i
LACK OF EEADY CASH
Compels the American National Bank
of Kansas City to Suspend.
IH CHAEGE OF THE EXAMINEE.
Its -Troubles Cause a Heavy Eun Upon a
Savings Bank.
lATTER'S DEPOSITOKS EiPIDLI PAID
Kansas City, Jan. 19. The American
National Bank of this city was taken in
charge this morning by F. F. Marshall,
National Bank Examiner for the State of
Missouri.
The capital stock of the bank is $1,250,
000. No statement of liabilities or assets
can be obtained. Examiner Marshall said
this morninp: "There is absolately noth
ing to Bay except that the bank is in my
charge."
During the early part of last week it be
came known to the members of the Kansas
City Clearing House Association that the
American National Bank was in need ot
assistance. A meeting; of the association
was called, at which a resolution was
adopted assuring the American National
Bank that, upon a proper showing, assist
ance would be rendered to the amount of
$1,000,000 or more. A committee consisting
of Messrs. AVhitten McDonald, President o:
the Midland National Bank; Dr. W. S.
'Woods, President of the National Bank of
Commerce, and P. P. Neal, President o the
Union National Bank, were appointed to be
in readiness to act for the Association.
The Collaterals Not Sufficient.
Friday evening H. P. Stimpson, Presi
dent of the American National Bank, re
quested a conlerence with the committee.
The conference resulted in a recommenda
tion that the association render the
American National Bank assistance. At a
meeting of the Clearing House Association
on Saturday evening the committee was in
structed to examine the security offered by
the American National Bank and ascertain
the amount of money needed. Yesterday
the committee, calling to its assistance
National Bank Examiner Marshall, ex
amined the collaterals offered as securities
lor 1,000,000 or more, which the association
agreed to loan.
The committee reported to a meeting of
the association last night that the collaterals
offered by the American National Vere not
such as the banks of the association would
accept. This decision made the failure of
the bank inevitable, and the National Bans:
Examiner thereupon assumed charge of the
bank's affairs.
Uneasiness Anions the Banks.
As a result of tlie failure of the Ameri
can National Bank to-day a great deal of
uneasiness has been created among the
depositors oi the Kansas City Safe and
Savings Deposit Bank which is in the same
building with the American National Bank
and is supposed by many to be connected
with it, and there is a tiemendons run on
that institution. The sidewalk is blocked
find the doors of the bank are crowded with
depositors anxious to recover their hard
earned savings.
The bank is paving all depositors
promptly, and the officials claim that they
can meet all obligations. The bank is in no
way connected with the American National,
It is the largest savings bank in the Slate,
and the officers are the most carefnl and con
servative business men of the city. Later
on the run ceased.
The deposits of the American National
Bank are about 51,200,000. Since Oc
tober 1 last the deposits have decreased
Irom over $4,000,000 to the present
amount. It is ascertained that the banfc
owes over 5800,000 borrowed money. A gen
tleman who is in a position to know the con
dition of the other national banks of this
city, says this morning that they are in an
unusually good condition, and would not be
materially affected bv the failure.
Uluch Surprise in New York.
The announcement in New York to
day that the American National
back of Kansas City had been taken in
charge by the bank examiner caused a de
cided surprise in banking and financial cir
cles here as the bant was considered sol
vent. President Williams of the Chemical
bank, one of the correspondents here of the
American National Bank said that his bank
was abundantly secured against any loss.
