the claim that the Capital delegation
would be 'Split even." The Governor
captured 22 out of the 25 delegates and
four or five counties in the State also elected

strong Democratic county of Tuscarawas,
in which bold claims were made by the Neat
men.
John It. McLean formally' announces this
morning that he is not nor does he expect to

that all who insist upon saying so are

However, the Governor is pugnacious and

rSPKCIAL TELKQRAM TO THE DISrATCIt.1
Topeka, June 14. The people of Kan
sas will witness demonstrations in every
county of the State on the Fourth of July
never before heard of in any State of the
Union. On that occasion a day set apart
for the people to get together in their sev
eral communities and celebrate the birth of
American Independence the Farmers'
Alliance and kindred organizations
have arranged to hold county mass
meetings for the purpose of ratify
ing the action of" the Cincinnati
convention, in giving birth to the new polit
ical party. In every sub-Alliance in the
State the matter is being discussed and ar
rangement are being made. The ordinary
Fourth of July exercises are to be tabooed,
and the natal day is to be desecrated by the
1'effers, the Jerry Simpsons, Mrs. Leases
and others with political speeches and ca
lamity harangues. ProcessionB are to form
in the principal towns and march to some
grove, w ith the usual brass band accom
paniment. Mottoes, describing the down
trodden condition of the farming and labor
ing classes, will be displayed, and the
speeches are to be devoted to the denuncia
tion of the General Government and of all
in official life.
The present Farmers' Alliance uprising
is to be contrasted with the struggle for
national independence in 1776. Then the
heel of despotism was on the neck of the
Pilgrim fathers; now the heel of oppression
the money iower of Wall street is
crushing the life out of the wage-earners and
agriculturists of the country. Thev will
show that as the people rose up in their
might in I860 and strangled slavery, they
w ill rise up nex year and strangle the men
and influences which are fastening a worse
slavery upon the country, through the
bankers of "Wall street.
On the other hand, tha loyal, patriotic
people of Kansas, who are opposed to the
desecration of this national holiday by the
advocates of a political party, are fully
aroused and are endeavoring to break the
force of the movement. Democrats and Re
publicans are meeting in many of the coun
ties and are arranging for counter-attractions
in the shape of old-fashioned Fourth
of July celebrations, and many able orators
from other States will be brought here to
address the people.
At El Dorado, the county seat of Butler
county, where the Alliance is strong, a
great effort will be made by the new Peo
ple's party advocates, with ex-Senator John
J. Ingalls as their orator. As an offset,
however, the Republicans are arranging for
a grand celebration in a neighboring grove,
with Senator P. P.. Plumb as the orator of
the day. In dozens of other counties simi
lar meetings will be held on the Fourth of
July. Xot only have the Alliance orators
been preparing a scries, of set speeches for
this occasion, but the leaders have been ar
ranging a new hymnal for campaign pur
poses next year. Many patriotic songs
have been paraphrased, and words suited to
the Alliance howl have been substituted.
EITHER CLEVELAND OB GOEMAN.
"The Result of a Consultation of Statesmen
"With the Ex-President.
Xew Yobk, June 14. Before leaving for
his summer vacation, according to the Pres
of this city, ex-President Cleveland sug
gested that a consultation be held, and to it
he invited not only those who were promi
nently associated with him while he was
President, buf one or two others who did
did not sustain intimate relations with him
then. It was desired that this consultation
should be secret Among those who ac
cepted the ex-President's invitation were
Senator Gorman, Senator-elect Vilas, Don
5L Dickinson, Senator Brice, J. J. Bell,
William C Whitney and Dan Lamont.
Mr. Cleveland was very frank with the
gentlemen, and stated that he desired to
know first of all whether it was.their opin
ion that the Democratic party wished to
have him become its standard bearer again.
If that was the wish he would cheerfullv
acceed. He also wanted to know whether
the disaffection which has cropped out in
certain quarters indicated any serious oppo
sition. If that were the case, he would not
be a candidate. The situation was gone
over very thoroughly. The conference,
which was protracted until a late hour,
and was in fact renewed the next
day, resulted in this determination: Messrs.
Gorman, Dickinson, Yilas, Brice and J. J.
Bell, of Minnesota, agreed formally that
they would at once begin the canvass for
the renomination of Grover Cleveland; that
they would take him into the convention;
that they would make an earnest, honest
effort, before and daring the convention, to
secure his nomination, and that if they saw
in the convention, or before, that his candi
dacy would not be successful or could only
be consummated after a struggle which
would leave wounds hard to heal, then they
would withdraw him. It was also agreed
that in case Mr. Cleveland must be with
drawn that then his old friends are to unite
in securing the nomination of Senator Gor
man. THE IDEAS OF EDMUNDS.
Blaine Could Be Elected, but Harrison Al
most Sure to Be Nominated.
Xashyiixe, June 14. Senator Edmunds
was interviewed on his Southern trip and
asked if he thought Harrison would be
nominated. He replied:
"Yes, it looks so he wants it. He has
recently made a tour of the South and West
and lias returned to Washington. He was
well received and created in some places
sonic enthusiasm, jiinl much to the surprise
of his fricmU, :.a well as his politi
cal enemies, on his tour he made a
number of good speeches. Blaine could get
the nomination if "he wanted it he could
have had it before when Harrison was
nominated. Yes, he could get it now. I
know Blaine well. Blaine is a sick man.
"What he wants most is health. He has got
Bright's disease that's his trouule. His
health is wretched. He realizes his condi
tion, and is taking no active part in politics,
nor is he likely to." Since ne has been in
Harrison's Cabinet he has devoted his time
and attention only to the duties of the Cabi
net office. The reciprocity treaty is
Blaine's work, and whatever others
may claim the credit must "be given
to whom It belongs, and that is to
Blaine. Blaine is one of the strongest men
of the Republican party, and if his health
would permit him to enter the canvass and
he was the nominee of the Republican party
he could be elected."
"Don't you think Harrison would be?"
But at this point the Senator looked out
of the window and said:
"Is not that abeautiful view over there?"
and the answer never came.
VIST IS FOE CLEVELAND.
The Senator Says the Ex-President Will Be
Nominated by the Democrats.
St. Louis, June 14. Senator Vest, on
being asked what he thought of Cleveland,
replied:
"What I have always thought that he is
a brave, honest man, but as wrong on the
silver question as it is possible for any man
to be."
"Are you against Mr. Cleveland, then,
for President?"
"I haven't said that. I am against the
Republican party, and I think its success
the greatest mistake that can come to the
country. Mr. Cleveland will be nominated,
and I am for him as against any Republican
or Third party candidate.
"How about the charge that the Demo
cratic Senators are working against Cleve
land?'; "It is false, and every Democrat who re
peats it is helping the Republicans. Of
course, the enemy wants all the internal
dissensions and 'distrust in our ranks that
are possible, but the Democrat who falls
into the trap is not intelligent. There is
some feeling among Democratic Senators as
to Cleveland's silver letter. In mv opinion
our ticket will be Cleveland and Gray, and
the Republicans will nominate Harrison
and Morton."

