Tlie Boston Transcript has discovered
that people in tho habit of leaving
newspapers and packages on tho top of
street letter boxes cannot expect tho aid
of the United Stales in punishing pur
loiners. Packages so left arc not depos
ited in tho mails within tho meaning of
tho law, and stealing them is no offense
against the United Stales statutes. It
is, of oourse, an offense against the laws
of the Slate wherein it is committed,
and the local police must be looked to
for tho arrest of the purloiners.
The Boston Transcript says: 1 ‘There
is one man in St. Louis who appreciates
the law’s delays. His name is Dier
bergev, and in May, 1S83, ho deliber¬
ately shot nnd killed a man in a horse
car. Ou his first trial he was promptly
convicted of murder in the first degre*.
The supreme court reversed the judg¬
ment. There was a new trial and ho
was sentenced to twentv-five years’ im
prisonment. The sentence seemed too
severo to Dierherger. H - appealed, got
a now trial aud was sentenced to ten
years in prison, But even this conces
lion did not satisfy him. One day ro
ccntlv the case was t...,en up on his
renewed appeal, and was compromised
on one year in jail and $1,000 fine. Let
others speak slightingly of the law’s
delays, Dierherger will always say
they saved his life."
The Indian population of the United
States is increasing slowly. Not in¬
cluding Alaska, the Indian population
on reservations is 2fi4,599, of which
81,309 are mixed bloods. It appears,
by the 1TS7 Government statistics, that
for that year there were 4,794 births
and 3.8SS deaths, leaving an increase of
ouly one-third of one per cent. Ol
course this varies on different reserva¬
tions, as in New Mexico the increase
was over two per cent, But it is ob
lerved that, wi.h this one exception,
where the Indian population is com
paratively large, as m the Indian Terri- .
torv, Dakota, Montana, IVashington,
Arizona and California, there is little o.
no increase. The education of Indian

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
ENCOURAGING REPORTS FROM R. G. DUN
<fc CO. FOR THE PAST WEEK.
R. G. Dun & Co.’s review of trade foi
the week says: Changes in the business
world duriug the week, though but
slight, have all been in the right direc¬
tion. There is a little better movement
of products, some improvement in crop
prospects, particularly in cotton, and
with more confidence and sTengthinthe
stock market, an l less chance of a dis¬
turbing withdrawal of specie for Europe.
In manufactures, all changes are in thc
direction of improvement, and reports
from the interior indicate a volume of
trade exceeding last year’s, and, on the
whole, steadily increasing. Of all cities
reporting this week, scarcely one notes
dullness in trade. The glad news that
the coke strike has ended, removes the
apprehension of closing many irou works
in the Pittsburg district. Prices of iron
and manufactured iron and steel had been
advancing. With steady improvement in
the reports of food products from the
Northwest, wheat has declined about
| on sales of only 8,000,000 bushels at
New York, and corn £c. on sales of
5,000,000 bushels. Oats are nearly one
cent lower and hogs 10c. per 100 pounds.
In oil there is an advance of }c., and in
coffee prices have been lifted J of a cent.
Sugar is nominal, with 8£ cents, attainable. quoted
as above any bid at present
The stock market has been strong and
advancing, and money quoted in ample supply the
for commercial use is at about
usual rates all over the country. During
the week the treasury took in one million
dollars more than it paid out, but mer¬
chandise exports from New York for the
week were nearly 30 per cent, above last
year, with an increase of about 20 per
cent, in imports. The average prices of
commodities have slightly advanced.
Business failures throughout the country
during the week number, for the United
States, 104; Canada, 35; total 201,
against 210 last week.
A HEAVY FORGERY.
A MINNEAPOLIS LAWYER USES IIIS CLIENT’S
NAME TO THE TUNE OF $227,000.
John S. Blaisdell, one of tho oldest
and wealthiest Tuesday,discovered ci'izens of Minneapolis,
Minn., that forgeries
to the amount of $227,000 had been
committed in his name. The forger is
a young lawyer of that city whose father
is also wealthy and prominent. Blais¬
dell had befriended the young man iu
business transactions, g.-ing so fur as to
indorse his note for $15,(00. The young
man made the indorsement the basis for
a systematic series of forgeries, reaching
tbe sum above mentioned. Mr. Blaisdell
discovered the forgeries merely by acci¬
dent. He at once charged the young
lawer with the crime, the latter con¬
fessing in the presi nee of several wit
nesses. The forger’s friends at once
took steps to hush the matter up and an
arrangement w'as made whereby the en¬ be
tire amount of the forgeries was to
paid over to Mr. Blaisdell in considern
tion of bis not prosecuting tbe young
criminal. But on Wednesday, however,
matters assumed a different ph: ISO. The

