A. W. Suaw, widely known as "Josh
Billing," dlid Wednesday in Monterey,
CnlfOrnlii, of apoplexy.
The btautle of lttltratloni are well Il
lustrated In what baa been known as the
"Joiiea County Calf Caso" In a Western
State. A f aimer had four calves valued
at $50 Ktolen from htm. A neighbor
bought them, inuocently as he has al
ways claimed, and was prosecuted for
theft by an association of farmers. In
return" he brought suit against them for
malicious pioe:utlo!i, and so tho liti
gation has gone on. He has finally re
covered 7,000, and the total expenses
of tho suit are estimated at $C0,000.
Several prosperous fanners have been
ruined, and aDy amount of ill-feeling has
been engendered, but the lawyers have
,bn uotag-well.
Geokqe Cbawfokd, a depositor in
the West Side Bank, New York, drew
his check on April 20, 1882, uprn the
bank, dating It April 22, left it injils
afo, told his book-keeper that he would
bfl 'absent, and that if he did not return
by noon of the ld to'take the check
and endorse it, procure tho money upon
It fromhjfhaj&;.and hand the money
to the foreman. On the 21 st tho book
keeper altered the date of tho check
from the 22d to .the 21st, procured the
money, and absconded. Crawford sued
the bank to recover his deposit. The
caso was argued in the Court of Appeals
for the bank by John C.' Shaw, and for
Crawford by I). U. Tortcr. The Court
held that the alteration of the date of
the check was a forgery which made the
check void, and that the bank could not
charge the payment upon Crawford,and
gave htm judgment, for the amount of
his deposit.

The election in Ohio Tuesday Involved
Governor, Lieutenant Governor, State
Treasurer, Attorney General, two Su
preme Judges, one rneru.b.srSf. .at.o
Board of Public Works, and the Legis
lature that will elect the successor to
John Sherman In the United States
Senate,-.-A. vote was also taken upon
four amendments to the Constitution of
the State,, .three. of which relate to
changing the "State election from Octo
ber to November and one to changing
the terra office for township trustees.
The returns show the election of the
republican State ticket by about 18.0C0
majority and the election of a Kepubll
eau Legislature. As Ohio usually gives
a Republican majority, there was no es
pecial reason whyaho should not chooso
a Republican this year. The Prohibi
tion" question had given the hope to
tome Democrats that their candidate
might win; but it seems that there are
'Prohibition Democrats as well as Pro
hibition Republicans, and the Pi dilu
tion nominee drew from both parties.
Ferdwajtd Ward has made a long
statement, filling ten columns of the
New York Herald, pretending to give
tho full details of his great swindle.
Much that he says will not be believed
unless corroborated by other evidence,
much is relatively unimportant. Uo
shows that all tho Grants received larse
"profits" according to tho accounts,
meaning that the public shall
understand that they shared equally
with him In the results of his swindling
operations. But the "profits," It ap
pers on closer investigation, wero rein
vested In tho "business" and wero all
finally lost together with the original
capital. The same was true of several
investors. But there are certain others
to whom money and securities In largo
amounts were transferred by Ward after
the failure, and who drew out large
sums of money called "prollts" agsre
gatlng millions In all. This part of tho
history of the firm btill needs explana
tion. Whj did Ward treat those inves
tors so differently from the others, and
where has the money gone?
18 BUSINESS IMrROVINOI
Chicago iVcws: The business situation
is the subject of a good deal of discus
sion by press and people. But, while
there Is a steady although slow Im
provement Indicated In almost every
branch of trade and Industry, there are
many who can seo nothing encouraging
in the outlook. It Is tiuo our Import
trade has fallen off about 1 1 per cent,
and that our exports have not Increased,
yet the balance of trade Is largi ly Incur
favor. Wo are selling more abroad
than wo buy, and hence the tendency of
money Is to the country and not out of
It. This U a healthy condition, for no
man or country ever failed when he was
selling more than he bought. There
have been three heavy failures the last
week, but the financial papers tell us
that they were all on the "bear" side of
the market, which shows that the ten
dency of prices is upward. At Ihe east
there is a manifest quickening lu the
wool market, and in the great wool
market of the country, Boston, the sales
so far this jeat have been 37,000,000
pounds in excess of the corresponding
period of 16S4. The fall trade in dry
goods has been satisfactory In New
York, Chicago and Boston, and mer
chants report payments to be prompt
and collections easier than last year.
Iron Is steady, with a decided upward
tendency In prices, and the same may
be said of coal. Farm produce is low,
especially wheat, but that Is now con
siderably above the minimum price for
last year. Its cheapness ha,, however,
had one effect that will tend to Increase
its price. Low wheat has made cheap
flour, and the result has been that it
has been more largely consumed, so that
the stock on hand has been reduced
within the last quarter at least 33 kt
cent. Such are tome of the surface in
dlcatlons, but beneath them Is another
that Is Important, which may be found
In the Increased earnings of our rail
roads, especially in the northwest.
This show, that farmers are buying
goods, as well as selling their products.
There has also been a flow of money
from commercial 'centers to the country
to move the crop!, which will f'nd Its,
way back slowly. On the whole, tvo

