The deal which brought ruin was one in which MT Hutchinson had a line of 2,5OO,- 900 or 3,OOU, ,OOO bushels of July corn bought up at 60 cents. \ portion of this was closed out at @ cents.
 When the crash camo, the old gentleman was too much broken down in spirits to face the inevitable. He boarded a train and went down into Indiana and did not return for five days. During that time all his trades were closed out and differences amounting to Sln0 OOO were made good by his son. Since Jan. l, 1891, Old Hutch" had lost Sl ,OOO, ,OO0 or g GOO, ,ooo all that was left of his large fortune.
 When he came back. he was cordially re ceived, but he felt the difference between being the greatest pluuGer on the board and being ruined man too keenly to stay here.
 He went to New York, where his career is we'll known. But he was not satisfied there. And when he came back here he was not satisfied with the experience he had gained in former years on the board. He felt the old desire to speculate, He did and lost the right to do 50 on the floor hereafter. Nowadays he may be seen around the hauuts of the hangers on of the board of trade men talking with the .pikers

The Blame Not Fixed.

General Manager F.. R. Reynolds and Superintendent w. H. Blood state that the cause of the accident is still unknown; that 1t is a Questio:. of veracity between Tower Switchman Mutt and Engineer Con- crite of the Rockaway train. The latter had reported that a heavy fog prevailed at the time which was true. He declared that signals were set at safety, indicating a clear road. and he went ahead without reducing speed.
 Suddenly Fireman Robert Price, his com panion, exclaimed, My God. there is train ahesd"' Looking ahead he saw through the mist the two red lights that always hang at the rear end of train. and he declares that he immediately reversed his engine and put on the steam brakes. Then he and Fireman Price jumped for their lives.
 When the wrecked engine was examined in the morning his statement as to the re versed lever and steam brakes was found to be true. The only remaining question was as to whether he or Mutt was right about the danger signal.
 In the morning it was set at danger and Mutt insisted that it had remained so ever since he set il to warn Engineer Concrite Manager Reynolds and Superintendent Blood took all these statements and will hold q rigid investigation today.

Ell PADRE RUFO


va que su diario da la noticia d.
que Sc construira en- este pueblo III
monumento a la memoria del sable
sacerdote doctor don Rufo Manue
Fernandez, quiero hacer conocer de
TALES que creo titles.
Esta resuelto que Sc construya Ia
carretera central, sobre la zona de
esta localidad pasando siempre poi
la calle de SAM. Al extreme sur de
dicha calle Sc halla Ell antique ce-
menterio abandonado y tapiada su
entrada desde fines del ano 1885.
En- el dicho cementerio Sc conser-
va intacto el panteon construido por
el que fue doctor don Sebastian Gil
menez, en- uno de sus nichos, que
yo conozco perfectamente, estan Sc
pultados los restos del padre Rufo.
Para la construction del nuevo
trozo de carretera ha de derribarse
la consabida tumba por estar situada
en- la nueva via. mo seria mucho
mejor que en- vez de una estatua Sc
construyese en- el actual cementerio
un sepulcro que guarde las cenizas
del benemerito maestro y protector
de los hUos de este suelo ?
Ei padre Rufo murio en- 1884, en-
la casa, casi arruinada hoy, que per-
tenece a la familia de don Ramon
Ortiz. LIE sirvio de capilla ardien-
la sala de la casa contigua, fabricada
en- aquellos momentos por don Vic
toriano Facundo y que hoy es pro-
piedad de don Mauricio Alvarez.
El entierro del sabio fue may con
currido. Sus restos llevados en- un
coche, arreglado con gusto y cubier-
to de pafios negros, asl como la her
mosa pareja de caballos que 10 tiraba. |
Llevaban las cintas del feretro don
Jose Julian Acosta, don Cayetano
Mufoz, don Nicolas Aguayo y don
Manuel A. Alfonso, todos disclpulos
que fueron del virtuoso sacerdote.
Despidio el duelo ell coronel de
ejercito don Juan Gonzalez Lafont.
Y sin embargo de la notable conmo-
oion que sufria, lego correctamente
don Jose Julian Acosta una oracion
51nebre que fue muy celebrada, escri-
"a por don Nicolas Aguayo.
Mi padre, retirado va del servicio
nilitar y muy anciano y achacoso,
al acto y tuvo profunda
oena al despedirse para siempre de
III querido y valiosc paisano.

particular de aquellos que le tratan por Ia
necesidad de realizar gestioues en- las que
tieue que intervenir como representante de la
dign1sima popular autoridad local de esa
ciudad senor don Jose de Nouvilas, pues ell
caracter brusco, el tono autoritario y la fall
