Pardon From the President.
Brooklyn, July 13.——E. B. Carter, the
bank embezzler, who was sentenced to
six years and six months’ imprisonment
in the Kings county penitentiary for
stealing $30,000 of the funds of the Na-
tional Bank of Commerce in this city,
left the prison today a free man. His
release was secured by his 18-year-old
daughter, Miss Mabel Carter, who made
a personal appeal to President McKi--—
ley.
‘ Carter pleaded guilty to the embez-
zling indictment and was sentenced by
United States Judge Benedict on Jan.
9, 1895. Many infiuent' 1 persons in
Brooklyn have been earfit in their ef-
forts to secure Carter's lease, but it
was said it was due entirely to his
daughter that he was pardoned by the
president.
Carter wore a suit of clothes brought
to him by his daughter and not the
regular prison garments. A black cut-
away coat and waistcoat, gray trousers,
tan shoes and a brown derby hat com-
prised his outer apparel. He carried a
Gladstone bag and walked rapidly to-
ward his home a‘t 493 Nostrand avenue.
He passed a gang of prisoners in charge
of keepers at work on the road near
the prison and stopped and shook hands
with each of the keepers. They can-
gratulated him on his release.
POREIGNERS IN DANGER.
A Critical Condition Reported at Tien-
tsin—Precautions Taken.
San Francisco, July 13.—The Occi-
dental and Oriental steamer Derlc has
arrived from China and Japan two days
ahead of schedule time. She brought
Yokohama advices to June 29. The Jap-
anese Mail gives a summary of the cor-
respondence from Tien-tsin, which says
that the state of the foreign colony in
that city is alarming. Three Chinese
were killed in the last days of May on
the charge that they had stolen native
children in order that they might serve
as offerings to insure the safety of the
foundations of the new French Catholic
cathedral, to be dedicated June 1.
A Tien—tsin correspondent says: "It
is reported that a. conspiracy has been
formed to attack the foreign settlement
and burn the Roman Catholic cathedral.
The consuls of the various nationalities
have deemed it prudent to telegraph the
facts to their governments and to ask
for the protection of men-of—war. The
gate leading from the foreign settle-
ment to the Chinese quarter is closed
every night at 11 o’clock. The Japanese
gunboat Akagi is now at Taku in re-
sponse to appeals from the Japanese
consul. Chinese soldiers are quartered
in various parts of the city for the ex-
press purpose of checking rioters.
The Pope and Church Music.
Paris, July 12.——The Vatican has call-

structions on the subject, with the in-
tention of inaugurating certain re-
forms, including the abolition of female
voices at liturgical services. While ap—
proving of instrumental music, his
holiness thinks it should be limited to
the use of the harp and the gentler
wind instruments, the violin being dis-
carded as sensual and profane. The
music of Haydn and Mozart does not
meet with the pope’s approval.
Emperor William Not Badly Hurt.
Berlin, July 13.—An official dispatch

Two Thousand Prostrat ions by Heat.
Chicago, July 12.——-The fierce heat un-
der which the greater portion of the
country has sweltered since the first
of July, has moderated in many locali-
ties, and predictions from the weather
bureau at Washington indicate that
still lower temperatures will bring gen-
eral relief within 24 hours.
The record of prostrations and deaths
resulting from the long heated term ap—
proaches in magnitude that of a. gen-
eral epidemic. Reports from all sec—
tions of the country show prostrations
numbering in the neighborhood of 2,000,
with fatalities close to 350. In addition
to this there were scores of deaths re-
sulting indirectly from the intolerable
heat, the death rate in many of the
large cities showing a fearful increase
over previous years.
The central states suffered more se-
verely than other sections, the heat be;
ing most deadly in Chicago, Cincinnati

BANKER MORGAN BEATEN.
Baltimore and Ohio Receivers W'in Their
Case Despite His Opposition.
Baltimore, July 12,—The receivers of
the Baltimore and Ohio won their case
before Judge Goff of the United States
circuit court. They applied for per-
mission to buy 40,000 tons of 85 pound
steel rails at $17 a ton and to issue cer-
tificates for $680,000 to pay for them. J.
P. Morgan & Co. opposed the issuance
of more certificates and presented the
report of S. M. Felton, president of the
Queen and Crescent route, who said
that only 23,000 tons were needed.
In his decision Judge Goff said the
opposition was strange to him, as the
same parties had agreed to other im-
provements. He said that taking all
the facts and circumstances of the
case together and the line of policy in-
augurated in the beginning with the
consent of all parties to thecontroversy,
that it would be an,act on the part of
the court that would show great dere-
liction of duty to all those who are in-
terested in this great property if it
would take any action that would tend
to cripple or destroy the earning power
of the Baltimore and Ohio company,
and it was because of this that he be-
lieved it is essential to the earning
power, by virtue of which only it can
recover, that the receivers’ estition
should be granted.

