MEADVILLS, Dec. clap of thunder from a clear sky could not have created a greater degree of excitement than the announcement this morning that Belamater '& Co., ■ had made an assignment tor the benefit, of their creditors. As early as 7 o'clock the rumor of the as signment wae on the streets and spread like wildfire. Not a tew treated the matter as a huge joke and some even olfered to wager large sums of money' that the story was without foundation. When the hour of 9 o'clock arrived a number of men stood at Water and Chestnut streets and all eyes were 'turned toward tl - e door of the Dela mater banking house. Anxiety be came intense, and when the ban'k j door did not open as usual it dawned 1 upon the mmds of many' that the i rumor was true. Soon after 9 1 o'clock the following notice wns j posted on the window on the Chest nut street side of the bank : Bank closed. Delamater & Co., 1 have made aa assignment for benefit j of creditors. V. M. DELAMATER, Cashier. Dec. 5. 1890. COMPOSITION OF THE FIRM. The firm of Delamater & Co., bankers, is composed of George 8., George W. and T. A. Delamater. The assignment was made to Geo. W. Haskiiis and John O. McClin tock, composing the law firm of llaskins k McClintoek. Each of the membero of the firm also maKes an individual assignment, covering all their property real and personal. Prior to the assignment judg ments were entered against the tirm and the individual members for $115,000. Of these judgments $40,000 is in favor of the .Mer chants National Banks f„r redis counts. That is, the Merchants National has taken $-10,000 of the best paper of the firm of Delaruater & Co., and rediscounted it. The same bank has also entered judg ment for $21,600 against the bank ing firm, $4,700 against the father nnd T. A. Delamater, and $5,000 against George Wallace Delamater. There is also $15,000 entered against the firm by the Senator's brother-in-law, Thomas S. McFar land, and SG,OOO against the firm by the Senator's wife, Mrs. Mary Delamater. Other small judgments bring the total amount up to the sum named. There are also judg ments against Victor M. Delamater, a younger son, who was cashier of the bank, but wot a member of the banking firm. The president of the firm is George Wallace Delamater, late Re publican candidate for Governor. He is also a director of the Mer chants National Bank, of Meadville; president of the company and own er of the controlling interest in the Meadville and Lincsville Railroad, president of the Meadville Fuel Gas Company and connected with other local enterprises. It is known tha* Delamater & Co. were bondsmen for County Treasurer H. M. Miller and James L. Swickard, treasurer of the Board of Control of the Public Schools, and that the county funds, $47,000, and the school funds are deposited in their bank. COUNTY AND STATE MONEY VOLV ED. Under the circumstances it is likely the county will have no more chance than a general creditor. The Stale has abont SIIO,OOO on deposit with the Delamaters, but it is said that the bond of security will pre vent any great loss. No official statement of the liabilities has been r-R'le, but an outside estimate places llwi deposits at %'MX),OOO and the • total nt *IOO,OOO. Scarcely a family i in the city is*not aflected. The assets consists of notes due. the Delamater block, a Very large ami valuable piece of real estate without incubrance, the residences of the three members of the firm, their interest in the Meadville and Lines ville Railroad and the Conneaut Lake Ice Company, besides stocks and bonds and several thousands of acres'of wheat lands in the Red River Valley of North Dakota. Appointment That Will Be Made By The Next Governor. W hen Governor Pattison goes in" to office he will have two or three good paying offices at his disposal ond quite a small number of small ones, the salaries of which range from S3OO to §3,000. The best pay ing offices the Governor has are the attorney generalship, and the secre • tary of the commonwealth. The former receives a salary of $3,500? but the fees of the office make it worth, in the estimation of leading lawyers, anywhere between $16,000 to SIB,OOO «. year. The salary of the secretary of the commonwealth is only $4,000 a year, but he also re ceives fees which brings his Ralary up to about $12,000 or $15,000 per annum. Either of these officers is better paid than the governor, who receives a salary of SIO,OOO and no fees. i The other offices which the gover , nor has the power to fill, together t with the salaries attached, are as follows • Adjutant General $2,500 Superintendent public instruc tion 2,500 Insurance commissioner...... 