gallery will say "wot did he
leave New York fer?"
