Why He Collected Money Due the
Firm of Gilmore Il Duffy.

Attorney James H, Torrey yesterday
filed the answer of the defendant in
the equity case of A, F. Duffy against
A. G. Gilmore, which grows out of the
dissolution of the firm of Gilmore &
Duffy.
Mr.. Duffy's complaint was in sub
stance that Mr.. Gilmore was collect
ing the firms accounts and applying
them to his own uses, instead of to the
firm debts, as it was agreed he should,
Mr.. Gilmore answers by saying that he
is personally the firms largest creditor,
and that when he applies the collec-
tions to his own uses he is simply
paying off a part of the firms indebt-
edness.

BULLET-PROOF CLOTH.
Cassimir Zeglen's Invention Stands the

CHICAGO, July l2.-Five pistol shot

the man seriously injured, if not dead.
Instead of this he was smiling. The

His Public Career Begins,
Mr.. Harris entered public life as an

he lived, Weakloy and Obion, There
was an exceedingly narrow margin 1or
the Democrats over the Wings in the
district, and in the Democratic convcn-
tion for tho nomination Of a candidate
in 1S47 there was split in the claims
of two rival candidates. Every effort
failed to bring about reconciliation
and the leaders of the party, feeling
that the district was lost without strong
action, met in caucus and brought out
Mr.. Harris as the most available man to
settle upon. He was 6 young man ana
thoy knew that he could beat any Whig
in the district, and felt that since he
had never held office before each OF the
rival Democratic claimants would with
draw for him. But he refused to do so,
and the race was run with three Demo-
Gratis and one Whig in the field. Mr..
Harris won even against those odds, and
Immediately became a factor in the pol
itics OF his native State. In lS4S he was
named as the Democratic elector for the
Ninth district, and in the following
wear he was sent to the congress OF the
United States. When he died yester-
day he was tho senior member, dating
from his first position In congress- OF
both houses. He antedated Senators
Sherman and Morrill, by seven years.
although the former has recently quit
congress for the cabinet and antedateo
Hon. Galusha A. Grow, representative
in the lower house from Pennsylvania
by one year. Mr. Harris was returned
to the congress in 1851 and, although he
was not a candidate in 1858, the nomina-
ton was given him. He, however, de-
clined 1t and moved from Paris to Mem
phis. n,,x - 1890.
One of his most exciting political al
fairs was In the campaign OF 1882 when
he was candidate for reelection. AT

gard to the Frontier Question.
CoNsTANTINopLE, July IL. Queen
Victoria, Emperor William, Emperor
Nicholas, President Faure and King
Humbert have replied to the telegram
received by them from the sultan, and
all give advice similar to that sent by
Emperor Francis Joseph.
Emperor William says in substance
that he regrets his inability to disas-
sociate himself from the views held by
the other powers.
Replies to the circular of the Turk
ish government to the powers relative
to the frontier question, have also
been received by the ambassadors.
They all decline to admit the Turkish
pretensions.
The porte has sent another circular
to the powers proposing that, in view
of the disturbed conditions existing in
Crete, Turkey send reinforcements to
the island. To this the powers have
also replied, endeavoring to dissuade
the porte from such step.
This latest proposal on the part of
the Turkish government is held to indi-
cate that the sultan does not intend to
yield in regard to the frontier ques