At the Seaboard National Bank aiid the
United fetates National Bank the other two
correspondents here of the American
National Bank it was said that the Kansas
bank did not oue them money.
A dispatch from Washington says that
Controller Lacev expresses the opinion
that the bank's liabilities excted $1,000,000,
which is 250,000 less than its capital siock.
IOUISIAEA LOTTERY CASIS.
The Whole 3Iatter to Go to the State Su
prcino Court for Settlement.
Baton Eouge, Jan. 19. Mandamus
proceedings were brought some time since
before Judge Buckner's court by John A.
Morris to compel the Secretary of State to
officially promulgate the lottery amendments
passed by the last session of the Legislature.
The case was tried last Friday and Saturday
week. Much testimony was taken to show
that the amendment had been properly
passed.
The case was submitted without argu
ment and each side submitted authorities,
the understanding being that the matter
would go finally to the Supreme Court of the
State, no matter what might be the decision
of the lower court. Judge Buckner this
morning handed down the decision in the
c-ise. It reads "Mandamus refused." John
A. Morris' attorneys will now appeal to the
Sanreme Court, which will finally settle the
matter.
KO AIE ET THE CONDUIT,
What Caused the ratal Explosion in
Chicago Last Saturday.
Chicago, Jan. 19. At the Coroner's in
quest to-day into the deatn of Emily Eoss,
who was killed on Saturday alternoon as
the result of an explosion of gas in a man
hole, it was developed that the conduits in
the section of the city where the explosion
occurred are not ventilated. The conduits
further north are ventilated and no explosion
has ever occurred in them.
City Electrician Barrett said the city had
sought to ventilate the other section, but the
citizens in the neighborhood Interfered, and
it was abandoned. It appeared that illumi
nating gas had escaped into the conduit,
and that the explosion proceeded from a
light in the possession of men engaged in
stopping a gas leak nearby.
GOOD EFFECTS OF DISCIPLINE.
Teachers In a' St Louis School Have Cool
Heads During a Fire.
St. Louis, Jan. 19. The cool-headed-ness
and presence of mind displayed by the
teachers ot Shaw School to-day averted what
would otherwise have developed into a
panic, attended with loss of life, among the
pupils.
About noon fire was discovered in the
basement by the janitor, who immediately
gave the alarm. The children became
greatly excited, but under the excellent
1'i.inagement of the principal, Mrs. Nauro,
Mere all gotten out safely. Pecuniary loss
v. ill be only $3,000.
TESTING THE TAELFF ACT.
St. Louis Merchant! File Suits in the United
States Court,
St. Louis, Jan. 19. Several St. Louis
importers through their agent, Wym in &
Co., have filed suit against the United
Suites Government to test the costitntional
ity of the McKinley law. These firms bought
goods in Europe since the passage of the
'McKinley bill which went into effect Octo
ber 1 and was assessed the duty on them
when they were taken out of bond. They
paid the excess duty under protest to the
board of appraisers in New York city. The
board decides that the duty imposed was
properly assessed under the tariff act known
as the McKinley bill.
There will be no defendant in the case and
it will be filed as "in the matter of Charles
Wyman & Co., and the Board of Apprais
ers." The law will be attacked from several
points.lt will be claimed that it is unconsti
tutional for the reason that the bill passed
by the Senate was not the same bill signed
by the president as it was proven that
through a clerical error an entire section
was left ont. Other equally important
points will be made to prove the bill uncon
stitutional. These suits are almost similar
to those entered by Chicago and Cincinnati
importers.
NO SIGNS OF WEAKENING.

