Testimony Taken in the Case Against
Kean, the Defaulting Banker.
Chicago. December 25th.—According to the
testimoßy of Kean, of the suspended banking
firm of Kean i Co.. the assets have been low
ered $4,o>>J more. In his testimony today Kean
acknowledged no allowance had been made for
52.W5 paid to D. H. Tolman on the day of the
failure, or for $2,200 declared forfeited by the
authorities of West Superior. Wisconsin, upon
his failure to purchase certain ljonda of that
town, which he endeavored to do.
Miss HiKgins, Kean's private Secretary, testi
fied that she heil seen the papers
drawn up between Kean and Wilson and Wad
dingham, and that they were signed by Wad
dingham. This is considered an important de
velopment for the depositors, as Waddingham is
a wealthy man.
After recess Miss Higgins resumed the witness
chair. She said she had searched (or the Wad
dingham agreement, but was unable to find it.
The attorney asked her it she had ever placed
her name on a note for Kean.
She replied that she had once. Kean asked
her to do so. explaining thnt there was some law
providing that a bank could not loan more than
so much on one came, and that her name was
acceptable.
"V\ ere you good for the note? ' asked the at
torney.
"I don't think I was very rich at that time,"
she said.
During the ses-ion attorney Mayer asked
Kean if he was aware of the fact that Rev. John
O. Foster and Rev. Lewis Curts were given a
"tip as to the condition of affairs before the
bank failure, with the result that they drew out
their deposits.
Kean answered thal£e did not know euch to
be the case.
Mayer, however, secured and served sub
penas on the reverend gentlemen to appear in
Court and testify.
A LOS ANGELES COMPANY ATTACHED.
Memphis (Term.), December 21th.—Eight at
tachments have been filed by local merchants
against the Sjuthern California Packing Com
pany of Los Angeles, Cal. The merchants had

ing company refused to ship at the agreed price,
and accordingly suits were tiled for damages,
and money in the hands of the local agents was

A STORE CLOSED.
Chicago, December 24th.—The store or Charles
R. Lynch, extensive retail boot anl shoe deal
ers, was closed by the Sheriff this morning on

--ooe.

say Holland has made a large demand for gold
from the Bank of Eugland. Germany also con
tinue* to withdraw gold.
BULLION DEALERS EMBAF.RASSED.
Nbw Top.k December 24th.—A private dis
patch from London states that the resources of
Pixley & Abell preclude the loss to creditors.
This is interpreted in financial circles here to
mean that the firm is embarrassed. They were
large dealers in bullion.
GONE OUT OF BC3INESS.
Sataxsah (Ga.). December 24th.—The Savan
nah Fire and Marine Insurance Company
wound mp its business today. The compaay
was organized in 1887, with a cash capital of
$2C0,0J0. Threatened adverse legislation was

tors «f the twelve roads in Southern Kansas
controlled by uould have voted to consolidate
the twelve under the name of the Kansas, Colo
rado and Pacific.
TOE COLOP.ADO MIDLAND PrRCHASK.

| OLEOMARGARINE.
A Penusylvania Law Forbidding its Sale
Declared Unconstitutional.
Fhiiadelphia, December 2!th.—Judge Eeed
to-4ay rendered a decision holding tnat the
State law forbidding tbe sale of oleomargatine
In packages, as originally imported from
another State, is unconstitutional.
The decision, which is a lengthy one, linds
that the right of the Sate to enac:. police laws,
when such laws prohibits the sale of articles
which, without prohibition, would be legiti
mate subjects of commercial interchange, is
Euborbiuate to the power of the United states
to regulate interstate commerce. The right to
sell in original packages, if the goods are mer
chantable and legitimate subjects of trade and
commerce, is guaranteed by the United States
and though it can be regulated, it cannot be
prohibited by any State. The United States has
a paramount right to declare what good 3 are
merchantable and what regulations of their
sale are reasonable, and by an Act of Congress
the United States has declared oleomargarine
to be a merchantable art'.cle, and has regulated
its sale. As the Pennsylvania statue involved
does not regulate, but prohibits the sale of
oleomargarine, it cannot apply to the goods
described in the special verdict.
j TBE MESSIAH CRAZE.
Indians in Indian Territory to Have a
Ghost Dance.
GurHRtE (0. T.), December 21th.—White
Cloud, Hatch-E She and Running Bear were in

gin to-morrow. The lowas are entertaining
many Indians from neighboring tribes. There
ate also representatives from the Cheyennes,
Arapahoes. Creeks, and two messengers from
the Sioux. The visitors will do all in their
power to allay, as far as possible, the Messiah
craze. All the Indians about here are friendly
and peaceable.
THE TEOOPS DEFIED.
Omaha, Decembsr 21th.—A dispatch from
Pine Ridge says: A squad of Indian scouts were
sent after four troops of the Ninth Cavalry to
assist fn the movement against the escaped
hostile?. The Seventh Cavalry are under
marching orders, and will move before daylight.
Seven friendly Indians just returned from the
Bad Lands report that Short Bull's band refuses
to come in and defies the troops.
BIG FOOI'S FOLLOWEBS NOT CAPTURED.
Washington, December 21th.—The report re
ceived yesterday that Big Foot, with his follow
ers, including some of Sitting Bull's fugitives,
had surrendered to Colonel tiumner, Is contra
dict«d to-night in a dispatch received by Gen
eral Schofield from General Miles. Miles states

| SNOW AM) RAIN. |
Kansas and -'Missouri Crops Benefited by
the Fall.
Kaxsas City, December 21th.—The first snow
of the season fell to-day in Northwest Missouri
and Northern Kansas. Some of the incoming
trains on the Western roads were delayed two
or three hours.
A dispatch from Wichita, Kan., says that a
soaking rain fell in the southern part of Kansas
to-day. It was just what the country needed,
and wili doubtless extinguish the threatened

A special from Topeka says the State Board of
Agriculture has received telegraphic advices
from the northern half ol tiie State to the
effect that a snow-storm to-day covered the
winter wheat. The snow was badly needed.
', TRIPLE TRAOEDT. j
Ghastly Commencement of the Christmas
Festivities.
St. Paul, December 25th.—a. m —At 1 o'clock
this morning a triple tragedy occurred at the
comer of Tenth and St. Peter streets. Emma
McLeod was shot and killed. Her mother, Mrs.
Silas Mickel, had her throat cut and is dying.
Mrs. Mickel told a policeman that her husband
committed the deed. Further investigation re
vealed the dead body of Mickel himself, with
two revolvers and bullet holes showing how
he died. There is something of a question as
to who committed the tragedy, Mickel or his
wife, but it was probably the former.
SPIRITUALISTIC FRAUDS.
They Succeed In Breaking Up a Once
Happy Family.
Nrsr York, December 21th.—A World reporter
yesterday saw Alfred B. Beach at the office of
the Scientific American, He appealed to oe
heartbroken over the publicity which his wife
had achieved through going on the lecture plat
form to preach spiritualism. 'Mrs. Beacb,"
said he, "is not of sound mind, and hag d
been for some years past. She has fallen into
eaug of spiritualistic swindlers, who are ben
upon using her for their own advantage,
have known this for some time, but rather than
have the matter get in o print, I thought it be
to put up with it for the sake ol the family.
'•Sow, however, I sha'l certainly take som
action to put an end to this swindle though
have not yet decided just what to do. M
Eeach is no', really responsible for what she say
The poor woman nas been under restraint b
fore this, and I had hoped that it would not
necessary again. Srhe has been repeated
warned again&t the Ditdebar woman, am
knows of all the Marsh exposes and the im
prisonment o; Diedebar for swindling."
They Celebrated Christina*.
New York, December 24th.— The members of
the consolidated Stock and Petroleum Ex
change indulged in their usual Christmas non
sense to-day. An elaborate programme was ar
ranged. At noon a lull military band marched
around the Exchange floor niid up to the ros
trum. There was an opening chorus in which
the entire talent of the ixchange participated.
A song about the New York stock Excnauze
ticker followed, and a walking match by the
Bears, who lately had a lone run »nd therefore
were in good training. The distribution of
Christmas presents from the Christmas treeful
lowed, in which the various celebrities of Wall
street were not iorg'tten. No regular Chiist
mas piogrammes were arranged at the other
Exchanges. At the Stock ixehange there was
the usual impromptu fun. At the Produce Ex
chauge hags of Hour and handfuls of < tii and
oats were used as missiles by the big boys on
The Connecticut Elections.
New Haven, Decenibir 24th.—Intelligence of
importance as bearing on the contested Gov
ernorship has juit been received here. It is the
decision of Judge Hall, a Republican, in a case
lit East Lyme. He decides that a paster put on
a bank space under the tit:e, Judge of Probate,
in the Prohibition State ticket, makes the bal
lot illegal under the State ballot law. In
almost all the Prohibition ballots in this
State the Judge of Probate candidacies were
left blank and a name written in for each Pro
bate District. Under Judge Hall's ruling this
would throw out some 3,500 Prohibition ballots
in the state and elect Morris (Dem.) by a large
majority. Judge Hall's decision is the more
tiguificant as it gave the Democratic candidate
the contested office in the East Ly me District.

Kilkenny has declared for Gladstone against
Parnell. The battle was fought with every I

INTERVIEW WITH Jt'CABTHY. j
Boulogne, December 24th —In an interview
to-day Justin McCaithy declared that his idea
in coming here was to inform O'Brien fully in
iegard to recent events in Ireland. McCarthy
said he believed, in view of Parncll's declara
tions after the Kilkenny election, that ail idea
of reconciliation between the two factions must
bo abandoned. Even negotiations were hardly
possible, he added, as no business for a settle
ment of the di.-pute existed, Parnell hiving re
fused to accept the result of the Kilkenny elec
tion, and declined to abandon the leadership.
"The Xationaliste," said McCarthy, 'will
never coasent to Parnell's retention of the lead
ership. Some of the Parnellites are luke-warm
in their adherence, and only stick to Parneil
through a fe*ling of chivalry. It is likely some
will join O'Brien when his decision is known."
McCarthy spurned the idea that O'Brien
would join the Parnell party without openly
declaring himself.

One hi His Old Followers Declares He Is
Dead to the Country.
Paris, December 21th.—Boulaager was the
subject of much IntereEt and discussion in the
Chamber «f Deputies yesterday. A year ago, at
the election iv the coustitueacy of Mont Martre,
Bonlanger headed the poll. His votes, how
ever, were rejected, and tne eeat was awarded
to Joflri». The latter died a month ago, and an
election was ordered. Boulaueer seni a mani
festo advising his partisans to remain neutral at
the eleeWon on the ground that he was the
rightful member. There were many candidates,
aud memo received the requisite majority. An
other election was held, soon after Boul&nger
repeating Ms manifesto, but at this time Levy
was elected. Boulauger's friends then deter
mined to press his old claim to the seat before
the Chanter. This was done yesterday, and it
was rejected. The feature of the debate was
the speech of Laguerre, formerly an ardent
supporter of Boulanger. He said he voted
agaiust the claim of his old leader from Motives
of publis policy. Boulanger was dead, and the
sooner this fact was recogaized the better for
the country.

Little Signs of Improvement In the Situa- I
tion at Glasgow.
Glasgow, December 24th.—There are no signs
of improvement in connection with the railroad
strike. It is estimated that about 7,500 men are
now out, and business is entirely at a standstill
On the Korth British lines traffic is suspended
while the other lines are workiLg irregulariy.
The price of coal has already advanced "s per
ton, and it is said a gas famine is imminent. All
the shipbuilding yards and the public works are
without coal and they expect to ciose their doors
unless the strike is settled within a short time
fctrong detachments ol poiice are guarding the
railroad depots, which are surrounded by crowds
of strikers.
A BAD KEELING ALL AROUND.
Glasgow, December 24th.—At a meeting of
the Board of Directors ol the North British
Railway Company it was detetmmed to prose
cute the strikers to obtain redress for what they I
call ''unwarranted interference with business.
The North British Directors have also resolved
to completely close their railroad lines ra'her
than yitld. The strikers are enraged by the an
nouncement made to-day that the railroad
officials refuse to pay the strikers any portion of
the wages now due them. This action accord
ing to the railroad officials, was taken upon
legal advice, pending a decision of the Courts
as to the validity of contracts existing between
the comt>any and its employes.
The Sorth British Company has entirely I
closed the underground station here. Placards
announcing the promotion and advanced pay j
for men loyal to tne company are posted con- I
spicuotisly. The strikers, however, maintain a
defiant attitude. The loss to the railway com- I
panics will be enormous.
The strikers have issued a mauilesto demand
ing ten hours a day and fifty cents extra pay for
Sunday work. It is estimated that y.OUO per
sons are now out. Work at most of the coal
pits in Lanarkshire is stopped in consequence
of the strike. __ _____
Revolutionary Movements.

made in behalf ol ex-Director Pirola. The
movement was suppressed, but at the cost of
forty lives. As matters stand in Peru, it is not
unlikely that similar risings will occur at shoit
intervals, the conditions being entirely favora
ble. The extreme destiution prevailing
throughout the Republic is largely responsible
for this unsettled slate of affaire.
