Treasurer Hyatt reports the surplus Friday as 443,100,000, an increase of nearly since the same day of last month. Treasury officials, however, believe that heavy payments to be made next month will again re-dace the surplus to about 000 by the first of September. The revennes so far this month amount to over $32,000,000, an average of more than $1,000,000 a day. The expenditures during the same time, including $11,600,000 paid for pensions, amount to about leaving an excess of receipts of $0,500,000.

The expenses so far this month have been less than was anticipated by reason of the navy department to make certain expected requisitions. At the same time the receipts were greater than was estimated July Chief-Engineer Melville has submitted to the secretary of the navy the designs for the machinery of the two new 19-knot cruisers, which he promised to have ready by the first of August.

FOREIGN. if I The Belgian chamber of deputies, by a vote of eighty-three to i thirty-five, has rejected the proposal to extend the right of suffrage. Brr'els despatch: A fire at Liedekerke, in Brabant, yesterday destestroyed thirty-three houses, depriving 200 persons of their homes.

The report is confirmed that the Russians are fostering the republican movement in Bulgaria to increase the anxieties of the Bulgarian government i 1 The Rev.

The testimony of ithe physicians who made the autopsy was tolthe effect that strychnine and arsenic were found in the dead woman's btomacb. i The Marquis of Hartington publishes a let ter to reiute the assertion made by Sir U. O. Trevelyan that Mr. Gladstone had offered to confer with the liberal-unionists on the Ques tion of home-rule for Ireland with a view to arriving by mutual concessions at a reunion of the liberal party.

Mr. Gladstone never made such an offer to me," Bays Lord adding: Mr. Gladstone has not said a word to indicate a tendency to accept the conditions which nave stated are indispensable to a reunion of the party. Mr. Trevelyan, therefore, has no right attack to the lib eral-nnionists for refraining from entering into negotiations tending to compromise tbeir poaiuon." Branch Ordnance Foundry.

-1 i Secfetary Whitney announces that the negotiations i whufh have been pending for months between the navy department and the Hotchkiss ordnance company have cul minated in a contract, the effect of which will be the establishment of a branch manu factory for Hotchkiss ordnance In this country. Our secondary batteries." the secre tary said today; 11 have heretofore been made abroad, and the erection of an establishment for their manufacture in this country will mars anotner cma a most important era in the reconstruction: ot tne navy. Mr. tiotcn- continued, "was an American. When! be died in 1884 England, France, Germany, Russia, Italy, very im portant European power in fact, had an estaousnmenx zor tne manuiacture or tLolcn-kiss ordnance.

The company's investigations nave elicited tne ract that, taking the superiority of American machinery into consideration, the guns may be made as cheaply here as abroad. h- It was a matter of necessity with us either to set tip a manufactory of our own or get the Hotchkiss company to come here, hence we can no longer afford to be dependent upon other countries for our war material. Machine guns have i become an indispensable branch of naval armament. The six-pounder rapid-nre Hotchkiss gun requires but one man to control it, and discharges twenty-three shells per minute I with a velocity Sufficient for the penetration of a two-inch steel plate one thousand yards distant. These guns are especially serviceable against torpedo boats, unarmored ships and in clearing the exposed decks of iron-clads.

The company is now developing a nine-pounder and is experimenting with a thirty-pounder. With the Bethle hem iron company contract and this one executed, American' shipbuilders will be able to build and arm warships entirely troni American manufactories." Accident onj a New Jersey Rail' jl-j road. New York, July 29. A serious accident occurred today on the Northern railroad of New Jersey. Fortunately no one was hurt, but the escape: from an appalling loss of life was simply miraculous.

About 7 o'clock this morning a wildcat train was speeding along toward riorwood and the engineer was given orders to take the side switch. The train was going at a terrific: rate when it reached the place. Eyewitnesses say the train was going at the rate of 45 miles per hour. The statioumaster stood at the switch ready to opsn it, bat no signal was given and ne did not open it. ins Northern railroad is leaesd by the Erie.

