Buffalo, U. Y., Sept 22.—Gen. Lester B. Faulkner, was arrested and taken before a United States commissioner yesterday, charged with fraud in connection with the failure of the First National bank of Dansvllle, of which bis brother, James Faulkner, now supposed to be in Canada, was president. The complaint was made by Bank Examiner Gettman. Gen. Faulkner was a director of the failed bank, and as such officer, it is alleged, he assisted in making false and fraudulent entries, and signed the annual statement Aug. 1 last, in which it was stated that bills payable amounted to $6,000, whereas it should havo been $100,000. The formal charge is "that he violated section 5.02U of the United States statutes, in that, as a director of said bank, with intent to injure and defraud, he aided and abotted one Jamos Faulkner, then the president of such bank, In making false and fraudulent entries in the books and statements of said bank, and in making a false and fraudulent report to the controller of the currency of the United States, and did attest the same as correct, well knowing that the same was falso and fraudulent."

Beport That Several Lives Have Been Lost. the Trip. Washington, Sept. 22.—The financial situation is receiving close attention from the president and treasury department. Mr. Thompson said yesterday he had bean considering the subject carefully with a view ol adopting other methods for relieving the financial stringency, but as yet nothing had been decided definitely, and there would be no change from the policy outlined by Secretary Fairchild. The small amount of bonds offered and accepted yesterday was a surprise to the department. They expected a large instalment—at least $5,000,000—but less were offered than at any time since Ifr. Fairchild issued his circular advertising foi offers on bonds. Washington, Sept 22.—The prosident has completed, as far as possible, the arrangements for his trip to the west and south, and given out the programme decided upon to be followed. On Friday, Sept. 80, bo will leave Washington with Mrs. Cleveland, Col. Lamont, Mr Wilson 8. Bissell, of Buffalo, his former law partner, and Dr. Joseph D. Bryant, of New York, formerly surgeon general on the staff of Governor Cleveland, afterward retained in the same office by Governor Hill and appointed by Mayor Hewitt, of New York, as a member of the health board. The president «vill travel as nearly like a private citixen as the circumstanoes will permit, leaving all his cabinet officers at home. The train, which will consist of engine, baggage and supply oar, and two private cars, is engaged, and will be paid for by the president, the expense including the fares of eeich member of tho party. There will be no stops except thoee indicated in the itinerary of the trip and no extension of the time allotted to each place. Toledo, Sept. 22.—The Northwestern Ohio oil wells are in flames and|£ho fire is rapidly spreading. The ditches, the fields and the forests are filled with waste oil, in some places many feet in depth, and tha refuse Is all on fire. It is feared that tho oil well buildings and farm houses of whole townships will be swept ont of existence. For tho past month wo have been on the alert, looking up the latest styles ar.d best values for our many departments. house. Gen. Merwin, the newly appointed trustee of tho firm, is now in Joliet, Ills., investigating the standing of the ooncern there, on wjiich some of Wheeler's creditors have bised great hopes. He has written President Bigelow, of the Merchants' bank, making an unfavorable report. The Joliet branch seems to have been a shadow. The manager sent sheets of notes to Wheeler, to be issued as occasion required, and sent back to Joliet to be signed by the concern these. The paper thep returned to New Haven for Wheeler's indorsement, and was then presented at the bank for discount. There seemed to be a double indorsement on it, but the whole thing was Wheeler's. This is only one of various similar transactions. New York, Sept 22.