On Tuesday a strong northeast gale sprang up, and, al though it was a favorable wind for us, that night the captain ordered us to heave to. "The wind began to blow a gale, but we lost nothing aloft but a few rotten old sails that anyone could have pulled apart.

The canvas that was kept on the ship was Insufficient to keep ber bead up. I know that there were more sails on board, but the Captain gave no orders to oeno them, ana tne snip piungea heavily In tbe sea. The cargo shifted to starboard, but not enough to have interfered with the sailing of the schooner.

The captain came on deck a few minutes before we lft and got Into the boat. Before leaving the ship he put a lot of oakum unaer tne Kerosene rang ana set it on nre.

Twenty five minutes after leaving she sunk.

Washington Pawn Shops Can Exist No Longer. SPECIAL TE LEG RAX TO THE TIMES. Times Bureau, Corcoran Building. Washington. October 31.

The accommodating "uncle" who keeps the poor clerk by advancing him money on his jewelry or clothing ceases to exist in Wash ington after twelve o'clock to night. The new law passed by Congress during its last days goes into effect on November 1, and from that date all pawnbrokers arc to be classed as "second hand" dealers. Under tbe new law pawnbrokers are not allowed to advance money on any article. They will be obliged to buy It outright, and those who go to them for assistance will be compelled to part with their goods for all time. The new law was passed by Congress at the instance of some well meaning persons, who wished to aid the police In preventing stolen goods being pawned.

In this they made a mistake. Under the old regulation pawnbrokers were forced to retain pledged goods for Tour months and the police had ample time to trace them. Now they only bave to keep them twenty four hours and they may aell or dispose of them as they like. Neither tbe police nor the pawnbrokers take kindly to me new law. TWO FOR JIM FOGARTY.

HAYE BEEN FOB TEN TEARS. LOOKING FOR SPECULATORS 1 large Somber of Americans in london Trying to Form Syndicates to Gain Control of Yankee Enterprise. SPECIAL CABLE TELEGRAM TO THE TIMES. tCopyrlght 1880. by X.

T. Herald. Low do if. October SL From lime to time In the last few weeks I bave cabled the excited condition of the Scotch Iron market. The movement of prices is still upward and the excitement in the mar ket greater just now than It bas been for ten years.

The rise has not come suddenly, as some English papers have It. unless a period of weeks is considered sudden. Six months ago Scotch warrants were forty shillings and sixpence. They have advanced to sixty shillings. Hematite Iron has jumped to seventy two shillings threepence during tne present excitement.

Export trade in Scotch pig iron has been entirely neglected. home consumption and speculation occupying attention. Some merchants have made enormous profits, one Glasgow firm being credited with a profit of a quarter to a half million in a few months. Glasgow steel makers refuse orders generally and any new work la booked at a rise of tirteen shillings per ton. ClyJe shipbuilders are clamoring for material.

Gas and boiler tube makers have advanced prices, as they are paying BlOs. for strips which not long ago were quoted at so 4s. A FEVERISH WEEK. It fa as been a feverish week at Newcastle on the Tyne. Shipbuilders, In order to protect themselves, are buying large quantities of manufactured Iron and steel.

A few months ago common bars sold for they are now bringing nearly XS. Iron ship plates are nearly 3 per ton, the highest price since the inflated period of 1871 to 1873. This time last year Iron ship plates sold at leas tnan 5 per ton. Some holders now ask 9 for steel ship plates. Ship bullders on the Tyne are very busy and must bave material.

The great works of Sir William Armstrong, at Elswlck, were never busier. The company makes its own iron and nas a large stock. Wolverhampton is also greatly excited over the condition of tbe market, which seems still on the rise. SELLING AMERICAN PROPERTY. Not long ago, Cfaanncey M.

Depew said to me, "London is tbe centre of the world.1 Senator Washburn, of Minnesota, said to me last night: "London is the heart of the world." Both of these men are Americana from head to heels, and both were in earnest. Their opinions coincide with those of a small army of other Americans and who are bere each one of this army has something to aell. I met one American to day who wishes to dispose of property in the United States valued at 160,000, 000. It Is of various kinds and situated In different parts of the Union. The chances are that be will place It, CHICAGO GRAIN ELEVATOR PROSPECTUS.

MACCAY'S LIBEL SUIT. The action for libel brought by Mrs. John John W. Mftckay against the Manchester aminfrcarae up for a bearing In the Court of Queen's Bench to day.

