ANOTHER CASE In Vblcb Blaine' (enerons Confidence Terhaps Made Him a Victim.

J. Henry Brook Publisher a Statement of the Facte Concerning the Staadard Coal and Iron Company. IN'ew York Special to the Chiea;o Times. There is apparent a disposition ia soma Quarters to help Mr. Blaine oat of one of Ma specalatiTe scrapes by the benefit of a -:v'. -i l i i nuiuu.c. eueiueui ueuiauj usTe ueeu uiaue bj Mr. Blaine's friends and he has made some himself, as reported of any connection of his with a sort of syndicate formed for speculation In Ohio coal and iron lands, the title of the repudiated concern being the "Hocking." Bnt that is not the title of the concern in which Mr. Blaine was interested, if intimations here are true. The statement is made that the Farmers' Loan md Trust Company, as trustee, negotiated large amount of bonds several millions in for the "Standard Coal and Iron Compasy." An officer of the Farmers' admitted to the Times representative that some bonds of the Standard were disposed of as above tated. The Ttandard is said to be now in the hands of JtTr. H. C. Stan wood as assignee. Stanwood, it may be remembered, is a name Which has figured in one or two important episcdes in Mr. Blaine's life, but whether the es gnee Is of the same family as the Plumed Knight's earlier acauaintaneesjthe Times rep resentauve is not informed. A member of a legal firm to whom application for facts aoout the Standard was made professed to have not much information himself further than that Mr. Blaine and Steve Elkins put $25 (00 into the enterprise, and that a Mr. W. 1. Lee. of Ohio, was in it as a promoter. A glowing orospectus, it is said, was issued, in which Mr. Blaine's Dame figured as some ort of out tue lesai gentleman insists that he never acted. The story goes, however, that a party of capitalists went to the territory in which the Standard was to operate, in a special car or train. Mr. Blaine being of the number, and it is hinted that his proverbial magnet Ism ras much felt in the party. At all event?, bonds of the Standard appear to have been ultimately sold to a very large amount, the cash proceeds being stated in soma quarters as high as $2,0OO,C0O. Nobody here appears to have the faintest idea of the disposition made of the capital, but wealthy gentlemen ia varioas parts of the country are understood to consider the large amounts of the bonds which they hold as much more ornamental than useful. and have no great expectations of large dividers cU from the assets held by the assignee. The representative of the Times has not been able to learn the fate of the $.'5,000 laid to have been contributed to the scheme by Messrs. Elkins and Blaine; but, remembering how the latter poor innocent safere J in the Little Hock deal, it may be assumed that this is another case in which his generous confidence made him a victim. As so many of his speculations have been unfortunate, and his salary only ,0O0 a year, the close economy which enabled him to rave several millions since he entered public life is very much admired. ANOTHER LETTER FROM BROOKS. The following was printed in the Evening Tost to-night: .To the Editor of the Evening 1'ost:: "Sip. I beg the privilege of submitting to yon for publication a second article on the Hocking Valley. In toe latter part of 1SSI and early in 1SS2 the Standard Coat and Iron Company was brought into being. It started in life with a magnificent array of colossal figures, and experienced a 1 rief bnt brilliant career. It commenced business with a capital stock of $25.000,000, and availed itself ot the privilege of issuing a mortgage for $12,000,000. Its President was General Samuel Thomas, of the Metropolitan Bank building, and the otEces of the company were in No. 2 Wal street, adjoining those of the Hon. ti. B. Elkins, one room in fact being a portion of his suite, and the business relations between Mr. Elkins and the company were of the most friendly character. The leiral preliminaries consequent on startine so vast a corporation, such as issuing its securities by the proper observance of neces.ry forms and other details of a like nature were attended to by Colonel C. II. Bippey. then of ' t'on of Mr. EIkiu9. There had always teen a strong feeling in the Hocking alley that the transportation companies oo-press-t-d the valley by excessive freight charges. To meet this vital question the first til' rts of the Standard Company were directed tosolidifv the interests of t'ne valley propritort as against said railroads. With lhis in view, contracts were rapidly made with the variocs lare proprietors to join the overshadowing combination. General Thomas, being president of the company, could be counted upon to deliver over to the combination the four furnaces, in which he was laigely interested, when they would be required. It was also expected that he would control the Ohio Central transportation charges as well as the mining interests on the Sunday creek side of the valley, l which were, I think, managed by the Seney syndicate. The moet important companies with which formal contracts were made were :he Akron Iron Company, the Mosa A: Marshall property, or Bessio furnace, the Crafts furnace, and the New York and StraiUville Coal arid Iron Company. This latter company was incorporated1 think, in 17. On the date of Becember 1 of that year Hon. William Walter l'helps was president of the company, and on October :;o, 1S3J, Hon. Joseph Vilas was the treasurer, when the records of the company will show that Mr. J'helps was a large creditor of this corporation. If the directors' record books ot the New York and Straitsville Company were subjected to examination I believe they would show that for a very brief period the corporation declared monthly dividends of ?1 per share, and it is alleged that about this time Boston parties were permitted to purchase what they thought was some of this company's stock at from par to 110, but as It has also been stated, thev found it im possible to procure anything but trustee warrants, rather than certificates, which wonld be salable nntil the market value had dropped to a nominal figure. About this time a very important rontract was made with the Lechner Mining llachine Company of Columbos, O., J. K. Gaffrey. of that city, being President of the rompany, by which lor a consideration of SGO.UHj the company were to obtain absolute control of this company's patents for the fctate of Ohio, with the exception of taro lacA where thee machines were then in use one in the Hocsig Valley that it was expected wonld be included In the combination, and the other in the Jackson coal field. Jt had been ascertained ly a mot careful examination that machine mining would cost from thirty. t3 thirty-five cents per ton, where the miners were receiving from seventy to ninety cents. The adoption of these machines would, of course, force out of employment three-quarters of the miner In the field, as their services would no longer fe required, and probably cause the remain der to content themselves with a much reduced wage. It was absolutely necessary that this policy should be inaugurated to maintain the supremacy of the Hocking Valley as apainst tbe encroachments of Other Oaio coal districts in the proposed market of this powerful monopoly. It its been brought to my notice that W. J). Lee has made a statement to the New York Tribune In which he alleges that the subscription of Hon. J. G. Blaine of the Hope furnace tract, waa of the natnre of a Joan or investment ot a conditional charac ter, as Mr. Blaine might elect. I would beg to state that I delivered the f V),000 in Stand

Blaine entered into with Boston gentlemen when he signed those articles of association, for he became an absolute owner when his payment was made. But, if for the moment, it would be any comfort to the friends of Mr. Blaine to receive Mr. Lee's statement as true, it would seem to me to be doubly unfortunate for Mr. Blaine, for it would then appear that he had allowed the use of his signature to solicit subscriptions from the investing public in such a manner as the alleged true facts in the case would have warranted, and has, perhaps for prudential reasons, never given either Mr. Uenison or myself this remarkable information. Very respectfaliy yours, "J. Henry Bcooks." Obituary. Mr. Andrew B. Slinkard, formerly of New berry, died at his residence in Cass Town ship, Greene County, Indiana, September "(, 1SS4, aged fifty-live years, two months ard nine days. Mr. Stinkard's health had bten on the decline far several months, and on the 21st of September he was attacked by a very severe chill, and afterward by typhomalaria fever. Notwithstanding he had all the medical aid that could be rendered, and despite the careful attention of a kind wife and children, he had to yield to the powerful iollaenceof the grim monster, and in five days he launched his bark upon the cold, silent river of death, upon which he glided sweetly and peacefully over into the haven of eternal rest. Though his sickness had been of the sever est character, no murmurs were heard to escape his lips; no clouds over shadowed bis bright sky; no gloom intervened between him and his Savior; for the Comforter was tenderly saying Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can not cure." I atient and resigned to the will ot his Heavenly Father, and faithfully relying upon the promises of a Blessed Savior, he bid adieu to this tenement of clay, and his soul, reed from corruption, took its flight to the realms cf glory. The widow and orphans have the sympathies of the writer and the whole community in their bereavement. A large circle of friends and acquhkitas.ces mourn his loss to society, bat kr ww il at this cLange is, to him, infinite ga'n. Will he be missed? lie certainly will. The Church will miss him in her support, in her council, and in the congregation. The community in which he has lived since wili miss him. Tbe poor who need his charity will miss him in the many comforts with which he has made them happv. Bat he will be missed more than all in his own loving family, for his cheerful and kind disposition was such that all were made happy with whom he associated. But