The Story of the t’roposeti Compro
mise.
While the Morrison bill was under dis
cussion a great deal was said about a
proposition made by the protection Demo
crats to substitute a compromise meas
ure for that bill. Nobody seemed to know
much about the alleged compromise meas
ure, but some ol the protation Democrats
endeavored to create the impression that
it was so fair and just that if it had been
accepted by the tariff reform leaders it
would have met with general ap
proval. By #Ae of the Democratic
journals which lean towards protection
Messrs. Carlisle and Morrison were
severely criticised for not entertainin''
the proposition. The whole story of this
compromise business was told in our dis
patches yesterday, and it puts Mr. Ran
dall and his followers in a very unenvia
ble jtosition. it appears that the Randall
Democrats could not have entered into a
compromise if they had desired because
their Republican allies would not permit
them. The leader of the Republicans told
them that if they agreed to support a
tariff bill ol any kind the Republicans
would help pass the Morrison bill.
On the day on which the vote was to be
taken on the Morrison bill a few of the
protection Democrats proposed that the
Morrison bill should be dropped and a bill
whi<-h they had framed, the main feature
of which was the repeal of all the internal
revenue taxes, except the whisky tax,
should be substituted for it. They knew,
of course, that their proposition was not
practicable and that it was too late to
consider it. They were not even authorized
to speak for their faction. They thought,
probably, that by offering it they would
provide themselves with an excuse for
voting against the Morrison bill. They
have found out their mistake, doubtless,
by this time. Their excuse has not been
accepted by their constituents or by the
country. The fact is, the part that
Randall and his followers took in defeat
ing the Morrison bill was not creditable
to them. They played into the hands of
the Republicans and relieved them of the
necessity of facing a very disagreeable
dilemma. Had the tariff bill passed the
House the Republican Senate would have
had to pass it. or the Republican party
would have been placed in the position of
refusing to reduce the taxes when
the revenues of the govern
ment amounted to $100,000,000 a
year more than was-necessary to meet
the requirements of the government. The
Randall taction accomplished practically
nothing by defeating the Morrison bill be
cause the National Convention will de
clare for a tariff for revenue, and the
tariff will be the leading issue in the
Presidential contest. Now that the facts
about the proposed compromise are
known, it is to be hoped that the Itandall
ites will not continue to claim that they
attempted to harmonize the differences of
the party w ith a compromise measure. It
| would be more creditable to claim that
■ their agreement with the Republicans
| prevented them from doing what they
; would like to have done.
Prepare for tlie Kxposition.
There has not at any time been a doubt
about the success of the New Orleans Ex
position. and now that it is to be aided to
the extent <>f $1,000,000 by the govern
ment there is no reason why it shouldn’t
be a success. Those who are.managing it
are well qualified for their positions, and
are active, earnest and enthusiastic in
discharging their respective duties. There
is every reason to think that the Exposi
tion- will compare favorably with the
Centennial Exposition of l s Ttj in Philadel
phia. The commissioner for this State
appears to be thoroughly alive to the
responsibilities and importance of his
position. He is exerflng himself to
make an exhibit of the wealth, products
and resources of Georgia that will meet
the approbation and satisfy the pride of
h*-r jieople. Of course he must have help.
He can do nothing unless the people co
operate with hmi. He is ready and will
ing to d-> his part. Money is needed. It
is thought that it will be determined to
dt vote a part of the $1,000,000 received
from the government to assisting the States <
in preparing their exhibits, but the
am int from that source will not Ire suf
ficient. A plan has been suggested for
rosing the necessary means which, if
adopted, will not impose a heavy burden
on any county. As soon as the money is
provided the work of preparing the exhib
it ought to be begun. To get it
into shape will require a good deal of
time and a vast amount of labor. The
active and enthusiastic assistance of the
railroad companies can, of course, be de
pended ujion. They will share with the
state the benefits which will flow from a
creditable exhibit. There is no doubt
that these ls-nefits will ire great. The at
j tention of capitalists and home-seekers is
| now largely directed towards the South.
This section oi the South has as great ad
vantages as any other section. To have
them appreciated and utilized it is only
necessary to make them known. The op
portunity to make them known will be
unsurpassed at the New Orleans Exposi
tion.
