The Emperor, after banqueting with the Duke of Cambridge at Gloucester Hou'-e, finished the day at the State ball at Buckingham palace. The Duke of Cambridge's dinner was largely a mili tary and naval affair. Everybody urns in the uniform of some branch of the Govern ment service, excepting Iord Salisbury, W. H. Smith and other Ministers, who were in court dres. The Emperor, in a riiort speech, made a franker reference to the hopes of the alli ance in England, arising from his cordial public welcome in this city, than probably EorJ Salisbury liked to hear. Only an echo of the Imperial words has yet reached outside the official circle present, yet the words, in some form, will soon find an out let There are increasing fears that the Emperor intends that the political results shall be of momentous consequence. After the conclusion of the public func tion to-morrow at Wimbledon, the Em peror will proceed to Lord Salisbury's seat, Hatfield House, attended by Ministers von Hieberstcin and Lucanus, General von UahnkenndSir E Malet, the British Am. bassador to Germany. Gootl Grounds for French Uneasiness. At Hatfield House the prolonged, almost daily, conferences between the English PremicrJ.ind the Emperor's Foreign Secre tary ill cloe with a conference at which the Emperor will be present. It will bo impossible to persuade the French and Jtussian Governments that all this means anything but the practical absorption of England in the Central European Alliance. The House of Commons renewed their at tempt to-night to try to find how far the English Government is committed. Sir James Fergusson was asked whether the arbitration with France with reference to Newfoundland was progressing, and Sir James was obliged to deprecate discussion on the tubject and to decline information. 1'liilip Stanhope demanded definite declara tions in regard to the attitude of the Gov ernment toward the Dreibund, hut got none. Other Iladicals denounced the open affilia tion of the Government with the Emperor's policy, as giving France a just cause of offense. The Government Dodging tho Question. The Ministerial responses were purposely empty of all meaning. Mr. Stanhope's sug gestion that the Government invite Psesi dent Carnot to England obtained the bald reply from Mr. Smith that the Government could not send such an invitation, but that it would always be glad to seethe head of the French or any other friendly nation. It was an insincere response, Mr. Smith know ing that only the last necessities of the State would make the Queen willing or the Court consent to receive President Carnot, An incident connected with the sojourn of the Dnehcss of Aosta here illustrates the nature of the sentiments between the chiefs of the Dreibund and French personages. The Duchess and Prince Victor Jfapoleon were staying at the residence of ex-Empress Eugenie at Farnborough. King Humbert having ordered the Duchess to appear at the imperial receptions in London, Eugenie protested that the Duchess couldn't con tinue to be her guest if she figured at the Kaiser fetes. The Duchess was, thereupon, to install herself nt the Italian embassy, where she is now a guest, and Prince Victor took his t-ummary departure from England. Both the Emperor and Empress leave a most favorable impression among those who have met them beyond the eye of the gen . eral public The "World's Fair Subject Broached. Mrs. McCormick had a conversation with the Empress at the garden party, turning on the Chicago fair. The Empress said she was much interested in the exhibition, and believed Germany would be largely repre sented. She promised her assistance. At the same party an interesting incident was the Queen s graceful compliment to the Parliamentary veteran, Mr. Villiers, who is now 88 years of age and the father of the House of Commons. Singling him out from the crowd, the Queen took the old man by the arm and walked about with him for come time, cheerily chatting. The Queen's interest in Mrs. Grimwood incited the im perial visitors to hear her story privately. The Empress was specially drawn by the Ftory of Mrs. Grimwood's "flight from the British camp, and afterward wrote a sympa thetic note to Mrs. Grimwood. Scared by the formidable character of the opposition to the cattle bill, Mr. Chaplin, President of the Board of Agriculture, has fallen back upon the rights ot the board to issue a series of restrictive regulations. 