Farther F.xpoeuree In the Ohio Bank Failure. Cleveland special: Now developments have been uncovered in the Paige bank defalcation at Painesville, Ohio, that have caused a sensation in local financial circles, and several Cleveland capitalists may be hard hit When David Paige, a brother of the cashier of the defunct Painesville bank, contracted for certain work upon the New York aqueduct, it became necessary to secure some one to indorse his paper. He obtained the aid ot John Huntington, a millionaire, and his brother-in-law. The latter Indorsed a number of notes given by Paige, Cary & Co. As far as known, all this paper was for four months. Two years ago John Huntington, with shattered health, left Cleveland for Europe. He is now at Carlsbad. It was known by Huntington’s family here that when the notes expired the indorsements by him were not renewed. In spite of that fact renewed paper continued in circulation, and Huntington sent word by cable that he had not indorsed the paper. The members of his family and local bankers held a consultation. Thousands of dollars worth of Paige, Cary & Co. paper bearing the Indorsement of John Huntington is held in this city alone. There has been a partial record made of $285,000 worth in local banka COTTO ELECTROCUTED. The Current Turned Off and On Four Time*. Jeremiah Cotto, the murderer of Louis Frankeloso, was executed in the electric chair at Sing Sing Prison, New, York. This was the eighth execution by electricity. It possessed peculiar interest, because it had been reported that Cotto had been suffering a dreadful fear of his approaching death and because it seemed probable that he would break down and make a pitiful scene in the executionroom. But Cotto’s courage had seemed to increase with the approach of death. The nervousness which had almost prostrated him in the days preceding seemed to leave him and he went to death calmly. The current was turned off and on four times. After each application Cotto showed signs of apparent life, moving his hands and opening his eyes. There was no movement of the chest, however, as there had been in other casea At the first sign of life the current was turned on again. After the fourth shock there was no signs of life and the doctors declared the man dead. There was no burning, but steam arose and there was scalding of the parts where the electrodes were applied. The G. A. R. Encampment. A bill has been introduced in the Senate by Senator McMillen providing for an appropriation of SIOO,OOO to pay the proper and legitimate expenses attending the reception and entertainment of such honorably discharged union soldiers, sailors and marines who served in the War of the Rebellion as may attend, as delegates or otherwise, the twenty-sixth national encampment of the G.

Information has been received at Washington, stating that the development of the patroleum interest in Peru has made such progress that it has been found necessary to lay pipe lines between the wells and the ports on the coast It is believed that the Peruvian wells will soon supply the entire demand of the west coast of South America. Three Hundred Hungry Negroes. Three hundred negroes arrived at Utica, N. yr; from Columbus, Tenn., bound for the Adirondack railroad.

Adrian (Mich.) special: While Mrs. Henry Lards, wife of Turnkey Lards ol the County Jail, was cleaning the carpel of one of the rooms of her home on Erie street with gasoline, a gasoline stove it ' an adjoining room exploded. Her twe children, a bov of 2 and a girl of 3 years, were in the room with her. In an in atant the room where the mother was al , work upon the carpet was ablaze. Th< ■ clothing of all three became Ignited anc the mother and older child ran scream ?■-■ Ing into the .yard, forgetting the little .■ boy. Neighbors came to the rescue, but ' 1 not until the clothing had been burner •ff the mother and little girl. The littli ■Bfti ' ■ '

boy waa burned to a crisp. Mrs. Lards and the girl are thought to be fatally ' burned. A HOT SKULL Spill* Its Torturing Melt Un Nino Brawny Bodies. The converting department ot Carnegie’s steel plant at Homestead, Penn., was the scene of a terrible accident recently, by which nine men were Injured, four of whom will die. Their names were ; Arthur McQuirk, Albert Williams, Andrew Stoftield, and Peter Woods, all married; Thoa. Harding, John Shields, James Baird, Frank ..bol, and John Gwinn. The four first named were fatally injured. The accident happened luring a molt in the converting, and was caused by the skull or debris, falling from the shields over the Bessemer converter and breaking the pressure pipe. This caused the vessel, which was filled with molten steel, to turn on its trunnions, throwing the metal Into the pit The falling metal covered nine of the workmen, frightfully burning four of them an 4 painfully Injuring the others. The injured wore given every possible attention, and with the exception of the four mentioned, will soon be out again. All of the Injured were removed to their homes In Homestead. W. L. Abbott, Chairman of the company, says the accident was an unusual and unavoidable one. It