' Old Firm Fftlls.. ̂ • 'HSAVY losses in col lapsed • Fair hotels and inability to secure pay­ ments from others not collapsed forced Nelson, Matter & Co., one of the oldest furniture houses in Grand Rapids, Mich., to give chattel mortgages ag­ gregating $179,382.74. Real estate mortgages to the same parties and for a like amount were also filed. These papers were executed to secure lo- , cal creditors and Michigan banks. The amount of unsettled indebtedness will foot up about $200,000, making the company's total liabilities about $400,- 000. The assets will probably exceed that sum. Ever since the World's Fair hotels furnished by this company began tumbling right and left it has been in a critical condition financially. It was hoped that the worst was over, and that it would manage to pull through. A few days ago a sample line of gocds carried by the company In New York was attached, and this precipitated a raid by worried Eastern , * creditors. Raid » Mall Wagoa. EARLY* Friday morning, at Terre Haute, Ind., two robbers captured the wagon used to haul mail to and from the depots. TTiey bound and gagged the driver, drove to an appointed place, and there robbed the mail pouches, after which they drove about the streets long enough to confuse their prisoner, leaving him tied in his wagon. They had put an empty mail sack over his head, which he removed with dif­ ficulty, and began yelling for help. It was then 3:30 a. m. A, resident, in front of whose house the wagon was standing, heard him and went to his » rescue. There were only three sacks of mail in the wagon. They contained only ordinary letter mail. The driver ' would have received more valuable mail at the Union Static n and was an 'hour late owing to the lateness of the ,*"Big Four's" train. The theory is that ,the robbers thought he had the valu- able pouches when they captured him. ^There Is no trace of the men. Hooley Lies Dead. RICHARD M. HOOLEY, the veteran Chicago theatrical manager, died Fri­ day at his home. Tears of sorrow at bis sad taking away have been shed on both sides of the Atlantic, and stroll­ ing players the country over will revere the memory of the man who was always their friend, whose purse was as open as his heart, and whose bounty went out in times of prosperity and failure alike to the low­ liest of them all. Mr. Hooley lived out his three score years and ten, but the allotted age is not enough fcr one whose unusual good deeds and good­ will have been felt so widely in the soeiety which he graced. -v- Express Money Packages St nlea. - AT Akron, Ohio, the Adam's Express Company's safe was left practically un­ locked Thursday night, and a package oI money belonging to the city of Ak- riofll containing over $5,000 and rearly •3,000 of the company's money was taken.

There were more people, more enthusiasm, more distinguished men, more beautiful women, and more courtly hospitality than have graced the festivi­ ties of any of its sister States, save one. Gov. Roswell P. Flower, with State officers and his military staff about him, was there. Mayor Gil- roy, chief executive of the country's metropolis, was there. Chauncoy M. Depew was there to weave twin gar­ lands of oratorical compliment for the Fair and for the State. Best of all, 25,000 New York people were there, who wore blue badges and tramped through all the halls and corridors of the great white and gold building and looked at the portraits of dead Dutch Governors and at the live statesmen, and testified in every way their devotion to the State of Coney Island and Grover Cleveland. The festivities began early in the morning and lasted until after the chimes in the German castle had sounded midnight. Before noon the fireworks were oratorical; after dark they were sulphuric. Through and in them all New York and New York men wdre glorified, put there was no memory left of any jealousy of Chicago or slander of the Fair.

