Nathaniel Pendleton, his grandfather, was the intimate personal and political friend of Alexander Hamilton, and was his second in the duel with Aaron Burr. The subject of this sketch studid law and was elected to the house of representatives in congress from Hamilton county, O., in 1850. He served four terms. In 1864 he was prominently mentioned as a presidential candidate, but, the majority of the delegates being in favor of a military man, Gen. George B. McClellan was nominated as the Democratic candidate for president, with Mr. Pendleton as candidate for the vice presidency. The issue of the election was adverse, only Delaware, New Jersey and Kentucky casting their votes for McClellan and Pendleton. His term of service as a United States senator began on March 4, 1878, as the successor of Stanley Matthews. Mr. Pendleton's chiof political reputation of late years rested upon his advocacy of the civil service reform bill, which he originated, and which owed its passage mainly to his labors and sagacity. On account of his prominence in this matter he made many enemies in the party ranks. sels, Belgium, Nearing the End of the Great Loni*Dn, Nov. 26.—The flag of the ne* Brazilian republic was hoisted for the first time in English waters with a result that must have been discouraging for the over zoalou* officer who nutde haste to display his colon in advance of formal recognition of the gov ernment whoee emblem was thus flaunted.

Witness then told them that about three weeks before that time he saw a buggy coming north stop in front of the Carlson cottage. A tall, thin man, wearing a dark brown overcoat, got out of the buggy and went into the cottage. London, Nov. 26.—Mr. Mackinnon, the president of the Emin relief committee, has received another letter fromv Henry M. Stanley. It was written at the camp at Kizinga Uzinja and is dated Aug. 17. Mr. Stanley says that Emin, with Seliin Bey, seven officers and sixty-five people, arrived at his camp Feb. 17. Lieut. Stairs arrived on the 18th, with his column, from the Ituri. At a meeting on the 18th, Selim, who had retaken Duflle from the Mahdists, killing 250 of them, stated on behalf of the deputation that they had come to request time to allow the Equatorial troops and their families to assemble at KavallL Mr. Stanley continues: Daytos, 0., Nov. 2G,—An explosion of natural gas in the residence of S:oit Hawthorne at this place to-day created tremea dous excitement.

The Bra zilian captain declined to comply with tht request, and the British forts and war ship remained silent. It is probable that the captain of the Brazilian ship will make such representation of the affair as will call forth an investigation of England's attitude with regard to the new South American government from the foreign office.

W. Va., Nov. 26.—Without any known cause three immense flywheels controlling the machinery of a large factory belonging to the Parkersburg Mill company simultaneously exploded yesterday, demolishing everything itiBide of the building, including engines, machinery and other valuable property. The report was like that ol a cannon and the earth was shaken for a great distance. Had tbfe accident happened a minute later fifty lives would have been endangered. The loss is from $7,000 to $10,- 000. One hundred men are thrown out of employment. A short time afterward a fire, equally as mysterious in its origin, totally destroyod the plant of the A. G. Jackson Hardware company, with a loss of $30,000. "I explained, through Emin Pasha, the object of my expedition, and offered them a promise, written in Arabic, to wait a reasonable time for (hem to join mo. The deputation replied that my offer was satisfactory. They said that they would proceed directly to Wadelai and proclaim it, and commence the work of transportation. The deputation started for Wadelai on the 26th. Emin returned on the 27th with his little daughter Ferida and a caravan of 144 men. He and I agreed that twenty days was a reasonable time.

Only Two Failed. Within the past year 41 banks went into voluntarj' liquidation and only two failed, leaving the net additions to the system 168, as against 90 last year and 123, the annual average increase since the inauguration of the system. Notwithstanding this gratifying increase investigation of the facts demonstrates that the system has not kept pace with the necessities of the people for increased banking facilities. Tliis is evidenced by the marked increase in percentage of state banks organized the last five years as compared with the percentage of the five years immediately preceding. Gen. R. A. Alger, of Michigan, has been chosen a director of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company vice ex-Governor John C. Brown, of Tennessee, deceased. Ex-Senator T. C. Piatt, of New York, is president of the company. Kunce'fl Mustache May Save Him. Following Mertes some show of attention to the interests of Suspect Kunze was made by Attorney Donohue by the calling of a former employer of the little German to the stand. J. W. Fralich, a painter, swore that Kunze, under the name of John Krogel, worked for him from April 26 to June 29; that he attended to his duties on May 4, working from 8 a. m. to 5 p. m., and that he reappeared promptly on the following Monday and discharged his duties as usual.