A train from Nyack of the Erie started shortly after seven. It was going at a lively rate when earing Norwood and both trains crashed into each other. The wildcat train was completely demoralized, the cars being split into kindlingwood. Both engines were wrecked. The first car of the passenger train was demolished, bnt the two passengers it contained becoming aware of the (danger jumped before the collision occurred and saved tneir lives.

I rne reversing or tne levers by the engineers prevented a more serious UIWHrCT, Death of Judge Quinn. Saratoga, July 29.

The Cblamblan Bank of Philadelphia Hak aa Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors. Fheladei.phia, July 30. The Columbian Bank, a state institution, closed its doors this morning, and on the door a notice was posted stating that by order of the board of directors the bank would make 'an assignment for the benefit of creditors. At noon another notice was issued saying the assignment had been made to S. Edwin Megargee and F.

P. Kr-can, two attorneys. All efforts to obtain any statement as to the amount of liabilities or assets proved futile, both the bank officials end the assignees declaring they had not had time to Inquire into the condition of It is believed, however, that the failure Is a complete one. A partial statement of assets and liabilities is promised this afternoon, although it is doubtful if anything very definite can be learned before a thorough examination has been made, and this will consume considerable time. The failure caused some excitement i in the city, although among financial men it was not much ot a surprise.

New York, July SO. At the office of H. I. Ives Information is refused regarding the embarrassment of the Columbian Bank ot Philadelphia, through their dealings with the firm. LATER.

President Phillips promised a statement at noon, but at that hour he stated that it would be impossible to get it ready before 3 P. when he expects to be able to give some idea of the bank's condition. Ives, of the Ives- Stayner party, has been a very large customer of the bank, a single item of his business recently reaching the enormous sum of 600,000. It is positively stated by the bank officials that Mr. Ives is not in Philadelphia today.

They assert that he went west last night, and say that if be had been in the city he would certainly have been at the bank. They decline to state whether or not be is at presont indebted to the institution to any great extent. The assignment was decided upon, it is said, In order that the collateral in which the bank's funds are locked up might be judiciously realized upon, and some think that with proper handling the assets can be made to meet all the liabilities in full. The capital stock of the bank is $300,000. According to their last statement they had on deposit $400,000, and owed to other banks (150,000.

There are other liabilities amounting probably to $333,000, making their totalliabilit-ies $985,000. 1 1 he bank had a branch at Germantown, the business of which consisted mostly of small deposits made by the working class, and this was also closed this morning. The assistant cashier in charge of the German-town branch assured the depositors that they would be paid in fulL The Columbian Bank were the agents of the American Exchange in London and in Paris.

CHECKS THROWN OUT.

C0LEXBIA3 BASE, PHILADELPHIA, 15 TROUBLE. A Lack of Fnndi, Statement of Bank Officers. Causes wblcfe Led to the to offer. New York, Jnly 30. A Philadelphia despatch says that the checks of the Columbian bank, 433 Chestnut street, were thrown out yesterday by the Farmers Mechanics' National bank, because of the lack of funds.

A reporter called at the bank before 3 p. and the officials refused to confirm or deny the report, or make any statement. President Bell of the Farmers Mechanics' bank, at which bank the Columbian bank keeps its account said: "The Columbian bank's checks were refused because they had no money here." President Bell refused to give Bay farther information. It has been known for some days that the Columbian bank was in a rather precarious condition. It is said the cause which led to the difficulty was the acceptance by the Columbian bank of the paper of Henry 8.

Ives of New York. For sometime pa3t ths bank has been doing considerable business for Ives and recently its acceptances for them amounted to as much as $100,000 at a time. This money, one of the bank's officials said on Tuesday, was promptly paid. We have been doing considerable business for Mr. Ives since," he added, and we consider that we are amply secured." The bank officials refused to state the amount of Ives' busineES with the bank since the payment of the 100,000, and reiterated the statement that the institution was fully Other money of the bank Is tied up in advances on drugs and articles of merchandise from Mexico which at this time it is impossible to realize upon, and which the consignees are not able to protect.

