FAILS FOR $7,OoO,OOO.
Philadelphia Trust Company comPeIIee
 to Close Its Doors.


 Philadelphia. Aug. 20. - Unable tc meet it's obligations because of the large amount of money loaned on in sufficient security by it's president. Frank K. Ripple now dead. the Real Estate Trust company of Philadelphia which up to last Saturday was con sidered one of the strongest financial institutions in the city, has closed its doors. Soon after the doors closed George H. Earle, Jr., q prominent financier. was appointed receiver.
 The liabilities of the company arc placed at $10,000,000, against which there are quick assets of about S3,j00,- 900 and collateral of about $S.000,0G0. which is not negotiable or readily con vertible. This doubtful collateral is held mostly as security for loans of about $5.3OO000 made to Adolf Segal. a promoter of this city.
 The man responsible for the failure was Frank K. Nipple, one of Philadel. phia's best known citizens, who died suddenly last Friday morning in his country home at Bryn Mawr, neal nere, under circumstances WHICH Ill tne light of late developments lead to the suspicion that he may have committed suicide.
 Persistent rumors that President Nipple committed suicide seemed to he borne out when it was stated that he took his life at his home last Frida! morning. MT. Nipple is said to have taken a dose of laudanum with sui, cidal intent. While still conscious he Is said to have filled his bath tub with water and later was found apparently drowned.
 MT. Nipples family decline to make any statement on the subject, and the physicians interested in the case de cline to be interviewed regarding the suicide theory.

 "A, dreadful calamity has befallen our sister republic of Chile in the de- struction by earthquake of Valparaiso and other localities. We of this nation at this moment see the city of San Francisco struggling upward from the ruins in which like catastrophe over whelmed her last spring. We keep keenly in mind the thankful apprecia- tion we then felt for the way in which the people of Europe, Asia and both Americas came forward with generous offers of assistance.
 "In this time of woe of our sister re- public I ask that our people out Of their abundance now strive to do to another as others last spring did to us.
 "The National Red Cross association has already taken measures to collect any subscriptions that may be offered for this purpose, and trust that there will be a generous response"

 quakes and Fire.
LOSS REACHES $5O,OOO,OOO.
Houses Destroyed In All Sections of Chilean City = One Quarter Com pIeteIy Ruined-Populace Compelled to Sleep Outdoors - Two Hundred Thousand In Colossal Encampment.

nousand Tn CoIosSal Encampment'
 Valparaiso, Chile, Aug. 29.-The num- Der of deaths caused by the earthquake shocks and fires that have devastated this city is conservatively estimated at 2,0OO. The property loss will, it is be- ieved, reach $50,000,000.
 There Is no danger of famine as food is reaching the city in sufficient quanti- ties. Many are suffering from lack of adequate shelter.
 From the Plaza de la Victoria as far as the plaza in the section called Las Delicias four-fifths of the houses were completely destroyed by the earth quake, and the remaining fifth are bad ly damaged. From the Plaza de la Victoria down to the custom house only about one-third of the houses sus- tained damage. The banks oE'the city and the customs warehouses were not hurt. With the exception of Espiritu Santo all the churches in the city were destroyed, as were the hospitals and the theaters.
 The first shock lasted four and a half minutes and the second two minutes Most of the houses were thrown down by the second shock.
 Estimates of the damage range from $25,0OO,OOO to $5O,OOO,OOO. The Amen tdral quarter has been absolutely de- stroyed.
 The entire population of Valparaiso is sleeping in the open air. Tents are scarce. Including the suburb of Vina del Mar, some 100000 people form a colossal encampment.
 Hundreds of corpses are carried daily to the Playa Ancha cemetery.
 Some twenty robbers and two or three incendiaries have. been shot and their bodies exposed bearing the words, For a robber."

Insurgent Won't Fight.