TSFECIAL TELEOBAJt TO THE DISPATCn.
New York, June 14. The-troubles in the
Reformed Presbyterian, or Covenanter,
Church were aired in several of the pulpits
of the Reformed churches in this city to-day.
The Rev. Mr. Milligan, who was one of the
four ministers libeled at the Synod meeting
in Pittsburg last week, preached in his
church, the First Reformed, this morning,
and in the evening stated his case to his con
gregation, who are in full sympathy with
him in bjs liberal views. He did not make
anv comment on his opponents.
The Rev. Mr. S. M. Foster, of the Third
Reformed Church, who was unsuccessful in
his efforts to libel the Rev. Mr. Milligan
before the New York Presbytery a few
weeks ago, had a great deal to say this
morning about the wholesale defection
from the Church. The whole sum and sub
stance, he said, of the opposition of those
who had gone oat of the Church was their
belief that those who voted at elections
should be allowed to become members of
the Church. If they had renounced this
position, Mr. Foster said, they would have
been taken back.
"This fight against the stand the
Church has taken," said the preacher, "is
the old one of 1883 over again. Of the lour
libels that were issued by the Synod, two
of them were against the Rev. Mr. Milligan
and the Rev. J. F. Carson, of our own Pres
bytery. Thcywerelibeledfortheiradherenca
to the East End platform, and they must
stand trial or get out of the Church. The
Church has reaffirmed ita stand toward the
Government which rejects Christ. We feel
that we state what is true when we say that
the Synod is determined to stand by God's
truth and reject the Government which
does not give allegiance to God. Quite a
number will be lost to us in the excitement
of the present movement, but we still will
have a majority on the side of right. The
whole Synod is stronger to-day than ever
before, and nothing like a split is going to
come upon the Church."
Some of the friends of the seceders from
the Church have said that Mr. Foster's
church would not stand by him, but would
go over to the liberals. This was denied to
day by several members of the session of
the church, who say that they are in accord
with Mr. Foster's views on the doctrines of
the Church.

A Reformed Presbyterian Minister Resigns
and His Congregation Weeps.
rBFECIAL TELEGltAU TO THE DISPATCH.!
Baitimobe, June 14. The Rev. E. M.
Smith, pastor of the Reformed Presbyterian
Church, on Harfbrd avenue, resigned his
pastorate to-day, because of the action of
the Reformed Presbyterian Synod at Pitts
burg in turning down the young ministers
who exercised the right of franchise. Mr.
Smith told his congregation that he did not
consider himself a persecuted man, but that
he aid not agree with the doctrinal views of
the convention, and as an honest man he
must sever his connection with the church.
He also said that during the four years he
had been connected with the ministry he
did not believe in, but had hoped to be re
conciled to, the teachings of the Church. He
now proposes to enter the Presbyterian
Church, provided he is admitted. During
the sermon the members of the congregation
wept, the women especially sobbing audi