A good deal has been said about the
value of the carp as a food fish. In order
to test the question, the Chairman of the
New York Fish Commission has made a
personal investigation, and his report ap
pears to be perfectly candid. A carp
weighing two and a quarter pounds was
taken from the preserve where it had not
been fed on artificial food and w as conse
quently not in the best condition. It was
boiled plain so that its flavor should not
be changed for better or worse. The con
clusion arrived at was that the specimen
tried was a fair food fish, not equal to our
native species but tar better than no fish at
all. The flavor was not at all unpleasant
although no condiments or sauces were
used upon it. Many persons in Georgia
have expressed the opinion that the carp,
classes A No. X among the food fishes,
\ while others have leen disappointed in
not finding it so good. There is possibly
no pond fish equal in flavor to those grown
in running streams. Bream, suckers and
perch grown in ponds are inferior in
quality. It may be safely assumed that
carp raised in ponds or streams where the
water is constantly changing are not in
ferior to the sucker or the bass.
The Nashville American, a strong pro
tection journal, by the way, is beginning
to see what tne position of the Republi
can party on the tariff question is. It
says: “The Republican party is the high
protection party, but while Republicans
are protectionists of every interest in the
[ States counted in the Republican column,
i they are actually free-traders as to the
i interests of States in the Democratic col
umn. lir i lstreet's says there is greater
unanimity among Republicans in favor of
a large reduction of the tariff on sugar
than as to any other article in tne tariff’
list. This is possibly due to the fact that
the protection which the tariff gives to
sugar benefits almost wholly the Louisi
ana sugar planters, and, as the Louisiana
Congressmen as a rule vote solidly with
the Democratic party on general issues,
the Republican managers assert that the
Louisiana Democrats are entitled to very
little consideration from the tariff lorces.
There w ill undoubtedly be a very earnest
movement among Republicans in favor of
a large reduction upon sugar. Some are
in favor of the entire abolition of the
duty.”
A company has been organized in New
Orleans for the purpose of erecting a
SIOO,OOO mill, which will manufacture
paper out of bagasse, or the fibre of the
sugar cane after the juice has been ex
tracted. Hitherto this material has been
a waste product of little or no value to the
planter, its removal in many instances
costing a considerable sum. Experiments
have proven that the bagasse paper is pe
culiarly adapted to the manufacture of
buckets, dishes, clapboards and
packing paper, besides making a fair ar
ticle of “news print.” It is expected that
the mill will be completed by the time the
present cane crop is harvested.
The call of the business men of New
York for a mass meeting to boost the
Arthur boom brings to mind the fact that
a few years ago H.e*e same business men
were urging the renomiuation of Grant on
account of the great financial ability dis
played by his administration. How do

The Situation in Spain.
The recent arrest and expulsion from
Paris of tbe Secretary of Senor Zorilla
with manifestoes which he intended to
distribute in Spain, shows that Alfonso's
crown is again in danger. Zorilla was
one of the leading spirits of the Republi
cans during the reign of King Amadeus
and one of the agitators that forced the
abdication ot that unhappy monarch. He
afterwards occupied a high position in
the republic, and since the restoration
under Alfonso has been an exile, but a
close observer of Spanish affairs. He re
cently issued an address, in which he
maintained that Spain could never look
for prosperity and peace under a mon
archial form of governm nt. and advised
the Republicans to proclaim that only
with the re-establishment of the republic
would the country enjoy order, morality,
justice and liberty. "Whatever may hap
pen in the future, ’’ he said, “in
a peaceful or an armed struggle,
the day of battle will be the
day of victory. Our motto will always be,
never to make a compromise with the
Bourbons.” Senor Zorilla ardently de
fended the military outbreak of last year,
and expressed confidence in the union of
the different factions of the Republican
party. He says the principal aims of the
Republicans will lie to establish civil
marriage, trial by jury, the abolition of
slavery, and the reconciliation of the col
onies to the mother country. He ex
pressed his belief that a revolution was
inevitable, and certain of success.
