As soon as the col lapse of the During Brothers was announced the New York World sent n staff correspondent pendent to the Argentina Republic to inquire Into the investments which precipitated the failure. The correspondent after a thorough Investigation made a remarkable story , show ing how Charles II. Sanford , a Yankee drum mer for the sale of pills nnd toilet prepara tions , first secured membership in the Amer ican firm of S. 13. Halo .S ; Co. In Buenos Ay res , nnd after making $1,000,000 by a single financial coup went to London and won the confidence of Lord Itevolstouc , head of the During firm. Tlnnco returning to Ar gentine ho invested several millions of Dar ing gold in doubtful enterprises. _ Twenty-live years ago Sanford was on the coast of SouthAmericaand travele : ! as atlrum- mor for a New York firm deallngln drugs nnd chemicals. This firm failed and he turned his attention to the linn of S. B. Halo & Co. , whoso members were about to retire. IIo used the maternal love of Mrs. Pearson , daughter of Samuel Halo nnd the wife of John U. Pearson , as a lover to further his in terests. Ha argued that the glories of the old house of Halo & Co. , might bo revived nnd that In their operations there was a bril liant future for Mrs. Pearson's sons. The ambitious hopes the house imbued in the Ijldy's mind found co-operation in the minds 'of the other feminine members of the family , nnd although Mr. Pearson remonstrated , the house of Samuel B. Halo & Co. was continued with Lanman & Koinp's quondam pill drum mer , Sanford , ns ono of the partners. Sanford obtained full control and engaged in loolhnrdy enterprises which would have ended In ruin , but for the private fortunes of Halo & Pearson. Then came the stroke of the Yankee's life , thus described : Alter the revolution the provincial government found It necessary to consolidate the debt. In oi-j. dor to accomplish this purpose the outstand ing loans hud to bo taken up , Including the popular loan hold by Hale & Co. Tha real ability which Sanford possessed became ap parent. Through no anticipation of his own the loan had fulled and the personal re sources of the Pearson fnmilv nlono saved Itho houso. Sanford counted on an immedi ate sale of the bonds and the failure of the public to buy wns n crushing blow to his pride. Smiford Intrigued with the govern ment In behalf of tho-'popular loan. " and it is current hero that ho "subsidized" certain officials whoso favor was useful to \ the realizing of bis hopes. Golu and paper erenow ' at , par. The loan was taken up by In' ' nogovorninont In paper and the safes o'f Halo & Co. were cleared of certificates which cost the firm many an anxious mo ment , and sleepless night. The European loans were paid in gold and the profit which ensued , solely by reason of good luck and the parity of gold und paper , turned in a profit of upward of $1,000,0(10. ( Shortly after Sanford wont to England , where ho besieged Lord Hovelstoko , head of the firm of Daring Drothers. Lung varied nnd panoramic was the tale tlio man poured Into Hovolstoltc's oars. Sunford "talked to Uovelstoko about the extraordinary resources of Argentina and the unbounded prospects of the country. Soon the head Daring was hoard to say that Mr. Sanford was the cleverest man ho had ever mot. When Sanford departed from London , carry ing with him the confidence and admiration of Lord Hovelstoko , nnd with the millions of the Daring bank behind him to spend nnd invest , a universe of chances was revealed to his triumphant vision. The correspondent then relates in detail the story of the investment of Daring gold bv y an ford. First ho was obliged to subsidize government olllcials to obtain the great waterworks contract , and part of the story Is told in those words : "Tho estimated cost of the works on which Interest was to bo