BIG FAILURE IN INDIANA.
Banks Involved In the Assignm e nj
of Thomas c. Hammond and
jerome Allen.

Greencastle, Ind, March IA SEN
sation has developed in business cir
cles here in connection with the as
signment of the individual properties
of Thomas c. Hammond and Jerome
Allen, who were until last month
president and cashier of the First ma
tional bank, having held the respect
i've offices 40 years each. The assign
ments were caused by their inability
to meet a note for $4,000 held by AZ
fred Hirt, the new president of the
bank mentioned Since the assign
ments there has developed indebted
ness aggregating S14s,ooo, of which
amount Hammond is either principal
or security, jointly or singly. The two
men were in company of five men
which lost heavily in Indianapolis
real estate 30 years ago, and all have
now been ruined financially. These
five men jointly or singly owe the
First national bank $5S,000. Banks at
Brazil, Terre Haute and indianapolis
are involved in the losses. The case
was thrown into the federal bank
ruptcy court to-day.

FOOD IN THE NAVY.
Good Quality as Necessary In Eat
ables as 1t Is In the Ammu-
milton Provided.

Good food is just as important as
good ammunition and good guns, says
Rear Admiral Kenney, chief of the
bureau of supplies and accounts, land
it is the policy of the government TO
give the men good, wholesome food
of as near uniform quality as possi-
BILE, and as tastefully and palatably
prepared as we can get cooks to pre-
pare it. We believe that with the pres
emit ration we can feed the men in
quantity and variety well enough so
that they are not compelled to use
part of their pay for additional food.
This is an important consideration, and
gives to the pay of the enlisted men
of the navy of the United States an
actual value very considerably be-
yond the enlisted mems pay of any
navy in the world
The remarks were called forth by the
recent comment of the London Daily
Express on the mess cook book issued
for the use of the United States navy.

A STRIKE SEEMS IMMINENT.
The Soft Coal Operators and Miners
in Illinois Seem Unable to
Reach an Agreement.

Springfield, ILL.,, March THE joint
scale committee of miners and opera
tors made no Roadway at the session,
Friday, and will so report to the joint
convention. The threatened strike of
the miners of Illinois, because the OPP
orators refuse to grant an increase
in northern Illinois and in William
son county, hinges on the action of
the scale committee. The members
of the committee state that there
seems to be no chance of an agree
ment, as the operators strongly OPP
pose an increase in the present scale.
The operators state that they are in
favor of adjoining sine die if the mi
ners insist on an increase. Should
this be done, the miners state, gen.
eral strike would result on April 1.

HE HAD AUTHORIZATIONS.
A Swedish Crank at the White House
who Wanted u Hundred Thou
sand Dollars.

Washington. March IA Swede,
who gave his name as u. Berg, of
Providence, r. L., tried for an hour,
Friday, to see the president. He was
urged by the White House attaches to
reduce his communication to writing.
This he endeavored to do, but failed.
One of the secret service officers in
terviewed him and found him pos
sessed of Authorizations. Berg said
that several years ago he had in
formed the United States that the
Spaniards intended to blow up one of
it's battleships, and he wanted the
president to see to it that he re-
ceived 100000 for his information.
Berg was persuaded to return to
Providence and there place his claim
in the hands of lawyer.

Few Plants Killed.

Serious apprehension has been felt
as to the effect the recent freezes
would have upon the young tomato
plants that were being nursed by
members of the Monroe County Hor-
ticultural Association. Secretary H.
b. Reynolds reports that while few
plants that were not properly pro-
tected were killed, the largest part
were in no way injured, and nearly
all the truckers are now transplant
ing to the cold frames, with indica-
tons 50 far of good success. The
plants killed were readily replaced
from the State Agricultural and
Mechanical College at light expense
and no delay. For the next season
the association will greatly enlarge
its operations and will cultivate nu-
merous other crops for early and
extensive shipments.

The Express remarked: "The Amer
lean navy for hundred years has had
the reputation of being the best fed
navy in the world"
Speaking of the condition existing in
the British navy, the Express says:
1.-THE delay in improving the food
of the British bluejacket is causing
much discomfort on the lower deck
Promises have been given by the adj
miralty which have not been fulfilled.
The food supplied to the British blue
Jacket is little better than it was 40
years ago. The assertions from our
1.-THE British) North American squad
ron and from the Pacific squadron
when lying in Esquimault are mainly
due to the contrast between the food
of the British navy and that served
out by Uncle Sam. The niggardliness
of the state prevents the bluejacket or
the stoker from sending his wages
home to his wife. A good portion of
them has to be spent on food. Under
the existing admiralty arrangements,
the food of the bluejackets in time of
peace is a scandal, and no arrange
ments have been made for supplying
fresh meat, ice and fresh vegetables to
blockading squadrons in time of war"

4 GENERAL STRIKE CALLED.
Thousands of WorI<men Ordered to
Strike Against the American
Bridge Company.

Philadelphia, March IA general
strike against the American Bridge
Co., has been called by the executive
board of the International Associa-
ton of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers. This general order includes
all construction work in the hands of
the company throughout the United
States and Canada, and involves thou
sands of men in all sections.
When the order was received by
Housesmiths and Bridgemen's Union
No. 3, of this city, strikes were called
on all operations where American
Bridge Co. iron was used in con-
struction, although the erecting con-
tracts were in the hands of general
contractors who purchased the iron
from the American Bridge Co.
Frank Buchanan, general president
of the international union, and an
other member of the executive board,
came to this city Thursday night. AS
the result of conference between
of several contractors
and the business agents Of the local
union, the men were ordered back
to work on the operations in this
city not being erected by the Ameri-
can Bridge Co..
The American Bridge Co., is said to
have large construction contracts at
many points. 1t is stated here that
in New York 1,500 men are idle, while
Pittsburg, Albany, Buffalo and ST.
Louis are said to be seriously affected.

canny Crows cause DAMAGE.

In Victoria, B. c., the owners Of
slate roofs near the water front have
been having much trouble because the
states were continually breaking and
falling from their roofs and then the
buildings were damaged by leaks. A
man was recently given the job Of
investigating and worked in vain un-
til one day he accidentally heard
something fall on roof and this ex.
planned the trouble. It seems that
great focks of crows dig clans on
the beach at low tide and when one

air with it and droppea It on to a

and a piece of slate. Then the crow
