Caused q suspension OF the Firm
New YORK December 90 The failure Of
Wayland Trask g. Co., of Isl Wall street,
was announced at the New York Stock
Exchange this afternoon. The firm con-
sisted of Wayland Trask, Theodore Bald
win and A N. Rankin.
The suspension is due to the fact that
one of the partners. Mr.. Theodore Bald
win, has been specializing on his own ac-
count and with the firms money. He has
lost in this way about $150,0O0. Moth
ing was known of his opera
tons Until Monday or Tuesday, when some
Of the banks sent into Trask & Co. for ad-
ditional margin on their loans. This led
to an investigation, and it was discovered
that the books were all wrong and that
many fictitious entries had been made
upon them. Mr.. Trask saw that he could
not nonorably continue in business and re-
solved to suspend.

POLITICIANS IN NEW YORK.
Several Prominent Members of Each Party
There.

NEW York, December 29.--There were
number of prominent politicians in town
to-day. Besides Speaker Crisp and Con-
gresham Owen Scott, Of Illinois, who ar
rived yesterday, there was Senator Cor
man, Of Maryland, ex-Speaker Reed, Sen
ator Chandler and Senator Harris.
The two topics for conversation was the
New York Senatorship and the proposed
extra session of Congress-.
The general impression prevailed that
notwithstanding Mr.. Cleveland's avowed
hostility to Mr.. Murphy that the latter
would be the candidate OF the organized
Democracy when the Legislature meets TO
elect a successor to Mr.. Hiscock. Re-
garding the extra session Of Congress it
was current at the hotels frequented by
Washington politicians that in all likeli-
hood Mr.. Cleveland would call one for
SeDtember.

was in circulation here tonight that the

The ship has not been sighted anywhere
of the Nova Scotia coast, every part Oh
which has been communicated with from
Yarmouth to Canso. The value OF the Um-
bria and her cargo is roughly estimated at

in London and the remainder in Liverpool.

Are you for Democracy, Third party or

Calling Mr. CasSano a democrat does
not make him one. Voting for the late
Governor Davis and Col. Belknap is a
poor proof of democracy.
The old fashion ticket furnished to the
men whose registration certificates are
locked up in safes will not be of any ben
eft to such voters; if they cannot make
out this ticket they must furnish the
names of their candidates to the election
judges.
There are good men on both tickets. but

any longer, and more especially when
such man as Captain Poor stands ready

A Small News Boy on the Road TO
PeIdIt,On.
AS las been previously published
in the LIGHT. Fred Ledhetter is q
news boy, aged 10 years, who has
been a frequent visitor to the city
prison on various charges, for theft,
being a suspicious character and
fighting. Yesterday he was arrested
on the charge of theft, also horse
theft and was lodged in Jail. He had
been released by the city jsilor from
prison only two days, after having
served out q five days sentence for
fighting.
On Wednesday afternoon, Ralph
Noonan, son of Judge Geo. 81. Noon
an, tied his pony in front of St.
Mary's college and entered the build
ing. On returning he found his horse
missing. The officers were notified of
the strange disappearance OF the ami
NAL and kept q close watch for some
clue to the thief. Deputy Sheriff Nc.
Closkey, hearing of a pony having
been offered for sale by q small boy,
at once suspected young Ledbetter
and arrested him. 1t was later
learned that he was guilty and also
that he had stolen q bride and sold
It to one G. P. Lsngtry, ofPlesssnton,
who was also arrested on the charge
of receiving stolen goods. He is In
Jail, not being able TO give the re-
quired bond, 5000.
Ledbetter, though bright lad ma
turaIly, is as old in vice as can be and
this time he will probably begin his
residence in the penitentiary.

Degener will make a.better county clerk

himself don't think he would make a bet
be gained by turning out Thad Smith and
putting in a raw hand? Nothing at all,
submit the question to business men," |
quote the entire paragraph in reference
TO Smith. and in reply will say that Mr..
Degener'S friends, claim that he is a good
business man and will make just as good
clerk as Smith, and that the business of
the office would not suffer one moment by
the change, and that Smith has
held the office for years and does
not need the fees of the office and
that he is one OF the principals in the
the infamous importation of ignorant
MeXicans to control our elections: Smith
is believed by many to be the ring leader,
superior to Callaghan in executive ability,
and he above all others ought to be
squelChed. that the office cannot be run
without his aid is too absurd to REQUIRE
notice. Mr.. Degener is acknowledged by
all to be gentleman, and under no cir
CumstanceS, would be a party TO the
fraud practiced if he could be elected by
even encouraging them in Others 1t is
not proper to ask the people to elect any
one to Office, by plea Of need, as it is
not the duty of the county to enquire into
the private needs Of its citizens. but if any
such claim should exist we would say
that il there is any truth in the outside
statements as to the value OF the office.
Smith has certainly already amassed a
fortune and does not need 1t. Now let
another have a chance at the plum, and
why not Mr.. Degener. B. c.
