The first failure announced i this series was that of the London and -eneral Bank, Lim.; the next that ot the liberal, or Liberator, Permanent Building ad Investment Society, and now comes the ispension of the Land and Investment rust The capital ol each of these con ;rns does not represent anything approach iC the liabilities. The money which they owe is chiefly due 3 depositors and investors who had been idnoed to participate in the affairs of the oncerns by the alluring high rata of inter st which they offered. The liabilities of he London and General Bank are roughly stimated at 1,000.000, those of the Liber tor Society at 2,500,000 and those of the lousi and Land Trust at 2,000,000. Another great building and bank society 5 involved in serious financial difficulties, lit its suspension has not yet been an .ounoed. The collapse of this concern will hake the whole building society system in Ireat Britain. A run occurred to-day ou ne of the oldest and most prominent banks n London, the Associated Workmen's iailding Funds. I It Is :h Small Fry That Suffer. Although the suspensions must affect the oneral financial position, it is a singular "net that the cnis causes no panic or scare. The limited building bank investors are all mall capitalists whoe life savings are went away or are imperiled br the failure if the concerns to which they have in rusted their monev. The losses which led o the suspension are chiefly traceable to niudicious speculations in land blocks. So far no suspicion of malversation at aches to the directors of any ot the rained jompanies, although the shareholders charge hem with concealing the true position of Jie institutions. Thus, a shareholder in ilie House and Land Investment Trust, (fter repeated applications to be allowed to rithdraw hii money, to-day got a circular jated September 3, announcing the trust's Jispension. Although Laute finance in the peantime is unaflected, the widespread 3'in brought upon small investors by these lisasters must soon cause a strain upon the Dig banks.

King Humbert and Queen Margherita, accompanied by the royal party that came with them to this city, among whom are the Ministers of State, visited the Columbus exhibition to day. The King and Queen received an ovation. Their Majesties inspected the American section of the exhibition, and afterward visited the sections occupied by special workmen plying their trades. The event of the day was the formal re ception of the French Admiral Xtieunier, who brought a letter from President Carnot. King Humbert received Admiral Bieunier standing and shook hands with him. The Admiral handed the King President Car not's letter, which expressed the President's wishes for the hanDineu of the Italian royal family anl the prosperity of Italy. King Humbert replied: The greetings and good wishes which President Curnot charged yon to convey to me are highly appreciated by mo and my p ople.

Garfio'd rarlc Officials Propose to Secnre a License Over Iho Mayor's Head The Police Prepared to Defend the Law and Order of the City. Chicago, Sept 9. 5pdaJ. Mayor "Washburne and Chief McClaughrey are pre paring to defend the community against an attack by the City Council on law and or der in the interest of Garfield Park. Sur prised and dazed by the vigorous onslaught by the police, they propose to apceal to their henchmen in the Council for relief. The plan is to force, at the session of the Council, Monday evening next, the passage over the Mayor's veto of the Powers ordi nance. This measure, which was passed only to be vetoed by Mayor Washburne, makes it mandatory on the City Clerk and City Collector to issue an amusement license to any race track company applying tor the same and accompanying the appli cation with a $100 fee. The Mayor and the police are ignored by this ordinance, which was introduced and nassed to compel the city to issue to the Garfield Park track the amusement license which'Mayor Washburne refused to them. The gamblers make no secret of their in tentions. They claim to control the neces sary two-thirds vote in the Council, but it is hardly likely the gang can muster the necessary vole. Public sentiment is against the track. It is certain that a few Alder men who voted for the ordinance before will be arraye 1 against :t this time. It was reported this afternoon, but the rumor could not be traced to an authentic source, that the Garfield Park attorneys had sworn out a warrant for the arrest of Thomas Windsor, the mysterious individual who has been sn earing out the warrants for the arrest of Garfield officials and the spec tators. The charge is perjury. !The Convention ot" the Trades Congress, low in session in Glasgow, is the biggest leetiug that bodv has ever held.