—The weather was pleasant yesterday, and there was a largo attendance at the Brooklyn Jockey club racos. Tho track was in good condition. First race, purso $500, six furlongs; Mamie Hunt first, Stuyvesant second. Pearl Jennings third; time, 1:15%. Second race, handicap sweepstakes, $750 added, mile and an eighth; Oray Cloud first, Bessie June pecond, Ten Strike third; time, 1:53. Third race, Speculation stakes, {1,000 added, one mile; Phil Lea first, Cyclops and Armstrong ran a dead heat for second place; time, 1:42)*. Fourth race, Parkvllle handicap, $1,000 added, milo and a furlong; Eurus first, Eolian second, Dry Monopole third; time, 1:5C%. Fifth raco, purse $600, six furlongs; Bo Peep first, Taragon second, Figaro third; time, l:17Df. Sixth race, purse $500, selling, six furlongs; Skobeloff first, Bonnie S. second, Olendon third; time, l:17i£ The sight is magnificent. The flames extend over many acres and at times shoot up into the air 1,000 feet or more. The whole country is illuminatSl by the blaze. The heat is so intense that it o&n be felt three miles away, and it is impossible to approach within half a mile of the burning olL The creek flowing near is a surging river of fire and is fed by the oil flowing at the rate of 100 barrels an hour from the big Parker well. To-day we are "chuck"full of Bargains, many excellent things in the way of Ladies'and Gent9J Furnishing Goods, Hosiery, Underwear, Knit Goods, Corsets, Gloves, Handkerchiefs, Notions, Table Linens; Lace and Jute Curtains,Upholstery Goods, Carpets, Oil Cloths, Rugs, etc. The department is not satisfied that the situation is as grave as many people in Wall street would like to make it appear. The fact that the total amount of bonds offered yesterday was less than on any other day would indicate, in Mr. Thompson's opinion, that the holders of these bonds were not hard pressed for money. Mr. Thompson said he did not know when Mr. Fairchild would return. It is thought, however, that the present trouble will necessitate his early return, and it Is probable that no change at policy on the part of the government will be decided on. until he comes back. It is reported here that several drillers were burned to death, but it is Impossible to confirm the report. When the well known as Parker No. 1 caught Are Wednesday night from an explosion, the flames made a terrible, roaring sound, and the burning oil was scattered far and near. Well No. 2 caught flro next and aided in the conflagration. Four tanks were destroyed, with their contents, and the loss will reach $30,000 on these alone. An explosion occurred, and the burning oil was blown through the woods for a lonfj distance, and the trees and fences furnished ready food for the conflagration. When the explosion occurred George Johnson, who was fighting the flames, was caught in a whirlwind of smoke, oil and flame, and before aid could reach him ho was so badly burned that his life is despaired of. He was a terrible sight when rescued. His clothes were burned off, and the raw and blackcned flesh showed where the flaming oil had poured over him. The smoke and light from the burning oil have brought a large crowd of farmers into the city to learn the cause. There is said to bs talk of arresting Mr. Wheeler on a charge of obtaining money under false pretences. The bank people claim that his statement of liabilities is wrong, and that the total is at least $2,500,- 000. They hava consulted the city attorney, but no further steps hare yet been taken. There is n disposition to let the New York creditors make the first move, as the local creditors do not care to disclose their exact losses, as they would have to do in legal proceedings. CARDINAL GIBBONS. Our White Shirts are established for their excellent fit and made of standard material.. The same with Percale, Flannel and Working Shirts, which for universal low prices, distance competitors fully 30 per cent. On the way, when large towns are to be passed through, if reached in the daytime, the train will be ran through them slowly, to give the president an opportunity to see and be seen on the rear platform. There will be no speeches from the oar. The refusal to stop is made necessary by the obligation to adhere to engagements made at different points. A departure from this programme in two or three instances might seriously disarrange the whole programme prepared in a city to be visited. The Distinguished Prelate to Take an Baltimore, Sept 22.— Cardinal Gibbons will leave Baltimore Monday next for an extended western trip. He goes to Portland, Ore., to confer tho pallium on Archbishop Gross, of the province of Oregon. On his way out the caixiinal will stop at Chicago for a few days, the guest of Arohbishop Feehan. Thence he goes to Milwaukee, where he will remain for a day or two with Archbishop Hess. He will then proceed to St Paul, where he will be the guesfcof Bishop Ireland for several days. The cardinal will return from Portland via San Francisco, at which city he will pass about four days with Archbishop Riordan. His next stop will be with the venerable Archbishop Kenrick, of St Louis, after which he will go to Cincinnati and remain there a few days with Archbishop Elder. He will return to Baltimore about Nov. 12. He will be accompanied on his travels by Rev. Dr. L. P. Chappelle, rector of St. Matthew's, Washington. Extended Western Trip. Clifton, N. J., Sept. 28.