his family circle was the most brilliant, penetrating the darkest recesses of the heart of each member of his household, and changing gloom into joy and gladness. Mr. Slinkard was the son o( Andrew and Mary Slinkard, deceased. He was a native of the State of Indiana, and has lived in the State all his life. He was married to Miss Sallie F. O'Neail, November 0, ISIS, with whom he lived in peace and harmony for nearly ten years. A short time after her death, in the year 18"8, November is, he was joined in holy wedlock to Miss Bebecca Hummer, with whom he lived In peace and happiness for nearly twenty six years. Mr Slinkard attached himself to the Lutheran Church in earlylife, being baptized in infancy, and was confirmed to the church while very young. He was elected elder ot the congregation to which he belonged In tbe year A. D. IS-'Ü, holding that office for nearly twenty-seven yeara. Tious habits had been formed by him in early youth, but after bis accession to the church he has lived a devoted and exemplary Christian, and died in tbe triumphs of faith. few weeks before his last sickness, in a conversation with his sister, in whom he placed explicit confidence, he expressed his resignation to the will of his Heavenly Father, and only regarded this world as an abiding place, bnt looked for a better, a heavenly. On Sunday, September 23, his remains were conveyed to the church, where the funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. M. G. Sappenfield, and, after services, to the Newberry Cemetery south of town, and there, in tbe presence of a large concourse of relatives and friends, consigned to the dust from which they sprang. He leaves behind him to mourn his loss a kind and devoted wife, and three loving children one little daughter, Cora, nine years old; twa sons, J. F. and A. I. Slinkard, and families; two brothers, J. W. and Biley Slinkard, and two sisters, Mrs. M. A. Hib burn and Mrs. Rosa A. Owens, besides a large circle oHrelatives, friends and acquaintances. Mr. Slinkard was an accomplished gentleman, a devoted husband and an explary Christian. He has reared his own monurvent of cood works, pious habits and a life consecrated to the service of his once cruciCed, bnt now risen Savior. He has lived the life of a taithfnl Christian, and at its clcse could say, in the words of the dying saint: "The world recedes, it disappear: Iletrcn oicns ou my eye; my ears With sonn'ls seraphic rin. I e nd. lend your wlng? 1 mount! I fly! O. grave! where H thv victory ? O, death! where is thy sung?" R. C. HlBBCP.5.

HE STRIKES FOR BLAINE,

John R. McLean's Ohio Toller. The "Enquirer's" Ambicaoai Position Dae te It Editor's Relations with Gould land the Union raclfic Railway Other Political Events. Cincinnati. O., Special to the Chicago Daily Newa 1 The conduct of John R. McLean, of the Enquirer, during this campaign has been puzzling to everybody who does not understand him. John ia a peculiar man. He is a handsome fellow, Doth physically and politically. There is every reason now to believe that he is engaged in the attempt to sell out the Democratic party in Ohio. Johnny always did favor Blaine, but it was thought at one time that his pledged fealty to Cleveland would last beyond November. Tbe faith of those who entertained, this idea, however, has been rudely shaken. Among the known facts of McLean's true inwardness I may cite the following: Ills father, who now lives in Washington and ensconced himself in a handsome residence about a yetr ago, has been an intimate friend and devoted follower of Blaine for years. John McLean made tbe bulk ot his fortune through the assistance of Jay Gould. The characteristics of that astute manipulator are known throughout the country. There can be no doullt that Jay Gould is more interested in the present campaign than in any political canvass that has taken place for years. As the holder of a very large block of Union Bacilic stock he is intensely interested in the makeup of the next administration. A detailed explanation of the relations of the Union Pacific Railroad with the Government would reveal Mr. Gould's interest therein in a very startling light. The Thurman bill provided for the payment of the Union Pacific indebtedneps to the Government. In a measure that bill failed of its object, and there is now lying nnacted upon in Washington Senator Edmunds' report on the condition of the road and its standing toward the country. If the Attorney General ot the next administration be an honest man, he will prosecute the Union Pacific for its indebtedness to the Government. It is by no means improbable that it could be shown, as it was shown in the case of the Erie Kailroad, that Mr. Gould in the management of the Union Pacific corporation has been, to put it mildly, 'guilty of acts which would make him personally liable for a very large sum, and. wealthy as he is, it is not at all improbable that he would be financially ruined by his guilt being brought home and judicially settled upon him. The dread of of such an occurrence is tne secret of his giving $100,000 to the Republican