LOS ANGELES: FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 8, 1893.
A CONFIRMED DOPE FIEND
Some Sensational Disclosures
at San Diego.
Light €ast on the Failure of
the Consolidated Bank.
Grave Mistakes Hade by President
Bryant Howard.
Bis Jadfrm.ot Warped by th. Habltua
Hae of Uplam— The Good Koads
Convention — Other
Coast News.
By the Associated Preu.]
San Diego, Cal., Bept. 7.— Relational
disclosures will ba made in the morning
by the Union will relation to the failure
of the Consolidated National bank. The
paper saya that it has been known ever
since the doora were cloeed tbat grave
mistakes of jadgment, if not actual mis
appropriation of funda, had been com
mitted, and that all these derelictions
had been traced to Bryant Howard, the
president of the institution. The Union
states that his conduct haa been such aa
to lead to, tbe belief that be might
be made tbe subject of a criminal prose
cution, but that facts have developed
which ebow be has for years been a con
firmed victim of tbe opium habit. This
has ao warped hia judgment tbat heavy
losaea are now aacribed to tbe influence
of the drng. The wreck of the bank waa
but tbe sequel to the wreck of its presi
dent. Over-drafts running up to $40,000
were permitted by bim, while money
was loaned on the moat flimsy security
in lavish style. Large anms, ranging
to |80,000, were loaned on the mere
integrity of individuals, supported
in some oases by some semblance of
security, but which proved worthless on
examination. Nevertheless it il ex
pected tbat tbe stockholders will meet
tbeir assessments generally, and that
with what is saved from the wreck, the
depositors will be repaid nearly in full.
A 20 per cent dividend will probably be
declared at an early day. Sixteen hun
dred depositors have in the aggregate
on deposit with the bank $600,000. The
capital stock was 1260,000.
FOR BETTER HIGHWAYS.
Th. State Good Road. Convention At-
s crab led at S.cr.raento.
Sacramento, 1 Bept. 7. — Tbe good
roads convention commenced here to
day with a large attendance oi delegates
Irom all parts of the state. R. O Ir
vine presided, and committees were ap
pointed as follows •
Permanent organization—A. C. I(ink
son of Sacramento, J. A. Linscot of
Santa Oruz, F. E. Ketchum of Stockton
Orange, J. C. Gilbert of tbe Farmers'
Alliance, J. S. Maude of San Bernardi
no, I. DeTurk of Sonoma and J. M.
Fubron of Lassen.
Order of business—John T. Porter, R.
M. Vale, A. W. Hall. R. 0. Irvine, J.A.
Woodson and I. H. Reed.
Credentials — Green of Calaveras,
Stanton of Santa Cruz, Surface of Ama
dor, Brown of Humboldt and Weicstock
of Sacramento.
Tbe convention took a recess until 2
p. m.
Tbis afternoon A. B. Lemmon of So
noma was elected president. Other
officers were also elected. A paper was
then read by Rev. J. B. Koehne of Sac
ramento, written by Engineer McClin
tock of tbe Massachusetts highway com
mission, how to build good roads. A
paper was read on rood economics by
Engineer Ernest lAcCullough of San
Francisco.
The convention then entered on a free
conference. Delegates discussed the
road conditions of various oount'ies.
Finally the members desired some ideas
on which to build a plan of action for
the convention. Then ensued a lively
scene over an effort to call the roll of
counties and have each state its griev
ance. That waß defeated.
More free conference followed on road
laws and economics, engaged in by
Wetmore of Alameda, Douglass of Stan
islaus, Phillips of Amador, Price of Co
lusa, Hollo way of Santa Barbara, Fulton
of Lassen, Hebron of Ventura, and Mae
lin of San Francisco. The chief points
made were the condemnation of tbe
road overseer system'; tbat most of tbe
road money now spent is ill adminis
tered ; that there are few good roads in
tbe state; that more money is spent on
bad roads than in a few years would
build permanent ones; tbat road taxa
tion is higher than there is any neces
sity for; that road building ought to be
by trained road engineers or experienced
road builders.
Then came the event of the session in
tbe shape of a resolntion favoring bor
rowing money for a long term at a low
rate to build good roads, instead of high
annual taxation for poor ones. After a
hot debate the matter was sent to a
committee of one from each county to
formulate work for the convention, and
at 6 o'clock the convention adjourned
till Friday morning.

