ADVERSE REPORT
BY SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON
 HUDSON BANKS CLAIM.
Report on the Claim Exhaustive and Goes Into Every Detail of
 the Matter.

LITTLE ROCK, March 20-The snecial Investigating committee, after :, thorough examination of books, rec ardc letters. etc, makes an adverse report on the claim of the Farmers National Bank, of Hudson, New York, for s65 900 on Arkansas state bonds, and recommend that the bill for the pavment of the bonds be not passed. The report of the committee goes fully into the details of the case, and shows conclusiyely that the claim is not a kiust one against the state.
 The facts and circumstances upon which the Farmers National Bank &bases it's claim to the bonds mention ed may be briefly stated as follows: Prior to the twenty-fifth (25) day of April. 1889, the Farmers National Bank, of Hudson, New York, was the #owner of twenty-eight (2S) bonds of the state of Arkansas. known as real estate bank bonds, and on the said date deposited the same with the superintendent of banks of the state of New York, as security for the cir culating notes, which the bank was authorized to issue under the state law
 The report quotes Gov. Fishback as follows:
 Those holding Holford bonds knew they were holding stolen property; those holding valid bonds did not re- ceive any interest for thirty t30) years, and they were all very anxious to get the bill through. My under standing is that they all formed a pool and were all willing to pay large amounts to get the bill through. Af- Ter they had formed the pool they Aught man who would manoeuver and do the bribing necessary for it; that man was Wm. P. Denkla.
 T proved by Louis Fletcher that he admitted to him that he received 52 percent of the S1,o70.000 Holford bonds, for hls and his associates shares of the bonds l did not find how many railroad aid bonds they got We proved that Denkla did the brib- ing mainly to get the bill through lie was at once the agent of the bond holders and the agent of the boodlers here at Little Rock
 Governor Fishbaek is the best au thority we kIow of on this subject, as ne made a thorough investigation of this Reconstruction Bond Fraud, and succeeded in having his famous flshback amendment to the state con Ftltutlon, repudiating these Holford ponds, adopted by the people,
 Denkla or Caper. or both, scattered me Holford bonds over the country ana the Farmers National Bank, of Hudson, N, Y., now holds fifty ot
 hem. Their explanation or theory Hs to how they got fifty Holford bonds

Deputy Sheriff Douglass took Mat Bey
to Reno Thursday afternoon and placed
him in the Hospital for Mental Diseases.
Some weeks ago Mr.. Bey sold his teams
to parties in Silver City, and since that

he was an object of charity and was in
the way. He attempted suicide by drown
ing a couple of weeks ago but was res
cued. He is not dangerous, but has a
suicidal mania, and had to be watched
continually. Drs. Manson and McDon-
aid examined him Thursday and pro-
nounced him a fit subject for the Hospi-

may soon be cured of his ailment.-Day-

SOUTH JERSEYMAN HERE
So Anxious to Show What He
Knows That He Argues
After Decision.

The appearance of j. J. Crandall of
Camden, "the lighting Democrat from
South Jersey, as counsel in case in the
Supreme Court this morning, was a signal
for all the lawyers in the vicinity to
gather in Justice Collins's court room.
Fun was anticipated and none was disap-
pointed. At the conclusion of wordy
encounter largely participated in by the
South Jersey orator, he remarked to
Lawyer C. DER. Leonard, who congratu-
lated him on the court deciding in his
favor on a point raised:-
you people up here think you know
all the law but we must come up from
Camden once in a while to show you how
much we know down there"
The case in which Lawyer Crandall ap-
peared as associate counsel with 8. Stan
zer Iszard OF Camden, was one in which.
Assistant Prosecutor George T. Vickers,
as assignee was the nominal plaintiff, and
the Electrozone Commercial Company the
defendant. The action was one over pat
ent rights and William G. Corbin repre-
sentiff the plaintiff.
Lawyer Corbin wanted to move the case
for trial, but Lawyer Crandall objected on
the grounds that 1t could not be forced
pGnulnS d VIII OIL error ColetiiiSo W tAAS
defendants to the overruling of the de-
fendant's demurrer.
The South Jerseyman was both To-
quacious and volubie and even the Court 3
gavel could not suppress him when he
was in the midst of argument in his
contention. Finally Justice Collins decid-
ed that Lawyer Crandalfs point was a
good one and the Fighting Democrat
then proceeded to argue on another point
which he had in reserve bearing on the
same question.
81 have already decided in favor of you
on one point. Do you want to raise an
other for similar decision? asked the
Court.
mo, L guess onell do,'' replied Lawyer
CrandaH after a little meditation, amid
the laughter of the assembled lawyers.
Afterwards the South Jerseyman told a
number of persons that he was the only
man who, in 1885, dared to make a speech
for Bryan in front of the Hudson County
Court House. But I didn't repeat it
last year in view of the result of my
first attempt in this county" he hastened
to assure his listeners.
When introduced to Mayor John Zeller
of Gutenberg. Lawyer Crandall remark
ed Gutenberg? Yes, I know the place.
It's famous over the whole State for its

FAGAN FIGHTS cRANELLI.
Says Health Inspector Didn't Full
I'll His Oufias.

Charges of neglect of duty were pre-
ferred against former Health Inspector
Anthony Granelli by Mayor Fagan at the
meeting of the Hoboken Police Commits
sioners yesterday afternoon. Granelli
who is a member of the Police Depart
ment, was ordered back to patrol duty
last week, Roundsman David Fall being
detailed to act in his stead as Health
Inspector. The Mayor, in his commune
cation to the Board, said that the charge
was made because Granelli had become
careless in the discharge of the duties
of his office. The Mayor added that
Granelli had failed to report for duty as
ordered and asked that he be cited to ap-
pear before the Board at its next meeting
and explain his disobedience.
Granelli will be summoned before the
Board in compliance with the Mayors
request. The charges are the outcome of
political animus, he says.

MR. KELLER GOES TO CHURCH.
His Parishioners Express Their
Sympathy for Him.

Rev John Keller, of Arlington, who
was shot by Thomas G. Barker on Sun
day morning, February 8, attended ser
vice Sunday morning at the Trinity
Episcopal Mission, of which he is the rec
tor. 1t was his first appearance in the
church at any service since the shooting
took place and he was warmly congratu-
lated by his parishioners, many of whom
had not seen him since he was disabled.
Several members of the congregation
accompanied the rector from his home on
Beech street to the church, on Kearny
avenue 1t was not generally known that
he was to be present at the services,
and even some of those who were in his
company were not aware of his intention
until a short time before the hour for
morning worship, when they were re-
quested to be at his home to escort him
to the mission.
On his arrival he was led up the aisle
and to seat inside the chancel rail,
which he occupied until the devotions
were over. Rev. August Fliedner, who
has been acting as rector of the church
since the time of the shooting, conducted
the services, which were not unusual.
Rev. Mr.. Fliedner preached, but made no
reference to Mr.. Keller's presence.
AS Rev. Mr.. Keller was leaving the
church the men, women and children of
the mission crowded about him and shook
him by the hand. He was deeply affected,
and, while he could not see his friends,
he knew several of them by their voices.
His trip from the church back to his
home was a pleasant one, for a large
number of the congregation attended him,
and continued to show their gratifation
at having him with them once more.
At the home of Mr.. Keller it was said
that he felt very well after his visit to
the church. His left eye is still giving
him pain, however.
Very few of the residents of Arlington
outside of the members of Mr.. Keller
church knew that he had attended service
until it was all over and he had reached
his home again
