THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1869. e Rambusch had not only executed a ficti- tious mortgage, but he had, after record- ing it, raised the amount to $2500. Rambusch was frightened at Spence’s note and drawing $500 from the bank left town. Mrs. Spence placed an attachment on all of his property the next day and the whole story of his transactions began to unfold itself. % The confession of Rambusch, which came in the form of a letter for his wife, is far from complete. The family refuse to make the letter, public, although the authorities have been allowed to read it. 1t tells nothing of what he did with tl!e money. He says that for twenty years his life has been a lie. He has led a dual existence, and that life had at last become unbearable, and when his wife received the letter he would be de: He claimed his income from his office was not sufficient to keep up his house in the way in which he wanted to run it. He said that he had not used any of the money in gambling or | specalation, or had not, as might be charged, spent it for pleasure or de- bauchery. The levter was dated at Colon- nade Hotel, Philadelphia. Twenty years ago Rambusch was en- gared in the real estate business in part- nership with Richard Mertz. They pur- chased the abstract office of Judge Lewis, and he was pushing them hard for pry- ment. In October, 1877, a small brick building, in which were the county offices and all of the real estate records, burned. It was charged at the time that the fire was started to destroy the evidence against Ode Traynor, who was County Treasurer, and who was allezed to bz short in his accounts. Traynor was tried and acquitted. At the time the District Attorney suspected Rambusch of being the incendiary, and had collected some evidence against him, but not enouzh to warrant prosecution. The next morning after the fire Ram- busch borrowed enough monéy to Judge Lewis and to secure the abstra: The fire which destroyed the county records made Rambusch. The records, which he bought for $3000, were then va ued at about 000. Dodge County could not then afford to have new records writ- ten. Rambusch was the only one who could furnish a complete abstract of title to its lands, and he secured from the county a contract by which he to fur- nish it for twenty vears all of its abstraets. This contract siill has two years to run. It placed every investor who put money into Dodge County lands absolutely at f one man. ght he began his frandulent work in 1876. All the time he wasa good church member. An Episcopalian, he went to the Presbyterian church because his denomination had no church here. He cared for the coll P2 CAUSE OF HIGH WHEAT PRICES. Dry Weather Shortens the Crop Abroad and Increases the Demand on the United States. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 18.—The Agricultural Department, from the Octo- ber returns makes the follcwing report: Crop conditions—A feature of tbe present outlook, encouraging to the producer, is the prospective shortage of the Earopean crop. In Germany, & heavy producer of pota- | toes, not more than half a crop is likely, and with heavy shortages in other States an increased demand for export trade will probably arise. A general decline in con- dition of sugar cane is shown. In Louisi- ana, the chief producing State, only about balf a crop is indicated, and less than that in Texas and Arkansas, while the condition in Georgia is far below the normal. Dry weather is cited as the cause of the shortage. There is a decided falling off in condition of rice from 76.50 to 68.6. The drought has been the principal cause of low condition. Of the wheat market in Great Britain the European agent of the department writes: Great Britain is the principal outlet of the superfluous wheat of the world, and her markets during the past month have presented a study of peculiar interest ana value. It was known at the opening of the month that the Russian and Ameri- | can crops were short. There was practically nothing available from othier exporting countries, except a few cargoes of last season’s wheat from | Argentina, and stocks were lower both in Great Britain and on the Continent. The Russians declined to sell, except at en- hanced prices, and their shipments fell far behird the usual average for the time of year. The only source of supply was the United States, and it might naturally have been expected we would reap the benefit of the situation by obtaining en- hanced prices. Our financial position-appears, however, to have precluded our taking full advan- tage of the situation, and our new wheat came forward in great guantities. The month ends with an improvement of 6 to 7 cents a bushel, but it is the general opinion of the members of the grain trade in London and Liverpool that the advance might have been doubled and brought about earlier had the United States been in a position to hold back wheat. Itis certain that the harvest of the current year will see no surpluses, and it is rea- sonable to suppose that we shall see no further reduction of wheat areas, such as have been observable in the records of the last few years. STONES THROWN BY A MOB. Missiles Intended for a Negro Assailant Seriously Wound Passengers on a Train. ‘WESTCHESTER, Pa., Oct. 18.—Ed- ward Brown, the negro who attacked Mrs, Thomas Johnson in a suburb of Coatsville night before last, was landed in jail at this place at 1:30 o’clock this morning. When the officer took the culprit to the railway station a mob surrounded him and 1t was with the greatest difficulty that he suc- ceeded in placing the scared negro safely on board the cars. Before the train started stones were hurled through the car win- dows thick and fast and the passengers be- came terror-stricken and rushed in all direction to escape the flying missiles. One man, a passenger from the West, was struck on the head by a stone and the whole side of his face was laid open, while & number of others received slight cuts and bruises about the head and body. R READING REORGANIZATION, Plans Complete for Turning Over Prope erty to the New Company. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 18.—Plans for the reorgzanization of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company are now about complete, and unless hindered by some unforeseen obstacle the property wil be turned over by the receivers to the new company on Decem ber 1, the beginning of the new fiscal year. Application will be made for a new char- ter under the laws of the Commonwealth, which will brin the company within the provisions’ of the new constitution and greatly curtail its powers. The most im- portant change, as a result, will be the sev. erance of the coal and iron company from the railroad companv. As far as innwn there will be no change in the officers of the two companies, tions of the church. | BRYAN BREAKS A SUNDAY RULE To Oblige Colonel Butler the Nebrakan Talks to Newsboys. Pretty Sentences -That May En- courage Little Fellows in Life’s Battle. “WE WERE ALL BOYS ONCE.” Those Who Begin the Struggle for Bread at an Early Age Have an Advantage. | DETROIT, Mrcn., Oct. 18.—The rule established by William J. Bryan to avoid any public addresses on Sunday was bro- ken to-night, when he spoke briefly to a crowd of newsboys at the Newsboys’ Hall, He did it to oblige his friend and sup- porter, Colonel I.G. Butler, president of [the Newsboys’ Association. At Mr. Bryan's request the affair was kept very uiet, and outside of the little venders a few visitors only were dresent. In the be- lief that Mr. Bryan could not coms Colonel Butler dismissed the boys shortly after 9 o'ci ck. Nearly all were out of the hall when Mr. Bryan made his appearance. They scrambled back to their places and heard this jittle speech from the candi- | date: | Boys, I aid not come to make a speech to- | night, because this is the aay that I rest and I | have felt the need of having a day of rest more | recently than ever before. But I came because I never like to decline an invitation to be present at eny place where an endeavor is being made to do good. And I don’t know of any work which is better than that work which done for boy We were all boys once—and | some of us not so very long ago—and when I see boys I am reminded of what one of our esidents, 1 think it was Garfield, said—that { you could not tell what possibilities were buttoned up under the vest of & boy. When 1 | | think of the possibilities that lic before a boy {ina coun e this, I can appreciate auy movemer ch has for itsobject the betlering | of the condition of boys or giving to them | higher idees in life and the making of better | men | Now, we are not ourselves responsible for the | surroundings of vouth. We are born into this | world and the surroundiiigs meet us and 10 a | certain extent they affect us. But beyond | that we have much to do with shaping our { own course. What we amount to in this world | depends upon the ideas whnich we have. Some | one has said that a person who aimsat the siars will shoot higher, which simply means that those who have the hizhest purposes will accomplish most. A meeting of this kind, | where they teach you pairioiism, where they teach you regard for each other, respect 10t | ench other’s rights, necessarily eievates vour {ideas, gives you broader views of iife, aud those views will help you to accomplish more. Now, iu this Country in which we live boys are more blessed thun in any other couniry | on errth, occause the boy in this country has | everything open to him,and the boy in this | country may accomplish more than he can in {#ny other country. I am here simply 10 tes- | tify by my presence more than by my words {10” the interest that I feel iu organizations | such as this, 1 care not under what auspice they are conducted. No good effort s ever lost, and if a kind word spoken 1o & boy, 8 | kind hand given 1o a boy, gives him nope, | makes nim desire better things, starts him on un upward course, there is no measuring the influence that that kind word or kind act has. There is a song that they sing In Sunday- scoool, “Kind words can never die; kind deeus can never die.” | Now‘there are many times when a human | life, or many human lives, will depend u | «he action ot one person; there are times when | the welfare of the community will depend | on one person; there are times when the wel- | fare o’ the Nation will depend upon one per- | son, aud when you remember how influential | one person may become in the destinies of the | Nation, how usefu: he may be to his fellow, to | society, you can see thal if & kind word or act should be the cause of getting that boy | started right, leading him up to take advan- tage of his opportunities, what results may_ foliow, I want you to remember that no good ever comes to boys or men from doing wrong and thatright aiways peys. I know it ishard al- waye t0 believe, but if you take & broad view of life and its possibilities, you will find that it always pays to do what you believe is right. 1t is aiways necessary that you should try to find out what right is, and the education which you receive in the scnoois enables you to see things and understana things, and then the desire 1o do the best thing leads you to igke advantage of the opporiunities that are offered to you. I notice the mottoes on the wail and mottoes from the National songs. I want you to grow into larger boys and into men, appreciating the aayeniages which your country affords, and then that each one of you shal. huve the ambition to make the mostout | of those advantages, because you know if ad- vantages come to persons and they do not use them, advantages migni jast as well not have come, and if & person desires to use advaniages and they do not come, then he is helpless. But [if in a country like this you have the advan- tages and then make tle best of the oppor- iunities you can see the highest form of citi- zenship.