AN EXCITING SCEN^^|
A BALLOON BURSTS IN MID-AIR AND
CRASHES TO THE EARTH.
At Mount Holly, N. C., fair ground,
Friday afternoon, Professor tbe W. American K. Perry,
the celebrated aeronaut of
Balloon company was to have made his
marvettms leap to the earth after ascend¬
ing to a height of three-quarters of a
mile, decending by aid of a parachute.
When the balloon had traveled upwards
about seven hundred feet tlie crowd dis¬
covered that it was bursting, gas could
be seen shooting out, and s >ou the can¬
vas cloth begin to drop. As Professor
Perry was holding on under the pur«
chute, he was not aware of his terrible
situation. The crowd became frantic
with excitement. Yells went up and
I'istols were fired to attract the man’s
attention, but all of no avail.
Soon, however, all the gas and air in the
balloon was exhausted, and it began to
fall downward. It was too late to
loosen the parachute from the wrecked
balloon, but for some distance it was
successfully engineered. The balloon
causing the parachute to capsize, all
came down with a terrible crash to the
earth. The unfortunate man was taken
from the wreck in an in.-ensible condi¬
tion. Many of his bones were broken,
aud his recovery is very doubtful.

municated at once with the directois.
Allen confessed his guilt without much
urgiug. He was engaged in the iron
business outside of his connection with
the company, he said, and became inter¬
ested in some inventions, one of a patent
fire escape, tbe other of a clothes post
system for use on tbe roofs of bouses.
Both promised well, but tlie officials of
the bureau of buildings refused to allow
their use, and tbe scheme fell flat. Allen
became embarrassed, and, to relieve
himself, took blank certificates of rail¬
road stock, filled them out with his own
name, or that of some other person, and
hypothecated the bouua shares in various
bonks. He thinks that he has
scattered seven hundred shares or
so shoot In that way, and bor¬
rowed about $125,000 or $130,000.

WASHINGTON, 0. C.
MOVEMENTS OF THE PRESIDENT
AND HIS ADVISERS.
APPOINTMENTS, DECISIONS, AND OTHEB MATTERS
OP INTEREST FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Secretary Nobie received a telegram
on Chairman, Wednesday, from Charles Foster,
dated Fort Gates, announcing
the successful completion of the Sioux
commission.
The trea-urcr of the United States has
issued instructions, subject to tbe con¬
venience of the treasury, to the assistant
trea-urer of the United States at New
York, to supply notes and silver certifi¬
cates of small denominations to banks
ordering them in sums not less than
$ 1 , 000 .
President Harrison, on Saturday, made
the following appointments: Samuel J.
Phillips, of North Carolina, commis¬
sioner on the part of the United States
under the Venezuela and United States
treaty concerning the adjustment of
consul to"Toronto^ fed G.“f
a U (fit*wi Ct ° f COiumbia ’ consul-general
Lieut. John C. Irvine, member of the
class under instruction at the torpedo
station, scandalous Newport, conduct, has been charged with
druukenes3 on duty,
neglect of duty, aud absenting himself
from liis post without leave. A c.-urt
martial has been detailed to try Lieut.
Irviue on these charges, and it will con¬
Thomas vene at Newport on Wednesday. Capt.
O. 8 1 fridge is president, and
Lieut. J. V. B. Bieeker judge advocate.
The report of Captain Shepard, com¬
manding the revenue steamer Hush, in
regard to the seizure of the British
staler, Black Diamond, which was mailed
at San Francisco, in July, has just been
received at the Treasury Department.
Acting Secretary Batcheiior refuses pos¬
itively to give it to the press, but admits
that it confirms substantially the news¬
paper reports concerning the seizure, lie
says further, that as the question seems tc
have assumed political importance, he
preferred to do nothing whatever in the
matter without Consultation with Secre¬
tary Windom.
The Western Union Telegraph Com¬
pany claims that it has the better end of
the present controversy with the govern¬
ment. The telegraph officials say that
under the terms of the agreement be¬
tween them, certain rates have to be
fixed annually, subject to acceptance of
all the companies expired interested, 30th and that
agreement on the of last
June, and that no contract between tbe
government and the companies is now in
existence. They are, therefore, in no
hurry to bring about a settlement of tbe
pending controversy, for they propose to
charge tbe government telegraphic full commercial
rates for all business
transacted by them since the first of
July. During the absence of the Presi¬
dent and the members of his official
family from Washington, the telegraph
business of the Government is larger
than at any other time, and under the
circumstances the telegraph company
professes to be willing to prolong the
controversy with the pOBtmaster-generai.

retary Thorn company with