Near Chicago.
Chicago, Sept. 7.—A blunder made
today in the office of tbe train dispatch
er of the Pennsylvania railroad here re
sulted in the loss of 12 Uvea and tbe
injury of a score of people The acci
dent, which occurred near Colehour,
only 14 miles from tbe city, appears to
have been the result ot au iiiwceuuihle

pass south on a single track between
Colehour and Hammond, Ind., at the
same time a train waa due north on the
same track. Orders were given the op
erator at Colehorn for two of the traina,
but none for the third. An expreaa
train, which left thia city about 8 o'clock,
waa allowed to enter the single
track, running at the rate of 40 milea
an hour, directly toward a milk train
which had been given the right of way
in tbe opposite direction on the aame
track. The Panhandle expreaa had pro
ceeded but a short distance when a col
lision occurred. The engine ere ws saved
their Uvea by jumping before tbe two
locomotives came together with a crash
that wrecked tbem and drove tbe bag
gage car of the Panhandle exprcaß com
pletely through -the smoking car behind
it. In this car were about 40 people,
and in it the loan of liie occurred. Follow

When the engineera of the colliding
traina sighted each other coming around
a curve, they made every effort to check
the traina, but with little effect, and
when about 100 yards irom each other
jumped. \
The scenes around the wreck were
agonizing. The dead and woundeoVwere
pinned down in euch a manner that be
fore the wrecking train arrived it waa
almoet impossible to extricate any of

THE SOLONS IN SESSION
Senators Hammering Away
at the Repeal Bill.
Stewart Continues His Speech
in Opposition.
He Pays His Respects to President
Cleveland.
Pulitzer and James Gordon B.nn.tt Also
Touched Dp—Oar Btere Culls on
Secretary Carlisle for
Information.
By the Associated PreßS.
Washington, Sept. 7. —When tbe aen
ate convened this morning, Wolcott
(Hop.) of Colorado [presented a petition
which he said was signed by every bus
iness man in Durango, Colo., praying
for tbe repeal of the McKinley bill. He
Baid the petition waa on a blank form
sent out by banks for the repeal of the
Sherman act. The signers had eraeed
"purchasing clause of the Sherman
act" and inserted "McKinley bill."
Thia statement excited laughter among
the Republican senators.
Wolcott also submitted resolntions
directing the secretary of the treasury
to inform the aenate what anms had
been paid as bountiea on maple eugar
ander the law of October 19, 1890, since
the paeeage of the act, showing the
states in which payment had been
made.
(ialiinger (Rep.) of New Hampshire
suggested that the reeolution be modi
fied to include all augare.
Wolcott replied in an acrimonioua
tone that he waa able to prepare hia own
resolutions. [Laughter.]
The resolution was agreed to.
OUR STBVE WANTS TO KNOW.
White (Dem.) of California submitted
a resolution directing the secretary of
the treasury to inform tbe senate to
what extent tbe appropriations hereto
fore made for the enforcement of the
Chinese exclusion act had been ex
pended andjfvbat portion of the funds
was now available, and whether, in his
Opinion, further appropriations were
necessary to carry ont the provisions Of
the bill, and what amount would be re
quired for the current fiscal year.
Agreed to, <
Resolutions were reported from the
committee on contingent expenses al
lowing tbe claimants for senatorial Beats
appointed by the governors of Montana,
Wyoming and * a diiogtou, conipenm*
<***Mi'*ur '¥ritm< ■ rrr
curred in presenting their claims. Ob
jection being made, the resolutions
went over until tomorrow.
Shoup, Rep., of Idaho gave notice that
he would address the senate on the re
peal bill Wednesday.
REPEAL BILL TAKEN DP,
Voorhees moved tbat tbe repeal bill
be taken np. Agreed to, after Morgan,
Dem., of Alabama had said he intended
this morning to call np his resolution
creating a joint select committee on
finance, but found it on tbe calendar
and could not get it up without a vote
of the eenate, which he did not wish to
take for the purpose of antagonizing the
motion of the chairman of the finance
committee. He said Voorhees and him
self had a conference about the matter,
and had agreed he should not press his
motion today.
At 12 :40 the repeal bill was taken up.
Stewart. Hep., of Nevada, who is enti
tled to the floor on that measure, yielded
to Walthall, Dem., of Mississippi, who
proceeded to address the senate. He
favored the paßsage of the repeal bill, if
the declarations of policy contained in
ttie bill were embodied in tbe form of a
binding act.
STEWART CONTINUES HIS SPEECH.
When Walthall had concluded, Stew
art resumed the floor and started on the
third installment of his speech. He
read from the New York World, which,
he said, gave law to the senate. The
senate' should be grateful to Mr. Pu
litzer for advising it as to exactly what
the people of tbe United States think.
He was especially adapted to perform
that function by reason of the fact that
he wae born in Europe and now re
sided there. [Laughter. 1
Tbe Nevada senator then read from
the New York Herald to the effect that
the popular will on the silver question
had been expressed in unmistakable
terms and must be obeyed. "It is
true," said Stewart, "that Bennett was
bore in this country, but I think he haa
resided abroad for the laat quarter of a
century. Why should he aeaume to be
more familiar with public sentiment
than thoEe of ua who have lived here
all our lives?"
The chairman of the finance commit
tee (Voorheea) waa the next personage
to receive attention at the handa of
Stewart.
Dolph, Republican, of Oregon, at tbia
point ot the apeech aaid tbe absence of
a quotum waa manifest. Roll call
showed 57 senators preaeut, and Stewart
resumed.
Referring to President Cleveland, Mr.
Stewart Baid it waa a bad thing for the
American people that in hia early life
and riper manhood he had not been ear
rounded, ac Freeident Jackaon had been,
by tbe producing claßtea, by laboring
men and farmere, that he might sympa
thize with them. Cleveland waa reared
in a city; hia oflice waa in the Milla
building in New York, the very center
in the United States of European influ
ence. He aympathized witb his sur
roundings, and hia surroundings were
unfortunate for the American people.
Cleveland's organs, aaid Mr. Stewart,
praised him for the use of federal patron
age to procure the deatruetion of all
legislation that pointed to ailver. "I do
not charge him with it," aaid Stewart,
drawing himself to bis full height and
gDeaking with much warmth, "but if it
is not true he should exclaim 'Oh! God,
deliver me from my friends!' "
Stewart eaiu iiieio were several uluer
branches of the subject of which be
should treat hereafter (laughter), but
that be would close for the present.
There was a good deal of executive
business, Voorheea said, and he there
fore moved that the senate proceed to
tbe consideration of executive business.
The motion waa agreed to, and after a
brief session, with closed doors, the sen
ate adjourned.
THE VIRGINIA CAMPAIGN.
Fopnllsts Make Brave Endeavors to

Washington, Bept. 7. —The state cam
paign in Virginia with the administra
tion candidate, Congressman < iTerrall,
for governor on the Democratic ticket,
standing on the Chicago platform aa to
silver, and C. R. Cocke on the Populiat
ticket, for tbe aame office on a free ailver
platform, ia growing interesting. The
Populiat membera of congress, encour
aged over tbe financial fight so far, pro
pose to give tbe Populiets of Virginia all
the help poasible in the way of speakers,
in the belief that victory there will
greatly strengthen the party all over
the country. Today they issued a
proclamation to all Populiats who be
lieve in free coinage, outlining the situ

and confessed that he was the leader of

which baa already been printed. The
police are now searching for the one
robber not already in cnetody. The
man being eearched for ia Peunock'a

MONEY.
Customs Receipts the Smallest Since the
War—Secretary Carlisle Going to
Coin tbe Seigniorage
Bullion.
Washington, Bept. 7.—At no time
since tbe war have the customs receipts
been aa low as now. The matter is
causing Secretary Carlisle a good deal of
worry. In the treaaury last night the
cash balance was reduced to $105,000,000,
inclusive of the gold reserve and $10,-
COir.OlW ebi-O U und uucurrent subsidi
ary coin. What is loft of tn«*d«pi«lng
gold reserve continuea to be the only
caah balance in tbe treaaury with which
to pay current expenses. The receipts
are now running about $170,000 per day
behind the expenditurea. For the firat
time import duties have fallen below the
internal revenue receipts. For the fiscal
year from July Ist to the present time
tbe government expendituree exceeded
the receipta by $19,000,000. At thia rate
the deficit at the end of tbe year will be
very large.
Chicago, Sept. 7.—The Inter-Ocean'e
Washington special says: A most ex
traordinary rumor is current here, and
is believed by the congressmen wbo are
generally well informed. It ia to the
effect that Secretary Carlisle contem
plates coining the seigniorage without
any authority from congress, under the
general power which he claims is con
ferred upon bim to coin tbe gold and
silver seigniorage in tbe treasury, which
am junta to about $51,000,000. The aec
retary ia very urgent to do thia, and it
aeema to be the opinion that he will
venture it, unless the president shall
disapprove of it, without waiting for
any affirmative action from congress.
This rumor seems astounding, and it is
not only repeated but receives general
credit. Tbe secretary needs money be
cause the cuetoma receipta are falling
off and becauae importera, in expecta
tion of reduced duties, are making no
importationa.
GLADBTOi'K AND GLefVELAND.
Held Up as Models for loans Catholics
to Kmnlnte.
Chicago, Sept. 7.—Among the notable
gatherings in connection with the Cath
olic congress today was a meeting of the
Catholic Young Men's National union,
at which Archbishop Ryan of Philadel
phia made an address which attracted
much attention. He held np as a model
public man, who always bad the cour
age to do his duty in the face of opposi
tion, misunderstanding and calumny,
William K. Gladstone, a name that called
forth loud cheers, as an example of a man
wbo always felt hia responsibility to
God and tbe public, be couldn't give
them a better name than that of Grover
Cleveland, a name that was loudly
cheered. Tbe archbishop said Mr.
Cleveland represented the people of the
United States perhaps better than any
man who bad occupied the president's
chair eince the days of Washington.
Archbishop Ireland addressed two
large meetings of the Jewish women's
congress. He advocated religions liberty
for all people, whatever their race or
color. He particularly condemned the
persecution of the Jews in Russia, and
waa loudly applauded.

By the Associated Press.
Delta, Colo., Sept. 7.—The moat dar
ing robbery ever consummated in this
part of Colorado occurred here in broad
daylight thia morning. The object of
tbe attack waa the Farmers' and Mer
chants' bank, and while the eumaecured
ia small, the robbery resulted in the
death of three people—thecasfiier of the
bank and two of tbe highwaymen who
made the attack.
The robbery was planned on the lines
of those that have been so successful in
Kansas where the Daltons secured so
much money laet year. The belief is
that the bandits, if not members of that
gang, have at least been identified in
other robberies of a similar nature.
The bank opened for business as usual
at 10 o'clock this morning, At 10:30
three mouuted men rode up to the door
of tho bank and entered, quickly rushed
up to A. F. Blachly, cashier, presented
guns and demanded what money he
had. The cashier refused lo give it up.
Tbe robbers then made a grab through
tbe window, securing $500 and opened
fire. Tbe cashier fell, being instantly
killed. The robbers then fired at H. H.
Wolbert, assistant cashier, but missed
him. The shooting attracted the atten
tion of citizene, and Ray Simpson, a
leading hardware merchant and "dead
ahot," ran for bis Winchester and started
for the alley in the rear of tbe bank
where the robbers had tied their horses.
The robbera had started oat of town
when Simpeon got there, but he suc
ceeded iv killing two of tbem by shoot
ing them through the head. The third
shot killed one of tbe robbers' horses,
and together man and animal fell to tbe