BELIEVEES IN ITS STRENGTH.
Another Well Struck. Which at the First
Jump Gives Up Forty Barrels an Hoar
Other Wells That Are Holding Their
Own Nicely.
"Wildwood The oil market's most re
lentless oppressor shows no signs of weaken
ing. On the other hand, it threatens to be
even more tyrannical. To-day it dealt an
other blow with such force as must convince
those who have hoped for better times that
such a boom is still in the gloaming.
There may be, and no doubt are other
causes to which can be attributed much of
the blame for no more -rapid advance in
values, but this seeming endless lake of oil
is more responsible than any other cause. It
was hoped by the majority that the limits of
this field bad been defined, but the develop
ments of yesterday show that the hope was
vain and the depressing effects are to be felt
for a longer period.
At 10 o'clock yesterday morning the drill
broke through the shell in the Gufiey &
Queene and Forest Oil Company No. 1, in
the Bunge farm. The well made a 25 bar
rel flow and then they changed bits and with
a few mere strokes tne fluid came gushing
forth at the rate of 40 barrels an hour, and
was maintai ing that gait last evening
without having been drilled deeper. This
well is located 500 leet in advance of the
Eingheisen on a 45 line, and indicates a
further extention of this prolific lead. The
well will be fully twice as much per hour
when drilled deener.
Greenlee & Forst reached the sand in
their No. 1 McGeagh six acres last evening,
buc the strong flow of gas necessitated their
shutting down till morning, they not wish
ing to take the chances of drilling it in at
night. No. 2, on the same lot, and 300 feet
to the west, will be in to-day, and its loca
tion would indicate that it will be large.
With the completion of these three wells
all interest is now centered in "the front"
on the Kohlber, Keil, Marks, Kretzer and
Heidlehurg farms.
It will be several weeks before the result
of the wells drilling on these farms will be
determined. There must be a jumping off
place somewhere, but whether it is with the
wells on the tarms just mentioned remains
to be seen. To the northeast there are several
important wells claiming the attention of
those interested in that part of the field.
The well on the P. & W. lot was drilled
deeper to-day, but owing to the stroDg flow
of gas the work progressed slowly.
They had not completed pulling the cas
ing at the Bowman gasser and could not
start the drill. It is possible they will not
be able to do so till to-morrow.
On the Barr farm, Christie & Co. have a
well of some magnitude. It is claimed the
oii was lound in the 100- oot, and, if
so, it is a new feature in this territory. Tbe
Griffith & Co. well on the Hill (arm is re
ported making 15 barrels from tbe 30-foot.
Failed to Connect.
McCubdy There are many anxious in
quiries made as to bow matters are pro
gressing in the McCurdy field. The Cap
tain Grace well on tbe Hinton farm was ex
pected in last week, but failed to connect.
The well was reported in the sand Sunday,
hut a gentleman talked with one of the men
drilling on the well, and he stated they were
30 feet above the sand. Il that is true the
well will not reach the sand till some time
to-day.
On the Davidson Farm.
Callebt The Young well on the town
lot north of the Guckert & Co. No. 2, on
the Davidson farm, is in and flowing 50
birrels an hour. This well is located only
150 feet south of the Geohring well, on the
Irwin lot, and shows that there is a very
narrow but rich pay streak extending to the
northeast from the wells on the Cashdollar
farm. The Guckert No. 2 will make a 50
barrel well. They will put in the tubing
to-day. H. McC.
A FAMILY POISONED.
Coffee Loaded With Arsenic Ellis a Man
and Wile.
IFrECIAL TELEORAM TO TBE DISPATCH.'
Lexington, Ky., Jan. 19. A whole
colored family was poisoned here this morn
ing by having arsenic put in tbe coffee for
breakfast. Peter White, his wife and his
uncle and aunt, Daniel Frazier and wife,
drank heartily of the coffee, save Mrs.
White, who, being quite sick, only took a
few swallows of tbe poisoned fluid. Imme
diately after breakfast all four of the per
sons named were taken with violent pains
in their stomachs, and the physician, who
wac qnickly summoned, pronounced it ar
senical poisoning. Powerful antidotes were
administered, but Frazier soon died, and
this alternoon his wife expired after much
suffering.
White is now lying at the point of death,
and will probably die before morning. His
wife may recover. Lily White, the 17-year-old
daughter of Peter, has been arrested,
charged with the crime. Her father whipped
her last night because she stayed away too
much at nights. She denies administering
the poison.