The libel complained of alleged that the plaintiff was a poor widow with two children, and that she was employed as a washerwoman by Nevada miners when Mr. Mack ay was first attracted towards her and fell in love with ber and married her. The plain tiff contends that tbe words of the article suggested that she was not a lady of birth or education and that she was not accustomed to associating with persons of good position. The defendants admit the first innuendo, but deny the second. Tbe defendants had paid 10 into Court.

Tbe question before tbe Court to day was whether the payment applied to the whole libel or the Innuendo admitted. The Court ruled that it applied only to the part of tbe libel admitted. DAVITT CONCLUDES HIS DEFENSE He Declares That the "Times' Has Not Proved Its Assertions. London, October 81. Michael Davitt con tinued his speech before the Parnetl Commis sion to day.

He said that Farragher, who had been a clerk of tbe Land League, but who had turned an Informer and testified for the Times, had been unable to prove the assertion made by Attorney General Webster that the League had advanced money for the commit tal of outrages and crimes. Mr. Davitt regretted that all the Land League books had not been found. They had disappeared, be said, during the confusion consequent upon the suppression of the League, but the JN at local Leaguebooks which had been produced revealed nothing unconstitutional. He denounced the publication of the alleged lac simile letters by the Times as an attempt at the moral assassination of the political character of a public man wbich was unparalleled by tbe action of any political party in tne nistory or any country.

Mr. Davitt concluded his soeecb bv anneal ing to the" court to say that the Times bad not proved Its charges against the men who were striving to end the Anglo Irish question. When Mr. Davitt had finished Presiding Justice Hannen complimented btm upon the ability displayed in bis speech, and thanked bim for the assistance be bad given the court. Sir Henry James then began his sneech in behalf of the Times.

The not Ionir Blnoe busy borough of Con booken, with Its foundries, rolling mills, blast furnaces, silk factories and woolen mills: Its tributsrjr ore banks and limestone quarries; itscanaland three linesof railroad, has been hit some pretty bard blows wilnin a twelve mofith. Tbe Plymouth foundry closed and was sold out.

the Bullock woolen mills stopped with the death of their owner, the recent death of J. B. Moorbead suspended the working of his bir blast furnaces across thegchuylklll. and yesterday the Tradesman's national Bank closed Its doors because or a defaulting cashier, who has In the twinkling of an eye, as It were, disappeared from sight and knowledge. Just before the usual hour of opening yesterday the following placard, signed by four directors, was posted on the door of tbe bank: TO 1THOM IT MAT OONCRRTf: Tills bank Is closed In conseqnonce of the defalcation of the cashier.

The depositors will snfffrr no loss. IICITIMENT rN THE TOWN. The posting of this notice on the closed doors or tbe bank at once crested great excitement. A crowd Immediately began to gather on the wide sidewalk of the bank, increasing as the news flew like wildfire through the town, until the entire police force, four In Dumber, were called out, and their presence aud the counsel of some wise heads restrained what about 11 o'clock threatened to bit an outbreak of violence. The depositors of the bank number some Ave hundred, the majority of whose accounts are small.and those were necessarily the most concerned.

But It was toward noon made known to the anxious and frightened peoplethat the assets would more than pay the depositors and that the only sofferers would be the stockholders. THE DISCOVERT OF THE THEFT. The defaulting cashier la William Henry Cresson. Ho was also vice president of the bank. Beside himself there were employed a teller, a book keeper and a messenger.

The bank building is a one story brick structure of no architectural beauty, and of limited sise, on the main street, a block above the depot. The bank was started in 1882 with $100,000 paid up capital and has since paid regular dividends, averaging five per cent, per annum. There appears to have been no suspicion of tbe cashier's stealings until this discovery, the credit of which belongs en tirely to Robert E. James, of Eastern, a United States National Bank Examiner.wbo on Wednesday of last week began an Investigation that has resulted in finding that Cashier CresNon has made away with ovor 160,000 of the assets of tbe bankand that the institution Is insolvent by nearly that amount. Mr, James said yesterday that he found on Wednesday morning last, shortly after be began hlB instead of there being $8,000 in tbe safe, as the cash settlement of the evening before exhibited, there was only $4,000, and he detected, shortly after, a substitution of tbe missing amount by Ores son, for which a messenger had been sent to the Montgomery National Bank, at Norrls towni Upon an Investigation of the books, lasting until Monday, Examiner James found false entries, false additions and false balances and an apparent deficit of about $90,000.

