Sir: The Crescents contradict the state,
ment of Captain Hart In lust Wednesday's
paper, when he said the Crescents were
trying to break up the game. It stands
to reason that If the Crescents did this,
the referee who Captain Hart had chosen
would not award the game to the res
cents. This Is the third time the Cres
cents played the Crown Kings, the latter
always having a different team. The
Crescents would only be too Klad to meet

CLOSED BY A RUN.
The Calumet Slate Hank f orced to
Close II Doors.
Chicago, Dec. 24. A continued run of
two days made upon the Calumet State
bank at Blue Island, Ills., forced Its
olllcers to close their doors today. An
assignment was made to the vice-president.
The deed of assignment gives
the assets as J.87,669; and liabilities as
JSS.OOO. The deposits amount to about
$00,000, and the assets consist largely of
securities of debatable value.
It Is said the securities must be han
dled carefully In order to realize any
thing like their value. The hank is
owned by a stock company, has a capi
tal stock of $2S,000, and is eight years
old. The usslgnee claims that If given

positors. The majority of the deposi

not be assluucd on the principle of fa
voritism. Ohio claims it by right of the
presidency, but General Horace Porter
has determined that it shall go in the
order of the admission of states into the
