A WORD ABDUT THE LEADING EVENTS OF THE WEEK. Panic of Last Week Over. The financial stress of last week, dur ing which numerous trust companies of New York and some in other parts of the country suspended, seems to have spent its force, and there is now in progress a steady recovery, with no untoward signs. The action of the treasury department in coming to the aid of the embarrassed banks with ready cash, loaned on ap proved securities, enabled most of them to withstand the runs made by deposi tors. These runs are now over. Home of the closed banks will shortlj' resume and probably all will eventually. During the panic, the great West inghouse con-I cern of Pittsburg went intoa receivership, ' but tlie business will continue until its! finances are adjusted so that tiie owners can take charge again. The Pittsburg ' stock exchange was closed. The very t heavy exports of agricultural products to Kurof are helping the situation materi ally giving us a trade balance at a time ' when it counts. cars at Accidents of the Week In a collision of electric Providence, K. I., Sunday, 4H persons were injured, eiglit of them seriously. A wreck on the Missouri, Kansas A Texas railroad Sunday killed the rlrt passenger in the history of the road. Two are dead and -5 injured. The Montreal express on the Adiron dack division of the New York Central was wrecked near Nehasane Sunday. It was composed of Pullmans. Only one person was seriously injur ;d. The train jumped the track while running 40 miles an hour. Spreading rails on the Chesapeake Ohio caused the derailment of a passen ger train near Klondike, Ky., Friday, in which an express messenger was killed. Long Air Voyage by Balloon. The second international long-distance balloon race, participated in by balloons representing America, Germany, Franc and England, ended in the victory of a German ship, the Pommern, with a ; French balloon a very close second. ; Both landed on the New Jersey Bhore of j the Atlantic, only a few miles apart. ! Eight balloons started from St. Louis, Mo. American entries finished fourth, fifth and eighth in the race, and the Eng- Mrs. M. W. Campbell is having a fort-li-uman last.

It was not, and l'llmo fell a victim to dummy cor respondence. An army reserve otfieer named Herton i under arrest fT a simi lar offense. Insurance Official Convicted. J)r, Ctillette, former vice president of the Mutual Life Insurance company of New York, was found guilty of perjury and sentenced to six months in the peni- ! tentiarv Monday. The offence was con nected with testimony given during the insurance revelations, when he first de nied and then admitted that he had placed 55,000 in a bank for the purpose of influencing legislation. Grafter Caught and Had to Settle. The Hartford Manufacturing company of Hartford, Conn., which had the con tract up to July 1, last, for manufactur ina stamped envelopes and newspaper wrappers, was detected in fiirnishim; a srade of paji( r inferior to requirements. Keinjr hrought to task, the company set tled by the payment of fl00,00() to the postotlice dejmrtment. Bryan and Hearst Talk It Over. On his recent visit to New York, V. J. Rryan held a secret conference with VV. K. Hearst at the latter's home. The two Democrats have not been supjwsed to tie very close political friends of late. It is conjectured that the presidential nomina tion was the subject in hand. Harden's Charges Sustained. Kditor Harden of lierlin, who was tried for defamation of character on a charge brought by (Jen. Von Moltke, won an acquittal. The suit grew out of an arti cle in Harden's paper in which he re ferred to certain infamous practices by members of tlie imperial court. More Money Needed for Navy. The naval estimates call for a greatly I increased budget the coming year. The t enlistment of 3,000 more bluejackets will be required by tlie new battleships now under construction. Additional docks and repair facilities on the Pacific coast will also be recommended. A Timorous Railroad Company. j The New York, New Haven & Hartford j Railroad company will immediately lay off 2,000 men employed in improvements to its property, pending the present j financial stress, though the earning capac- i ity of the system has been but slightly I affected so far.

Downing, at tlie Cottage hotel, died very suddenly about 5 o'clock yt sicrday afternoon from a stroke of apoplexy. He was jn-t starting from the house to go to the Smith farm south of the villige. where lie hud some stock that he attended to every night, and had crossed the shed with a dish of salt in his hands when he f. ll face downward ill the shed door. He was found by Mrs. Dowuing's little step-grandson, Ri.-hard Whipple, who ran to the chamber stairs and called her to come dow n quickly as something was the matter with her father. When she reached t he shed, Mr Farnham was un conscious and, as she turned him hack to look at his face, he gased and expired liefore Dr. Russlow could lie summoned from his house adjoining. j He had seemed to be quite as well as usual during the day, and had spoken to his daughter only a moment liefore he went into the shed. Tlie dread summons evidently came without an in-tant's warning. Gaysville Power for Liflhts. The White River Klectric company has entered into an arrangement with the Gh v v i lie Power company whereby the latter will furnish power for the electric lights in this village by means of an equipment that ensures belter lights than we have ever had with power from the; Rethel coir,any. The Gaysville concern has a 2-foot fall of water in the White river, producing 54)0 horsepower, with two engines one of j 200 horseMiwer and the other of 3t0 ; horsepower. Steam will provide auxili-' ary jMiwer for ue in times of low water. The Gaysville company furnishes day power for the Woodbury Granite com pany on the hill and the Woodbury stone i i sheds in Bethel, which, however, will not ' conflict with the night service for lights in thi8 PIace- The enK,nes nd two dvn"- mog will ,(K.te(1 at the rtone Hhe in order to be within easy reach of coal when steam is required. ; About two miles ot poles and wire bring the Gaysville power from the I granite quarries over Christian bill to a j point near the George Ilaraden farm, j where the Klectric Light company will 'connect. The distance being so much shorter than the nine miles from the Bethel company's plant, the power will be correspondingly increased. The Electric Light company feels con fident of being able to give greatly im proved service with the Gaysville power, with which connection will be made as soon as it is ready to undertake the elec tric light business.
