metal. The exterior will be painted a
dark terra Gotta color. Electric hoist
elevators and easy stairways will con-
veniently lead from the entrance to the
upper stories. Above the first story
there are five floors. They are inclined
and consist of series of broad steps ex-
tending across the tower. Numerous
windows light the interior, balconies
provide interesting outlooks for visit
ors, and at the top of the tower an ex-
tensive view Of the surroundings and a
mid-air realization may be had. A
spacious buffet, serving light refresh
ments, will be in the top story, and
about midway will be the tower curl
osity shop. The visitor can also reach
the foundation and view it's construc-
ton. In building the cantilever or T.
tower for exhibition purposes it will
make the greatest leaning structure in
the world, and be unique in many par
ticulars. Besides affording an attrac-
tive sight for visitors it will present a
novel display of the application of metal
to all building purposes.
Scarcely less interesting is the sug
gestion offered by Oberlin Smith, of
Bridgeton, n. j., who has submitted
designs for one of tn. most unique
structures ever proposed. It is for a
mammoth tower, with huge oscillat-
ing beam, from the ends of which
would be suspended two big globes, in
which visitors would be admitted and
raised eleven hundred feet above the
ground. The beam would be on the
principle of a see-saw, and would be.
beyond question, the biggest thing Of
the kind ever devised Mr.. Smith is an
engineer of great reputation.

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 o!
the failure Of the Spring Garden bank
been made before there was a rumor
afioat that the Penn Safe s. 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 s12L50,
which is exactly Sa1.5o above par. The
capital stock of the institution was
quoted at ST5O. 900 and there was a sup.
posed surplus of $50. 600. A dividend OF
~ per cent was paid upon the capital
stock at the last annual meeting.

TRADE REVIEW.

Dun's Weekly Report Shows Disturbing
Factor in the Foreign Demand For Gold
The Crop Prospects Bright and Grain
Lower in Price.
NEW YORK, May 9.-R. G. Dun & 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
l. cents in many days Sales here
last week were but %, 600, 600 bushels,
with a net decline of 55s cents, and
while corn has declined SIS cents in
sympathy and many spectators have
suffered, the sales have been but H.
600, coo 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 a quar-
ter in Washington. The unusually cold
weather. while injuring fruit and veg
etables at many points, does not appear
to have seriously affected the larger
crops, which promise exceptionally
well After such high prices as have
been realized farmers are widely in
clined to put in a greater acreage of
wheat. oats and corn, especially as the
foreign advices foreshadow a larger de-
mand for wheat
With such an agricultural outlook the
demand for manufactured products of
all kinds is likely to improve and thus

OBNOXIOUS BONDS.

Cass and St. Clair Counties. No., Resist
Paying For Railroads That Were Never
Built.
KANSAS CRY, Mo-, May at looks
as if there might yet be trouble in the
execution of recent judgments in the
bond cases against Cass and st. Clair
counties 1t viii 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 q tax on the peo-
pie. There are two judgments against
ST. Clair county, one in favor Of B. d.
Stewart and the other in favor of the
Ninth national bank of New York, ag-
gregating over $780, 600 The county
owes altogether S1OO, 900.
When Deputy Marshal Oechsi served
the papers on the judges yesterday they
told him that they would never order a
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 bs
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, a capitalist Of
San Diego, Cal, for about 500, 600. A
mandamus ordering levy of tax was
granted by the court and disregarded,
and Marshal Siddel1's visit this time to
Jacksonville. 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 81, 900 to
appear before the court in Kansas City
| the second Monday in June. They say
| that nothing win 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.

COVERING THEIR TRACKS.
A Palpable Fraud Contemplated by Sec
rotary Foster.

A Palpable Fraud Contemplated by Sec
rotary Foster.
Reports from Washington and the re-
cent visit of Secretary Foster to New
York point to a state of affairs in the
treasury that causes some sOlicitude to
the department officers. 1t is an easy
matter for the president to laud the
generosity of congress in his southern
speeches, but further north, at Wash
ington, the presidents subordinates
are finding it hard to make both ends
meet. The billion dollar congress has
begun to strain the treasury's resources.
1t is frankly conceded that in Sep
TENDER the government will be una bile
to meet it's debts. In that month fifty
two million dollars of four and a half
per cent. bonds will become due and
the treasury will not have enough
money to pay them. Secretary Foster,
accordingly, proposes to take the law
into his own hands, override congress
and devise a temporary makeshift to
conceal the deficit. OF the ffty-two
million dollar bonds which come due
in September about one-haf are held
as the basis for national bank note
circulation. The banks are willing to
keep these bonds even after they are
due, provided the government will
allow even a small rate of interest.
Without the shadow even of warrant
of law Secretary Foster proposes to ex-
tend these bonds for number OF years.
reducing the interest to two per cent
While the scheme may have merit as
q financial device, it is q palpable fraud
on the people. First, it will deceive
them as to the actual state OF thei1
treasury. The people are entitled te
know what money congress has voted
| into and out of the treasury. Secretary
| Fosters financiering covers up that
knowledge. Second, it is an unlawful
exercise of power by the secretary Of
the treasury. By what warrant doe:
he assume, independent Of congress, tc
refund one dollar of the public debt;
What right has he to stop payments fol
the sinking fund, as it is announced
that he proposes to do? Measures te
accomplish both of these purposes wert
before the late congress, and every in
telligent democratic newspaper theI
pointed out that they were made neces
sary by the extravaganza OF congress
itself. The republican majority failet
to pass those measures, they ran away
from Washington without making thu
usual statement of the total appropria
tons, and the republican party nov
calls on the secretary of the treasury
in violation of law, to cover up and CON
ceal the havoc wrought by congress
