Failure Statistics.
New York, June 5.-Bradstreets pub
fishes this week the results of what is
claimed Is the most important statistical
investigation ever made concerning busi-
ness failures in various lines Of trade. 1t
covers the past three years. and the sum-
mary of the results presents the total num-
Der Of failures in lines of business in which
there were ten or more annually during
the three years named. Purely CONNER
cial enterprises, wholesale and retail, are
seen to furnish 70 per cent. Of the bust
ness failures each year and manufacturing
embarrassments about 20 per cent. Out Of
the increase of nearly 2,100 failures In 1896,
compared with 1896, 1,135, or more than one
half, were of retail commercial concerns.
The counting of the total number Of indi-
viduals. firms and corporations in business
in 81 groups Of the more important lines
Of trade is an unprecedented work These
totals constitute what may be termed the
business population of the country in these
lines, and permit with the totals of failures
in these lines. the calculation of the COM
mercial death rate in the departments or
lines of business specified. This record
shows that In 1896, n out of every 1,0OO
clothing concerns, and 81 out of every 1000
bicycle houses failed in business, the two
lines have relatively the greatest COM
mercial mortality last year. The rate
throughout the country in all lines last
year was IA commercial deaths out of every
| 1000 in business. Commercial failures were
relatively most numerous, after the two
lines specified. among manufacturers of
or dealers in hats, furniture, glassware,
dry goods. notions. woolens, jewelry, lum-
Der and hardware. After that the rate of
embarrassment approximated more near

pany, SO strong, under Capt. Bradbury,
marched uptown to the Jail whence
they found 1000 people surrounding
the jail.
The company marched into the Jail
yard and were met by Hon. M. Lewis,

Lewis. "There is the sheriff over
there" pointing to Mayor Ganson, who
at that particular moment came for
ward from the crowd on the court
house steps and proceeded to address
the militia and the crowd. The mayor
assured the militia that their services
were not wanted, that the people were
law-abiding and would assist him in
preserving order, that the company
could leave the courthouse yard;
when their services were needed he
would send for them. The Springfield
company, without waiting for further
orders, marched down street to the de-
pot, without as much as the sheriff see

The local military company had pre-.
xiously refused to serve longer and
went to the second story of the sheriff
residence and tried to sleep.

Urbana, o., June Sin the riot here
at $3.50 Friday morning two lives were
lost and ten citizens were wounded. AT
7:3Oa. m. Charles Mitchell (colored), the
cause of all the trouble, was taken from
the Jail by Infatuated citizens and
lynchcd. The two previous nights and
Thursday portended the gravest dam
ger, but no such results We're antici-
pated as those within the five hours
from 2:30 to 1880 a. m. Friday. Includ-
ing the brutal Mitchell, there are three
dead and ten wounded. All of the VIC
Tins were innocent citizens who were
spectators on the scene of excitement
except Mitchell. In addition to this list,
1t is feared that Mrs. Eliza Gaumer,
who was criminally assaulted by the
negro, will not recover, and several of
the injured are in serious condition.
Besides this list of casualties there is
such intense feeling against some of the
officials that it will not be wiped out in
the present generation and further COM
plications are apprehended in the fu-
ture. While the past two nights and the
past two days witnessed scenes of law
lessness and bloodshed, yet the feeling
at no time has been as intense as it is
at this hour. The body of Mitchell was
exposed all day in a rough coffin, and it
intensified the feeling among the
masses who witnessed it. The bodies
of the citizens who were killed were
tenderly cared for and their funerals
on Sunday will tend to keep alive the
bitter feeling. While the wounded are
being tenderly cared for at their homes,
yet several of them are crippled for life
and will be living reminders of the
trouble.

BENJAMIN HARRISON SPEAKS

Is Ex-President Harrison Populist
is question that is being asked just
now. The question has arisen because
OF his advocating municipal ownership OF
light and water and street car companies.
Recent dispatches credit him with say
ing: "Of special importance are the
safeguards to be thrown about the grant.
ing OF franchises to the promoters of
great schemes for public service. In
this respect there are valuable lessons to
be learned from the late foreign expert
ments. Some principal cities of Scotlan d
have assumed each the control OF it,
street railway systems and its lighting
plants as well as lts water works. The
result of this public ownership of great
public enterprises have been exceedingly
satisfactory and instructive.
81 am inclined to consider municipal
ownership as the best means to secure
to the people the cheapest and best
service. Of course the effects of compe
tition between private enterprises are not
to be lost sight of as far as they increase
quality and lower prices. But the usual
method of selling franchises outright, or
of receiving for them a royalty, seldom
gives to the people more than 1.-THE OF
what the people themselves later return.
The bigger the price and the larger tho
royalty, the greater the cost of ride OF
of gas jet. 1t is a species OF tax"

Hops.

The hop market remains very firm and
buyers are making propositions at /.
cents, but the growers are not anxious tc
sell even at this figure. The hops are
not all in the bale yet, and there is q
strong disposition to hold on at any rate
until the crop is ready for the market.
Many of our growers declare that they
will hold for 20 cents.
Oregonian: The highest price for hops
paid so far this season is reported from
Salem, where c. c. Carmichael yesterday
bought SO bales from Joseph Frazier Of
Whitson, paying for the same at the rate
OF 10 cents pound This is said to be
the choicest lot Of hops raised and mar
keted in this state, and WAS shipped to
the Atlantic seaboard last night via the
Union Pacific.

While sales Of hops are frequent all about
us, particularly in Sollsville, Madison
and Bouckville, very little is doing in
Waterville. The growers seem to be
responsible for the dullness as they are
very firm and unwilling sellers at the
present rates. About the highest price at
which transactions have taken place is
10 cents, though shade better has been
paid in one or two instances. Offers OF
l6 cents have been made for few choice
lots, but no sales resulted. Growers
seem to have firm faith that they can get
better prices and are waiting. This Ger.
tainly ia a better policy (if they don't
wait too long, than rushing on the mar.
ket and depressing the present good
prices. We have reliable information
from Cooperstown that II cents was of.
tered there within day or two, and thai

deavored to secure more than one lot for

George E. Scott tells us in the Ohio
Farmer that he knows Of five creamer-

which have adopted the method of pass

Ter to warm it for the separator. Mr..
Scott says:
The accompanying illustration is
something new as heating device in

Some objections have been raised to
using live steam in milk for heating it

A Tale of tire Sea.

Two American captains were recently
relating their experiences on different
voyages. One of them told the follow
ing story: "About l p. IN. on March
my ship was proceeding under full sail
when a cloud about the size of a man s
hand was observed on the horizon. 1t
came on, and as it neared the ship we
discovered that it was composed of To-
Gusts. They settled on the sails, and you
couldn't see bit Of canvas for them
When they flew away, there was not a
stitch of canvas left on the yards 3"
"Ah," said the other captain, II can
quite believe that, for at about $3.50
p m. on March 2 my vessel was pro.
ceeding under full sail when we OBJ
served a small cloud on the horizon.
AS it approached the shipwe discovered
that it was cloud Of locusts, and as
they passed our vessel we saw that
