BELAMATER'S STORY
Of the Events LeadlDg Up to. the
Failure of His Rank.
HE WAS ENGAGED IN POLITICS
And Did Not Know Much About His Busi
ness Affiitrs Then.
A KOT GUILTX PLEA DISALLOWED
Meadville, Sept. 3a At the qpening
of court this luorning the defence tuoVed for
a verdict of not guilty in the cases of G. E.
and T A. Delamater, which was refused.
G. W. Delamater .a sworn and testified as
to the value of the assets of the firm and its
individual members. The Delamater block
liad cost $149,000 and had a rental value of
85,000. Thft total assets, according to the
valuation pi Delamater, was 51,127(450. The
witness said lie only had a general know
ledge ot the business of Delamater & Co.
, during 1887. "68, '89 and '90. He had always
' estimated his, property as being amply
Mifficicnt to meet his obligations. He be
lieved at the time in 1890 that the bank
that Is, the partners taking together was
j'erlcctly solvent.
Before the failure the witness was en
paged in politics and business enterprises
in other cities. He was also in the State
Senate. From the 1st of April until the
election the witness spent less than ten full
days in Headville. At the time of the fail
ure, G. W. Delamater was out of town and
returned in time only to eign the assign
ment papers He had no knowledge of the
assignment nntil he returned to Meadville
on the morning of the assignment, Decem
bers. In the week of the failure the wit
ness deposited 5150,000 in the bank of the
Dfiamaters.
Mr. Delamater said he had tried to do
the best he could for creditors, and made a
written proposition to them. In the mean
time he, With his lather and brothers, had
been arrested and indicted. He saw that
the creditors were losing confidence in him.
He had no recollection of saving to the
committee of the creditors that the liabili
ties were 51,000,000 or 51,250,000, bnt he did
say abont ?S00,000. The purpose of his
meeting with the creditors was settlement
and the avoidance of the sacrifice of the val
uable property. 'Witness did not make oat
the list ot depositors and the amounts due,
which had been given to the creditors, but
he believed it to be correct He said that
G. B. t and T. A. Delamater had never had
anything tc do in the bank actively. He
said he believed the 558,000 due to the Phil
adelphia Finance Company was good to
day, and would be paid.
The defense produced a number of certifi
cates ot deposits which had been paid be
fore they were due, to show that detendants
had no knowledge of their insolvency. The
testimony will close to-morrow.

THIS PHTSBURft
A WONDER
OF THE AGE.
All the prominent druggists are now sell
ing Bbeumaeura as a standard article of
their trade, although It has been but a short
time on thB market, Its ftiinar use, for over
nine years, having been confined to the pri
vate practice of the prominent physloian
who originated It. In hundreds or cases or
rheumatism, gout and lumbago It has never
failed In a single instance to beneflc the pa
tient, giving immediate relief trom pain and
wholly curing the disease if given a fair
trial. As an example, a gentleman, whose
unsought testimonial is eloquent with
thanks for the boon or restored health, cer
tifies that he suffered terribly with rheu
matism lor 25 years, which neither medi
cines nor the baths or Hot Springs, Mt.
Clomens or Los Vlgas would relieve, bnt less
than a bottle of Bhcuniaeurn, which he be
gan taking on the 19th of Nov., 1891, freed
Elm from pain, and he has never felt a
twinge of the rheumatism since. "From Its
action in my case," he says, "I consider It
one or the wonders of the age."
