The Mayor reported that the Electric Light
people, through Councilman Smith, had sig
nitied its intention to furnish public lighting
during 1895 at the same rate of 1884,
The Turner matter, mentioned in another
column, was not discussed, but the Mayor
SAID he had written that Company that the
village should insist on substantial COM
pllance with the terms of the original con-
tract, i. e., the Turner's must repay the S25,-
600 loan, which falls due next Winter. He
thought, however, that the town might ac-
commodate the Company with an extension
of time.
Some days ago gentleman named Lorer,
OF Cleveland came to Ravenna, having heard
that the Globe Carbon Company were about
to cease operations permanently. In con-
versation with the Mayor, he said he repre-
Sented Company composed of seven men,
bers, incorporated for the manufacture of
carbons, with an authorized capital of $780,
OOO, 900 of which is already subscribed
and paid in; 5000 stock will be offered TO
employees. He came here, he said, with a
view of purchasing the Globe plant, but on
making inquiries of that Company, found it
had no intention of going out of business,
but on the contrary, were making repairs
ana changes, preparat~ry to doing larger
business than ever. He wanted to know if
the town could or would offer any bonus,
but was told that probably no further induce
ments could be offered than ground for a
site. "Well, !" said he, "we have about made
up our minds to locate in Ravenna, in any
event. We can purchase land and erect a
plant here for less than what the land alone
would cost in Cleveland
He has already been looking at the Crown
Flint building, but thinks the place to locate
is Immediately south of the sad iron works.
He has also been looking up the piece of

All of which the Council were made ac-
quainted with by his Honor.
Whereupon the meeting adjourned until
the next regular session, when the new Coun-
Gil will be organized and the committees ap-
pointed for the ensuing year.
We wish to say, in conclusion, that the
Council did right to reject the proposition of
the Dye Company.

The Forest Fires.

Seattle, August 17.-The past two
days the forest fires which were burn
ing to the south have increased, and
the line of blazing woods has extended,
until now it seems to include the whole
of Western Washington. For the
most part the fires are confined to brush
clearings and to grass, which, owing
to the continued dry weather, has be-
come as dry as tinder. Nevertheless,
several blazes of consequence are re-
ported. Near Shelton, where a train
on the Peninsular railway was wrecked
few days ago, owing to burning
bridge, fires are raging, and require
continual watching in order to keep
them out of the town. The railway
company is keeping close guard to save
the rest of its bridges and tracks.
Yesterday the barn of Sam Gustin,
at North Bend, was burned, together
with 100 tons of hay. Near Tolt,
the residence of w. c. Richardson was
burned. with all its contents. His
loss is 81 800, with insurance Of $500,
in the State Insurance Company, OF
Oregon. Communication with Tatoosh
island was established today for the
first time since August 10, fires along
the straits of Fuca and Bainbridge
island having broken down the line.

Fatal stabbing ARRAY on Puget
Sound Boat.
Seattle, August 17.-Charles Ling,
the Chinese cook ON board the steamer
Idaho, was stabbed and instantly
killed this morning by Joseph Carter,
deckhand, who Immediately gave
himself up. and had the captain put
back here and send him to Jail. Four
persons saw the killing, but refuse to
talk about it until the inquest, and
Carter's story is the only one obtain
able. He says the Chinaman abused
him because he complained that the
coffee at breakfast was watery, and
when he went into the kitchen to de-
mand that he take it back, Ling picked
up bread knife and made for him.
He vested the knife away, cutting his
hand in so doing, and then Ling raised
chair to brain him, but he received
the blow on his arm. He admits that
he then made rush at the Chinaman,
but only realized that he had stabbed
him when he saw the blood flowing
from the wound. The knife entered
the left side, cutting the kidney almost
in two, and almost came out through
the abdomen. The Chinaman was the
only one of the race in the service of
the Puget Sound & Alaska Steamship
Company.

San Francisco, August l8.-The
third trial of Mrs. Louisa Worthing-
ton, for the murder OF Harry Baddeley,
ended this morning, the jury return
ing verdict Of murder in the second
degree. In 1893 Mrs. Worthington
shot at Ferrin, her paramour. 1t was
said she had been urged to the murder
by her husband. Mrs. Worthington' S
defense was insanity. The first jury
returned verdict Of murder in the
second degree, with recommendation
Of mercy. The supreme court ordered
a new trial on the ground Of errors in
the charge to the jury, Judge Wallace
having sentenced the prisoner to TWEEN
ty-five years The present verdict is
without recommendation Of mercy.

The Santa Cruz Indians.

Merida, Yucatan, August There
is great enthusiasm over the intention
of President Diaz, as announced in the
City Of Mexico, to occupy Baclar with
a strong force of troops. The Santa
Cruz Indians are filled with dismay
because they now realize that their
depredations are to be severely punish
ed. Many of these Indians are fleeing
to Belize to accept British hospitality
among the people who for many years
have been,furnishing them arms and
ammunition.
1t is not believed that the leaders of
the Indians can bring over 800 into the
field against the Mexican troops. Ten
thousand Yucatans, now employed in
cutting dyewoods in Honduras, will re-
turn to take up farms at Baclar d.
rectly the troops succeed in dislodging
the hostile Indians now there.

NEWS OF THE TRUST.
Arrangements to Transfer the whisky
Combines Property.

