Victimized depositors in the defunct German Savings Bank at Erie, Pa., have forced the stockholders of that Institution to sign a paper acknowledging their legal liability and agreeing to make a settlement. The recent explosion of the steamer 8. M. Felton at Philadelphia has been traced to the agency of a man named Adrianco Bpears, who carried a line of accident Insurance which would have yielded him $l5O per week if he had beeu seriously injured.

The dead bodies of Poundmaster McNutt and City Marshal Evans, of Geneva’* 111., were founa at the corner of the Court House Square, in. that place, at an early hour in the morning. There is no satisfactory clew to the murderers, but it is believed that they were killed by persons who made an attempt to burglarize tho Larrabeo House during the night. Eight men were injured by a collision on tho Burlington and Quincy Railroad at Corning, lowa.

The Chief of the Bureau of Statistics reports the total value of exports of beef and pork products for nine months ended July 31, 1885, at $07,706,002; dairy products for three months ended July 31, 1885, $4,031,716. The total value of the exports of breadstuffs from the United States lor the seven months ended July 31, 1885, was $55,558,952. Marshal McMichael, of the District of Columbia, will, it is said, bo retained in office until his commission expires, fifteen months hence. The pension laws provide that soldiers who have lost a leg at the hip-joint or an arm at the shoulder-joint in the service of the country shall be entitled to pensions at the rate of $37.50 per month. It has been the custom of tho Pension Department to construe this law strictly. There are less than a dozen cases on the pensionrolls in which the amptutation has taken place exactly through tho joints mentioned. Commiss'oner Black, in ruling upon two test cases brought before him, declines to hold to the strict letter of the law and allows the full amount of pension, though the amputation did not take place at tho joints. He bolds that if the amputation is so near the hip or shoulder as to render the stump unserviceable tho pensioner is entitled to the same compensation as if no stump were left. This rule will apply to a considerable number of pensioners who have been receiving pay at a lower rate. Serious charges have been filed here against some of the Alaska judiciary. They involve drunkenness and various abuses. A. Wilson Norris, late Pension Agent at Philadelphia, has not, it is charged, yet rendered his accounts to the Treasury Department, though frequent demands havo been mado upon him.

POLITICAL.

The New York State Republican Convention will be held September 22, at Saratoga. * General Butler denies that he has written a letter indorsing tne administration, and claims to bo entirely out of politics. The Pennsylvania Prohibitionists met in convention at Harrisburg, and nominated Barr Spanglor, of Marietta, for State Treasurer by acclamation. Over three hundrod and fifty delegates were in attendance. Ex-Governor St. John addressed tho convention. Conrad B. Day, of Philadelphia, was nominated for Treasurer of State by the Pennsylvania Democrats at Harrisburg. The speeches and resolutions were severely denunciatory of the deal between Vanderbilt and the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The platform indorses the administrations of President Cleveland and Governor Pattison, favors a revision of tho tariff, and condemns sumptuary legislation. The lowa State Republican Convention assembled at Dos Moines and nominated tho following State ticket: For Governor, the Hon. W. M. Larrabeo, of Fayette County; Lieutenant Governor, Capt. James A. T. Hull, of Polk County; Judge of the Supreme Court, the Hon. Joseph M. Bock, present incumbent; Superintendent of Public Instruo tion, John W. Akers, present incumbent. The platform, which is very lengthy, protests “a ainst tho Union soldier having ouo vote and the rebel soldier having two;” denounces President Cleveland for tho character of his diplomatic appointments; opposes the Democrat c policy of a “tariff for revenue only;” indorses civil-service reform, and favors the creation by Congress of a national commission for the supervision and regulation of interstate commerce. As to the liquor question, the platform simply declares for a fair and thorough trial of the existing law, and alleges that “the Republican party of lowa has never

made support of prohibition a test of party fealty.” Governor Hoadly, of Ohio, has been challenged by Dr. Leonard, the Prohibition candidate, to a joint discussion of the license quostion during the campaign. The Governor signifies his willingness to engage in a series of debates with the Prohibition stand-ard-bearer if Judge Foraker, the Republican candidate for Governor will also participate.

