Fallare of Ch»rles Foster, . v; $HABLES FOSTER, ex-Secretary . of llt« Treasury, startled tbe business world Friday morning by making an assignment of his vast business inter­ ests for the benefit of his creditors. His assignee is J. B. Gormlee, a prominent banker of Bucyrus and a warm friend of Mr. Foster s. The liabilities are given out by Mr. Foster as being $600,- 000, and the assets about the same. He made the assignment during the night, and the papers were filed at Tif­ fin by Mr. Scott, his attorney. The presence of the Sheriff was the first inkling many people had that there was something wrong, and it soon leaked out that an assignment had been mad«. The news spread rapidly, and soon the streets were filled with people eager to learn the extent of the calamity. Mr. Foster was in business in Fostoria »s a dry "goods merchant. Soon Rftw tbe war closed he helped to organize the Fostoria National Bank. By shrewd speculation in real estate he became wealthy and in 1879, when elected Gov­ ernor of Ohio for the first time, was re­ puted to be worth $1,000,0(0. During the next four years he lost heavily in In natural than the wages allowed by regulations, pocketing the difference. TWO ATTACHMENTS 343 hare been taken out aftilOHt the Domestic Sewing Machine COmpaifcgr at New York by the Astor Place Bank", which charges that the company se­ cured loans by scheduling assets which did not belong to it. THE Atlantio tannery property ot South Salem, Mass., operated by Pror Bros., the most complete tannery prop­ erty in Salem vicinity, occupying over ten acres covered with manufacturing buildings, was totally,destroyed by fire. The total loss wiii reach fully $250,(WO, which is partially covered by insurance. THE New York Herald is to b« merged into a co-operative society in which every member will be given a share. Legal proceedings are threatened against lteuter's agency for oabling to Europe that the Herald was to be a stock company with a capital of $2,000,- 000, malice being alleged in placing the stock at so low a figure. COMMANDER CLEARY, of the New York State Department of the Grand Army pt the Republic, Issued an order disbanding Noah L. Farnham Post of New York City for passing resolutions criticising the pension laws. The reso­ lutions were not submitted to the de­ partment and national commanders, as required by G„ A. R» rules. Com­ mander-in-chief Welssert approved of the action taken by Cleary, holding that by its action Farnham Post for­ feited its charter and is barred from further participation in Grand Army councils. AT the General Synod of the Beformed Presbyterian Church, in session at New York, a resolution was Introduced by the Kev. Thomas Walters, that no church funds be hereafter invested in stocks which cause unnecessary work on Sunday* such as railroad securities and many others. Mr. Kooert Steven­ son moved a resolution making it in-Lake Superior copper mines ^ gas and street railway speculations at j cumbent for all members of the church Findlay, during its temporary boom, he wjjo were represented by the synod to invested largely, and when the bubble burst, he, with many others, was caught for many thousands of dollars. He also lost by indorsing notes for business and political friends. Since then he hasat­ tempted to recoup hio losses, but only became more deeply involved, and the crash was temporarily averted by his Appointment as Secretary of the Treas? wry. v Hotel Victims Anxcy. MANY anxious persons scattered over the greater portion of the United States fioHoitous iust, now over the fate of the Aldine Hotel Company of Chicago Mid its ability to make good the propo­ sitions set forth in a gaudily colored pamphlet prospectus. The company was incorporated last fall, and was to be operated upon somewhat of a co­ operative plan. Deductions in rates were offered if the applicants would ad­ vance a portion of the money to be­ come due for accommodations for a specified time. Thtse were to be scaled according to the time of occupancy and character of ser­ vice required. The people who made the advances are the ones on the anx­ ious seat. After having advanced money on certificates entitling them to the benefits of the alluring plan, they received circulars announcing that the company was bankrupt, unable to pro­ ceed with the building, and that the outstanding certificates would be ac­ cepted at 50 cents of their value. This started an Investigation, and tbe thousands of victims are clam­ oring for their money. Indignation meetings have been or will be held and an effort to recover the cash will be made. The projector of the enterprise |g Thomas Cadwallader. He has been for nearly nine years in the employ of tbe J. K. Armsby Company, a whole­ sale commission house. He conceived tbe idea of building a large hotel, in which he might figure as host. A fine location on Oglesbv avenue, south of 66th street, was purchased for $17,750, All on faith and promises for the future. A four-story brick hotel, to contain 350 rooms, is now rapidly approaching com­ pletion, and will be ready to receive guests by June 1. withhold their patronage from the World's Fair if opened on Sundays. The resolution was adopted. The next meeting of the synod wiil be at Coulter- ville, I1L, in May, 1894. WITH forward torpedo tubes buried1 deep in the sea, and the water pushed almost as high as her forecastle, the armored cruiser New York steamed across the line Monday at the starting grounds, breaking the world's record and winning tor its builders $200,- 000, the largest premium ever paid in any country. When twenty-one knots was predicted as the speed for the new cruiser many hoped but few believed that its engines would ever be able to drive such an im­ mense mass of steel through the water at this rate. When it crossed the line, however, with a speed of 21,09 knots, and some corrections "yet to I e added for tide, the enthusiasm on board was intense. • WESTER^*.- Stamp Tax Law Suspended* is officially announced that the Mexican government has suspended for two" years the application of the new law placing a stamp tax oa the produc­ tion of alcoholic beverages. A decree has been issued by the Treasury De­ partment fixing the amount of taxes to be raised for the next fiscal year by tbe domestic distillers at $500,- 000. The Secretary of the Treasury will fix the quota to be paid by each distiller after having first consulted With the Confederation of the Produc­ ers of Alcohol, which has been organ­ ized in Mexico and has representa­ tives thioughout that republic. The tax will be a direct one and paid as ' finch bi-monthly. Importers of alco- , bolic beverages will, after July 1, in­ stead of the stamp tax, pay 15 per cent, additional to the regular Import duties 11 OB the soods imported.