There seems to be no doubt that the
monarchy has a very slight tenure in
Spain. Only force can keep the Republi
cans in subjection, and they assert that
but for the unwarranted and harsh meas
ures adopted by the government in the
recent elections, the monarchy would
have already been swept away by peace
ful means. Oa the eve of tb election the
Ministry made the usual promise of .re
form, but the Republicans point to the
recent revival of vitality in the preten
sions of so unpopular a party as that of
the Carlists as an evidence that the gov
ernment has taken no effective step to
fulfill its promises.
sq far as Alfonso personally is con
cerned the outlook is gloomy indeed. It
is stated that in addition to the State
troubles his health is gone and that he has
strong symptoms of consumption. It is
doubtful if he will survive his declining
power. The army is very largely com
posed of Republicans, and only concert of
action and proper leaders are needed to
precipitate a revolt. If the elements of
opposition to the government are any
thing like as strong as they are
represented to be, it would be the part of
wisdom for Alfonso to follow the example
of Amadeus and allow t.he change to be
accomplished peaeeab’y. Should he not
do so, there are indications that before
many months shall pass Spain will be in
the midst of a struggle that will convulse
the country from Madrid to the farthest
frontier, if not result in the overturning of
the monarchy itself.
There are a good many people who
have confidence in Senator John Sher
man's judgment in financial matters. In
an interview, a synopsis of which appears
in our dispatches this morning, he says
that he does not believe that the country
is on the verge of a panic. He sees
no indication of a general panic.
The trouble in Wall street is clue, he says,
to reckless speculation. There is some
business depression, but the resources of
the country are ample and the condition
of affairs is not such as to invite a panic.
The situation is entirely different from
what it was in Sherman's judgment
appears to be similar to that of the best
financiers of the country.
It is said that there Is no mourning over
the death of the Duke of Albany tn
Cannes. In fact the lamentable circum
stance has proved a windfall for the
people of that town. The expenses of the
funeral will put more money in circula
tion there than six months of ordinary
business, as the English Government will
pay the bills. If reports are true the
undertaker who furnished the casket has
royal account for his melancholy ser
vices, and will realize quite a fortune if
he is fully paid.
If Gen. Grant would quietly settle down
to raising game fowls and hull pups he
might recover his reputation. It is sur
mised that his talent lies in that direc
tion.

Should Have Retired Him Earlier.
Detroit Free Press (Dim.).
Impatience with a Democratic Congress for
not hastening to put Grant on the retired list
hardly comes with a good grace from the
partv which had full lower for years to do the
same thing and wholly neglected it. As the
Boston Herald well says, “if Grant's political
friends had us:-d their efforts before to put
him on the retired list, instead of trying to
give him a third term as President, against
the traditions and prejudices of the country,
they would have been wiser.”
Rest to Let It Sleep.
Chicago Times (Ind.).
fliose who are in earnest about the reform
of our alKiminable tariff had lietter not give
the high tariff crowd another chane,e this ses
sion. for they are likely to take advantage of
it to abolish'the internal taxes or put them in
the course of speedy extinction, and thus not
onlv prevent immediate reduction of the tariff
taxes, but make it more difficult to reduce or
abolish them hereafter. It will bo quite as
well as any way for the Way, and Means
Committee to let Mr. Hewitt’s bill sleep for at
least six months.

Hitherto it has puzzled eminent surgeons
to account for sadden death caused by appa
rently inadequate wounds in the heart, such
as those made by the prick, without penetra
tion even, of a needle. Herr Schmey, a stu
dent of the Physiological Institute, Berlin,
has, however, just discovered that when a
nce<i!e pricks a certain smaU spot on the lower
border of the upper third of the septum cor
dis, quite instantaneously the movements of
the heart are arrested and forever set motion
less in death. “It is now the task of anatomi
cal investigation,” says Prof. Kronecker. who
verified the discovery of his pupil. Herr
Schmey. and communicated it to the Physio
logical Society of Berlin, “to demonstrate
with accuracy this vital centre, the existence
of which has been proved experimentally.’