allowed was $ ; Wr > 0 ( > ,000 in gold. Tlio prlco of the concession to Daring Brothers through S. B. Halo , t Co. was $21,000,000 In gold , pay able to the minister of fiuuneo tu three Installments. This was the pub lic price , but there Is another Bide to the business , and it forms n dark chapter In the record of the Daring Brothers bunk. Nothing Is conceded from the Argentine Hcpnbllo without a prlco. The olllcials from president down to tlio Janitors In his office expect a consideration for their hcrvtces In addition to their regular stipend. The procuring of the concessions was ob tained , as was previously mentioned , by Charles II. Sanford , and a greater coup was never accomplished In this delletable capital , -wJcro ) bribery , corruption and fraud thrive ns they rarely do elsewhere. In order to se cure the great cuntract Sauford was com pelled to bid high , Mid the success that hu at tained placed him on n pinnacle toward tha npox of which tno loss fortunate operators of the rpcculatlvu market gazed with eves fraught with admiration. Jnurez Celiiian was the ehlof executive of Argentine , Ho was Hpo for boodlu before ho had warmed the president's chair , and at the time ho concession was granted Daring Drothers through Sanford , his need of money was great. IJr. Wild , another of the gang of sharpers who formed the boodle- ring uf Argentine , was minister of tlio interior. To these worthies S'liiford addressed himself nr.d their favor secured the prize. Celtmiu renll/ed upwards of $ .VX,000 ) for his "ten" in gaining these concessions. The additional sum of # 100,000 was also paid to thu presi dent , If the Ntntmncnts of same of thu most responsible here are accurate. The minister of the Interior received $300.001) ) for his -.hare of the deal. It proved a il ml cult task for this rorrcspnndcnt to truce the untiru disposition of the During corruption fund used in the waterworks denl. The belief Is current hero that nearly $ . ' ) , i)00,000 ) was spent In "prollmi- uarles. " Sanford Is popularly credited with secur ing a personal "commission" which put him high nbovo water In his course down the tlnunelul stroutn among the. bra/en kultles und earthen pots. Having secured this eon > tract Daring Drothers forwarded to Sauford two installments of JOtJO,0'jO each und a third of like amount wilt fall due this sum mer. Other sums were advanced at various times until now the correspondent estimates the government's llubilltly to Baring Brothers on this slnglo enterprise at nearly rwQOO,000. ) Ho continues : "Tho losses of the Darlnis I rom their waterworks Invest ment will not bo as grout proportionately as lu thulr pnrvhusus of bonds nnd other money lioro , which no ono oulsidu the confidential circles of the housu' employe * and these of " - pgoutj can iloscrlbo , 1 have mot with many difficulties In obtaining the simplest facts regarding the Barings' affairs. The government officials will disclose noth ing. The chief secretary of the treasury , otter promising to lay before mo certain 1m portnnt official drna , was constrained to change his mind nml politely declined. The 'rreumk.cutton ! . ofllro' system prevails hero In nil its complexity. The Inquirer who wishes to know anything Is regarded as a suspicious character , only to bo denied Information. " Notwithstanding these difficulties the cor respondent learned that amounts mnglni , from $ .VOTXVXX ) to twice or thrco times that amount were obtained by various provinces for "internal Improvements. " Ono of thest. 1 onus to Cordoba , the correspondent says , is larger than the entire province is worth The Darings also hnvo largo Investments Ii railroad bonds , but those , the correspondent thinks , will yield fair returns In time. tlKXMlll.li , titil < H''iI-tI > 'N She IHan Accomplished Young : Woman with a l < Tgo Port lino.