2ot being quite sure about the extent of his rights, he has invited ship owners to a conference on the subject Tuesday. Ship Owners Oppose tho Cattle BUI. The ship owners will send delegates ad vised to tell Mr. Chaplin that it will be best to lea-ije the trade alone, or simply make the British harmonize with the American regulations. To-day the Seamen's Union Mint a deputation to Mr. Cnaplin, asking that the bill be pressed to its passage dur ing the present session. Mr. Chaplin, in explaining the obstacles that would not allow the bill to pass, stated that onlv 10 per cent came in li e stock, and, therefore, that the current assertions that the bill would seriously interfere with trade were unfounded. The well-known physician, Sir Morell Mackenzie, has learned that some person pretending to be his son has been obtaining hospitality and pecuniary assistance from good-natured citizens in Baltimore and other parts of the United States. Sir Morell says he has no boa in America. CHTJECH AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS. The Educational System of America Dls- enssed in England. Loxnox, July 10. The Canterbury Dio cesan Conference has been discussing the re lations of the church to educational schemes. The Dean of Davenport, at the request of the Archbishop, spoke on education in America. Free education, he said, was recognized as a fact. "Whether desirable or not, it was felt to be of the utmost import ance to have home kind of education as ex tensive as possible. Against free schools there was a religious objection, and also the objection that the teaching was apt to be come mechanical. He added that an at. tempt is being made to establish every where church schools, but as yet no great progress has been made. Subsequent speakers contrasted the re sults of tree education in America with the probable Jesuits in Great Britain, generally concluding that the results wouldbe to the benefit of the Church of England. The Archbishop closed the debate, declaring that the stability of church schools de pended upon the stability of churchmen. WALES ALMOST MOBBED. EXCITING SCENES DURING THE EII rEIUAI, rAGEANT. Tho Consequences of tho Baccarat Scandal Crop Oat Unpleasantly During tho Re ception of the Emperor by the Great Metropolis Tho Kaiser Makes a Speech. London, July 10. The event of the day .in the reception of Emperor "William was the royal and imperial pageant from Buck ingham palace to the Guildhall one of the greatest ceremonial events, perhaps, in modern times. The reception of the Prince of "Wales was of a mixed character. At points he was received with unstinted cor diality, and at others loud "booings" quite dominated the cheers, though, on the whole, his reception was favorable. At sev eral pflints there was a perfect hurricane of cheers and other demonstrations. Arriving at the Guildhall, the Emperor replied to the Lord Mayor's address in the following terms: Mr Loitn Please receive our heartfelt thanks for the warm welcome extended to us by tho citizens of this ancient and noble metropolis. I bep your Lordship to kindly transmit the expression of my feelings to those in whose name yon have spoken. I have always felt at homo In this lovely coun trv, being the grandson of your Queen, whose name will ever he remembered as that of anoblo character and of a lady great in tho w isdom of her counsel, and whose reign has conferred lasting blessings upon Eng land. Moreover, the same blood runs in En glish as in German veins, and, following the oxamples of my grandfather, and of mvever lamented father, I shall always, so faafcs in my pow er, maintain the historical friend ship existing betw ecn these, our two nations, which, as your Lordship has mentioned, have so often been seen side by side in de fense of liberty aud justice. The Emperor Is for Peace. I feel encouraged in my task when I see that wise, capable men, such as are gathered here to-day, do justice to tho earnestness and honesty of my intentions. Jlyaimis, above all, the maintenance or peace, for peacoalono can give the confidence neces sary to a healthy development of science, art and trade. Only so long as peace reiens can we enjoy real liberty to best jw earnest thoughts upon the great problems, tho solu tion of which, in lairness to equity, I con sider the most prominent duty of our time. You may, therefore, rest assured that I shall continue to do my best to maintain and to constantly increase tbe good relations ex isting between Germany and other nations. I shall always bo found ready to unite with you and tliem in tho common labor for peaceful progress, friondly intercourse and the advancement of civilization. The address of the municipality of the city of London was presented to the Em peror in a splendid gold casket, richly enameled and ornamented with precious stones. After these ceremonies had been brought to an end the procession was formed and proceeded in solemn state to the great hall of the Guild, where a most satisfying dejeuner was prepared. At 3:20 p" si. everybody felt comfortable and strong enough to bear the fatigue of the journey back to Buckingham and other places, and so the imperial party left the smoked halls, returning westward by way of the Thames embankment. Along that thoroughfare the scenes of the morning were repeated. The Prince