MISCELLANEOUS. Business failures occurring throughout the country for the week were 165 in the United States and 24 in Canada, a total of 189, against 177 for the preoeding week. In regard to the general trade situation, Bradgtreet’* says: In addition to an improvement in textile lines the demand for pig-iron at Philadelphia and generally west of the Alleghenies, except at Cleveland, has shown some gain. In the East this is not the case, and while there may have been some improvement m the inquiry there is none in price or demand. Dealers in Eastern markets are inc lined to the opinion that unless the competing Southern furnaces are cut off by finding ample markets nearer home, or by higher freight rates, Eastern pig-irons are not likely to advance much in the near future. Steel rails are stronger, bat not so much higher, as irresponsible reports have mentioned. The millowners have avowed their intention of putting rails up to S3O per ton. Wool sales continue large as compared with last year. Dealers are stiff In their views, which tends to check operations. Some manufacturers are inclined to look for a reaction, but there are no special reasons apparent for it. Notwithstanding the continued strength in the Eastern dry-goods market and the upward tendency of prices, some manufacturers continue to curtail production. There are others making preparations to enlarge their output. The strength of prices in leading lines continues. Gen. Caceres, commander of the Peruvian forces, is shooting his prisoners, sparing neither women nor children. •* The Toronto team, in a contest for the American championship at lacrosse, beat the St. Paul toam at Toronto in a warmly contested game.

It Is officially stated that there are only seventeen cases of the disease in Ontario. During the seven months ended July 31, the number of imigrants arriving at the seven principal ports of the country was 281,178, as against 276,690 for the corresponding period of last year. The exports of merchandise from the United States during the twelve months ending July 31 were valued at $733,378,429, a decrease of $8,863,586 as compared with the year preceding. Tho imports were valued at $571,439,215, a decrease of $94,403,072. A special from Upper Saranac Lake, New York, says: Fresident Cleveland’s party has broken camp and returned to the Prospect House, much to the delight of the few remaining summer boarders. The President is looking remarkably well. He is much tanned by exposure to sun and wind during h s camp life. Every day, with a guide, he goes out on the lake fishing, and returns at night with a big catch of bass and trout. During the long evenings the President plays whist with Dr. Ward and any other two oi the guests of the hotel who happen to be players. This gives an idea of the every-day life of Mr. Cleveland in the mountains, and when he gets back to Washington, which will probably be not before the middle of September, he will be well prepared for the work that awaits him. All rumors of his ill health are laughed at bv the President and stormed at by Dr. Ward, and his appe i ranee justifies all that. Variety is lent to the hotel life by the visitors who come in from tho woods and shake hands with the President. Sportsmen wonder at his declaration that he would not give a cent to shoot all the deer in the Adirondacks, and fishermen admire him because he says that lie came to fish and carries out the programme so thoroughly. Many of the latter who know how much a pocket-flask can do to make things pleasant when rain falls or fish w.ll not bite will want to know whether the President sticks to the good old habit oi carrying a swallow with him. All that could be learned was from a guide. He said that once, in crossing a "carry," the President called out, "Doe, are you sure you’ve got the bottle?” and smiled and looked happier when the Doctor winked. That guide was snowy-haired, and too old to be untruthful.

FOREIGN.

The topic chiefly discussed in English political circles is Parnell’s bold declaration in favor of a restoration of a Parliament for Ireland. He expects to have eightyseven followers in the next English Parliament. An international boat race between the crews of the various men-of-war in the harbor of Constantinople took place Sunday, in which the cutter from the United States steamer Qu nnebaug was victorious. In a speech at Rosendale, England, Lord Hartington repudiated the socialistic programme of Mr. Chamberlain, but advocated moderate measures of land reform and the extension of local self-gov-ernment. He declarsd Mr. Parnell’s demands inadmissible, and said that no party in England would consent to acquire or retain office by conceding them. It is believed in London that peace between Russia and England is completely assured. The final details of the agreement as to the Afghan boundary are now being arranged between tho two Governments. It is rumored that at the recent confeience between M. do Giers and Count Kainoky, at Kremsicr, the latter pledged Austria’s interest in securing Turkish neutrality in the event of an Anglo-Russian war. In the customs treaty between Germany and Turkey, shortly to be signed, the former receives important concessions. An expedition will be sent out from London to search for Gen. Gordon, many of whose military friends believe that ho escaped alive from Khartoum. The German Minister to Spain had a conference with King Alfonso Sunday. He assured the King tnat the German Government was anxious to sett e the dispute over the Carolino Islands in a friendly manner.

A VICTIM OF BUNKO.

