Banker Prettyman of Chicago Ascribes Per- sonal Reasons for His Closing. Cu1caco, Nov. 24.—A meeting of the credi. tors of the Prettyman Bank and of the stock- holders of the North Division Lumber Com- pany was held Inst evening. The depositors of the bank and the stockholders of the lumber company, which was a concern practically con- trolled and operated by Prettyman, talked over the situation, and after hearing from all who wished to speak, their legal adviver recom- mended that application be mude at once to Judge Prendergast to remove the assignee of the, bank and lumber company, Mr. Johnson, and appoint one assignee for the bank and an” other for the lumber company. The creditors declared that Mr. Johnson would not be able to separate interests in- trusted to him. The comment on the manage- ment of the affairs of the concerns in question was not very favorable. The general impres- sion weemed to be that Mr. Prettyman had used funds of the bank and deposits to curry the lumber concern. ‘The lumber stock was said to be practically valucleus. rettyman, in an interview, asserts that the assets will fully cover the linbilitics. The as- signmont, he said, was the result of & disagree: ment between himself and his partner, Bishop. He assigned, he asserted, 60 as to ‘put | the business of the firm in the hands of a third | party and to cut off Mr. Bishop from any fur- ther active participation in the business. pas one Sebi WON'T WORK WITH CONVICTS. Strike of Molders Employed by the Min- nesota:Thrashing Company. Srmiwaren, Mixy., Nov. 24.—All the mold- ers employed by the Minnesota Thrashing Com- pany, one of the largest manufacturing organi- zations in the state, have quit work because twelve convicts had been given positions in the foundry. The master workman of the order has been summoned from Detroit to confer with Superintendent Dixon. It is said that if, the superintendent insists on keeping the con yiets at work with citizens all the Rnights of Labor employed by the thrasher company will be called out. This will involve several hun- dred men. a A STATE SUMMONED. Iowa Must Answer a Complaint Before the Supreme Court. Des Morxes, Iowa, Nov. 24.—The state of | Towa, through the governor, has been sum- | moned by the United States Supreme Court to appear before that tribuna’ at Washington on | the third Monday of next January to defend | ani answer the bill of complaint by the state of | Nebraska pending there. This bill is in regard | to the boundary line between Nebraska and | Iowa. The question involved is whether or not | that part of the country lying near Omaha and cut off by the Missouri river shall be subject to Iowa's law. ‘The com- plainant declares that section was formerly a rt of Nebraska; that the river in 1877 so The bank on the southwestern part of the rive bed us to forma new channel; that Iowa im- mediately took possession of the land and began to maintain active police regulations, while Nebraska never released her claim, and | that the land in dispute is inhabited by a Inw- less population which takes advantage of the police differences to disobey the lawus pachsa at an CLAN-NA-GAEL WAS THERE. ‘Why the Irish Envoys Wanted to Put Of Their Providence Visit.

Prrrssvng, Pa., Nov. 24.—Thomas Faweott & Sona, one of the oldest and largest bituminous coal firms in this city, have failed. Judgments aggregating $160,000 were entered by the Cen- tral Bank this morning and all the property of the firm has been levied upon by the sheriff to satisfy these claims. The liabilities are esti- mated at $400,000, with assets of about £600,- 000. No statement has yot been made, but one is promised at once. The failure was not unexpected and, it is claimed, was not the result of the present finan- cial conditions. The firm has been carrying a large amount of paper, and for two months it has been known that they were about to give up the fight. The senior member, Mr. Thoi Fawcett, is president of the Central Bank, but the failure will have no effect upon that institu- tion, as itis amply protected. ‘The failure is attributed to the long-continued depression of the river coal trade. don.