Loudly Hooted. At Ludgate Circus, where the rougher element ol the city is packed, there were some exciting incidents. This rowdy ele ment had been getting up steam on beer and gin for many hours past Many were the tree fights with the police. The authori ties, it is understood, received an intima tion that the roughs were preparing to give the Prince of wales a distinctly hostile reception. "When the carriage containing the Prince and Princess of "Wales passed through Lud gate Circus it was driven at a rapid pace, so much that the carriage had passed the dan gerous spot before the main body of the crowd"was aware that tbe Prince was in their midst. Ab it was, however, the Prince was greeted, with repeated outbursts of jeering and "booings. The reception accorded to the Prince was in strong con trast to the hearty ringing cheers with which the Duke of Connaught, his brother, was greeted. A QUEER COMPLICATION. DUNCAN, THE DIAMOND THIEF, CEITES A VISITOR EE- Had It Not Been for the Utopia Disaster Duncan Might Have Found an Innocent Scapegoat His Intended Victim Was Drowned at Gibraltar. New York, July 10. W. T. Colbron, a banker of New street and a member of the firm of Colbron, Chauncey & Co., was a visitor at the District Attorney's office to day where he told a remarkable story. His visit was for the purpose of seeing "William CJDuncan, alias Harry Valdes, the young thief, who, while a salesman in the store of Lewisohn & Co., in Maiden lane, stole $30,000 worth of diamonds, for which he was arraigned in the Court of General Sessions last week and pleaded guilty. Mr. Colbron's story is as follows: "I left New Vork in the spring for Lis bon, Portugal, with Charles G. Davis, a friend from Boston. On the way over we met William C Duncan, alias Valdes, who was known to us and all the passengers by the latter name. After spending sometime in Spain and Portugal we traveled to Italy, where we parted with Duncan. He went to Tangier. "Before leaving us Valdes, as he was known by us, gave my friend, Charles Davis, the receipt signed by the clerk in the Astor House tor the $30,000 worth of diamonds he had in safe keeping, and asked him when he reached New York to go to the hotel, get the box of diamonds and keep them for him. As is well known, the Utopia collided with another steamship and was sunk ofi Gibraltar. Hundreds of people were drowned, and among them my friend, Charles G. Davis. "I hired a diver to secure my friend's body, and when I had found that I tried to secure his trunks, in which I was also suc cessful. When I got the trunks to shore and opened them I found the receipt for the diamonds which Valde3 had given to Mr. Davis. I was at a loss to know what to do in the matter, but finally I wrote to Valdes, who was then in Tangier, and told him of the loss of my friend Davis. I also inclosed him the receipt. Mr. Colbron added that, had his friend Davis not been drowned, but had presented the receipt at the Astor House for $30,000 wortli of diamonds he might have been ar rested and it would have been difficult to explain matters.

The Sad Ending of a Sunday School Plcnto Party in Cleveland. Cleveland, July 10. The Miles Park M. E. Sunday School, of this city, gave an excursion to Oak Point toiay. Among the excursionists were John Henderson and his two nieces, Isabel and Ella Henderson, aged respectively 22 and 12 years. Mr. Henderson and John Stockman took the two Henderson girls and Lillie Chenowith, nged 12, for a boat ride on Lake Erie. The lake was somewhat rough, but not con sidered dangerous. When some distance from the shore a wave washed into the boat, and the girls became frightened. In the excitement the boat was overturned. The three girls and Stockman were drowned, but Henderson managed to support himself on the skiff until lieljwcame. The bodies were all recovered. THE AN APPEAL TO BLAINE From an American Citizen IH-Treated in a Guatemalan Prison. A CASE OP BRUTAL PERSECUTION. The United States Minister Fails to Secure Satisfaction. NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO WASH HIMSELF Crrr or Guatemala,, July 10. T. R. Dawley, Jr., a young mtti from New York city who came to this country about a year ago and went into business at Flores, capi tal of the Department of Peten, claims to have been the victim of an outrageous persecution at the hands of the Guatemalan authorities. He claims that he incurred the displeasure of certain petty Govern ment officials, and a few of his imports from Belize were taken from the Custom House on the frontier of British Honduras, confis cated as contraband and a case made out against him for smuggling. Mr. Dawley was absent at the time in British Honduras, but immediately upon hearing of the charge set out for Flores. Upon arriving at Flores he presented a petition that he be tried before a judge competent to interpret the laws of the