A Dishonest Banker Arrested While on a
Trip From Canada.
rsFECIAX. TELEGEAM TO THE DISPATCH.1
Syracuse, Jan. 19 On Saturday, Sheriff
H. G. Borthwick, of Cortland, arrested Eu
gene Hemingway. He was taken to Whit
ney's point for examination. Hemingway
was a resident of Whitney's Point up to last
October, doing a banking business. It is
alleged that he borrowed between $60,000
and $75,000 and left for Canada, where he
lived until Friday, when he started for a
visit to his old home. He arrived at Cort
landt on the 9:48 A. M. train, and made ar
rangements with tbe Syracuse and Bing
hamton Kailroad to stop their train that
leaves Cortlaudt at 10:09 p. m. Saturday
night at Whitney's Point, and to stop the
early morning train going north.
This would enable him to visit his. sick
daughter, who is expected to livebnt a short
time, but he was arrested while visiting his
sister-in-law, Mrs. Lovell, in Cortlandt.

PECULIAR OLD WILL.
An Inquiry From an Indiana Lawyer
Unearths a Curiosity.
CLAIMS TO A PART OP PITTSBDEQ
Hade by the Heirs of a Man Who Died
Early in the Century.
M0NEI FOE SNUFF AND A DOCTOR'S BILL
, Another man bobs up with a claim to a
few hundred acres of land in the heart of
Pittsburg.
Register Conner yesterday received a let
ter from J. G. Evans, oi Covington, Ind.,
inquiring for information concerning the
estate of John Bardon. Evans is attorney
for one of the heirs of Bardon. He states
that Bardon settled in Pennsylvania in
1808 or 1809, and took a claim of 160 or 320
acres of land on what is tbe present site of
Pittsburg. After buildings house, clearing
20 acres and making other improvements he
moved to Kentucky. He rented his place In
Pennsylvania, and left it in the hands ot a law
yer to look alter. The tenant twice tried to
hold the land against Bardon, but the lawyer
defeated Him. About this time Bardon died,
probably intestate, and his heirs were "scat
tered to the four winds," and no claim has been
made to the estate. Rardon's lawyer's name
was Uarnaga. Tbe writer wants to know the
present extent and condition of tbe estate.
Mr. Conner was not Register In 1S0S or 1809
and conld not remember anything about Mr.
Bardon, but he made a i-earch of the will boots,
bringing to lieht a curions old document. It
was tbe will of John Itardon, dated March 16.
18C6, and was the only instrument that indi
cated any information concerning the man
asked about. The will is as follow s:
"I. John Itardon. being in a low state of
health, lint sound iu mind and judgment, doth
make this my last will and testament, which
shall be as follows:
"Unto my good and loving friend John
Witheroe, I do leave and bequeath all my
worldly property, such as houses, lands, move
ables, eta, and all things that 1 have any prop

Witheroe my whole and sole heir and to bim

and turned me out from among them and

gratitude I leave and bequeath to them as fol
lows: To my son, Thomas Bardon, I do leave
1 penny to buy snutf." Continuing, he gave to
eacn oi nis cnuaren, Jonn, William, Moses.
Timothy, Jacob and Nellie, 1 penny. He said
further: "To Anne, my housekeeper, as she