Her daughter, Miss Jane Francis Pendleton, was seriously injured, but recovered. "Did he have a mustache then?" asked Attorney Donohue. Norwalk, Conn., Nov. 26.—At Wilton Mrs. Dr. Turner and daughter were assaulted by Carl Anderson, a Swede, employed by them on the farm. Anderson, who was intoxicated, seized a chair and attacked both women. Their screams aroused Mr. Lott, an aged neighbor, who went to their assistance, when Anderson knocked him down and then made his escape. Mr. Lott retired to his room and was in the morning found dead in bed with a bottle of laudanum on a chair near the bed. Whether he died from the injuries inflicted by Anderson or from an overdose of laudanum taken to relieve pain i8 not yet known. The women are quite badly hurt and vigorous search is being made for Anderson. A Bad Man with a Chair.

The Belfast New* I setter has fully apologized for libeling Mr. Sexton and has paid £500 damages. uYes; just about the size it is now," replied the witness. Stanley then bitterly complains of the immense loads of property the refugees brought in, entailing endless work upon his men to bring to the plateau, and which was practically rubbish, because it must be abandoned on tho march. On March 1 ho ordered that thestuff be stopped from being brought to camp. Thirteen hundred and sixty-live loads had already been brought in. A month after Selim's departure a letter arrived from him announcing that rebels, officers and everybody, were unanimous to depart for Egypt under Stanley's escort. This is considered an important point by the defense, as Mortes and others who swore to seeing Kunze about that time declared that he had no mustache, or at least a very small one. Gloversville, N. Y., has about 14,000 population, and a meeting has been called to consider the revising of its charter preliminary to becoming a city. Mr. Pendleton was fluently familiar with French and German as well as a thorough classical scholar. His literary style was of tho purest order, and his powers as a public speaker were very great. During several y» ars subsequent to 1809 he was president of the Kentucky Central Pwailroad company. During the past two years he has been much of the time ill, and in April, 1888, he suffered from an attack of apoplexy, which threatened speedy death, but from which he partially recovered. • During the last fiscal year 10,136,140 money orders wore issued in the United States, amounting to $115,OS1,845.79, and 6,802,720 postal notes, amounting to $ 12,002,190.13. Attacking Carlson's Testimony. The next attack was made on old man Carlson's testimony about a conversation between Burke and O'Sullivan on the afternoon of March 19, after Burke —or, as he was known then, Williams—had concluded the negotiations for the lease of the cottage. Carlson swore that Burke went at once to O'Sullivan, who was standing at the allay, and said: "I have got the cottage." Carlson was very positive about having heard that remark, and, implying as it did that O'Sullivan was fully cognizant of the early plans of the conspiracy, was an exceedingly damaging bit of evidence against the iceman. The Work of Tramps. It is demonstrated through tables prepared by tho government actuary that there is an actual loss resulting to national banks by reason of their boing obliged to deposit bonds and take out circulation wherever the current rate of interest is greater than 4.76 per cent. As the prevailing rate in all of the states west of tlie Alleghanies is in excess of that named, it follows that in the greater number of states and those increasing most rapidly in wealth and population the enforced deposit of* bonds to secure circulation is an impediment -in the way of organization of new banks, and has a tendency directly to diminish the volume of currency issued by the banks already in existence. In confirmation of the statements made, attention is called to tho fact that the gross decrease of national bank circulation during the report year was $37,- 480,139, and that tho deposits of bonds of tho new banks organized during tho year were only $11,300 in excess of the minimum requirements.Tlio IJai.kH L.oso Money The salary of Mayor Chapin, of Brooklyn, has been rai.ted from $6,00J to $10,000 per annum.