HELL OVTE BLOWN UP.
Tho explosion of nearly 300,000
pounds of dynamite In the subterranean
galleries of Flood Hock, licit Gate, took
place on the 10th Inst., according to the
prearranged plan, and was as fat as is
known a complnto success. Sis million
cubic feet of rock and a mighty column
of water were lifted by the Irresistible
force of the explosive to a height of two
hundred feet, to drop ngaln Into the bed
of la,t river a shattered and fragmen
tary mass. Plow much more work will
bo necessary and how much time will
bo required to rcmovo tho debris of
broken rock Is a matter of conjecture.
That It will bo the work of years Is
probable. Tho removal of the debris of
Satut day's explosion will not complete
tho work of clearing and straicbtcning

very expensive one. over three and a

that another million and a half will be
necessary for tho comnletlon of tho
work, making the total cost upwards of

FROM WASHINGTON
From our Regular Correspondent.
Wasuin-oton. D. C Oct. 10. '85.
The matter of the reorganization cf
tho House of Renrcscntatlvcs Is being
much talked of just now. The convic
tion that unnecessary delay In legisla
tion must not be pre ented is finding ex
pression In various plans for advancing
business this coming session, so as not
to havo n repetition of the last. Most
of the plans hayo in view the. curtail
ment of the power of the npprorrlatlcn
committee The piorositlon lodMdo
the appropriations bills among the vari
ous committees Interested in them is
not likely to be adopted. Besides, the
tendency toward extravagance such a
plan would u? likely to have.lt is be
lieved that it would tend still further to
retard business. Many of Mr. Carlisle's
supporters would like to see Mr. Ran
dall degraded from his position at the
head of the appropriations committee.
It is urged that as the reconstruction of
tho American navy Is to be one of the
most important works of this adminis
tration, the naval affairs committee, of
which Mr. Cox was the head, will I e
one of the most Important this session,
and that Mr. Randall's friends would
have no cause to ccmplain If he were i ut
at the head of this committee. To make
the position still more comfortablo for
him, they would be willing to give him
the naval appropriation bill also, so as
to dUco the whole thins in his hands.
There Is a desire on the part of soma to
get Mr. Holman, the great objector, off
the appropriations committee, ito. 'Ihe
place selected for him Is the chairman
ship of the Indian affairs committee.
This wa, last session one of the most
Insignificant of all tho committees of
the House, lt Is said, however, that
during the coming winter the Indian
problem will demand the serious atten
tion of Congress, nnd that Mr. Holman,
having traveled all through the reserva
tions at the head of the Indian Investi
gating ccmmittic, and being possessed
of a wonderlul amount of Information
on the subject, should be assigned the
task of solving tho question, iris pr
poscd, too, givo him the Indian appro
priation bill in connection with the
coimnlttie.

