Pakis, JIarcn 12. There came very near
being a big financial crash here to-day
through the critical embarrassment or the
Societie eies Despots des Competes Courants.
Monsieur Rouvier, Minister of Finance,
consulted last night with directors of the
principal financial institutions of
the city with a view of saving
the Societie, which was creatly embarrassed
by the Anglo-Argentine crisK the object
being to obtain a suat of GO.000,000 irancs
before the opening of the Bourse this morn
ing. The object of the meeting was to form
a syndicate, and the Bank of France, on be
ing asked, declined to render assistance.
The Societ.e has been prominent on Bourse
dealings for the last few das. This morn
ing the Societie paid out ruonev lreely for
several hours, and it was alleced that its
difficulties nerc tided over, the position of the
biuk beng really -ouud.
Kecued 1'roin Its l'osilion.
Although the institution occupies a very re
spectable posit. on here in financial circles, It
docs cot hold the first rank, cither in the
amount of Its capiil or volume of business
tr.ii sacted. Idle its nominal capital is
a000,000, only S20.O0UO00 have been paid up.
It deposits are not lirge, and its stoppage
would not hare han a widespread effect.
This afternoon it transpired that itonvipr's
syndicate advanced the l,OCO,O0O required, hut
the thares of the coinpam have fallen to 570
francs a share, a decline of 139 francs. It was
st.ved that tho Bank of Prance consented to
nl ace itselt at the head of the svndicate and
that tl e bocicte would gu into liquidation.
1 he following Mas the arrangeuieut proposed
by Ahich it was honed the hociete would be
enalledto overcome its embarra-sment. The
Bank of Frarce proposed to advance to the
hociete, guaranteed by suitable obligations, a
certain sum, and the S oiete makes a call upon
lis siocbnoiders lor oa irancs ier snare, umcr
finaneial houses guarantee 15000,000 francs.
The assets of the faocieteare to be assigned to
assure the repayment ot these notes.
Assured Against Tailure.
The latest del clopnients in the affairs of the
society prove that it is assured against any
thing like failnrc The Council of the Recency
of the Bank of France has consented to guaran
tee about 50,030,000 francs, and mly the
details remain to be settled. The real
assets are f und to he far less than nominal.
Of the SO, 000,000 francs in bills the majority are
notes on the customs for advances on collateral
security. One hundred ana sixt thousand
shares are ou ncd by 3.600 people. The situa
tion, as stated bj friends and directors, is as
follow
bight and set en-day deposits and current ac
counts, 61,001,000 francs. The societv had on
January 31. in us treasury, 100,OC0,OJ0 francs in
paper, or in current accounts. 1 hen there was
also a sum of 100,000,000 of unissued stock,
which wasavailableatcalLforonly8,0U0,000 had
been paid up and it was only a question of the
value of the bills and the chances of immedi
ately realizing upon then that the Bank of
France made the guarantee it has given to tho
five houses aiding the tociete.
Governor Maguin said at the conference after
tue uecision had been rt-aclied- "I hope we
shall not reassemble within tho next two
jears." B this expression lie rfrred to the

Hakkisbukg, March 12. There was a
largely attended meeting of the, Honse In
surance Committee to-night to hear argu
ments of representatives of the fraternal so
cieties of the State upon the various bills
aimed at the frandulent bond and invest
ment and so-called beneficial societiesv J.
C. Smith, of Philadelphia, Supreme Guar
dian of the Order of Fraternal Guardians,
opposed the bills, and said tbe line could
not be drawn between fraternal societies and
beneficial societies. All that was needed
was a law to punish frauds when committed.
These laws would exclude from operation
the Fraternal Guardians and all endowment
orders. .
US. A. Will and S. A. Duncan, represent
ing tbe Heptasophs, favored the bills. Mr.
Duncan said the line should be drawn, and
that tbe established benencial societies de
manded it. Mr. N ill held that if these endow
ment concerns were to go on as at present, tbe
regular societies wanted them classed by them
selves, and not confounded with legitimate
beneficial organizations. J. L. Butler, of Hat
risliurg, opposed the bills, saying they would
exclude ail Catholic societies from operating
within the State.
Upon this there came near being a religions
argument, others present holding that the
members of the Roman Catholic Cburch could
and did belong to the United Workmen and
similar societies. Mr. Butler said they were
not Catholics in good standing. Upon this he
referred Mr. Leeds to Archbishop Ryan. Sir.
Leeds smilingly said the Archbishop was a con
stituent'of his. George Maloney, of Franklin,
and M. V. Sackett, of Meadville, representing
the Ancient Order ot United Workmen, asked
that tbe bills be amended so as to define the
distinctive features of a beneficial society.
These were the lodge system, representative
government, ritualistic wort, fraternal assist
ance to tbe living in sickness and destitution,
payment of benefits for disability.and payment
of benefits to the family or representative at
death-
The committee reported affirmatively tbe
bills introduced by Messrs. Cotton and Croth
ers. The latter was prepared by tbe Insurance
Department to cover the objections made to
the Cotton bill, which is the same as the bill
introduced In the Senate by Porter.

