WILMINGTON, VT, July 12. = On
of three big black bears that have terror
lied the towoship of Dearsbury had a
close call yesterday. ard even now a
great many people are OF the opinion
that bruin is no more. For some weeks
the bears nave BET n committing all sorts
of depredalions about the township.
They have killed sheep. carried of
lambs aud crushed down growing crops
until the farmers have been driven TO des-
peration. Numerous hunting parties
have tr led In Wa to drive the animals
into corner and traps that have been set
have beeh lett unmolested.
About u week ago Adam johnson, q
weil-to-do farmer residing IN the north

who spent an entire Sunday in digging a
covered pit. The spot selected was close
TO barn which had beeu visited "A great
many times BY the animals.
Early yesterday InornlnR Johnson's
hired man, French Canadian named
Joe, heard a furious -groaniag- and
whining as he was passing near the pit.
He ao once gave the alarm and in n short
time Mr.. johnson and his entire house
hold had gathered about the spot. The
only offensive weapon he had was one
old hint-.ock musket that had been bored
out TO shoot pigeons.
This he loaded with stones, and poi t..
ing it over the edge Of the pis succeeded, {,
after several attempts, in dischArging
full at Bruins head.
The gun kicked terrifcally as it went
of, and at the same instant it occurred
Mr.. Johnson went headloag into the pit
His wife tainted and Joe, only iesitating
an instant, sprang into the PIT to his
masters rescue armed with an axe.
His sacrifice proved needless for he had
hardly touched bottom when the bear
scram bled over the edge aud disdaining
to molest the UNCONSCIOUS woman and
scurrying children disappeared into the
woods. Mr.. Johnson was badly bruised,
but he and Joe spent the afternoon in

BUSINESS CRASHES.
An Unexpected and Serious Bank Failure
In Illinois.

SHEIBYvILLE, Ills, July 12.-Thornton's
Banking House, Thomas M. Thornton pro-
prietor, has made an assignment for the
benefit of creditors. The crash was wholly
unexpected, as the house has long been
looked upon as one OF the strongest privato>
banks in central Illinois. l. was the de-
pository of the county, city and township
funds, the county treasurer alone being In.
volved to the amount OF more than $50, 900,
Mr.. Thornton has large landed estates
and other good security, and it Is hoped he
will be able to pay dollar for dollar to all
depositors. He reserves nothing and In
any event will be left penniless. The bank
has always enjoyed large patronage and
been backed by ample capital and was
therefore popular depository for rich and
poor. Hundreds of business men and
farmers are involved, and the failure will
probably prove great blow to all business
interests. A statement of assets and lia-
bilities is promised this afternoon.
As result of the Thornton bank failure
Charles 4. Woodward of the Star mills Of
this city was compelled to assign today.
Liabilities. $4,000 assets, $35,000 G. s

YELLOW FEVER EPIDEMIC.
The State Department Has Not Yet Been
Oficially Notified From Brazil.

The State Department Has Not Yet Been
Onicially Notified From Brazil.
WASHINGTON, July 12-The state de
partment officials are puzzling over the
report brought by the captain Of the brig
Odorilla, from Santos, Brazil, of the fear
full epidemic OF yellow fever there for
months past. Such reports as have been
received from the consular officers this
year make no mention of the epidemic.
One of these reports was made by Consul
Berry on March last. and it contained
news Of the death of Henry G. Wadsworth,
whom the consul describes as secretary of
the consulate, but who was really clerk
employed by the consul. Since that date
nothing has been heard from Consul Berry,
either by the department or by his family.
The fact that the Odorilla was obliged to
sail without consular certificates Is taken
as an Indication that the consul has died
or has fed the place. A successor to his
place was named June % last in the per
son of Henry c. Smith, colored citizen
OF Alabama, but he has not yet gone to
his post

DENVER, Col, July 12-Antony's adj
dress 10 the Roman mob was not cir
cumstance to the intense excitement that
ragged for two hours at the State silver
convention. The leaders against the al
legged gold conspiracy OF the east rolled
forth invectives. covert threats aud open
rebellious and seditious sentences.
When a calm minded man attempted to
counsel caution and cool deliberation he
was promptly howled down amid
threats of expulsion.
Chairman Thomas said; This con-
vention recognizes no party or creed, but
is met to face conspiracy against
the liberty aud freedom Of the citizens.
The nation has dishonest dollar, and it
is the gold dollar Of Lombard and Wall
street."
4 Holden limited darkly that he WAS
through with talk. he now proposed to
act.
"All the institutions west of the Mis-
sissippi river will fail" he said. "and
when men become hungry they become
iusensible to reason. Then ! am ready
to act"
Waite Speaks.
The sensational feature OF the day was
the speech of the Populist Governor Waite.
Among other things he said; IF the money
power shall attempt to sustain its usurpa-
ton by the strong hand, we will meet
that issue when it is forced upon us for It
is better infinitely that blood should flow
to the horses brides rather than our ma
tional liberties be destroyed"
He also said: IF 1t is true that the United
States is unable to carry out its Govern
mental policy without the dictation or
consent Of foreign powers; Il We are
province Of European monarchies, then we
need another revolution, another appeal to
arms. II war is forced upon rs we will
send to Halifax q far greater army of
British tories, according to our population
Than our fore fathers sent there after the
evolutionary war"
In conclusion he said; Tho war has
begun; it is the same war which must al
ways be waged against oppression and
tyranny to preserve the Liberties Of men,"
A number of men endorsed the Govern
or's sentiments while others opposed them.
j. Cook, jr., led the opposition. He said:
eve are liable to do things we may
regret. appeal to you as naen not to do
to-day what you will regret tomorrow.
We are excited. We hardly know what
we are doing.
''Let us be reasonable and net as intelli-
gent men. We are going East as men to
educate men In the East. II we fail, then
is the time to act There is time enough
to talk as you feel now"
The debate was lengthy and the prevail
ing sentiment was evidently with the
Governor.
Colonel Platt asked, 1T the Sher nan
act is repealed. what will be the conSe-
qlenc f' A voice shouted--"We will