Yesterday after noon Joseph Drannon , aged nineteen , was nt work for Frank Yonngblood , a farmer living near Gilbertsvillo , nine miles south of this city , when three tramps called nt the house in the absence of the family and demanded something to cat. Drannon refused the request , telling of the absence of tro family. The refusal angered the tramps , and they assaulted the lad , throwing him to the ground and castrat ing him. Brjnnon's cries frightened the scoundrels before they could complete their worlc and they escaped , leaving tlioir victim in an unconscious condition.

If popular discontent wore allowed to manifest itself in free lines against the government's decision to main tain the com duties Germany would boablazo with denons'.ration. Slnco Chancellor Caprivi sunrlscd the country , including the agrarian party , with the declaration that the existing tariff must remain until tit least now treaty negotiations with other nations were arranged , the dissatisfaction among workingmen - men has become exasperating. The political parties , which are open to popular emotion , are becoming pcuotrateil with the sense that the government has made 11 mistake and must before long reconsider its decision in the fneo oi tlio increasing prices of cereals , and especially rice , which forms the staple of the people's food , JOvcn the official press speaks' In an apologetic tone of the attitude of the covcrii- ment. The North German Gazette stands utmost nlono In sustaining energetically the ministerial policy , urging that the suspension of the duties on cereals would not cheapen bread , while an abolition of the duties would Imply the revision of the whole protectionist tariff in the direction of free trade. The national liberal organs , while admit ting the severity of the pressure of dearness of the staffs of life upon worklngmon , plead that since all parties accept thu results of suspension the time is most opportune to give effect to it. The Vossischo Xuitung warns the govern ment and the ministers that the attitude of the people is assuming a menacing character. The Vorwaert and other socialist papers have not terms bitter enough to reproach the ministers. Even the agrarian Kn-uz Xei- tung attacks the chancellor's policy , declar ing that the protection party prefers a tem porary suspension of duties when it is rec ognized that such action is necessary to the acceptance of commercial treaties involving u permanent abatement of the tariff. The progressists in the lower house ot the Prussian diet have vainly tried to get the ministers to produce the reports on which their decision not to reduce the duties is al leged to bo based. Chancellor Von Cnprivi's estimates are held to bo of small value beside market facts. The Freissmnlgo Zoltung points out that the price of rye is now almost attaining the figure reached during the famine years of 1810 and 1817. As the session of the landtag will close within a fortnight , there ! . - , small chance that the opposition will get time to conduct a parliamentary agitation. They are therefore preparing for a campaign in the country. The socialists are active. They value the situation and will give energy to the oppo sition movement in every populous center. Meetings have boon held this week. Six have been hold in the Berlin districts , at which addresses were made by Ilerreti Llcbeck- nocht , Singer , Auor , Bobol , Schippcl and u number of other prominent socialists. They met with an enthusiastic reception when they branded the ministers as starving the masses to the advantage of the classes. \Vithin the cabinet It is reported that the dissensions are strong. Minister'Miguel do- maiuls n reduction of the duties , while Min ister Lucius opposes such a course. From various quarters of the country memorials reach the govern ment In favor of a suspen sion of the duties. The union of Industrial associations , after a prolonged dcbato on the proposal to hold an International exhibition in IS'.Hi ' , appointed a special commission to visit Chancellor Von Caprivi and ask him to ask the government for Its approval of the scheme. When the exhibition was first mooted Emperor William supported the proposition , but I'rinco Bis marck , who was then all powerful , treated it with something llko contempt. The pros pect of both national and olllcial support has greatly improved since then. Emil Zieffert , the American-Gorman ad venturer who was recently sentenced to two years Imprisonment for defrauding Mrs. Mo- Gulo of Detroit , Mich. , has succeeded in getting a new trial. As Mrs. McGulro has returned to the United States , and as she re fuses to appear against /Coiffort , it is likely that ho will t > o free.

Ho returned to Ber lin after this and commenced blackmailing Mrs. McGulro , Ho was tripped up on his blackmailing scheme , however , was arrested , tried and sentenced to servo two years in jail. Mrs. McGulro then ruturned to her homo In America , thinking ZeitTort had been dis posed of. A scandal attaches hero to a well known [ irofessor of the University of California , who Is charged with sending his youni ; wlfo and two grown daughters of Ills first wife to Gjrmany and leaving them without support and refusing them the money necessary tor their return homo. It Is possible that the [ irofcssor has nu explanation , which is not Imowu to the pcoplo hero who are interesting themselves In the family. The committee for the rollof of Ilusslan .lows reports that many Injured Hebrews are arriving at Charlottsburg. Those people were woumlod while Ilcolng from the liusslan > ollco.

