One Cent. Absolutely Independent. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 1891. WESTERN NEW YORK'S FRUIT CROPo Reports Show a Most Discouraging Out- look for This Season. ROCHESTER, N. Y., June 10. —- Reports from forty—eight fruit growing districts of western New York give a most d13- .couraging outlook for fruit this season. The apple crop is again, for the third suc- cessive year, almost a complete failure. 01 6,000 trees in one Wayne county 01'0th only 800 blossomed. Reports from Lock- port, Medina, Albion, Batavia, Attica and Mount Morris all tell the same story 0‘ short crop. In the Tonawanda valley frosts have destroyed the entire crop. Niagara county will not have a fifth of an average crop because of frost and ap- parent exhaustion of trees. The crop 9f Bartlett pears will be insignificant. Afar: yield of Duchess Angouleme pears and a good crop of white cherries in some, locali- ties may be looked for. The only fruit 01 which a large yield is assured is the quince, which has blossomed fully and late. Raspberries are all looking well, and a full crop is certain. But altogether the crop prospect is bad, and fruit farming in western New York appears to be a pret- ty profitless business. CUBA WOULD BE FREE. Deliverance from Spain’s Yoke, Not An- nexation. Is What’s Wanted. CHICAGO, June 10.—C_harles J. Crawford, of New York, who has extensive Interests in Cuba, has just returned from a mat to his southern properties. Talking of an- nexation he said: _ “The Cubans do not wish annexation. They are disposed to antagompe Blaiue’s plans. While they admire the secretary of state, they believe that he has missed opportunities to assist the Cubans. But in accepting those chances he would have been obliged to injure Spain as much as he would have helped Cuba The Cubans want Mr. Blaine to assist in secur- ing the independence of their country. Personally the natives are very fond of- the people of the United States, and they prefer the American market for the equal advantages which both countries weak] reap through a reciprocity treaty. If the secretary of state would help Cuba to throw off the yoke of Spain he would be a greater man than Columbus.” - THREE lVIEN BURNED TO A CRISP. Disastrous Wreck on the Mississippi. Kansas and Texas Railroad. PARSONS, Kan, June 10.—The most dis- astrous wreck that ever occurred on the Missouri, Kansas and Texasdook place yesterday between Savannah and Frink. Three men were burned to a crisp and six injured, some of them, it is thought, fa- tally. The two engines were totally de- molished and the wreck took fire and thir- ty cars were burned. . The two freight trains were ordered to pass at Frink. One of them arrived at the station ahead of the other, and the engi- neer, seeing a train on the side track, sup- posed it was the train he had orders to pass, and did not stop for orders. One of the men burn ed to death was ahead brake- man, and the other two are unknown. The brakeman could only be identified by the switch key found on his body. Tried to Kill the Clergyman. NEW YORK, June 10.—George Mouser, who attempted to shoot the Rev. Dr. Clark Wright because the latter refused to sup- ply him with money, was held in $2,001 bail. Doubts are expressed as to the sanity of the prisoner, and an examination as to his mental condition will be made. Sev-' eral other clergymen testified to the ac cused having threatened them when they refused to give him money. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. NEW YORK, June 9.—Money on call loaned at easy rates today, viz., 3@3}é per cent.

Governments steady; cur- rency Gs, 109 bid; 45, coupon, 119%; bid; 435s do., 100 bid. For no apparent reason London and Amer- ican traders were bearish this morning, and sold the market considerably. Railroad stocks were weak therefore, and generally lower. Rock Island was noticeably weak. A general impression that this stock must go down has caused quite an extensive short selling. Trad. ing was even duller than it has been of late. Up to noon only 71,300 shares had changed hands. The speculative industrials were the strong features of the market. Chicago gas re- flected the news from Chicago that at last night‘s meeting the city council authorized the mayor and comptroller to settle with the com- pany on whatever basis they thought best. This was interpreted on the ”street" to mean that all litigation would end. Sugar common was strong on a rumor that the dividend will be 3%, per cent. The principal trading in the railroad list was in Atchison, St. Paul and Union Pacific. The advances in Chicago gas and Sugar trust wereland 194 per cent. re- spectively. At noon the general list was weak and 14 to 1 per cent. lower. Five hundred thou- sand dollars gold was engaged for export this morning. At the close the market was stagnant. Closing prices: West.

K wuuouuum HIS EDS- Philadelphia’s Ex-City Treasurer at ' the Bar of Justice. HE CONFESSES HIS GUILT. I With Wet Eyes, Bowed Head and in Al- most LInaudible Tones “Honest” John Bardsley Pleads Guilty to Every Charge. PHILADELPHIA, June 10,—Ex-City Treas- urer John Bardsley was brought up from Moyamensing prison in the common van Tuesday morning and placed in the dock to plead to the seventeen indictments found against him the day before. It was whispered about the court house that Bardsley would plead, and it drew a large crowd who were curious to see how the fallen financier would face the stern ' real- ity of being placed in the common crimi- nal dock. Long before the opening of court the new court house was crowded, many of the prominent members of the bar being pres- ent. After a lengthy conference between the lawyers the prisoner was formally arraigned to plead. “John Bardsley,” said Crier Hart, “you are charged with loaning public money a: a public officer. How say you—guilty or not guilty. ‘ “Guilty,” said Bardsley inaudibly. “You are charged with making and agreeing for interest on public money as a‘ public oflicer. not guilty?” _ “Guilty,” again, in a low tone of voice. “You are charged, as a public oflicer, with investing public money. HOW say you—guilty or not guilty?” “Guilty,” with tears. District Attorney Graham then said that at this time the court could not take evi- How say you—guilty or dence, and Mr. Alexander, in behalf of the prisoner, desired time to present testimony for his client. In view of the pleas of guilty Mr. Graham said he was willing that the matter should be postponed, and a day fixed for a hearing agreeable to counsel for the defense. Mr. Alexander said that in two weeks they would be ready, and this was agreed upon. Mr. Graham then said that there had been an arrest for perjury, and that the commonwealth would, in vmw of the cir- cumstances, abandon the charge and not press that count further. HE EMULATED MARSH. Another Philadelphlan Takes to fill Heels to Avoid Arrest. PHILADELPHIA, June 10.—Frank Bren- ton, treasurer of the defunct Milward- Cliff Cracker company, which was wrecked by paper floated through the Spring Gar- den National bank, has fled to avoid ar- rest upon a charge of conspiracy made by T. Broome llclfield, one of the directors of the company. President Kennedy and Di- rector Young, of the bank, are named as the co-conspirators. . The prosecution is based upon the illegal negotiation of 53%,000 of promissory notes signed by Brenton as the treasurer. of the company and negotiated through the Spring Garden bank by Kennedy. Whether the treasurer received his share of the pro- ceeds or not is a matter of conjecture. “’anamalrer’s Explanation. PHILADELPHIA, June 10.—-Postmaster General \Vanamaker appeared yesterday at the investigation into the affairs of the wrecked Keystone bank and made - a point blank denial of the truth Of the many rumors that have been going the rounds of the press to the effect that he was implicated in some of the question- able transactions that led up to the finan- cial ruin of the institution. Mr. Wanamaker read his statement, which was a very lengthy one, and the tenor of which. was that he had never been an officer or a stockholder of the bank, but simply a depositor, and was in absolute ignorance of any of the irregularities until after the run on the bank commenced. A Singular Sleep. MILWAUKEE, Wis, June 10.-John Van- derhover, the car maker,who went to sleep in the foundry at the West Milwaukee shops on Thursday last, still sleeps.