A French physician, Dr. Mayet, has Just
published the results of his inquiries into the
nature of a singular malady known an ’‘vanil
lism,” which science has, it seems, lately added
to the sufficiently long catalogue of human
disorders. Bordeaux is the chief emporium
of Tanilla, some "9,000 pounds of that spice be
ing annually imported. The men employed
in cleaning and sorting it have long since been
known to suffer from a peculiar affection, of
which Dr. Lavet’s investigations have now
revealed the cause. Its symptoms are redness
and itching of the skin, often attended with
desquamation of the cuticle, and usually ac
companied with general malaise, lassitude
and giddiness. All the trouble is caused by a
minute white ararus which lives in the va
nilla. and finds its wav to the person of tho“e
handling it. Dr. Layet’s labors have not as
vet been crowned witti the discovery of any
cure for the new disease.
Boston merchants are rivaling one an
other in rather questionable advertising de
vices. A clothier removed all the goods from
his show window, and put in their place a big,
live monkey. For days the was
blocked with spectators, and policemen had
to be detailed to preserve order. The free
menagerie bacame such a nuisance that the
Mavor, deciding it to be in the nature of a
show, suppressed it as a place of unlicensed
amusement. Another clothier turned his
windows, which were very spacious, into a
wav works exhibition surpassing in horror the
objects in the crypt of the Eden Musee. Tins
drew immense multitudes, and, as some of
the exhibits were decidedly objectionable, tbe
proprietor achieved his object in being talked
about by the whole town. A third man at
tracted'attention more pleasantly. He con
verted the plate glass of liis store front into
immense mirrors, in which gazers simply saw
themselves more or less satisfactorily.
M. Octave Fecillet, in his recently pub

that there are alwajs new stories to tell.
Maurice <le Fremuse, in M. Feuillet’s new

the war of 1870, implores, as he is dying, his
friend and comrade. Koliert de la Pave, to
render him a very difficult service. Maurice
is passionately attached to his young wife,
who, he is grieved to think, may marry again
after his death; and he desire* Koliert to
promise that he will useevery exertion to pre
vent her doing so. Robert swears that he
Till, to the best of his power, earry out his
friend's wishes. The case turns out to be one
in which he will have no opportunity for ac
tion. The widow is evidently faithful to the
memory of her husband. But Robert is
obliged, by the nature of the trust he has un

THE WALL STREET PANIC.
Some Feature* of It a* Presented by the
New York Paper*— President George
I. Seney’s Career—Hi* Gift*—The Caue
of Hl* Failure—Facts About Grant Si
Ward.
The Wall street panic appears to be
about over and confidence is partially, if
not wholly, restored. At one time
(Wednesday), however, the situation
looked very threatening. One of the ugly
features of the day was the ruthless man
ner in which the names of banks were
bandied about. Scarcely a bank within
a radius of half a mile of the Stock Ex
change escaped suspicion, and incipient
“runs” were started in half a dozen in
stitutions that proved to be perfectly sol
vent. Depositors, each in a more or less
feverish state of anxiety, presented them
selves at the tellers’ windows of the 1 he
nix, the Union, the Wall Street and the
Gallatin National Banks, but they were
speedily reassured as to the soundness of
those institutions. Reports were in cir
culation about noon that “runs” were be
ing made on the Fourth National and
United States National Banks, but officers
of those two banks laughed the state
ments to scorn. President Baldwin, of
the first-named institution, said that his
bank was not only as firm as a rock, but
that there had not been an excited custo
mer inside of it during the day.
AMONG THE MANY EXCITING RUMORS
of the day was one that Jay Gould had
been driven to the wall and had been
obliged to open his famous strong box,
which he keeps in tbe vaults of the Mer
cantile State Deposit Company, for the
purpose of raising money by using all his
securities as collateral. -Mr. Gould had
been unable—so the story went—to raise
as much money as he needed on these
securities. Mr. G. P. Morosini, Mr.
Gould’s assistant, said that the report
concerning Mr. Gould was not true.
“If Mr. Gould has failed,” said Mr.
Morosini, with a pleasant smile and in
chariniug broken English, “I wish that I
might fail also, in the same way. He is
as solid as—what you call—rock.”
Mr. Washington E. Connor, Mr.Gould’s
broker, said the report was one of the
wildest and most absurd of the day. “He
has not borrowed a dollar,” added Mr.
Connor. “The securites were taken out
of the vault this morning, but they were
taken back this afternoon. That is an
every day occurrence, and is clone in the
usual course of business.”