A Sioux Potrwow to Consider a Change of
Reservation Ends Happily.
Chambebt.ain, S. D., June 14. The
Indians on the Lower Brule reservation
held a grand powwow at the agency yester
day to decide upon matters relating to their
removal to their new reservation, in view
of the early expected visit of a Sioux Com
missioner to be sent here to aid in such re
moval. A very large element among tho
Indians present expressed a decided wish to
be allowed to settle south of White river on
the Rosebud reservation.
Indian Agent Dixon did all in his power
to argue them into concentrated action and
cheerful compliance with the wishes of the
Government with good effect. A number
of the leading chiefs advised harmonious
action. The many hundreds of Indians
present at the powwow left for their homes
in a very pleasant humor, their good feel
ing, no doubt, being materially augmented
by a liberal issue of rations.

Bkrke, June 14. A most horrible acci

Railway to-day through the collapse of a
bridge beneath a heavily-loaded excursion
train. The train was crowded with people
on the way to attend the musical fete.
Sixty persons were killed outright, while
hundreds were injured.
Two engines and the first car plunged
into the river and all the passengers in the
car were drowned. Two cars remained sus
pended from the bridge. All the trainmen
were killed. Thirteen cars were saved.
The musical fete at Muenchenstein was
abandoned as soon as the news of the acci
dent arrived, and hundreds of villagers hur
ried to the scene to assist in rescuing the
victims. Tlie bridge was an iron skeleton
structure, which was considered well built
and snbstantiaL The only apparent reason
for the collapse of the bridge is that the
train left the rails and threw its entire
weight on one side of the bridge. '
THE PRESIDENTS FAMILY ABROAD.
The Movements of Mrs. Harrison and Mrs.
MeKee in London.
Loudon, June 14. Some attempts have
been made by those evening papers which
delight in turning everything American
into ridicule to "hippodrome" the London
visit of Mrs. McKee and Mrs. Russell Har
rison. These papers seem to think it
funny to place two American ladies
on a private visit to the Ameri
can Minister in the same category
with the envoys from King Gungnnyana, or
the Indians who came here with the Wild
West show. The fact of the matter is that
neither Mrs. McKee nor Mrs. Harrison have
gone into public at all since their arrival.
They did not even go to Ascot; as had been
arranged, with Minister Lincoln, Mr.
Henry White, Mrs. and Miss Cam
eron and Miss Blaine, who were
all invited to luncheon as. special
guests by Lord Coventry. On Friday aft
ernoon Mrs. McKee and Mrs. Harrison
were present at Minister Lincoln's usual re
ception, where several people affiliated with
the American colony in London called
to see them. Both ladies hare been
invited to attend the State ball next
Wednesdav, which will give them their
first glimpse of swell London society. Mrs.
Mackay has arranged a dinner for them
later, specially to meet the Duke and
Duchess of Teck. After visiting Mrs.
Whitelaw Reid in Paris before she sails for
America, July 1, Mrs. McKee and Mrs. Har
rison will retnrn to London in time for the

THEOSOPHLSIS WANT A LEADER.
Seeking
Priestess to Succeed tho Late
Mine. Blavatsby.
London, June 14. The death of Madam
Blavatsky, the High Priestess of the Ori
ental Theosophical Buddhistic Cult, has in
volved a two-fold bereavement in that
occult body the removal of the highest
placed official of the entire organization,
nnd the Presidency of the British and Euro
pean section. This crisis has grven rise to
the creation of a consultative emergency
council to meet the difficulty.
Some dozen lodges of this council held a
meeting to-day, presided over by William
I. Judge, Vice President of the Theosophi
cal Society, and at which Dr. J. D. Buck,
of Cinoinnati, a member of the Council of
the American Section, was present. Mrs.
Annie Besant, President of Blavatsky
Lodge, expressed her opinion witl regard
to supplying the place of the late lamented
High Priestess, that a resolution be taken
to tlie effect that pending the arrival in this
country of the president and founder of the
Theosophical Society, Colonel Olcott, who
is expected here in July,the general secre
taries shall issue provisional charters and
diplomas.
PARNELL'S COMING MARRIAGE.
Obstacles, Legal and Otherwise, In the Wojv
of the Union.
London, Jnne 14. Intense curiosity pre
vails as to when Parnell proposes to marry
Mrs. U Shea, atumors continue to circu
late that he will not marry her at all; while,
on the other hand, there are equally confi
dent reports abroad that he has married her
already. Both stories are untrue. The
fact is that troublesome legal difficulties at
first cropped up.
When these were settled Parnell found
that the local clergyman bad objections to
raise also. Though these are believed to
be frivolous and only dictated by political
animus on the part of the clergyman, it has
taken some time to have them set aside.
An appeal has been sent to the Archbishop
of Canterbury. Many delays must be over
come before that appeal can be decided. It
is expected, however, that the wedding will
take place next week. When married, Par
nell intends to live the larger part of each
year at his ancestral home in County
Wicklow.