Lovdojt, Sept a On August 7 last a horrible discovery was made near the rail way station at Althorpe, in the county of Iforf liarnpton. The headless and armless body of a woman was found in a sack secreted in a ditch by the side of the main road from Northampton to Bugby. The feet had been tied together and then pressed backward, with a quantity of lime thrown in. Uecomposition had so far proceeded that it was impossible even to guess at the cause of death. The head and arms had been cut off by a person possessing some Cnatomical knowledge. The clothing led to the identification of the victim as Anne Pritcbard, of Birming ham, whose friends had not heard of her since March, when the left Birmingham, telling them that she was going to Liver pool to niarrv a man named Anderson, an engineer. The police traced the girl 'to Northampton, where it was learned she had lived with a man known as Rae Anderson, and that she became a mother in June! The police searched a long time for Ander son, but could not find him. They finally ejonoluded that Anderson was an assumed name, and in this they were right, for they Soon learned that Rae Anderson was An drew -Mcliae, tue manager of a warehouse. He wa at once arrested. McEae, it was soon proved, had been living a double life, having a wife and familv in Birmingham, while at the same time be was supporting the Pritchard girl in Northampton. A scarrli was made of his office, and in the firefdace were found the calcined bones of what had apparently been a babe and the erms of a woman. All the facts were brought out at the Coroner's inquest.

The Schenley Kstate Will Have Non3 hut Good liallalngs. Colonel William A. Herron, local agent for the Schenley estate, said yesterday that Mrs. Schenley had recently decided not to lease her property near the Park until after the completion of the Carnegie Library. The conclusion recently reached, Colonel Herron said, was to guarantee the erection of only first-class residences on the property. The leases, it has been arranged, will be for SO years and will cost about 4 per cent on the assessed value of the property, which in the 60 year leases is to be ap praised every 10 years. In shorter leases the value of"the property Is to be fixed every five years. A syndicate, it is said by Colonel Herron, recently made an effort to lease the entire property, with a view to constructing thereon several blocks of houses He added that he refused to lease the property under such circumstances. "We will have no blocks of houses on our property," the Colonel said. "Our object is to get the property into the hands of good tenants, who will lease large lots and build fine houses, and in that way improve and beau tify that part of the city." W0EKIKO OH THE LIBEABY. Dlsxlcc the Foundations ror the Blj Build ing In Schenley Park.

St. Louis, Sept 9. Special j. Quigley, of Memphis, is a relic of the Sulli-van-Corbett fight Last Tuesday he sat in front of Hurst's Hotel, wearing a neatly fitting suit of clothes, and had money enough on his person to pay for a month's hotel bill To-day he worked the assem blage for a sandwich. He was walking with a crutch and cane, he having but one leg, and was attired in anything but a Btyl lsh suit of clothes. "I never had to get down to this before," taid Quigley, "but I was so confident that Sullivan would win that I pawned my cork leg that I paid 5200 for, in this city, put my best clothes in soak, and bet my roll, and as a consequence I am on the town to-day with one.leg, an old suit of clothes, and not a cent in my pocket Sullivan was a champ, and so was John Quigley, of Memphis." "I don't wish, to antagonize Mr. Everson or the Elba Iron Works," said President elect Garland, of the Amalgamated Asso ciation, yesterday when asked about the trouble there, "for ' our relations have always been most pleasant, but I do desire to contradict some statements which have been made regarding the trouble there. I did object to the men making three turns in our recent conference with the firm. The finishing departments-jsan work three turns when practicable. "Regarding clause S in the memorandum of agreement of tbe scale that a mill may work three turns in 24 hours when practi cnble, Messrs. Bailey and Oliver told us in a recent conference that it was not to apply to boiling departments unless each of the three turns could make five heats. When this clause was