A gentleman in a position to know, who is not an official of the bank, said he supposed tho liabilities would be from $300,000 to 000, and that the persons who had made small deposits in the bank would be the chief sufferers. The trouble was apparently precipitated by the failure of Ives to honor a draft for (10,000 drawn on them by the Columbian bank. President Phillips, of the Columbian bank, was In New York yesterday in consultation with Ives Co. When he re turned he said the non-payment of the draft was owing to a blunder," and that the matter had been adjusted and the draft set off against the firm's account with the bank. The bank has a branch savings bank In German town, largely patronized by mill operatives and other working people.

THE CROPS. Condition of Wheat, Corn, Oats, In All Parts of the Country. I i Rochester, N. July 30. The American Rural Home of this city, from its 5,000 special crop correspondents in all parts of the country makes the following summary: The spring wheat prospects have Improved during July, but owing to early spring conditions and unequal distribution of rain, the fall crop is streaky.

Harvest is well ad vanced. Along the important area of the Northern Pacific railroad the prospects have Improved very much. West of James river an average of ten bushels per acre is re ported. In Dakota the crop is fairly good, averaging fourteen to seventeen bushels per acre. I In many sections the quality of winter wheat is poor and unsatisfactory to millers, while other sections report the.

contrary. Threshing has advanced so far that the outlook now is that the production for this season will be from thirty to thirty-five million bushels less this year. As to corn, Illinois grows more than other states crop there has been greatly injured by drouth. In Missouri the rainfall has been greater and corn was never in as fine condition as now, with few exceptions. Kansas is sure of a good crop.

Nebraska promises a large crop. In Iowa the prospects have improved and the outlook is fair. Oats have been secured in fine shape and threshing is progressing. The outlook of the crop is good. Pastures in many places are ruined for this season and more rains are needed quite generally.

The story pt the attempted rescue of Mrs. Trugo and her babe, as described in later accounts, is one of peculiar horror and pathos. The police and firemen had rescued her husband and four elder children, but she was in some manner, readily ascribable to the confusion of the moment, neglected. Left with her two-year-old baby, Mary, the poor another resorted the window. A fireman saw her and pronging back through the smoke he returned to her chamber.

All escape from thai rear with such a burden as a woman and child was impossible. He thought of the bed-cord and tearing it out bound the woman and her baby with it and pushed them through the window. He payed out the rope Until from the beat and smoke he was ready to fall to the floor, when he fastened the upperend to the bedpost and Far from accomplishing his gallant purpose ho had but too surely compassed the destruction of those he sought to save. His rope was too short, and instead of dropping the woman and child to the ground, or within reach of those; below, he bad suspended them in front of a first floor window from which the fire poured as from a furnace door. I She swung there, ten or twelve feet from the ground, writhing, shrieking and struggling as the fire swept off her garments and choked and actually broiled her alive, the baby in her arms.

By the most singular fatality the names which were destroying her left the rope intact. It became a necessity if not to save the woman to at least remove the revolting sight. The duty was assumed by Captain William H. Cowan of truck No. 8, who might have ordered another man to the tat-k, but who chose to chance the; fate which he was told by the horrified spectators awaited his efforts.

Seizing a laddiar he threw it up to the blazing window and with an axe mounted and stood on its blazing rung. He deliberately entered the flames and as they encircled him from ihelmet to boots he struck at the rope. He could not see the rope and struck with Inac curate aim. once, twice, as the clothing tell from him, he struck in vain. Ati the third stroke the blade cut the rope.

Simultaneously the burning ladder broke andi the three blazing human beings fell to the ground. The baby was already dead, the fnother died a few hours later and the captain at his home in what is thought to be his death agonies. Two bakers, Essen and Ansbatcher, who are believed to be responsible for the neglect which caused the fire, have been arrested. The police say the pair became drowsy from drink and instead 6f watching the stove, fell into a stupor from; which they only awoke when they and the tenants above were at the mercy of the flames. Curious Case Decided.

WashIngtoh; July 29. The secretary of the interior today denied the claim of Wm. Hedgspetch, private in the 43d Indiana volunteers. The case is an uncommon one, and has been the subject of much discussion by pension officials. Hedgspetch was captured in 1803 and confined as a prisoner at Ander-sonville.

