SCHOEPF 0 TAKE CHARGE The Road Losing Money, Accord- ing to Complainants. eS PROSPECT FOR RAPIDTRANSIT Matthias Ament of Baltimore, Md., trad- ing as M. Ament & Co., sued the Ecking- ton and Soldiers’ Home and the Beit Line Railway companies Saturday for $639.98 and $641.33, respectively@and judgment was rendered in each case. Thereupon, writs of execution were issued and placed in the hands of the marshal for execution. Later in the day the writs were returned nuila bona, and still later in the day bills in equity were filed by Attorney Walter C. Clephane, on behalf of Mr. Ament, against each company and others, praying that they be placed in the hands of a receiver or receivers. Mr. W. Stuart Symington, vice president of the two companies, immediate- ly filed an answer to each suit, admitting the allegations in each bill of complaint to be true, and consenting to the relief there- in prayed. Without Funds. The bills of complaint «re practically identical, stating that neither company has preperty here subject to execution at law, but explaining that each is the owner of equitable interests in certain real and per- sonal property, which, if properly pre- served and managed, will be sufficient to pay the two judgments. Said property is described at length, as well as the trusts thereon, and then the complairant avers that for a long time both roads have been operated at a daily loss, the income of neither being sufficient to meet either fixed charges or daily current expenses. The act of Congress of the 10th of last Jeune is referred to in which the roads are required to equip their lines with com- pressed air motors within a specified time. ‘The process of said equipment has been commenced, says the complainant, having progressed to a point where the cars are nearly ready to be placed in operation. To provide the means for completing said equipment, explains the compiainant, it is imperative that some method be resorted to for providing said means, should the pro- posed equipment prove satisfactory upon a test thereof, and he {ts informed and be- lieves that an exceedingly favorable ar- rangement has been made between the two cempanicg and a responsible firm whereby provision has been made for the equipment of the two roads and a thorough test of the system without charge therefor unless the test should be successful, and that if rea- sonable assurance can be given said firm of the success of the test, the cars can be put in operation within a very short time. If successful, further says the complain- apt, the propesed system will be about onc- helt as expensive as the horse-power sy: tem, and will provide rapid transit, which will attract, he seys, the public patronage and produce sufficient revenue to afford means not only to operate the roads, but also to pay all their indebtedness. ‘To Take Possession. Both reads, says Mr. Ament, who is a dealer in grain and hay, are without means to carry on the operaticn of the roads, and there is especially pressing need for funds “to provide food for the horses belonging to them arid pay cther current expenses. He algo refers to the suits instituted by t District Commissioners Saturday to re- cover frem the two roads penalties for al- leged failure to comply with the act of Congress above mentioned. Therefore he asks the ccurt to appoint a receiver for each road, with such powers and authority as the court may deem best, und especially with authority to preserve and operate the roads, and also procure the speedy equipment of their lines with the aforesaid air motors, or otherwise, as the court may direct; that the receivers be authorized to issue and negotiate for pur- peses epproved by the court receivers’ cer- tificates toe such amount as the court may direct, that at the final hearing of the cases, and at such time as to the court may seem right, the property of tne two roads may be sold, either free from the liens of the deeds of trust cr subject there- to, by such receiver or by trustees to be appointed by the ccurt; that all persons be enjoined from interfering with the posses- sion of the receiver or recetvers, and that they may be required to deliver up to him or them all the property of every nature belonging to the sald companies. Appointed Receiver. Judge Cox today signed an order appoint- ing Mr. David M@Newbold receiver pend- ente lite for each road. Mr. Newbold, as receiver, is authorized to take possession of all the property of every nature belong- ing to the two roads, to manage, control and dispose of the same, under the order and direction of the court, and until its further order. Both roads and all persons claiming under them are ordered forthwith «o deliver possession to the receiver of all the said property, and all persons are joined frum interfering with the receiver's possession of the same. The bond of Mr. Newbold, as receiver, is fixed in each case UUU. Mr. Schoepf Appointed. This afternoon the court was duly in- formed that Mr. Newbold had declined the appointment as receiver for the two com- panies, whereupon Judge Cox appointed Mr. W. Kesley Schoepf, formerly manager of the two roads, as the receiver for them, fixing his bond at 325,000 In each case and giving him the same authority and power granted to Mr. Newbold. The receiver or any party to the two suits were granted leave by the court to apply to it for an en- largement or modification of the powers of the receiver or instructions to him as they or either of them may from time to time be advised to make. ——_——_—_—_— THE COURTS.