LEGAL complications over the
last bond issue are threatened at
the treasury department OF the
United States by the North Amer-
can Trust Co. Ex-Secretary Car
Isle is in Washington representing
them in the matter of the bids for
the war bonds issued by the gov
eminent. The North American
Trust Co. forwarded subscriptions
of clients for large amount of the
war bonds - estimated between
$5, 600, 900 and $6,OO0,0OO. The
company claimed that none OF the
subscriptions was for itself, but
represented clients of all kinds,
possessing both small and large
amounts of money. In the main,
it is understood, the company
claimed that the subscribers were
for small amounts, such as would
be likely to be awarded bonds. The
law authorizing the bonds required
that awards should be made first to
small subscribers. 1t was found
that the subscribers for $500 and
less would absorb about $780,
600. 900 of the bonds. The re-
naming 800, 900, 900 was to be di-
vided among subscribers above
that amount. While all the bonds
have not been sent out, no sub
scriber for over S., 900 was award
ed a bond. The number of sub
scribers for amounts between $500
and 1000 was sufficient to absorb
the remaining 500, 900, 900. 1t
was announced that subscriptions
from banking institutions for large
amounts would not be considered
unless it could be shown that they
represented clients of those institu-
tions. When the time came to
award the bonds the treasury Off
cials began to examine into the
subscriptions, and found hundreds
of instances of institutions using
fictitious names to secure bonds.
Some subscriptions of this kind
were thrown out, but it appears
now that about one-half the total
issue actually is in possession of
the national banks and large capi-
talists. This New York trust COM
pany has secured no less than one
in bonds which, it claims,
are for bona fide subscribers.

THE great tobacco trust of the
United States has put the screws
TO all competitors, and utter de-
moralization in industrial shares
has resulted from the recent slump
in tobacco stock. All securities of
the industrial companies have been
affected by it, and those most di-
rectly interested have been unable
to check the steady decline in val
ues. The shrinkage of tobacco
alone within the past twelve days
amounts to six million dollars.
Like the great Standard Oil trust,
this gigantic tobacco trust proposes
to starve out all competition by
running prices down to such a
point they can't pay expenses.
After they crush out their com
petitors they will force prices up to
point to repay them all they have
lost by forcing prices down.

SEVERAL weeks ago Gen. Pando
said the war between Spain and
the United States was not over.
and from the menacing tone of
Spain's proposition to the peace
commissioners now in session in
Paris, France, it seems he knew
what he was talking about. 1t is
now among the strong probabili-
ties that squadron of the Ameri-
can feet will be sent to the coast
Of Spain to show that country that
she is still in very dangerous po-
sition, and Admiral Schley is spo-
ken of as the officer to be chosen
to command the squadron. A
prominent official at Washington
says if Spain insists on the lines of
peace she has suggested America
must resort again to arms. Spain
has raised the question of Admiral
Dewey's control of the insurgents
She has made the absurd demand
of the right to send Spanish
force during an armistice to the
Philippines to suppress a rebel
lion which is under the perfect
control of the American army.
She has threatened to unnecessari-
ly prolong the evacuation of Cuba
and her commissioners are now en-
deavoring to exact impossible con-
ditions of peace relating to the
Philippines from the American
commissioners at Paris -

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, Oct. 3.-There was a
lot of bear news to-day. Farmer
estimates total yield of 702, 900, 900
bushels. In spite of this, the de-
cline established was only frac-
tional, although there is no i'm
provement in the general trade.
Corn-Dull, weak with wheat;
receipts large, cash demand not so
urgent. Farmers are evidently
shelIing their old corn to make
room for the new crop.
Oats-Receipts fair, cash demand
good. The position of this cereal
is strong.
Provisions-Dull, shade weaker.
Provisions look low considering
the demand, and we think better
prices will follow on the advent of
cooler weather.