Fire Among Cotton In the Hold Acci

No Panic on Board.
Queekstown, June 14. The Cunard
Line steamer Servia, Captain Dutton,
which left New York June 6, arrived here
to-day. The Captain reports that at mid
night of Thursday last'he sighted the Inman
11m steamer City of Richmond, Captain
Hmford, from New York, June 3, bound for
this port and Liverpool. The latter vessel
was flying signals of distress, and the Servia
bore down to her.
The Captain of the City of Richmond re
ported that his cargo was on fire, and the
Servia stood by and steamed slowly by the
side of the City of Richmond until Brow
Head was sighted. Captain Redford re
ported that Tuesday night a lady cabin pas
senger, upon getting out of her berth, no
ticed that the floor of the stateroom was
vry hot. She immediately gave the alarm
to the engineers, who communicated with
the Captain, and on examination was quick
ly made. This resulted in the discovery
that smoke was issuing from the forehold,
and the smell indicated that the cotton in
the hold was on fire. Steam and water were
promptly injected into the hold, and it was
supposed for a time that the fire had been
extinguished.
At 9 o'clock Wednesday morning three
boles of cotton were found to be on fire, and
were taken from the hold and thrown over
board. In the meantime the British
steamer Counsellor, Captain Jones, of the
Harrison line, bound from New Orleans for
Liverpool, had appeared on the scene, and
on learning the condition of affairs stood by
the City of Richmond until the Servia
came up. The passengers behaved well
throughout.
It is believed the fire was completely sub
dued before the City of Richmond reached
Qaeenstown. The vessel proceeded for
Liverpool nnd appeared to be all right.

SISTEB ROSE GEBTBTOE'S VOWS.
Rumors That the Celebrated Leper Nurse
Will Become a Wife.
London, June 14. Many people in
London are very much excited over
the Teport that Sister Rose Gertrude, the
heroic woman who went to Molokai
to nurse the lepers, has married Dr. Lutz,
the renowned specialist in leprosy.
Whether the report is true or not, it is cer
tain there is nothing in her vows to prevent
such a marriage. Sister Rose Gertrude, be
fore leaving England, joined the Church of
Rome, and was received into the Third
Order of St. Dominic
This order is a branch of the Dominion
Order, in which the brothers and sisters
promise to live according to a certain rule
in the world, but take no vows whatever.
Its members aspire to a strict and holy pri
vate life in the state in which they find
themselves. They may be married or un
married, as they are in no way religious nor
bound as tertiaries by any religions vows.

DENIZENS OF DEATH VALLEY.
A Scientific Party Returns With Some Rare
Specimems of Mammals.
tBPBCTAL TKLIQKAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
Kekler, Cai, June 14. Ornithologist
C. H. Merriam has reached here from Death
Valley. He came by way of Utah, where
he found several rare specimens of mam
mals. At Pigeon Point he found 30 speci
mens of a very rare mouse, the species of
which is almost unknown, only one imper
fect specimen being found 40 years ago.
Signal Service Officer Clery, at Furnace
Creek, will probably receive an assistant, as
it is thought dangerous for a solitary man
to remain in the heart of Death Valley
through the summer.
Dr. Merriam and party will soon start for
the Sierra Nevada Mountains, where tem-
Sorary signal stations will be established to
etermine temperature and get altitude by
barometric observation. They expect to re
main in the Sierras until October.
SUCCESSFUL SKIN GRAFTING.
Nearly Two Hundred Men Contribute of
Their Anatomy to a Suffering Brother.
Kansas City, June 14. The successful
grafting of skin sufficient to patch up two
legs was completed here yesterday. A, year
ago A. C. Fulkerson stepped by mistake
into a vat of boiling grease. The flesh of
the legs from the knees down was cooked
away. The only method of repairing the
damage was by grafting skini from other
human beings upon the injured members.
One hundred and sixty persons, Odd Fel
lows and Knights of Pythias, of which or
ganizations Fulkerson was a member, con
tributed portions of their anatomy to be used
in piecing up Mr. Fulkerson's wounds. The
grafts were about 1,000 in number, and in
the majority of cases were successful Ful
kerson was out to-day, enjoying the use of
ooia iimos.

