Other Failures. Yesterday was a veritable "black Friday" (coming on Monday this time) in Ogden. The announcement of the failure of the Commercial National bank to open its doors, on account "of the defalcation of the cashier;" was followed by a limited number of other and smaller suspensions. Rumor had it that five houpes had gone to the wall but this was found to be incorrect as only three mercantile firms and the bank closed.

was wholly unexpected, as the house has long been looked upon as one of the strongest private banks in Central Illinois. It was the depository of the county, city and township funds, the county treasurer alone being involved to the amount of more than $30,000. Mr. Thornton has large landed estates and other good security. and it is hoped he will be able to pay dollar for dollar to all depositors. He reserves nothing. and in any event will be left penniless. The bank has always enjoyed a large patronage and been backed by ample capital. and was therefore a popular depository for rich and poor. Hundreds of business men and farmers are involved, and the failure will probably prove 1 great blow to all business interests. As a result of the Thornton bank failure. Charles E. Woodward. of the Star Mills, of this city, was compelled to assign to-day, with liabilities of $75,000 and assets of $55,000. C. S. Woodward is the assignee.

Utah. Grasshoppers In great numbers have appeared In the vieinity of Pleasant Green, near Salt Lake. and are dealing destruction to all kinds of vegetation. Osear E. Hill, cashier of the Commercial National bank of Ogden. has been discovered a defaulter In the sum of $54,000. The discovery was made on the 8th when Hill was forced to make a showing of the status of the business. Experts have discovered the crookedness of Hill to cover a period of six years. That he had been able to delude the government Inspector and the directors for so long is an evidence of one of the most adroit steals in the history of banking In the West. But for the defalcation the Commercial Na. tional was one of the most solvent banks In the city, as its directors are among the wealthiest men in Ogden. One of them is H. O. Harkness of McCammon. Idaho, J. C. Armstrong of Ogden is president of the bank which was organized In 1884, having been n private bank for ten years previously. lta capital stock was $150,000 with is $40,000 reserve fund. The deposits were low, #140.000, Depositors will be fully paid. bat the bank will not resume. Cashier Hill is n young man and has a wife and one child. He has aged parents somewhere in California. Up to date he stood high In the confidence of his employers and the community. He has been In the banking business for many years, taking the position of cashier In the Commercial when It was made a national Institution. He has assigned his home and all his property to the bank. He will without doubt be prose. cuted by the government. The defalcation will result In well-nigh ruining some of the stockholders.

Likely to Resume. An effort is to be made to reopen the Commercial National bank at Ogden. The stockholders are to assemble this evening, and it is expected that an assessment will be made so as to raise sufficient funds to meet the defalcations of the cashier. That sounds like business and looks like an honest determination to maintain the credit and standing of the institution. Whatever blame some people may think attaches to the managers of the establishment in failing to discover the peculiar methods by which the cashier carried on his work of deception, it is clear that the bank failed temporarily, not because of ordinary business losses but through the dishonesty and cunning book work of an employe. The institution is therefore entitled to more public sympathy in its difficulties than if speculation and bad business ventures had wrecked it and brought ruin to others. The present determination is praiseworthy, and it is to be hoped it will be carried out successfully. A great deal will depend of course on the der positors. If they are disposed to be seasonable and helpful, and will refrain from crowding upon the bank and running it under, the probabilities are that the institution will be placed upon its feet again and be able to pay out every dollar that can be demanded of it. Salt Lake is interested in the prosperity of other cities of this territory. Nothing can affect them substantially without influencing this city. The announcement of the blow that had fallen upon the Ogden bank was a sorrow to the best people here, and the news that it has recovered from the shock and is again in good financial order, will be received here with unfeigned gratification.

Ogden All Sound. Special Dispatch to the Standar.1. OGDEN. Utah. July 18.-Ogden's two national banks will to-morrow morning publish statements of their condition. in response to a request of the national bank examiner. The statements show the banks to be in remarkably good shape. this being especially the case with the Utah National, which has about 70 per cent. of the deposits in its vaults and all the liabilities are cut down to bone. The condition of the First National is nearly as good. but it has more deposits and less cash on hand than the former. The feeling in local financial circles is much better than for the past few months, and conservative bankers consider that the crisis has passed for this city, unless something unlooked for occurs. The other state and private banking institutions of the city are in splendid shape. Negotiations are now pending for the opening of the Commercial National bank wrecked last week on account of the disappearance of most of its funds, supposedly through the criminal operations of Cashier Osear E. Hill. now under bonds to await the action of the grand jury. The stockholders of the Commercial will hold a meeting Aug. 1 and assess themselves for the purpose of obtaining working capital. The news of the financial panic in Denver to-day caused considerable excitement, but nothing serious. None of Ogden's banks were affected by failures.