An Aged Philadelphian Beaten Out of $9,500 at Atlantic City, N. J., by a Sharper. (Atlantic City (N. J.) special. Charles Field, Sr., who is over 85 years of age, and who has been in business in Philadelphia for over fifty years, was victimized out of $9,500 by a brace of bunko men in Atlantic City. Mr. Field has spent much of his time here during August, and is a familiar figure. In the afternoon he took a stroll after dinner, and met a young man of good address, who, after a courteous hand-shaking, stated that he was an old friend of the Philadelphian, alleging that he had been a clerk in the Penn National Bank,, and since his resignation had been abroad. He hid brought several fine pictures from Europe, which he would be pleased to have Mr. Field inspect Mr. Field, having nothing else to do. went with the young man, who entertained him with stories of the sights he saw across the water. They were kindly received by a. stont woman, and were ushered into the office—the art emporium, as his friend called it. Here he was to a game played on a board with numbers on it, and with a spinning arrow, presumably a sweat-board. Two other gentlemen were introduced, and they played the little game, each winning over SIOO. Mr. Field was invited to join them, and he lost over SIOO, but continued to play. During the progress of the game the young men kept Mr. Field interested by talking over the affairs of -the bank and its earnings and investments. After playing some time the bunko men coolly asked the old gentleman for bis check for $9,500, drawn to himself; as the collateral for a grand prize he had drawn on the sweat-board. Thinking that the bunko man was really an old friend he told him to fill out the check and he would sign it, which he did. The check was on the Pennsylvania National Bank, where Mr. Field has been a depositor for over fifty years. On leaving Mr. Field the bunko steerer took the first train for Philadelphia, presented the check at the bank, and, after being identified, received the money.

THE NEW EXPOSITION.

The North, Central, and South American Exposition at New Orleans, Opening Nov--10, 1885. New Orleans correspondence: A mistaken notion prevails that the great Exposition is simply a reopening or continuation of the Cotton Centennial Exposition of last year. The only thing it has in common with that Exposition is that it will be in the same buildings. One of its hading objects is to secure closer relations between the three Americas. For the first time in the history of the new world the representative men from Minnesota to Chili will come together to get acquainted, to inspect and study the natural resources and the products of human labor and ingenuity gathered together for that purpose from the whole hemisphere. The present annual imports of Mexico, Central America, and South America are valued at five hundred millions of dollars, and their exports have about the same value. The United Slates take only 35per cent, of these exports, and furnish only 16 per cent, of the.imports. It is believed that these imports could easily be doubled, and every business man sees the necessity for an earnest effort to deflect the greater portion of this vast an d increasing trade to our ports. The new Expo-ition will be the most important agency in producing this result. The annual value of our manufactures is now six thousand millions of do lars, and. we export only 2 per cent, of this vast product. Mexico, Central America, and South America are naturally our markets. At the new Exposition the natural as well as the manufactured, products of this hemisphere will be displayed in such variety and profusion as will strongly attract the attention of the world. Each State of our country will present a. rich exhibit of its resources and advantages. Visitors from Europe, as well as from American countries, will gladly avail themrelves of this opportunity of seeing and studying the wonderful collections gathered at New Orleans. These collections will not only exhibit the resources of American countries, but will show, as ihey have never been shown before, the marvelous possibilities of tho new world. During the coming fifty years human activity must center largely in these countries, and they have already become the study of the profoundest thinkers and political economists of the age. The new Exposition, which w.ll open November 10, 1885, and close March 31, 1886, furnishes the opportunity for that acquaintance between American countries which can only result in great advantages to all.

THE DEMENTED TRAGEDIAN.

Poor John McCullough Listlessly Awaiting the Coining of His Pate. [New York spec'at. 1 Keports have recently multiplied to the effect that John McCullough was rapidly sinking in his home in the Bloomingdale asylum, and that his death was but a question of a few months. Dr. Nichols, the medical superintendent of the asylum, was questioned yesterday as to the’ truth of these reports. “They are about correct,” said the Doctor. “As nearly so, at all events, as laymen can make reports that should be tech deal. Mr. McCullough is general'y paralyzed and quite weak. He will walk a quarter of a mi e or so at a time with an attendant at hand, but he moves about like an old man, sitting down and getting up with a good deal of difficulty. Mr. McCullough’s physical condition is not greatly changed since he came here. He Will not live yea s, he may not live many mo ths. He is much quieter and happier than when he first came, and seems quite contented to be here. He looks bock sometimes on his stage life and recalls the courng on of his disease with much feeling. His case is. of course, hopeless, and I never he d out to his friends the slightest hope of his recovery. ” Mr. McCullough is very regular in his habits at Bloomingdale, but so lows no cast-iron rout ne iu disposing of his time. The pat ents are expected to r.se at a certain hour ancl take their meals at specified times. These rules are not rigid, however, and are relaxed when rec ssary. So far as his physical powers will al ow, Mr. McCullough endeavors to follow them, rising and taking his meals with the other patients. He passes his time otherwise as he chooses.
