 of Market.
 New York. July 24James R. Keene tonight in his apartments in the Wal dorf-Astoria talked of the failure of his son-in-laW's firm. a My own fortune and the fortune of my family is not impaired, ]" said MT. Keene. T lost money to-day, for was the largest unsecured creditor of the firm of Talbot J. Taylor. but, as I said, my fortune is safe
 How about the report that you very recently settled s5.o00,0Oo on your wife, $5.OOO.o00 on your son and s5,OoO,0OO on your daughter?' MT. Keene was asked. T wont say anything about the amounts. replied Mr Keene T guess I will lose about $1,50o, ,Oo0 through the failure, he continued. T had no connection with the firm, ex- cept that I did business there. I would have seen them through this thing, but the market was so gloomy and discour- aging. with not a bright outlook any where, that I began to think about my self and decided it would be best not to put up any more money for the firm.
 What are the liabilities of your son. in-laW's firm ?" was asked.
 T don't know" MT. Keene answered. q have not learned any of the details yet. All I know is that I am the larg- est creditor. Out side of myself the principal creditors are banks, and they will lose nothing. because there was no loan with any bank without a 20 per cent. margin of securities. Some of the banks wanted fresh margins, but will not say anything about that--I will not put up any more money. F T never saw such a hopeless market as we have. When you can get such stocks as United States Steel preferred for 6S is there any wonder that refuse to help my son-in-laW out any longer?"

Lava Flow Increases Mag niflcent Spec.

 Rome, July 24.-Mount vesuvius, whieh for some time has been moder- ately eruptiye, has grown more active during the last few days. Lava from the crater has overfowed to the extent Of 75o feet. but is confined to the up per part of the mountain as it cools and it's movement grows slower as it flows down. It leaves the crater in one stream about 25o feet wide and then divides into small rivulets. At night the eruption presents a magnificent spec tacle as burning showers are emitted which rise to great height. The au- thorities say there is no danger and that the eruption is uninlportant.

BANK DEFAULTER CAUGHT.
MISSING SOUTHPORT CASHIER
 ARRESTED IN PANAMA.
Oliver T. Sherwood Who Took About a Quarter of a Million Dollars Of the Funds of the Southport National Bauik Was Posing as Doctor in cotnmh,. r,,.

Funds of the Southport National
 Bauk Was Posing as n Doctor in Colombian City.
 Panama, Colombia. July 24.-Oliver T. Sherwood, the missing cashier of the Southport, Conn.,. National bank. who is charged with embedding the funds of that institution, was arrested here this morning upon the request of Unit ed States Consul Gudger. He has agred to return to the United States on the ship sailing next Tuesday and will be accompanied by the detectives who discovered him here. Had he re- fused to return it would have been necessary to send extradition papers to have been obliged to remain here in q very uncomfortable jail for about four months.
 From Canada Sherwood went to Bocas del Toro. Colombia. where he posed as a physician and here also he had patients under treatment. His of- flee was in the most central part of the city.
 The absence of Oliver T. Sherwood from the Southport National bank one morning about six weeks ago led to an examination of the missing cashiers books and the result was startling in the extreme. By cleyerly manipulating the figures on the books Sherwood had been able to get away with an amount of money. without detection, that crip- pied the bank so badly that it became necessary for the bank officials to close the doors of the bank and to ask for the appointment of receiver.
 When Sherwood disappeared it was said that $45, 000 was the amount of the defalcation, but the longer the expert accountants worked on the cashiers books the largersth amount of missing money grew and very conservative estimate now places the loss to the bank at a quarter of million of dol lars.
 One os Sherwood's schemes was to sell town bonds which had already been redeemed. The exact amount of money which Ie stole may never be known. Numerous deDositors oe the bank can show on their bank books credit for various amounts of money supposed to have been deposited in the bank while. the books of the bank fail to show the receipt os any such. amount.
 Sherwood. according to his friends and relatives, had been leading dou- .bie life for some time past and this led him on to become defaulter.

fields In every section OF the valley.
I0ur sales for the past two years have
In nearly every instance been the
Double Disc. and not a purchaser in
the group that could be induced to go
back TO the other sorts.
The discs are made Of hard straight
steel. and revolve on a chilled axle
the hubs are fitted with brass caps,
making them entirely dust proof. The
discs open furrow about an inch
wide. and the grain is spread In two
rows, instead OF a single row. thus
giving each kernel a chance to stool
out. The cleaners-the most dificult
and necessary part of the invention
for the practical working of the disc
are balanced on hinges and are self
adjusting.

discs will work In mud, and in any
kind OF jand where horses can be
driven TO SOW grain. They will work

Gen. Miles Retired.

After long and honorable career
in the army of the United States,
General Miles retired from active SER
vice last Saturday, having reached the
age limit, sixty -four years. In bid
ding farewell to the army, of which
he has been the general command
ing" for eight years, Gen. Miles issued
patriotic and eloquent valedictory
which was distributed as general
order 1862.
Immediately on the retirement of
Gen. Miles the President appointed
Gen. s. B. NJ. Young to succeed him.
This appointment was the occasion of
sincere disappointment to many OF
Gen. Miles friends, who had hoped
that he might have the honor of being
the last general commanding"
that position going out of existence
on August Is, when the new law
providing for general staff goes into
effect.
Gen. Young will become chief of
staff, position analogous to that OF
general commanding, and win doubt
less occupy tina. position until he re-
tires next January, when he will be
succeeded by Gen. Chaffee.
