Thk yellow fever pestllenee has af forded persons who desired to do so a chanee to be thought dead, for It wus easy to get their names fraudulently on the death roll. Many fugitives from justice tire known to have endeavored In that way to stop pursuit. One of these was the defaulting treasurer of Uloom ington, Illinois. IlALV A MILLION OF DOLLAIM is a great deal .of money, but that Is the rimount of ball that was oll'ered In vain for one of tho Imprisoned directors of the City of Glasgow Hank.

Washington, October 31. The Ger man Americun National Bank, an In stitution which grew out of the German American Savings Bank, and occupied the same'buildlng with that Institution, at the corner of Seventh and P streets, 2f . W., suspended this morning. The German American Savings Bank has also closed its doors and put up the following notice: " Owing to the sus pension of the-German American Na tional Bank, this bank is foroed to close." The officials of the savings bank, how ever, declare that the institution is sound. Both of these banks were owned and pajtronined principally by Germans, and the suspension caused much sur prise, as they were regarded as sound. An exclUd crowd surrounds tho build ing. Comptroller KtvoK this morning de tailed National Bunk Examiner B. U. &eyser to examine the affairs of the bank, and be is now in possession of the .estahlishoienfc. After a hasty examina tion he stated it was probable the de positors will be paid in full. A Baby's Adventure. On Sunday morning a week Mrs. Charles Rati, a young married woman living at No. Ill Bush wick avenue, Brooklyn, gave birth to a fine healthy infant. Mrs. Kau's mother, Mrs. Mo lonce, went to help take care of her daughter and grandchild. Of the latter she was very proud, and Sunday evening she wrapped it up and called on several neighbors to exhibit it. The health of the baby was drunk several times, Mrs. Malone doing her part with vigor, and finally when Mrs. Malone got through' making calls and started for home she found that the baby's health had been a little too much for her, sat down on a door-step and ' soon 6he was asleep. When she awoke she left the baby lying on the stoop and went home alone. Just as she was entering the house she missed the child and went back and called at all the places she had previously visited, but could get no clue to its whereabouts at that time. Afraid to return homa without the precious property she kept up the search till Tuesday morning when completely tired out, she went and con fessed to her daughter and son-in-law. The search for the child was resumed, but without success, and finally Mr. Rati appealed to the police for help. He then found that his baby had been pick ed up by the police and handed over to the Charity Commissioners and they in turn had given tho child up to Mrs. Catherine Heldsman, of 118 Hopkins street, for adoption. Thither Mr. Rati went, but he was not permitted to take possession. Yesterday morning he call ed on Mrs. Ileldsman again, accom panied by three friends carrying a letter from. a lawyer, In which a formal de mand for the relinquishment of the child was maclo. Mrs. Ileldsman only snapped her finger at the written de mand, and said she would not give up the baby unless compelled to do so by on order from the Judge of some court. Mr. J tail, not wishing to go to court, left the whole matter in the hands of ono of tho Charity Commissioners, who will get the child back and restore it to the afflicted parents. iv". World. ps. - . . A Twelve Year Old Boy Hanging Himself. On Saturday afternoon the body of F.ddlo Blery, about 11! years of age, was found hanging by the neck in ills fa ther bam at Wennersvllle, Lehigh county. When discovered the body was still warm, but life was extinct. It seems that on that day his father and mother wont to visit some neighbors, leaving their two sons, Marcus, aged 10, and Kddie, at home. A neighbor visited tho plaoe soon afterward, and found the boys at work. He then went awoy, but returning a short time afterward ho missed Eddio and inquiring where ho was. After a search by himself and Marcus they found the little fellow bung ing by the neck in the granary, he having fastened tho rope to the pulleys used for twisting grain to the floor above. His feet were resting on the iloor when found. On Tuesday evening, Oct. 1, Mrs. Biery was preparing some milk pudding for the family's supper, and during her temporary absence from the stove some one put arsenle into the pud ding, and the family had a narrow es cape from being poisoned. Who placed the poison there is still unknown, but the suicide of the lad may prove a se quef to the attempted poisoning. A Narrow Escape. Three houses In a suburb of Boston were entered on the same day by a thief, who was distinctly seen by the inmates In each case. Their descriptions led to the arrest of Edward Leonard, an industrious and honest young man, and they were all prompt in identifying him as the criminal. It chanced that he had not worked on the duy of the robberies, and therefore was unuble to establish an alibi. He would undoubt edly have been convicted had not an officer recollected that between him and a thief called Baltimore Jim was a won derful resemblance. Baltimore Jim was arrested, and the stolen property was found in his possession. A Convict's Strange Story. Hartford, October 10. Charles Gil bert, a life prispner in the State prison, who was sentenced in 1802 for the mur der of Henry Cad well, of New Britain, made a statement yesterday in which he alleges that he Is entirely innocent of the crime, and that tho murder was committed by his father and Charles Parsons, both of whom were arrested at the time of his own arrest, but were not indicted. Both the elder Gilbert and Parsons are dead, and it is claimed by Gilbert ttiat his father having recently died, he feels free to tell the story as his father told it to him, and as he repeated it to his counsel when he was convicted. A Brutal Tramp Outrage. Cincinnati, October 29. Three tramps came to the house door of a farmer named Thomas Lannon, near Parkersburg, W. V., yesterday, and ask ed for food. The farmer's daughter opened the door, but refused their re quest. One of the tramps struck her a brutal blow in the face,. pushed open the door, beat the farmer's wife badly, took everything that could be of use to them and decamped. They were pursued, but succeeded in making their escape into Ohio. A Female Highway Robber. Mary E. Perkins attempted early on Tuesduy morning to rob George S. Leach, of No. Gl East Twelfth street, of a diamond pin valued at (135. Leach struggled with the woman at the corner of Broadway and Fourteenth street, and she slipped on the sidewalk, breaking her ankle. The pin was recovered and the woman was taken to the New York Hospital. tJS" There was a tinge of romance In the crime which led to the hanging of Richard T. Isaacs at Harrisonville, Mo., last week. " He was in love with a girl named Allie Chllson, and Allle ex pressed her willingness to marry him as soon as he should be worth $1,000. In order to raise' the money Isaacs delib erately murdered a drover, shipped the murdered man's cattle to St. Louis, and sold them. He was arrested before he had opportunity to wed bis sweetheart, and confessed bis crime as coolly as he bad committed it. But his self-posses sion deserted htm when he spoke of the girl for whose sake he bad risked the gallows. Isaacs was executed according to law, an incident rare in that region of Missouri. (hjTltis stated that the appropriation of $20,000 for the expenses of the Potter Committee was exhausted last summer, and that several of the largest accounts are still unpaid.