THATCHES GBAVES, M. D. AT Cincinnati, Ohio, an electric car dashed down a hill at a frightful speed, left the tradk, broke a telegraph pole, and shot into a saloon, wrecking itself and the structure it struck. As a re­ sult of the collision two persons are dead, six are injured beyond recovery, and nearly forty more are hurt. There were forty-five persons in the car and not one of them escaped injury. The motorman and conductor jumped just before the car struck the pole and thus escaped a horrible death. The car was smashed into splinters, as was the front of the saloon and the bar, and from the debris at once arose agonizing cries and moans. Six patrol wagons were upon the scene in a few minutes, and the dead and dying were quickly trans­ ferred to the city hospital, where the entire medical staff was soon busily en­ gaged in rendering such assistance as was in their power. AT Indianapolis, Wednesday, with a rousing chorus of cheers Capt. John B. Adams, of Massachusetts, one of the heroes of Gettysburg, who took part in seventeen battles and was twice wounded, was elected twenty-second Commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, to succeed A. G. Weissert, of Milwaukee. The conven­ tion then proceeded with other elec­ tions and before adjournment, Col. Ivan N. Walker, of Indianapolis, was chosen Senior Vice Commander, and J. C. Big­ ger, of Texas, was elected Junior Vice Commander. The convention also se­ lected the place of holding the next encampment. When it came to a vote Pittsburg was the only claimant left in the field, Lincoln, Neb., and Phila­ delphia being the last to withdraw. The city at the junction of the Alle­ gheny and Monongahela seemed the unanimous choice of the delegates and they voted to a man for Pittsburg. THE stronghold of Hoosierdom capit­ ulated before the onslaught of the boys who wore the blue, and with flying flags and keeping step to the same old strains that led them through valleys and over mountains three decades ago, the veterans marched in the big parade at Indianapolis like a victorious army up and down the principal streets amid the plaudits of a multitude of enthu­ siastic spectators. A discharge of ar­ tillery from Camp Wilder ushered in a glorious autumn morning and gave the signal to citizens and visitors to pre­ pare themselves for the festivities of the day. No such crowds were ever before seen in Indiana's capital... Nat­ urally enough, the Hoosier element predominated. Where the throngs were the most dense one could almost have believed that the greater portion of the State had turned itself out so that the comrades from at home and abroad should not be allowed to feel lonesome for lack of hearty reception. SEVEN HUNDRED officers and men of the Indiana National Guard, fortified with swords, bayonets, rifles, a Gatling gun, and twenty-seven thousand pounds of ammunition, bivouacked at Roby, Ind., on Monday night, outside the arena of the Columbian Ath­ letic Club. The finish fights which had been announced to take place between Young Griff o, champion feather-weight of Australia, and "Kid" Lavigne, of Bay City. Mich., for a purse of $6,500, and Jimmy Barry, of Chicago, and Johnny Connors, of Springfield, 111., for a $1,500 purse, were called off before the military demonstration was made at the clubhouse. Benjamin Hayes, of Crown Point, Ind., who was appointed receiver for the club early in the day, served an order on Charles Fredericks, Sheriff of Lake County, that he should allow no more prize fights at the club-house. Except for the militia the Roby sporting re- . sort was as dull and fully as dark as a cemeiery. The Western express on the 'Frisco we» boarded by three men just as it entered Mound Valley, Kan., Sunday morning. The engineer and fireman were covered by one oi the robbers while the other two made for the ex- prepp car. They commenced firing in­ to the car in tn& "hope of frightening the messenger into opening the door. The plucky messenger returned the fire and three shots Were exchanged, when he was heard to cry out "I am killed." The lull in the shots from the express car caused the robbers to pry open the door of the car. when they found that the cry of the messenger was no ruse. They then took the train and ran it about a half mile from the Btation when they proceeded to go through the passen­ gers. The name of the dead messenger was William Chitman, and his home was at Springfield, Mo. The robbers are supposed to be the same three men who robbed the Santa Fe depot at In­ dependence, Kas., Friday night. The hold-up caused intense excitement. No money was secured from the express car, for'with the messenger dead the robbers were unable to open the safe CAPT. EIERMANN, the aeronaut, who left Milwaukee in a balloon Sunday af­ ternoon, arrived at St. Ignace, Mich., Wednesday afternoon on the schooner Ellen Williams, which picked him up in the lake twenty-five miles northeast of Milwaukee. Capt. Eiermann had been in the water an hour and a half before rescued, and to a life-preserver he owes his safety. Previous to drop- . . Wa, for thirty minute*. All this time wick, New Hthe balloon w&s aldmmiBg over the 'surface of tHe Wee before a heavy wind. Occasionally the car caught on a wave. Then he would be nearly dislodged from his Erecarious holding. When nearly ex-auated one of these jerks tore him from his holding and he fell into the water. A common life preserver around his chost kept him afloat. As soon as relieved of the weight ol the aeronaut the balloon righted, itself and went off like a shot ana was not after­ ward seen. Capt. Eiermann was in the water ninety minutes. When rescued he was well nigh exhausted and it was some time before he recovered. He has made about 800 balloon ascensions, but this, he says, was the most mir­ aculous escape he ever had. .