3,000! State librarion 2,500 t Private secretary to governor. 2,500 I Executive clerk 1,500 i Assistant to executive clerk.. 1,200 ! Messenger I,2<H) I Page 300 Night watchman 000 Factory inspector 1,500 j Eight bituminous mine inspec tors each 2,000 Seven anthracite mine inspec tors each 3,000 PHILADELPHIA APPOINTMENTS. Harbor master $2,500 Health officer 2,000 Port physician 1,200 Lazaretto physician 2,500 Quarantine master 2,000 The Governor has almost twice as many more appointments, but they are nearly all to positions of honor with no salaries attached, among them being four members of the State Pharmaceutical Examining Board. The present board is com posed of Alonzo Robins, Philadel phia; A. B. Burns, Montrose; H. B. Cochran, Inncaster ;F. 11. Eg gers, Allegheny City, and A. J. Tafel, Philadelphia. Each member receives ¥5 a day and expenses for each day he is actually employed. The Governor also appoints mem bers of the Stute Board of Health, State Fishing Commissioner, State Board of Charities, managers of the Danville, Warren and Harrisburg Hospitals for the Insane, etc. Democrats make a break for nil ap pointment. Sullivan county should be recognized. I The end of tMe Hall murder trial Lycoming county was reached Fri j day and a verdict of murder in tiie ! second degree was rendered by the 1 jury. This, under the evidence, was as far as the jury could possibly go, HUCI the verdict is received with some disfavor by those who conti ; dently expected the acquittal of the ! prisoner. The fact that the prisoner iu his testimony stated that he aimed the blow with the club, and killed at the right aim of the dead man and struck him about the left ear likely worked against the prisoner more than any other thing. The jurymen by their verdict seems to have been anxious to make the verdict man slaughter, but could not bring themselves to do it.— Ex. 1) Utill O lIE ITEM Will McUenry, of Wilkes-Barre, is visiting relatives in Dushore.

Club, a dramatic society, which was recently organ ized with the object of establishing a library in view, did themselves credit in executing the play, "The Turn of the Tide" in the opera house on Friday and Saturday evening The play had been advertised for but one evening, but the audience was so 'well pleased that it was con cluded to reproduce it the following night at which time, notwithstand ing the inclement weather, there were quite a number present. We are informed that the receipts net ted nearly thirty dollars. The same play will be presented at IJernice 011 Thursday evening and Lopez on Saturday evening of this week and we trust they may be greeted by a good attendance. Facahaccs. ES TELL A ITEMS.

The Grange or Patrons of llus bandy is one of the most, successful organizations yet organized for the ( protection and elevation of the farm er. It is only within the hist few years that the farmers have thought of organizing themselves. Cut the time has come and is now at h*nd when farmers see the need of union for the purpose of at least in some degree, fixing the price of the pro ducts of the farm. At present the merchant of a coun try town charges his own price for all that he sells and also fixes the ! price of all produce bought of the farmer. This is Weithei just nor right. Away with middle men in both buying and selling and the ordinary agricuturist would receive from thirty to fifty per cent more money for his product. An organization of this kind should be instituted in each town ship. At present there are but two ! granges in the county, one at Colley which has been in successful opera tion for many years and a new grange just establised at Estella, and known as the Elkland Grange. It is of this new grange we wish to speak a few words. Though organized with only thirteen members in Oc~ tober last, they now have twenty - one members, a hall well furnished and seem to be prospering in every way notwithstanding a number of old fogies who are doing all they can to break up the organization.' Their main argument seems to be j that 110 organization is good that has secrets. Let us state here that all the secrets of the grange amount to nothing further thart to protect themselves from being imposed up on by unscrupulous persons Every family has its secrets every church has meetings at which the public are not allowed to attend, why then should any one oppose an organization of this kind which is purely for the purpose of protecting, elevating and educating the farmer.
