Drummer on tho Road Gets Rather
Discouraged and Defiant.
One of the tales which is just now
amusing the dry goods trade is mar
rated of man who last fall started
South. He stopped at city after city
without making a sale until at last he
became SO discouraged that, instead
OF entering his customers stores with
his usual self-confident air. he walked
listlessly, as though never expecting
to sell another bill in his life.
Leaving New Orleans he proceeded
to Memphis and sold nothing; to St
Louis and met with the same RESULT
Kansas City and ST. Joseph, Omaha
and Sioux City told the same tale
until at last he found himself in
customers store in Minneapolis with
his sample pack by his side.
AS he was engaged in loosening the
straps, preparatory to displaying his
print cards, dress goods and cotton
goods, the buyer of the establishment
came forward and said somewhat
sharply: Don't open that case here
I don't want to see your samples.
won't buy case of goods. 1t won't
do you any good to show them"
"Well, who asked you to look at
them. or buy anything?" replied the
drummer. "Not l." AS he said this
he opened his case
Then why do you open that case?"
Just because I'm interested in
these samples haven't seen them
myself for ten days, and I want to
find out II they're all right"
His detection struck the buyer as so
amusing that he rclented, examined
the samples and finally made a fair
sized purchase

JUDGE LONGS PENSION.
A Statement is Issued From the PEN
sion once Regarding Hts Suspen-

A Statement is Issued From the PEN
sion once Regarding Hts Suspen-
sion.
WASHINGTON, July 24.-The following
additional statement has been issued from
the pension Office with reference to the SUE
pension of Judge Longs pension: "a
further examination of the papers In the
case of Judge Dean Long, who on Msy 6,
1889, had his pension rerated and $50
month granted from June z, 1873, and s72
a month from July z, 1878, does not i'm
prove matters for the judge. The eIami-
nation shows that the case was taken with
out legal application or declaration of any
kind on May 6. 1889, that it was examined
on May 8, 1889, reviewed on May 8, 1889,
medical action taken on May 6, 1889, and
certificate issued on May 6. 1889.
In other words, it was railroaded through
between two suns, and something like &c.,
900 paid to the Judge in the back pension.
OnJune 80, 1888, In compliance with 9 letter
written by the judge to Commissioner Tan
ner, dated June 10, 1889, the case was fur
Their re- rated at the rate of $25 per month
from June "a, 1862, to June 6, 1885, and
$Si per month from June 4, 1862, to June
4, 1888. This second re-rating gave the
Judge total of about 81 900. 1t is further
remembered by several pension Office en-
ployes that the judge was here himself
when the pension bureau took Its first re-
markable action, and together with Major
| Wright of the pension bureau seemed to be
| looking carefully after his interests. The
papers also show that despite the fact that
the Office medical board which examined
Judge Long on March 81, 1884, only found
him entitled to $50 per month, which de-
| feated any right of his to an increase, for
he was then In receipt of $50 per month
pension, In August, 1884, his pension wa'
arbitrarily increased by Commissioner bud
ley to $50 per month.
| t1t should be stated, however, In justic'
to Mr.. Tanner that before he granted Judg'
Long his first re- rating he obtained from
the chief of the law division, Mr.. Bailey,
legal opinion prepared by Captain Igor
which sought to justify the contemplated
re-rating BY the commissioner. 1t is need
less to say this opinion does not properl.

MORE BANKS SUSPEND.

The Creditors and Deposftors of

CoNNERsvILLE, Ind July 24.-The Cit
liens bank, owned by ex United States
Treasurer Huston, failed to open Its doors
this morning, owing to financial stringen-

sit is my misfortune. None of the de-
positors or creditors will lose cent. Ny
personal property will more than cover all
liabilities, to say nothing about the real
estate. 1t will not affect any of the indus
tries In which am interested in the least.
The real cause of the suspension is the ru-
mors that have been spread abroad that
was interested in foreign speculations and
had lost heavily. There Is nothing in the
story, but 1t had the effect TO scare quite a
number of my depositors, which left mein
a crippled condition. The bank is my own
individual property, and every dollar that
l am worth will stand good for my liabili-
ties. No one will lose anything All that
I ask is little time and everything will be
adjusted satisfactorily. 1 have been build
ing up business for twenty years here
and always took pride in my honesty. Now
have the opportunity to show the people
that am honest. 1 want no one to lose
anything, not even those who have been
instrumental in bringing my misfortune

AN INsULTER,S DESERTS.

A Stcnographer's Employer Inficts
Probably Fatal Injuries Upon Her
Traducer.
BosToN, July 24.-John O. Marsh, of tine
real estate firm Of Worcester & Marsh, hay
ing an Office in the Equitable building, is
under arrest tonight upon the charge of
assault with intent to kill upon John L.
Randall, stock broker, having an Office at
302 Washington street.
The assault was the result Of an insult
said to have been offered by Randall to
Miss Julia Jordan. a stenographer en-
ployed in Marsh's Office, but who had for
merly been employed by Randall. She re-
ported the fact to Mr.. Marsh, who at once
proceeded to Rsndslls Office, and after a
few words struck the latter blow in the
face with such force as to cause fracture
of the base of the skull. Marsh then went
to the police station and informed the Off
csr in charge that he had assaulted Randall
and was willing to be locked up at any time
1t suited the officer.
Randall was taken to the city hospital,
where 1t was found that his injuries were
very dangerous and that he would probably
die. Thereupon Marsh was taken into
custody and will be held to await the result
of Rsrdall's injuries. Marsh is about forty
years old while his victim is ffty-eight.
The latter is married and lives in Ar
Hngton.
