Good Words for Ely Toupain.

The very closest companion and boon
friend Ely Toupain had in life was Herb
Pope. Of the Fred Mantey Saddlery com.
pany. Last night Mr.. Pope in speaking
OF the deceased said: II know OF no
young man raised in this city and coun-
ty who had better principles than Ely
Toupain. He was a devoted son to his
parents; faithful friend and was below
ed by all who knew him. know Of my
own personal observation that he would
do anything before saying q harmful
word against q friend. He never gos
siped about any one and in my judgment
he was a model boy. Only the night be.
fore. he sat with me on the door etep Of
our business place and conversed for
several hours. At $50 we walked up
the street and got cigars and both Of US
started home. he said to me that night
that he only intended to remain in the
railway business few years. or until he
got a stake, and then he wanted to en-
gage in some business"
ALI the boy friends OF the deceased are
unanimous in saying that he was young
man Of dne principles, and every one
knows that his devotion to his parents
was such that it ennoblei him 10 tho
eyes Of his friends.

few miles south of Fort Dodge,
through confusion of orders sent
out a gravel train to meet fast
freight coming from the north. Nhen

Green received orders to let the
gravel train go to pass the trelght

ders notified him that they would
pass at Ohio. BY mistake he gave
the first orders to the gravel train,
which had gone too far north to
be held before he noticed the blum

freight had already left. Then
his mind snapped under the strain.
The trains came together on a heavy
grade, but the crews jumped and
escaped injury. The engines were
badly smashed, but aside from this
the damage was slight.

PHILLIPS COMPANY FAILS
Commission House in the Hands OF
Receiver.

Chicago. Aug. 16.--On the petition
of three creditors of the George IL.
Phillips company a petition in bank
rupcy has been filed for the company
in the United States district court.
George IT. Phillips and two other al
rectors of the company filed thelr
consent that the petition be allowed,
and the Chicago Title and Trust COM
pany has been appointed temporary
receiver. ,.
The filing of the petition and the
appointment of the receiver Will en-
able the company to continue In busl-
ness.
One of the directors, w. X. Sack
EFT, will be appointed by the receiver
to manage the business and the al
fairs of the company will proceed
under the new management.
BY Mr.. Phillips own statement the
company is insolvent. The Liabilities
he places at about 100000, with as
sets at known and face value amount
ing to $225,OOO or $S'j0,000. OF this he
believes 100000 is in worthless ac-
counts, SO that the company will fall
short approximately of 100000 in
the settlement.
This, Mr.. Phillips declares, he will
make up to his creditors to the last
cent. He says that he has lost or
given up all of his money and rear
estate, but that, accepting the offers
of financial assistance, he will resume
business individually. Voluntarily,
he proposes to give for the benefit
of the creditors every dollarof profit
he makes in his transactions over
and above $4,000 a year, which he
will keep for himself and family.

signals at Cienfuegos.
Washington, Aug. IL. - Admiral
Schley is said to possess information
which it is stated will justify him pc
fore the court of inquiry for ms ue-
Law at Cienfuegos during the war
with Spain.
He Will show that he left Cientue-
COS for Santiago the moment ne was
convinced that the Spanish meet WAS
not in the former harbor. An exam
ination of the logs of the Marblehead,-
Brooklyn and Iowa has already de-
veloped information which, in the
opinion of his friends, entirely JUST
fed him in the course he pursued.
The tlyinp squadron. in obedience to
instructions from Admiral sampson,
got under way at $40 a. m, on May
for Cienfuegos, where it was gener-
ally believed the Spanish squadron
would take refuge. \ few hours
after the Spanish squadron left; the
Marblehead. Eagle and Vixen arrived
at Key West direct from Cienfuegos,
and Captain McCalla, Of the Marble
head. reported to Admiral sampson
that he had arranged Il code OF sig
nails with the Cubans and had flNed
a rendezvous on the shore where
they could be communicated with,
and where information could be eN-
changed. Admiral Sampson directed
this information to be communicated
to the commanders of the vessels or
the fleet. and it was given to all then
at Key West, including Captain Evans
of the Iowa.
At this time Admiral Schley, with
the flying squadron, was on his way
to Cienfuegos May 81, but Captain
Evans supposed that Admiral Schley
had the signal code, and did not COM
municate it to him, and it was not
until the next day when Captain Nc
Gala joined the flying squadron. with
the Marblehead. Eagle and Vixen,
that Admiral Schley knew of the code.
Captain McCalla upon his arrival com
municated with the insurgents and
ascertafned that the Spanish squad
ron was not in the karbor. AS Ad-
.miral Schley had been directed by
admiral Sampson to mask his real
direction upon his departure. he
waited until after dark, when he
steamed for Santiago.
1t will be contended by Admiral
Schley that he was justified in re-
naming at Cienfuegos until he had
definitely established whether the
Spanish fleet was in that harbor, and
that under instructions given him
he was required to obtain exact in
formation before he sailed for San
tiago de Cuba. TO have left that
point for Santiago when the Span
iards might have given out informa-
ton showing that Cervera's squadron
was at that point as a ruse would
have been, in his opinion, grave error
of iudrment
