SHRADER ON THE STUMP.

D. Shrader, the independent candidate for lieutenant governor, and Hon. J. S. Hoagland of North Platte.

Mr. Shrader opened with an hour's harague about the greenback issue during the war and a howl about the mortgage indebtedness of Nebraska. His speech was rnade up entirely of assertions backed np neither by argument, logic or facts. Mr. Hoagland followed with a logical and entertaining speech upon the issues between the political parties and hit Shrader pretty harden some of the latter' wild assertions.

Mr. Hoagland held the close attention of the audience for a full hour and a half and gave the voters of Logan county much to think of between now and the November election. Shrader was granted all the time he wanted to reply, but had he finished his speech he would have done so to empty chairs, for the audience Boon got weary of his rehash of what he said in his opening talk and left him standing on the platform begging them to hear him through.

SOMERBY'S BANK CLOSED.

Directors of the Philadelphia Concern Make an Assignment. Philadelphia, Aug. 16. The Mutual Banking, Surety, Trust and Safe Deposit company, in which a large amount of money belonging to the order of the Iron Hall is deposited, made an assignment this morning by order of the directors to A. E.

Stockwell of this city for the benefit of the depositors. Stock-well is attorney for the bank. Neither President Somerby nor Cashier Haye3 could be found today, and it is believed the former has left for Indianapolis in the interest of tbe Iron Hall, of which he is supreme justice. In relation to the bank Assignee Stockwell said: "The lawyers for both sides in the Iron Hall receivership suit, with tbe concent and approval of Judge Taylor, came here to takeaway the cash and securities of tbe bank and remove them to Indianapolis. Krumb-haar, state superintendent of banking, has been working with the plaintiffs with the undoubted intention of wrecking this institution and tbe Iron HalL It was for the purpose of protecting tbe creditors and keeping the assets within this jurisdiction that the assignment was made.

The bank is perfectly solvent." NORFOLK BUILDING PROGRESS. Norfolk, Aug. 16. Special. Threostories of the new hotel areup and there remains of brick work the completion of the fire walls and the fourth story section.

H. Uphani, Spooner's strongest opponent, withdrew this afternoon and the minor aspirants for the nomination were quickly disposed of, leaving the senator a clear field. No Sultan Left. There was a scene a dramatic as anything in the story books during the stormy interview Sir Charles Euan-Smith had with the sultan of Morocco on the occasion of the recent troubles at Fez. The report cf the passage-at-arms as it appears in the London papers relates that after tbe treaty had been torn up Sir Charles said: "Perhaps I am to be killed.

Perhaps Mr. McLeod, the British vice consul, may be killed. Perhaps, as you say the whole mission may be massacred, if you permit.it; but one thing I can assure you of is, that if this happens there will be another British minister in Fez withiu a month. He will be accompanied by a vice consul and a staff as well equipped as mine and better; but," the minister added in deliberate tones, "then there will not be a sultan at Fez." This is very thrilling from John Bull's point of view. It is a new version of the old stage "episode of the modest but resolute hero defying the villain.

A glimpse of the other side of the story may be bad in the plaint of the sultan; recently published, that "Morocco is like a beautiful girl. She has many ardent suitors and she finds safety only in their number." De Witt's Little Early Elsers; test pii Many Stores and Residences Burned at Delmar, Del. Wilmington, Aug. 16. News was received here tonight from Delmar, ninety-seven miles south of here, to the effect that fire this afternoon almost wiped out the town and entailed a loss of about $75,000.

Aid arrived from -Salisbury, but the firemen could do little else but watch the town go to ashes, as the water supply was limited and two fesble streams that were played upon the burning mass of frame buildings were converted into steam as fast as the water fell on the fire. The burned area comprises about three acres and includes all the loading stores, two churches, the railroad station and repair shops of the Delaware railroad company, the postofBce, Delmar hotel and from thirty to forty dwellings. Three hundred people are homeless and have lost all their earthly belongings. The tire raged for three hours and finally burned itself out. So far one person is known to have perished in the conflagration.

The body is so badly charred that it has not yet been identified. Some of who lost property are as follows; Lewis HastiDgs, general store; W. P. Elliott, grocery store; W. H.

Hammond, millinery; Delmar union store; Uastings Perkins, millinery tore: E. J. Milbor, confectionery; W. L. Simons, general store; B.

Freeny, grocery; V. S. Mortels, blacksmitn shop and livery; Stevens jewelry; Joseph JlcEivoy, shoe store; Elliott Ellison, general store; Dr. Robert N. Ellegood, drugs; H.

C. Carr; boiler shop; James Mills, shoe store; Martin Hearn, boiler shop. WILL TELL SOMETHING. An Officer of the Iron Hall Anxious to Get on the Witness Stand. Indianapolis, Aug.

16. Supreme Accountant Walker, of the Iron Hall, was assed tonight what effect the appointment of a receiver will have on the Iron Hall order. "It means good-bye to the Iron Hall," said he. "A receiver will be appointed. I think the evidence of Mr.

Somerby and the preliminary statement before the court made by Judge Howe were sufficient grounds for the appointment of a receiver." "Do you know the amount of the liabilities of the Mutual bank of "No; I do not," said Mr. Walker, with an injured air. "I know, however, that there has been placed in the bank of Iron Hall funds, while the bank only hits the order credited with about $430,000. Now that the bank has been placed in the hands of a receiver, I suppose the stockholders will have to make the deficiency good, and that whatever per cent is required to make good the amount due the Iron Hall by the bank will be levied on the stock. If I get a chance to go on the witness Btand I will have a few things to say.

