For be vend weeks this vicinity has been flooded with circulars of a so-called in vestment company, vhose head office is in this city. The company issues 91,000 bonds, the purchaser pays $10 ca re ceiving his bond and 1125 per month thereafter . Of the 110. $1 goes to stock holders and the balance to the i fficers of the company. One dolHr of the monthly dues, also goes to the credit of the stockholders. As soon as 11,000 is credited to the stockholders it is paid to the person holding the lowest numbered bond on which all dues have been paid. The officer of the company advertise that their scheme has been examined aod approved by Governor Humphreys. Insurance Commissioner McBride and Attorney General Ires. A letter was received by the editor of the Leven worth Time from Insurance Commissioner McBride saying tbat at one time he had examined the scheme, but instead of approving it had de nounced it in unmeasuted terns as a palpable fraud, without one redeeming ing feature. He also says that he has not suppressed the company because the attorney general decided that he had no jurisdiction over the company. Ciiculars of the company have been sent to the Postoffice department at Washington. It is said that there are many of these companies operating throughout the state. Fatal Accident while Ballooning. Oswego, X. Y, Sept. 4. George R Woods of Union Square, this county met with a frightful accident, at the Oswego county fair grounds yesterday, which resulted in his instant death. One of the attractions was a balloon as eension and parachute jump by Prof J. J. Frisbie. Woods was one of a num ber of volunteers engaged in holding the big gas bag on the ground while it was being inflated with hut air. When everything was in readiness and Prof. Frisbie was getting his parachute ready smoke was seen issuing from the bal loon. The cry was started that the balloon was burning and the volunteers all let go except Woods. In an instant he was whirling in the air and the hor rified spectators saw that he was en. tangled in the ropes. When about twentr-fire feet from the earth he part ly disengaged himself and let go the ropes. The ropes, however, were en tangled around his legs and he was soon shooting rapidly upwards feet first. He was picked up dead. About 10,000 persons were on the grounds and witnessed the accident Woods was 22 years old. He fell a distance of about seventy feet. Newg from Honcluln. Chicaod, Sept. 3. Hon. L. S. Thurs of Honolulu, who is in the city, said to a reporter that the McKinley bill has had the effect of uniting the native and foreign population of Hawaii upon the subject of annexation. He has just re" ceived one of the native newspapers, which advocates the formation of a re public or immediate annexation to the United States. This fact is remarkable as it is the first time in Hawaiian his tory that 4he natives have publicly favored such a thing. While it is true they are weary of the monarchy, yet nothing but the blow at Hawaii's sugar industry could have brought them to favor annexation. The hope of planters there is that the president wiil net year exercise the power given him to place a duty again upon beat sugar for from such countries as have not recip rocated with the necessary free entries. This would relieve the burden, but at any rate the Hawaiian are preparing to negotiate with the United States for free trade. Thurston saya now that the sugar industry is no longer a great source of income, it is intended to bring the Islands prominently before the world as a land for tourists. Elj-bt l.lTf LottT Halipx, N.

U Beluced i ld r Ntw Yoek, Sept. i An unconfirmed report reached the city yesterday from Santiago that Balmaceda, ex-dictitor of Chili, has been killed in the moun tains while trying to effect his escape. According to the story Ba'maceda left Santiago on Saturday night before the rioting commenced, ile took his fami ly with him and carried a great deal of personal property, including a consider able sum of money and some valuable jewels. Whsn he reached a point a few miles outside the city he and his family abandoned the carriages in which they had been traveling anl took a special train which was in waitine to convey them to Los Andes, thirty two miles northeast of Santiago. Here Balmaceda left his family and ft ilh a companion started on Monday ni-ht to make his way across the moun tains his ultimate purpose being to reach Buenos Ayres. The weather was bitterly cold and the snow on the ground made travel very difficult Bal ceda rode a mule, which was the only animal that is of any use in the moun tain pass through which he was making his way. Tuesday morning the mule teers began to grumble and wanted to turn back, as the weather was becom ing so severe and the enow so deep that they feared they would lose their lives. Balmaceda, knowing tbat almost cer tain death awaited him if he returned, refused to turn back, and in a fit of passion struck one of the muleteers, who retaliated by drawing a pistol and shooting the ex-president on the spot. His companions tben killed Balma ceda's companion, and after rifling their pockets, made their escape. The bodies, according to the story sent here, were found by a party of mountaineers and returned to Los Andes .No further particulars could be ob tained. The news created great inter- eat in this city, but no one seemed sur prised, as it was generally believed tbat the unfortunate man would either lie killed or perish with the cold before he reached a place of safety if he tried to make his escape by crossing the Andes Mr. Fowler, the manager for W. R Grace & Co., admitted having beard the report but said tbat he had received no confirmation of it Held op tba Trail. Cairo City, Col., Sept 3. Seven men held u p the east bound Rio Grande train Tuesday night near Catopan. The highwaymen compelled ths flagman at Texas Creek to give up all the torpe does in his possession and forced him to flag the tain. As soon as it stopped the engineer and fireman were held up at the point of a rifle. The fireman was relieved of his fine gold watch end was then forced to pick the lock and break in the door of the baggage car under a fire from the express messenger. The mail car doors were all broken in, but nothing was taken from the car. The express messenger made a deter mined resistance and used bis revolver to good advantage, but whether anyone was killed is not known. The tight was a fierce one though it lasted only a few minutes. The masked men tben com pelled the messenger to open the safe, from which they took $3,000. Horses were in readiness and as soon as the rob bery was accomplished the desperadoes fled to the mountain valley. They did not disturb the passengers. A posse was summoned and left for the scene at once. Trinidad was wired for tbe blcodhounds that have been in strumental in running down seve.al criminals. They will be hurried to the scene on a special train and put on the trail as soon as possible. With tbe ef forts being made it is thought tbe rob bers cannot escape. Desveb, Sept. 3. A number of Pink erton detectives were dispatched for tbe scene of the robbery oa tbe Rio Grande road. Minister Egan Heard From. Washington, D. C, Sept 4. At last the depai tment of tbe State has heard directly from Minister Egan. The news came in tbe form of a cablegram from Santiago dated September 1: Decisive battle Valparaiso twenty eighth August: Revolution entirely successful. Even thing tranquiL Eoaw. The delay in receiving this report is owing to the fact that telegraphic con nection between Santiago and Valpa raiso, the western cable terminus, has been cut and just restored, and that the line eastward from Santiago to Buenos Ayers was interrupted by I he heavy snows in tbe mountains. Although the telegram indicates the succeee of what Esn describes as the revolution, he has not yat informed the Department of State whether a government has been set up tbat may be recognized as the government of the people of the country. Accordingly the department will prob ably await further detailed information before according formal recognition of the new government Jay Gould has discharged general freight traffic manager Leeds, for a triffiing disobedience, but tt is claimed that there is an unseen scheme in it and that Leeds will draw his salary as here- The heavy decline In wheat baa caus ed a dull market for flour, aad tbe big mill are not turning out their usual quantities. .

Order l e ng Itetored After Hie JJIwMiy Itatlle Balaaarrda't Compaalout Captured aaa H Monty Couli.lnll. KG AN Mill JiDEBSTOOD. Valparaiso, Chili, Sept 0. Balma ceda w.ll not have as much money when be reaches Europe as Le thought he would by over 10,000,000. One of his most arde-t supporte.s and closest friends, Denuty Verduga, was captured today at Falca while he was making liia way out of the country with the purpese, it is supposed, of joining hia fleeing chief, either at Buenos Ayers or in Europe, lie was taken to Santiago and turned over to the authorities. He Carried with him 1300.000 in Chilian bank notes and ?80O,O0O in drafU on London. This of sourse was p-otnptly con fisciated by the representatives of the junta. It was at first supposed tbat SenorVerJuga had accompanied the late president in his flight over tbe mountains, but a sharp lo kout was kept for him and (be funds neverthe less, and his capture filiowcd. There ia little doubt but tbat Balma eda is making his way over'the Andes moun tains through the sou ih pass. It would te impossible to stop him now. Minister Egan's friends are doing 'heir best to dispel tbe impression that he has acted offensively as a partisan of the late government One of them an American by the name of Spencer, is authority for the statement that it was largely due to Mr. Egan's efforts that the president decided to turn over the government to General Baquodano and give up the struggle. This was done iccording to Mr. Spencer's story in the face of the opposition of Balmaceda'a ministers, who insisted that the victory of the revolutionists at Plaoilla was not decisive, and were desirous of keeping up tbe fight despite the fall of Valparaiso, Ile this as it may, the bitter feeling against Mr. Egan in particular and Aoiorn ins in general sbows no signs of abatement. The concrecsional leaders profess to be puzzeled at tbe continued refusal of the State department at SVashington to recognize their envoys lit the capital, and are generally in clined to attribute the tardiness to ulterior motives, though just what they may be they do not say. There are vague rumors of fat contracts and ni irale beds in the air, but nothing lefinite is specified. Xo further nwa has been received boro from thi mob stricken town of .oroneL ' I am assured, I owever, that the provincial government has taken steps which sill result in ,the restor ation of ordefthere in a shcrt time. It is altogether probable that it may re quire some fighting to get tbe rebellious soldiers and miners- under subjection, and it is perfectly safe to say tbat tbe ringleaders will be shot as soon as they are captured. Elaborate preparations are being made for the reception of the members of the junta, who will arrive hereon the steamer Arequipa from Iquique. Their arrival will be made tbe oecaeion of general rejoicing. Many of the bdie8 of tbe dead which have been lying on the battlefield near Placilla were buried, and the balance of iheni will be cremated. About all the vounded in the various fights which fallowed the landing of General Cantos army at Quintero bay have been brought in and are receiving proper attention at the hands of the volunteer ambulance corps. Temporary hospitals had been fitted up wherever possible and room was made for all of them. Intendente Walker Martinez has got the city government here in fair work ing order and Valparaiso is gradually settling down into its ante-bellum state. The same is true of Santiago, where the leaders of the government are now waiting tbe arrival of their confer res. A proclamation has been issued to the effect , that any per son who is harboring men who were not officials under Balmaceda and fails to give them up to the authorities will be shot I have just received word from Santi. ago that Balmaceda in his flight left bis family behind. They are now being cared for by Senor Dominingo Torres brother-in-law of the fugitive president but who is himself a strong supporter of the congressional ists. Many instances of the unreliability of the late government, so far as abiding by its promises ia concerned, are coming constantly to light One of the latest is the killing of tbe valuable herd of blooded cattle belonging to Senora Edwards. Balmaceda promised Minister Egan and Consul McCreary last June tbat this herd should not be interfered with, on tbe grpund that nearly all the improved cattle in Chili were bred from it. A dispatch received from Ranch Mailla says that on August 2 1 an order from Balmaceda was presented, in ac cordance with which eighty-nine valu able imported cows were killed.

Ferry had leri: alloweJ a breath of pure air in the store yard, whet one of the guards came along tmd or Jered him back to the duoge n Ferry iefu9ed to go and begged for a few min utes more in the daylight. The guard Bprang at him and knocked him cIowd with a blow o! his club. The oti.er con victs alleged that he and three others jumped on bis chest and body. He lay upon the ground stunned and uenseleea with blood Mowing from his month and nose, and yet he was Bragged by bi throat to the stairs and thrown into tlu black bole, they state, without medica1 attendance, though he is known to have been severely injured internally. A reporter waited on Warden Oulniet That gentlemen while so'tenicg the matter all he could, admit'ed that he bad been compelled to fine and suspend 6oae of bis guards for cruelty to pris oners. The guard, Henry, who commit ted the assault on Ferry, had been 4bus pended for two days and fined for strik ing prisoners, and be had to warn others that the men were to be treated as hu man baings and not as brutes. The story told to him by the gua-dB wiis that Ferry was insuuord :nute. They claimed that be rifused to work and it," cited the other convicts tc mutiny. On the 2'lrd the chief keeper tolJ li:m ll.aj Ferry had refused to work again and h had beenjaentenced to the bla;k hoi'. Henry and aiother guard seized him, when he struggled furioua'y, and they were compelled to olub him into sub mission, as they were forcing him along to hia dismal hole, he turned an! strug gled until Henry lost his temper and used his locust freely on him. Hs.nry admits losing his temper but says Ferry's abuses and attempts to strike him fairly maddened him and he could not help it. The warden sa; s that Ferry was not so seriously hurt as he Bays and that he refused medical attendance, and also that it is not true that his mother was not permitted to fee him because his head wag mashed to a pulp by the clubs of the guard?. But this does not satisfy the relatives of the injured man. Old 2onvicti claim that this case is only one of rainy, and the fact remains tbat a man has Wd placed two years out of four in Bolitary confinement in a loathsome cell, de barred from light, from fresh air and from the companionship of man.

The fol lowing monthly crop bulletin has been issued by the Weather bureau: Au gust was warmer than usual oa the Atlantic coast, in the lower lake re gions, Michigun and all states on th6 Pacific const, but Co ler than the aver age temperature for August throughout tU central valleys. Frosts occurred in the extreme northwest about the 20th, but the wheat crop was so well ad vanced that only very slight dnmage occurred in the ex'.ietne nor .hern par tions of Minnesota and North Dakota, Frost reached tl,0 northern boundary of Iowa, but reports generally indicate no material injury resulted to the corn croi. Preceoding the occurrence of these frosts wurnings were sent out by this service to the cranberry and to bacco regies of Wisconsin which en ubled farmers to take the usual pre cautions and prevent Injury to theee crops. Reports indicate that the frosts were quite severe in exposed localities and the crop injured, although doubtless much benefit must have resulted from ihe frost warnings. Tbe rainfall was greater than usual in the interior of New England and middle Atlantic staUp, The rainfull was also inexceesfrom the lake region west ward to the Pacific coast along the Northern boundary of the United Slates and in tbe states of the central Miss issippi valley. Portions of Texas and Colorado also report limited areas of excessive rain. Tbe corn crop is late and will probab ly require about two weeks more of fav orable weather to place it beyond injury from frost Of course this does not apply to tbe condition of the crop in southern Kansas and thenc eastward to Tennessee and Kentucky, where the crop is now well idvanred. Too Many Able llodled Veteran lo the lloiue. Milwaukee, Wis, Sept 4. Nearly alt the old soldiers now in tbe national soldiers' home who are now able to work will be compelled to leave the in stitution very shortly. This is the r suit of action taken recently by the national board Laving charge of these veterans. Tbe question of pensions will cut no figure and nh able bodied men with or without peusiocs will have to leave. Ihe action of the nationol board was caused by the discovery that the national houses all over the country were greatly overcrowded and that many of tbe inmates were vigorous and hardy men, fully able to euro their liv ing. This was especially true of the horns near this city. It was decided to order a tbarough medical examination of all inmates of the various l,ranr,h of tbe home with a view of reducing the numb r of permanent inmates by hav ing all able bodied men secur nnul.u employment and beoome independent of tbe home.