inserted by Mr. Everson in the agreement, our men never for one mo ment thought it referred to boiling. In fact, the practicability of working three turns was so far remote that we never con sidered it at all. ' There has only been one instance where three turns have been tried, and that was at Moorhead's mills where it resulted in a dismal failure. The matter of working three turns was left en tirely to the men. Hr. Everson will not assure us that three turns of five heats each could be turned out" Befnsed to Sanction the Agreement. "Did not the finishers agree with Mr. Everson to go to work if he would with draw the 30 day's clause and let the man agement run the puddling department as it wished, either union or non-union?" "Yes, they had an agreement of that sort with Mr. Everson," said Mr. Garland, "but when they asked me for my sanc tion I refused to give it As an officer of the Amalgamated As sociation I had no right to concede part of the works Jo the firm to run as non union. It was in diiect opposition to the principles of the organization. The men had a meeting after our last conference nith the firm on Wednesday, at which this fact developed, and almost unanimously voted not to go back to work. It was "a joint meeting and the matter of running three turns was thoroughly discussed and voted to be impracticable." "Mr. Everson says that the 30 days clause is enjoyed by some mills in the district sim ilar to his. "is that true Mr. Garland?" "The National Tube Works of McKees nort has an agreement which states that should any reduction be applied they should enjoy it, end ends np by saying that any misunderstanding as to what mav or may not constitute a reduction would entitle either party to cancel the scalt on 30 days' notice. I acknowledge this is rather loose ly drawn up, but it was meant only as a protection to the National Tube Works against their men in case they should re fuse to confirm the concessions, which might be made by'the Conference Commit tee. This scale was signed on June 28 and at that time it was thought that the manu facturers were not going to sign. Made to Secure Concessions. "This 30 days agreement was then signed with the understanding on the part of the men that in case reductions were given to any firms in the same line of work " the Na tional Tube works should be given the same concession. In case the men did not agree to this reduction, then the scale could be terminated bv 30 days' notice. We claim that the 30 days' clause has expired, as there is no friction between the National Tube Works and their men, as the agree ment applied only to the period while the conference committees were at work. Mr. Everson told me in his office that he would waive the 30 davs clause." "It is reported, Mr. Garland, that this concession was granted the National Tube Works, in order to get it to sign, so that you could use it as a lever in working with the other manufacturers." "There is no truth in that whatever," re plied Mr. Garland. "The reason for grant ing the agreement was as I have told you." "Air. Everson says he asked yon to sign the same agreement as you gave the Tube Works and you refused. " "I had good reasons for doing so," said Mr. Garland," as I had no authority to sign. The agreement of the National Tube works was voted upon in convention and I would not take the power of creating a similar agreement" "The fourth clause in the memorandum of agreement of the scale, says: 'Wherever deviations from the Western iron scale signed for by any manufacturer and the Amalgamated Association, and evidence is produced to prove it, the Amalgamated Association and manufacturers agree to make every effort to correct the same, pro vided, the trains and furnaces are similar; but if the deviations continue to be tolerated by the Amalgamated Association, all other mills shall receive the same. All manu facturers and workmen governed by this scale hereby agree not to make any devia tion from the scale agreed to.' -Couldn't the other mills now claim the right to the 30 day's clause?" Does Not Apply to Other Blltls. "By no means," said Mr. Garland. "The clause refers only to the manner of working when the trains and furnaces are tbe same. This last phrase would make it impossible for anyone to construe the clause to refer to the matter involved in the National Tube Works agreement" Mr. Everson was seen at tbe office of tbe company