But the Piesldent Is by no means a uo-man-hater.

or many months the question has
cc" "sked by the public anil the press,
"Why ha., not Ferdinand Ward been
punished!!" Fish Is wearing convict's
su''i dozens of other notorious rascals

' remains unwhlppcd of justice,
Why Is this? What mysterious power
dot's Uic wheels of justice? that there
Is something behind not yet fully known,
Is apparent to every one. Tho only
question Is, "What Is It?" For weeks
past there have been mysterious rumors
and whisperings concerning almost five
million, of the funds supposed to have
been stolen by Ward. Mr. Ward's llr
ing does not account for It; none of the
sequestered property remains In sight;
Mr. Ward's brother Is said to havo told
a reporter that tho bills of Ferdinand
Ward at Ludlow Street Jail wero footed
by his unfortunate family. A great cry
has been made at Mr. Ward's stylo of
(lying. Why should he not live well?
Is. it not a principle of our jurisprudence
that every man shall be esteemed Inno
cent until his guMt Is proven? And what
hayo wo proved against Ferdinand
Ward? He niay, have his piano, his but
tonhole, bouquet, Ids .ohampagno" and
bis .pates; his Jolly good .fellows around
hlni, an.d. an occasional .run" to .the
Theatre or tho Opera Bpuffe, and .If his
friends can pay Jhe. shot, allrlgit. " .
iiut In the dlsposjllo.n of tho fivo. mil
lions, Mr. Grace, t'lio' ilayor of New-
York, is said to havo profited by the
swindles of this notorious rascal to tho
tune of many thousands of dollars. Mr.
Grace was Intimate with' James D, i'lsh,
tho thieving president' of the Marine
Bank; he was friendly with Ferdinand
Ward; he was a director In tho defunct
Marine Bank, by which the city lost a
million. The scandal caused by this
discovery Is deep-seated and bitter,. and
the public awaits with anxiety tho
promised revelation of Mr. Want, which
Is to give .us the disposition of the mis
sing five millions. It is the hope of
every man who has the honor of our
city at heart, that Mayor Grace may be
able to show that whatever transactions
ho may have bad with Ward were strict
ly mercantile, and within the stralghtcst
lino of honor. But $147,000 is a large
sum to be made lu a few months by any
honest speculation. We have been
running loose in our moral notions of
late years; If a man got moneey In any
way, without cracking a safe, or picking
a pocket, ho was considered smart; he
might sell a stock, or a piece of property
to his neighbor, and represent it to be
worth ten times its value, and if his
neighbor had the misfortune to believe
liim, he was a lool. and tho other was
considered smart because he lied to
Ii I in. This mlserablo rule Is prevailing
here to-day. You see it in the streets,
in the stores, in the banks, and on
'change. Tho whole drift of business
seems to bo to corner somebody, or get
the better of somebody, and to rob them
of their money, by giving thcin the very
smallest equiialent. Mayor Grace has
been a very success! ill business man.
The creator part of his life has been
spent in South America, where he laid
the foundation of his fortune. This is
the second time he has been elected
Mayor of New York, and he is more in
dependent in his ollice than tho Presi
dent of the United Slates Is in bis.
New York has had many violent revo
lutions. In the last twenty years, she
has seen three Judges of the Supreme
Court dragged from their exalted seats,
and with the brand of digrace upon
their foreheads, driven from public life.
She has seen her Comptroller, branded
as a felon, a llylugfugltive fro:n justice.
She lias seen her Treasurer in banish
ment, and her Mayor a disgraced exile;
and last of all jhe has seen the man
who tat for years as an autocrat, squan
dering her hard-earned millions, dying
In prison with a convict's stripes upon
his back.
We hope that the period of our worst
disgrace is passed, and that the threat
of Mr. Ward against our Mayor Is only
the effoit of a blind Samson to engulf
his friends and enemies alike In the
ruins of the building he pulls down.
But If It shall appear that Mr. Grace or
any other public olllcer has been Impli
cated with this rascal in his robbery of
the people, 1 sincerely hopo that such
au example will be made of him as will
make the recurrence of such an offence
impossible for many years to come.
T he evil effect of a bad example was
never more powerfully illustrated than
In the events of tho past week. It Is
just a year ago since a brute In Chicago
shot and killed a woman whom he pro
fessed to loc, then making the only
reparation ho could mako to society by
blow ing his own brains out. Since that
evil day thirty cases, exactly similar,
have occurred In different parts of the
United States, ten of them occurring lu
New York, Brooklyn, and Jersey City.
Two of these cases hae occurred with
in Ihe last week, tho most startling and
atrocious being that of a woman past
middle life and a boy scarcely out ot Ills
teens. The story seems more like the
legend of a madhouse than a' history of
etery day life. The husband hears tliO
story of his ruin from the lips of his
faithless wife, and then condones her
offencv, and take, her betrayer beneath
Id, roof. When he finds her mad In
fatuation for this boy who was young
enough to bo her son could not be
bioken, he offers to tend the erring pair
to Germany, Then they resolve to die
tojeiher; it Is no sudden Impulse;
ceryihlng Is arranged like clock-work;
the wife sits down and calmly writes to
her husband that he will find her body
In Central Park at such a time, and,
true to her appointment, the body lies
at the designated place at the exact
hour! Hardly anything in history or fic
tion can equal this latest horror. New
Vprk has had to suffer in reputation for
this crlincand vet not one of the parties
lived In New York; all of them were
foreigners, and lUed In other States.
Our sister city, Brooklyn, Is much ex
ercised by an attack on her fair fame by
one of the lay preachers who attended
the iccent convention In that city. Ris
ing in his place en the last day of the
convention, he denounced it as the
wickedest city In the United States, or
the world. It would be Interesting to
know where this person got his Inform
ation, for people who have been living
there all their lives failed to make the
discovery which this blatant donkey
says he discovered while he was In
Brooklyn, though he was supposed to
be engaged In the lay preachers' con
vention every moment he was In the
city of churches. 1 have Known Brook