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN An Exciting Fire This Morning in Mr. Cissel’s Stables. Local Notes of General Interest From Across the Creek—An Old Landmark. Shortly before 11 o'clock this morning a fire was discovered in the stables of Geo. W. Cissel & Co., at 32) Water street, and an alarm for the engines promptly turned in. The fire was discovered by Mr. Smith of the ice firm of Smith, Hallett & Co., who noticed flames and smoke coming from the stables, the rear of which is about 160 feet from the Potomac river. © By the time the engines arrived the entire upper story of the stable was ablaze, and a dense smoke issued from every crevice of the building. The lower floor is used for the stabling of the horses of the firm, about fifteen in number, but fortunately all the animals had been taken out earlier in the day and were working. The upper story was filled with cut baled hay and straw, and this was fortunate. Had the floor con- tained much loose hay or straw the blaze would have been much worse. The origin of the fire is unkrown. It is supposed that ore of the laborers in the employ of the company was working in the place, smok- ing, and a few sparks from the pipe ignit- ed the hay. How long the fire had been burning before discovery is not known. The loss will not exceed $4. The second floor was almost burned through and the hay ruined. Adjoining the stables was the store house of the company, separated by a brick wall, but fortunately none of the stogk in the store house was burned. Funeral Services. The funeral of Mrs. Mary Louisa Clem- ents, formerly of Georgetown, who died last Friday, took »lace from her ‘ate resi- dence, 1322 Corcoran street, yesterday af- ternoon, and proceeded to St. Paul's Church, corner of 15th and V streets, where Rev. Father Mackin, assisted by Fev. Fa- thers Gross and Foley, performed the last sad rites. Mrs. Clements had arrived at the advanced age of seventy-five years, and had raised a family of six girls and one boy. She was the mother of Mr. Jas. T. Clements, the undertaker of this place. Mrs. Clements was an exemplary com- municant of the Catholic Church. The in- terment was made at Holyrood cemetery, fcllowed by a large concourse of relatives and friends. The honorary pall-bearers were Messrs. C. H. Demar, Anthony Han- lon, Dr. Charles Becker, Hugh T. Taggart, W. Archibald Cunningham, Arthur Small, James Manogue and Joseph C. Murray. Got a Shock. A peculiar condition of affairs existed yesterday where the tracks of the Great Falls Electric railroad cross the Foxhall reed, just at the beginning of the Conduit road. In some manner the insulation of the guy wires, connecting the return cur- rent wire with the rails, became worn out, and the fluid escaped to the rails, forming a continuous current, while cars were at motion qp either end of the linz. In coming up the steep hill, a pair of horses attached to a fix, stepped upon the tracks. Their iron shoes gave them a shock and the animals became frightened ani dashed away. The team was stopped, but not until a shaft had been broken. The accident was witreesed by a number of other drivers, who were afraid to walk their horses across the track, coming down the hill, for fear of a runaway. A good many solved the problem by using the New Cut road for the return to town. =~ St. Ann’s Church. Rev. Joseph C. Mallon, pastor of St. Ann’s Church, Tenleytown, has returned after a plevsant vacation spent in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut. Before returning Father Mallon visited his sister, Sister M. Albina, at the Convent ef Mercy, Norwich, Conn. During the pastor's absence services were canducted by Rev. Father McTammany of George- town University; Rev. Father Ryan, pas- tor of Immaculate Conception Church, and Rev. Father Foley of St. Paul's Church. St. Ann’s Catholic school for boys and girls opened today with a larger number of pupils than ever before. Considerable improvements have been made in_ the schcol, and an advanced list of studies made out. Notes. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Moran have re- turned from their honeymoon trip to Old Point Comfort, and are now domiciled at 8540 O street, where they would be glad to see their many friends. The condition of Mr. Walter Weaver of the firm of W. T. & F. B. Weaver was re- ported as much better this morning. Baptism was administered yesterday at the Tenleytown Baptist Church by the pastor. Religious services will be held Tues- day evening, at which Prof. Gilkey and Mr. Parnes wil! be present to assist. At the Dumbarton Avenue M. FE. Church yesterday Rev. J. H.

ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS A Young Lady Struck by o Train and Seriously Injured. Enthastasm at the Meeting With Mr. Bryan Saturday—Other Mat- ters of Interest. The wagon cf Mr. Owen, Triplett, in which vere seated Mr. Triplett, his daugh- ter, Miss Lula, and a young man named Arderson, was struck by a north-bound train at 10:52 o'clock Saturday night on the Washington and Southern railroad at the corner of King and Fayette streets. Mr. Triplett, who is a huckster, had been attending market all day, and was on his wey home. When he reached the above corner he heard the train approaching, but as the gates were up and no watchman in sight, he thought that he would have plenty of time to cross the track without danger. Before he could get across, how- ever, the pilot of the engine struck the hind wheel of his wagon, throwing it a considerable distance. Miss Lula was thrown a distarce of fifteen feet, ner head and shoulders coming in contact with the ccbble stones. She was picked up uncon- scious and carried into Entwisle’s drag store, and Dre:!Smith, Purvis and Snowden summoned. Uj ation it was found that she had received a severe scalp weund, bes'des veing bruised about the body. After working on her for some time ccnsciousness was restored, and she w removed to her home in Fairfax county, accompanied by Dr. Smith. Mr. Triplett and young Anderson escaped with only a few bruises. The wagon was completely demolished. This morning Mis: ‘Triplett’s condition wes somewhat im- proved, although fhe is not entirely out of eanger. Mr. Bryan's Visit. One of the iargest audiences that was ever assembled to welcome any man to this city was gathered at the intersection of King and Fayette streets Saturday after- noon to welcome Mr. William Jennings Bryan. His train was scheduled to arrive in this city at 3:23 o'clock, but long before that time men, women and children from all sections of the city and surround country began to assemble at the depo and when the train arrived it was est mated that from 3,009 to 33,500 people were there. A committee of the Bryan, Sewall and Rixey Club of this city, consisting of Messrs. M. B. Harlow, J. M. Hill, Henry Strauss, J. T. Beckham, W. F. Carne, J J. H. Strider, Charles Cuvalier, S. H. Lun John A. Marshall, Noble Lindsay, J. H. May and Christopher Gill, went to Frede: icksburg on the 11:17 o'clock train and es- certed Mr. Bryan to Alexandria. When the train came to a standstill at the corner of King and Fayette streets, Mr. M. B. Harlow, president of the Bryan, Sewall and Rixey Club, introduced Mr. Bryan, who spoke of his present trip through the old dominion, and his gratification at the interest the people were taking in public affairs. He continued: “I am glad to find that the people realize that the government is in their hands, and glad to know that they are determined to take charge of the government. From the smallest child up te the oldest adult they are interested this year, and instead of sending carriages to get people to come out and vote, you could not keep them away from the polls with an army. ‘Just let the enthusiasm you manifest now continue to grow. Let it grow every day from now until election day. I want you to be more enthusiastic on election day than on any day before, and I want you to be happier on the day after election than at any time before. I am glad to see you. If things turn out right this fall, I wiil be such a near neighbor that I can come down to see you often. “I had forgotten one thing that I wanted to speak about. I understand that in this city was raised the first flag to the ticket nominated at Chicago. I want to thank you for the honor and ‘to hope that those ORE a never have cause to regret st they havi succes: of that ticket.” fe taken in the success When Mr. Bryan closed the enthusiasm was intense, and hundreds crowded around the car to shake hands with h train pulled out.