World's Fair Managers Trying to Agree on Questions of Authority. Carcaco, Nov. 24.--A secret conference is being held today by a joint committee of the national commission and the local directory of the world’s fair, with a view of determining the much-disputed ques- tion of jurisdiction in the management of the fair. The directory claim that the 210,000,000 fund must be expended under its immediate supervision, subject to the approval of the commission. There is not likely to be serious division on this point, but a graver issue is the matter of soliciting exhibits. Under the commissions interpretation the di- rectors could do nothing in this direction with- out the approval of the commission, and that the directory seriously obje ‘The board alo objects to the commission's interpretation of the act, holding that the board has no power to originate any action in regard to exhibitors, foreign or domestic, Maar © progress of the fair will depend largely on the temper of the two bodies, for if either should become obstinate a dead-lock might ensue and the consequences be most. s¢- rious. If 2 satistactory settlement reached there are but’ two other. i portant things for the commission to do at this session. One is to accept tho plans and | Specifications which will be presented to it by its grounds and buildings committee and the other is to certify that the $10,000,000 is assured. That done the President ean be notified that all is readiness. The committce was still in ses- sion at 1 o'clock this afternoon. It is the inten- tion, if an agreement is reached in time, to report the results to the commision some time this afternoon. A member of the commission said to an As- sociated Press reporter, that in case an agre ment cannot be reached, the commission will simply adjourn and report the facts to the President. a FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, The New York Market Develops a Strong and Buoyant Tone.

HOW MUCH WAS EXPENDED IN CLEANING THE BRICK SEWERS—DEFECTIVE PIPE SEWERS WHICH SHOULD BE REMEDIED—HOW SEWAGE SHOULD ‘BE DISPOSED OF—ESTIMATES FOR NEXT YEAR. ’ Superintendent D. E. McComb of the sewer division today transmitted to Capt. Lusk the annual report of the operations of his depart- ment for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1890. During the year there was 129,909 lineal feet of pipe sewers cleaned; 22,904 lineal feet of brick sewers cleaned, and 244 Sewers repaired. The severe storms which occurred about the beginning of the fiscal year he says caused large deposits of sand, gravel and silt in the northwest bound- ary, Tiber, Missouri avenue and B street sewers. To remove this large expenditures were necessary and in view of the depleted con- dition of the ‘appropriation the cleaning and repairs to the main sewers had to be deferred. During the current year he says, it is expected that a large amount of” repair work will be done upon the Georgetown and 1ith street main sewers. Many of the old brick sewers require renewal and on account of the rapidly expanding sewer system he thinks an appropriation of £45,000 for cleaning and repairing sewers will be necessary for next year. DEFECTIVE PIPE SEWERS. There still remains, he says, a large number of pipe sewers constructed prior to 1874 which are defective from improper alignment, allow- ing deposits of sand, road detritus, &c., to accu- mulate und open joints allowing roots of trees to intrude and expand. These defective por- tions of the sewer aystem are brought to the notice of the office when the obstruction be- comes sufficient to cause complaints or are discovered in the performance of the opera- tions of the flushing, repairing and construct- ing gangs of the sewer division. The ex; rience of the sewer division leads to the belief that it will be necessary to replace all of the old pipe sewers with those of proper construc- tion carefully laid. Twenty-five thousand dollars can be profit- ably expended upon this work during the fiscal year 1891-92. ESTIMATES FOR NEXT YEAR. The following are the estimates for the next fiscal year for main and pipe sewers: Lower Rock creek intercepting sewer, €228,000. To intercept sewage at present discharged into Rock creek and convey the same to deep water in the river. Sewer on H street northeast between 7th and Florida avenue, $41,000 (to relieve overcharged sewers between 7th street and Florida avenue and to properly drain the low area between 6th, Sth, G and I strects northeast). Sower on B street northeast between 11th and Tennessee avenue, 23,400 (to divert sewage and drainage now carried by the 8th street system to the Tennessee avenue sewer). Sewer on 14th street southeast, from a point between K street and Pennsylvania avenue northward, $10,000. (This sewer will be the mi drain for the extreme southeastern sec- tion of the city). Sewer on 6th strect southeast between I and K streets, 23,000 (to replace _a portion of the defective sewer on this street).