After remaining in captivity five months he enlisted in the confederate army, he saysj to escape starvation, and so informed bis fellow-prisoners, and that at the first opportunity he would desert, and if possible make his way back to his old command. After a short service tn the confederate army he carried out this intention and finally reached his old regiment in which he served Until discharged. Some years ago he applied lor a pension on the ground oi disability contracted while in the federal service. This fact was fully sustained. The law provides that no one aiding directly or itidirectly the enemies of the government in the late war shall be permitted to draw a pension.

Hedg-spetcht's brief connection with the confederacy made him amenable to the law. His motive, it is said, cannot be taken iiito consideration. The papers in the case, which are very voluminous, include a strong protest against the payment of Jhe pension byCom- First Edition. TWELVE NOON. Associated Press Special Wire.

IMTENATIONAL iRIFLE MEET Geneva, July 30. At the opening of the International rifle meeting here, a sp33ch was made by M. Droz, the president of the federal council.

He said that dwing to the wisdom of the leading Eurojpean cabinets peace was now as'sured. The natives of Europe did not wish to go to war; they desired to develop their resources in peacef. The people of Switzerland had been foremost In main. taining peace; at the same time; it was their duty to make every sacrifice in proper to preserve the Independence of the Country. The government of Switzerland would constantly endeavor to preserve the peutrality of the country, not relying upon treaties only, but upon their own strength and Energies.

He therefore urged upon the citizens of Switzer land to be assiduous in improving in military training, to add such training to the educa tion of youth, to hold rifle contests and to perfect drill, all of which work should be animated by a free, fraternal spirit.

The attention of President Fitzgerald, of the Irish National League, have been drawn to the announcement of the formation a new Irish organization In Chicago to be known as the Anti-Coercion Society, independent of the Irish National League of America. Mr. Fitzgerald aid he could see no necessity for any such organization. On the contrary, he could see ample reason why honest Irishmen should discountenance the movement.

The Irish National League of America, he said, is doing all that can possibly be done by any other organization to afford Ireland moral and financial assistance for any constitutional movement of Farnell and his coUegues, The platform is broad enough for men of every shade of opinion, and funds entrusted to Its reverend treasurer are placed beyond the breath of mistrust. Furthermore, all branches working with the league receive all the credit that can ba obtained by working in connection with the home organisation. Mr. Fitzgerald said that any organization which refuses to work in harmony with the National League stimu lates dissension and disintegration. As rule, he added, "originators of these dissident bodies are disappointed faction ista whose own idea of their Importance Is not shared by the authorities of the League.

New York, July SO The selling yesterday which caused the heavy liquidation in the af ternoon, developed into a panic at the open-; ing of the Stock Exchange this morning, and stocks were sold at any sacrifice, the only object of the brokers' seeming to be the closing of accounts of ruined speculators. The great est cause of the decline was the non-appearance of Harry Powers, who took the place of Russell Sage as the leading writer of privileges on the street. His business was enormous, and many operators held his puts and calls as security against their stocks. At the firm of Gould Henry no statement could be obtained, although one of the attaches ad mitted that Powers i was embarrassed, bnt said he would probably come out all right and settle everything in full. I There need be no suspension today, even though Powers is bankrupt, as the half-holiday prevents any stock from being put to him today.

I The prices at the opening were not far from closing last nighf figures, but the news cf Powers' non-appearance caused the offering of stocks in such volume that prices began a rapid decline, which was only limited by the fact that no ca3h could be realized from any sales made today.

A mixed train from Fittsfield was on time and started from Suncook for Hooksett to connect with the forenoon train for Pittsfield. The train was on a siding a short distance this side of Hooksett, when the passenger train, by reason of a misplaced switch, ran upon the siding and crushed into the locomo- Ive of the mixed train. Both locomotives were badly wrecked as were the baggage and mail car of the passenger train and many of the freight cars in the mixed train. The engineers and firemen of both trains had time to jump, and escaped serious injury.