I will give some idea about how this order baa been run. With the royal Arcanum older or the Knights of Honor any member can look at the books, and information about the condition of the order is sent to the members, but it is different here. Mr. Somerby looks after such things." PUT HIS FOOT IN IT. Colonel Skinner or North.

Carolina Offends People's Party Men. Raleigh, N. Aug. 16. The third party convention met here today.

Marion Butler was made permanent chairman. The resolutions indorse the Omaha platform and the platform has several additional planks regarding state issues. The name of Colonel Harry Skinner was placed before the convention as the nominee for governor. The nomination was made by acclamation. In his speech of acceptance Colonel Skinner said that if he saw the third party would cause such division of the white people of the state as to let the republicans into power he would have warned them and bid them turn from the danger.

This was greeted with murmurs of discontent and Skinner was called for again to satisfy the convention as to his position. F. W. Stroud, the third party nominee for congress, declared Skinner was unconditionally in the bands of the convention. As Skinner did not ratify what Stroud said, he was called for again, but withdrew his name and the convention adjourned till 8 p.

SENATOR PERKINS QUITE CONFIDENT OF VICTORY. The Campaign In the Sunflower State Begins September 1 The Souvenir Half Dollar. Goes for Conference. Washington, D. Aug.

16. Senator B. W. Perkins of Kansas goes to New York to consult the national republican committee relative to the conduct of the campaign in Kansas. To The Jocrnal correspondent Senator Perkins said: "The campaign opens in every district in the state on September 1 and I personally shall take part in the opening at Emporia, We propose to make the liveliest canvass ever seen in the state and the opposition will not find us suffering from over-confidence anywhere.

With an aotive campaign the republicans can readily redeem tne state, and that is exactly what we are going to do this year." Fisrurlnjr orrDesigns. Designs for the obverse and reverse of the souvenir silver half dollars for the Columbian exposition were sent to the local board of control by the director of the mint today. This was done simply to have them make suggestions if the proposed designs are not satisfactory, and from the rough drawing on the card sent by mail to Chicago it is quite likely that an emphatic protest against the profile of Columbus will be received. According to the drawing submitted in the esse the great admiral is made to look like some namby-pamby, smoothfaced, long haired professor instead of a ruler of the sea; there being none of the sternness apparent in the iines of his face as presented on the coin that was such a characteristic of Columbus. While the management of the exposition has no right to say what shall or shall not be the design of the proposed coins yet it was deemed courteous to have them inspect those made at the mint before final action should be taken.Secre-tary Foster of the treasury department and Director Leach of the mint constitu-tute the board of final control, and their decision cannot be appealed from.

So far as the design of the administration building on the reverse of the coin is concerned it is a work of art and an excellent reproduction on a small scale of this building. As Uncle Jerry Sees It. From advance sheets of the crop report for July, the following concerning the crop of Nebraska is taken: The condition of corn has greatly improved, the last twenty days of July having been most favorable to corn growth. The rainfall has been most propitious and the outlook at this date is of the most encouraging character. Harvesting conditions were unusually favorable for spring wheat, rye, oats and barley, and these grains went into shock and stack in better condition than usual.

The exceeding hot weather essential to corn growth during tbe last twenty days of July has materially impaired the condition of grass crops, native and tame. The apple prospect has decreased since the last report. Drv, hot weather following preceding ills caused premature falling to a very considerable extent. The apple crop of 1892 is regarded next to a failure. WASHINGTON NOTES.

A Large Natty styles of THE SUSPENDED OVER A CHASM. Serious Cliarees Made by a Hotel Clerk Against a Klval. Chicago, Aug. 16. A Tribune special from Atlanta, says: A thrilling story comes from Tululah Falls, where some of the chasms are 1,000 feet deep.

There are two summer hotels at the place, which are at present One is kept by Colonel Young with Ben Wylie as clerk. The other is kept by T. A. Robinson, who be-besides being mayor of the town, is the democratic candidate for tbe state Ben-ate. There has been great rivalry between theBe bonifaces and trouble has been feared.

Today Ben Wylie tells of an incident which happened to him last Thursday night He says that while walking down tbe street about midnight three negroes and a white man seized him by the arm, the latter saying: "You're the bully we want," and ordered the negroes to drag him to the precipice over Hawthorne pool, which is 400 feet deep. "Why in the world do you want to kill me?" asked Wylie, and turning around discovered that Mayor Robinson was his assailant. Robinson drew back and said: "Don'tyou open your mouth," at the same time hitting him in the face with a stone, cutting his lip painfully. "Take him on!" shouted Robinson to bis followers. Wylie, fearing they were croing to lynch him, begged piteously.

The negroes stood out tbe edge of the rock holding Wylie out over tbe chasm, wniting for the word to let him drop into the current below. "Finally," says Wylie, "Robinson told me with an oath that if I would promise to quit the fuss about the hotels and swear never to mention that night's occurrence be would let me return to the hotel, threatening and warning me to keep my mouth shut. Of course I had to promise him and did it." Wylie this afternoon swore out warrants for tbe arrest of Robinson and the three negroes, charging them with assault with intent to murder, and their trial will come off September 5. Owing to the prominence of Robinson and the fact that he is a man who is not afraid to shoot, the people are reticent about talking. Robinson refuses to say anything about the occurrence.