If I can leaye this idea with you I think that it may be of use to you: ‘Lhat the highest good that can come 1o you is from service—{rom doing something for others, and you will find among your play- mates that the boy who does most for the boys around him is the boy who is liked best ana is the boy who enjoys himseif most.

They Expect to Secure a Large Fote for Pualmer and Buckner. CHICAGO, Irn, Oct. 18.—It was defi- nitely decided to-day that Generals Palmer and Buckner, who will arrive at noon to- morrow from New Orleans, will visit Omaha. In that city they will speak under the auspices of the State committee of Nebraska, and 1f the committee deems it advisable the candidates will make a flving trip to Lincoln. They will come East through Towa and may either return to Chicago or proceed to St. Louis, where the State committee is preparing to give them a big reception. The itinerary of the Western jaunt will be completed to-mor- ToW. With only two weeks of active cam- aign left the cfficers of the National emocratic Commiitee are more than ever satisfied that Palmer and Buckner are go- ing to receive their full share of votesin in every State where the gold Democrats have organized. Advices from National committeemen and from the chairman of the SBtate committee received by Vice- Chairman Hopkins during the past lour or five days indicate that the sentiment of sound-money . Democrats in favor of Palmer and Buckner has been growing at a phenomenal rate, and that thonsauds of Democrats who had originally intended to cast their votes for McKinley are taking refuge under the standard of the Indian- apolis convention. Vice-Chairman Hop- kins does not deem it advisable ut this time to give out any figures relative to the probable vote for the ticket, becanse he inclines to the belief that the present estimates are too low. He believes that during the two weeks intervening before election day a radical change will take place and that more than 90 per cent of the sound-money Democrats of the Na- rion will voie for the candidates of the Indianapolie conyention. STORYTOLO BYSTATISTICS Interesting Circular by Professor Hyde Issued by the Agricul- tural Department. When the Ratio of Silver Was the Lowest So Were the Prices Re- ceived for Wheat. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 18.—The Agricultural Department will to-morrow issue & pamphlet on the subject of wheat prices by Professor John Hyde of the Sta- tistical Department. There is no attempt at concealment of the fact that the sub- ject matter of the circular has been con sidered along with the money question and made part and parcel of it. The statistics cover a period of twenty- eight years, ending June 30, 1595, during which time the United States exported more than 2,000,000,000 bushels of wheat and 216,162,122 barrels of flour, equivalent in the aggregate to more than 3,000,000,000 bushels of grain. For those exports were received more than $3,000,000,000 “in gold or its equivalent.” The circular says the expression *“in gold” 1s used because from the beginning of the period under consideration down to the end of 1878, the prices of all com- modities was computed in currency that was continually fluctuating in value. The circular says: Before the prices of American products at any time from 1862 to 1878 can be compared with the prices of similar articles in other countries or at other times, they have to be reduced to their value in the money of com- merce. The statistics with respect to wheat from{1867 to 1895 are gruoped into five terms of five years each and one of three. For these periods it is fonnd that from July 1, 1867, to June 30, 1872, the average pric- per bushel for wheat was $1.1696; from 1872 to 1877, $1.1414; from 1877 to 1882, $1.1934; from 1882 to 1887, $1.0266; from 1887 to 1892, $0.992: from 1892 to 1895, $0.7487. Upon these figures the circular says: The most noteworthy feature of this table, next to its stupendous aggregates, is the fact that it was not during the five years immedi- ately preceding 1873, but from” 1877 10 1882, that we received the nighest average price per bushel. During that period our exports were larger than at any other time under consider- tion. After citing the comparatively high prices that prevailed through almost the first half of 1868, the circular eslls atten- tion to the fact that while the wheat- grower does not forget this, he does not so readily remember; neither is he so fre- quently reminded that before the end of the year 1869 wheat was worth much less. No. 1 was equivaient to 63 and No. 2 to 72 cents in gold E‘er bushel and this when silver was worth $1.325 per ounce, or 156 to 1. This period of low prices lasted about eight months and was brought to an end, not by any change in the value of silver nor by any legislation affecting the currency, but nmily by the breaking out of war between France and Germany. After discussing the l.