Berlin, November 22.—[Copyright,
1890, by New York Associated Press. 1—
The bestowal by Emperor William of the
Grand Cross of the Order of the Red Eagle
upon Prof. Kocli was gazetted tonight.
This is the first time that tliis decoration
has been bestowed upon any one who did
not possess the pit ceding classes of the
order. Though confidence in the ultimate
value of Prof. Koch’s discovery does not
abate, the public disappointment over the
immediate results of the treatment grows
daily. Prof. Koch’s assistants, Drs. Levy
and Carnel, and others, estimate the num
ber of cases already treated ,.t
about 1,700. The greater num
ber of these were suffering from
exterior tuberculosis, and are progressing
finely. There were comparatively few
cases of tubercules of the lungs. Experts
are beginning to concur in the opinion that
the cure of tills disease by the treatment is
uncertain. Prof. Koch disclaims respon
sibility for the statement put into his
mouth in regard to his experiments. He
blames the press for raising exagger
ated hopes of instant benefit in
every form of tuberculosis. Pro
fessor Virchaw, speaking in the
Medieinesche Gesalbehaft, referred to
the subsidence of enthusiasm, but de
fended Prof. K0M1 against the charge of
prematurely publishing his discovery.
Prof. Koch, he said, only consented to the
disclosures already made at the request of
Minister YonGosshler aud several of his
medical colleagues, Drs. Virchaw, Levy
and Bergmann. Every one in Prof.
Koch’s confidence supports his protest
against the sensat’onal anticipation re
garding the result of the remedy.
Professor Stellwav, of the Vienna
University, addressing the students,
advised them to be cautious in their ex
pectancy, believing only what Prof. Kcch
lias directly stated. “So far,” added Slell-
way, “the possibility of the cure of lupus
alone has been proved, while it lias not
been scientifically established that lupus
arises from the same bacilli that is asso
ciated with lung tuberculosis.
An eminent authority on bacteria, Dr.
Ullman, writes: “It will take fully a year
of frequent injections, besides treatment
under right sanitary conditions to
enable one to form a reliable opin
ion as to tlie curability of consumption,
either in the advanced or in tlie early
stages." Dr. Ullman worked for several
mouths in Professor Koch’s laboratory.
He believes the remedy promises good re
sults in cases of external tuberculosis, al
though be says relapses must be guarded
against.
Dr. Surycki, reporting to the medical so
ciety of Cracow, which sent him here to in
vestigate, declares that even the cure of
external tuberculosis by the new process
is uncertain, while he says there is no
ground for believing that it will cure con
sumption in any stage.
Dr. Kraus, of Vienna, affirms the bene
fit of the remedy for tuberculoses of the
bones, skin and joints, but does noi be
lieve it will ever heal lung troubles. Dr.
Krauz was in attendance here for several
weeks, testing the experiments.
Profs. Fraentza and Runkurits, in their
latest report, confirms the opinion
that injections do not ma
terially check advanced phthisic.
They do, however, check early phthisis,
but bacilli may revive and reinfect the
tissues. The opinions of a number of
other experts—German, English and Aus
trian—all of the same tenor, are becoming
knowD, and tone down the excited public
expectation. Not many English or Ameri
cans have come for treatment. A number
of patients have already left, tinder the
urgent advice of physicians not to risk the
severities of the Berlin winter, but to
await the use of the remedy under better
climatic conditions.

Washington, November 22.—Attor
ney-General Miller today instructed the
United States Marshal at .Jacksonville,
Fla., to use all endeavors to capture R. E.
Buford, charged with the murder of Dep
uty Marshal L. E. Strange, and has au
thorized all expenses that may be neces
sary to secure that end. The Attorney-
General has also authorized the United
States Marshal of the Southern district of
Georgia to offer a reward for the arrest of
Rich Lowry, suspected of the murder of
Col. Forsyth, agent of the Dodge estate in
Georgia. The latest information in regard
to Lowry is, that he is making his way to
North Carolina, with a view of joining the

SAND DOLLARS.
Paterson, N. J., Nov. 22.—About 8:25
o’clock this morning fire started in the ex-
texsive silk mill of Bain ford, Bros., on
Cliff street, and the mill was soon totally
destroyed. The fire communicated to the
handsome residences of Joseph and Waiter
Bamford, which adjoined the mill, both of
which burned to the ground. The loss is
placed at $400,000; insurance $200,000.
The lire originated in the engine room,
from some unknown cause, and, fanned by
a high wind, quickly spread throughout the
mill, rendering the efforts of the. firemen
powerless. The :!00 employes in the mill,
among whom were a number of women
and girls, were for a time panic-stricken,
but all of them, it is believed, escaped un
injured. Many, however, bad narrow es
capes by jumping from the second-story

FOR THE UNITED STATES ROLLING STOCK
COMPANY.
Chicago, November 22.—The United
States Rolling Stock Company, having a
large plant at Hegewich, was last night
placed in the hands of a receiver. The
liabilities are given at $2,819,000, and the
assets at $(5,000,000. Attorney J. L. High,
of tlie company, says the failure was pre
cipitated by slow collections and the de-
| pression in tin* money market. This com-
i pany is one of the largest, if not the larg-
j est, builders of railway cars in the world,
i and has plants at Hegewieli, 111., Decatur,
| Ala., Anniston, Ala., and Urbana,
j Ohio. The capital stock of the
! company is $4,000,000, of which
| $2,500,000 is paid up in cash, and $500,-
! 000 is in stock not yet issued. The assets
I of the company consists of the shops,
; yards, real estate and machinery at Hege-
| wich. which originally cost $1,400,000,
I apd which are now claimed, by reason of
j the advance in real estate values, to be
I worth at least $2,000,000; its shops and
| works at Anniston, which cost $700,000:
I its plant at Decatur, costing $500,000; its
j shops and works at Urbana, $180,000, and
timber lands in Alabama $40,000. All of
| these properties, it is claimed by the com-
I pany, have greatly enhanced in
j value, the figures given being the origi
nal costs. The further assets of the
company are: Car trust bonds, $1,522,000:
rolling stock leased to various railroad
companies, $200,000; supplies and material
in process of manufacture, $1,100,000; out
standing accounts, good and collectable,
$300,000. making the total assets $(>.000,-
000. The liabilities are: Six per cent de
bentures, unsecured, $870,000; 5 per
cent debentures, secured by $1,000,000 car
trust bonds as collateral, $870,000; 6 per
cent bonds, secured by first mortgage on
real estate and the works at Higewich,
$250,000 ; 5 per cent consolidated
bonds, secured by first mortgage on
all the company's shops. yards,
and property, except the Hegewich plant,
and by second a mortgage on the Hege.
wich property, $1,000,000; bills payable
for material, supplies and current expenses
maturing within ninety days, $500,000;
bank loans maturing within a short time,
$200,000; miscellaneous accounts, $00,000;
making the total liabilities $2,810,000.
The excess of assets over liabilities is
$2,237,000. James L. High represents
the. company, and in speaking of the
affairs to-day, said; “The company has
in its employ at its various works 2,200
men. It has been obliged to pay cash to its
employes and for material to the extent
of $000,000 monthly. The present strin
gency in the money market has compelled
the companies which have bought cars of
the Rolling Stock Company to pay their
bills in long time paper instead of cash,
and it has been extremely difficult to dis
count the paper.’’ Mr. Roys, in his bill,
states that he fears that unless a receiver
is appointed, some of the creditors of the
Company may attach the property
and thereby gain unjust pref
erences. There are abundant as- j
9ets to pay all debts if a little time j
is allowed tlie company. Judge Bloodget |
immediately appointed A. Hegewich re- j
ceiver. Hegewich is the president at pres- j
ent and has been for nineteen years. Tlie j
judge also ordered the receiver to continue f
the works and not let any of the plants j
shut down. Hegewich gave bond in i>500,- i
000, with \V. P. Rend as surety.
The Rolling Stock Company is owned j
principally by English capitalists, Hege- j

stockholders. Most of the creditors are j

CHICAGO MARKET.
REVIEW OF THE GRAIN AND PROVISION
MARKETS.
Chicago, November 22.—There was a
lively upturn in the speculative markets
and substantial advances were maintained
at tlie close.
Wheat opened quiet but firm at about
the closing figures of the previous day.
May wheat changed hands at the start..
On the first start from 99 5-8 to 99}, but
quickly advanced to $1.00. December was
in good demand, but sellers of that future
eoukl not at times be found when want
ed, and from this cause, buyers being im
the majority, tlie difference betweea
it and Slay narrowed to about
tijc, which spread was maintained
during the greater part of the ses
sion. The price gradually advanced until
May sold at 100}, and it had reacted to
about. 100if at the time of the failure of
the Rolling Stock Company was sprung
upon the trade. Tlie price tumbled at once
to 99}c. There were too many shorts wait
ing for a chance to cover to allow the de
cline to go very far, and the reaction
of their buying was as quick as the de
cline which preceded it. It very soon sold
as high as on the first advance, and during
the remainder of the day there was one
course to the tendency of the price, and
that was an upward one. For some time
Slav fluctuated between 99} and 100}, but
upon several turns of the bullish interest
the market became rather excited, and
May advanced to 100} and December 94}.
The same nervousness which prevailed
among those having short wheal was no
ticeable among the corn speculators. The
price at tlie opening was about }c higher
than it closed on Friday afternoon. May-
started at 53. There were some sales
at 52}, and it worked off from
53 to 52}. The fluctuations were
for some time confined to the range al
ready given, but when wheat became so
very strong corn sympathized. There was
a decline to 52 5-8 on the Rolling Stock
Company’s failure, but the recovery was
rapid. The latter half of the session saw
an advance of 1} from the lowest point.
Oats were fairly active, stronger and
higher, and aft**r an advance of }, the mar
ket closed steady at almost outside figures,
with a net gain of } to 5-S.
Pork was fairly active and prices some
what irregular. The opening sales were
made at 74 to 10c advance, and then a re
action of 5c followed. Later, prices rallied
10c, and a reduction of 15c was submitted
to. At this decline the shorts bought mod
erately. and prices were advanced 20 to
25c, which was fairly well supported to
the close.
Lard was moderately active. The open
ing sales were made at 5c advance, and a
further appreciation of 24 to 5c followed,
with moderate trading. Later, prices re
ceded somewhat. Toward the close prices
rallied and closed quiet.
Short Bib Sides—Rather a good busi
ness was transacted and prices ruled irreg
ular, within a moderate range. The own
ing sales were made at 24 to 5c advance,
and a further improvement of 5c was
gained. Later, prices receded 5 to 74c,
rallied 5 to 7}c. closing steady.