IT WAS APPARENT THAT THE RECENT
FLURRY
in Wall street had frightened the de
positors of the Metropolitan National
Bank. The deposits have ranged as high
as eleven millions of dollars. The last
statement showed that they had run down
to a little over three millions, and within
the past few days there had been heavy
depletions. The bank had become in
volved in the heavy operations of Nelson
Robinson & Cos., whose checks were large
ly certified and not made good on Tues
day. Mr. Robinson is a son-in-law of Pres
ident Seney, and two of Mr. Seney’s sons
are partners in the firm.
But the most serious matter presented
was the embarrassment of the President,
George I. Seney. who is largely connected
with many railroad enterprises. Last
summer Mr. Seney was the holder of about
$1,0t,000 of East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Railroad income bonds, which
cost him and the other members of the
syndicate about 40 cents on the dollar.
They are now selling for about 15. The
bonds have been as high as. 73, and Mr
Seney had great confidence in them. They
constitute a large part of the assets of the
bank. When the demands of depositors
and other creditors became pressing, it
was, of course, impossible to realize any
thing on 6uch assets without a ruinous
sacrifice.
Some of the Directors, among whom
were Isaac H. Bailey, were loth to sus
pend. and up to tbe last minute urged the
possibility of obtaining aid from other
banks.
MR. SENEY AND HIS ENTERPRISES.
The bulk of the responsibility for the
failure of the bank was on all sides placed
with President Seney. He was born at
Astoria, L. 1., in 1826. and was the son of
a Methodist clergyman who occupied sev
eral pulpits in this city, including the
Mulberry street and Allen street churches.
His grandmother was a daughter of Com
modore Nicholson. One of his aunts was
the wife of Albert Gallatin. Mr. Seney
was educated at Wesleyan Universitv
and Columbia College, and was graduated
from Columbia in 1847. He was
made paying teller of the Metropol
itan Bank in 1847, and cashier five
years later. On the death of John E.
Williams he was made President, and
since h£ reached that position his will has
been really the law of the bank. Mr.
Seney negotiated what is known as the
Nickel Plate Railroad enterprise, and is
said to have realized about a million and
a half out of his sale of it to the Vander
bilts.
GIVING A FORTUNE AWAY.
Then he loomed out as one of the mil
lionaires of the metropolis, and about ten
years ago astonished even his most inti
mate friends with his princely gifts to
various educational and eleemosynary in
stitutions. He began with a gift of $ i,obo
to the Long Island Historical Society, and
followed it up with valuable books and
manuscripts. He gave $1,500 to the Young
Men's Christian Association Gymnasium,
ami $”7,000 to the Wesleyan University at
Middletown. Conn., where he received his
early education. He gave sixteen lots in
Seventh avenue. Brooklyn, and s2oo,oooin
cash for the purpose of constructing a
new hospital, which is not yet finished.
His total gifts to the Long Island Histori
cal Society amounted to $62,000. Ifo gave
s2o|ooo to the Industrial Home in Butler
street, $50,000 to a Emory Coliege in Ox
ford, Ga., and SIOO,OOO to Wesleyan Fe
male College at Macon, and other benefac
tions. most of which were unsolicited.
In explanation of these gifts, he said he
regarded them as “hostages to the Lord;”
that he found it better to give than to re
ceive: that he took pleasure in parting
with half a million dollars in this way ;
that he preferred giving In his lifetime to
waiting until death for a bequest which
might be defeated by a contest over his
will. He used to talk of the bad effects
upon a man’s disposition or hoarding
wealth, and took’ pride in saying bis
gifts did not go to the idle, the dissipated,
or the undeserving.
Yet at the time most of these gifts were
made, while many who had long known
him were surprised at these unexpected
evidences of wealth, others who knew
something of his real situation, and the
immense resources required by his exten
sive enterprises, remonstrated’ with him.
He was warned that he could not afford
it; that he might get his affairs into seri
ous complications. But he replied with
great ardor and enthusiasm that he could
well afford it, and that it was bis right
and pleasure to do what he chose with his
own. lie at the same time disclaimed
any desire for notoriety in the matter, and
did not give ostentatiously, but rather
quietly. lie prided himself upon being
governed by business common sense in
his gifts.
MR. SENEY’S HOME AND WAYS.