}neszion of uuppfy znd demand and making reference to the new wheat-growing countries that have been opened up, causing a reduction in the price of wheat, the circular conclades: In the face of such facts as the foregoing it would luu‘l{ be rigiculous to discuss seriously the contention that it is the fall in the price of silver that has cansed the fall in the price of wheat. From 1873 to 1882 silver fell more than 18 cents an ounce, or 14 per cent, gad wheat advanced about 2)5 cents per bushel, or 2 ver cent. During the last ninety days silver bas fallen 4 cents &an ouuce, and wheat, owing to deficient harvests in other countries, has advanced from 64 to 78 cents per bush SHIPWRECKED MARINERS ARRIVE After Gales and Hurricanes They Aban- don the Southern Cr QUARANTINE, 8. L, Oct. 18.—The Clyde line steamer Delaware, which ar- rived this afternoon from Haytian port: brought Captain Watts and seven men, the crew of the Halifax schooner Southern Cross, which was abandoned in a sinking condition on October 16 in latitude 32 15, longitude 75 12. On September 24, off the t end of Cuba, & violent northeast gale was encountered by the Southern Cross, which lasted five days, and the schooner was driven 125 miles {uk into the Gulf of Mexico. Fine weather until October 10 was followed by a hurricane, which threw the vessel on her beam ends. Some seams started, and she began to leak. Several days Iater the Delaware hove 1n sight, was signaled and Captain Watts and his ‘crew were taken aboard. i PN AN ANNIVERSARY SERMON Preached by Rev. H. B. Whipple, Bishop of Minnesota. PITTSBURG, Ya., Oct. 18.—The elev- enth annual convention of the Rrother. hood of 8t. Andrew was brought to a close WANT T COSTS T0 KEEP AN ARMY Secretary Lamont's Esti- mates for the Next Fiscal Year. An Appropriation of Over Fifty- Two Million Dollars Is Desired. WORK CN THE COAST DEFENSES. Salaries Eat Up a Large Amount of the Sum Asked for, but New Fortifications Are Proviaed. WASHINGTON, D. 0., Oct. 18.—Secre- tary Lamont will to-morrow transmit to the secretary of the Senate his estimates of appropriations required by the War Department for the next fiscal year. The aggregate is $52,875,638. The estimate for the running expenses of the War Office in Washington is §1.464,- 236, showing a reduction in the annual expenses for salaries and contingencies in that office of $621,942 from the estimates of four years ago. The other estimates in detail are as follows: Pay of the army as fixed by law, §13,- 522,880; subsistence of the army, $1,650,- 837; quartermasters’ supplies, §$2.200,000; incidental expenses of the army, $600.- 000; barracks and quarters, including bospitals, $835,000; shooting-ranges, $25,- 000; cavalry and artillery horses, $130,000; army transportation, $2,500,000; clothing, $1,100,000; medical supplies, $140,200; ordnance department, $1,131,000; mili- tary academy, $521,812; arsenals, §139,798; military posts, National cemeteries and National parks, $1,558,380; National sol- diers’ homes, $3,443,314; artificial limbs for soldiers of the late war, $191,000; pub- lic buildings and grounds in Washington, $139,992; miscellaneous items, $402,000; rivers and harbors, $5,349,000, to meet payments on existing contracts, the de- partment at this time being unable to say what sum will be required by future con- tracts for which authority exists. The ‘estimate for fortifications and sea- coast defenses has been increased to $15,- 825,827. In this connection Secretary La- mont makes a statement of the condition of this work, the advances that have been made and the results that can be secured by the increased appropriation which he asks. This shows that on 1st of July, 1889, but one modern gun had been piaced in position. On the 1st of July, 1897, there will have been completed defenses with armament as follows: Thirteen 12-inch guns, thirty-seven 10-inch, eight 8-inch and four rapid-fire guns and eighty 12-inch mortars. Of these, seven 12-inch, nineteen 10-inch, fifieen 8-inch, four rapid-fire and thirty-two 12-inch mortar implacements are to be constructed under contract, while the remaining ones are now being built by the engineer deparj- ment with hired labor. » The following statement shows the con= dition of the coast defenses after the ex- venditures authorized by the act of June 16, 1894, implacements with guns and mortars that should be in position: Portland, Maine—Two 12-inch and five 10-inch guns and twelve 12-inch mortars.