Terra cotta pipe sewers, $50,000; receiving basins, $10, ‘Total, $247,500. For surburban sewers @194,550 is estimated for, divided as follows: Sewer on Navy place, €2,700; sewer in Eck- ington vally, $6,000: ist strect extended be- tween V and W, £17,350; sewer on Spring road, to provide a main drain for the Spring road valley, $6,500; Rock Creek valley sewer, be- tween'Lyon’s mill and Quarry road, terra cotta pipe sewers, 815, sins, $3,000. During the year $18,998.84 was expended in sewers under the compulsory permit system, one-half of the above amotint was borne by the applicants. For next year an appropria- tion of £35,000 for the construction of sewers under the permit and compulsory permit sys- tems ix asked for. Speaking of the condemnation of right of Way to construct, maintain and repair sewers, Mr. McComb says that it is not always found racticable to locate main sewers within the lines of the public strects or roads or upon public ground and to secure the right of way when it shall become necessary to construct sewers upon private properties, as Well as to acquire the right to maintain. certain sewers constructed upon private properties by the board of public works, an appropriation of $15,000 is naked. SEWAGE DISPORAL. Under this important head Mr. McComb says that the subject was discussed last February and a system of intercepting sewers for con- veying the sewage to deep water was proposed, the sewage from the greater, portion of the sewer district to be discharged into the rivec by gravity and from the low area to be raised by pumps _ before its discharge. The drainage from the low area was to be pumped also and the low area was to be protected from the high water in the river by dykes, suitably located. By authority conferr: a clause in the appropriation bill the President of the United States appointed a board to consider the subject of the sewerage system of the District. Mr. McComb speaks of the report and says that he thinks Magazine Point a — good point for the outlet of the sewer system if all the sewa is to be discharged nt one place, and probably better results would be accomplixhed by this means there when the population becomes dense than if it were discharged at the points suggested in. the report of Februai namely at the foot of Potomac street and at the foot of G street north, a point near Easby’s Point and a point a short distance below the Long bridge. The cost of the Magazine Point scheme, he says, will exceed by a con- siderable amount the scheme proposing four discharging points. The improvement of the sewerage system, he says, isa subject of the greatest importance to ‘this community and measures should be taken to secure its betterment at an carly date. To mect this result provision should be made to secure the necessary funds in order that the work may be commenced on a large scale ut the earliest possible moment. He ugain calls attention to the necessity for making provision in the appropriation bill for thove employes of the sewer division who by their duties are really permanent, although carried on a temporary roll, and whose services are so general “in character that it is very difficult to apportion their salaries among the different appropriations. No increased expense will be inenrred by the District, as the force estimated for is no greater than the force required by the sewer division and which will be employed and paid for from the sewer appropriation if special provision, as requested, is not made. FORCE THAT SHOULD BE EMPLOYED. ‘The following isa list of the employes asked for, together with the compensation they are to receive: One superintendent of sewers, $2,400; general inspector, $1,500; two assistant engineers, $1,500 each;’ one draughtsman, 81,500; one leveler, $1,200; three rodmen, $740 ks, each; three axmen, #650 each; two #1,200 each; one clerk, $1,000; two inspectors of property, $904 cach; two sewer tapers, £1,000 each; permit clerk, $1,200; assistant per- mit clerk, $939; total, $23,297. In concluding his report, Mr. McComb ealla special attention to the inadequate accommo- dations provided for his office force. He says the quarters are not comfortable, convenient, ‘or adapted to the preservation, inepection and use of the records pertaining sewers the District. a THE NAVASSA CASE, The United States has Jurisdiction Over the ‘Island and Crime, a In the Supreme Court of the United States today Justice Gray announced the decision of the court in the case of the Navassa rioters, who are under sentence of death in Baltimore for murder committed on the Island of Navassa in the Caribbean sea in where they were Shoe er aree i H 5 is Gi ive iy saat ‘ral stock, o6a6s; consolidated 0. stock, 4786334.

