Brown Didn,t Come.

No ono will now take any stock In
Browne coming TO Carton until he
actually arrives. The statement that
he was to drop in on Carson last
Wednesday and other times, comes
from Charley Jones, the attorney.
Jones is in correspondence with him,
it Ii said almost daily, but declines to
say where he is. The community is
considerably puzzled in various de-
grees over the matter and say that a
big bluff game is being worked, some
think by the bank people and some
think by Brown.
1t is held that II the bank people
really wanted him they would offer a
reward, which up to date has not been
done. II he is innocent az his friends
say, and other people have taken the
$4,000, it would seem about time that
he came back and showed the world
the facts. If other men are being
unjustl! accused. these men should
see that Brown is brought back and
their own names cleared.
That $4,000 should have been TAX
en- at various times, out Of the bank
by a clerk, and the several experience
ed bankers who were about him did
not know what was going on, seems
Incredible to most people, but yet
stranger things have happened. It is a
well known fact, however, that under
the old regime some men with good
realty security could not get accom-
modations, while others drew thous-
ands ON their personal notes. Most
of these accounts, however, have been
secured since the change Carson

UneasIne,s I'm Wall Street.

New YORK, August 2l.--Consider-
able uneasiness prevailed in Wall
street to-day ON account of the report
of distress among merchants and the
urgent need of financial relief. Esti-
mates of a reduction of $3,000,000 to
100000 in to .morrow's reserve in
the bank statements and correspond
ing heavy shrinkages Of deposits en-
couraged the expectation of the
issue of clearing house certificates
by the banks. 1t is reported meeting
of the clearing house has been called
to take action. .
A careful canvass of leading bank
officials elected the unanimous ex-
preston Of opinion there was no need
for the issue of certificates at present
and such issue would only be made
in case Of extreme necessity. A meet
ing has not been called to consider
the issue of certificates.
A banker says undoubtedly some
merchants need money, but most Of
the large maturities passed off all
right the first Of the month, and most
OF the weaker cancerns have already
been weeded out.
A limited market is reported to-day
for choice grades Of mercantile paper
at per cent. Time money is an un
known quantity at six per cent and
commissions. '..

A Gall For Funds,

The fight is on and money is needed
by the national com mittee of the Sill
yer party to pay the expenses of cam
paign speakers and to send out silver
literature. The Silver party has no
Mark Hanna to raise millions from
the plutocrats of the country by a
simple wave of the hand. The money
to carry Oh our fight must come from
the plain people of the country. 1t
Is not wanted for corruption purposes
or for the purpose Of hiring speakers,
as all who ask for anything more than
expenses are referred to Mr.. Hanna,
as he Is known to be bidding high for
compensated talent. Every voter in
Nevada should be willing to contrib
ute dollar at least to the cause, and
many should donate more.
The editor of the Silver State, as a
member of the executive committee
of the National Silver party, has
been asked to lay this matter before
the good people of Nevada and ask
them to contribute as literally as
their means will warrant. Every
dollar 30 contributed will be sent to
National Treasurer w. P. st. John
and be handled by the national COM
mittee for the purpose above men
toned. The other side will have a
fund of many millions at their dis
posal; but if every silver man in the
United States will do his duty at this
time we will have sufficient funds to
do the necessary work Of education.
The Silver State will also publish
from day to day the name Of each
contributor and the amount 80 con
tributed.
1 will also ask the Silver or Demo-
cratic committee in each county in
the state to take this matter I'D and
place it properly before their people.
l would also ask each Silver or Dem
ocratic paper in the State to publish
this notice, 30 that every person will
be given chance to give their mite
to the cause Of Nevada and humanity.
II so desired remittances can be made
to me or direct to VIM. P. st. John,
national treasurer, Hotel Bartholdi,
New York city. We have gallant
leader, our cause is just, the issue ia
made; victory or defeat will soon be
upon us, and every friend should do
his duty by giving all the assistance
he can afford.

WHO IS THIS 3. E. PlUMMER?
He Makes Friends at Bangor and Settles With
Worthless Check.

A few weeks ago, a young man giving
the name Of b. + Plummer came to this
city and at once began TO make friends
amongst the men about towr. He stated
that he was formerly proprietor of the
Johnson house in Gardiner, but that he
had been obliged to leave that city sud
denly and without funds, on account of
some trouble over liquor selling on his
premises
After being here about two weeks, dur
ing which time he boarded at a we'll kept
restaurant Of the city, he left, paying his
board bill with a check for it's full
amount.
The proprietor of the restaurant, few
days later, paid his water rates for the
year with the check, which thus got to a
bank and was there protested.

vas given the case, and he is said to have
discovered that Plummer has been work

SUNK BY TREACHERY
A Cuban Thus Gives Cause
of the Hawkins Disaster.
Il the Vessel Had Been Leaking Il
Would Have Been Discovered.
The Exceedingly Fine Life Boats Point 10
Traitors on Board Ship,

New York. Jan. 29.-The uimt..t CO.
crcsy is maintained, today, by Cnbans in
this city regarding the movements Of the
fllibusters on board of the fishing steamer
j. W. Hawkins, which foundered. Mon.
day. 1t is known that Jose Bepeche. Al.
bert Geleate. Capt. Gastan and Victor
Gomez We're among the unfortunates who
lost their lives.
At the office of the Cuban Junta, today,
one OF the leaders, W no refused to allow
his Dame TO be used. said there were grave
suspicious that the ship was sunk BY
treachery.
lone thing said he, that makes II
look very suspicious is that the ship had
been leaking for hours before it was
known to Gen. Garcia The engineer or
fireman should have discovered it at once
and reported it to the captain, but did
not The situation is just this: Either
the ship was bad and We were terribly de-
frauded in its purchase, or it was good
and there was bad faith among those On
board
One of the facts which points toward
the traitors aboard the boat is the exceed
ingly fine lifeboats which the Hawkins
carried. lt was not expected by whoever
gave the vessel its mortal injury that
every avenue of escape would thereby be
cut off. If this be correct, the supposition
OF the result bears out the idea of traitors.
Moreover, after the examination Of the
Hawkins in Baltimore, where she was de-
claTe1 IN good condition, she was re-ex-
amined 10 New York. What was found
true at the first examination was substan-
tiated at the second when the Cubans
themselves looked the vessel over.
1t was not till Monday night that sus-
picion of anything wrong aboard the craft
arose. Neither the captain nor the en-
glneer made the discovery that there was
water in the engine room. One uf the
volunteers found it out. The men were
hustled out of their hunks with hardly
chance to put on their clothes Pumps
that were shortly before known tu be in
good working order, refused to answer the
purpose. They were clogged. A resort to
buckets was all that was left to the pa.
triots.
Information has been received that the
j. W. Hawkins put out from Baltimore
before heading for New York, without OBJ
taining the necessary clearance popers.
1t is said that Captain Woodrow, who Was
in command, had been summoned before
the collector Of the port at that city to an
swer to the charges for evasion Of the law
The only statement that Capt Woodrow
wonld make was that he had gone aboard
the Hawkins as a pilot and that the ship
was in command of n man named TIN
sley, who left this city for Baltimore as
soon as he landed her here
