They do not consider that a mere
mock conversion to-day, because it pays,
you know, obliterates entirely the fact that
in the past men could not be trusted be-
cause they were traitors to their friends,
because like the fawning curs they turned

It is true, the conversion may be real,
may be genuine, may be lasting, but at the
same time we rather cherish the belief that

Owing to the fact that we go to press a
day earlier than usual, we are not able to
present the result of the adjourned meeting
of the creditors of Chase & Smith, Syra-
cuse, which occurred Wednesday.
It is
believed, however, that the concern will be
formed into a stock company in which the
creditors will take stock.

According to the decision of the Supreme
Court of Ohio, last week, in an appeal by
J
OHN O'CONNELL, agent for the Treat
& Shepard Co., Bridgeport, Conn.,
was arrested last Monday morning on a
warrant sworn out by Joseph Mills, of East
Setauket, L. I., who charges O'Connell
with forcibly seizing an organ without hav-
ing obtained permission from the authori-
ties to enter his residence for such a pur-
pose. Sheriff Brown made an effort to de-
tain O'Connell in Port Jefferson the day
the instrument was removed. Bonds were
furnished for the appearance of O'Connell
by Mr. Taylor, Treat & Shepard's manager.
It seems that Mills purchased an organ
in 1886, for which he agreed to pay $60 on
the installment plan, and agreed if the
amount was not paid within a certain time
to forfeit the sum he paid out and the or-
gan also. In ten years Mills arranged to
pay $32, and during the last four years has
absolutely refused to pay a cent.^
Mr. O'Connell will be given a hearing
next Monday, and if held the prosecution
will be obliged to secure extradition papers
to take him to Port Jefferson for trial.

E stated last week that a report had
reached us that a well-known dealer
of Omaha, Neb., was in financial difficul-
ties, but that particulais were lacking. It
was to the effect that Mr. Adolph
Meyer, of Omaha, Neb., was in financial
difficulties. This seems to be confirmed
by a later report, although in the East there
is but little known as to the general condi-
tion of his affairs.
