WIPED OUT.

The chancery court which meets !
at Jasper next Monday will APP
prove or disGpprove OF the sale Of
the property Of the Srquachee
Valley Coal and Iron Company
and Sequachee Town & Improve
ment company, and if approved
as we are advised the sale will b.,
both these companies pass away
and leave only memory,
And M these companies were al
most the last To he formed 50 also
are almost the last to be judicially
w,ped out, and it is remarkable IN
connection with The towns that
were started in the speculative
years years 187S-9.80 no one Sem
ed to have made amy money un~
less IL were those rom whom the
lands were purchased and with
but lew exceptions, if they got high
prices for their property, either by
recklessneSs or poor investments,
they got rid Of the money they re-
ceived and to-day finds them with
neither lands or money
The Sequachee companies were
not of the reckless, speculative kind
but Tor want of capital to develop
with, they were by the continued
business depression, obliged to re-
main inactive, until from the same
causes their property deprecated
until so per cent of its value had
gone.
70 the stockholders who put in
their money in good faith or those
who received TIE same for payment
there is nothing. For the bond,
holders who paid for their bonds,
but meager return can be ex'
pected, but the causes which led
to 1t were what affected the whole
couHtry, and as the companies had
no means to develop or improve
the property, the end has c1me.
There are those who say the
company ought to have done this
or that. The answer to this is
more than emphasized by the fact
that they had no money to do with
and cons, quentiy nothing was
done. That is all there is to it,
II other companies who had mil,
lions 20 develop with made such
poor showing and lamentabie fall
ures, these companies whose total
receipts aid not exceed S250O0O
have made better showing than
many others,
AS to the future we are not ad
vised as to what II contemplated
but we put ourselves on record
with this statement. The proper
ty is as good as ever it was in 1890
the mineral deposits are in the
mountain; the timber that remains
has had seven years growth, the
town site is the best in the valley,
and we hope the new owners will
DO able to command means to take
hold where the defunct companies
lett of, aud make it what We want
It to be-s success in every psrtio-
ular.

Philadelphia's WAY.

The managers of the great hospitals
or Philadelphia hav come u a decision
regarding the pay for caring for the
sick and wounded soldiers intrusted to
them which the country will note with
grateful approval. The number OF these
patients assigned to the various hospi-
tails OF the Quaker City is In all about
1900. and for their care at the daily
rate OF so cents per capita the institu-
tons are entitled TO draw something
like $4,000 from h government. The
hospital managers however,
that the thought of pay for such serv-
Ice had v entered their heads that
they don't want the money. and will
not accept IT, This high-minded phil
anthropy Is worthy OF all praise. and
commends itself as an example to the
managers OF hospitals I'm other cities
where our soldiers and sailors have
been taken I'm for medical or urgical
treatment Tho action OF the Philadel-
phis authorities Is em!nen;ly worthy OF
the splendid. progressive and unsslhsh

Russian Occupation.

London. Oct. 20.-A dispatch from
Shanghai to a London news agency says:
A Russian regiment occupied the town Of
New Chwang. province of lao Tong. and
the forts at the mouth of the river Lao
on Oct. Is, thus securing complete posses
sion of New Chwang. The native troop
fled without making any opposition, under
orders from the empress dowager and Ii
Hung Chang. A British gunboat was in
the river at the time. Its non-resistance
is regarded as the virtual British abandon
ment of the whole of Manchuria to the
Russians, and gives Russia an invaluable
strategic position. Great Britain is certain
to lose the New Chwang trade, of which
1t has had so per cent.

Chairman Macveigh paid an elo-
quent tflDute 10 the american soiuie'
as he called upon the two men most
prominent in the late war to reply to
the toast THE Army"
The toast was drunk amid wild en-
thusiasm, cheer after cheer ringing
through the hall as General Miles rose
to speak of the glorious deeds Of the
American regulars Inc volunteers. Ev-
cry allusion to the deeds performed By
the American fighting men was greeted
with another vocal outburst and amid
the frantic waving of napkins n
handkerchiefs.
The welcome extended to General
Shafter. who followed the address OF
General Miles with another on the same
subject. was greeted with no less ac-
claim than that accorded to his supe-
rior in rank. The reception accorded
to General Shafter since his arrival In
| Chicago has veritably been that OF a
conquering hero. He Is popular with
the Chicago public, and the public has
been in no way chary of letting him
know of the fact His address was as
follows:
