ten, A. Nj. Andrews. j. p. Ward, III. NJ.
Travis and w. M. Smith. No ready
money was realized, Notwithstanding the
vociferous assertions that Mr.. WardTwas
ready to put up the cash on short
notice. These pretended interviews,
however, wrong Mr. Ward, who declares
that he has never made such statements
or anything like them. His ability to
meet such demands he says is greatly
and persistently overstated. On sign-
ing the bonds he justified for only $4,000
aud his financial condition has not been
much improved since. He is a loser In
other ways by the bank failure and re-
CARDS himself under no more obligation
to go further than other honorable
bondsmen in making the loss good. The
governing boards greatly desired that he
should accept Freudenfeld's proposition
to turn over property and make il go as
far as possible in making the shortage
good, but Mr.. Ward utterly refused any
such undertaking. The a%ttorneysof the
state. Judge Burt and Attorney Cen
eral Crawford, advised that there was
no other way in which the state could
accept such property as was offered, and
dispose of it and apply the proceeds,
ave through the regular court processes.
Mr.. Freudenfeld made his assignment
before any suits were commenced. His
schedule amounts, in its estimates, to
just a tritie more than the amount OF the
funds, and he owes about $1,000 aside
from this. 1t Is by putting and count
ing in his claim for these lost moneys
against the bank that he brings bis
assets up TO from $4,000 to $4,000, the
difference depending upon whether he
calls this claim worth $500 or its full
face, $500. In short Freudenfeld owes
the state $500, other parties $1,000,
making S15,4M In all. To meet it he
has about $1,000 outside of the bank. So
if his $4,000 property yields its full face
he will have to get $500 out OF his
bank CLAIM TO pay out even. This
would be over 10 cents on the dollar OF
his claim. No amount of loud talk will
ever make experienced business men be-
lieve that the bank will ever pay more
than half this, or that the property
scheduled will pay debts up to the face
Of its estimated value. There is 10
reason why the people should be hood
winked in this matter. The flood OF
Misrepresentation does Mr.. Freudenfeld
harm, the bondamen harm, the state
harm, and good to nobody. There may
be prudential reasons for not saying
very much, but what is said ought to be
plain truth.

Last Weeks Coast Storm q Little One
Compared With One Coming.
MMDLETowN. Conn, Aug. 29.-Hor-
ace johnson of this city. the weather
prophet who predicted the recent big
storm, says that there is another Of
still greater severity to come between
Sept. 8 and 10, in comparison with
which the recent tempest will be insig-
nificant. In his predictions MFR. John
son has not laid particular stress on the
storm just passed. but has said that
it would be followed by another which
would prove the worst in the country.
He predicts that q great tidal wave will
roll into the streets OF Boston and New
York, along the docks. and for a time
completely snbmerge them. He warns
merchants owning property In sea coast
cities to remove their goods along the
water front.

Chicago appears to be the best
financial market in the country these
times. New York hnanciers have done
much grumbllng recently at the liberality
of the Chicago banks in cash trans
actions. The past few weeks Mime
apolis and st. Paul have been planning
a scheme Of shipping receipts which
would keep farmers waiting for their
money until the returns came back from
the east OF from Europe. But western
elevator companies have taken the mat
ter into their own hands and with the
help Of Chicago banks will mov the
crop of Minnesota and the Dakotas.
Plenty OF currency and certified checks
arepromised.

Soldiers Killed Two and
Wounded Many.

MADRID, Aug. 2a.-The old City OF
Saragossa, capital Of the province Of
that name, was the scene or q serious
riot. growing out Of the dissatisfaction
Of the spectators at q bull fight with
the character of the performances. A
bull that had been driven into the ring
refused. despite the efforts OF the BAN
derillos, to display spirit enough to
make the fight interesting. The spec
tators demanded that another bull be
furnished as q victim for the torreado.
The managers of the ring refused to re-
place the spiritless animal. The crowd

materials they had piled in the bull
ring. The fire was extinguished by the
bull ring attendants and the crowd then
began to riot outside the bull ring.
rhe police then attempted to dispe1se
them and were greeted with o volley Of
stones. 1t was not until reinforcemants
arrived at the scene OF the trouble that
the mob was dispersed. Much difficulty
was met with in attempting to drive
the mob off and many rioters were
wounded by the police, who had to use
their swords to drive the men OF.
There was also q riot at San Sebas-
tian, the well known watering place in

assaulted them. The police and some
of the audience defended the musicians,
and a
Furious Riot Resulted.
The rioters were driven from the vi
cinity of the band stand. but they pro-
ceeded in a body to the hotel where
Senior Sagas.a, the prime minister, is
staying, and amused themselves by
stoning the building. The police were
unable to handle the men and troops
were summoned to aid them. When
the soldiers appeared they were stoned
by the mob, and many OF them were
cut and bruised by the missiles.
An oader was the. given for the
troops to fire with ball cartridges into
the crowd of now frenzied rioters The
order was promptly obeyed and two of
the rioters fell dead, while several OF
them were seriously wounded. The
prompt action Of the troops had the de.

DISMAL
London Times Bewails the English
Agricultural Outlook.

HSEtSuINuTAt OuttOoA-
LONDON Aug. 2S.-The Times in a
long leader on the dismal agricultural
prospects of Great Britain says that
foreign competition depresses the prices
of cattle and corn. The imports of an
imals and meat. 1t says, will swamp the
markets this year. Great Britain will
be more than ever dependent on foreign
supplies, and will require at least
2 5000. 600 quarters of wheat from
abroad. France, it adds, must import
more than twice as much as she usually
does. As to Germany. that country has
already begun todraw on the American
markets for supplies. When nations
thus bid against each other, the article
says there is a fair chance that prices
will advance.

MILD CRITICISM OF AMERICAN WOMEN.
After the children had set forth with
groom riding close to guard them Lady
Aberdeen returned to finish her pleasant
chat.
Are you thoroughly in touch with all
our women workers in American" l
asked: you who do so much, and plan
SO much, and yet are so domestic and so
womanly-do you sympathize to the
utmost with our congresses, our clubs.
our societies and our refOrms?"
The only fault / find with woman's
work, as | have encountered it here" re-
piled the lady, ''is that you capitalize the
woman rather than the work. In Eng
land we do much, but we always spell
woman with a little w. Do you under
stand? l would not for the world be
quoted as saying anything harshly criti-
cal about the noble women workers in
this country. Their methods are different
from ours, only we work very quietly IN
England, and we always place our homes
and our children above all else. 1t seems
to me, sometimes, that many OF the
American women put domestic matters
last, and promote mutual admiration So
cieties rather than practical work."
Il agree with YOU" said |, "moSt en-
phatically. There is less dignity than
one would like to see in many of our
feminine gatherings, and far less achieve
ment in practical things than there is of
self-laudation and congratulation."
By this time the influx Of cards became
so alarming that deemed it best to take
my departure. With feeling Of positive
regret l left the presence Of a woman
whose gracious charms and Intelligent
converse rank her foremost of the many
charming personalities we have come in
contact with during the never to be for
gotten delights of the great Columbian
Fair. Heaven bless her in her adopted
home, and may her bright smile never
grow din!