THEY ARE THEPE0PLE.
How Can Anyone Doubt ,lt When
Thousands Are -Testifying
New Ones Being Added
Each Week.
EVERYBODY KNOWS IT-
There is no longer any doubt in the public
mind but that Drs. Copeland & Blair are the
most successful specialists in their line to-day.
Ho ir hai this been brought about? By the
very word of the public themselves. Thousands
of witnesses have testified to it and new ones
are adding their evidence each week volun
tarily through the medium of the public press.
This week two esteemed and well-known gen
tlemen of this city, each make a positive asser
tion. "air. Thomas ilaybury. of 218 Thirty-ninth
street, a forger in the employ of the Carnegie
Iron Works, says: "Ever since I recovered
from an attack of typhoid fever, about 13 years
ago, I have noticed more or less catarrhal
trouble, but in tbe jlast year or so it became
very much aggravated and I suffered almost
constantly.
Mr. Thomas Haybury, No. SIS Thirty-ninth
street. ,
"My head and nose would be stopped up. I
had very severe headaches, not merely a dull
ache, but sharp terrible nains through my tem
ples and in tbe back of mvhead that would al
most set me frantic Buzzing and roariag
noises in my ears continually. My hearing be
came very much impaired. I conld feel tbe
mucus dropping back into ray throat, which
kept me hawking and raising to clear it. Sharp
pains would take me in tbe chest and region of
the heart, shooting through under the shoulder
blades. I had a severe cough, which annoved
me very much, raising quantities of mucus.
Night sweats set in and literally pulled my
strength from me. Myappetitebecameaffected.
Nothing I could eat seemed to agree with me
No matter how carefully or sparingly I ate I
would almost invariably suffer a miserable
feeling of distress and nausea at toy stomach,
even tbe outside becoming sore and tender to
th6 touch. MysleeD was restless and broken. I
would get up mornings actually more tired and
worn out than the night before. My work was
a drag and my life a positive burden.
"I was in this condition when I first called on
Drs. Copeland and Blair, after reading so
much of their notable work. After examina
tion, feeling that they thoroughly understood
my case and. finding tbeir charges so very
reasonable, I decided to Dlace myself under
their care, I don't believe I ever made a better
resolution in my life," concludes Mr. May
bury: "I improved almost from tbe start under
their treatment. My symptoms gradually dis
appeared, until now I am like a different per
son from what I was when I went to them. I
am 100 per cent a better man than I have been
for years."
A RARE CASE
In Illustration of How Catarrh May Affect the
Very Center of Life The Human Heart
Still Another Indorsement of Drs. Cope,
land & Blair.
Mr. Wm. McDonougb. of No. 2 Moultrie
street (Soho), city, sajs: T suffered constantly
for about three years, aud did not know what
the trouble really was. My principal symp
toms were a depressed, heavy feeling in chest
with occasional sharp pains. Although my ap
petite was good, I suffered a misery and sick
feeling at my stomach after eating. I slept
soundly, but would get up in the morning all
uorn out. My , greatest trouble, however,
seemed to be witn my heart. There was a
tight, compressed feeling there. For a time
my heart would beat lapidly and so hard I
would think it would nearly burst. The palpi
tation would be followed by a slow, irregular
beating and a feeling of faintness. I went to
Dr3. Copeland S; Blair. They tola me my trou
ble came from catarrh ot the stomach. I be
gan their treatment. To-dav my symptoms
have disappeared and I am well."

AJAX ENGINES AND G0RRY
BOILERS.
We have made and sold the
following "Ajax" engines in
1890:
Number of 8x12, 477
Number of 9x12, 530
Number of 10x12, .... 169
Numbe of iojxi2, . 76
Number of 11X12,.... 80
Total, I332
If anything was needed to
prove this machinery to be the
oil man's favorite and the best
in the oil field, these figures are
all that is necessary. We sold
nearly 400 Corry boilers in the
same time, making over 1,600
pieces as the .year's output.
The "Ajax" erlgine is the
strongest, quickest and most
economical engine ever built,
and the Corry boiler is the
largest, strongest, best con
structed and most economical
boiler in the field. We now
have a large stock of all sizes
of engines and boilers, together
with engine and boiler parts
and fittings in warehouse in
Pittsburg, and can supply that
vicinity and the southwest more
promptly than any other manu
facturer. My Pittsburg office
is 421 and 422 Bissell Block,
and after office hours you can
find me at the Seventh Avenue

Which the Randall Club members wore on their trip to Harrisburg?
They were furnished by KAUFMANNS, of course. Other houses
tried to get the order, but KAUFMANNS' price was the lowest,
hence they secured the contract. It's hardly necessary to say that
KAUFMANNS are headquarters for the celebrated Mackintoshes
and other Rubber Coats. ,
KAUFMANNS'
