DOW, OF NO 81 MAIDEN LANE
The sudden disappearance Of the firm OF "
Day!dow & Co. which had jewery business at
No 81 Maiden Lane. and the discovery that num-
Der OF given by the firm were worthless nave
caused stir among the jewellers in the city There
have been many anxious inquiries for Herman
Davidov. who had been carrying on business for
years under the name OF his wife. Victorla Davi-
dow but Herman has disappeared also. BY an ex-
change Of information among the jewellers IN
Maiden Lane and John-st.. 1t has been estimated
that Davidows bad debts will amount to about
10000. possibly more. and some Of the Jewellers
were talking yesterday OF setting on foot A criminal
prosecution
J. w. Block & Brother at No Maiden Lane
have been about the heaviest losers by Davldow's
operations and a member OF the firm said yester-
day that their loss amounted TO over GOO. repre-
sentng diamonds which Davldov had obtained on

Representatives of the firms said YESTERDAY that
Davidow had obtained stock Of comparatively small
value from them. the value being less than $1,000 In
each case, but that Il was understood that there
would be a large number Of creditors. From Mr..
johnson Davidow purchased lot of siverware
and shipped 1t to Pennsylvania.
1t was said yesterday that Davdow had a fair
reputation in Maiden Lane and had beer getting
goods credit for fifteen years. selling the goods
and paying for hem with ordinary promptness. He
was supposed to be a man OF good habits. and his
sudden disappearance was surprise to most OF the
men with whom he had transacted business. A
week ago Davidow went to the landlord or the
building In which he had his store and said he had
sold out his business TO a man from Boston, He
exhibited what appeared TO be a bill of sale. His
store was locked up for day or two. and when
the landlord got in he found the place bare and
deserted Davidow mad lived at No 1.24 Madison

About the same time notes which he had given fell:
due and were found to be worthless. 1t was said
Yesterday that appeal had been made to the
police 10 arrest Davidow. and there was some doubt
if his transactions had been such as 10 permit OF
criminal proceedings. At the same time some or
the Jewellers inclined to believe that civil

was offered by Southern grain-exporting firms for
the name Of the person who sent dispatches from
New-York that there were 1900 cars Of hot corn at
Galveston and New Orleans which was not worth
freight charges The Idea was that the purpose OF
the dispatch was TO injure Galveston and New

have read not hot corn. but hot tamaes" thus
showing that the tamae trade was having n great

WHEELING, ooToREa IS, lso1.


Az rule the Democratic presc OF the
state Is silent on the subject o. The IN
debtedness OF Secretary of state Chill
ton to the state. In view Of their com
ments on alleged extravaganccs OF
Republican administration ana legisla-
ture their silence is already amounted
for. Whatever may be the clus+s Of the
ex-sacretarys shortage, and notwith-
standing his assurances that he win set
tie the matter with the state, the dts
creditabie fact remains that affairs at
the state house were loosely conducted
under the late administration.
Why should a state officer be bahind
in his accounts, and why should he con-
tinue to be so for seven months after ne
has retired from office? These questions
are being asked by citizens everywhere
II there is anything in the system on
which the business of the office Is con-
Quoted which permits such condition Of
affairs 10 exist, 1t should be corrected
and doubtless will he by the present alr
minlstration.
In connection with the Chiffon affair II
is stated that the bond OF the secretary
of state is but $4,000, while the alleged
Indebtedness is said to be nearly or quite
twice that sum. Mr. Chiffon, 1t is true,
assures the public that his bondsmen will
not be obliged to settle the account as he
is able to do so himself. but II the system
is such that a secretary can become In
debted to the treasury many more times
than the amount of his bond, then the
size of the bond should be increased. We
trust that the matter will be settled sat
Isfactorily soon, before the public begins
to suspect that that there is something
really wrong.

ladies' to the preparatory department. It
should be noted that at their meeting
last week the regents made change in

mission of ladies' to all departments, thus
removing the cause of the criticism.
There is now no restriction whatever
in co-education, and this Is as 1t should
be. II the doors of the University are

The death OF Charles A. Dana, the
great New York journalist, and editor of
the New York Sun, takes from the field
of active journalism and politics one of
the most remarkable figures in American
public life. He occupied unique posi-
ton, and stood alone as a man whose
chief characteristic was his independ-
ence.
Mr. Dana welded a brilliant though
caustlc pen, more brilliant, caustic and
vlndIctive. in fact than influential. His
place in Journalism he made for himself,
and he will live in history as one of the
genluses of this country who left an I'M
