DoCTAH DRIVER was billed for Ft.
Wayne Decoration Day along with
several other attractions-notably a
bicycle race, Salvation Army and mer-
ry-go-round. The Doctah no doubt
proved the feature of the day, and we
don't begrudge him the distinction.
But there are several things he can't
do;--He can't re.enact the war; he
can't share any claim to having "put
down the rebellion" beyond being the
son of veteran; and he can't come
bowling around Napoleon with an
armful of bloody shirts without we
"up" and sit "down" upon him with
both feet and several hands. Napoleon
has not yet recovered from the Doctah's
very Inappropriate remarks last year
and in all sincerity we do hope
the currying we gave the Doctah will
result beneficially to him. He is a
precocious youth and little bridling
of his boyish enthusiasm will ultimate
ly bring him out alright.

GHAS, FOSTER FAILED.

Friday morning Ex-Gov. and Secre-
tary Of the Treasury Chas. Foster as
signed to J. B. Gormley, president Of
the First National Bank Of Fostoria.
To very few 1t was known for some
time that he was involved but to the
many 1t was a complete surprise as he
was always looked upon as q several
times millionaire.
The Ex-Governor comes forward
with q statement of the situation
which is q manly and straight forward
document. He deeply deplores the
situation and assigns his trouble to
politics aud an over jealous stand
point in behalf of Fostoria. After
enumerating the large concerns Of that
city with which he Is connected he
closes with:
do not know that at my time OF
life ought to indulge In the hope OF
being able to repair my fortunes and
pay my debts. That shall try will be
the one end for which shall live. In
this hour of uDspeakable distress,
only crave the generous judgment of
the public, judgment that will be
deeply shocked over the downfall of q
man who has enjoyed their confidence
TO marked degree.
The aggregate amount Of the liabili.
ties, including the deposits, my indi-
vidual debts, the three glass compan-
les, the brass and iron works company,
the light and power company, will be
about $500, 900. The assets on paper
will more than cover the liabilities.
Mr.. Wilkinson has secured the school
fund and the building and loan associ-
alton fund against loss.

THE nomination OF Judge Donnelly
for common please judge is worrying
the Republican brethren of the press.
Don't worry, brethern. The district is

convention is entitled to congratulation
for nominating so good man as Judge
Donnelly. 1t is something that DEM
ocratic convention is n, often guilty
of.-Holgate Times.
Why, man alive, it is something the

Speculation Forces Him TO the Wnn-A
Blow TO FostoriA-
FosToRIA, o., May 27.-Ex-Secretary
Charles Foster and the Fostoria Bank
ing company have assigned. The ex-
secretary was in business in this city as
dry good merchant, and soon after
the war closed helped to organize the
Fostoria National bank. BY shrewd
speculation in real estate he became
wealthy, and, in 1879, when elected
governor Of Ohio for the first time, was
reputed to be worth 81, 1000.
During the next four years he lost
heavily in Lake Superior copper mines.
In natural gas and street railway specu-
lations at Findlay during its temporary
boom he invested largely. When the
bubble burst, he with many others,
was caught for many thousands of
dollars. he also lost by indorsing
notes for business and political friends.
Since then he has attempted to recoup
his losses, but only became more deeply
involved. The crash was temporarily
averted by his appointment as secretary
of the treasury. 1t is thought he will
at best not be able to more than pay his
debts. 2i
The extent Of the failure is so great
that its significance can scarcely be
realized. A half dozen prominent in
dustries will 90 to the walls, and hun
dreds Of people will be. thrown out of
employment. The loss to business
men who were depositors in Foster &
Company's bank is one deplorable
feature of the crash, but it is confident
ly believed that none of them will suf-
fer to any very great extent.
The loss to Fostoria is agreat one and
one that will require considerable time
to recover from, but great as it is the
regret on this account in no way lessons
the regret and sympathy expressed for
the secretary. 1t is generally conceded
that his unstinted generosity and phe-
nomenal public spirit have been the in
direct cause of his financial downfall,
as he was ever ready to lend helping
hand to the poor and worthy.
The assignee is j. B. Gormlee, q
prominent banker of Bucyrus, and a
warm friend of Mr.. Fosters. The liza
bilities are given out by Mr.. Foster as
being $500, 900, and the assets as about
the same.
One of the last acts of Mr.. Foster as
secretary, three months ago, was to au-
thorize the printing of millions of
United States bonds, to keep up the
gold reserve. Secretary Carlisle's re-
fusal to allow these bonds to go out has
occasioned all the opposition of Wall
street to him.
The failures caused considerable ex-
citement.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 27.-A rather re-

Borgia was developed in this city, when
Anna Wagner, a domestic, employed in
the family of Charles Koesters, WELL

charge of murder. ....
Tuesday morning Mrs. Clara Koes-

peculiar trouble. Her son, Charles
Koesters. notified Coroner Beck and
demanded an immediate and searching
investigation, telling him that four
other members of his family had died
under similar circumstances. He point
ed to Anna Wagner, the servant girl,
as being instrumental in bringing about
the deaths. The coroner and Drs. Carey
and Eisenbeiss held an autopsy, and
unmistakable evidences of arsenic were
found.
