DEATHS HERE AND ELSEWHERE.
Bum, Last of the shinnecocks.

William Bum, the last full-blooded In
dian on the Shiunecock reservation, died in his
little cabin on the borders of the happy hunt
ing grounds of his tribe IN the Shinnceock hills,
L. l., Tuesday. The old brave had been stricken
with grip, complicated with pneumonia. Bum
was direct descendant of the ruling family in the
Shinnecock tribe. He always maintained his in
dependence and kept alive the traditions of his
remnant of his who sought by appeal to the
President to have the Shinnecock hills restored to
the reservation. The Shinnecock Indians were
good sailors and many of them became whaemen.
Bum had made several successful voyages on
whaling ships out of Sag Harbor. The tribe was
nearly annihilated a few years ago by the sudden
breaking up of the steamer Circassian, stranded
the beach off SouthamDtOn.

Cashier De La Green Says President Bow
man VIII Be Arrested

WnLIAMsPoRT, Pa, Jan. 13-[SpectdLl J.
Bank Examiner Dengler, with two
assistants, are working at the books
OF the suspended Murcy bank, and
promise a statement soon. Cashier
De La Green said this afternoon the
President, John NJ. Bowman, and the bank
directors would be arrested before morning.
Regarding the safe combination, which is al
legged to have been forgotten two years ago,
Mr.. Green said he gave the combination to
Bowman al that time, and that all the money
was there two years ago.
A heavy depositor said tonight the deficit
would be made up and the bank would re-
sumo. Deputy United States Marshal Yaeger
is in Muncy tonight, and it is believed other
arrests will be made as soon as the examiner
reports. 1t is said false entry has been dis
covered, making the shortage 5000 more, or
S21 600 in all. President Bowman laughs at
Green's threats. 1t is said at least three
stockholders in the bank drew out their de-
posits over two months ago, and since that
time have disposed OF all their property.

THE POLLING BOOTH DIFFICULTY.

A Device of the State Commission to BE
Dropped for Several Good Reasons.
HARRISBURG, Jan. l3.-[Specfai 1.-The State
Commission is expected to reconsider its
selection of a polling booth which was de-
vised by the members.
1t has been discovered that it conflicts
with two patents; that it cannot be manu-
factured at the price fixed, "a S.. that no ar
rangement has been made by curtain or
door at the entrance of the booth to insure
the privacy demanded by the Baker ballot
law, and that the booth, not being built
solid to the ground, will aid in the purchase
of votes, as a voter can slip his ballot sheet
to his neighbor, who can fx it and return it,
and as each voter receives but one ballot,
there will be no opportunity for him to
change ballots after receiving u bribe.

Proceedings against Pittsburg Sunday

that the whole matter will be dropped. Law

of needed work for the 1eague in Pittsburg,
work that can be accomplished. The

to stop the publication of newspapers ON

JAMES G.. BLAINE.

The announcement In the Monday
morning papers Of the withdrawal o'
James &. Blaine as q candidate fol
presidential hono's fell like q wet
blanket on the Republicans of the
west, and IL will be some time before
they can recover from the surprise
and disappointment accustomed by his
letter TO the chairman Of the Repub-
lican central committee. There was
but one Republican candidate in the
west and had his name been permitted
TO go before the convention The "plum.
ed knight" would undoubtedly have
been nominated oil the first ballot.
Not that Harrison was weak, but
Blaine was stronger, and had been
growing steadily in favor during the
past two years until it seemed as il
the whole country could unite OH him
aud elect him. Blaine would undOubi-
eddy have carried New York aud his
name would have brought abont a
unity of feeling in all the disaflected
eastern states. Republican papers do
not pretend TO ignore the fact that the
party has los; its foremost candidate
and strongest man, but do not give up
the hope of re.elccting Mr.. Harrison.
The Democratic papers are jubilant
over the letter of withdrawal and feel
confident of victory as consequence.
The New York Herald wisely urges
the Democrats 10 unite on some good
western man, leaving both Hill and
Cleveland out in the cold.
That the Republicans will now
unite on Harrison is beyond question.
His administration has 10 them been
eminently satisfactory and he Is in
perfect touch with the party on all the
main issues Of The day. The silver
question may cause some division in
Republican ranks, but the Democrats
are also divided on the question and
their candidate will probably not DIFF
fer materially from Mr.. Harrison on
the subject Of free coinage.

ANOTHER "RErORm" MEASURE.

A rumor was started on the Chicago
board of trade Tuesday that the Wash
burn option bill had been favorably
reported upon by the committee. AS
consequence wheat slumped off four
cents per bushel. If wheat goes down
four cents OH a rumor what would II
do should the bill become law? And
yet all classes of people, from the elder
who prcsidcs over the conference to
the uncertain individual who presides
over the Kansas joint, tavors this bill.
The best posted operators in grain be-
lieve that with such law duly ell.
forced wheat world sell down to sixty
cents in Chicago, which would mean
forty-five cents to the Kansas farmer.
II is in vain to try to stem The tide
of reform. "The masses must be lift
ed" as granny Frances Willard says,
even though it ends in starvation and
ruin. Simply because few profess
sional gamblers gather around the
curbstones and deal in puts aud calls
all legitimate speculative trade must
be stopped. That the masses are very
ignorant Of the true state of affairs Is
plain 10 he seen, as every business man
knows that speculation and sharp COM
petition are the life Of trade. The
twenty or thirty millions Of bushels of
wheat carried in the public elevators
would have to lie on the poor farmers
hands were il not for the spectators
aud option dealers. There would be
forced sales and no buyers, low prices
and beggary to the producers, were
there no future deliveries. Specula-
ton never causes low prices, but active
speculation always causes high prices.
The Washburn Optiois bill Is likely
to become u law, but unless 1t is In
operative, as Most reform laws are of
necessity, the grain producer aud the
grain dealer " i'll both go 10 The wall.
