The pdople of Middleport, Ohio, he-
came thoroughly aroused over the col-
lapse of the Middleport Bank, a pri-
vate institution, which failed to open
its doors, after Vice President T. S.
Armentrout had discovered its em-
barrassed condition during the absence
of President E. C. Fox.
William Horden, an’ old merchant,
became so angered over the loss of a
deposit that he took a revolver and
sought Vice President Armentrout at
his home, with the avowed purpose of
shooting the banker. Horden was in-
tercepted before reaching Armentrout.
It is stated that the greater part of
he deposits, amounting to about $115,-
000, are missing. Most of the deposit-
ors are poor people and their deposits
represented nearly all their savings.
Vice President Armentrout was ar-
rested and brought to Pomeroy, where
he gave bond for his appearance.

Chicago Bank, Admits Guilt.
HE PUTS BLAME ON OTHERS
Exonerates Directors from Participa-
tion in Looting but Blames Cash-
ier, Teller and Clerks.
Paul O. Stensland, former president
the Milwaukee Avenue State
Bank, pleaded guilty in court at
Chicago upon charges growing out of
the wrecking of the bank, and was
given on one count an indeterminate
sentence in the
maximum term of 10 years.
On another count, that of altering
forged checks, he was fined $120.
New disclosures of the greatest im-
portance were made by Stensland to
Assistant State's Attorney Olsen on
the train on the way from New York |
to Chicago. The banker broke down |
and wept several times during the
cross-examination. |
It is said Stensland laid the origin

forger. The Italian was charged with
working in conspiracy with Cashier
Hering. ;
An assistant from the state's at-
torney’s office boarded the train at
Cleveland with the questionable notes
that have been unearthed. They
were examined in detail by Stens-
land and some of them pronounced
valid, notwithstanding the statement
of the makers that their signatures
had been forged. Stensland exon-
erated the directors of participating
in the looting of the bank and placed
all the blame on Cashier Hering,
former Teller Frantzen and their
partners.
Stensland, in charge of Jailer Whit-
man, left for the Joliet penitentiary
the same day.
RICH ANTHRACITE FIND
Will Require Half a Century to Ex-
haust the Vein.
By the discovery of the Lykens vein
in the Mahanoy Valley by prospec-
tors of the Philadelphia & Reading
Coal and Iron Company the assets of
this miining corporation will be in-
creased millions of dollars.
The zeam averages 12 feet in thick-
ness and extends for over a mile in
length and about an eighth of a mile
in width. It contains millions of tons
of purest anthracite and it will re-
quire half a century of steady mining
to exhaust it. The value of the vein
is varicusly estimated from $50,000,000
to $100,000,000.
Preparations are to be commenced
at once to develop it. This will pro-
vide employment for several thous-
and men and boys.
Prospectors say this vein runs the
entire length of the Mahanoy Valley,
oa distance of 12 miles, only that it is
deeper at many points than where it
has been discovered and proved, but
minable throughout the whole stretch.

RAILROAD STATISTICS
Large Increase in Mileage, Traffic and
Earninas.
- The inter-state commerce commis-
sion made public statistics of railways
in the United States for the year end-
ing June 30, 1905, based on reports
of the railroads as required by law.
These show that on June 30, 1905, the
total single track railway mileage in
the United States was 218,101, or 4,-
196 miles more than at the end of the
previous year.
The operated’ mileage for which
substantially complete returns were
rendered to the commission was 216,-
973 miles, including 7,568 miles of line
used under trackage rights. The
aggregate length of railway mileage,
including tracks of all kinds, was
506,796 miles.
The gzross earnings from the oper-
ation of 216,973 miles of line were
$2,482,406, or $107,308,315 greater
than for 1904, and for the first time,
exceeding the two billion mark.
CONVICTED OF REBATING
Camden Iron Works Is Adjudged
Guilty of Collecting $1,230.
In the United States District Court
the Camden Iron Works of Camden,
N. J., was found guilty of receiving
rebates from the Mutual Transit Com-
pany of Buffalo, a lake carrier. The
rebates, amounting to $1,320, it was
alleged, were given by the transit
company on a shipment of castiron
pipe to Winnipeg, Manitoba, in 1904.
An appeal for a new trial was filed,
and pending the disposal of the ap-
peal sentence was deferred.
L. W. Lake, general Eastern agent
of the Mutual Transit Company; C.
E. Campbell, general agent of the
Great Northern Railway Company,
and the Great Northern Railway Com-
pany itself were indicted with the
transit company, but each elected to
be tried separately. The other cases
are awaiting disposal.

As receiver for the defunct Enter- |

Pennsylvania Development Company,
a New Jersey corporation, the action
involving $437,455.60, with interest.
William H. Andrews, T. Lee Clark,
the late cashier of the bank, and
others are named in the body of the |
statements as co-defendants. All the
defendants are residents of this coun-
ty except Andrews, who claims New
Mexico as his home. |
The suit is based on 29 promisory |
notes in sums ranging from $5,000 to |
$50,000. They are made in the name |
of the Pennsylvania Development |
Company, indorsed by T. Lee Clark |
and directors and delivered to Clark |

said to have done so without the