TAXED WITH HIB RASCALITY. Cresson meanwhile remained In the bank, the business of which continued without Interruption. No action was taken by the examiner until Monday, when, after receiving a statement of the bank's exchanges from the National Bank of the Republic, its Philadelphia correspondent, which first gave him the meant of arriving at a fair estimate of the amount of tbe embezzlement, he consulted with United States District Attorney Bead, acting upon whose advice be, on Wednesday, called the directors together and Informed them of the Insolvency of the bank and the embezzlement by the cashier. The latter was called before the board and was taxed with his rascality. He, however, made no admissions and shortly before 3 P.

M. left the bank and has not been seen since. Immediately after Examiner James Bwore out a warrant for his arrest before 'Squire Haywwd, of Oonshohooken. The warrant Is now In the hands of the United States Deputy Marshal bere, but there Beems to be little doubt that Cresson has by this time joined the Canadian colony of crooked cash era. Examiner James yesterday estimated the defalcation at $60,000, with a possible not very material Increase.

Tbe investigation ordered by the Board of Directors which began on Wednesday morning and was not concluded until near daylight yesterday resulted in approximating nearly the examiner's figures, FOROEHIES BU8PEOTKD, Among the assets of the bank two promissory notes have been found, one for $3,250 and one tor 13,360, which are suspected to be forgeries, and it is said that there are other obligations of the same nature which if determined to be forgeries will be laid to the cashier's record of crime. Cashier William Henry Cresson Is about 48 years of age and a native of Consbobocken. He was a clerk In the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company, of this dry, until bis mar riaire irlfch a dsiiirhtnr nf Idhn WnnA naai dentor the J. Wood Brother Iron Works, by whom he has two children. It has been tbe common belief in Conshohocken that the Tradesmen's Bank was started by the Woods to give Cresson a position, His salary as vice president and cashier was $1,800 a year.

He seems, however, to bave had tbe use of the bank funds for a considerable time, as be has been largely engaged in building and was an investor to a considerable amount in tbe stock of the Conshohocken Gas and Eleetrio Companies, of both of which be was president. His habits are said to hav been excellent, and, although it was known that he was living beyond his salary, bis Investments in stocks and real estate were believed to furnish him with abundant means. He Is a vestryman of the Calvary Protestant Episcopal Church, and recently contributed 1600 to its building fund. It Is not believed even by Examiner James that the missing man has taken any of the bank's money with him In his flight. His peculations bave not extended over nine months and the detection came upon him too suddenly and be was too well watched by the examiner for him to abstract any of the cash to help him in bis flight.

Unless, therefore, he has had some other way of raising money or has been assisted by friends there Is good reason to believe that he has left Conshohocken almost penniless. STOCK HELD BY" THE DIRECTORS. The stock of the bank Is almost entirely held by tho directors, tbe principal owners being the Woods and J. A. Wood Lukens.

The directors are John Wood, J. A. Wood Lukens. John Wood, and George W. Wood, Conshohocken; John A.

Kigbter, of SprlhgMIII; B. Brook Adams, of Upper Morion George Coreon, of Plymouth, and Dr. Lewis Royer and William R. Pechln, of Norrlslown. The cashier's bond for $20,000, signed by his father in law, John Wood, la good.

The directors were in session yesterday discussing a plan of reorganization by the subscription of whloh will put the bank on a sound footing, but no decision was arrived at. That this amount was talked of seems to indicate that the cashier's defalcation Is larger than has yet been announced. Indeed Examiner James told Tbe Timrs representative that there was a possibility that tbe sum total of tbe embezzlement might be augmented upon further Investigation. President Wood, who isover 80 years of age, is confined to bis house by sickness and neither of the Wood brothers or Mr. Lukens, tbe other residont director, would talk for publication.

Mr. James was of the opinion that unless some such arrangement for resumption as was discussed by thedlrectors was determined upon thpre was no other course than for tho government to appoint a receiver. He was positive that the depositors would be paid in full. The morning's excitement and alarm seemed to be entirely quieted by 8 o'olock in the afternoon, thenolgbborhood being nearly deserted, JUDGMENTS ENTERED TJP. Director George Corson yesterday entered np two Judgments aggregating $4,450 against Cresson.