A number of people had narrow escapes irom death by fall­ ing walls and flying roofs, but, outside or a few bruises and broken limbs, no one was seriously injured. The tornado came from the west and was evidently of a local character, as no damage has been reported from points outside the city.

From facades to the pillared entrances the Virginia was decked in the ensigns o( Britain. Over the main entrance to the hotel were looped two Union Jacks. Inside the hall music and perlume floated on a sea of color. All the perfumed buds and blossoms that summer holds were woven in graceful designs about the lighted hall. Back of the main fable and overlooking the entire hall was placed a life-sized portrait of tho honored Queen. Above it hung a silken.canopy flecked with white blossoms and illumined with Waxen tapers tined and hooded in har­ monizing color.

' There are several routes leading di- reot to the World's Fair, all from the sirous of approaching the Exposition by eome new route, cau felicitate ths j senses with an imitation sea voyage Steamers of every kind will ply quently between the grounds and the pier on the lake front, just over the Van j „ ., Buren street viaduct. The fare is : en twenty-five ' cents, the trip delightful. What with the fresh water breeze, the 1 ocean swell on a small scale, and a ! panoramic view of the city stretching ! like a cresoent moon before the vision, I this route on a pleasant day is a most en­ joyable one. The leisurely visitor should vary his routes to the Fair as much as possible 4or the experience afforded, and, by getting started early and leav­ ing the grounds at a reasonable hour, all crowds, danger, and confusion may bo avoided. The manner in whioh these lines handled the crowds on opening day proves their ability to make it com* fortable and pleasant lor all patrons all times. / Instde the Grounds. Once-insid^ the grounds, the sensible visitor will devote some thought and calculation to the manner in which he will endeavor tov get as much good as possible out of his money. Fifty cents pays for an inspection of the main features of the Exposition, and tpere is lots to see. These should be exhausted first. The side-shows of the Midway Plaisance can be an after-consideration, and a preparatory stroll there will not only give a fine surface glimpee of its variety and merits, but will enable later a more Flames in the Forest. A forest fire destroyed Louis Sands' lumber camp near Lake City, Mich. Out of a total efw of sixty men forty- nine escaped uninjured. Ono, Edward Sullivan, was seriously burned and ten are dead. Of these, eight took refuge in a well and were oremated there by tbe timber and curbing falling in on them and burning. Two tried to run the gauntlet and were burned to death. The men were assembled at dinner and the forest fire, Which was burning all around, entirely cut off escape. When the men, realizing their danger, rushed out of the building in which they had been sitting the smoke so blinded them that they became bewildered. They ran hither and thither, unable to find a means of es­ cape, and their horses stampeded owing to the confusion. Eight of the men jumped into a well to escape the flames and there died of suffocation. Their bodies have since been brought to the surface.' Other men rushed to the woods and some of them thus escaped, but the bodies of two of them were afterward found burned. One man reached Lake City terribly burned and there died in fearful agony. Eight teams of horses were cremated. The bodies of the burned have been taken to Lake City, where they await burial. Most of the unfortunates were strangers, and the bodies will be shipped io friends where known. The fire in the timber near the camp of BloJgett, Cummer Dwiggins is under control and no fur­ ther danger is feared there. • 8#^in w't Big Blur, A little spark and a strong southwest gale at Saginaw, Mich., resulted in a very destructive fire. In a brief period the work of years of toll was destroyed and tho fairest portion of Saginaw left a mass of smoldering ashes and debris. The fire is saM to have started from the chimney of Briggs <fr Cooper, on what? is known as