ECCENTRIC MR.. SQUIRE.

Squire is even more eccentric, more
humorously peculiar, than Mr.. Camp, at
least in his off-hand relations with men,
He looks like q subdued poet and he walks
like philosopher, and brings to his coun-
teuance when he chats with men that ex-
preston which is called the pale cast of
thought. In his habits he is as punctual as
Shrewsbury clock was said to be. He
was the personification Of method. Yet
when bankers called upon him and he had
leisure, he was always anxious TO en-
gage in controversy with them upon
the science of government, and would
become quite enthusiastic and eloquent as
he denounced politics and politicians, and
declared that the ideal government was that
In which there was no vote. He was proud
Of his record as a man who had never
voted, and used 10 declare with grandiIo-
quent gesture that he would as soon think
or picking pocket as of casting q vote.
his mind was as clear as crystal on finan-
cial subjects, but he lad muddy theology
which. while he often preached it in the
clearing ho1se. never brought to him a sin
gle convert. He had founded a sect and he
was the only member Of it, ana bankers
who were weary, and wanted a half hours
amusement used frequently to drop into the
clearing house that they might enjoy the
high comedy furnished by Mr.. Squire's dis
sertatioBs and manner as he discussed the
science of government and the theologies.
And they used to wonder how it happened
that man who was so eccentric and out
landish in these respects was able to carry
on an Office of great responsibility with such
precision and satisfaction as Squire did his.
Between Squire and Camp there was abso-
lntely no sympathy, aud each regarded
the other, outside of his official duties, as a
most incomprehensiole and puerile charac-
ter.
What the clearing house will do in regard
to these accusations the members have not
yet decided. There is some tendency to
overlook them, and yet they are Of such
serious import, and have been made with
the formality of oath, that there is some
feeling that it is due Mr.. Camp that they
should be thoroughly IN Investigated.

No Bugs in the News.

From the HdWkinsvirle (GG.) Dispatch and

1t used to be no uncommon thing for us
to find bedbugs when perusing some Of our
exchanges; in fact this occurred so often
that when we opened certain paper we in
variably began a search for his bugship.
and generally found him occupying his ac-
customed position, on the editorial page, at
the top of column and next to reading mat
ter. Why it was that he always selected
this special place, we are unable to say but
are inclined to the opini IN that it was for
the purpose of indicating the editors pres
ence, or else initiating the patent medicine
advertisers.
We were a little surprised, however, the
other day TO receive an exchange contain
ing what we took TO be gold. But when
we reflect that the paper was the SAvAN-
NAH MORNING NEWS, our astonishinent is
not so great after all, as the mystery is
easily solved. 1t was a very small piece Of
gold, and was firmly embedded in one of
the pages Of the paper, being visible from
either side, and as fat as filter, thus
showing that it had passed through the
press. Ii was no doubt swept from the
NEWS mint, and accidentally found its way
into the press
Verify, the NEws is a live paper, and

able to discover.

New YORK, Nov 13.-The business

States 253, and for Canada SO, or total OF
29l, compared with 266 last week and 255

week last year the figures were 266.
Business has entirely recovered from the
slight disturbance caused by the Maverick

Offering and rates are steady. Trade is
large in volume for the season, and in many
lines, espet tally at the west, the largest ever
known. But the margins for profits are
narrow, and the tendency of prices is not
toward improvement in that respect, for
while breadstuffs advance most manuf0ct-
ured products tend to decline.
"The record of NOR cages satisfied in
western counties show that enormous sums
are taken for that purpose by the farmers
from their receipts SO that the usual pro-
portion OF money paid for crops goes to can
eel debts created in past years. Doubtless
this In part explains the fact that the de-
mand for various manufactured products
has not yet increased as largely as was ex-
pected in view Of the great crops raised.

ACCUSED OF T.
Joe Mulhatton, AmerIca's Biggest
Liar, Falls from Grace.


PTTTsBURG, Pa, Nov. 11.-Joe Mulhatton,
well known throughout the country as
''Orange Blossom the writer of some of the
most startling and marvellously untrue stor-
les ever published by the newspapers, was
arrested here today, charged with stealing
money from Patrick O'Toole, a room mate.
O'Toole alleges that he met Mulhatton IN a
saloon last night, and having missed his
train accepted an invitation to share Mulhat-
toms room for the night. When he arose
this morning Mulhatton was missing and so
was his money. He reported the matter to
the authorities, the accused was arrested
this morning. He denied taking the money,
but the amount said to have been taken was
found in his possession. He was locked up
for hearing this morning.
Joe Mulhattan is known in every city in
the United States and has probably caused
more trouble in newspaper offices than any
other man in the country. His wild fakes,
written in the most plausible style. have
more than once caused the special correspond
ents of the progressive journals of the United
States to hurry from coast to coast to in
vestigate some wonderful occurrence which
only existed In the imagination Of the great
liar. Some months since he was sent to the
WaShingtonian lnebriate asylum in Chicago,
but was released about two months ago. He
came to this city last week and has been here
ever since.

ESCHEITED TO THE UNITED STI TES.
Property ~UnIawfulIy Held by the Nor
mon Ibur.h-


SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Nov. 11.-Judge
Zane this morning handed down a decision
which declares the tithing Office, the Gardo
house, the historians office, the church farm
and a half interest in valuable coal lands,
property OF the late corporation of the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, es-
cheated to the United States. In reviewing
these cases the court said they came under
the laws Of congress, approved March 3, 1887,
which prescribes that it shall be the duty
OF the attorney general to proceed
with such steps as are necessary to
escheat any and all property of the Mormon
church held in violation of the law of 1862,
which declares that it shall not be lawful for
the church to hold property In excess of
$4,000.
1.-TWO of the ~tracts,n said the court, ''were
taken possession OF before the act of 1862 and
held by the church at the time. 1t appears
the Gardo house has been occupied by the
president of the church up ID the time the
United States receiver took possession. There
is a question whether this property and the
historians office should be forfeited, hut the
supreme court decree under section II of the
act of March II, 1887, leaves no discretion
with this court and it is declared forfeited to
tho United States. If not found by that de-
cree | would say that the president of the