It is currently rumored that tbe cashier has oarrlcd life Insurance to the amountot over $50,000, the payment of the premiums upon which must have been a heavy tax upon him. In spite of tho bank officials knowing on Wednesday that the Institution was In trouble deposits were received up to 8 o'olock, two of $1,000 each being taken from one depositor. Mr. Stevens, the first vice president of the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company, says that Cresson was Inrgely Interested in real estate and in a patent gas manufacture and electric light ASKED TO "SLUG" THE DOCTOR The farlson Cottage Furniture Identified, Slid a "Crook'' Tells of a Proposition lade to Ilim bj Conghlin. Chicago.

October 31. George Reilly. a barkeeper, testified In the Cronin trial to day tbat In the latter part of March Coughlln. OSulllvan and others were in the ua loon and were talking politics when Coughlln said that a certain North Side Catholic was talking too much, and that If he did not keep his mouth shut Jie would get tbe worst of it. Then the State's Attorney sought to introduce the correspondence between Beggs and Spellman.

Mr. Foster, attorney for Beggs, said be was ready to admit anything that Beggs ever wrote, butthat he could say nothing about letters written by anyone else. So the matter went over pending tbe appearance of Spellman. W. P.

Hatfield, salesman for Revelle Co was then called, and told of selling to a man calling himself J. B. Slmonds the bill of furniture wbich was taken to tbe fiat at No. 117 Clark street, and was subsequently conveyed to tbe Carlson cottage, the scene of the murder. Tbe only new point developed was the fact that Slmonds said the furniture was for temporary use." THE BLOOD STAINED TRUNK.

After Hatfield had Identified the furniture sold to Slmonds as tbat subsequently seen by bim in the Carlson cottage, tbe trunk tn which Dr. Cronin's body was carried away was brought Into court. Hat field, after examining testified that It was identical with the one sold to Siraonds. On cross examination he said that he could not swearthatlt was the Identical trunk, because the firm kept such on band always, and perhaps other dealers did also. It came out tbat Mr.

Forrest, of counsel fnr the defense, bad bought Just such a trunk from the witness. It could not be sworn to positively tbat the furniture la tbe Carlson cottage was tbe same furniture sold to Slmonds; It was precisely like It, bow ever. ASKED TO "SLUG" CRONIN. John W. Sampson, generally known as Major" Sampson, was next called and testified that about two years ago Coughlln tried to hire him to "slug" Dr.

Cronin. The witness, In bis examination, stated that Coughlia had arrested hira three or four times, once for robbery; that be had been convicted for passing counterfeit money, that he was a (rambler by profession, but denied that be followed Mr. Blaine through Michigan when he was making speeches there last fall, or Governor Hill or Souator Thurman, for the purpose of picking pockets. He said he went to some of these places for the purpose of securing sporting prlvllefres. He naively explained that he was playing de sheila" which is a variation of what Is known as three card monte.

William Lynn, who was with Sampson when be met Coughlln and was asked to "slug" Cronin, testified to the fact that the two men had a conversation, the purport of which be did not hear. CRONIN'S TAILOR'S STORY. Joseph C. O'Keefe. Dr.

Cronin's tailor, said that he attended a meeting of Camp 20, In September, 1663. After the meeting he bad a conversation with defendaut Beggs about Dr. Cronin and Alexander Sullivan. Said the witness: "We were speaking first In regard to tbe union of the two rival sections of the order, and John P. Bevtrs said be did not bave much confidence In tbe new executive that was elected.

Then tbe trial committee came under discussion, and be said tbat Dr. Cronin was not tbe proper man to put on the trial committee to try Alexander Sullivan. I said Dr. Cronin did not have as unsavory a record as James Kodgors, of Brooklyn, another one of the trial committee. "John P.

Beggs then told me that Cronin had admitted Coughlln as a member of Camp 96 without a formal initiation and bad furnished him with passwords. I told bim 1 did not believe It; I told him that Cronin was too sincere a patriot to do anything of that kind. I told htm, furthermore, that I would ask Cronin in reference to It and give tho authority, and tben he said Cronin was not a fit man to belong to Irish societies." On cross examination It was brought out tbat Beggs objected to Cronin being on the committee to try the triangle because ho was an enemy of Alexander Sullivan's. Cornelius Flynn, who was with Beggs and O'Keefe when ihey had the above mentioned conversation, corroborated O'Keefe's testimony. An Ashland "Wedding.
