ACCUSED OF THEFT. Joe Mulhatton, America’s iiar, Falls from Grace. Prrrsnure, Pa., Nov. 11.—Joe Mulhatton, well known throughout the country as “Orange Blossom,” the writer of some of the most startling and marvellously untrue stor- ies ever punlished by the newspapers, was arrested hero today, charged with stealing money from Patrick O'Toole, a room mate. O'Toole allezes that he met Mulbatton 1 a saloon last night, and having missed his train accepted an invitation to share Mulhat- ton’s room for the night. When he arose this morning Mulhatton was missing and so was lis money. He reported the matter to the authoritics, the accused was arrested this morning. He denied taking the mox but the ameunt said to have been taken was found in his possession. Ho was locked up for hearing this morniug. Joe Mulhattan is known iu every city in the United States and has probabiy caused more trouble in newspaper offices than any other man in the country. His wild fakes, written in the most piausiblo style, have more than once caused the special correspond- ents of the progressive journals of the United States to hurry from coast to coast to in- vestigate some wonderful occurrence which only existed in the imagination of the great liar. Sowe months since he was sent to the Washingtonian nebriate asylum in Chicago, but was released about two months ago. He came to this city last week and has been here ever since.

[n reviewing these cases the court said they came under the laws of congross, approved Mucch 3, 1837, which prescribes that it shall bo the duty of the attorney genmeral to procced with such stops as are necessary to escheat any and all property of tho Mormon church held in violation of tho law of 1362, which declares that it shall not be lawful for the church to hold proverty n excoss of £0,000. “T'wo of the tracts, said the court, ‘“wero taken possession of bafore the act of 1862 and held by the church at the time. It appears the Giardo house has been occupied by the president of the church up w the time the United States receiver took possession. Thero is a question whether this property and the nistorian’s oftice should ba forfeited, hut the suprome court decres under section actof March 17, 1887, leaves 0o discration with this court and it is declared forfeited to the United States.

Reprosentative Conventions of Both Meet to Further Their Interests, PAPERS READ AND TOPICS DISCUSSED. Amendments Made to the Constitu- tion of the Knights of Labor— Farmers Meet and Talk on Timely Subjects, New Onieaxs, La., Nov. 11.—The Ameri- can Bankers assoclation bogan its sever- teenth anuual convention today with about 00 delegates in attendance, Senator Ran- dall deliyered the address of welcome. Ho doifvered a brief but patriotic address, re- forring to the necessity for u fixed standard ot values, and giving the delogates a wel- come, Atter the prosident's annual,jthe address of John Jay Knox was read. In the report of the executive committes tho principal matter was o request from bavking assuciations for a reprosentation. The matter was finally roferred back to the excoutive committes, which first revorted adversely, in - order that it might hear the views of all state associations and report back next year. The committee on protection was author- ized to prepare a plan for the protection against and punishnent of criminals and a standing committeo ou schools of finance and economy was also appointed. Secrotary Green's report showed 1,003 members against 2,000 last vear, the falling off being caused by failures, deaths and res- ignations. Financial Legi dntion. A letter from Hon, Charles Fostor, secre- tary treasurer, was thon read. On the operations of the financial legisla- tion of the last congress, after reciting the provisions of that legislation, the sccretary “The amount of silver buli- purchased with treasury notes, under the provisions of the new law from August 13, 1309 to November 1, 1801 hus aggregated 6 fine ounces, costing £05,026,505, an averago cost of §1.03 per fine ounce. From this silver $27,515,475 bave been coined and the remainder iS stored in the shape of fine bars in the vaults of the mints as & reservo ugainst tho treasury notes outstanding. “While it'is true that theamount of money in circulation in this country at the pr time 15 greater than at any previous pe our history, and more ner capita than in any of the leading commercial nations of the world, with the singie exception of France, [ amof the option, owing to our rapid growth in population and weak and extraordinary velopment 1n all kinds of business the arly inereaso in our circulating medium, Somewhat p rtionate to our growt population, is imperatively demanded. The issue of tréasury notes under this act affords such an increase of perfectly conveniently aud sound currency, based dollar for doilav upon the cost value ‘of silver bullion, redeem- able on demand in gold coin, and ‘with tho pledge of the government to muintain it at par. “Another object of the act was to providea home market for the silver product of the United States by requiring the purchase of a quantity of silver approximating the monthly product of our mines. Under the operations of this law silver advaaced from 6 conts per fine ounce on January 1, 1500. to 1.21 on Au- gust 19, 1890, That it has again retrograded in price is owing in purt to the fact that, be- cause of the liberal poticy excrcised by the treasury i the purchase of silver both as to quattity purenased aud price paid, large amounts of foreizn silver were at- tracted to this mavket. Other causes, which 1 cannot enlarge upon, operated to produce this result, prominent among which is alurzo falling off in shipments of silver to India and China. Shipments of silver from London to India during the first nine months of the vresent calendar year show a veduction of over 817,000,000 as compared with tne same period of the previous year, while shipments to China show even i greater decrease.’” The committee on schools of finauce and economy 1eported in favor of agitating the subjoct” and sending a commissioner to Eu- rope to study the best system there, Recent Railrod Legislation. Prof. Arthur Thadley of Yale read a paper on “Recent Railrond Legislation and Its Effect Upon the Finances of the United States,"” of which the following s a synopsis: Whatever causes shrinkage [n rallroad values 1s of importance to a body ot finan- ies are of more ini- portance 1y othier e of Investments find propertics nioro than all othors put to- zother. ‘A loss of 1 per cent in inferest on lirond * securiti a fall n capital valuation the whole wheat and cotton erop of the countey put to- gothor, At we look at tl Stoms (- thiit merce 30,000,000 or valiie of thoir in amount. 5 the intel thoy h i fn v moro than 25 per cent of U sels, This 15 unproce The sumo thing happened in 187, and again in 186, [t is peeutiar, n coming without a crisis in general business.

Iteports Made and Subjects Discussed at Yesterday's Session. SevaLia, Mo, Nov. 11.—he National Farmers congress reassembled at 11 o'clock this morning. A number of resolutions were introduced eud referred. Congressman Foard of Missouri delivered an address on railway transportation. This subject, ho declared, was of supreme import- ance to the farmer. One solution of this voxed question, he said, was found in stato rallway commissions, another, the mothod of controlling railroad corporations in the in- terests of tho people through tho Natfonal Railway commission. Some professed to be- lieve that railroads should be placed under governwent management. A government railroad, Heara betieved, would be a gigan- tic failure. In the first place the government would have to buy railroad and that would cost $0,000.000,000. That would be an iwpossibility, practic- ally becauso there is in ' circulation oniy $1,500,000,000. The purchase of the rail- roads would necessitate incurring 2 debt of @guntic proportions, and he did not believe tho farmersor any one else wanted to go down into their pockets and pay any move of a debt than they were now paying. Another wreat objection “to railway government coo- trol was the increao of foderal office holders which it would nocessitats. H. C. Brown of Guoreia endorsed overy- thine Heard had said.