An Actor of the Jacobs Stock Company
Found Dead in Chicago.
Chicago, June 14. James Ij. Edwards,
a member of H. J. Jacobs' stock company,
now playing "The Ways of the World" at
Havlin's Theater, was found dead in his
room at the Hotel Beaumont about lo'olock
this morning. It is supposed he died from
an overdose of morphine.
The deceased was 38 years old and has a
wife living in New York. Members of the
Ways of the World Company say Edwards
was addicted to the use of the drug, and
sometimes took doses so large as to incapac

DELAY IS APPQINTING A EECHYER
Washington, Jnne lif After careful
preparation and after snbmission to his
superiors, the statement of Hon. E. S.
Lacey Controller of Currency, relative to
the downfall of the Keystone Bank, of
Philadelphia, has been made public by
Secretary of the Treasury, Foster, to whom
it is addressed. It is a voluminous docu
ment containing 9,000 words, and embodies
correspondence and papers bearing upon
the Quaker City's financial scandal.
The statement, which is in the form of a
communication to Secretary Foster, bears
date June 10, and runs substantially as fol
lows: I have tho honor to submit herewith a
statement of the facts leading up to the
final closing of the Keystone National Bank,
and the appointment of a receiver therefor.
The first Information received by me in ref
erence to what has been known as tho Lucas
defalcation wax contained in a communica
tion addressed to me by William P. Drew,
Bank Examiner for Philadelphia, dated Jan
uary 21, 1991, and received by me on the 26th
of the same month. The following is a copy
of that communication:
The First Official Knowledge.
"On entering on the examination of the
Keystone National Bank of this city on the
9th Inst., I was informed by the President
that there would be disclosed a hitherto ef
fectually concealed debt to the bank of its
late President, John C. Lucas, amounting to
$600,000. This confession has been fully veri
fied by subsequent developments made by
me in examining the bank.
"It appears that Mr. Lucas, during his
presidency of tho bank, had, with the con
nivance of the cashier, Marsh, now the Pres
ident of the bank, carried out by adroit
manipulation of the accounts of the bank
for a series of years, a acheme for systematic
abstraction from the bank of large sums to
assist his speculations in real estate at
Spring Lake and Sea Girt, X. J., as well as
In the construction of the large building on
Chestnut street here, now occupied in part
by the bank. The method of concealment
of this large diversion of tho bank's funds
seems to have been to charge the amounts
taken to the general account of deposits,
and so to alter individual balances on the:
ledgers as should make their aggregate
credits fit tho general account at the time
of examination. Sometimes the foreign:
bank balances were also "padded" to corre
spond to the deficit.
The Work of the 'Examiner.
"To protect the bank so far as possible, I
took measures to secure for the bank with
out publicity whatever property belonged
to the estate of Mr. Lucas, after a few days
I succeeded in obtaining the property used
by the bank as a banking house, for $225,000,
and the property at Spring Lake and Sea
Girt, N. J. In these endeavors I was as
sisted by Hon. John II. Read, United States
District Attorney, whom I employed to aid
in the transactions. There may be still
more property of the Lucas estate that can
be secured bnt it is too early to say posi
tively. "The discovery was renorted to the
Clearing House Committee "and its opinion
is, in view oi au ine iacis so lar Known,
that farther timo be allowed the directors
of the bank to raise some $300,000 to put into
the bank. This purpose Is in active course
of completion and it is hoped that by this
fresh supply of funds, with a radical
i-lmnge in the management of the bank soon
i be effected, the bank can be successfully
lehabilltated.
It appears that Sir. Marsh, , jt&tho
cashier of the bank, was at first Msuitly
led into the irregular transactfiTSSy the
'President, and that the latter, on his death
bed, exacted a promise from Mr. Marsh to
continue the deception under representa
tions that the money abstracted would soon
be returned to the bank from the results of
Mr. Lucas' enterprises. There does not ap
pear to be any evidence that Sir. Marsh
profited in the least by these irregularities."
Endeavoring to Avert a Panic
Accompanying this letter was a prelimin
ary statement of the Tesouroes and liabili
ties of the association, which, after consid
ering all probable losses, as stated by the
examiner, left tho capital stock of $500,000
Intact and in addition thereto a net surplus
of $55,819. Upon receipt of this report the
Controller was confronted with a grave re
sponsibility. Mr. Lacey's statement then re
verts to the financial stringency at many
points, and refers to calamitous results that'
