New York, June 2S.-The death of A.
Patck. at the Presbyterian hospital,
On February IS last, developed a state
of affairs which affects 100 Kansas City
property claims involving $750,00G. The
facts were not known until a sister OF
the dead man and his former Kansas
City business partner met over his
bier.
From the information exchanged ii
trapspired that the deceased has left
two wives and had i'm life borne two
names. The sister declared that dhe
dead man was Captain Thomas Ballan-
tyne of Londonderry, Ireland, husband
of her cd schoolmate Miss Martha Nc
Crca. of Lisdiven, in the north Of Ire
land. The partner. on the other hand,
said he was T. H. Harris, a land spec
ulator with him during the Kansas
City boom of 1888, and husband of
Mrs Lizzie c. Harris, nee Corliss, OF
Detroit who now lives at BenhaGn,
Ont. Under these extraordinary cir
cumstances 1t was determined to keep
the body unburied for ten days and tc
cable for Mrs. Captain Ballantyne, in
Ireland, and Mrs. Captain Harris. VINO
was then on a visit to some friends in
England. Mrs. Harris returned by the
Agxt steamer, claimed the body and
had it inferred in Detroit. For some
strange reason BaEantyne was buried
under his alias of Harris and Harris
was accordingly inscribed ON the cof-
fin plaIe.
Mrs. Ballantyne, his first wife, has
been informed by w. S. Wilson, the for
n.er partner, who is now president OF
the Kentucky Specially company OF
this city. She thereupon, through her
London solicitor, instructed the law
firm of J. H. Hubball & Co, of the MI
tual Reserve Building company, to
look up her interest in the estate The
real widow claimed her dover rights
in the transactions which amounted to
over. $3.50 600

he becomes greatly excited and barks

thought the best field in which to re-
trench was in purchasing supplies. If
some arrangement to club together and
buy by the wholesale was made, a saw
ing could be effected which would
amount to something. The lighting
was a fine field to exercise the, science
of retrenchment in. There were sup
posed to be 27S street lights, but nobody
knew whether half of them were kept
burning or not. The price paid for
electric light was high, a saving Of

in attendance and gave accounts of

voice they stated there was no room
whatever for cutting down and at the
same time keeping up the efficiency of
the departments. So far as the in
vestigation went it showed that strict
economy was being practiced in every
department and that the heads of each
were thoroughly interested in their
work and were really doing the best
they could with the limited means al
lowed them by the measures of econo-

said the committee on lighting was pre-
pairing a, report and hoped to submit it
to the council very soon. It was a
subject which required a good deal of
investigating.
O'Meara thought the present system
of lighting was rotten" 1t appeared
as if Salt Lake people had to be robbed
in order that the London stockholders
of the electric light company might get
a dividend. The stock of the
company was watered eight or ten
deep and some system by which light
could be got at a fair price should be
devised

COUNCILMAN YOUNG

said he was glad to have heard from
the heads of 80 many departments and
to see that they all were trying to
make their departments as efficient as
possible. The fact still remained that
retrenchment had to be done or else
the city would be bankrupt by next
January. 1t had been suggested that
each department be allowed a certain
sum per month and they must be re-
quired to keep their expenses within
that sum. The exact sum which the
city would have for maintenance must
be ascertained and that divided up
among the departments, and they
must get on with it as best they could.
There was no other way out of it. 1t
was a disagreeable thing to do, but it
had to be done.

Mr. Young explained that the object
of the meeting was to devise means by
which the expenditures of the city
could be curtailed IT was absolutely
essential that retrenchments be made,

bankruptcy and that at no very dis
tant date

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING.
MIR. TiIden,s Prophecy.
New York Sun.

In conversation held some time after the
civil war between Mr.. Tilden and gentleman
who had been a conspicuous citizen of "A seced-
ing State, the Southern gentleman said that the
Democratic party appeared to be permanently
disabled and broken down. Mr.. Tilden's re
ply was characteristic and most interesting.
1T seems TO be broken down at present" he
said, ''and it is broken down. Yet il will come
up again and il will once more gain control
of the Government. But this situation
will not be permanent In order TO
come into power the Democracy must have
the support and assistance ofthe Southern
states; and that support and assistance may
very soon prove 90 be its ruin. The Southern
states will insist upon ruling the Democracy
utterly. and being poor, they viii try To foist
into the Democratic program ideas and
measures contrary TO all Democratic principle.
Against this the whole country will protest
The United States will never consent TO be
governed by the south or by such Southern
ideas The Democracy win be voted down !;
and then its last situation will be worse than
the first"
When Mr.. Tilden delivered this memorable
prophecy. he had no idea that such man as
Grover Cleveland could be raised to the head
OF the Democracy through anySwild delusion
of popular sentiment; and thus the calamity
which he foretold, has come upon the country
much soone than he could have believed ii
TO be possible.
Is IL TO be lasting, or will the combined in
cubus OF Clevelandism and Populism be
lifted from the shoulders of the Democracy
before It's life is extinguished 2