BIG FIRM IN TROUBLE.
' Decker, Howell 3; Co. of New, York Forced
to Make an Assignment.
New York, July 14.—Joseph S. Decker
and William A. Williams, who compose
the firm of Decker, Howell & C0,, bro-
kers at 44 Broadway, today assigned to
Alanson Fisher, J r., without prefer—
ences.
The announcement was made soon
after the opening of the New York Stock
Exchange and almost created a. panic.
The firm is one of the largest doing
business in the street and has conduct-
ed a purely brokerage Hisiness. The
losses will fall on those who have had
speculative accounts with the firm.
Deckm, Howell & Co.’s was a peculiar-
ly a New York city firm. It had a large
clientele. According to Assignee Fisher
the firm had no creditors outside of New
York city. It leased no private wires
and had no agents or correspondents in
other cities. Mr. Fisher added that he
believed that the liabilities would prove
to be small.
'Mr. Fisher, when asked what was the
cause of the failure, said that the firm
had been on the wrong side of the mar-
ket. He would not say so in as many
words, but would not deny that the firm
had been heavily short of sugar, which
has been booming the past few days.
There was consternation in the sugar
pit when the failure was announced.
Openingat 134, after closing at 135%
last evening, it declined to 133% on sales
of 2,500 shares. So great was the ex-
citement that sales were made at the
same time {A to 9!; per cent away. Then
it took on a full head of steam and sail—
ed up to 13714 in a few moments.
The firm of Decker, Howell & Co. had
an enviable record. Both the partners,
Mr. Decker and Mr. Williams, were re-
puted to be multimiilionaires. Mr. How-
ell died some time ago. Mr. Decker was
the Stock Exchange member of the firm.
The firm was founded in 1870 under
the name and style of Leonard, Shel-
don & Foster. With unlimited capital
and opportunities for speculation of the
successful sort that had not been dream-
ed of before by the outside public, the
firm soon had a large following. In 1881
the firm became known as Decker, How-
ell & Co.
The firm did a large and profitable
business until 1890, when they were
compelled to make an assignment.
Then Wall street was startled by the
announcement that the liabilities of the
firm would aggregate $12,000,000. This
vast sum was paid in 60 days, as the
firm had promised at the time of the
suspension, and business was resumed.
The “street” after this had the greatest
confidence in the recuperative powers
of the concern, and there were few ac-
counts withdrawn on account of the
failure at that time.
A BIG GAVE FOUND.
What a Miner’s Pick Revealed In a Moun-
tain Near Cripple Creek.
Cripple Creek, Colo., July 14.—A pho-
tographer named Yelton has returned
from a trip to Cow mountain, about six
miles east of this city, where he went
to obtain views of a remarkable cavern,
discovered by persons who were sinking
a prospective shaft on a group of claims
on the mountain. A man’s pick sudden-
ly went through the rock into what
proved to be a great cavern. Rocks
dropped into the hole struck the bottom
in about two seconds. The men got a
rope and, fastening it securely above,
descended to explore the cavern, which
proved to be a storehouse of ice. Sta-
lagmiites and stalactites of ice stood like
cypress trees from the floor or hung in
great fringes from the ceiling. Explora-
tion was not carried far, as the yawn—
ing abyss was encountered at a distance
of about 50 feet from the entrance.
Pieces of ice thrown down could be
heard rattling on the sides, but there
was no sound of bottom being touched.
Photographs were taken by flashlight.
An effort will be made to open the cave
to a more thorough exploration.
At the Schicks Mines.
Bellaire, 0., July 14.-——The miners at

LOOKING FOR MISS STEVENSON.
A Girl “’ho Was In Nashua, N. 11., May
Be the Missing Young Woman.
Nashua, N. H., July 13.—The young
woman in this city who was supposed
to be the missing Grace Stevenson of
Brookline, Mass, and who passed un-
der the name of Irene Chandler, was
not seen in Nashua yesterday, and she
was not today at the place where she
had engaged board. It is believed that
she has left town. This strengthens the
belief that she was really the Stevenson
girl and that she had got a hint that
her identity was suspected.
Fred K. Cummings, who identified the
girl and communicated with her family,
thinks it very strange that the friends
of the Stevenson girl did not send some
one here to identify her.
He says that they have delayed in the
matter and that if the girl has disap-
peared, and there is no trace of her, it
is the fault of the relatives, who could
have sent some one here as they prom—
ised.