and said: "We will start up some time next week. We are having very lit tle trouble in getting men, having plenty of applications. We object to this unjust discrimination and consider that the statements published by tbe Iron Age is correct with the exception ot the point regarding my showing a copy of the agreement of the National Tube Works. I induced Mr. Weihe to show it to me and he permitted me to copy it We have 500 men and boys in the Elba mills and produce in finished iron and steel be tween 32,000 and 40,000 tons annually. Our Eagle mills at Saw Mill Bun have 21 pud dling' furnaces and produce about 12,000 tons annually, employing 150 men. Our Pipe mill furnishes employment to 800 to 900 men and boys and produces about 40, 000 to 50,000 net tons of wrought iron pipe annually. All these are shut down by a strike in the puddling departmenr. The article in the Iron Age which Mr. Everson referred to is given below: Tbe latest conflict to arise Is the one that commenced Monday between tun Elba Iron Works Department of the Oil Well Supply Company and the Amalgamated Associa tion. At this plant skelp iron is made, which la used In the manufacture of pipes and tubes. Bopairs at the plant wero com pleted abonta week ago. and all was In leadiness to resume operations. Wanted to Take Advantage of Clause 5. When the time came to sign the scale Manager T. B. Everson informed the Amal gamated Association officials that he wanted to take advantage of clause 0, added to tpe memorandum or'asreement, which reads as follows: "S. That mills -may make three tarns la il hours, when practicable." In addition Manager Everson stated that as a concern in this city bad signed the Amalga mated Association scale with a proviso at tached which allowed either party to cancel the agreement by giving 20 days notice, be also wanted such a elanse Inserted in tue scale before he would sign It To both of these propositions the Amalga mated Association flatly refused to consent. They stated that the clause allowing three ment that any concern bad been allowed the privilege of canceling tbe agreement by giving 30 davs1 notice. In order to convince President Weilio that he was right, Manager Everson procured a copy ot tlie scale with tbe condition named atcaohed to ft, and pre sented it to him. The name of the oonoern has not been- made pnblic, but that snoh a scale is in existenoe with this condition at tached to It cannot be denied. DeclJed To Startup Non-TJnlou. Being unable to arrange a settlement with tbe Amalgamated Association officials, Man ager Everson decided on Monday, Septem bers, that he. would startup witb non-union men. With this purpose in view he has in serted in the Plttsburz papers advertise ments for pud fliers, toughers, heaters and rollers, to which he agrees to pay Amalga mated Association prices. Manager Ever son feels confident that withlri a very short time be will be able to secure a full comple ment of men to run tbe milt, and in the fu ture it will be operated entirely Independent Of the Amalgamated Asjoolatlon. The fact that one conoeru has been granted a decided privilege over others in tbe sign- and the same privllego should be demanded by the other manufacturers that have signed the scale. In paragraph 4. added to the memorandum of agreement, it was 'stated that any manufacturer scouring concessions from the Amalgamated Association, and if such was proven, alt other manufacturers should be allowed to participate in these concessions wheie conditions were alike.

There is trouble in the steel mill at Uniontown between Amalgamated, and the other employes. The Amalgamated men had detirmlned to rid the works of all who acted as deputies for Sheriff McCormicfc in the coke stnte last year and have been workinar to that end. Tbe foremen have been asked to discharge the ex-depnties and the order has been partially complied with. It is claimed tliat llomestead strikers are tak ing the places of tbe men discharged. Some ot the ex-deputles are Amalgamated men and they are opposing the movement to dis charge their brethren not in the order, but these are in the minority and the majority talk of ordering a general strike unless their demand is complied with. The firm seems to know nothing about the trouble as vet. A Sew Furnaco Company. Application for a charter for the Boslna Furnace Company was made to the State Department at Harrisburg yesterday. H.