New York, Oct. 3.-The market
was to . points higher at the
opening, the improvement being
due to better cables. Liverpool
1-2 to l point higher, when New
York opened, while spot sales
reached 10, 900 The early feeling
was one of more confidence and
this most likely to continue for
some days as we reach the time for
frost reports. The market having,
in the opinion of not a few, been
unduly pressed, it would not be
surprising if sharp rally follows
sudden news of a killing frost.
This prevents a lower market on
account of free heavy receipts, and
in fact it is said that free receipts
have in measure been anticipated.
Gables closed at l point advance,
market steady. New York trading
all the morning was on small
scale. Prices during the forenoon
showed slight changes. There
was very little doing in futures
during the afternoon. Spinners
at Manchester said to be short of
cotton. New York closed 3 to 4
points higher.

OF the Lehigh Coal & Coke Co., at

OF men were caught by bad cavern
caused by the weakening Of the pile

capped and four were buried under
thousands of tons of burning coal.
One was rescued alive, but the other
three, whose names are unknown,
have probably persisted. The fire
was the worst which has been ex-

and Breaks Horses.
Logan county boasts of one Of the
unique characters in Kentucky in the
person of Lorenzo Pearcef1eld, who
since childhood has been an honored
member of the Shaker community at
South Union. Mr.. Pearcefield is now
close on to seventy years OF age, and
weighs about 300 pounds.
There is not another man in Logan
or any other county, SO far as is
known, who Is seventy years old and
weighs 300 pounds, who is noted as
the most successful horse breaker in
his section. Yet this is true Of the
colossal old Shaker. The secret of
his success in this direction seems to
lie in his great strength and courage.
He is absolutely fearless and almost
as strong as an ordinary horse. He
has a system all his own, which con-
sists in first demonstrating to the per-
feet satisfaction of the horse that he
is master of the situation. To do this
1t is sometimes necessary to throw
the horse down and sit upon its head,
which Mr.. Pearcifield does in the most
approved style. After 800 pounds has
sat upon his horseships head for a
little while he is satisfied. Mr.. Pear
cifield then bitches him to his little
cart and drives about and looks at the
country So great is his fame as a
- r.
for miles around bring him unman-
ageable horses to break, and none has
baffled his skill and strength.

He Abandoned the Stage.

There is in Philadelphia a man who
abandoned the theatrical profession
because he could not lift Fanny Da-
venport. He was member of one of
the local stock companies about twen-
ty years ago, when Miss Davenport
came to Philadelphia with one of the
men Of her company sick She ap-
piled to the manager of the theater in
which the young man referred to was
employed for some one to take the
sick mans place, and as the young
actor was not in the cast Of the play
running, his services were loaned to
sLss Davenport. He was cast for the
part Of Caius Lucius in "Cymbeline, I"
and the business of the part required
that he should take Miss Davenport
in his arms and carry her off the stage
The lady weighed considerably more
than he did, and when he attempted
to pick her up he found that his
strength was not equal to the task. His
struggles caused the audience to laugh
and that spoiled good scene. He was
SO Inundated that he left the profes.
sion.

In regard to the point involved III
the verdict Judge Start said; eff
the respondent procured those instru-
ments Tor moral PURPOSE and they
were not used for any other to his
knowledge, and he did not counsel or
advise their use for wrong purpose,
1t is important that it should be 50

should be acquitted. But on the other
hand, if they were procured for the

least six days before town meeting
and have usually got them that day
or the day after the meeting. We

Oar Watches the Best.

The superiority Of American watch
manufacture Is gradually being ac-
knowledged all over the globe. 1t Is
hard to predict, says a Paris paper,
what an Englishman would say if the
accuracy of the time given by the
Greenwich observatory, which sets
the time for the civilized world,
should be questioned by the owner
of an American watch. Yet this was
done recently, and the Yankee watch
was right. One day Mr.. Thomas
Wheate, of London, noticed that the
time ball was, according to his Wal
than watch, a few seconds fast. Con-
fident that his time-piece was not at
fault, he wrote to the astronomer
royal, asking him to let him know II
the watch was right or wrong. In re-
ply he received a letter to the effect
that on the day in question the time
ball through an accident, dropped
about eighteen seconds before the cor
rect moment.