Helen Smith whose escapade with Lecturer Harry Froncl stirred Koxbury to its depths , Is n wife toda.v without a doubt. She was married yester day to John N. Merrill , the London agent o Helen's father's big organ company , by L. C A. Beckwlth at her homo. It was n e-uic wedding , only the most Intimate friends o the family being present. In fact , only a very small proportion of the residents had any In tlimitfon of the affair. Harry Frcncl was not there. Several policemen wore stationed In the vicinity of the house for the purpose , it is stated , of Intercepting any nt tempt ho might make to disturb the ccro inony. But the faci had been zealously guarded and everybody who know about the ceremony was pretty confident that ho did not know of It. After 'ihn ceremony the couple Immediately loft for Europe. Thoj will live abroad. With this marriage cuds ono of the most remarkable episodes In the social life of Bos ton's suburbs. Helen F. Smith was the pretty twenty-year-old daughter of a wealth } resident of Koxbury. Slio was ono of the leaders in the country thereabouts when she mot Hurry French , a lecturer of roptito. Ho was llfty years old and n bachelor. Ho fell in love willi her and i was Mikl the passion was reciprocated. Tilings went pleasantly until a few months later , when for sonic reason Helen's mother objected to French's attentions to her daughter. Some said it was because Mrs. Smith herself felt jealous of him. She forbade him visiting Helen and soon after the young girl was sent away to London. Afterwards French talked freely to the press. Ho slid that Helen had boon secretly married to him and was llvii ) with him as his wife for six mouths before she left for Europe. Then ho gave out some of her let ters for publication. When these stories reached Europe Helen cabled over a com plete denial of the charged , declaring that French was a liar and u scoundrel , that she had never been guilty of aliy ill-conduct with him und that French's charge was made to injure her character and force her Into an acknowledgement of a marriage with him so that ho might irot some of her father's money. French then made a correction of his origi nal story , saying the ceremony performed was simply an agreement" between himseltj and Helen taken over a family bible. He said ho believed the ceremony legal until told that it was not by a lawyer. Then he caused some letters to be published , and the church to which he and Miss Smith belonged took up the matter. French and his brother testified that Union butt 5ycii as French's wife. The standing" copmlttoo' refused to believe these stories und appended French from membership. Fr6noT0Vio'h !

Helen was about to sail for nome when this story was received , anS Morrlll Instantly decided to accompany her to America and thrash French. In time they arrived , but French had disappeared.vBho standing com mittee of the church then tried Miss Smith on a-chnrgo of immoral conduct , and afiOr a long hearing , in which Frtinch appeared nnd made u strong case against her , she was com pletely exonerated. French complained of unfair treatment , nnd declared his intention of bringing * the matter before the courts. Of late ho has kept quiet and has not been heard from. Now that Miss Smith is married the last act in this social scandal is complete. VK It S1'\V 1CA TE. Frcnuh Combination Sald to Have Hecii Formed. Niw : YOUK , Juno 0. The Evening Sun says : For several days past there has been animated trmline in sllvor'bulliou certificates upon the stock exchange. ' The price , however - over , has ruled steady orqund 03 cents. It Is rumored in Wall street that n largo French syndicate has been fornk'd to purchase the entire stock of silver.

The head of the .syndicate in Europe is bought to bo the house of Thorsnh it Co. of Vienna.

As ho needs of the syndicate , whicn proposed o purchase about Hvo million ounces , are not ot filled the silver will "not its yet bo wlth- Irawn from the Mercantile trust company. f this were done the shortness in the supply vould become at once apparent and the prlco vould advance. The plan of the syndicate scorns to bo about is follows : It is thought the stock of silver icld in Now York represents u largo part of ho whole Heating supply. Last year Eng- and held a largo stoclt : of silver , but it has slnco been sent to Jnpau , India and China. Pno whole production of this country is ised up by the government in mcot- ng the legal requirements for colnapo and by arts , hence if Europe needs any more silver the syndicate , controlllPK practically ho larger part of the fioiting supply , will bo n a position to dictate tbb , price nt which It vill part with it. Moreover , as election time ipproachcs , It is thought tlitit the west will enow silver agitation and another effort will 10 made In the next congress to put through a free coinage bill , Silver wont up to jl.'O nst year In the expectation of free coin ego , and if the bill .should bccomo a law this year t will undoubtedly go tq that figure again. I'ho third paint the syndicate is suld to bo calculating upon is that tUo recent and pres ent troubles in Europe will force the gold tandard countries to uUopt n bl-motnlllu ' tandard. _ 1IIK 1 1 ' Vt Til Kit * 'M KCA H T.