All Ol teton eorps of numerous ftMiitanta. The progmmme for the week's do- ingfs began Monday. Most of the day was taken up by the arrival of veter-' ans and other visitors. In the evening a grand reception was given to the na­ tional and department officers and dele­ gates at Tomlinson Hall. The hall will accommodate 3,200 people and there were thousands unable to gain admission. A ohorus of 300 voices and an orchestra of forty pieces rendered music appropriate to the occasion. Gen. Harrison- delivered the address of welcome and Commander-in-chief Weissert made response. To the National Association of Naval Veterans was accorded the honor of in­ augurating the business features of the week, and. the hall of the Masonic Temple was comfortably filled with gray-haired salts when, at ten o'clock Mondav, the eighth annual convention was called to order by Rear Admiral B. S. Osborn, of New York. Rear Ad­ miral Osborn was chosen to succeed himself by a vote of 33 to 27 over Fran­ cis B. Allen, of Hartford, Conn., the present Commodore. This convention was a close to their events which began the previous Friday. The Great Parade.

Matty causes contributed to the suc­ cess of the gathering this year, among them the untiring energy and marvel­ ous capacity of the Indianapolis man­ agers, of whom a group is here pic­ tured, the enthusiasm of the Western veterans, particularly those of Indiana and the contiguous belt of States, Mich- T XOMUNSON HALU igan on the north, Ohio on the east, and Illinois, Iowa? Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska on the west, and the associated attraction of the World's Fair. The West is noted as the land of big things, and it is not behind in the size of its Grand Army following. The fraternity originated in the West, and the West started out in the lead in point of influence and has kept its end more than level. At the first en­ campment in Indianapolis in 1860 the West naturally had a majority of the delegates, but at the second encamp­ ment in Philadelphia it also took the lead. Indiana, Illinois and Ohio alone sent one-half the delegates. A West­ ern veteran, John A. Logan, of Illinois, was commander-in-chief and held the office two terms. The arrangements for entertaining and caring for the thousands present had been committed to a Citizens' Com­ mittee of 3,000 persons, including prominent men from other cities ana towns. The head of this large body, which was divided into numerous sub­ committees, was Colonel Eli Lilly, President of the Commercial Club, in which the scheme for securing the en­ campment was worked out. There was a large Executive Committee, of whieh Colonel Lilly was Chairman; D. P. Erwin, Vice Chairman; William Fortune, Executive Director; Allan Hendricks, Secretary; and State Treas­ urer Albert Gall, Treasurer. The names of such wellk-nown men as Gov; Matthews, ex-Governor Chase, Mayor Thomas Sullivan, ahd General Lew Wallace also appeared on this com­ mittee. Gathering of the Veterans. For several days previous to the for­ mal opening of the week's' programme the veterans gathered from every part of the Union. Great cities, small towns, little hamlets, and solitary farm­ houses sent their quotas, greater or smaller, and the result was an attend­ ance that no man could closely esti­ mate', and one certainly surpassing any ever before seen in Indianapolis. The trains, in this city surrounded by a network of railroads, arrived in so many sections as to constitute m. until six o'clock in the evening'. It is estimated that there were about 25,000 men in line, the number falling short of expectations on account of the delay of trains in bringing the veterans into the city. From noon un­ til five o'clock the trains brought in thousands of the old soldiers, too late, however, for them to take part in the review. Furthermore, half those that Were here seemed toprefer watching the others march. There were not enough men in several of the State delegations to fill the time allotted them. For two hours the parade moved in broken columns, 4>ut after Indiana swung into line with her 15,000 veterans there was no break and the multitude was given a view of the finest demonstration ever made by a single State at the national encamp­ ment of the Grand Army of the Re- Sublic. The Chief Marshal* was Gen. ames R. Carnahan, Chief of the Uniformed Rank, K. of P., of the world, and himself a veteran of rank. In addition to the main reviewing stand occupied by Commander Weis­ sert, the line of march passed stands erected for disabled veterans, for a chorus of school children, who sang patriotic songs, and for thousands who willingly paid $1.50 each for seats. A feature of the parade surpassing all previous ones was the number of horses in line. Decorations of the most elaborate kind marked the line of march, and the whele spectacle was one not often seen in times of peace. *9. 68 Allan Hendrtoks. . Albert Gall. Win. Fortune. OoL Ell Lilly.