—Yest«rclay'» races: First race, purse $350, for 3-yearolds, throe-quarters of a mile; Georgie C. first, Kink second, Eirod third; time, 1:20. Second race, purse $300, seven furlongs; Black Jack first, Tunis second, Frank Mullins third; time, 1:33%. Third race, purse (300, one mile; Souvenir first, Clatter second, Musk third; time, 1:49. Fourth race, purse (350, three-quarters of a mile; Leonora first, Miller second, James A. II third; time, 1:18. Fifth race, parse (350, mile and an eighth; Big Head first, Pilot second, Fagin third; time, 2:01%. Some talk of an extra session of miliums is indnlged in, but the president is so opposed to this that it is believed be will only call congress together as a last resort. The Star last night, in discussing the situation, said] HON. E. B. WASHBURNE, Wo carry the most complete line in this city of Ladies', Gents' and Children's Underwear. Cheapest to the best grades represented. Remember we carry no seconds in Underwear. Only first quality ot every description, at Rock Bottom Prices. "The political feature of tke situation, which it is believed adds to the cry of the surplus to be let loose, Is a desire to prevent the reduction of the protective tariff by congress this winter. The tariff reformers are more hopeful than formerly, now that the administration has taken the matter in hand, that they will be able to pass a tariff bill through the house. Such a bill as they might pass would not, in all probability, meet with the approval of the senate, and the responsibility for a failure might thus be made to rat upon the upper house. If the treasury ooold be forced to buy up bonds at a high premium, and so release the surplus from the treasury, the pressure would be relieved at once. There would be plenty of money in circulation, and when congress met there would be do pressure upon them for action. The need for money in trade and commerce would not be felt again until the spring trade came on, If as soon, and congress might meet and adjourn without taking any action to reduoe the revenues." Kx-Mlnlster to France, Stricken with Congestion of the Drain. At Indianapolis, the first stop to be made, tbe president will not go to any hotel, but upon leaving his train will take a ride over a route including the principal streets of the city, and will afterward hold a reception at the stato house. Chicago, Sept. 22.—The Hon. E. B. Washburne, ex-minister to France, is lying dangerously ill at the residence of his son, Hempstead "VVashburno, in this city, and his recovery is not expected. Since the death of his wife, six months ago, Mr. Washburne has not been in good health, but he has been able to be out most of the time. Yesterday morning he came part way down town, but returned to his son's residence, where he has been living, and after luncheon went to his room. Detroit, Sept. 33.—Yesterday, the second day of the Detroit Driving club's fall meeting, opened threatening, and the attendance was very small. Lady Bullion trotted against time, attempting to beat 3:40; time, 2:39. The other event* were: Five-year-old stakes; Chance first, Lucy Wilkes distanced; time, 2:28. 2:29 class, purse (1,000; Nettle Leaf, first, Protection second, Lottie Watterson, third; best time, 2:27%. 2:23 class, purse (1,000; Atlantic first, Ben Star second, Sarah B. third; best time, 3:21. For the 3-year-old stake Eminence had a walk over; time, 2:29%. At Terra Haute, where the stay will be very short, tbe people will see the president in a carriage as hs is driven from his train through the oity and back again. He has become convinoed by recent experience that if there can be any gratification to any considerable number of people to look at tbe chief magistrate, that curiosity can be better satisfied by a drive through a crowd than it can by compelling the crowd to accumulate about a platform in even the most ample space. Tho request has been made that the carriage rides to be taken in the different cities to be visited shall be announoed in advanoe, so that the crowding may be avoided as much as possible. Tbe practice of