Qounterfeiter Ballard Pardoned. ‘WASHINGTON, June 30,—The president has acted upon the application for pardon of a number of convicted criminals. The most important case Is that of Thomas Ballard, the notorlous counterfeitor, who was se tenced January 1, 173, to thirty years im- prisonment in the Albany penitentiary. The president grantshim a pardon. In endors- Ang the application, he says the prisoner was supposed to be one of the most experienced | counterteiters in the country. He has been In prison equal to more than fifteen years, allowing a deduction for good behavior. He has grown an old man, broken down physieally and mentally. His conduct has been such as to cause much interest in his case by many good citizens and officials, His wife, who has clung to him with a true :omm‘u devotion all these years, and who a8 _ almost worn hberself out in her efforts to support and educate her daugh- or, just now reaching womanhood, pleads iort e erring and pentinent husband’s re- . ‘There is a universal bellef on the of those aeq{unlnwil with the cnse that @ prisoner’s reformation Is complete, and that in no circumstance could this broken down man, whose mind is fast glving away with his body, be & menace to society if 1ib- erated. “'I amof the opinion thatin this case the law has been fully vindicated.” Several pardons were granted to persons convicted of violating the revenue laws and . ono to Jacob Heikle, convieted of bigamy in Utah. A pardon has been refused in the 80 of John Lrvine, sentenced in Wyoming, ‘ebruary 20, 1879, to imprisonment for life for mail robbery. 13 seems to be a bad time, #ays the president, to pardon such offenses when they are quite in vogue and their cou- mission frequent.

She is granddaughter of Au- gustus H. Potter, who, early in the century, purchased from the state a piece of land a mile and a quarter square on the Canada boundary line, all in New York, half or two- thirds of the/Ningara river, above, below and including the falls. ‘1his very valuable hold- Ing, which includes the town of Niagara, was tranemitted by old Judge Porter to his heirs, 1t was proposed and desired, Mrs. Burrall savs, to sell part of the estate, the island in the river, including Goat Isla the state for a park, All holders ex self agreed that if a certain bill betore the legislature was nassed by a certain time they would relinquish all' claims on the stato for pu?‘md’nl for water power thus sacrificed, This Mrs. Burrall refused, as far as she was concerned,to do. She seems to regard this elaim as a most important one, and whien it 18 remembered that the water power of the Niagara is 275,000 cubie feet per second or 700,000 horse power, which at the ruling rate of $40 per horse power is worth $5,000,000,the lady’s pertinacity in clinging to her rights, which David Dudley Field’s opin- 100 says are clearly hers under the riparian law, 18 not to bo wondered at. _The share of herself and her sister, if their claim were valid, would be in the neighborhood of $60,000,000, and though her claim has been beaten in the courts, it appears none the less to have strong lezal foundation, At present there is a_contest between the heirs over some undivided property which ties up her income, and he charges that Libby is acting in the interest of her ememies, who hope to starve her into leg al submission. ————— Utah's Constitutional Convention, Sart LAkg, Utah, June 80.—The Utah constitutional convention met to-day.

PHILADELPIIA, June 80.—|Special Tele- gram to the r.|—General Master Work- man Powderly yesterday detailed the facts concerning child labor gleaned from his long residence in the coal regions. He showed how children whose education was neglected, a8 they grew Into manhood, would naturally gravitate into Knights of Labor—illiterate, fgnorant and devoid of intelligence. heso are the men,” continued Mr. Powderly, “that the Knights of Labor have to deal with and if possible mold into something better. Men who ean’t read when charges of corruption are made can be led hither and thither by any one who may be dn enemy of the of- ficials, simply beenuse they can't add up a column of tigures, ‘The ignorance of many knights is what causes much of the trouble in locals, but it does not end liere. 1t makes the men the tools of unscrupulous dem nd places themjunder influences that se than Loy, Powderly's face brightened with hope, but it darkened agalu as be said: “But there is one question that the Anierican veople must take up that locally concerns the workingman. It is or will become the burn- ing question of theday, an fssne which will excel all others in importance, and that question is the problem of the great unceas- ing flood of immigration from old Europe. am_utterly opposed to all forms of pauper immigration and to a great deal of immiera- tion pure and simple. I think a hait should be called on immigration uvntil this nation can consider what it is doing in allowing these nationalities to enter here and become aburden on our country and a menace to American homes. As a ruling to decide who should be excluded I would make it an al- most inflexible rule that & man or woman who could not sustaln nimselt or herself ai their respective families for one year should not be allowed to land.” Powderly refused to say anything concerning the Statement that McGlynn intends to join the Knights of Labor. ‘The vposition of ‘the general board would probably prevent such an addition to their membership. Powderly and all the conservative knights are opposed to using the order to further any sq@listic, communistio and land theorie: bold, as has been clearly evident in recent utt by Pow- derly, that the mission of the knights is to legislate for the best interest of American workmen, free from all social and revolu- tionary ideas, While Mctilynn will not be refused admittance, it is cl ly understood that if he should attempt to raise a party within the party the general board would speak and act with decision and emphasis. — FIELD'S MISFORTUNE. He Loses Two or Three Millions On His Manhattan Deal. New York, June 50.—[Special Telegram to the Bre.]—The World this morning says: “Cyrus Field turned over the remainder of s Elevated railway stock to Jay Gould yes- terday. The amount was 20,000 shares, which, with the 50,000 shares previously dis- posed of by Field to Gould, shows the for- mer’s total holding to have been 70,000 shares. ‘The value of Field's big block of stock at $160 a share, which was the market price be- fore the downward movement began, was $11,200,000. He now has no interest in ) hattan and will retire from the board o rectors. Gould will keep the first lot of 50,000 shares to add to his own holding, mak- ing his total interest in the stock of the com- pany about $10,000,000. The second lot of 20,000 shares he will sphit up. This stock was subscribed for yesterday. ‘The World has the ‘whole story of Mr. Field’s retirement from good authority. It was enforced. He was car- rylng his monstrous load on margins, He had borrowed money from nearly every trust company in the stréat on the stock as fast as he required it In order to buy more. He finally cornered the stock and ran the price up t0'$170, The fate of his corner wi how- ever, the fate of nearly all corners, =Disaster overtook it. After the collapse of the coffee and wheat corners and the breaking of the Fidelity bank the trustcompanies, banks and other money lenders grew distrustful and began to call their loans. The market began to shrink and Field could not margin down his stock any lower, as he had no collateral on which to raise money. Thursday night he and his son Edwardiwent to Gould’s house at Irvington, Field told Gould the position he was in. He could no longer carry his load. Gould was satistied of Fields solvency if given relief from his clevated stock burden and agreed to take the amount offered —50,000 shares—at the price it averaged Field, which was about $120, * Gould came to New York next morning tg procure moncy and complete the transaction. "It turned out, however, that Field was still unable to extri- cate himself, and yesterday he went to Gould and asked the latter to take the rest of the stock. Gould agreed to do so and furnished the money to margin it down. ~In the earlier part of the dayv Fields face had indicated great mental distress. After the dea th Gould was consummated he was in most ex- cellent spirits, Field, despite his great loss in Manhattan, is still a wealthy man. He has always been proud of the fact that his name is historical as the promotor of the At- lantic cable and Elev: railway system of New York., Russell Sage was asked last nizht if the statement of Mr.'Field’s complete retirement from the Elevated railway was correct, and he replied tnat it was. “Fleld has disposed ot all his stock, as stated, to Gould.” - A Campaign Reminiscence.
