He Has over so Dogs and VIII Go as
Far North as Possible Next Spring.
The steamer Falcon returned to St.
Johns, N. F., Tuesday by Bowdon bay,
West Greenland, having successfully ac-
complished the landing of the Peary expe-
dition at that place, Lieut.. Peary and his
party are all right, notwithstanding fire.
quent reports TO the contrary. He secured
over so dogs, and has % tons of walrus
meat upon which to feed the animals dur
ing the winter. Lieut.. Peary will make
his headquarters the coming winter at a
point about 40 miles north of his station
on the previous expedition. When the
Falcon started on her return trip August
20 Lieut.. Peary's house was nearly com
pleted and stores were being carried into
the interior ice camp, to be used next
spring. Lieut.. Peary proposes to occupy
the time till winter in exploring the ada
cent country, and Immediately upon the
opening of spring will start on his great
overland journey across Greenland to the
northern point reached last year on hide
pendence bay. Thence he will proceed as
far north as it is possible to get. He has
decided to return next summer and not re-
main till 1894, as was his original inten-
ton. 1t has been definitely settled that
the Falcon will return for him next year.

A Probable Denclt of $50 100000.

There is every indication that a deficit
in the United States treasury of S50,0OO,-
600 will exist at the end of the fiscal year,
June 80, 1894, unless measures are taken
to avert it. At the present rate of receipts
the aggregate receipts for the current fiscal
year will be $3.50, 100000. The rate of ex-
penditures for the past two months if con-
tinued through the rest of the year will
amount to $426, 900, 900. If this ratio
were kept up the deficit at the balance of
the year would therefore be nearly $780,
100000, but this ratio is not expected TO
continue. The receipts, it is believed, will
be greater and the expenditures lighter.

A Hard Rlow For suneook. Nh.

The little town of Snncook, n. H., is
seriously afflicted in a financial way. In
addition to having all of the industries of
the town suspended, and business at a
standstill many of the townspeople have
been practically ruined by the failure of
the Union Trust company of Kansas, of
which the missing financier, Donaldson,
was the head. The eastern president of
the concern, J. II. Hosmer, was a native
of Suncook, and it is estimated that in
the town, which comprises but 800
inhabitants, 100000 was invested in this
company. Many of the most prominent
citizens of the place were taken in, but
the loss falls the most heavily on those in
fair circumstances, many of whom took
the pittance they had saved to buy home
for their declining years and invested it in
the company.

The damage done to the Connecticut
oyster beds by the recent storm was much
greater than supposed. Leading growers
think the loss will exceed s., 100000.
Henry w, Loeb, an enterprising New
Yorker, who went to Montreal about a
year ago and started a prize clothing
lottery, is missing from that city. 1t is
said Loeb leaves many victims. He estab-
lished 81 clubs composed of 35 people each,
and the returns of these clubs netted Loeb
some 100000.
DR.. T. Thatcher Graves, who was in iail
at Denver, COL, awaiting a second trial for
the murder of Mrs. j. b. Barnaby, COM
mitted suicide Saturday night by taking
poison. Mrs. Barnaby was killed while
visiting in Denver, by drinking the con-
tents of bottle of whiskey sent her as a
present. The whiskey contained a solu-
ton of arsenic. DR.. Graves was Mrs.
Barnabys confident after the death of her
husband, the millionaire clothing mer-
chant of Providence. Mrs. Barnabys will
left $25, 900 to DR.. Graves. He was con-
victed of the murder, but carried the case
to the supreme court, which ordered a
new trial. The prosecuting officer, who
has recently been East, claimed to have
found new evidence. DIR. Graves left
letters in which he asked that no autopsy
be made, and stated that he died 'from
persecution"

Cholera at IersrY CITY.

There appears to be no doubt that there
has been genuine Asiatic cholera in Jersey
City, scientific investigation having shown
beyond question that four persons have
died in the City hospital there of the dis
ease. The remarkable thing about these
cases is that absolutely no connection has
been traced between the victims and any
infected ship or port. 1t is gratifying to
know that the authorities are taking every
precaution to stamp out the disease where
it has been found, and it is to be hoped
that they will succeed.

The Ending of a Great strike.

About 10000 striking miners in South
Wales and Monmouthshire are at work
again. They demanded an increase of 20
per cent in wages, but they will receive the
same as before the strike. The total loss
of wages during the strike is about 3d.
100000. Forty thousand other miners
will probably return to work within few
days. The decision of the Welsh miners
has depressed the spirits of the English
strikers, as the Welshmen were considered
the most uncompromising of all the 400,-
600 GOLFERS who went out.

The Chicago Droyers, Journa

The Chicago Drovers' journal tells a
strange story of the finding of gold medal
in the paunch of a steer recently slaugh-
tered in Armour & Co.'S yards. The en-
craving on the medal shows that it was
given to young woman at Ursulina acad-
envy, Dallas, Texas, and the most pecu-
liar feature of the case is that the bunch
of cattle from which the steer came was
brought from the gulf coast section of
Texas, and the steer was never closer to
Dallas than 400 miles.

A Financial Sensation at Fall River.

Several banks in Fall River which have
discontinued notes secured by bills of lad

away, who for a score of years has been
one of the largest factors there, have
failed to find all the cotton represented.
An investigation is now in progress. The
amount involved is $l75, 900. How much
of the collateral is good is yet to be ascer-
tanned, but it is feared the amount will
prove to be very small.

Four women have been murdered and
mutilated within the four days in COST

Cabsand, the Netherlands. All were of

Mrs. c. r. Fisk, wealthy widow of Bos-

nothing but wash bottles, while
opening a large large bottle this
morning about 1890 o'clock, cut
his hand, the neck Of the bottle
having broken while he was hand

deep. He was taken into private
room and the wound was properly
cared for, several stitches taken.

A WoRKINGMAN'S VIEWS.
How to Make Better Times and
Help the Workingman.
San ANTONIO, Aug. 30, 1893.

SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 30, 1898.
To the Daily LIGHT.
We have heard the views of
bankers and statesmen and others
on the cause of the dull times.
With your permission | would like
to give the views of a workingman.
The remedy that | think ought to
be applied is this: Let the govern
ment establish postal saving banks
in all cities of 10000 inhabitants or
over, and take the peoples money
and pay per cent interest, and
with the money thus received pay
off all outstanding debts and re-
duce the expenses of the govern
ment. We all know that patriot
ism is at a low ebb in our country,
and it is an old and true saying
that where ones treasures are
there is our heart also. Every
workingman, who had dollar
in the hands of the government,
would feel like maintaining the
same and it would encourage them
to cultivate frugal habits in pros
porous times when wages are good.
We all know that savings bank
is snare and a delusiOn, and the
best national bank affords no Sc
curity to the depOsitOr, and before
the masses of the poor will again
trust their earnings to either of
| these banks there must be change
! in their way of doing business. 1t
| is a fact there are thousands of dol
lars in the hands Of the working
people which the banks will never
see. Our recent experience here in
our favored city teaches us this.
| They will be divided into two
classes, those who will hide their
money away and keep it out
of circulation, and those who
spend every cent as fast as
they receive it, and when they be-
come old and unable to work they
will be paupers if not criminals,
| and thus become a burden to the
state. 1t seems strange to us that
Mr.. Paschal, Mr.. Sayers, Mr.. Mills
or some of our able statesman who
love the dear people so dearly
Dust before the electton) would not
think of these things and endeaVOr
to so change theCOnditiOn of things
that the honest, intelligent work
ingman will not be driven to be-
come either a miser or pauper.