Philadelphia, Nov. 26.—Isadore H.Sultzbach, the clothing dealer at Thirteent h street and Ridge avenues, has made a general assignment for the benefit of creditors to Simon Bacharach, of the firm of A. Bacliarach & Co. The liabilities are estimated at $225,000, and the assets comprise the stock in' the large store and the ground and bui!ding. The store property is mortgaged for $06,000. Of the estimated liabilities $100,000 is owed in New York and $125,000 to Philadelphia creditors. The assignee said that he did not know how much the assigned estate would realize, but it would bo but a fraction of the indebtedness, and that there was no chance to pull through. Train Robbers Refuse to Take an Express U known. Sedalia, Mo., Nov. 26.—Oscar Johnson, the express messenger whoso car was robbed at Prior creek, twenty-five miles south of Vinita, I. T., tells the following story: "When the train stopped at the water tank near that station a gang of men of not loss than five boarded the train. Two of them took possession of the engine, while another cut the mail, baggage and express cars off from the remainder of the train. A shot alarmed Johnson, who was secreting valuable packages. By the time the highwaymen were ready to enter his car he had all but $1,000 stored away in various parts of tho car. At the point of a pistol Johnson opened the company's safe, and the robbers secured the $1,000 found there. Then they opened his train box, and, seeing a small amount of money, asked whose it was. 'That's part of my salary,' replied Johnson. The robbers left it, telling him they were not robbing train mou. Johnson told them that was all the money and they left the car."

On the cross-examination by the state's attorney, the testimony of the witness was somewhat shakab in regard to the exact date.

Bankers Joseph Susskind aud Herman Cohen, of Canal street, New York, have disappeared. The bank is closed aud many Polish and Russian depositors have lost their money.

In reply to Emin's question I said we could certainly, in our conscience, acquit him of having abandoned the people if they had not arrived.

Providence, Nov. 26. —At the state prison Philip Lacoste, aged 83, was fatally stabbed by John McCarthy, aged 19. The victim was bending over a pile of leather, from which he was cutting shoe soles, when Mc- Carthy stepped behind him, thrust a keen shoe knife into the left side of his neck and made a deep cut across the back of the neck and around under the right ear. As Lacoste sank to the floor McCarthy inflicted eight other serious cuts on the head, shoulders and left arm. Lacoste is rapidly sinking. Mc- Carthy has been chained and placed in the dark cell. He gives no reason for the assault.Oue Convict Stabn Another. Th$ reduction of the duty on circulation is commended upon the ground that the present tax is unjust to banks, because it is imposed on account of u privilege now valueless, and the revenues of tho government are in excess of its requirements.

Detective Crow then swore to having held a conversation with Milkman Mertes on the day after the post mortem examination of Dr. Cronin's body, and during that conversation Mertes told him that he did not remember the night that he -eaw two men drive up to the Carlson cottage; one of them, the ono who Mertes on the stand swore was Coughlin, went into the cottage, and the other whom he on the stand identified as Kunze, drove away. Inasmuch, however, that Mertes also swore on the stand that he at first did not recollect the date, but fixed it definitely later when talking it over with his wife, the testimony of Crow can have little effect. "The natives showed no disposition to part. On April 5," he continues, "Emin informed me that but few of his servant* would go. Here was a disappointment.

Many of thein have waited ten or fifteen Christmases for it. There are 600,000 unadjusted claims on file in the pension office. Congress has promised to break the deadlock and let them fly. It can easily do so by codifying the laws, striking out all the technicalities that hinder and delay the consideration of our long delayed pensions. Let it cut the red tape and tho boys will bless it. Every pension means from £100 to $ 1,000 for some poor soldier's family. What a nice Christmas gift it would be!

Egyptians tried to steal the rifles of the Zanzibaris, and the number of malcontents kept increasing. Emin also had received news of a bad state of things at Wadelai. Therefore, I decided upon immediate action. I formed a square of rifles and assembled all the pusha's people within it.