Mr. Kennedy refused to prosecute the case. An unknown thief entered the house of Lewis Wilkerson, colored, on Henry street Saturday night and stole three suits of clothes, six shirts, six handkerchiefs and a hand sétchel. The police are at work upon the case. Helena, the young daughter of Mr. T. J. Fannoa, died at the residence of her parents yesterday morning.

NATIONAL BANKS Facts From a Treasury Circular to Be Soon Issued. PROFITS ON THE CIRCULATION Average Dividends and Earnings for Twenty-Five Years. {RESOURCES IN STATES The treasury circular regarding the na- tional banking system which will be ready for general distribution in a few days will contain seventy-one pages of statistics and extracts from various reports of thé con- troller of the currency, intended to give ihe information most generally sought for during the prezcnt financial discussion. The condition of the national banks every year since the foundation of the system fills the first twenty-five pages of the pamphlet, and then cone some statistics of state and private banks and savings banks, which indicate the rapid advance in deposits and of banking resourecs, the profit on bank ing institutions. The gold and silver held by the banks, che ver capita distribution of banking resources, the profit on bank- note circulation, the large payments by the banks for taxation, the clas upon which circulation is based, transactions of the clearing hou: up the principal statistical tables. other matt includes a stat lawful money reserve and thi computing it, the use of credit instruments as ascertained by Controller Hepburn in 1892, the history of clearing house certifi- cates embodied in the report for ISI, and the facts regarding depositors gathered by Controller Eckels in 18#4. Nearly all of this matter has appeared In previous re- ports, but has not been brought together in such compact and accessible form. Two or three of the tables addressed most di- rectly to the pending financial discus- sion have been brought down to later dates than the annual report for 18% Profit on Bank Note Circulntion. One of these is the calculated profit on national bank note circulation, based upon the actual market price of bonds on thre different dates. ‘The first date, October 31, 184, shows a net profit on circulation of considerably less than one per ceat on four and five per cent bonds, barely more than half of one per ceat on the continued twos, and a little less than two per cent on the six yer cent Pacific railway bonds, of which only a few are available to secure circulation. The market prices on October 31,1 showed a trifle more than one per cent profit on the old fours and the fives, but less than one per cent on the new fours and the twos, wiih little charge in the six per cent bonds. The latest figures, for August 31, 18¥5, show a larger profit on each class of b , due to their low2r prices. ‘The bighest profit is 3.817 per cent on the six per cent bonds. Then com! order, the fives, with a net profit of 1 the cld fours, 1.432; the new and the continued twos, 0.6 ‘Vhis table is likely to be used by friends of the banks to dispute the fat of excessive profit which they are sup- Posed to derive from double fnterest in certain sectiens of the countr; Average Dividends and Earnings. Another table going to sustain the same line of argument is that showing the aver- age dividends and carnings of the national banks from 1870 to 1805. ‘This table shows the average dividends to capital for twent six years to have been S.4 per cent, but the figures of recent pars have been much lower. Those for 1 for 18: per cent: for 18M, 6.8 per cent, and cent. These ures are not an ate measure, however, of the real earnings of the capital invested in the national banks. A parallel column s the dividends upon al and surplus, and another ¢ net earnings to capital and latter shows an annual nt, declining from 11.8 per cent in S70 to 5.6 per cent in 184, and 5 per cent in Is Banking Resources in States. One cf the most interesting tables, and one much relied upon by the advocates of a banking currency, in proof of their argu- ment in favor of a more elastic system cf circulation, is the table showing the aggre- gate banking resources in each state. resources are made up by adding the capi- tal, surplus, undivided profits and indi- vidual deposits of national, state, stock, savings and private banks and loan and trust companics. This large aggregate is then divided by the population to show the average banking capital available in each commonweaith. The total banking cay of the country on June :i0, 18t he 544,084. The computed population at lime was 69,954,000, which afforded an average banking capital per capita of $5.83.

