interesting to many to know that these

TORREY AT PHILADELPHIA.

The third annual banquet of the Mer-
chants club of Philadelphia. at the Wal
ton last night, was unusually attractive
in the outward signs OF it, and was in
t~elleclually notable by the presence and
the speech of Judge Jay l.. Torrey, who
is widely known as the author of the
national bankruptcy law. The table
was circular in form. the space within
filled with clustered palms and around
this Round Robin" board were seated
60 members and guests of the club. The
address OF Judge Torrey on the theme.
National Bankruptcy Laws" a in
part as follows:
THE chief opposition, outside OF con-
gress, to good bankruptcy legislation
comes from a very few great houses in
the commercial c%enters. and a few prom
inent %financiers. neither of whom wish
TO have their selfish scheme subjected
to review by courts of equity.
Such houses and men bring their in
f1uence to bear on congress. not in the
light of day, nor in fair, open contest.
1t is done mainly through their paid
representatives in country places. The
form OF opposition. strangely enough,
generally m in a cry that a bank
ruptcy law is to be used by the great
houses in the cities 20 Cypress their deb
tors in the country.
1T goes without saying that the cry
is II false one. The chief need OF hon.
est debtors is a law which will protect
them from unnecessary suits by individ-
iual frightened or malicious creditors,
which will result in financial calamity,
The chief need Of honest creditors is a
law to protect them not against the debt
or, but against other creditors with no
greater rights than they have.
Honest debtors are interested in the
passage Of a law which will permit them
TO be discharged from debts growing
out OF unavoidable misfortunes, and en-
able them TO secure credit with which
to promote enterprises and carry on bus

mess. Honest creditors are interested
IN the passage Of a law which will en-
able them To loan money and sell goods
with the assurance that they will be pro-
tected against dishonesty by their debt
ors, and the securing OF preferences by
their fellow creditors"
Judge Torrey then summarized the
provisions OF the bankruptcy bill named
for him, showing its advantages and the
needs for such measures as were includ-
ed in this proposed law.
Present legitimate business methods
will not be interierred with by the Tor
rey DILL he said. 1T is not a measure
relating to transactions between honest
solvent persons, firms, or corporations.
but for the relief OF honest, insolvent
debtors, the prevention of dishonesty
n the administration of the estates of
insolvent and dishonest debtors more
economically and equitably thar il is
possible to do under present laws"
1.-THE bill contains provisions neces-
sary to make it a permanent and COM
plete equitable bankruptcy code.
Judge Torrey, in closing, spoke earn
estly of the pending conflict in the SEN
ate between he purely voluntary bank
rnptcy bill and the complete measure
bearing his name, for voluntary and in
voluntary bankruptcy, and gave at
length the reasons why a voluntary bill
would injure the interests of not only
creditors. but debtors as well.-Phila-

The Rawlins Republican contains the
following additional particulars OF the
loss in the storm OF Thomas HOgg and
his companion:
Thomas fIogg. a ~well-known young
%ranChman. and Il companion whose
name is not known. started from Raw
Inns Saturday afternoon last to go TO
the 2O-mile ranch southwest OF Rawlins.
Both men were on horseback. Their
dead bodies were found this morning
about IA miles from town by AL Rodgers
and Rawlins who were with the party
that started II yesterday. Both men
were lying together, and n of their
horses was dead "A short distance away.
The other horse was found in a ravine
about a half a mile off nearly starved
to death. This animal was found last
night so they were satisfied that the I'M
fortunate men were not far away. They
were about two miles east OF the road.
Rawlins and Rodgers arrived in town
at | o'clock this afternoon and notified
Coroner ThGdc who will send out for
he bodies Al once.
It is evident that ITogg and his COM
panion go, off the road Dol after pass
ing LathrUp. They had u%nsaddled their
horses, and attempted to protect them
selves from the storm with their saddle
blankets.

ed them about - miles out. \. 7. Cor
lett of sulphur was a short distance
ahead OF them viii a team. Soon after
passing I.athrUp Mr.. Corlett got off the
road, but managed 10 find it again and
turned back to own He saw nothing
more OF Mr.. HUgg and his companion.
When the later failed 10 put in an APP
pearance at the ranch the men became
uneasy and starred out Sunday to look
Tor him. They came to Rawlins with
o u finding any trace OF the missing
men. Wm. Hogg, a brother OF the miss
ing man came in from the desert Tues
day, and yesterday morning a party OF
a half dozen men on horseback headed
by S. Fl. Green went out to thoroughly
scour the country.
The man who was with Hogg is a
stranger here. He is called a half-breed
and was said to be stopping at Hogg's
ranch until he could secure a job.
Hogg and his companion were both
considerably under the influence OF
liquor when they left town. Parties who
met them tried to pursuade them to
come back, bat they would not do it.
Hogs companion was very poorly
clad, having neither an overcoat or ov-
ershoes.
Mr.. Hogg had many friends in this
county who will be panied to hear OF
his sad fate. Nothing is known con
corning the other man.
