 off Rt the IO;5O Train.
 The two wedding parties were treated to a storm of rice at the 10:50 train at the Naugatuck depot to-day. which was kept up for about five minutes and during this time it seemed as though a barrel of grain was pitched into the train and throuwn Tn all directions on the platform Friends of both parties seemed to have an inexhausti- hle supply of the ammunition and the fusi- Jade was kept up until the train pulled out of the depot and as the train started rice was showered against the plate glass from an army of girls. one of which step ped onto the platform of the car and .howered an apron full over one of the brides bonnets The other was struck in the back with big two pound bag full of rice and when the couples got out of the way they must have been in pretty mess. But the assaulting party did not seem to care about this and when the battle was over all set up a cheer of exultation and started for home apparently much the bet. ter for the fun. If there is anything that is calculated to make the train hands and depot employees swear it is the practice of scattering rice over bridal tourists.

Eighty Million Dollars Stolen,


The court estimate of the Gould es-
tate at sSO,934,5 SO.79 is as interesting
as it is important in the affairs CT a
country in which every man is sup
posed to earn all he gets.
When a man owns a dollar he gives
a dollars worth or skill or genius in
exchange for it.
. Unless he steals it or defrauds the
world Of it, he gives back for every
dollar he takes at least a dollars
worth.
No one can deny that this is the law
Of prosperity. No one can reasonably
assert that this immense accumulation
conforms to it.
The estate was accumulated by the
very simple system of printing figures
and dollar marks on pieces of cheap
paper, and then by corrupt control Of
the law-making power Of the people
forcing the workers Of the country to
surrender enough of their earnings to
give value to the paper.
That is financiering. It differs from
stealing because thieves are punished,
while the heirs Of financiers dine with
the Prince Of Wales.-New York

BANKERS CONSPIRACY
MAY FIND THIRTEEN AN UN-
LUCKY NUMBER.
Mr.. j. W. shuokers Exposes the Secrets
OF the National Bank Conspiracy to
Produce n Panlc-Glyes the Names,
Dates and Places.

Washington, Jan. 5.-Spscial-Mr. J.
W. Shuckers, who was private secre-
tary for Salmon P. Chase during all the
war period, has created quite a sensa-
ton in Washington 1y making public
the secrets Of the national bank con-
spiracy to produce panic and secure
the repeal Of the Sherman act. He
goes into the minutiae of the whole af-
fair and gives the names, dates and
places.
An attempt was made at the last
session Of the ed congress TO pass a
refunding bond bill, and Willard ard
Don Dickinson were sent to Washing
ton to push the matter. Sherman in
toduced such a bill but the effort
failed. 1t was then resolved, says Mr..
Shuckers, to force the passage Of the
bill by wrecking the fortunes Of tens
OF thousands Of business men and
throwing 100000 of men, women and
young people out Of work, with all the
sorrows and disaster which that i'm
piled.
He claims that the conspiracy was
composed of only thirteen men: Gro
yer Cleveland, John G. Carlisle, Assist
ant Treasurer Jordan, Chas. ]. Canada
and nine national bank presidents, viz:
Henry w. Cannon, Chase National
Bank; Edward H. Perkins, Importers
and Traders National; Geo. S. Coe,
American Exchange National; James
7. Woodward, Hanover National; Bray
ton Ives, Western National; W. W.
Sherman, National Bank Of Commerce;
George c. Williams, Chemical Nation
al, and Frederick Tappen, Gallatin Ma
tional.
There were nine different conference
es held before the final details were
arranged, and Mr.. Shuckers gives the
dates, places and names Of parties in
attendance. The most important Of
these was the meeting held at the pri-
vate residence Of the president Of the
Chemical bank, at which all Of the
above named were present except
Cleveland, and Carlisle was his direct
representative. This meeting was belt
April q, 1898.
At this meeting it was resolved t
bring on crash by universal refusa
to renew loans. The bankers left thC
Williams residence, rushed TO the tele
graph offices and wired orders t
every part of the United States to stoI
loans, and then the crash came. With
in twelve days after this meeting
banks and business houses in ever!
| part Of the United States were failing
Nothing for years has made a pro
founder sensation than these revela
tons Of Mr.. Shuckers. They bear tn
impress of truth.