These latter figures are regarded by the supporters of the Indianapolis platform as a convincing argument in favor of their declaration for a change in the existing currency system. These figures, showing the immense accumulation of money in old banking centers, and its scafzity in the rewer sections of the country, are cited as proof that the existing currency system does not provide currency where it is needed or meet the demand for a flexible and elastic circulating medium. It is ad- mitted that the northeastern states would, under any system, show a greater available banking capital than the pewer states, b it is argued by the supporters of a banking currency that the discrepancy would not be so great as these figures indicate if the currency were adapted to the dei business. Stress is laid by the su of the Indianapolis platform upon this point, because it is in this respect that their platform differs from that of the re- publicans. They admit the existence of evils, and they claim to present a method of remedying them which does not carry the paralysis to business and the injury to credit which they believe will accompany the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. eS $18 dressing table for $8.95.

Three Suspects Now in Castedy—The Wound Not Thought to Be Fa Mr. Frederick W. Emrich, a well-known member of the Emrich Beef Company, which cenducts a number of meat and provision stores throughcut this city, was the victim of a daring attempt at high- way robbery about 1 o'clock Sunday morn- ing. Mr. Emrich was shot by the high- wayman, receiving a bullet in the neck, which caused a serious and painful wound. Although the bullet has not yet been ex- tracted r. Emrich’s condition was said this afternoon by his physician, Dr. Schnei- der, to be improved over yesterda: and but little doubt, of his recovery exists. Three men are behind the bars at the sixth precinct pelice s' ion, held on s cion of having fired the shot. It has been Mr. Emrich’s habit to visit the stores of the company at the closing hour each Saturday night and collect the receipts of the day. The would-be robber was evidently aware of that fact. At the hour mentioned yester morning Mr. Emrich, in h s driving along Indiana’ avenue ore at the corner of 34 street and na avenue. He had th him a vali containing about $1,000 ine; intersection of DP strect, 3d street na avenue, a colored man d and app a Emrich from the rear, As the latter don hearing the harged, and Mr. Emrich fell forward. tained a good look at his assailant . The report of the pistol ws vard at the store, and three of the em- ployes, George Schaller, Wallie Kermodel and Raleigh Dune, ran iato the street in tUme to sce a colored man hastening away. Mr. Dune followed on a bicycle, but the flecing individual turned into Knox alley, and all trace of him was lost. Sergeant Ivey of the sixth precinct soon reached the spot, and at his direction ch was taken to the Emergency from the dense shrubbe: Mr. where Dr. Carr and Dr. West surgical assistance. The bullet, however, was not removed. The wounled man did not lose consciousness, but ex- plained that he has been expecting seme such attempt as the one made, end in view thereof recently secured a permit to carry a revolver. He had no opportunity, though, of defending himself yesterday morning. Mr. Emrich is new at his home, 3141 N street, and his physician has not yet per- mitted the detectives who are working cn the case to converse with him. It is under- stood, however, that Mr. Emrich has stated to the physician that he believes he will be able to identify his assailant. The three suspects held at the sixth pre- cinct station are Ransom G. Burns, Perry Hatheway and Archie Dyson. The two first named were fcund in Knox alley soon after the -shooting under circumstances that warranted their arrest. Dyson was taken into custody yesterday, on information fur- nished by two colored men, who claim that they saw him run through the alley and into a house about the time the at- tempted robbery happened. Detective Hartigan has been working constantly on the case. He is very reti- cent in speaking of it, but it is believed that the police are convinced that one of the three men held at the sixth precinct station is the guilty party. It is known, however, that other arrests will be made this afternoon on clues discovered by De- tective Hartigan. All the men under ar- rest will be held until Mr. Emrich’s con- dition reaches such a state that they can be taken before him for identification. “APENTA” THE BEST NATURAL APERIENT WATER Bottled at he TTT HUNYADI SPRINGS, Buda Pest, Hungary. “Gertic. but satisfactory in its action.