was the first accident of the kind that had ever happened at the works. The skull, or debris, is a collection of cinder, small portions of steel and other matter that is thrown from the converting furnace by the heavy pressure of air that is forced through the molting mdtal. Mr. Abbott tfave it as his opinion that no one could be charged with carelessness, as the firm, as well as the men, had taken every precaution to avoid al) danger. That Sugar Com bias. Philadelphia special: The sugar refining plant of Harrison, Frazier & Co. was formerly transferred to the American Sugar Refining Company, the consideration being $10,000,000, one-tenth of which waspaid in cash, and the remainder on exchange of sugar trust certificates for Harrison, Frazier &Co stock. The announcement did not create much surprise in local sugar circles, as it had been predicted for several days. The only effect that it had was that of raising the price of sugar trust stock on the several exchanges of the American Sugar Refinery, and it is probable that Claus Spreckels will turn over his refinery. Such is the impression prevailing among sugar brokers, who have been following the workings of the sugar trust among the Philadelphia refineries of late. In consequence of the trust having absorbed the Franklin refinery the McCahan Sugar Refining Company, which was incorporated last year with a capita) of $3,000,000, has increased It to $5,000,000, and has decided to begin building a plant at once. Secretary Taster Discusses Financial Matters. Secretary Foster said recently, in discussing the condition of the treasury, that there was nearly always $24,000,000 in the disbursing officers’ hands and that was practically current funds, for while the treasurer’s balance might show only a net balance of $30,000,000, the subsidiary silver and money in the National banks actually took the place of the money in the hands of the disbursing officers, leaving at all times $31,000,000 in available funds over and above the $100,000,000 gold reserves. Counting the $23,000,000 in subsidiary silver and the government money in National banks, the total available assets, exclusive of the $100,000,000 gold reserve, would be $64,000,000, rather a comfortable sum for a rainy day. Paige Has Skipped. R. K. Paige, cashier and head of the Citizeas’ Saviags and Loan Association Bank of Painesville, Ohio, which closed its doors last week, has fled for parts unknown, It has been learned that Paige, besides realizing on all his personal property before the bank failed, issued a large amount of worthless paper. Holders of $6,000 worth of these notes have alreaoy presented them, and this probably represents a small portion of Paige’s speculations. It is also charged that Paige’s personal friends were allowed to enter the bank the night before the failure, and take out what money they paid on deposit This practically cleans out the safe, and other depositors will get nothing.

; NOTE FROM SALISBURY. I HE WOULD RENEW THE MODUS VIVENDI. His Lordship Insists. However, that the Pending Treaty First Re Rntlfled. and that Provision Be Undo for the Assess--1 rnent of Damages. I \ Salisbury Sauce. ' Lord Salisbury hu replied ns follows 1 to Sir Julian Pauncefote in response to Mr. Wharton’s note: “In reply to your telegram notice has been given to owners of ships sailing for Behring Sea that both agreements at present under discussion between Great Britain and the I'nited States—that as to arbitration and that as to an intermediate arrangement— may affect the liberty of sealing in Behring Sea. They have, therefore, notice of their liability to possible interruption,* and will sail subject to that notice. The question of time is not, therefore, urgent “Inform the President that we concur in thinking that when the treaty has been ratified there will arise a new state of things. Until it is ratified our conduct is governed by the language of your note of the 14th bf June, lU9O. But when it is ratified both parties must lS #iit that contingent rights have become vested in the other, which both desire to protect. “Wo think that the prohibition of sealing, if it stands alone, will be unjust to British sealers if the decision of the arbitrators should be adverse to the United States. We arc, however, willing, when the treaty has been ratified, to agree to an arrangement similar to that of last year if the United States will consent that the arbitrators should, in the event of a decision adverse to the United States, assess thedamages which the prohibition of sealing shall have infflicted on British sealers during the pendency of the arbitration, and in the event of a decision adverse to Great Britain should assess the damages which the limitation of slaughter shall, during the pendency of arbitration, have inflicted on the United States or their lessees. “As an alternative course wo are also willing, after the ratification of the treaty, to prohibit sealing in the disputed waters if vessels be excepted from, prohibition which produce a certificate that they have given security for such damages as the arbitrators may assess in case of a