funeral of the late George ]. Marsh, treas
urer of the Cape Ann Savings bank who
committed suicide by shooting. Thursday,
was held today. 1t was attended by a large
number of business men and citizens. In
terest in the affairs of the estates and the
trusts in Marsh's keeping is as great as
BILE to tho benefciaries of these estates. One
OF the Cape Ann bank officials today admit
ted that there was a strong possibility Of
the hypothecations amounting to $3.50, 900.
The work of strengthening out matters per-
tanning to these estates Is progressing very
slowly and IL will be some time before a
statement can be given out II is believed
that everything in Marsh's keeping has been
disposed OF. real estate being about all that
remains. The DR.. Hildreth estate. between
$4,000 and $50 O0O Is practically wiped out.
The George II. Rogers estate was valued at
500 900 and the loss there cannot be Csti-
mated. There are in local banks notes uf
Marshs probably amounting I'm all from
SIS. 900 to $40. 600. Practically all this paper
was endorsed by Mrs Rogers. In addition
to this. II Is thought that considerable paper
Is held in Boston. Marsh left note in Mrs.
Rogers bankbox. but she refuses to make
public its contents.
1t was learned today that an estate in the
vicinity OF Wonham valued at 10000, was
in Marshs charge. 1t is feared II is seri-
ously involved. II is stated that in the
month of August of this year Marsh lost
about 900 through speculation.

remains in the possession of the receivers
many thousand acres OF valuable land, unen-
numbered by direct mortgages and which
VIII have to be sold.
These lands lie directly east OF the Mis-
sisippi river and have been claimed generally
by the creditors and stand as the only avail
able assets OF value to the general creditors.
The receivers have not yet applied to the
court for direction as to the disposal OF this
property, but 1t is expected that the mo-
ment they do IL will bring forth a lengthy

After the contention of the stockholders

at the tabernacle tonight and until noon to-
morrow. One OF the most earnest addresses
Major Mckinley has delivered was in re-
Spouse to General Theodore f. Lang, who
spoke for the Maryland visitors
In this address Major Mckinley recalled
the indictment framed by the old leaders
e. the democratic party against their old
party associates, an Indictment which, in
severity, has been unequaled.' He said .
They speak the voice Of patriotism. They
repudiate their own party convention and
characterize its resolutions as unsound, in.
judiciOus. unpatriotic and revolutionary.
They are to be commended by every lover of
his country everywhere for their courageous
stand and for their bold denunciation Of doc
trines which. although adopted by n ccnven-
tion representing a large body OF democrats,
are a menace to the peace and tranquility,
the credit and the currency of the nation.
II falls to the republican party this year as
in many other years of the past, to carry
| the standard OF national honor and It shall
never be lowered in their hands They meet
! the crisis with their old time courage, ana
il given power, the whole world will know
| that they never permit the currency of the
country to be debased or its financial honor
stained"
Major Mckinley concluded his address to
the Maryland club to another side of the
| little reviewing stand, which had been
brought into requisition when the crowd be-
| came so dense that the porch could no
! longer be used, when he faced another large
| crowd OF sc'ne 800 miners from the Wyoming
and Lackawanna counties, the anthracite dis
| trict of Pennsylvania. who were introduced
| by w. p. Gregory.
Concluding his address to the miners,
| Major Mckinley had to face about to find,
| patiently awaiting an audience, some 300
| whitecapped steel workers, employed by the
| Otis Steel company Of Cleveland, o. This
party was introduced by the Otis company
| stockkeeper. Otto Graben, and Major Nc

An excited crowd had gathered around the

there were cries of Lynch him. String

The tenderfuot stood on tiptoe and his eyes
seemed to stick out even with the tip of his
nose, but he could see nothing but deter
mined looking youth standing against a tree
with his arms tied behind him and his feet
tied together.
HAS he killed someone?' asked the ten
dCrfoOt at last.

Not on your bowie! We don't hang men

Then what has this fellow done?" asked
the tenderfOot
"He stole a bicycle" replied the Old man
slowly and impressiyely.
Just then there was a movement near the
center of the crowd, and the next minute
the man had been released and some one in
the crowd was calling three cheers for
Prairie Pete.
The tenderfoot looked at the old man in