Secretary of the Treasury Font Ster- ling said that the government forces have been unable to induce Pino Guer- ra, the insurgent leader in the province of Pinar del Rio. to engage in battle.
 Guerra, on the other hand, tele graphed to this city that he had 2.000 men under him, that he had plenty of arms and ammunition and that he will not lay down his arms until the last presidential election in Cuba is an nulled. The rebel leader scoffed at the offer of amnesty and also denied that he was avoiding a fight with the gov ernment troops.
 In the offer of amnesty issued by di. rection of President Palma all insur- gents who lay. down their arms and promise to behave in the future will be permitted to return home peacefully and freedom from mOlestation hereaft- CT for their part in the insurrection is guaranteed.

ProcIsmation's Effect.

The proclamation seemed to have al- most immediate effect. It was report ed that many insurgents in the prov. ince of Havana had returned quietly tn their homes.
 President Palma gave out long statement in which he said that the insurrection was without ideals and with no definite programme and that , there was no justification for the move ment

GENERAL QUENTIN BANDERA. defeated General Guzman's band of insurgents, killing seventeen of them, near Cienfuegos.
 The victory of Colonel Valle elimi. mates the danger of an attack on Glen. fuegos by the insurgents, who are said to have scattered. The government force lost only one man killed, and the defeat of Guzman has materially weak. ened the rebel forces. The indications are that the insurrection Is In a shaky condition and may collapse at any time.
 The killing of the insurrectionary leader. General Quentin Bandera. in an engagement between rural guards and q band of his followers is regard. ed as dealing the insurrection heavy blow.

Public Opinion Varies.

Public opinion appears to vary, ac- cording to locality, from enthusiastic adherence to the government to open rebellion In this city the general atti tude is one of loyalty.
 It is alleged that the insurrectlon is the result of big conspiracy planned by General Jose Miguel Gomez, late Liberal candidate for the presidency and former governor of Santa Clara province. Gomez has been arrested.
 President Palma's call asks for vol unteers to compose national militia of infantry and cavalry and to cooper ate with the government forces under the command of the chief of the rural guards The pay of chiefs of battal- ions and regiments will be S200 a month, adjutants S125 a month, cap tains S100 q month and soldiers $2 a day. All volunteers disabled will re- ceive full pay during the period of dis turbance, and in the event of their death the money will go to their de- pendent heirs.

THAT ENDED THE COMPETITION
Elders Assertion Left No Chance fol
Any Of the Company.

STAFFORD, VT, way back in the
fifties, had but one hotel. The land
lords name was Hazelton. The men
of the village gathered at the hotel
after their days work to smoke and
tell stories. Complaint had been made
by many Of the villagers in regard to
a horse running loose in the road, no
one knowing to whom It belonged.
One Saturday night, the usual crowd
having assembled in the bar-room, the
stray horse was the topic of the con.
versation. II was agreed that the one
telling the biggest lie should have the
horse, and if the owner ever turned up
the rest of the crowd would settle
for It,
At that moment the door opened,
and Elder Cross. "the MINISTER" came
In, as was his custom. Hazelton said :
Hold on, boys; perhaps the elder will
join u.s." What is it," said the elder.
The landlord explained. and asked II
he would join in The elder looked
shocked, hesitatedia moment, and re-
piled: 81 never tell a lie." The land
lord sprang to his feet and exclaimed

lows Saw His Chance.
Old residents of Sale remember
Jerry Fellows, an odd character, who
lived forty years ago in a small one
story building which overhung the
mill pond near the present site of the
Boston & Main freight yard. He was
an !nveterate trader. and was never
known to get the small end of bar
gain.
Once, in early springtime, when
onion seed was very scarce and worth
$40 pound, Jerry purchased a large
quantity of certain brand Of gun
powder which looked exactly like
onion seed. Putting this up in small
packages, he took up his stand in the
market place on Saturday night, and
soon disposed of his entire stock at
fancy prices to the mers, who, ac-
cording to custom, had come to mar
ket with their produce.
Later in the year, when his custom
ers came to him with complaints that
the seed lad failed to come up, Jerry
would explain that the ground was too
wet or too dry, and to prove that the
seed was not az fault would invite
them to inspect his own little onion

the same seed with excellent results
