FAST REDUCING
BANKS INDEBTEDNESS.

The Indebtedness of the late Canon
Savings Bank has been reduced to
approximately $4,000, and before the
end of the current week its liabilities
will be less than $4,000. At the time
of the banks failure its Indebtedness
was $49,S1S. and with the accrued
interest, was considerably in excess
of $4,000. The committee in charge
of affairs say that there is property
enough in sight to pay every cent Of
the banks liabilities.

ANNUAL FcUIT BANQUET
OF EPwORTH LEAGUE.

Few. IL any. social events in the
history OF the Epworth League in
this city have been more enjoyable
than the third annual fruit banquet
of the organization, held In the dining
room OF the First NJ. E. church, Tues
day night Elaborate arrangements
had been made for the affair and its
realization more than redeemed the
most sanguine and optimistic antic-
lpations OF its promoters. The annual
fruit banquet OF the local League has
become one OF the red letter events
In Its chronicles, but never before has
a celebration of the occasion been as
enjoyable as the one OF Tuesday night
Covers were laid for two hundred
guests and every place was occupied
Prof. Eichhorn. principal of the high
school, ofiiciated as toastmaster and
some excellent post prandial addresses
were made. Prof Erwin was very
happy in his remarks in consequence
Iof which constraint and ultra conven-
tionality were laid aside. rendering
the affair more than ordinarily pleas
ant and gratifying.
Previous to the banquet a delights
full musical and literary program was
rendered in the Epworth League room,
features OF which were piano duet
by Miss Acker and Miss Armitage, a
vocal solo by Chas. Van Patton, read
Ing by Mrs. w. c. Morrison, piano solo
by Miss Katherine Coolbaugh. vocal
duet by Mrs. l.. d. Eichhorn and Miss
Edna Allison. The decorations we're
unusually attractive and were sugges-
tive of the autumnal season. Depend
ing from the ceiling and walls were
apple and plum boughs laden with
fruit. while In the corners and angles
|of the room and staircase were clus-
ters of corn stalks. with here and there
Ia pumpkin protuding to carry out the
rustic idea. In passing from the en-
tertainment hall to the dining room
the guests fled through an avenue OF
rustling corn. behind which yellow
pumpkins cleaned. some Of them cut
into fantastic shapes or illuminated
within BY candles or electric lights.

cided to return to town by way of the
skyline drive. 1t was comparative
ly small matter to push their wheels
to the summit of the ridge from which
point they had a delightful ride along
it's crest for couple of miles.
In coming down they were careless
OF the dangers of such Il trip and just
before reaching the last turn in the
road Payne looked back over his
shoulder to see what had become of
his companions. Before he was aware
of it he was carried over tie embank
ment and dashed against the rocks
below with terrific force, his skull
being fractured, his nose broken and
his face fearfully lacerated as the re-
suit of his contact with a huge boulder.
He was rendered unconscious for a
few minutes, but in short time was
assisted TO his feet by his companion
and the two boys made their way to
the nearest house in Reynolds
Heights and a physician summoned
to make an examination of the injuries
of the victim of the accident
Payne was subsequently conveyed
to his lodgings at 1903 River street
where he now lies in critical condi-
ton. He rested far better Sunday
night that was believed possible in
view of the character of his wounds
and there is reason to believe that he
will ultimately recover from the ef-
fects of his injuries. That Payne was
not instantly killed seems almost mi
raculous. i.

CHANCELLOR BUCHTEL TO
READ REPUBLICAN HOSTS

Denver. Sept 2i.-Henry Butchel
chancellor of the University of Den
yer. has been chosen TO head the Re-
publican state ticket He has accept
ed the nomination for governor and IL
is expected that his answer to the
tender will be ready for publication
to-day.
The Republican party Is 10 be con-
graduated on having such citizen
as its standard bearer. He is a great
big man In every sense. His creden-
tials as one of unusual ability as an
organizer and executive head are to
be found In the university on the hill,
an institution that owes It's present
commanding position In the education
al world to his genius. Chancellor
Butchel is Republican to the hearts
core. During all the vagaries to which
Colorado has been subject in the last
fifteen years he has held his course
true to the Republican party. He was
a Mckinley epublican and he is n
Roosevelt Republican. Indeed. he has
many qualities and characteristics in
common with the latter. He is a
doer OF things: a hard worker. one
who speaks his mind, who has con-
yictions which he is not afraid to
stand for. He is born leader of men
and who can inspire enthusiasm
among others.
Chancellor Butchel accepts the nom
nation without pledge being asked
or given. No one would dare approach
him regarding his future conduct in
the high Office. He is not politician
hunting for office, and he is not a
chronic candidate. He will treat every
citizen with equal regard. He be-
Iieves assuredly In the square deal"
He has no enemies to punish.
Henry Augustus Butchel. chosen by
the Vacancy committee to head the
Republican hosts to victory In Novem-
Der, Is known far and near as max
OF spotless character and heroic
mould. He is n native OF Ohio, where
the name OF Butchel is almost house

Sept. 80, 1s47, and Will celebrate his
bsth birthday within 10 days from the
date OF his nomination for governor of
Colorado.
People OF Ohio know him best as
the son of the founder Of Butchel uni
yersity Of Akron. He is a descendant
OF a long line OF statesmen. philoso-
piers, soldiers and empire builders
which dates back In history to the
time Of Charlemagne. HIS father. DR..

San Francisco COnAagration.
To Higgins & Robertson :

To Higgins & Robertson:
Gentlemen AT this writing, April Goth,
II may be assumed that the City OF San
Francisco is practically destroyed, and If
this is the case the Continental may have
a loss OF two and one-h half millions of dollars
(&2, 500, 000.)
The ioss-paying ability of fire Insurance
company 10 measured by its net assets that
ia, the capital and net surplus. The re-insur-
ance reserve and other liability items can.
not be used for the payment Of the San FRS
cisco losses.
The Continental's net assets are In excess
OF ten million dollars $4,000, 0O0); there:
fore, after paying even two and one-half
million dollars, our net assets will be seven
and one. half million dollars, and our gross
assets will be fifteen million dollars.
Again, the Continental operates under the
New York Safety Fund Law, and the New
York Superintendent of Insurance holds,
for the benefit Of policy holders not involved
10 Q confiagration, six hundred thousand
dollars.