country. As an answer to his petition he was put under arrest and thrown into prison with some 14 Indians and half breeds, was refused the privilege of procur ing a bondsman, and was forced to suffer all manner of persecution and vile treatment. Mr. Dawlev says he was marched through the streets by barefooted soldiers with loaded muskets, confined in a prison about 20 feet square, without windows, and was forced to lie on the stone floor, though he was seriously ill with chills and fever and nervous prostration. Rigors ot Prison Life. Dnrinir this time he was denied medical and legal assistance as well as the use of certain medicines mat ne possessed, com mon necessities of civilization were denied him. He was not allowed to secure a bonds man, which the laws of the country permit, and while undergoing this treatment his property was seized and he was reduced to poverty. At the beginning of this persecution Mr. Dawley says that, realizing there was neither law nor justice in the place, and having heard the Secretary, who controlled the judicial powers of the place, make threats that he would ruin him, ne addressed a communication to the United States Lega rion in Guatemala explaining his case, and requesting the protection of the United States Consul to at least see that he was given a proper trial. This communication was answered by Minister Mizner through Consul Hosmer, then in Guatemala, promising to present the request to the Guatemalan Government as soon as he returned from an intended visit to San Salvador. After Mr. Dawley's imprisonment various dispatches were sent to the United States Legation in Guate mala, but nothing was ever heard from them. An Attempt at Coercion. When the authorities in Flores ob tained knowledge that Mr. Dawley had re ceived a communication from the United States Minister an attempt was made to force him into a promise not to ask for fur ther interference, nor to present any claim to the Government of Guatemala. First, he says, he was taken from his prison, threat ened with corporal punishment, and then marched through the streets to his house, in front of two soldiers with loaded muskets, when an act of seizure was read and his goods were removed. He was then marched back to jail. Daniel Drake, an American visiting tbe place at the time, sent a com munication to Minister Mizner, giving him a detailed account of the treatment to which Mr. Dawley was being subjected, but .no answer was received. Three days later a messenger was sent to Mr. Dawley informing him that if he would agree to a sentence by the court in Flores for the crime with which he had been charged he would be given his liberty, his property would be restored to him and he could proceed with his business as formerly. This proposition was declined. Prof. Rock, of Washington, D. C, who is employed by the Guatemalan Government, made a de mand that Mr. Dawley be released on bail. Mr. Rock was required to make a sworn statement that he believed if Mr. Dawley's confinement was pro longed it would result in his death. This statement was verified by the Government physician at the place and then, after two months' imprisonment, an investigation was made to fix his bond according to the amount of contraband for which he had been arrested, and it was found the whole amount alleged to have been smuggled was something like $45, and that Mr. Dawley had suffered an imprisonment of about four times that which he would have incurred had he been convicted of smuggling and sentenced according to the laws of the country. The First Wash In Two Months. After some four or five days more spent in making these investigations Mr. Dawley was allowed his liberty, and for the first time in two months was allowed the privi lege of washing himself. He presented a written protest to the Court, protesting against the unjuBt proceedings, and for a second time prayed for a trial in one of the courts of Guatemala. The answer to this protest was a threat of further imprison ment and fine. After about two weeks he set out alone and on foot for the frontier of British Honduras, four days' journey through uninhabited forest, and, finally reaching Belize, he continued his journey to Guatemala City. After his arrival in the capital he made a sworn statement before the American Con sul, Mr. Kimberly, and requested Minister Mizner to make a prompt investigation of his case. Mr. Dawley secured employment in Coban and waited for the United States authorities to take action. Just as he was getting established in busi ness in Coban an order was sent to the authorities in Coban to arrest Mr. Dawley and Bend him prisoner 15 days' journey through the forest to Flores, but the author ities in Coban gave him a chance to go to Guatemala and again seek protection -from the United States Legation. Upon his ar rival in Guatemala he was informed hv the