By the time a new appropriation can become available all the 1ls of every type of carriage will _have been fully de- termined. fith sufficient ‘money, there- fore, the limit to future rapidity of prog- ress in coast defense is combined the an- nual capacity of public and private plants to supply ordnance material. Upon this fact are based the department’s estimates for the enkuing year.

Numbers of Catholic Churchmen Assembls at New York to Bid the Distinguished Prelate Farewell. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 18.—Cardinal Satolli, until recently Papal Delegate to this country, sailed yesterday morning for Naples on the North German Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II, which left her dock in Hoboken at 10 o’clock. He was accompanied by Father Bianco, his tem- porary secretary. Father Gamboni of Louisville, Ky., was a fellow-passenger. When he reached the North German Lioyd line pier he found awaiting him Archbishops Corrigan, Mattinelli and Chappelle, Mgr. Sbarretti, Dr. Rooker, secretary to the Papal legation in Wash- ington, and Father Connelly, secretary to Archbishop Corrigan. Tne party boarded the vessel at once and went to the cap- tain’s cabin, which was erowded until sail- ing time with clergymen and prominent laymen who had come to bid farewell to the distingnished prelate. Among those who called were Archbishops Ireland and Riordan, Bishops McGoldrick, Gabricls, Farley, McDonnell and McNamara. Brother Justin, president of tne Man- hattan Collere, had chartered the excur- sion steamer Valley Girl to accompany the Kaiser Wilhelm down the bay. The little steamer was crowded with passen- gers, the majority of whom were clergy- men. When the whistle sounded the crowd began to hasten from the steamship decks and Archbishop Corrigan and Archbishop Ireland met face to face. They shook hands cordially and chatted together for a few moments. There was great cheering from the steamboat when the big ocean liner pulled into the stream and iurned her nose to- ward the bay. Theexcursion boat quickly took her position on the port side. There she remained the entire distance of her trip. But few of the Kaiser Wilhelm's passengers were on deck and there was no sign of Carainal Satolli. It seems thai he was unaware of the near presence of such anumber of loyal admirers, and on bid- ding farewell to the crowa in the cap- tain’s cabin supposed he had seen the last of his American friends, for a time at least. The crowd on the Valley Girl cheered a man on the Wilhelm whom they supposed to be the Cardinal, but it proved to be Father Gamboni. He quickly real- ized the situation and started for the cabin, Then the cheering began again while the band played *Just Tell Them That You Saw Me.” Pretty soon Father Gamboni returned with the Cardinal and Father Bianco. Then panaemonium reigned. Every one on the steamboat yelled him- self hoarse, three cheers were called for and giyen again and again. The band changed its tune to **Auld Lang Syne.” The Cardinal appeared immensely pleased. He leaned over the rail between the two other clergymen and bowed and smiled and waved his hat. ARRIVES SIFZ AT SOUTHAMPTON. Voyage of the American Liner Paris Across the Atlantic With One Engine Disabled. SOUTHAMPTON, Oct. 18.—The Ameri- can Line steamer Paris, Captain Watkins, from New York, before reported as vro- ceeding with her starboard engine dis- abled, arrived here this morning. To a representative of the United Asso- ciated Presses Captain Watkins said that on the morning of October 8 the starboard shaft broke in the tube about fifty feet from the propeller. The vessel was at once stopped, and after an examination it was decided to proceed for Sonthampton under the port engine. The Paris was then 353 miles from New York. In theafternoon of the same day the White Star Line steamer Teutonic, bound eastward, passed the Paris. Later the Hamburg-American Line steamer Fuerst Bismarck, bound for New York, sighted the Paris and went alongside of her. The Fuerst Bismarck offered to take the Paris in tow, but the offer was de- clined. During the irip the Paris spoke twenty other vessels. 8he completed her passa:e under her port screw, averaging twelve and a half knots per hour, and she cov- ered the course without a hitch. leneiaita s The Fenezuelun Tangle.