mignt nave occurreu lmmeaiateiy upon tno
disclosure of the situation or the ousting of
President Marsh.
It was afterward represented to the Con
troller by Mr. Drew at this Interview that,
in his judgment and in the opinion of the
Clearing House committee, tbe property
conveyed to tho bank by tho Lucas estate
was equal in value to the indebtedness
which had been concealed, and that in any
event the creditors of the bank were entirely
safe.
It was, however, deemed necessary that
additional funds should be placed In the
bank, as Its reserve had been deficient for a
large part of the time since the run in De
cember, and, while the real estate conveyed
to the bank would ultimately produce a sum
equal to the debt which it was to liquidate,
that the cash of the bank needed to bo
promptly reinforced either by the sale of
real estate or reduction of its line of dis
counts. "
Seasons for Keeping It Open, im
It was, therefore, after very serious con
sideration deemed best for the bank, for its
creditors, for the other banking associations
and for the city of Philadelphia, whose
Treasurer had an active account in the bank,
that Mr. Drew should continue his examina
tion of tho bank and promptly place his as
sistant, Mr. Jones, in charge of the books,
with the understanding that the active di
rectors of the bank should visit it dally.
Under these conditions and for these rea
sons the Controller did not insist upon the
Immediate resignation of President Marsh,
although it was distinctly understood that
he was to remain there only so long as his
services wore absolutely necessary in ad
justing the irregularities which had grown
up under his management, and as he was,
since the death of Mr. Lucas, the only per
son living who was conversant with the op
erations which resulted so disastrously to
the hank.
The statement of Mr. Lacey then details Jn
extenso tho succeeding steps in the busi
ness. On January SO Mr. Drew telegraphed
that prospects were encouraging. On Feb
ruary 12 Sir. Lacey was in Philadelphia and
met leading directors of tho bank, and It
was agreed that the reserve of the bank
should be restored and maintained. The
Controller at this time urged upon Exam
iner Drew that the examination should be
completed at the earliest date possible in or
der that tho funds of the bank might be re
plenished by the payment of whatever sum
was necossary to make good its impairment
of capital.
levied an Assessment of 8250,000,
Having duly considered all tho itSX. .
stated in the report, says Mr. Lacey, it be
came apparent that an impairment of capital
existed to the extent tf at least $250,000,
whereupon, under date of March 7, 1 levied
an assessment of $250,000 upon tho association
to make good an impairment of capital to
that amount, under the provisions of section
5205 of tho revised statutes.
This assessment was levied under the
.A 1.1 .. ..!.. .aiIa T. .lift AHt.t t.A.
consisting of Messrs. Haines, Hughey and
Harsh, who visited me personally about a
day or two after tho receipt of tho formal
report that tho amount assessed would be
paid in one week at most, and that those ad
vancing the funds to make good the impair
ment or capital would wait for reimburse
ment until the full pro rata sums had been
collected from the stockholders of the bank.
On March 13 Mr. Lacey had not been ad
vised of payment of tho assessment and on
that date wrote Drew asking what had been
done and asking full information. On the
14th of March Mr. Drew replies, saying:
''Beyond expressing a purpose to secure tho
board has not as yet inaugurated any meas
ures to obtain theassessmentand no portion
has been paid in.
A suggestion was made, coming from
three stockholders, Mrs. J. C. Lucas, 2.100
shares: Mr. Haynes, Ml shore", and Mr.
Yard, 950 shares; total 1,041 share'; to trans
fer during the present month, without con
sideration to the bank, ail these shares
w hich the bank could use forits own beneti t,
representing at par value more than $200,000.
I declined to accept the proposition, as it
was crudely stated.
The Part Taken by Bardsley.
Mr. Drew wrote: "Outside of the account
of tho City Treasurer, who has all along en
deavored to assist the bank so far as he
properly could by putting in every day
checks, etc., in the bank to cover, so far as
possible, his drafts the next day through
the banks, the individual deposits have
diminished since February 15 a little more
than $200,000."
This letter bv Mr. Drew ennelndes thus:
"I am greatly disappointed in finding so lit-
tie active support given by the directors in.
effort to rehabilitate tho bank. If you can
make such orders upon the directory as will
compel an earnest and effective co-operation
on their part, I shall be glad to enter them.
Some offers to purchase the controlling in
terest in the bank have beonmade by strong
parties, but ax .the stock is underassessment