The guards fired on them ana pursued them lor soma aiswuoe, uui uu su;guuci in mas The Anatomical Society is about to make the annual division of the unclaimed dead which have accumulated during the sum mer months, to the three medical colleges of the State. The law which was passed in 1884 provides that all unclaimed bodies, coming from any source, shall be given over to the University of Pennsylvania Medical Department, Jeflerson Medical College and the Western Pennsylvania Medical College In equal numbers for the advancement of science. The anatomical societies have a doctor representing them in each district who sees that all the un claimed dead are taken to the institutions where they have means of preserving the. bodies by a pickling process. A common carrier is employed by the society for the removal of the bodies from the publio institutions. In this city the Department of Pnblie Charities telephone the carrier, who is Henry Meyers, when a death occurs and the body is unclaimed for 48 hours. He immediately comes with a coffin sud hearse and removes the body to the West Pennsylvania Medical College. The physioiana then inject a solution of arsenite of soda. The bodv is next placed in a large at, provided for the purpose, filled with saturate solutiou of brine. It is kept there until the opening of the colleges in the fall, when reports are received as to how many bodies they have on hand. How the Bodies Are Shipped. If it is necessary to ship any of the hodies away, they are removed from the vat and another injection is made with a mixture of arsenite of soda, plaster of paris, carmine and water. This material hardens in the veins and makes the body as desirable for dissecticg and lecturing purposes as if it had life. All the veins, arteries and mus cles are well filled and can be as readily distinguished as, irr life. A distribution is then made so that each college will have an equal number. The Eastern colleges usually collect more than tbe West Pennsylvania, but frequently, when the death rate is high at the Poor Farm, the college here has to ship bodies East, The average number of bodies on hand in Pittsburg at the begin ning ot the fall is 30. "The Anatomical Society and the law relating to the disposition of unclaimed dead is a great saving to the city," said Chief Elliot, of the Department of Public Charities. "Before their advent the city had to go to the expense of burying all the unclaimed dead, and I can tell you it was no small amount. Now, all we have to do is to telephone to the societies' carrier and he comes and takes the body away without any further expense to us, bnt to the great benefit of science. Some of the property which we sold some months ago to the Carnegie Company was the Poor Farm grave vard. Of course the Carnegies wished to build upon it and we were bound to remove the bodies that were buried there. It was no small or pleasant undertaking, as there were over 1,400 bodies lying in the cemetery. The Carnegies furnished the labor and dis infectants, thus saving the city considerable money. Great Danger From Poisoning. "We needed a larg e force of men as they could work only three hours at a time. It was a horrible piece of work. All tbe workers bad to wear rubber gloves and boots and then be careful not to get poi soned. Carloads of disinfectants were used, and even then it was a most pleasant place to be awav from. We do not require any graveyard' now and an event ot the kind will never again tare place. Dr. Thomas McCann says; "We pay from $10 to 15 for dead bodies and treat them with as much respect as possible. It is absolutely necessary to have bodies 'to operate upon in tbe colleges, and before this law was passed body snatching was a frequent occurrence. There ia no more night prowling about the graveyards by medical students, and bodv snatching is al most unknown. We receive most ot our bodies from the poor forms, jails and peni tentiaries, and always remove tbem in clean coffins, defraying all expenses attending their removal!" A great many of the hospitals bury all their unclaimed dead. Superintendent Cowen, of the West Penn, said: "We found that the expense of the burial of unclaimed persons was but a small item, so we have been doing it for years. There was a time when we gave bodies to the colleges. .We had a case where we sent a man to an East ern college, and after three months his friends came to get the body. We were placed in a very peculiar position, as it was impossible for us to produce it It had been used in the dissecting room.

A COOL EXPEESS HESSEHGEB Hides " Before the Contents ot His Safe Bobbers G-t Into His Car. GuTHBrE, O. T., Sept. 9. The 11:40 southbound passenger train on the Santa Fe was held up by train robbers at Wharton, in the Cherokee strip. At Wharton threo men mounted the engine and ordered Fire man Boss and Engineer Spoonangher to step down. Then they compelled Boss to accompany them to the express door, and told him to hatter it down. .When the first blow was struck on the door the express messenger fired through it. The fireman stepped back, but the men, with cocked Winchesters, aeain compelled him to con tinue work. "For God's sake, boys, don't shoot; they are making me do It," veiled, tbe fireman to the messenger, ana again nis blows fell on the door. It was soon battered In, and the robbers entered at once and broke open tbe 'safe, but it was empty. The express messenger had opened it while tbe door was being burst in and hid most of the contents. Fail ing to find booty the robbers paid their re spects to the larger safe, bnt found it im possible to open. Not being prepared to force it, they backed out and left, taking with them two boxes of grapes. No effort was made to rob the passengers. One of the robbers was stationed at the rear of the car and shot whenever a head, appeared at tbe window. Many shots were fired both by those around the express car and by the guard at the rear of the train. Russian Police RegriVatlong.