coming out to meet the president on the road commonly indulged in, to tlie great discomfort of public men of prominence, is objected to and will be discouraged. The rule will be to have reception committees await the president's arrival in their own cities, and so give the traveling party all the time on the road for tho quiet and rest that they will get only on the road. The invitations of all the cities to be visited will now be formally accepted. The president has deferred this business because it was not possible to make definite replies until all the dates of arrival and departure bad been fixed upon. In June last we contracted for 100 doz. Gents' Woolen Socks. We received this lot Wednesday and will offer them to the trade this week, 2 pairs for 25 cents. This is a lower price than we could buy the goods to day at wholesale. Lexington, Ky., Sept 21—Gen. William Preston, who had been ill for nearly three months,died at his home in this city yesterday afternoon in the presence of his family and a few relatives and friends. His death was peaceful and painless. The disease which carried him off was rheumatism and arterial decay.  An Old Confederate General Dead. Brokers Appalled by a Bootblack. Soon after 1 o'clock Mrs. Hempstead Washburne entered the room and found Mr. Washburne lying on the bed unconscious. Doctors were hurriedly called, and they said that Mr. Washburne was strioken with congestion of the brain, had suffered partial paralysis of the right side, and showed symptoms of having suffered a stroke of aiDoplexy. Late in the afternoon tbe exminister became partially conscious, but tbe physicians would not say anything more encouraging than that there was no prospect of immediate death. Cincinnati, Sept 22.—Jack O'Hara, the official bootblack of the Cincinnati chamber of commerce, has put in an oripUoation to become a member of that body. He lost both legs in an aceident five or six years ago. He has accumulated considerable property and wants to be put on a commercial level with his customers. The committee on membership is considerably wrought up over the application. It is said that he will be rejected on the ground of laok of moral character. Louisvilus, Sept 22.—Yesterday's events: First race, one mile; Sour Mash first, Vice Regent second, Lewis Clarke third; time, 1:43%.

The president and Acting Secretary Thompson had a long conference last night on the financial situation. Mr. Thompson was unwilling to adopt any radical changs of policy on the part of the department in the absence of Secretary Fairchlld, and the president finally took the matter in his own hands. He directed that a circular be sent out to-day offering to accept 4 per cent, bonds at a fixed price of 124 to the amount of $14,000,000, and also anticipating interest due Oct 1 without rebato. It is understood that there was considerable discussion over the price to be paid for the 4 per cent, bonds. The president was unwilling to consent to the proposition unless he could fix the rata. The move is in the nature of an experiment, and may or may not relieve the stringency of tbe money market. The president, however, has taken the responsibility of tbe act upon his own shoulders. Following is the circular: Lustlo Asylum Burned. London, Sept. 22.—Mr. Timothy Harrington's searching examination of the constables and polico witnesses at Mitcbellstown is exciting widespread comment in the Torj papers. The police viciously resent bis sharp queries, and presume upon the government's supporting them in the matter, despite the damagiDg admissions made by them. It is suspected that in tbe event of an indictment for murder against the police Chief Secretary Balfour will squeleh it, and prevent any legal trial. In this case it is feared that the people will take tbe law into their own hands and lynch the obnoxious officers, so high runs the indignation against them.  There May be a Lynching. Jacksonville, Ills., Sept 22.—Yesterday afternoon the main building of the Oak laws Retreat, a private insane asylum near this olty, was found to be oa fire, and before help could be bad it was burned to the ground.

A committee of the men had an interview with the superintendent yesterday afternoon, when tho superintendent stated that he had been authorized by the president to offer as a compromise twenty-one cents per hour instead of the twenty-two cents demanded. It is likely that the men will accept the compromise and gain one cent an hour rather than to take the risk of a strike.