National Committee this year. That James G. Blaine would, if elected, be the pliant tool of the Union Pacific Railroad no intelligent man who has watched his record and studied his carter can doubt. Tne oflicersof the road have admitted on several occasions that they have incriminating letters of his. Now, Blaine does not like letters; he has had a little too much of epistolary experience to mit his peace of mind. But to return to McLean. That enterprising young man has notoriously not made anything from his newspaper property for some years. He has boasted, however, that he could afford to run his journal at a loss and make up tbe deficit in Vall street through his friemlohip with Jay Gould. Two or threo years azo he went to "Wall street and made a clean-up of his stocks. He put his money into Government 4 per cents, hoping to have realized half a million or so by his operations. The cleanup, however, showed that he was not as rich as he londly hoped to have been. Since this conviction startled him he has been trying in various ways to secure that sum. Perhaps be thinks the coming election will enable him to reach this summit of his financial ambition. The Enquirer has been distinguished for its opposition to the Democratic party since the opening of the campaign. It has blown hot and cold. Scarcely a day has passed without "Gath" having from three to four columns of a letter in the paper defending Llaine and denouncing tboe who published the Mnlligan letters. When Carl Schurz spoke in Cincinnati the Enquirer, it is true, printed his speech in full: but it also printed a letter from "Gath," of the most violent tone, charging Schurz with corruption. Close observers in this cty assert that McLean's followers are openly talking for Blaine. They have evidently got their instructions from this pushing yonng man . With a State as close as Ohio is, it would be a very easy matter for McLean, by the liberal use of Democratic money placed in bis hands, to turn it over to Blaine. And that, I am assured, is exactly what McLean wants to do; not that he has little personal affection for Cleveland, but that he is of opinion Blaine, with the aid of Jay Gould, can serve him better than the Democratic candidate. THE SOLID SOUTH. (ienerab Beauregard, of Louisiana, Thinks it Will go for Cleveland anil Hendricks. pew York Special to the Courier-Journal. 1 A representative of the Courier-Journal met General G. T. Beauregard, of Louisiana, in New York this morning and conversed with him regarding political prospects in the South. "All of tbe Southern States," said the General, "will go of course for Cleveland, who we feel confident will be elected, for he' ought surely to carry New ork and Indiana, and probably New Jersey and Connecticut. When in Chicago recently, I met eeveral prominent gentlemen who seemed to believe that the Democrats have a fair chance to carry both Illinois and Wisconsin." "Is it not true that many of the leading planters in Louisiana are disposed to side with the Republicans in this election, although never having done so before?" "No. The last meeting of the Planters' Association, held in New Orleans, showed that these gentlemen are, for the most part, not in sympathy with the Republican party. It is true that some of them think their interests would be better protected nnder a Republican administration, but they are doubtless mistaken, for the wealthy sugar refirers of the North have something to say with reference to the policy of the Republican party, and these refiners have repeatedly shown their hostility to the interests of our planters by advocating the lowest tariff rates on the cheap grades of sugar and the highest rates on refined sugars. If our planters will read carefully tbe platforms of the two parties they will see but little difference between them relative to the tariff question. The tariff, however, is the rock upon which the solidity of the South will ultimately be wrecked." "You were in Albany recently. Did you have the pleasure of meeting Governor Cle reland."' "Yes, I stopped at the Executive Mansion to pay my respects to the man who I believe is to be our next President. He received me courteously, and pleased me much by his gentlemanly manners, his intelligence, and apparent decision ot character, it 1 may be permitted to express my opinion on that subject. I think he would nil tue omce ot Chief Magistrate with dignity, impartiality and ability." "So far as yon know, in what estimation do the people of the South hold Mr. Blaine?" "1 do not think the Southern people are inclined to look Opon him with much favor. Indeed, they consider him rather dangerous, owing to tbe many grave charges brought against him which are still unrefuted, and to that element in his character which seeks to obtain 'great results' regardless of the manner of attaining them." "Is it true, as the Republicans are charging, that if there was a fair count in Louisiana and the Democratic 'machine' did not, as alleged, manufacture Totes to order, Blaine would have a majority of at least 10,000 in the State?" J "No; it is not true."