l tie mcrtal sickness of Cardinal Mc
Closkey ha., filled many heaits with
crlcf. outside the Catholic Church.
Cardinal McCloskey while probably not
as great a man as his predecessor, Bish
op Hughes, has had the good fortune to
rule his Church In leas troublous times,
and to leap the harvest which that great
prelate sowed. The Catholic Church
has been fortunate in its blshons and
archbishops, and the selection of Arch-
insnop iucmoskey as Cardinal was most
roriunate, and to flew York, at least,
gave the most unqualified satisfaction.
His singularly pure character, his
gentleness and charity, havo earned
him the love and respect of thousands
wno did not believe In his religion and
had never set foot Inside his church.
Few men are as ready to die a, he; he
can look back to a long and useful life,
rich with colden deeds of charltv. In
tho bitter religious strifes which have
rent tins city, no man, Jew or Gentile,
but mentioned Cardinal McCloskev's
name with love and reverence. No
doubt, the aged priest longs to go, for
already he can hear his Master's Voice
saying " ell done, thou good and faith
ful servant."
The sentencing of Ellen Peck,, the
notorious confidence woman, closes for
tho time being an eventful and stormy
life Sbo never looked for her dupes
among the weak and the foolish, but
she tackled the smartest business men
and robbed them every time; she never
'flew at- small game. She got $30,-000

Mason and Hamlin Pianos.
Mason & Hamlin bid fair to become
as famous for tlwir upright pianos as
they have long been for their vvorld-renow-ucd
cabinet organs. The dis
tinguishing features about 'the "Mason

improvement in the method of holding
the strings of the plano.which originated
In their own factory. Tho strings are
secured by metallic fastenings, Instead
of by the friction of pins set In wood, as
has been the case, and the advantages
resulting aro numerous and highly Im
poitant. Among them arethefollowing:
Wonderful beauty and musical quality
of tone; far less liability of getting out
of tune; greater reliability In trying
climates; and greater solidity of con
struction and durability. Mason &
Hamlin have made 150.000
They can baldly exj ect lo make as
many pianos, but they will doubtless be
called upon for a very large number.
Indeed, their piano department I, nn-

Company Is behind orders. So great is
the demand that the Company Is now
arranging for a large additional factory
building.
A Decision Affirmed.
In tho Supreme Court of Pennsyl

ceased, of Allentown, against C. E.
Foster anl Ilonry Beineman, of East
Miuch Chunk, a decision was rendered
on Mon lay last in favor of the plaintiff.
It will be remembered that this case
was one In which Mr. Runk sued for the
payment of royalty on brick clay on
lands situated at Klttatlny, leased to
Wm. Tombler, who assigned the lease
to Foster and Belneman. The payment
of a royalty to Runk was refused, and
suit was tried before Judge Meyers In
Mauch Chunk In June, 18SJ, and the
decision was In favor of Runk, giving
him about $1000 in royalty. Foster and
Belneman took a writ of error to the
Supreme Court, and that Court affirmed
the decision of Judge Meyers. Freyman
and Klefcr were counsel for Runk, and
Fred. Bertolette, Esq.. for Foster and
Belneman.
