THE BANKRUPT ACT.
Liquidations Under the New Law Les
Numerous Than Expected.

Jnder the New Law Less
Numerous Than Expected.
New YORK, Aug. 3.-The bankrupt
act has been in operation year and
during that time there have been filed
in this city 1881 petitions with the
clerk of the United States district court
and 720 discharges have been granted.
The act has not been as popular as ex.
pected. Estimates were made when
the act was passed that from 5000 to
$4,000 persons would take advantage Of
it the first year, as it was believed that
there are at least 100000 persons in this
city with judgments hanging over
them. The clerk Of the United States
district court who has charge of the
petitions says that the number of petit
tions filed in the past year is short about
400 in comparison with the first year Of
the old bankrupt act in 1867, when over
1,700 petitions were filed.

all means Of defense, took place during

General Pareja, in his defense, said
the garrison Of the city of Santiago. de
Cuba lacked food, many Of the soldiers
having died Of hunger. Previously.
however, he added, the troops fought
bravely and many officers and men
were killed. In addition, the hospitals
lacked medicines. The general read
several kilograms exchanged between
the authorities at Washington and Ma
jor General Shafter, the latter showing
himself confident of forcing the surren-
der Of Santiago de Cuba.
General Toral made similar defense.
He said Santiago de Cuba was defense
less, and that it was impossible to hold
out longer. He read a telegram ser,
him by Captain General Rlanco who,
after consulting with the authorities at
Madrid, approved Of the capitulation.
Another Spanish officer testified tina:
when he entered Santiago he found
three-quarters of the troops sick.

newspapers publish many stories illus

from riding on tie cars of the Big Con-

all occupations and walks of life are
being affected more or less and are suf-
fering greatly in consequence. The
street railroad company continues to
operate its cars on all lines, but many
of them are run over the road empty,
while on the other hand the cars of the
Little Consolidated and the union buses
are crowded to their utmost capacity.
Apparently officials of the company are

Difficulty Experienced in Removing
Troops From Fort Monroe.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Sit was stated
early in the day that General Merritt
had acceded to the request of Surgeon
General Wyman and that the garrison
at Fort Monroe would be sent to some
other place farther north than Battery
Point, Del. Later in the day it was an
nounced that no change in destination
had been made.
Some difficulty is being experienced
in removing the troops from Fortress
Monroe. None Of the steamship CON-
panies will take them, and just at pres
ent no government transports are avail
able. It was intended that the troops
should be conveyed by the Pennsylvania
Railways transport from Fortress Mon
roe to Cape Charles and by the Penn
sylvania road to Battery Point, but the
Norfolk authorities have notified the
Pennsylvania officials that if the trans
port is used for that purpose she will
not be allowed to enter Norfolk for five
days, which would cut off communica-
ton for the railroad between Cape
Charles and Norfolk. .-..--1,c.-

which the convention adj ourned until 2

The situation SO, far as the supreme

settled when the recess was taken, but
it was believed that G.,S,. Robinson Off
Sioux, City, the present incumbent,
would be nominated. His chief con-
testants We're SherWin Of Linn, and

they would throw their support to Rob-
inson. At O'clock the district caucuses

What Republicans Will Do.
Former Congressman George M. Cur
tbs OF Clinton was chosen permanent
chairman by an agreement of the lead
ers Of the convention. In assuming
the gavel he spoke briefly.
"The Republican party" he said,
"will, if permitted under Providence to
continue to administer the affairs Of the
government, maintain order and law
and put down all instructions. It will
solve and administer the affairs of
finance, and will successfully grapple
with the problem of unlawful trusts
and combines, so that no oppression or
tyranny or injurious monopoly shall
distress or burden the people. The Re-
publican party will make this govern
ment in the future, as it is now, and
has been in the past, under its benefi-
cent policies, a superior genius-the
idol of its own citizens and the admira-
ton of the whole world"

mittees Smith Mcpherson, congressman

THE HORSE KILLED OUTRIGHT.

South Framingham, July 4.-James
Certify So years old, and James Doran,
So, both residents of Saxonville, met
with serious accident last night
about 1890, while driving home from
Natick in an outfit belonging to the
former, by their team being struck by
a Natick-bound trolley car on the Ma
tick and Cochituate street railway, on
the road between Saxonville and CO.
chituate.
The horse was killed outright, the We
hicle demolished and the two occupants
badly hurt. Doran was the more Sc
riously injured of the two, he sustain
ing fracture of the left hip and right
shoulder, as well as being badly cut
about the face and head. He was con-
veyed to Framingham hospital, where
he received surgical treatment.
Gerrity was badly cut about the head
and face, and after he returned to con-
sciousness, he was conveyed to his
home on Beacon street, where he was
attended by a physician.
Eye witnesses to the accident say
that the. escape of Gerrity and Doran
from horrible death was miraculous,
as the men drove into the car as it was
bowling along at good rate of speed,
and they exculpate the motorman from
all blame for the accident the cause
being clearly the mems own careless
ness.
Doran, considering his condition, is
getting along as comfortably as might
be expected, and unless some COM
plications arise, within the next few
days, will recover. Gerrity will be
confined to the house for some time, as
he is suffering much from his injuries.

The trend Of events is making Amer
lea every year more and more the west
ward overland route betwixt Europe
and the far Orient, and turning our
own stream of trade and traffic more
the Pacific coast. The New York Gem
trail lines are naturally receiving the
main body of the new patronage. The
wonderful comfort and speed of their
trains, the directness of their connec-

bility are the factors. that determine
this. Nothing SO impresses the traveller

this good opinion. for that is the trans