CONFESSED.

Now, Mr. Calking, lie re Is Something That TTU1 Shut Tear Houth. Oer Is a Confession Over Your Own Sifnanature Admitting Your Indebtedness to the School Fand. ILaDOrte Argus. "We have spoken from records and carefully avoided exaggeration and constantly kept well within the lines of the most explicit truth, but notwithstanding this temperate and honorable action, we have been accused from one end of the State to the Other of lying and slandering tbe Republican candidate for Governor. All the time we have had withra easy reach positive evidence in Major Calkins' own writing that he owed tbrschool fund debt. Owing to the private nature of the evidence, we determined, however, not to use it, unless Major Calkins personally denounced our statements aa false and slanderous. This we are informed on the most unquestioned authority, he is now doing from the stump in all parts of the State, and it is for this reason that we publish his own words to refute his denial that he owes the debt to the school fund. The reason the debt was not paid as requested in the letters was because no purchaser could be found for the swamp st the price of i'JOO. The following is a copy of the letters: COMMITTIB ON AriBOPRIATIONS, Hou&e) ov Bei'Resentatives, Washington, D. C, February 20, 1S34. J Dear Will I appeal to you to fix up that school fund matter. No matter how you do it, please fix it Yon know I feel like I could not allow it to hang over me, as a handle will be made of it in the coming campaign, and if our positions were reversed I would act promptly for you. Don't ask me how, but fix it and write me what I will have to pay. I leave the whole matter to you. W. H. Calkins. House of PwEpsesextatives, Washington-, D. C, May 20, 1884. J Dear Will Won't you please close np that school land matter? I want it closed up before the convention, riease do this for me, and write me what I have to pay, nnd I will send yon a check for it. Don't delay. Your friend, W. II. Calkixs. It will be seen that Major Calkins fully recognized six months ago that he alone owed the debt, and that he wanted it settled before the Republican convention met. and before tbe campaign opened. No farther comment seems necessary, but we ask the reader to jade for himself who has lied;-and who has made slanderous statements. An Irishman was asked for his marriage certificate. Heßlowly lifted his hat, revealing a large scar on tbe head, evidently done by a Hat iron. This evidence was to the point.

Tho ."Boyal" the Strongest aud Purost Baking Powder.

Our attention has been called to publications from the Frlcc Baking Powder Co. , the obvious purpose of which was to rid tflemselves of the recent exposure of the inferiority or low test of the baking powder manufactured by that house. As to whether the Price baking powder is equal to the "Royal," the facts are that when the cans were purchased on the open mirket, and examined by Prof. Chandler, of the New York Board of Health, the result revealed the face that Price's powder contained twenty-seven per cent, more strength than the "Royal." When compared in money value, this difference would be as follows : One pound can Royal Baking Powder worth 50 cents. One pound can Price's worth 36 cents. The Royal Baking Powder ompany have been fighting for jcars past to break up the practice of substituting Alum, Phosphate, Lime etc., as cheap substitutes for creim tartaras well as short weights and low tests in baking powders, and the "stop thief" cry will not deter u from pointing out all who are engaged in the nefarious business of palming upon the public cheap or injurious baking powders at the same price at which a pure and wholesome article is sold. The Royal Baking Powder has the commendation of the most noted chemists in the country for its purity and freedom from any subStance of an injurious nature, being m anufactured from grape cream tartar, in which no lime exists. .