The abo Lacey on the 16th, and
on three u- A, 9b telegraphed Drew to
close the baioVl "Vs-

during the lifetime of Mr. John C. Lucas,
and that negotiations for the surrender and
cancellation of the same liira failed, for the
reason that Mr. Wanamaker claimed to hold
them as a pledge for the payment of a cer
tain sum of money dne him from the estate
of John C. Lucas, and he declined to sur
render the stock until tho debt was paid.
Upon learning these facts from Mr. Marsh,
I immediately determined to close the bank,
but did not so inform Marsh. I asked him to
go to the residence of Mr. Wanamaker and
toll him that I had been informed as to the
existence of this stock, and then to return to
my house. My purpose in this was to secure
time enough to inlorm the Department of
Justice and give an opportunity for Mr.
Marsh's arrest before he left the city, in caso
that course was deemed advisable.
As soon as Mr. Marsh left my house I called
at the residence of the Attorney General,
but learned that he was not In tho city. I
then laid the facts before the Solicitor Gen
eral and discussed with him the entire situa
tion. The Solicitor General did not deem it
neoessary to arrest Mr. Marsh at that time,
believing that a man who had voluntarily
confessed ns to the Lucas defalcation and
made a Journey from Philadelphia to Wash
ington to inform the Controller as to these
Irregular issues of certificates of stock. wa3
not likely to fly for the purpose of avoiding
the arrest which he had thus invited.
The Appointment of a Becelver.
This brings the narrative ud to the closing
of the bank, since which time all Its assets
have been in charge of the officers of the
General Government and properly kept and
cared for. Complaint has been made be
cause of delay In appointing a receiver. This
is utterly without force, as no interest what
over 'has thereby suffered and for tho
further reason that the delay was not un
usual. In closing this branch of the subject, In
justice to one whose name has been brought
into the disoussion of this failure, I desire
to say that Hon. John Wanamaker has never
directly or indirectly suggested or solicited
one day's 'delay in the closing of the bank
or in the appointment of a receiver, except
as appears by the following telegram:
"Mr. Marsh, of the Keystone Bank, camo
down last night to say that it was reported
yon Intend to appoint a receiver of the Key
stone Bank unless something more definite
was done to-day. I believe nothing could
suffer from giving them 24 hours longer, at
ther end of which they may put on paper
something more definite to be presented to
you. (From what ho says they are getting
along pretty well in securing subscriptions
to the now stock. I would recommend ap-
ointment of a receiver be deferred, say one
ay, until he has an opportunity to state
sometning more aennue.
" Jomr Wasamakeb."
The other has date April 18, and was sent
from the White House:
"Marsh telegraphs me to-day to Inform
you that the parties negotiating for control
of the bank are to give answer to him on
Friday next. Wanamaker."
In concluding this statement, I deem it
my duty to say that in my opinion the sev
eral reports made by tho bank examiner did
not reflect the true condition of the bank
under consideration. The degree of blame,
if any, which properly attaches to Mr. Drew
is yet to be ascertained. 'In the meantime,
howover, he has been directed to suspend
examinations until the facts are submitted
and a conclusion reached.
OIL IN A JUNE CYCLONE.
THE-OCKAN MNERS COMPELLED TO
KESOKT TO IT LAST WEEK.
Not a Wave Broke After the Fluid Grease
Touched the Water A Baby Born In the
Midst of the Storm Some Unexpected
Baths.
CSPECIAI, TELEClItAM TO THE DISPATCH.l
New York, June 14. A summer cyclone
is an infrequent visitor in the North Atlan-,
tic, but there was one there and all there
Monday and Tuesday last. That it was phe
nomenally severe for the season is shown by
the logs of three belated liners that hap
pened to get tangled In it. The Fulda, of
the jxorin uennan Xiioya ijine, ran into
the windy commotion early Tuesday
morning. It began like an ordi
nary June gale, but before midday it was
raging like an autumn roysterer from the
West Indies. All the passengers were or
dered below, and lifer on deck was full of
danger for the crew. Captain Bingk says
that the spray from the crests of the waves
was so thick that he could not see 300 feet
ahead from the bridge. He was compelled
to go at quarter speed for several hours, and
even then the seas leaped over the bows
and rushed astern.
He was obliged at last, fearing that the
ship might be seriously damaged to resort
to oil to still the troubled waves. Bags
were lowered over the boys, and the oil
dripped from them. Not another wave
broke aboard of the ship. 4
The Fuerst Bismarck's captain did not
dare to rush his big ship through the terri
ble seas, and he ordered the engineer to run
at half speed, and lost about 18 hours. At
the height of the tumult a new passenger,
who had no wardrobe, appeared in the
steerage, making the total number 1,001.
On Monday morning at 2 o'clock the
steamship City of Berlin was assaulted by a
wave that dashed clear over her. Water
ran down several of the ventilating fun
nels and drowned people out of their rooms.
One young man tried to leave his room and
was met in the passageway by a huge tro.uk
rolling end over end.

Extravagant Ideas of Chicago Architects
for Apartment Houses.
fSPEClAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
CHICAGO, June 14. The Chicago archi
tects don't propose to hide their light any
longer. They have originated some ideas in
apartment houses that read like fairy tales.
The latest is a plan for an apartment house
withjmagnificent gardens on the roof. The
tenants will be able to sit on the eleventh
story amid flowers, vines and frees and.
watch the wanderings of the Chicago river
and the excavations at the World's Fair
ground.
Each of these apartment houses will there
fore provide a summer resort for its tenants