United States Consul that there was no evi-1 dence of a denial of justice in his case, as he had not yet had a trial. In an interview with the Minister, M. Pacheo, he was asked to produce documentary evidence from the authorities that he had been imprisoned and treated as was stated in his sworn declara tion. An Appeal to Secretary Elaine. Six months have passed since Mr. Daw ley petitioned the United States authori ties for an investigation of his treatment in Flores, and his sworn declaration has been on file in the office of the legation during that Jime, but so far as he knows not a single communication has been addressed to either the Guatemalan Government or the State Department at Washington concern ing the matter, and now he is again threat ened with arrest. Mr. Dawley has written a letter to Secre tary of State Blaine, in which he says: "Being a citizen of the United States of America, and not having received the pro tection that the laws of my country allow, I have the honor of appealing to you for a prompt and impartial investigation of a persecution to which I have been subjected in this country." Then follows a presenta tion of the facts as given above, ana the let ter concludes: "Now, Mr. Secretary, considering these facts, I pray you to order a prompt-investigation of my case, and order that I be given the protection that the laws of my country allow its citizens; and if proven that I haye been subjected to a bitter persecution and denial of justice, as set forth by me in my various petitions to the United States Con PITTSBURG DISPATCH, sular service, that I be granted indemnity for the losses and pergonal sufferings that I have sustained." THE GRIP'S AWFUL WORK. AN ENTIRE FAMILY OF SEC KHXED BY THE FATHER. He Kills Himself, His Wife and His F" Children "With a Revolver His Aim Was Perfect-The Horrible Discovery of a Chance Visitor. Eilis, Neb., July 10. Some time dur ing last night the most terrible tragedy ever enacted in Gage county or in this section of Nebraska occurred. About 4 o'clock this afternoon, Mrs. Dr. Allen, of Beatrice, came to Ellis on a visit to her brother, John H. Puterbaugh, a mile and nbalf south of town. She was driven to the farm by Louis Perling, and knocked at the door, but receiving no response, entered. As she entered she saw her brother lying on the floor near the door, and supposing that he was asleep she spoke to him, but there being no response looked more closely and saw blood on his face. Mrs. Allen called Perling in, who made an investigation and found a horrible state of affairs. In a bed in a room in which the husband and father lay was the mother with a bullet through her head In a bed with her was a 2-ycar-old baby also shot through the head. On a lounge in the room lay a lad of 10 years dead shot through the head. In the room above was another bed occupied by two young girls, one 13 and one 15, both dead, with bullet holes in their heads. The dead were John Puter baugh, his wife and four children. How they met their fate is unknown. The gen eral belief is that the deed was the work of the husband and father. The motive is un known, as he was a peaceable man, in com fortable circumstances, and it is believed that no trouble existed in the family. Coroner Wells, of Beatrice, arrived on the scene shortly after 6 o'clock, and at a late hour to-night the inquest is in progress. By Puterbaugh's side, under his arm, lay a six-chamber revolver with all the chambers empty. The faces of the dead, although covered with blood, were as calm as if sleeping. There were no evidences of a struggle. All seemed to have been killed while sleeping, and were shot directly through the skull. In every case the pistol was placed so close to their heads that powder stains were visi ble on the bedelothing. Puterbaugh suffered from the grip last spring, and since then has not been in the bestofhealth,subsequently complaining of a pain in his head. A VEEM0HT VISIT.

DECLARED IT OFF. Fowderly Decides It Wise to Abandon the Proposed Industrial Conference. New York, July 10. General Master Workman Powderly has issued a special circular to all local assemblies of the Knights of Labor, on the question of the proposed Industrial Conference which was to have been held on July 29, to take up the platform of the Farmers' Alliance and join hands with the third party. The call has received so little response, outside of the Knights, that Mr. Powderly has deemed it wise to declare it off for the present, and to hold a meeting on Wash ington's Birthday in 1892. V. NEBEEEB WON'T EESIGN. The Beport That He Would Do So Based on His Outside Duties. Lexington, July 10. United States Treasurer Nebeker was here to-day en route to Washington from Cincinnati, when in terviewed by a reporter. He stated most- emphatically there was no truth in the re port that he had any notion of resigning.