WANT A PABD0IT FOE DOUGHTY.
Mayor Gourley Believes That the Courts
Should Be Sustained.
An earnest effort is being made to secure tbe
pardon of Alderman Doughty, convicted of
conspiracy some months ago. The Alderman
bash i n laid up with a complication of dis
eases rvr since the trial, and it has been im
possible to carry the sentence into effect.
Mayor Gourley was asked j esterday to write a
letter to tbe Pardon Board, asking for clem
ency for Doughty.
"I don't think it Is just right to use my
official nosition for the purpose of securing
pardou for criminals, and undoing the work
done by the policu and tbe courts," said the
Mayor. "Every day 1 am aked to sign peti
tions or write letters to the Pardon Board, and
it seems to me as if every convicted criminal
in Allegheny county is uying to evade the
penalty of his crime. I am nut familiar enough
with this case to class it among the geneial
number, but I have been deeened a number of
times. I have had people in whom I had con
fidence assure me that a man was a legitimate
object of clemency, and a few Uajs later have
been confronted with positive evidence tbat
that the man had not received a sentence com
mensurate with his guilt. This thing of par
dons is greatly overdone, anyway."'
THE COUNTY SUED
For 81,470 by the Iteceivor of the Alle

pons attached, each for 30, payable semi-annually.
In June. 1S79, 49 of the coupons were

never paid. The suit is now brought to recover
the amount.

GENEKAL SPORTlJiG NEWS OF THE DAT
The directors of the California Athletic
Club, jn San Francisco, are inclined to offer
a purse for a battle between Jim Hall, the
Australian, and Pat Farrell, of this city.
The following telegram was received by the
sporting editor of this paper yesterday re
garding tbe matter:
"What is tbe lowest weight at which Pat
Farrell can enter ring with Jim Hall, of Aus
tralia? L. R. FDLTJA,
President California Athletic Club."
The telegram was shown to Farrell's backers,
and while they wonld have been better pleased
had it referred to Ed Smith, they stated that
Farrell, lose or win against McAuliffe. wonld be
willing to enter the ring against Hall at 1S6
pound", jn May. Accordingly tho following
dispatch was sent to President Fulda:
' Farrell's lowest weight to fight Hall is 1E6
pounds."
From tbe above it would seem that the pali-
lornia sports are anxious to arrange a name
between Half and Fan-ell, and it may be'tbat
within a few days tho club in question will
offer a good sized purso for the two pugilists."
It is in soma respects unfortunate that these
efforts or offers on tbe part of tbe California
uiud were not made ueiore farrell engagea to
meet McAuliffe. Farrell's backers now, (with
considerable reason, claim that Hall should be
willing to meet Ed bnitth at middle-wcjghr.
assmuu nas no real engagement on nana,
But it Farrell's weight is satisfactory his back
ers will be ready to put him against Halt It
may be that. Farrell will be willing to come
down to 134 pounds, but if he is badly beaten
by McAuliffe alt plans and proposals made be
iinocKea on me neaa.

SPECIAL WATHEE BULLETIN.
Rain or Possibly Snow and Clearing
Weather Promised for To-Day.
The storm that was in Western Texas on
Wednesday night passed over tbe Gulf States
to tho Atlantic coast, and was central last
night on the Virginia coast. Heavy
rain, averaging two inches, fell in all
the Gnlf and Sontb Atlantic States
except Florida. The trough ot low pressure
united with tbe storm center north of the
lower lakes in Canada and the ram belt covered
the Ohio and Tennessee valleys and all the
States on the Atlantic coast. The southern
storm was acquiring power as it moved north
east. High winds were blowing on shore all
along the coast and were dangerous, on account
of the dense fog which became light on tbe
Middle Atlantic coast at night. Rain, possibly
turning into snow, is promised for this morn
ing; with clearing and colder weather in the
afternoon.

Is sometimes more satisfactory than any number of "Wise Laws."
There are thousands and thousands of modern instances in which
Swift's Specific, HynVigr-al has justified all the claims made
for it as the IRt&VlkvafH greatest of vegetable remedies for
diseases that l"n fm M have in their origin impure blood
and a debilitated condition of the system. Mr. John H. Lyles, of
Sorento, 111., writes: "I suffered for five years with mercurial rheu
matism, which was the result of potash and mercurial treatment by
physicians for constitutional blood poison. They not only failed
to cure me, but made me a physical wreck and my life a burden. I
then commenced taking Swift's Specific, klgjjl and after using a
few bottles was entirely cured of the
doctors brought on by their remedies, and of the blood poison which
they had failed to cure."

The' remarkable merit of the Carlsbid Spin
del Salt, which is produced by the City of
Carlsbad by the evaporation of the Sprudcl
Spring water, has been known to tbe civilized
world for more than five centuries. It has
achieved an unapproacbed reputation and re
tains it wholly on its merit. It is a natural
remedy which is alwais effective in all disor
ders ot the stomach, liver and kidneys. For
habitual constipation, gouty and rheumatic af
fections it is without equal. It has been large
ly imitated. Be sure to obtain tbe genuine im

A. STRUGGLE -WITH DIRT
Goes on in civilized society from the cradle to the grave. Dirt is degra
dation and degradation is destruction. Women, especially, are judged
by their habits of household cleanliness, and no stronger condemnation
can be expressed than "she ieeps a dirty house and a filthy Mtchen." But
the struggle with dirt is often unequal. The -woman's weakness or tho
worthlessness of the soaps she uses make it impossible to overcome the
demon of dirt. By the use of SAPOLTO she wins easily.