Chicago, August 17.-The transfer
OF the seventeen distilleries and office
buildings in Peoria, purchased yester-
day by the reorganization committee,
to the American Spirits Manufacturing
Company, has been arranged for. The
papers are all drawn up, but before
formal title can be given it will be
necessary to obtain confirmation or.
der from the United States court. Re-
ceiver McNulta is required by the decree
OF sale to make report to the court Of
the proceedings, and confrmatory or
der will issue without doubt. There
will then have to be other confrmatory
orders from the federal courts at Gin
cinnati, indianapolis, Louisville and
st. Paul, in whose jurisdiction are To-
Gated some Of the distilleries sold yes
terday.
The confrmatory order here and those
in the. auxiliary proceedings in other
courts will not be made until the
judges return from their vacations.
Meanwhile the work Of arranging for
resumption Of active distillery business
on October will go forward, pending
the actual launching of the new COR
poration.
The American Spirits Manufacturing
Company is chartered Illinois corpor-
alton, with $4,000, 900 capital, and
its head Office will be in Chicago s.
NJ Rice, who succeeded to the presi-
dency of the old trust on Greenhut's s
deposition. has been named as presi-
dent of the new corporation, but the
names Of the new directors are with
held until the legal title to the prop.
erty is complete. 1t is expected that
the new company will gradually pur-
chase most Of the valuable plants still
remaining in Receiver McNulta' s
hands, but this is contingent to some
extent on the amount of the active bus
iness to be done in the fall.

TAYLOR THE DEFAuLTER.
South Dakota's ex-Treasurer Given the
Limit of the Law.


Pierre, S. d., August 16. The
courtroom was crowded today to hear
Judgment pronounced on w. w. Tay-
lor, defaulting ex-state treasurer.
When asked if he had anything to say
why sentence should not be pronounced
ON him, Taylor, in low voice, replied:
81 have not"
Judge GatfDey then reviewed the
case and the different statutes bearing
on the crime. He considered the much
discussed section 1866 void, and did
not believe two-year sentence was in
tended to cover such case as this. He
considered that Taylor's worst crime
was in attempting to force COM
promise after gathering together all
the state funds he could lay his hands
ON. A sentence of five years at hard
labor was then pronounced.
The attorneys of w. w. Taylor are
jubilant in the belief that their client
will not begin to serve out the FIVE
year sentence imposed on him by Judge
Gaffeny this morning. They will ap-
ply to the supreme court for a habeas
corpus ON the ground that two years is
the longest sentence permissible under
the statute invoked by the lower court.

Chicago, August 18.--It now ap.

tions. Richard Martin, owner Of the
packing. house, and who ships quanti-
ties OF the meat to Paris, Antwerp and

tomorrow NJ. Veilhomme, the French
consul; Charles Henrotin, the Belgian
consul, and r. Bopp, the vice-German
consul, accompanied by city meat in
spector and one or two policemen, will
call ON Mr.. Martin TO see ii he is ship
ping diseased horse meat to their re-
spectiye countries as has been reported.
They have no thought of attempting to
interfere with Martins business, but
only of warning the authorities abroad
against receiving it. Consul Veil
holmme said:
"This is subject in which my gov
erument feels deep interest. 1t will
be inconvenient for me to go 60 far as
to inspect Martins premises, but under
the circumstances shall surely do so.
! am surprised that there is no law in
this country by which TO take hold Of
him, but the least can do is to ascer-
tain the facts and put the authorities

SECOND DEPOSIT MADE
Syndicate Is Determined to
Protect the Reserve.
MORE LARGE WITHDRAWALS
Withdrawn for Export to Europe
by the Next Steamer.

Washington, August 16.-United
States Treasurer Morgan today received
a telegram from Assistant Treasurer
Jordan, at New York, stating the bond
syndicate had deposited 81 1858, 900 in
gold in exchange for legal tender.
Later in the day another telegram was
received stating that 81, 100000 in
gold had been withdrawn for export to
Europe. This leaves the gold reserve
at the close of business, $102, ,431 ,061.
This second deposit by the syndicate
confirms the officials in the belief that
it fully intends to see to it that the
$100, ,000,00 gold reserve is not in
vaded.
The official returns for August show
that the prospective fruit crop Of the
country, taken as a whole, is much
larger than for several years. The
report follows:
Apples-The crop met with no SER
ious obstacles to development during
July. The influences upon which the
proper maturity of the crop naturally
depends have been so favorable that
general increase in the index figures
have resulted. There are, however,
some very important states in which
the crop produced is less than half the
normal product. This is the case in
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Michigan and Wisconsin, the recent
percentages ranging from % in Michi-
gan to 40 in Vermont.
Peaches-The average condition of
peaches August l was 1913, against
92.3 in 1894. The prospective yield
has declined heavily in Delaware,
where about one-third the normal crop
is now indicated. New Jersey has also
suffered, the percentage falling IL
points and resting now at 81. Condi-
tions in Connecticut and Georgia were,
respectively. 80 and 104. Maryland
hopes for two-thirds crop. Virginia
something under that. A short crop
is indicated for Ohio and for Michi-
gan, about half the normal product.
On the Pacific coast conditions approx
mate the general average for the coun-
try. Much complaint of dropping and
rotting is made, the latter especially
in the South.

family. He expressed the belief and
hope that he will be released soon.
His health is little better than when