Not Saying so Much Now as They Did—Mr. Mills Confident of Winning. Several leading democrats who aspire to the speakership of the next House are now in the city and are doubtless now oocupied with their booms, but they are having very little to say to the publie on the subject. The first impulse of eagerness which led them to spring to the front with announcements of candidacy bas been curbed on second thought, and there appears to be general disposition to postpone the dis- cussion of the matter until nearer the time when the choice is to be made. ‘The party ad- visers outside of the contest are urging an avoidance as faras possible of any scramble after the place, fearing that bitterness may be engendered which would be hurtful to the party in the future. ‘MR. MILLS CONFIDENT OF WINXIX Mr. Mills, who is now in the city, avoids any discussion of the subject, but he evidently has no doubt of his winning in the democratic caucus. Ho regards the democratic victory as a vindication of the position which he ‘has always occupied on the tariff questions. If the demécrats in Congress generally regard the result of the clection in that light its urged that it will be difficult for them to find any rea- son why they should not elevate him to the Speakership of the democratic honse. He has been the foremost advocate of tariff reform | since he first entered the House and the other | tariff reformers who claim distinction on account of their zeal for the reform have been his followers in that school of thought. It is not thought that there will any sectionalism dragged into the contest when | it opens in earnest except, perhaps, by one or two northern men who may hope to advance their own candidacy by it, The fact, is that whoever is chosen dependent upon northern votes for his election. SECTIONALISM TO BE AVOIDED. Itis the policy of the democrats to avoid sectionalism as much as possible, and having a majority of northern votes they can well afford to elect a southern man rather than confess that there is any reason why sectionalism should determine their choice. When Mr. Randall was chosen Speaker for three terms it was by southern votes, and it is now urged that there is no reason for the northern democrats to consider anything ex- cept the qualifications of the candidate, wher- ever they may go for him. HE BOUGHT A CEMETERY And Didn't Know It, But He Will Make a Good Thing. Dr. Carraher, who is the physician to the poor in East Washington, made a purchase of a large building lot recently. The lot was sit- uated in Twining City, not far from the Penn- fter making the purchase he ing City and found that he was the owner e old Naylor burying ground, a family cemetery. He naturally thought he | had an elephant on his hand, but instead of that he soon learned that he had made a good investment. Relatives of the dead that were interred in | the little burying ground soon appeared to enter a protest against the sale of the lot, but the transfer had been made and’ now they are anxious to purchase the lot from the doctor. ‘The latter holds the ground at 35 cents per foot and has good prospects of Et ting that price. He paid something less than 10 cents a foot for the ground. setters Ne weit X DEAD. wspaper Man Suddenly Taken From Earth. Only a few of the many who knew Mr. E. W. Fox were aware of his illness, and the news of his death, which occurred yesterday afternoon, was a startling shock to an extremely large cir- cle of friends and acquaintances. Mr. Fox's health has always been of the most robust na- | ture and those who saw.him on Thursday last would never have supposed that the powerful, cheery-mannered man was so near his earthly end. ‘There was no complaint of indisposition on the part of the old gentleman until Thurs- day evening and then he went to bed feeling a little out of sorts. He remained in bed on Fri- day and was treated by his physician, Dr. Swormstedt. On Saturday his condition re- mained apparently unchanged and gave no cause for alarm. About 9 o'clock yesterday morning the caso first assumed a serious ap- pearance, and then ensued a consultation be- tween Drs. Swormstedt, Z. T. Sowers and E. A. Ballock. The best treatment failed to afford any relief and at 4:45 yesterday afternooa Mr. Fox died. HIS LONG AND USEFUL CAREFR. Elias Williams Fox will always be remem- dered in this city as the originator of the Mount ‘Vernon avenue idea and one of the most active promoters of that proposition. He advanced it when he was editor and business manager of the National Republican, « position he arsumed in 1885. Mr. Fox remained with the National Republican until 1888, when it passed com- pletely under control of the Post and was con- solidated with that paper. The Weekly Na- tional Republican was, however, retamed by Mr. Fox, and this he continued to’publish until ite transfer less than a year ago. For awhile Mr. Fox and his sons published the Washington Press, a daily paper, which suspended in 1889. ‘The life of Mr. Fox was a busy one. He was born in Buffalo, N.Y., in 1827, and after learning the trade of cabinet maker removed to St. Louis, where he speedily became prominent in ial and political matters. By industry he worked his way into partnership with Child & Farr in an enormous hardware business. He was the first president the St; Louis Loard of trade ever had, and he also had the honor of being president of the first national mercantile convention known in the United ._He was secretary and manager of the St. Louis Dispatch for some yeu R tician and a stanch republican Mr. Fox was a central figure in Missouri.
