ATemh.t.ne Duke PcnniIr..

CHICAGO, Jan IA local paper says that Edwin Fields, who at one time owned a large part of the city of Tombstone, AriZ, and a mine worth more than SjOOOOO was last night taken 10 the county hospital in the police ambulance. From the hospital he was taken to the poor house al Cunning to spend his few remaining years. Dr. Joseph Greer of this city knew Fields in Arizona. "I went to Tombstone in 1872" said Dr. Greer, and MT. Fields was there before me. He was squatting on some mining property, which was not supposed to be of much value. But the town grew to b. 0OO and he owned two thirds of the town site. His rents increased un- til they gave him an income of over SIOOO month. The mine which he owned he sold in lSS2 for $500 OO0 in cash. He was known every iwhere as the Duke of Tombstone,' ,' on account of the geOrgeouS man her iu which he carried on his es- tablshment. l left Tombstone and settled in Chicago. One day a seedy individual dropped into my office and I recognized Edwin Fields. l asked him what he was doing, and he told me that he had lost most of his property in speculation on the board of trade. He lost the most of his money in St. Louis. but carried ou his speculations both in that city and Chicago. l do not know his birth place, but he was an eastern man and wa we'll connected. He has a brother at Farleys, \, NJ. who owns big sheep ranch, and another brother who owns an Im- mense cocoanut plantation in the Samoan Islands

Of the Sound Money Democratic club
at it's meeting tonight. The orsaniza-
ton has over $50 members. In his
speech of acceptance Governor Flower

deiiverance which has not been touched
upon by others. He said: II want to
call your attention to q part of MIR.
Bryan's recent speech in New York. in
which he unconsciouSly disclosed his
character. To allay the apprehensions
of the debtor. that free silver legisla
ton might not be enacted before the
creditor could call in his loans or fore
close the mortgage. MIR. Bryan said:
If in November the people declare
themselves in favor of the immediate
restoration Of bimetallism. the system
can be inaugurated within few
months This. he says, can he done by
the virtue Of the presidents power to
convene congress in extraordinary ses-
sion. The debtor has said: How shall
be able to pay my debts at the rate of
SO cents on the dollar since it will take
three months at least to enact the
necessary legislation and i'm that time
my creditor will have been able to call
in my loan or foreclose his mortgage?'
Mr.. Bryan reassures him and appeals
to his dishonesty by saying: Just as
soon as I am president 1 shall rush the
system through before the creditor has
a chance to call in his loan or fore
close his mortgage" Why this hurry?

STEEL RAILS FOR JAPAN.
A Large Sale Made This Week--.Demand
for Cotton GOOds...The State of
Trade in Other Lines.

New York, Aug. FIR. G. Dun &
Co. will say tomorrow in their weekly
review of trade:
Failures FOR the week have been $50
in the United States against 222 last
year ana y in Canada against 43 last
year.
Political events of the week had no
definite influence upon business pros
poets, for the phenomenal variations in
Sterling exchange and the beginning of
imports of gold. although following the
great meeting in Madison Square Gar
den on Tuesday, may be fairly attribut-
ed to the accommodating excess of mer-
chandise exports over imports, to which
attention has been repeatedly called ex-
ports from New York for the past two
weeks having been 20 per cent larger.
and imports here q per cent. smaller
than last year. The rapid movement
of grain, and the unusually early mar
keting of cotton. tend strongly to aid
the banking syndicate which has un-
dertaken to regulate foreign exchanges.
Withdrawals of money to the interior
are rather large, and commercial loans
are hard to place, and this difficulty
checks many new enterprises and busi-
ness in many departments. Bank clear
ings are small. for the week, IL per cent.
less than last year. Railroad earnings
are not as good as might be expected
for the first half of August. exceeding
those of last year by only 3.4 per cent.
Specula tion has advanced wheat over
per cent. during the week, corn a
small fraction, and cotton tve-eghts,
the principal motive power being re-
ports of injury to growing crops.
The iron and steel market has only
continued depression to report There
in spite of this the supply of finished
products appears to greatly exceed the
demand for them. The one bright spot
is a sale of 5000 tons steel rails to Japan,
for repairing railways in that country,
which makes an aggregate of $4,000 tons
exported during the year. Nothing en-
cOuraging can yet be said regarding the
wooden manufacture. and the demand
for goods, even at recent reduction in
prices is still disappointingly small. a
heavy auction sale of cotton goods
brought prices, which We're considered
quite encouraging, and the current de-
mand is fairly maintained, although the
mills are not inclined to make large
contracts for the future i'm view of the
rise in the raw material. In general the
working force in the textile branches
does not appear to have increased.