PROFESSOR SCHOEB'S FINE PLAN
To Add to His Regular Income From Teach
ing Music Lessons.
SEYEX SUNDAY SELLERS LOCKED TIP
"Please let Alex out, won't you? I can't
get along without him."
Inspector McAleese looked over the
bright, polished railing in Central station
at the pretty little woman who uttered the
appeal and shook his head.
"You will have to do without him for
some time," he answered.
Tears came to a pair of blue eyes, and
their owner threatened to become hysterical,
but the .'Inspector was firm, and appeals
were In vain. So Alexander Schoeb, the
husband of the weeping woman, spent the
night behind the black bars in Central
Station, and will have to answer
a charge of illegal liquor selling this morn
ing. His downfall will cause some anxiety
in the hearts of a score or more young
ladies and fashionable gentlemen who have
made their headquarters at a suite of hand
some apartments at No. 150 Fourth avenue.
Well Known In Fashionable Society.
All the fashionable people of the city
have heard of Prof. Schoeb, and numerous
daughters of wealthy families owe their
musical attainments to his teachings. Prof.
Schoeb gained additional fame in some
princely homes because of his sweet-faced
partner in life, whom the fond parents all
loveu. Desiues, ine proiessor was himself
a handsome man, and did not look out of
place in the finest parlors, where he taught
fair, youthful fingers the mysteries of ivory
kevs.
But the steady income of increasing
fiatronage only goaded on the brilliant pro- '
essor's love of money, and he conceived a
brilliant plan for climbing the ladder of
wealth. Three second floor rooms at No.
ISO Fourth avenue were secured, and a con
siderable portion of the receipts of the last
quarter's lessons went for pretty furnitute
and house trimmings. The professor also
invested in a capacious ice chest and glass
rack, and the rear room bore strong re
semblance to a saloon.
An Eventful and Auspicious Opening.
Bargains were made with divers dealers
in fine wines and beer, and the professor
had a grand opening one night at which the
frequenters oi high society circles were in
the majority. Who could resist the attrac
tion of a glass of wine served with asmils
by pretty Mrs. Schoeb? The place became
celebrated, and before many weeks the
young couple had all they could do to en
tertain their evening visitors.
Soon the wife stopped going out with tho
professor on his afternoon rounds of teach
ing.and stayed at home to serve innocent lit
tle sweet wines to a bevy of lady clerks
from the Court House and other places.
Late in the afternoon the prosperous pro
fessor would come homo and play for the
visitors on the piano. The ladies were al
ways charmed, and came again.
For some time the police have had their
suspicions about the gay young couple, but
were unable to obtain sufficient proof to
warrant any action, owing to the fact that
none but persons of the better class were
admitted, and then only when well known.
Proof, however, was finally secured, and
last night Inspector McAleese ordered a
raid.
Successfully Balded on Sunday.
Several officers went up and soon gained
entrance. Nobody was there but Schoeb,
his wife and his sister-in-law. The latter
was ill and was not removed, and later in
the evening Mrs. Schoeb was released in
order to go back and attend to the needs of
the sick woman. She wanted her husband
released also, and was almost frantic over
what would become of him.
This is the first speak-easy ever raided by
the police where champagne and fine wines
were in stock.
The speak-easy kept by Mrs. Keyser, at
No. 18 Liberty avenue, was raided "about 9
o'clock and the proprietress, with three
visitors, arrested. The woman has been ar
rested on the same charge a number of
times before. She is a Hebrew and a per
sistent lawbreaker whom no amount of
fining and workhouse sentences seems to
affect. She had a big roll of money and
wanted to secure her release with a lorfeit
last night, but Inspector McAleese would
not allow her to go.
The place was fitted out in p. decidedly
unique way. The floor of the main room
was cut away for a space of about four feet
square. Below this the earth was scooped
out several feet. Here the beer was kept,
with a plentiful supply of ice. A trap door
fitted over the place, which was covered
with a piece of carpet, and a table wag
placed over this. On the approach of any
suspicions persons a toss of the bottles and
glasses out the rear door left the drinkers
innocently sitting about a bare table with
no sign of drink anywhere. But all the
sharp appliances could not delude Inspector
McAleese's men.
Quite a Number of Other Balds.
Mrs. Cadey, of 200 Penn avenue,, waa
aho brought in with five male visitors. She
is an old offender and has been doing a big
business.
Mrs. Mollie Reagan has been running a
prosperous speak-easy on Bluff 'street ad
joining the Holy Ghost College building,
and her patronage has been of the well pay
ing sort. She, with five young men .who
were drinking in the house, were brought to
Central station last night. Her house was
well equipped and stocked for a trade that
would make the average saloon keeper
proud.
Several officers from the Fourteenth
ward had a lively time in raiding a speak
easy in Soho last night. About 9 o clock
Officer Magle gained entrance to the speak
easy kept by Charles Doyle, near the corner
of Fifth avenue and Boston street, but just,
as he got in the house he was identified.
The door was locked by one ofthe cus
tomers as soon as Officer Magle told Doyle
he was arrested. A general fight then took
place in whieh Doyle and nis wife and
Officer Magle were badly injured. Mrs.
Doyle had part of her hair pulled
out and received an ugly scalp
wound which bled freely, coverine her
dress with blood. Doyle received several
bad wounds about the head and body. A.
physician was called and dressed their in
juries and they were'removed to the Four
teenth ward station."
Officer Magle received a severe kick in
the stomach and had to be taken to his
home. .Mark Bradley and John. Martin
were afterward arrested by Lieutenant
Schafier and Officer Swick and locked up in
the Fourteenth word station for visiting the
house. A large crowd witnessed the plac
ing of the prisoners in the patrol wagon,and
the sight of Mrs. Doyle, covered with
blood, almost caused a riot.
The parties arrested last night will all
have a nearing this morning on the charge
of keeping disorderly houses. Magistrate
Qripp will hear the Twelfth ward cases,
Magistrate McKenna being engaged with
other matters which will prevent his at
tending his regular dnties for to-day.
Allegheny Police Capture a Couple.
The intense heat in Allegheny had the