LYNCHING MAT BE THE OUTCOME. A Peaceful Long Island Hamlet at the Mercy of a Bobber, CLAD LIKE A DIME K0VEL VILLAIN tSPXCIAI. TltKIBAJt TO TOT DISPATCH.! Ismp, L. L, July 10. Nearly.J200 men, armed with shotguns, rifles and revolvers, scoured the woods north of this place to-day and searched Sexton's swamp, a mile and a half away, for Tom Eichardson, cowboy, robber and bandit. Two caves have been discovered, cunningly constructed, in the sandy scrub oak land between here and Brentwood, in which he has concealed the booty of numerous robberies, anin one of which, it is supposed, he meant to cage his wife after he succeeded in abducting her forcibly from her father's home, where she fled for refuge months ago. For ten days the country people have been looking for him with guns, meaning to shoot him down on sight. He has been seen four or five times. His brother, a sup posedly reputable young man in town, is now under arrest, accused of complicity. The town authorities are trying to suppress all reports of the affair until Richardson is arrested. The two Richardsons were bom near here. Tom is about 30 years old. James is about 20. The family moved away some years ago, but the young men returned. James went into a store, and Tom made off to Texas, where he lived an adventurous life, being by turns a cowboy and Mexican scout. IJko a Dime Novel Hero. This at least was the story he "told when he returned somewhat over a year ago, wearing picturesque clothes, long hair, and a sombrero. He cut quite a figure in Islip. He was erect, well built and good looking. He had a dainty black mustache and wonder fully keen black eyes. He astonished the town folks by his markmanship. He took well with the girls, and he married the pretty daughter of Police Justice Walley, of Bay Shore, very soon after his arrival. Then he was made a constable, and he was on duty nights in Islip, earning a comfortable income from merchants and cot tagers, whose places he guarded, but he got frightfully into debt and he treated his wile so badly that she ran home away from him four months after marriage. About eight months ago he found it was a good deal more comfortable for him out of Islip than in it. Justice Waller kicked him out of the house. It is said that then he swore vengeance and that he would have his wife in spite of any obstacle. He dis appeared, and the people thought he left the country. Last winter there began in Islip, Brentwood and neighboring towns a succession of robberies and thefts which worried the community greatly. They were generally of a similar nature, and seemed as often to be provoked by hunger as by greed of gain. A General Thieving Bald. Ex-Supervisor Vails' cowhouse, for in stance, was broken open one night and an Alderney, which he valued at 5500, was found with her throat cut in the morning. Her two hind quarters had beencut off and removed. The rest of the carcass remained. Last month the summer residence of William M. Van Anden, of the Brooklyn Eagle, was broken into and a quantity of clothing, bedclothes, china and some articles of silver were taken. A leather traveling bag was found in the house afterward containing an outfit of finely finished burglar's tools. A large number of fine chickens were stolen from the Peck place at Brentwood, and similar depredations were reported in the country all around. These thefts aroused the people greatly. Rewards had been offered for the arrest of the thieves by the wealthy people who had country homes near Islip. One reward named 51,000, and in all 51,750 was coming to whoever should capture the thief. A week ago last Thursday two men discovered the lair of the robber in the woods, and later the man himself was seen. Some of the stolen property was found in the robber's cave, but the fellow himself kept out of sight. The depredations continued, and still Bichardson eluded capture, for the expedi tion of to-day was carefully organized but without success. As the whole country side means business, the search will likely be kept up until the robber is taken, and harsh measures may be taken in his case. RECUPERATION Rev.

Vines Destroyed, So the Price of Brandy Is Likely to Be Advanced. A correspondent writing to the Wine Trade fiction from Cognac says: May 20 and 21 will never be forgotten, owing to the sever ity of the hailstorm we experienced in these parts, the hailstones falling very thickly and the size attaining in many in stances that of eggs. Nothing has been seen like it since 1830. In the towns many thou sands of panes of glass were smashed, and in the country the fields presented the ap pearance of having been trampled over by whole armies. The vines, of course, suf fered greatlVj the shoots being cut up merci lessly, and in the case of young plants many were broken to the ground. WOMEK AND THE CYCLE.