# Oregon's World's Fair Exhibit Attracts Attention. # HER BIG FRUIT AND FINE WOODS # Judge Bellinger Refuses to Issue Writs of Habeas Corpus in the Chinese Cases. Seals are getting thick in the Columbia river. Not a gambling house is being run in Sacramento. Weiser, Idaho, claims the largest flour mills in the State. Counterfeiters are reported to be operating in the suburban districts of Portland. Oscar E. Hill, cashier of the Commercial National Bank of Ogden, is a defaulter for $65,000. A branch of the Theosophical Society of the Pacific Coast has been formed at Port Townsend, Wash. The Nevada State Board of Pardons has refused to grant any of the many applications presented to it. A wooden ware manufacturing company of Michigan is guaranteed $25,000 bonds in lands and money if it will erect a manufactory in Whatcom, Wash., and employ 100 men. The owners of the East Wellington (B. C.) collieries have telegraphed their unwillingness to agree to terms with their employes on the compromise offered by the latter; so the mines have shut down. The capture of a woman named Mc-Daggett at Bonner's Ferry, Idaho, who was engaged in smuggling opium from British Columbia, is reported. It was found in her berth, and amounted in all to sixty cans. Schultz, the self-confessed shooter of George Abranasin, a wayside saloon-keeper near Stockton, was confronted by his late employer, D. W.

The poisonous insect dropped from a bale of bananas into his open shirt bosom. A surgeon cut the flesh out all around the bite. Mariano Gearman, alias Bartolo Garcia, was arrested at Tuscon, A. T., and charged with the murder of Pedro Lopez in Tres Pinos, San Benito county, Cal., on September 29, 1879. For over twelve years Gearman has lived in Tuscon and vicinity, working in the mines and freighting. He has been known as Bártola Garcia, and bore the reputation of a peaceable and industrious man and cared well for his wife and little daughter. Judge Bellinger in the United States District Court at Portland refuses to issue writs of habeas corpus in Chinese cases until the customs officers have decided on their rights to enter the country. He added: "The government has appointed qualified officers to take care of Chinamen, and it is not presumed the courts are to take the matter out of their hands. Chinamen are not imprisoned in the usual sense of the word. They voluntarily placed themselves in this position and knew perfectly well they would be subject to examination on reaching United States ports." Those who are skeptical as to the worth of Oregon's exhibit at the World's Fair will find in the following clippings abundant evidence that her big fruit and fine woods are attracting no small amount of favorable comment: Chicago Evening Journal: "A representative collection of fruits from the growers of Oregon is arranged on the east side of the north hall in a glittering array of glass jars. Oregon prides herself on her prunes. Her soil produces with utmost impartiality Italian, German, French, Hungarian and her own 'silver prunes.' When it comes to a matter of size the State is also well to the fore. There is a pear in her exhibit which measures 9 inches and weighs 4½ pounds; a 'Gloria Mundi' apple weighing 2 pounds, a cherry 3¼ inches in diameter, and peaches 17½ inches in circumference." Chicago Tribune: "In the horticultural building, Oregon, which was the first State in complete readiness and which opened May 1, makes an exhibit which should be seen by all. It is a wonderful story of the resources of that State. Its plan of display is remarkably artistic and shows its many varieties of fruits in jar and on plate to great advantage. In all there are 400 plates of apples that make the mouth water and 240 immense jars of fruit in solution. There are monster pears, quinces, plums, peaches, apricots, cherries and grapes, any one of which, except the two latter, would do for dessert for a medium-sized family. There are 96 cases of prunes, sun-dried apples, pears, plums, peaches and other fruits. Chicago Inter-Ocean: Sections of horticultural hall contain fruits and vines, or more properly speaking, the displays of the bureau of viticulture and pomology. Of the latter Oregon, California, Utah and Nova Scotia have exceedingly fine exhibits ready for inspection.

Special to the TIMES.] CHICAGO, Sept. 8. A most extraordinary rumor is current here and believed by Congressmen generally well informed. It is to the effect that Secretary Carlisle contemplates coining the seigniorage without any authority from Congress, under the general power which he claime is conferred upon him to coin gold and silver. The seigniorage in the treasury amounts to about $51,000,000. The secretary is very urgent to do this, and it seems to be the opinion that he will venture to do it, unless the President shall disapprove of it, without waiting for any affirmative action from Congress. The rumor seems astounding and it is only repeated because it receives general credit. The secretary needs money because the customs receipts are falling off and because importers, in expectation of reduced duties, are making no importations. THE EXPENDITURES MUCH EXCEEDING THE RECEIPTS. WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. At no time since the war have the eustoms receipts been so low as now. The matter is causing Mr. Carlisle a good deal of worry. In the treasury last night the cash balance was reduced to $105,000,000, inclusive of the gold reserve and $1,000,000 abraded and uncurrent subsidiary coin. What is left of the dep'eted gold reserve continues to be the only cash balance in the treasury with which to pay current expenses. The receipts are now running about $170, 000 per day behind the expenditures. For the first time the import duties have fallen below the internal revenue receipts. For the fiscal year from July. 1 to the present time the government expenditures exceeded the receipts by $19,000,000. At this rate the deficit at the end of the year will be very large. ASIATIC CHOLERA IN THE COMMONS. LONDON, Sept. 8. Almost a panic was created in the House of Commons by the official announcement that a scrub woman employed in the house died to-day un. der very suspicious circumstances. A careful examination was made to determine definitely whether or not it was a case of cholera. Many members left the house forthwith. The doctors' examination leaves scarcely a doubt that the woman died of Asiatic cholera. UTAH BANKS IN SPLENDID CONDITION. OGDEN, Sept. 8.