decision averse to Great Britain, the arbitrators to receive the necessary authority on that behalf. In this case a restriction of slaughter on the islands will not in point of equity be necessary. “Her Majesty’s Government are unable to see any other than one of these two methods of restricting seal hunting in the disputed waters during the orbitration which would be equitable to both parties.” Salisbury Statea His Terms. A later note from Lord Salisbury to Sir Julian Pauncefote says: With further reference to your telegram, I am not prepared to admit, as I gather that the President thinks, that Ite have objected to the arbitrators having jurisdiction as to the damages inflicted in the past by the party against whom the award Is given. I only Objected to her Majesty’s Government being liable for acts they have not committed. lam ready to consent to reference on this point on the following terms: That in case the arbitrators shall decide in favor of the British Government, that Government may ask. them further to decide whether the United States Government has, since 1885, taken any action In Behring Sea directly inflicting wrongful loss on British subjects, and, if so, to assess the damages incurred thereby. That in case the arbitrators shall decide in favor of the Government ot the United States that Government may ask them to decide further whether the British Government have, since 1885. taken any act an in Bering Sea, directly inflicting wrongful less on the United States or their lessees, and, if so, to assess the damages Incurred thereby. ;■ The note to Sir Julian Pauncefote of June 14, 1890, referred to in Lord Salisbury’s reply, is as follows: Washington, June 14.—With reference to the note which I had the honor to address you on the 11th I desire to express ■tuy deep regret at having failed up to the present time to receive from you the assurance which I h id hoped to receive, that during the continuance of our negotiations for the settlement of the fur seal question British sealing vessels would not be interfered with by United States revenue cruisers in the Behring Sea outside of territorial waters. Having learned from statements In the public press and from other sources that the revenue cruisers Rush and Corwin are now about to be dispatched to the Behring Sea, I cannot, consistently with the Instructions I have received from my Government, defer any longer the communication of their formal protest announced, in my notes of the 23d ult and the 11th Inst, against any such interference with British vessels. I have accordingly the honor to transmit the same herewith. I have, etc., Julian Pauncf.eote. (Tnclosure.) (Received June 14. 12:35, 1893.) The undersigned, her Britannic majesty’s envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to the United States'of America, has the honor, by instruction of his Government, to make to the Honorable James G. Blaine, Secretary of Stats of the United States, the following: Her Majesty’s Government has learned with deep regret from notices which have appeared in the public press, the accuracy of which has been confirmed by Mr Blaine's statements to the undersigned, that the - United States have Issued instructions to their revenue cutters about to bo dispatched to Behring Sea under which the vessels of British subjects will again be exposed under the prosecution of their legitimate industry on the high seas to unlawful Interference at the hands of American officers. Her Brjtannic Majesty’s Government are anxious to co-operate to the fullest extent of their power with the government of the United States in .such measure as .may be found to be expedient for the protection of the seal fisheries. They are at the present moment engaged in examining, in concert with the Government of the United States, the best method ot arriving at an agreement, upon this point. But they cannot admit the right of the United Statss of their own sole motion to restrict for this purpose the freedom of navigation of Behring Sea, which the United States have themselves in former y.enrs convincingly and successfully vindicated, nor to enforce their municipal legislation against British vessels on the high seas beyond the limits of tfiolr territorial jurisdiction. Her Britannic Majesty's Government are therefore unable to pass over wit bout notice the public announcement of an intenj |i>n on the part bf tho Government of the United States, to renew the acts of Interference with British vessels navigating outside tho territorial waters of the United States, of which they have previously had to cpniplatn. Tne undersigned is, In consequence, instructed formally to protest against such interference, and to declare that her Britannic Majesty's Government must hold the Government of tho United States responsible for tho consequences that may ensue from acts which are contrary to the established principles of international lavf. The undersigned, etc. * . Julian Pauncefote. Jins. Biohabdb, of-Montana, who offered to give tho last nail to be driven Into the Woman’s Building, Is having it manufactured at Butte Olty, after her , own design.