Mr. Seney lives in the splendid mansion
built by J. S. Rockwell, on the crest of the
hill opposite AVSII street ferry in Brook
lyn. His neighbor across tbe street is A.
A. Low. The house, which was fitted up
at great expense as a model in sanitation,
proved fatal to Mr. Rockwell, and after
his death it was discovered that the man
sion was actually ventilating a great
sewer. Mr. Seney, since purchasing it,
has added to it an art gallery, containing
tbe choicest collection of paintings in
Brooklyn. He was a domestip mau, re.
ticent in habit, and was but little known
by sight in Brooklyn. Like Ferdinand
Ward, he was an attendant of the Church
of Pilgrims. The persuasiveness of the
Rev. Dr. R. S. Storrs was potent in open
ing his purse strings, especially for ad
ditions to the book treasures in the Long
Island Historical Library, ot which he
was a most liberal patron, buying
classics, enzravings, and rare things
w hich connoisseurs recommended to him.
lie was for a time so systematically lib
eral to charities that one of his bright
daughters once said to him: “Papa, I wish
I was a charitable institution,”
Mr. Seney rarely gave where his
charity was’sought. He refused to notice
begging letters, and when his name be
came famous and women wrote to him
threatening suicide if not aided, and
young girls threatening sin if not as
sisted, he gave orders to have his mail
winnowed of such letters, and for years
this has been systematically done. His
first noteworthy benefice, which was to
the Methodist College in Georgia, \\as
prompted by a sermon preached by the
Rev. Dr. Hagood Upon a reconciliation
between the North and South. Mr. Seney
sent for I)r. Havgood, and told him that
in his opinion the usefulness of a man
who could preach a sermon like that
should l>q incfeqscd. and made him a
large donation for his school.
Mr. Seney possesses a powerful frame
and great energy. IJe is swarthy in com
plexion, and his’ dark eyes flash even in
repose under the shadow of heavy black
eyebrows. His lull beard does not con
ceal his firm and energetic cast of fea
tures. He is almost habitually alone.
THE CAUSE OF THE FINANCIAL WHIRL
WIND
was discussed extensively and from
many stand-points. Cool-headed and
conservative bankers reviewed the
situation in their back offices, and
in most instances drew encouraging
conclusions. Bluff “Uncle Rufus’’ Hatch
walked through Wall street and smiled
beuignantly upon everybody. “This thing
was inevitable,” said he, “but I think we
have seen the worst of it. There is likely
to be a healthful reaction. I have got SUK>
in the bank with which to come in on the
upward turn.” James R. Keene and his
friend John Pondir walked slowly up
Broadway arm in arm, “I seem to
have company,” said Mr. Keene, “and
misery loves company. If I were to
venture any opinion at all, I should say
that better times would follow.” That
yesterday’s panic was the culmination of
the persistent liquidation that has been
going on in VTall street during the past
two years was very generally believed:
The extraordinary depreciation of securi
ties, it was argued, bad left the country
in ipuch better shape to cope with a
financial panic than it was in either 1869
or 1673. Figures were cited as follows:
The present total capitalization of the rail
roads of this country is $7,320,409,461. The
highest market value of quotable stocks
and bonds since July 1,1881, was $5,664,-
471,755. The market value of the same
securities in March, 1884, was $4,478,951,-
574, showing a depreciation of $1,185,-
520,181. The process of liquidation
received a strong impetus in the
collapse of the Northern Pacific securities
last fall. Since then the most strenuous
efforts of such men as Vanderbilt and
Gould have been required to keep the
market braced up. The financial down
fall of James R. Keene, a fortnight ago,
seems to have acted as the entering wedge
for the present disruption. Distrust and
fear was aroused in financial circles by
the ugly circumstances attending the sus
pension of the Marine Bank and the failure
of the firm of Grant & Ward, and utter
demoralization was caused by the alleged
defalcation of President Eno, of the Second
National Bank, and the consequent em
barrassment entailed upon the firm of A.
Dyett A Cos.
AFFAIRS OF GRANT A WARD.