the middle ground, and, wafted by the gale, it swept down into the dismantled mill plant of Sample & Camp, on the docks of which were a number of piles of lumber. The Bris­ tol street bridge next caught and a por­ tion of it was destroyed. Thence the flames leaped to the east side just belowi Bristol street and north of the city hall, where were located a large number of buildings, including hose-house No. fre- ' Winkler's ice-houses. Eleven 1 residences on Tilden street and on both sides of Washington avenue down to street were quickly licked up. Then the sparks were carried across the old bayou into the premises of the George F. Cross Lumber Company, the planing mill, lumber in the yard and a dozen tenement houses melting like snow. Next came the Allington & Curtis Manufacturing Company's ex­ tensive plant and Passot's old soap fac­ tory, all of which were wiped out. Here the fire struck Jefferson avenue, and in an hour some of the finest residences in the city were in ashes. The flames made a clean sweep north to Emerson street, where the fire continued east­ ward, south and along Emerson street toward the city limits. It cut a wide swath on Owen, Howard, Sheridan and Warren avenues and other streets east. St. Vincent's Orphans' Home succumbed early, but the inmates were all removed to places of safety. In many instances houses caught fire and were destroyed before the occu­ pants were hardly aware that they were in danger, and dozens of families saved practically nothing. It is impossible to give a correct account of the losses and insurance. The former will reach nearly $l,5CO,f.OO, with probably an in­ surance of $700,000. Fully l.uOO men j employed in factories burned are thrown ' out of employment and hundreds of j families are homeless, as about three 1 hundred buildings were burned. Only 4 tho teems ran away, crashing into th* cAtTifftfti preceding them. The hearse- was badly damaged, and the casket waa» broken open. ,!•»! Ill i WORK DONE IN A YEAR. » .

Saturday was a bad,day for the towns and cities of Northern Wisconsin, which are surrounded by the pine woods. The wind blew a gale, and vegetation is so backward that everything was as dry as tinder. The conditions were those that generally obtain late in the fall, and precautions against fire are then taken. As it was, forest fires raged all along the line of the Milwaukee, Lake Shore and Western Bailroad from An- tlgo to Buckbee and from Eland Junc­ tion to Waueau. The town or Bryant, near Antlgo, was entirely wiped out, and the inhabitants forced to flee for their lives. Thirty buildings were de­ stroyed and not a single house of a ay description was left to mark the town site.

The effect was most disastrous to life and property. Heavy black clouds suddenly obscured the light of the sun, while the air be­ came oppressively hot. Following a terrific electric flash came the crash and roar of thunder, shaking the very earth. Before man or beast could seek a oover, the deluge of Ice came and for five min­ utes there was a terrifyin J; war of the elements. Chunks of ice as big as goose eggs fell. Telephone and tele­ graph ^ires were prostrated in every direction; electric and cable cars were stopped by broken wires or debris chok­ ing the conduits and traffic was sus­ pended for a long time. The stinging pelting of the hail caused a number of serious accldtnts by fren- jsied horses. Twenty horses, some of th«m valuablo, are known to have been killed in Pittsburg, eit er by collision or becoming entunglet} In electric wires. Jphn Downey, the driver of one team, was dragged several squares and fatally hurt. Michael Dunn, aged fourteen, was almost electrocuted by stepping on an electric light wire on Second aveuue.

Wesner moved toward Brown.- f and pulled a long dagger. Just as he laid hands on Brown Brown fell and ^ Wesner dropped upon him. He was- • ^ taken off and laid down. Wesner's strength began to fail and he died in forty minutes. Brown was arrested, j J his revolver confiscated, and he was- laken to jail. The coroner was called and his vei'dict wa3 in accordance with . the facts as stated, practically charg» ; ing Brown with the murder.