Thursday night the war pageant, by the citizens of Indianapolis, closed the list of entertainments. Besides conti­ nental nnfl oivil wnp anl.1 liOibt)- back, fifteen beautifully illuminated pictures of stirring war scenes mounted on floats and manned by veterans and their sons were shown. Figures represented by ioO men, fourteen ladies and six children were selected for the portrayal of the various pictures™ A feature of the parade was a Grand Army badge of immense size and con­ structed of flowers in the form of a cannon, shot and other war emblems. Friday was also devoted to excursions to the near by cities in the gas belt. A full-size model of the old war ship Kearsarge was open to visitors on the Capitol grounds, and it was here the naval veterans made their headquar- quarters. A unique sight was an elab­ orate display of natural gas, with which the city is supplied from fields twenty- five miles away. During the nights of the encampment Indianapolis was il­ luminated in brilliant style. Nearly 6,000 incandescent electric lights had been placed in various parts of the city, forming different devices and figures. The soldiers' monument and the Com­ mercial Building were especially gor­ geous in their illuminations. The monument, which towers in the air nearly 300 feet, was literally shrouded in its 3,000 electric lights, while from the landing at the foot of the crowning figure powerful search lights sent their blinding rays out over the city. From the top to the bottom of the monument hung festoons of red, white and blue, COMMANDEH-IN-CHIEF WEISSERT. Old Glory standing out in brilliant ef­ fect just above the pedestal.

Besides, there were thousands of sightseers not in any way connected with the Grand Army. The old soldiers wore accom­ panied by their wives and children to an extent, it is said, never noticed at any previous national encampment. The spectacle presented as the veter­ ans arrived and marched up Illinois street and around the monument in the Indiana alone had at least fifteen thousand old soldiers in line in addi­ tion to the militia of the State, and these survivors of 154 war regiments, while passing in review before Com­ mander-in-chief Weissert and an array of distinguished guests, reformed the old ranks and unfurled the battered battle flags they carried on the field. a The parade ignored the splendid Ishaft erected in Circle Park in mem- pry of soldiers and sailors. This was ' iremeditated on the part of the veter- ,ns. For a year or more there has „jeen a controversy between the Grand rlArmy of the Republic and the monu- jment commission as to whether there Jshould be placed on the monument adakjs oalling to mind the Mexican war. fThe Grand Army of the Republic op- iposed the placing of the dates. The jcommission had its way about the mat­ ter and the Grand Army of the Repub­ lic decided that the veterans should not be allowed to pass the monu­ ment while marching in the parade. Tuesday night was devoted, in a spectacular way, to the fireworks dis­ play, at which the heavens were made brilliant for two hours with fire and color in elaborate designs in a field ac­ cessible by street cars and 160 acres in size. Tuesday was also the night; of the reception by the Woman's Relief Corps at Tomlinson Hall. Refresh­ ments were served, and speeches were made by Gen. Harrison and othprs. The first regular meeting of the del­ egates to the encampment occurred Wednesday morning in Tomlinson Hall. While the delegates were transacting business, those not delegates met in army corps and brigade reunions. All corps headquarters were pitched in tents in the Court House yard.

"Yott tell me," said the baron, "that there are many poor Jewish peddlers and tailors in New York, and that there ia~ a Ghetto as bad as the old Ghetto ol Rome, except that the inhabitants of • the New York Jews' quarter are noft confined to it but by their own inclit tion. This is only the result of thei newly acquired rights, the exercise o their liberty to dwell where thei please. But a new race of Jews wil grow up; the huckster and ehapma| will be forgotten; the usurer lookc upon as a myth, and the wide horizoj Offered by the beautiful Western her isphere will bring us all, when w| reach it, not only nearer to heavei but neareroto Thee, O God. * As to Jews in finance, here are soma . interesting remarks of Rabbi Isaac ^' Wise: "The Jews of the United Stated* are a very insignificant factor in large; financial Operations.

In some villages in Japan robbers are tried and convicted by ballot. When* ever a robbery is committed, the ruler of the hamlet summons the entire male population and requests them to write on a slip of paper the name of the per­ son they suspect as having committed the crime. The one receiving the ; largest number of ballots is declared duly "elected" and is accordingly hung, • ^ This system, like all others, has its pe­ culiar advantages. It insures the pun­ ishment of somebody for every robbery committed, whereaH under the systepa * in vogue in most civilized countries ii| nine cases out of, ten no punishment if inflicted on anybody for the crime. Ol course, they may not "elect" the guilty n£ pageantry ol tne aay ana nears- ^ut dispose of some other char- to other sounds than the plaudits ; e^Uy ^ bad.