The facts seem to show that the firm of
Grant fc Ward did very little legitimate
business. The nearest approximation
that Mr. Davis, the assignee, has l>een
able to make to the condition of the broken
firm was that it o#ed $12,449,537 50
for moneys borrowed on collaterals and
for stocks borrowed. $1,289,807 34 to de
positors of money, $227,223 88 tor balances
on stock transactions, and to general
creditors, including the Marine Bank,
$534,902 32. 11c had a general idea that
the value of collaterals held by creditors
was $10,000,000 or $12,000,000. The total
liabilities, so far as he had been able to
ascertain, were $14,501,531 04. The unse
cured indebtedness of the firm would
therefore be in the neighborhood of $2,000,-
000 or $3,000,000.
WARD AS A WITNESS.
Ward was on tfie witness stand Wednes
day. lie produced a check book showing
enormous payments of moneys since
March, 1883. and receipts under these
made out to J. Nelson Tappan, City Cham
berlain, W.S. Warner, ex-Mayor William
R. Grace, James D. Fish and others.
“I)id Gen. Grant know anything con
cerning such transactions as these?”
“No, sir. The receipts were never en
tered in the books of the firm. 1 kept an
account of them in a little memorandum
book of my own. ‘Profits’ were at the
rate of 20 per cent, per month and amount
ed to $20,000,000. Some of the certificates,
I admit, represent fictitious values and
moneys never actually received. Mr.
Warmer represented other persons, among
them J. Henry Work, the partner -of Mr.
Davis. The only thing received for con
veyances to Warner was a package o(
these certificates.”
A memorandum of the moneys received
by the witness, for which be gave certifi
cates, had been given to Mr. Davies. As
he had received moneys the witness had
put the sums down on this paper, and as
he had paid them back he scratched them
off.
“Was Mr. Work interested in those
transactions?”
“He was: I cannot tell to what extent.”
Lawyer Bangs asked Mr. Davies, who
was p'ftsent, to produce the paper re
ferred to, but the latter said he had never
seen it; he had only heard from Mr.Ward
of its existence within a day or two.
“One or more of the receipts given to
Captain Spicer acknowledges the receipt
of money from him to be invested for him
in some' contract; what was that con
tract ?”
“There was no contract.”
“What did those words mean in the re
eeipt„‘to be invested in a contract?’ ”
“That’s all they did mean.”
“They did not mean anything then?”
“No, "sir.”
“You did not invest in any contract?”
“No, sir.”
“What did you do with the money?”
“It went into the bank, that’s all.”
“Among your deposits?”
“Yes. sir.”
“Had you ever any contracts personally
or as a member of your firm with the
Government of the United States?”
“Not that I know of.”
“No contracts for anything?”
“Not that I know of.”
“Did you invest in any particular thing
the money received from the parties to
whom you delivered these certificates?”
“No, sir.”
After Mr. Ward had testified for a long
time, he looked as if he was likely to break
down from sheer weakness. His face
bore a deathly look, and the lawyers were
evidently startled. Mr. Bangs.’ who con
ducted the examination for the prosecu
tion, was on the point of asking him a
question, when he noticed his condition.
He said:
“Mr. Ward, you are ill, I think, and
anyhow you do not appear to be well
enough to go any further to-day; suppose
we suspend the remainder of your exami
nation until some other time?”
Mr. Ward’s weary countenance relaxed
into a weak smile, and he assured the gen
tlemen that it was only a question of a
short time when he would break down
altogether. He was then excused and
went to his office.

WHAT STRUCK AN OLD SOLDIER.
“It will soon be twenty years since tlie war
closed. ’’
Under the hot sun of August, 1882, the Til
lage of Dover, N, J., lay still as the sphinx in
Egypt, while Elijah Sharp, of that place,
slowly and softly spoke of the past. “Yes,”
he said, "I was in the array and saw many of
the sights of those fearful years. I was finally
discharged from disability, resulting from
sunstroke. I came home, miserable in health
and spirits; so enfeebled that 1 took cold on
the slightest exposure. Life seemed worth
less to me; I lived only in memory.”
“That was sad enough,” I said, dividing my
last two cigars.
“That’s-so,” responded Mr. .Sharp; “hut I
got over it. Outgrow iff Sot exactly. When
in that condition 1 began taking I’arkkr’s
Tonic, and my health commenced tft improve
right away. 1 was astonished at >t. and so