The attention of Controller Lacy was called to-night to the Bardsley statement made public in Phil adelphia to-day that Mr. Wanamaker de manded $100,000 for his bogus stock in the Keystone Bank and threatened to close the bank if that amount was not paid him, and that President Marsh told Lacy about the demand. Controller Lacy has no recol lection that Marsh placed Mr. Wana maker's demand as high as $100,000. He says Marsh did tell him that- an arrange ment had been made whereby certain prop erty ann cash were to be accepted by Mr. Wanamaker and the stock surrendered. Mr. Lacey does not remember the value placed upon the consideration, but thinks it was between 125,000 and 550,000. He under stood Marsh to say that the property was not delivered at the time agreed upon, and for that reason Wanamaker declared the trade off. This was the conversation as near as he can remember it. 'He does not remember that Marsh told him that Wana maker had ever made any threat as to the closing of the bank. These conversations between Controller Lacy- and Marsh all took place on or after the 19th of March, and the Keystone Bank was closed on the 20th of that month. DOWN GOES ANOTHER BANK. A LOTJISVrXXE PRIVATE INSTITUTION CLOSES ITS DOORS. The Baring Brothers' Panic a Few Months Ago Caught It Short of Cash The Bank Never Recovered From the Shock Other Banks Safe. LOTJlSVlLliE, July 10. Financial circles received a tremendous shock this morning, when it was officially announced that the Palls City Bank had closed its doors. It was a private corporation, and has been in a shaky condition since last fall, when a run was made on it by its deposit ors. The liabilities are about $431,000; as sets, nominal, $1,223,000. Its capital stoct was placed at $600,000. It is not thought that the depositors will lose any ol their ae posits. The bank officials this morning entered into a deed of assignment, conveying all of its assets to tne Merchants xrust uompany tor the benefit ot its creditors. The collapse will have but little effect on local financiers. A failure six months ago might have en tailed serious consequences ana nave forced several banks to the walL There is a general feeling of confidence throughout the local money market, and all the banks can stand the slight run that may be caused among their depositors by the failure. The history of the bank's embarrassment dates from the becranineof thecanlc which spread over the country last fail in conse quence of the Baring Brothers' complica tions, and the collapsed of the Argentine se curities. Though ably managed, the h alls City Bank had got very low in its cash when the tidal wave broke over the country, and rumors of its shaky condition having been circulated throughout business circles, there was a steady withdrawal of deposits. The local banks came to its as sistance and tided it over the crisis, but since then the Institution has gradually weakened and the collapse came to-day.

Russell A. Alger, ex-Governor of Michi gan, tells an incident of his last visit to San Francisco in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. It was last spring when a severe shock of earthquake occurred, doing some damage, I believe, throughout California, he says. Every night of his life my little son Allen knelt down by his bed and repeated the sim ple little prayer he had been taught. That night he went to sleep on a sofa, and we got his clothes off and put him to bed without waking him. When the terrific rumble and jarring came he sat up and stared about him, not Know ing what the trouble was. In a moment his sisters rushed into the room and exclaimed that "there had been an earthquake." Allen sprang from his bed and said, "I know why it happened. I forgot to say my prayers. Then the little fellow dropped down on his knees, and, with his face buried in the covering, murmured the familiar words of his daily prayer. Dear Allen I he is dead now. A PRETTY PERFUMED LAKE. Fragrancr of the Water I lies That Makes Tadpu.t) j'onil a sheet of White. The most wonderful lily pond in the coun try is near Plainficld, Conn., and is called Tadpole pond. It is a still sheet of water, one mile in diameter, among the wild secluded hills, and its surface is a vast bou quet of lovely pond lilies. So thickly are the lilies tangled together that when they are in blossom in July, one crossing the lake barely has a glimpse of the water. The lilies are now in full bloom, and the lake seems to be a sheet of nodding pink and white petals. When the wind is strong and the lilies are open the perfume of them is perceptible a quarter of a mile from the brink of the pond. The railroad crosses the lake on a low causeway, and when a train dashes on the causeway 100 windows fly up, and scores of passengers gaze at the novel and beauti ful spectacle, uttering exclamations of wonder and delight. In the season boys and men do a lively business gathering the lilliesbythe bushel and wagon load, and selling them in bunches in the cities.

An article in the JTobari Mercury gives some very interesting and curious facts con cerning the development of a new sort of nail in the rabbits of Australia in conse quence of the animal's endeavor to climb over the wire netting used to impede their progress in traveling. The farmers have discovered that the rabbits can bur row under the netting unless it is buried some six or eight inches under the soil. Moreover, they can climb, or evi dently intend to do so, after a little train ing, and to this end they are developing a nail which will enable them to hold on .while progress is made upward. -Luis nail ueveiupi"ti . ucu uuuueu before in Queensland when the bark just outside of reach was desirable of attainment, but to- effect hand over hand nautical climbing shows the rabbit in the act of ele vating himself in the scale.