Special to Tin ; BBK.J The baccarat trial will como to nn end Monday unless Lord Coloridu'o should deairo to go Into the miserable story at great length in summing it up. Everybody is tired of the case. Dur ing the last few days there has boon little cho than n , repetition of the same details , and the jury is apparently in a hopeless muddle about * , tie mysteries of biccnrat , ifi spite of nil the efforts of the loar.iod counsel to explain - plain the game. I understand that those who nro acting for Sir William ( Jordon-Cummingsaro fairly well satisfied with their pt aspects. They believe that thny have shown that five witnesses were deceived In what they supposed they saw , and they hope the jury will hesitate to confine an olllcer of the army , who has fought for his country , to eternal in famy. The solicitor general has already brandished Oordon-Cumminp.s' blood-stained sword with great effect in the faces of the twelve shopkeepers. The jury may say a verdict for Gordon-Cummings will not injure the defendants , whereas a verdict against him will drive him to suicide or flight. Let us give him another chance * Or even ono juryman may insist upon this and there will bo a disagreement. This is now the main dependence of Gordon-dimming and his friends. There is not much doubt us to the view taken by the lord chief justice. His occasional questions have pretty clearly in dicated which side ho Is disposed to bcliovo , but the public seams to bo much divided in opinion. Judging from numerous con versations and discussions I have heard , a good many maintain that Gordon- Cumrair.gs did not intend - tOjfchlSat ; , Other circumstances in the fiaso are much talked of. Why was baccar.it plnyod at Tranby court when it was known that the host had a great objection to it } If cheating took place ono night , why was the game repeated ? Why did not Mrs. Arthur Wilson or her son give Gordon-Cummings n friendly hint to retire from the scene ? Auy course was better than that which was actually pursued , for it has filled the public mouth with a scandal and placed the prince of Wales in a false and most unpleasant posi tion. His hosts ouijnt to have resolved to do mytulng rather than drag him into the con troversy. This is part of the penalty of not choosing one's company wisely. Papers nro already suggesting n scandal which reflects great discredit oif eaders of English society , but ' the people In whoso house the scones occurred would bo repudiated by the true loaders of society. They are new colors in field typos of a class who are gradually suporcodlng the old land gentry of England. , Tranbycroft Is in Yorkshire , where many of the proudest and best ot the ancient fuml- ios are still found. But what Is the condi- , ion of most of those families ) They havu joen impoverished by falling rank and ho ruin of agriculture. Some have eon obliged to sell their lands , others to close heir houses , blinds nro down , the doors are ockod and grass grows over the drives. In heir places have come men who have flour- shod in trade and before whoso advance claims of long descent count for nothing. Such are the Arthur Wilsons mid Lycctt IJrocno. They have heaps of money and the umlllcs who have boon on the soil slnco the days of William * the Conqueror invo llttlo or none , therefore royalties aiffl ashion flock to the homes of the former , vhtlo the latter are forgotten. Mrs , Arthur Wilson , the hostess of the iriuco of Wales , was a daughter of the post- nastcr at Leeds.

Among others seated at the table were Jack Klrby. night yardumstor of the Ulo Grande Western , a domestic , and Mrs. Sam Liday , the latter proprietress of the restaur ant , A moment later Sam Liday himself entered. Orders had been served to the croup , while Mary Anderson , the cook , was filling Ltdny's ' , who sat silently eyeing tha vr.rdmaster , who now and then addressed a remark to the women. None apparently suspected fiat death was lurking so near , but quick as the fatal messenger that came from the muzzle ot a formidable six-shooter , Liilay rose to his foot and levelling a Colt's ' It at Kirby began to empty Its chambers. Kirby fell from his chair with a groan , whllo the women tore away from the blood curd ling sconu.

The boy was dead ; the spirit had taken its flight ere the luay curl- iiiK smoke of- the assassin's revolver had settled , and wheeling , Liduy turned the weapon on bis own bosom. IIo paused for a moment as Mary Ander son , the cook , made her escnno from the back door and then took up his ap palling tusk again. It had evidently been de liberately blocked out In his mind. Ho only tinlted for a moment , nud then as the crncfc Of a third shot was heard his own form reeled and sank limp and dead upon the boil alongside the motionless form of his dead boy. He had done his work well. The cause of the deed was pcrfldy on the [ lartoC his wife. Lidi-.y had been absent for live months and during his absence the wife of his bosom was acting thopartof roncnuiiio to Kirby. Hu had threatened the woman a night or two ago and shu had promKod to ro- form. Last night ho saw something that aroused his suspicions with the above result. This is the sixth death by murder hero In Forty-eight hours , the other two being a soldier at Fort Douglas , shot over a gnmo ot cards Friday night , and the murder of a 'ninbler named Ed Callahau yesterday by Kirtics unknown. m jute-ran.
