Daiy the Gambler Robbed of Large
Sum and Dared to Prosecute.
NEW York, Sept. 1.-THE Herald
says: John Daily, the king of all New
York gamblers, is said to have been rob-
ped OF a large sum of money by his
manager, William s. Hollingsworth.
The money was taken from the safe in
MT. Dalys gambling palace, 80 West
WenfY-ninth street, Friday night. The
worth took the money from the safe, of
which he held the combination, and
used the greater part to cover losses in
Wall street Hollingsworth has been
for years the trusted business manager
Of DAILY, and has handled in that time
several millions of dollars belonging to
Mr.. DAILY. Hollingsworth did not leave
the city and it is said that when DAILY
went to him and demanded his money,
Hollingsworth cody informed him that
he had only taken what belonged to him
and dared him to prosecute. DAILY has
taken nc, steps in that direction, because,
it is whispered, any action of that char
acter on his part would involve persons
of prominence in the administration of
the City of New York.
Hollingsworth Denies the Story.
New Yosk, Sept. 14.-William S. Hol-
lingsworth, who is alleged by morning
paper to have stolen 100000 from John
DAILY, the king of New York gamblers,
says the whole story is untrue. Some
time ago he quit the gambling business
on account of his children. He squared
up everything and has witnesses to show
it. He did not need to take any money
SO square Wall street losses as his Wall
street dealings show large profit.

Boston, May 7.-William Jacques, of

of the American Bell Telephone Co.
He is on a pleasure trip abroad and in

sailed for England about month ago.
He is well known in this and other
eastern cities. He is spoken of as a
quiet, inoffensive man. He is highly
educated and was at one time profes-
sor of Johns Hopkins college, Balti-

him are at loss to account for the as

ITALY HAS NO LEGAL CASE.
WASHINGTON, May THE report of
the New Orleans grand jury upon the
killing of the Italians was fruitful
theme for discussion among people at
the department of state. 1t is
said that the findings of the grand jury
excited no surprise, for some such con-
clusion of the case was expected.
The attempt to palliate the infraction
of the law by offsetting the alleged at
tempts at jury fixing is deprecated by
the legal minds of the department, but
there is well defined opinion that on
the whole the outcome will be beneficial
in its effect upon the turbulent foreign
elements in the United States, mas
much as it will make clear to them the
fact that they cannot rely upon treaties
to escape responsibility to the great
public for their unlawful acts.

ACRES OF FLAMES.

Destructive Fire at Long Island City-Im-
mense Lumber Yards Burned.
NEW YORK, May Fire started in
the Doncaster iron foundry at West
avenue and Flushing street, Long ISL
and City, at II o'clock last night, entire
ly consuming the building with it's con-
tents. The Clark & Simpson feed mills,
next door, also took fire and were
burned to the ground. The flames then
spread to the immense lumber yards
across the street, which cover seven or
eight acres, or thirteen city blocks.
Several different firms occupy this
ground, among them being that of H.
S. Whiting, II. s. Burroughs and the
Export Lumber Co., owned by William
R. Grace & Co. At midnight all of the
lumber in these yards was burning with
no possible hope of saving any of 1t.
L. E. McLane's lumber yard, adjoin-
ing the Long Island railroad depot is
burning The firemen are being stead
lily driven back.
An unknown man was drowned in
Newton creek while looking at the fire.
The fire was caused, it is supposed,
by a spark from casting which had
been made just before the shop closed.
The Clark & Simpson feed mills were
burned to the ground and H. S. Whit
ing's retail lumber yard was entirely
consumed. II. S. Burroughs wholesale
lumber yard in Newton creek, adjoin-
ing the export yard, was at 1 o'clock
in the morning a mass of flames. The
Tunis-Sims lumber mill followed and
was soon a total loss.
The loss could not be estimated early
this morning. but it was thought it
might reach 81, 900, 900.

TRADE REVIEW.

