PAYMENT OF CLAIMS.
Bunn's Report as to French Spoliation and
Loyal Southerncrs' Allowance.

Bunn's Report as to French Spoliation and
Loyal Southerncrs' Allowance.
Considerable information regarding the
French spoliation claims and those for stores
and supplies furnished the Union forces by
Southern men who were loyal to the Union
during the war, is contained in an elaborate
report recently submitted to the House by
Representative Bum, of North Carolina, from
the Committee on Claims.
Some time ago there was referred to the
committee bill to provide a mode for the
payment of these claims and the report made
advances many reasons why it should be
enacted into law.
In brief. the bill provides that the claims
for store and supplies" and for French
spoliations" shall be annually estimated for
upon lists furnished by the Court of Claims
and placed upon the sundry civil appropria-
tion bill; tnat for the first year the appro-
priaticn shall not exceed $500 .000-i. e.
S500.000 on the first named class and
$4,000, 900 on the second class. SO as to pay off
those which have accumulated in consequence
of no appropriation having been made by the
priation shall not exceed $500 900 to each.
The sums appropriated are provided to be
paid on the claims in the order in which the
same are allowed by the court
As to the amount involved. a letter is pre-
serted from the court Of claims. which shows
that claims for S23. 992 $50 (which is more
than half of the highest estimate placed by
any one on the amount claimed) have been
finally disposed of. and awards made thereon
for SO. .3S2. 29l, whereof the sum of 3, ,304 ,O95
has been paid leaving a balance OF -, ,07S, 1876.

RECEIVER FOR CANDIES.
Judge Cole Takes the Affairs Of Gill & So
Out of Their Hands.

Out of Their Hands.
Justice Cole. sitting in the equity part Of
the supreme court, yesterday heard argu-
ments on motion for the appointment of a
receiver for the business OF Gill & Son, candy
manufacturers, and appointed Edwin H.
Thomas to act in that capacity if he found
the services OF receiver to be necessary.
1t was argued by Lawyer E. B. Hay on the
part of the defendants that there was moth
ing to receive; that the firm is in possession
OF no assets whatever. and that the appoint
ment Of a receiver would be only needless
expense added to an already bankrupt con-
cern. The suit is brought by William S. Gill
against Alexander J. Gill and Theresa NJ.
Gill, who are his father and mother, who say
that he induced them to give up comfort
able home and good position In Baltimore,
Nd, to come on here and go In business
with him. They claim that they put
all their savings into the business,
and that they have been practically
ruined by their sons mismanagement
and misrepresentation. Lawyer r. Ross
Perry argued for the plaintiff that there were
due the firm debts to collect and creditors to
pay as far as possible from the proceeds of
the sale of the firms assets. Judge Cole
thought that a receiver should be appointed
to ascertain the true status Of the firms af-
fairs,

STRIKE INVESTIGATION.

Commissioner Wright Leaves for Chicago
-Debs to Be Summoned.
Col. Carroll D. Wright. the Commissioner
of Labor and Superintendent Of the Census,
left for Chicago yesterday to commence mis-
duties as chairman of the strike investigating
commission, which begins its labors to-mor-
row.
Col. Wright believes tnat the work of taking
evidence will require not more than two or
three weeks. "When the commission will
submit its report" he said, II cannot say,
though it will doubtless be in about five or six
weeks. l cannot say whether Mr.. Debs will
or will not appear. but he has probably al
ready been summoned by Judge Worthington,
who has attended to the preliminary matters.
II not, the summons will be issued at once"

BALTIMORE, Aug. 1S.-The superb pitching
of Meekin won the game for the New York
team to-day. The Baltimores could not
bunch their hits. and only by bringing in a
fourth pitcher to bat in the ninth inning did
they prevent shut out. Hawke was inef-
fective and gave way to Esper, who was
winged by a line drive from Farrell's bat.

RACED OYER A SLOW TRACK
Fast Time Mas Out Of the Question
at Alexander Island.
WE'RE FOUR RAFTING FINISHES
Monte Garlic the Only Winner Not Pressed at
the End, While Julia L., McKeever, Elm
stone, and Senator Had to Work Hard to
Get the Decision-Ths Details.

In spite Of all the rain In the forenoon the
track at Alexander Island was not partiou-
larly heavy and was thoroughly safe. The
attendance, while not as large as usual, was
composed almost entirely Of bettors and the
speculation was lively. The exceedingly
good price Of Ito was laid at one time
against Monte Carlo in tho first race but,
after Somage and Della NJ. had run away
three furlongs, to 10 was the best at the
close. Nelson, who rode Somage, could have
saved his mount had he been awake, as he
never looked at the advance flag. Monte
Carlo won handily from Suspense gelding.
Malvins z. shut up In the stretch like jack
knife.
In the second race Cheddar and Tioga found
the most support, closing at 2 to l each.
Quartermaster got away in front but was un-
able to keep up with the procession, Julia L..
Tioga, and Cheddar making the running, they
finishing as named, all well together, with
Devisee fourth four lengths back.
Some More, McKeever, and Emily W. were
all at the same odds for the third, 2 to being
the quotation against each. Tnmult was the
only other starter. and IL to could be had
against his chances. As far as the latter was
concerned, he might have staid in the stable.

stretch, when Emily ". had enough, and the
rest OF the distance furnished a duel between
McKeever and Some More, the former win
ming by head. Murphy rode a weak finish
on Some More.
Backers OF Kenyon should have cashed
their tickets after the fourth but Jockey
Castles had an idea he could ride a finish and
made a woeful failure. Elmstone was the
favorite and won. but only by nose. Hogan
having sense enough to sit still while Castles,
after getting to the front in the stretch,
stopped riding and was deservedly beaten
out. 1t was a case when the boy should
have been set down for poor riding.
Pottowattomie was played to win the last,
II the race was run, and to was the best
obtainable at the close. Refine dor and Sen
ator were fancied by those not In on the
know and the bettors on Senator got all the
money, as he won by a head In sharp drive
from Pottowattomie. The latter lost consid-
cradle ground at the first turn through hav-
ing to 30 around his field. Summaries:
