Tiie Brethren a.’ Anla Tke r Differ ences of Ta i <1 y and Lwell la Unity—Mr. Atkinso i Explains His Reference to t'ne Primitive Method lets, But the liatt3r Pay No Attention to Him- Washington, Oot. 10.—Rev. F. W. Bourns, president of the Bible Methodist church of England, ocoupied the chair at the beginning of the ninth day's session of the Esumenieal Methodist conference. The subject of Methodist federation, which was adjourned from yesterday, was taken up, and after the reception of salutations from the Presbyterian synod of Virginia, and resolutions of sympathy with Bishop Gaines of the African Methodist Episcopal church, Rev. Dr. Waller of England, rising to a question of privilege, disolaimod any intention of reflection in any way upon Dr. Stephenson in his remarks yesterday. Dr. Buckley of New York said that the Americans present did not understand the English methods of ruling, and the English delegates did not understand the force of a "point of order” in American legislative practice. These misunderstandings might account for the friction in yesterday's pro ceedings. He then addressed him* -If to the subject of Metaodist unity, as presented in tee report made by the committee on fed ration upon the resolutions introduced by Sr. Snap of Liverpool, and seconded by Rev. Dr. Morgan Harvey of London. Dr. Hugh Price Hughes earnestly advo tr.ed the adoption of the committee’s re port. THE REPORT AGREED TO. After a few remarks by Rev. Dr. Arthur totiaselling moderation aud by Dr. Stephen ionexpressing bis regret that anything had occurred yesterday to grieve his friends, the Primitive Methodists, for whom the Wes- Iryaus had most hearty respect and affec tion, the question was put on the adoption of the report and it was agreed to unani mously amid applause. The business com mittee reported the following resolution: “The conference expresses its devout Ihankfulntfs to Almighty God that through the growing influence of Christian opinion the contagious dis eases acts have been abolished in the United Kingdom, but deeply regrets that such immoral legislation is still in force in various other parts of the world. The conference further declares Its earnest hope that Christian sentiment will Bon make such immoral legislation everywhere impossible; and, further, the conference records its strong conviction that men of notoriously immoral life should not be allowed to occupy places of publlo trust and authority.” Cpon motion of Dr. Hughes of London the resolution was adopted without debate. Ice committee also reported a resolution, which was unanimously adopted, strongly urging the abolition of British legislation which sanctions the production of opium. ATKINSON EXPLAINS. Mr Atkinson, member of parliament, ris ing to a personal explanation said he had TOken in parliamentary terms yeserday. He would not make any explanation under iuress and when somebody held a pistol to it* head, but now he would say that when le had yesterday talked about Bible Chris nus and Primitive Methodists he had ipnfeen ns he had often before when he pre stal over meetings of those bodies and [r.ve of hir substance to aid them in Eng and. In that country he should have felt legraded t. have to explain that he bad al rays gone hand in hand with all the Hethodist bodies, and had the highest re tar l for all of them. One of the Primitive Methodists arose and tho grateful appreciation of the aiegntiou to Dr. Stephenson for his kindly vords, but failed to notice Mr. Atkinson's although the latter inquired if his ■oriisUd not been kiudly meant. ■ SOCIAL PROHLEMS.

Tele conference at this point took a reosss until 7:30 o’clock to-night. At the evening session a paper ou the sub ject Of Methodism iu the heathen world was read by Rev. W. J.

Washington, Oot. 16.— President Harri son has collected some of the data for his message, but ho has not really begun to work on it, nor will he do so until after Nov. 3. One reason is that he wants to see how the elections turn out before he formu lates his recommendations about the tariff and the silver questions. If, for example, Maj. McKinley carries Ohio by a large ma jority, the President would lav emphasis on the McKinley end of the McKinley bill. If he should be defeated he would lay emphasis ou the Blaiuu end of that measure, in either event claiming credit for himself and his administration in connection with it. He would, of course, have no difficulty iu identifying himself with high protection and fortify his position with the figures furnished in the campaign document recently prepared by the treasury bureau of statistics. In claiming credit for the results of .Secretary Blaine’s effort to get reciprocity, so-called, he would point to the reciprocity agreements as negotiated or to be negotiated undor his personal direction. RESURRECTION OF THB FORCE BILL. The only thing beyond the usual review of the work of the departments upon which the President seems to have absolutely de termined is another recommendation for the resurrection of the force bill. On this ques tion neither the voice of the people, the action of congress, bis own observation dur ing his tour, nor any other thing seems to have made any change in bis opinion. He recognizes the fact that a recommendation that a force bill should be passed by the next oongress is futile, but he proposes to make it to express his opinion. The other reason why he delays the message is his un certainty as to Secretary Blaine’s condition and Secretary Blaine's return. The Sec retary of State is the only mem ber of the (cabinet?! who makes no annual report, instead he usually prepares the opening paragraphs of the President’s annuul message relating to foreign affairs. Until the President kuows whether Secre tary Blaine can or cannot nominally or actually perform this customary otfice be cannot well prepare the first part of his message. Of course as to all negotiations since Secretary Blaine left here last spring the President, who has been acting as Sec retary of State, is much better prepared to act than Secretary Blaine. But courtesy forbids that he should act on that fact just now. A LIGHTSHIP ADRIFT. Sha Was Stationed at Winter Quar ter Shoals, off Virginia. Washington, Oct. 10.—The lighthouse board is informed that the schooner Drift, which has been used as a lightship at Win ter Quarter shoals, Virginia, while the reg ular ship is being repaired, is adrift, and that the efforts to And her have been so far unsuccessful. While it is supposed that she did not get adrift before Monday or Tuesday cf this weak, there is no actual information at hand that she was at her station after 9 o’clock last Friday night, when she was sighted by Capt. Marsh of the steamer Fairfax, of the Merchants, and Miners’ line. The weather at the time was good and the lighthouse officers are confi de it from this fact that she was on her sta tion when the United States steamer Dis patch went ashore six hours later. PURCHASES CF SILVES. The Government to Stop Buying Now Until Nov. 2. Washington, Oct. IG.—The amount of silver offered for sale to the treasury de partment to-day was 810,000 ounoei and the amount purchased was 130,000 ounces at .9640c@.9G450. The purchases of silver bullion at local mints during the month aggregated 343,000 ounces. The director ot the mint to-day an nounced that the government haying pur chased the full amount of silver required by law for the current month, no further pur chases will be made until Not. 3 next.

CAMPBELL'S CAMPAIGN. Third Party Cutting No Figur3 in the Democratic Counties Cleveland, O , Oct. 16.—A special to the Plain Dialer says : “Gov.

Before his appearance on tbe scone t ledemocratio leaders feared there would he a loss of vot-s on account- of the third party movement.

SAVANNAH, GA„ SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1891. lIARTINGTON TO LEAD. BALFOUR DOES NOT WANT THE POSITION. The Conservatives Congratulating Themselves That Goachen is Not to Be the Man—Pamir Incident—The Fight of the Irish Faotions—The Proposed Methodist Federation. (.Copyright, 1891, by the ft. Y. Auociated Pre>. ) London, Oct. 16. The conservatives have been prematurely jubilant over having escaped the leadership of Mr. Goschsn in the House of Commons. Telegrams re ceived from Mr. Balfour denying that he had been offerod the leadership leave an impression of his re luctauce to take the lead. Behind Mr. Balfour's ostensible reasons for not taking the lead of the party, be doubtless is influ enced by a feeling of aversion to have bis early period of leadership signalized by the oomiDg decisive defeat of the party. No one having even casual contact with the government ministers can escape the con viction that the forebodings of grand disas ter at the next general election fill their minds. The indecision of the Mar quis of Salisbury, due to the extreme grav ity of the internal situation, the dissensions among the conservatives and liberal union ists on the eve of the elections, hopelessly damage the position of the government at the present moment. THE NEXT LEADER. The Marquis of Salisbury appears to have been driven back upon the Marquis of Hurtington, from whom he has a specific pledge to assume office if a condition of affairs arises imperiling the coalitiou. Lato to-night a report prevailed in government offices that the Marquis of llartington had induced the Marquis of Salisbury to make a definite offer to Mr. Gosohen before calliDg him to take the burden of responsibilities he had hitherto shirked. The comments of the official organs of French and other European governments on Mr. Gladstone’s announcing at Newcastle his intention to move an order for the evacua tion of Egypt awoke the liberal leaders to the prospective dangers arising from the declaration. James Bryce, member of parliament, as the next liberal un der foreign secretary, was put up yesterday at Aberdeen to declare that the literals would not scuttle out of Egypt any more than the torlee. England was under solemn and reiterated engagements to only with draw her troopß when this could be done w'th safety to the progress and prosperity of the oouutry. The foreign otfioe denies the Russian re ports that the Pamir question will be set tled through the delimitation commission. No power has conceived nor made a pro posal to England, which it is unlikely she would entertain. Pierce Mahoney, speaking at a meeting of the followers of Mr. Parnell at Dublin to-day, was greeted as the now leader. He railed at Messrs. Dillon aud O’Brien. A year ago be revereaoed them next to Mr. Parnell; he now despised them from the bottom of his heart. Mahoney is a mere figurehead. He is a poor speaker and has no known gifts as a tactician. The seotion has but three men or proved parliamentary ability—Messrs. Redmond, Leary and John O’Connor. The first named has be come the actual leader. The oxasperations of the factions increases daily. Mr. Hcaly is specially marked out for detestation. His utterance recorded during the Kilkenny contest about Mr. Parnell, ‘*l will drive him into his grave or the lunatic asylum,” is reoalled and largely made use of. METHODIST FEDERATION. The feeling of the Washington ecumeni cal conference toward a union of the churches has not the entire sympathy of Methodists here. The proposed conference for bringing about a union of the Method ist bodies of England and America will not be opposed, but a number of members of tbe London Wesleyan oounoil are doubtful on the early proba bility of organio union. Toward tbe approaches of the non-conformist council for closer relations, the Wesleyan council, in session this week, gave an abso lute refusal. The non-conformist council sent to the body a letter urging joint aotion on leading social questions. The Wesleyan committee, however, declined the invita tion. Mr. Spurgeon has returned to London in better health. He intends starting for Men tone on Tuesday next. THE WORLD’S FAIR COMMISSIONERS. James Dredge and Sir Henry T. Wood, of the royal commission to represent Great Britain at the world’s fair to be held at Chicago, have prepared a draft of a report eulogizing the prospects and arrangements of the fair, and urging wide and active par ticipation iu the exhibition by the people of Great Britain. Tbe exportsfrom Bradford to the United States for the month of September show a decrease of £323,546 as compared with the returns for the same mouth in 1599. Tbe new American tariff is proving ruinous to the trade of Bradford, and the markets of other countries do not come to the rescue. Despite tbe asstiraaoes that th 9 new Rus sian 1 inn was much over-subscribed, its price fell to-day at the London sock ex change from tbrae-sixteenth* premium to one-quarter discount. At Fans also it was u a small discount. Banks holding the issue find it difficult to dispose of. GEM. LkE’A Di’ATH. Gov. Kinnoy Sands a Telegram of Con dolence to Mrs. * ee.

His Slayer Telia the Story of the Killing. Mobile, Ala., Oct. 16 —The particulars of the killing of Dr. Seymour Bullock, a prominent ex-federal soldier, at Navy Cove yesterday, by T. P. Brewer, are as follows: For some time bad blood had existed between the two men. This origi nated from a petty quarrel. Brewer tells the story of • the fatal affray. He learned that Dr. Bullock had threatened to kill him on sight, and accordingly kept out of the doctor’s way. Thursday he went fishing and took his gun with him. Dr. Bullock was reported to have left Navy Cove and gone soma miles up the bay. Brewer was fishing, when suddenly there was a flash of a gun, and bullets whistled aroun l his head. He looked up aud saw Dr. Bullook seme distance off about to fire again. Then Brewer dis charged his weapon, a double-barreled shot gun, with fatal effect Four buckdiot struck Dr. Bullock and be died instantly. There were no witnesses to the affray. Dr. Bullock’s body was brought here to-day and will be interred (Sunday with military honors. A HORROR ON THE GIBBET. The Rope Breaks and the Condemned Man Falla to the Floor. Red Wood Falls, Mtnn., Oot. 16.—A dreadful scene was enaoted this morning at the execution of William Rose. The pris oner was awakened at 4 o'clock, ats a boarty meal, heard the death warrant with great coolness, and mounted the gallows with a firm step.

There was a dull crash and the rope parted three feet from the uejk. Without a word belnj; spoken by any one the iimn body was picked up, carried on the plat form and laid down face upward upon the readjusted trap. A second noose which dangled from above was pulled down, adjusted quickly and the trap was again sprung without any attempt to raise him to his feet. Then en ued the slow pro cess of strangulation. The trap was sprung the second time at exactly 5 o’clock. A SIBAMEHM BOILER EXPLODE?. Three Men Killed and Five Others Feverely Soaldad. Port Townsend, Wash., Oot. 16. About midnight last night the boiler of the steamer Evangel, plying between here and Whatcom,* exploded killing Gus Carlson and William Biggs, deck bands, and Julius Flint, a fireman. Five others were severely scalded. The boiler tore its way from the bottom of tbe hold, carrying everything away forward and above. The pecuniary loss is about j 10,(1)0, with no insurance. The vessel was intended for a missionary boat and was built about teu year* ago by the pennies of eastern SundMY school ohildreu. The project was undertaken by a missionary society anil collections were taken throughout the east for the purpose of raising fuuds.

WILLIAM O'BRIEN ANSWERS THE PARNELLITKa A Cry That Dillon and Ho Hounded Parnell to Death Brings Out the Statement —A Letter From Parnell Written at the close of the Bou logne Conference. London , Oot. 16.— 1 t has heeu intimated for some days past that William O’Brien was preparing a statement or mamfesto in reply to the recent Parnellite defiances which have been scattered right and left by the leaders of that party. Mr. O’Brien’s statement is given to the publio to-day. lie writes: I have waited since the funeral, hoping that the late Mr. Parnell s leading supporters, know ing my relations with Mr. Parnell at Boulogne, would have the manliness to disassociate them selves from the diabolical oharges circulated broadcast by their special organ, that Mr. Dillon aud myself hounded their leader to death. Now are the councils of peaco cast to the winds; now have the foulest insinuations os to our treatment of Mr. Parnell become part of the machinery of dissension-mongers without a word of repudia tion or lebuke from the meu who k mw the charges to lie the foulest, most ungrateful and iniquitous ever leveled at an Irish nationalist. PS KRILL'S KEIIRKMKNT WAS lIEMANUEU. My countrymen will agree with ina that r am absolved from all obligations of silence iu re gard to the conference at Boulogne. The uuulterable basis of alt the cominuuicatimis with Mr. Parnell at Boulogne was first and last his retirement from the leadership I broke off communication with him afser the first Inter view until I was Informed by Ids oilier lieuten ant that he would entertain the proposal 1 invito Mr. Parnell's representatives to publish their (locuuieuts ooucerning the Boulogne negotiations. We kept three objects in view: First, that it was impossible tiiat Mr. Parned could continue as chairman of the parliamentary committee. Seoondly, to soften the memory of Mr Parnell’s fault by every possible palliative and ev.derice of good will that his devoted ocllcatfuet could •utfKost. Thirdly, toavert the calamities which wo keenly felt to be iuseparaUs from any disruption of the forces Wo were fully persuaded that these objects would have been attained had the terms we suggested b -en loyally accepted and the party would theu have been reunited uuder tho leadership of Mr. McCarthy, leaving .Mr. Par nell an honorable place In Irish public life. PHOFKSSIONS or PAHKELI.'n LIEUTENANTS. Mr. Parnell’s four most Influential lieutenants professed themselves to be as eager as ourselves to secure Mr, Parnell's withdrawal, either on these terms or bv reunion under the leadership of Mr. Dillon. These same men are now silent whilst their organ charges them with plotting to get rid of Mr -Parnell. They themselves pressed me to consent to Mr. Parnell’s first proposition, which was that he should retire in favor of myself and at the close of the negoiiations they repeated their conviction that it would have solved the difficulty had I consented. Mr. Parnell’s own feelings as to my treatment of him are explained iu the following letter written tome on the day we broke off negotiations: “Frbboary 11, 1890. “My Dear O'Brien: “t desire to express to you how deeply I feel the kindnesi and gentleness ol spirit shown by you through the negotiations. 1 have felt all along that 1 bad no right to expect from any body constunt anxiety to meet my views. The intense desire that all proposals claiming your sanction should be as palafalile as possible to me have so distinctly appeared in the com munications which have passou between us I know that you have forgiven much roughness and asperity on my part, and that you havo made allowances for some unreasonable conduct from me, which to anybody gifted with less patience and conciliation than yourself, would have been most difficult. I appreciate Intense y the difficulties which surrounded you during thane negotiations, the constant daily anxiety, which would have been overwhelming to any body possessed of less o urage and devotion than yourself. I fervently hope and be lleve that the prospects of Ire laud are not so dark as you fear, and after a little time, having passed through the clouds and darkness, we shall again stand on our former footing, when in happier days wo were comrades in arms In behalf of Ireland. Dearest O'Brien, lam always yours, Cbahlis 8. Pabnki.l.” Mr. O’Brien concludes: Thus closed the Boulogne communications with full recognition that we parted as honor able opponents. ENGLAND’S GALE. Its Fury Renewed After Another Lull and More Damage Done. London, Oct. 10.— Twice during the past forty-eight hours has the fierce storm abated in fury only to be renewed with in creased force. This morning's dispatches aunouuoe the gala blowing with even greater severity than before in the Irish sea. Many of the storm beaten, wave battered ves els. which during the two days succeeded in making some harbor of refuge, stopping to repair damages, propara'cry to resinning their voyage, are now reported to be labor ing so heavily under the force of the renewed gale tint they are drag ging their unchors and fouling and damaging each other, and a number of them are in danger of going ashore.

London, Oct. 10—A tenement house caught fire this incroiug early iu tbe dock district of London, known os Mill wall. The Are originated in th# lower part of the liouso with tbe result that the rickety, wooden stairs leading to tue upper flours were almost immediately burned away, thus cutting off escape by that means of a number of Inmates of the home. When the firemen reached the spot they found the building in a mass of flumes, and learned tnat there were still several people on the upper floors. With commendable prnmpt n ;ss tbe firemen made several gallant at tempts to reach the eadangeped people, but all such efforts were repelled by the volume of flumes which poured out of the lower windows, and wbicu wero fast eating their way upward. At last, when tbe tiro was finally subdued sufficiently to enable the (irouaii to mount to the t p of the c.tarred tenement, they found the b idi-s of an old •woman, ag-id TO years, a young woman, and three childreu, ail huddled together as they bad fried to escape f.ora the suioke, which suffocated them.

BLAINE ON THIS M’KINLBY BILL. Ho Tries to Belittle the importance of a Significant Utterance. New York, Oct. 16.—An Ohio editor having written Secretary Blaine that demo cratic papers wore parading him as an opponent of the MoKinlcy bill, he replies as follows: , , Acocsta, Mk„ Oot. 14, 1891. John H >dley, Kq. t Editor of the Journal, Bucyrut , 0 % : Mv Dear Sm—You Inform me that a demo cratie paper in your town and many democratic pacers throughout Ohio keep the following par agraph standing in type: “But there ts not a section or hue in the entire bilUMoKinley tariff), that will open anew market for another bushel or wheat or another barrel of pork.-James U. Blaine to Senator Frye, July 11. 1890." Ihe sentence _m garbled and taken from Its proper connection. It creates a wrong impres sion What I did say is the following: “Ido not doubt that iu many respects the tariff bill pending in the senate is a just ir-asur© and tiiat most of its provisions are iu accordance with tiie wise policy of protection, but there Is net a section or a liuo in toe entire bill that will open a market far another bushel of wheat or another pound of pork," The letter in which tills paragraph occurs was written to Senator Fry* July 11, 1890, and the McKinley bill did not become a law- until < let. 1, nearly three months thereafter In my letter to Senator Frye 1 objected to the bill because it did not contain a reciprocity clause, whloh would provide a market for wheat and pork and other products of the farm and for various fabrics. Before Hie bill was finally passed the reciprocity clause was inserted and a large addition woe made to the free list. It will, therefore, be seen, from what I said In my letter, that the objeotl >n which I made to the McKinley bill was entirely removed before the bill became a law. Dot me further say that the reciprocity cliSUsehas given ample market for many barrel* of flour and many pounds of pork. Brazil, some mouths since, entered Into a treaty bv whioa many American articles are admitted free. Flour Is mads free, and pork Is admitted at a nondeet duty. Cuba and Porto Klco have re flucr and the duty ou flour from $5 80 a barrel to $1 (which give* us a market), besides putting nearly 100 articles of Amerioan production ou the free list. San Domingo has made a reel procity treaty with flour and pork upon the free list, besides a large number of other artl des. Other treaties for reciprocity are in progress. Germany, without negotiating a formal treaty, has removed the prohibition on pork, and our government, in consideration thereof, lias left her Sugar on tho free list. Tins opens to im an entirely now market, and $15,000,01X1 to $30,000,00,1 of American pork w ill bocousurned per annum where not a pound has been taken for ten years. The reciprocity provision Is proving vry successful, especially in farm products, aud more particularly in the case of the two articles mentioned In the paragraph quoted, flour and pork. I am not. therefore, an opponent of tho McKinley bill, as the demo cratic papers of Ohio are constantly alleging. On the contrary, I have cordially supported it ever since it was perfected by the Insertion of tho reciprocity clause. Very respectfully youn, Jambs G. Blaine. LAVBLLB A DEFAULT3R.

Iloey’s elevation to a trusteeship, vine prosidenoy and presidency is then referred to. In all these positions, be says, Hoey occupied a fiduciary relation to the com pany and had ointrol of the fuuds and assets. It is alleged that prior to March, 1883, Hoey, either individually, or in con nection with other persons, acquired an Interest in the business of the Now York and Boston Dispatch Company, the Kins ley Express Company and the Union Ex press Company for $73,095, the full value ao that time of the interest purchased. On that same day he sold and transferred this Intbrest to the Adams Express Company for $350,000 and in his official capacity caused this sum to be transferred to himself aud others out of the funds of the Adams Ex press Company, and by so doing appro priated $376,905 out of the $550,0U0 to his own use and that of others In the fraud ou the rights of the Adams Express Company, and iu violation of his duties as an officer ami trustee. This sum has boon wholly lost to the Adams Express Company. the hbcoNd scoop. Mr. Lovejoy ooptinues that prior to March 1", 1888, Hoey. oitner Individually or in connection with others, acquired the re maining interest in the three specified com panies for $8i),(K)0, which was its full value at that time. On Maroh 19, 1888, Koey sold it to the Adams Express Company for $500,000, p lying that sum to himself and other* while acting in a fiduciary oapaoity, tbu* appr printing $430,000 of the $.500,000 to his own use and that of others ill fraud of the rights of the Adams Express Company. For these reasons it is claimed that there is now due the Adams Express Company from the defendant the sura of $696,905. AN OUT-AND-OUT STEAL. It is alleged by Mr. Lovejoy that when Isaiah C. Baboock, former tron urer of the Adams Exptox Company, died in 1885, ha was indebted to the company for about $16,000. In order to discharge this in debtedness Babcock’s admiuLtrator gave Hoey, in hi* cauaci’.y as an olioer of tho company, $10,045.

Said Hoey. says Mr. Lovejoy, appropriated said sum of $16,045 to his own use and in fraud ot the rights of said Adaaig Express Company. By roason of ail these facts Lovejoy says cause of action exisrs against Hoey nnd tha jfilaintiff is entitled to recover $719,750, with interest on $376,905 from Marah 95, 1883; on *490,000 from March 19, 1888, and ou $16,045 from Feb. 1, 1886. serving attachments.

Hoey could not be found in tho city, and the deputy sheriffs could not serve tbe summons upon him. DHIVEN TO SUICIDE BY LCBBE9. Irvin* A-*Evans of Boston Blows Ou* Bis Brains Suncook, N. H., Oct. IB.—lrving A. Evans, a son of Hon. Alonzo Evan* of Bos ton, committed suicide this morning by shooting himself at the summer residence of Brice L. Evans in Allentown. HAD LOST ON STOCKS. Boston, Mass., Oct. IB.—lrving A. Evans, whose suicide is reported from Suu ooolc, N. H., is a well-known State street banker and broker, and is a son of Alonzo H. Evans, president of tbe Five Cents Savings Hank, and largely interested in financial Institutions in Boston. Tbe suicide has created considerable ex citement on the, street, but anx ious inquirers at tbe office of Irving A. Evans & Cos., in the Fiske building, found tbe offioe dosed and no one lu authority willing to talk about the mat ter. It it a fact that Mr. Evans has been losing money on both sides of tbe market for some time, and bos become embarrassed. TOO rKOUD TO ASK ASSISTANCE. Hu personal and professional prido was nucb, however, that he would not tell of b e troubles or ask aeiistance; and tome little time ago he temporarily retired from active participation in the work of the firm and went to New Hampshire to “rest.” It is understood that Mr. Evans’ liabilities will be met by connections of tbe firm and that there will be no failure. All the banks, It is said, have at least 20 per cent, margin on their loans to Evans & Cos., and the balance on contracts in Loth New York and Boston exchanges will show a surplus for the firm. Mr. Evans has of late been so despondent over bis losses in the stock market as to have been mentally unbalanced. TWELVE LOST AT SEA. Tbe British steamer Walviston does to tbe bottom.