Dun's Weekly Report Shows a Disturbing
Factor in the Foreign Demand For Gold
The Crop Prospects Bright and Grain
Lower in Price.
NEW YORK, May Or. G. Dun e Co. s
Weekly Review of Trade says: The
struggle to sustain Russian securities
against the disfavor of the Rothschilds,
the demand for gold by German bank
ers and the threatened Withdrawals of
Russian gold from deposit in England,
France and Germany account for much
of the unusual movement of specie
which hasbeen in progress.
May starts off with great plunge in
speculative prices which has for some
weeks been anticipated. Wheat fell
Is cents in as many days. Sales here
last week were but IS, 900, 900 bushels,
with net decline of SO cents, and
while corn has declined 31s cents in
sympathy and many spectators have
suffered, the sales have been but H.
900, 900 bushels. An element of great
strength is the accommodating
evidence that the wheat pros
poets in the west are remark
ably good, the acreage having increased
heavily, third in Kansas and quar-
ter in Washington. The unusually cold
weather, while iniuring fruit and veg
etables at many points, does not appear
to have seriously affected the larger
crops, which promise exceptionally
| we'll After such high prices as have
been realized farmers are widely in

wheat, oats and corn, especially as the
foreign advices foreshadow larger de-
mand for wheat.
With such an agricultural outlook the
demand for manufactured products of
all kinds is likely to improve and thus
the great industries will be ped

OBNOXIOUS BONDS.
Cass and ST. Clair Counties. Mo-, Resist
Paying FOR Railroads That Were Never

Cass and ST. Clair Counties. Mo-, Resist
Paying For Railroads That Were Never
Built.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May ct looks
rs il there might yet be trouble in the
execution of recent judgments in tho
bond cases against Cass and st. Clair
counties. 1t will grow out of the re-
fusal of the judges of the county courts
to levy tax for the payment of these
Judgments.
Deputy Marshals Oechsli and Siddell
have just returned from the county
seats of those counties, and they say
that the three judges of each county
announce their determination to go to
jail rather than order a tax on the peo-
pie. There are two judgments against
st. Clair county, one in favor of b. ID.
Stewart and the other in favor of the
Ninth national bank of New York, ag-
gregating over 100000 The county
owes altogether S700, 900.
When Deputy Marshal Oechsli served
the papers on the judges yesterday they
told him that they would never order n
tax, that they had been elected only
under promise to the people never to
levy a tax for the payment of these
bonds and that they not only did not
feel like doing it, but were afraid to.
They said, however, that they would
not run off to the woods, but would be
found at home when wanted by any or
der of court.
The condition of affairs in Cass
county is even more desperate. Judg-
ment was rendered some time ago in
favor of Albert Parker, capitalist of
San Diego, Cal, for about 100000. A
mandamus ordering levy of tax was
granted by the court and disregarded,
and Marshal Siddell's visit this time to
Harrisonville, the county seat, was to
arrest the county judges for contempt
of court
The three gentlemen were arrested
and gave bond in the sum of $1,000 to
appear before the court in Kansas City
the second Monday in June. They say
that nothing will compel them to take
the obnoxious steps and that if neces-
sary they will go to Jail or submit to
any other penalty which the court
wishes to impose.
The bonds are railroad bonds voted
by the counties about twenty years ago.

THE Novoe Vremya declares that
when the contract for the new Russian
four per cent loan was about con-
cluded at Paris the Rothschilds made
demands affecting the Jews of Russia
which the Russian government reject
ed. Thereupon the Rothschilds with
drew from the negotiations But the
object of depressing Russian securities
failed. Russia has an immense deposit
in foreign banks, and although the
Rothschilds have delayed for time
the projected conversion loans, they
cannot influence the conversion of the
internal debt

QUAKER CITY CRASH.

Philadelphia Excited Over Two Bank Sus-
pensions.
PHILADELPHIA, May 9.-Under an or
der received from the Comptroller of
the Treasury Lacy the doors of the
Spring Garden national bank were
closed at IL o'clock yesterday.
The news of the suspension spread
through the city like wildfire, and it
was not long before the frightened de-
positors began to gather around the
bank building at Twelfth and Spring
Garden streets. On the stock exchange
the brokers were very much excited
and while many of them were prepared
for the crash they did not expect the
comptroller to act Immediately.
Scarcely had the announcement of
the failure of the Spring Garden bank
been made before there was rumor
afioat that the Penn Safe & Trust De-
posit Co, also located at Twelfth and
Spring Garden streets, had also sus-
pended payment
To the general public the crash was
a great surprise, for at the last sale of
the Spring Garden bank stock, on April
%, 1891, the price obtained was Sl2l.50,
which is exactly S21.50 above par. The
capital stock of the institution was
quoted at $3.50, 900 and there was sup
posed surplus of $50. 900. Adividend of
az per cent. was paid upon the capital
stock at the last annual meeting.

grants are arriving there from Canada,
and that they usually arrive by train
that reaches Detroit at midnight. On
account of the unreasonable hour and
lack of force he has, he says, great diff
Guilty in properly inspecting the immi-
grants. Treasury officials do not see
how, under the law, they can increase
the number of inspectors at port, and
of course they cannot regulate the ar
