Institutions Like a Herd ' of Wolves. The Trouble Precipitated by the Fail- ure of the Fcur Banks in M none:po'is ST. PAUL, Mix~., Jan. 4.—The Ger- mania, the Allemania and West Side banks, all doing as State banks, to-day closed their doors. The failure of the Bank of Minnesota December 23 caused unrest in the community and de- positors withdrew their money from these three banks to such an extent that they were forced to the wall because they haa not funds enough immediately in band to meet the demands made upon them. Each of the three is solvent and in time will reorganize as soon as the money for the purpose can be got into use. The di- rectors of the Germania met this evening for that purpose. The Germania is in the hands of P. M. Kerst as assignee and the other two are in the hands of Bank Ex- aminer Kenyon. A receiver will be ap- pointed for the Allemania to-morrow and | the West Side Bank will try to make ar- rangements with its creditors and reopen without the intervention of a receiver. The last official statement of the mania showed total resources of §$1,6: { this oeing in the building and $975,420 in loans and discounts.

This was the situation until De- | cember 22, when the suspension of the Bank | of Minnesota occurred, following immediately | upon the falure of the Bank of Illinois, which came as unexpectedly as a stroke of lightning in midwinter. Four Minneapolis banks fa ing increased the panicky feeling, but I did not fear any disastrous outcome until it be- came apparent that certain evil-disposed per- sons maliciously directed their attention to- ward the Germania Bank, circulating false | and manufactured reports regarding it from one end of the city to the other with sys- tematic persistency 1 hoped from d ment would sub judgment, but it tack became bo; After the close of business on Sa ¥ d of January, we found that the withdrawal of deposits had assum ch proportions that we did not feel justified in receiving deposits or paying out oney without submitting the condition of affairs to the dizectors. Accordingly we called a meeting of the board for that purpose. We had paid off nearly 000 deposits in nine business days, and kept on hand and in re- serve something over $100,000 in cash, which shows the unreasonabieness of the panic. The directors, after having weighed the matter in all its hearings, came unanimously 10 the conciusion that the action of the officers had been correct, and that however deplorable it might be, it became their duty for the pro- tection of all depositors and other creditors to ‘close the doors end to place the assets o the bauk in charge of an assignee. v that the excite- room for better The at- The Allemania closed a few minutes be- fore 11 o’clock, with a crowd of depositors clamoring at the paying-teller's window for their money. President Scheffer said: Our suspension isdue to the large number of witharawals this morning and the fact that most new depositors witnheld their deposits. The news of the suspension of our neighbor, the Germania, precipitated the run here, and of course with all the deposits being withheld and the fact that there was & steady with- drawal we could not stem the tide.

When the Bank of Minnesota failed the businéss men fortunately were not much ais turbed and few were caught. The feeling o ease returned shortly and might have con- tinued had it not been for the failure of the | four banks in Minneapoiis. Then the panicky | feeling came back and was intensified by the fact that the business men then caught it very | badly.

In the meantime the news of the suspension | of the Germania and Allemanis spread through West St. Paul and our depositors be- gen scrambling in and demanding their | money. We could not refuse and in a little while there was a good-sized run on the bank. We were obliged to close up to save ourselves. The official statement of the West Side | Bank made to the State Bank Examiner on December 17 is as foliows: Total assets, $217,01417; of this $150,000 was in loans | and discounts and $23,000 in real estate. | ‘The total deposits wers $113,546.

A PRINCE OF SWINDLERS. | Wanted in Many Cities of This Country for Either Forgery, Embezzie- ment or Bigamy. CHICAGO, I, Jan. 4—"Count” Ging- | lemo J. de Juster, alias Dr, Juster, alias Frank S. Rhodes, said to be a Rouma- nian of cxcellent family, and who pro- | fesses to be studying dentistry in America, was arrested in this city to-dey. He is said to be wanted for several offenses in Buffalo, N. Y., New York City, charges for which he is wanted in various | parts of the country, and itis believed that he has obtained in all about $100,- 000 by his alleged illegal methods since he came to America three years ago. The prisoner is a young man dressed in | the height of fashion, and has stopped at the best hotels in all the cities he has vis- ited. In Chicago he has lived at the Auditorinm Annex and the Lexington, and posed as a man of means. | He claims to be a member of a noble Roumanian family, and came here three vears ago to study dentistry. He came to Philadelphia first, where he is said to have attended the medicul school of the university, and aiterward entered the Harvard dental school. Itis alleged he fled from Boston after he had been detected in a number of swindling schem He then went to Brooklyn, where he married the daughter of a prominent jeweler of that city. Boon afterward, it is said, he went to Buffalo and there, after cultivating an ac- quaintance, obtained money to the ex- tent of §1500 by fraud. He again returned to his wife in Brooklyn and lived in style. He was i trouble there a number of | times, and it is alleged bis wife paid out nearly $2000 to keep him out of jail. He deserted his wife August 21 of last year and went West. Leadville was his first stopping-place, and he is charged with swindling a ci zen of that place out of a house and lot. He is also wanted there on several charges of forgery. Going from there to Denver he con- tinued his fraudulent methods. While there he assumed_the name of Frank S. | Rhodes and posed as a gentleman of great wealth. He fled from that city and came to Chicago. Soon after his departure Chief of Police Russell of Denver learned of the numerous ndles he had perpetrated, and sent his description to the police of this city. Here, while in dire distress after having been ejected from two prominent hotels for non-payment of bills, he met Belle Cutts, who the police say is an ad- venturess, and a marriage with her soon followed. He owed a number of liverymen, and warrants had been sworn out for his arrest. | He pawned his wife's jewelry and seal- | s from the head of the river, skins to pay his annoying debts. He then concealed himself in a house on Wabash avenue to escape the police, and borrowed considerable money from his landlady, promising to return it to ber when he got his remittance from the old country. After his arrest he did not deny his identity and was locked up. The Brook- | Iyn authorities were immediately | notified of the capture and o tele- | gram was received from P. H. Corr of the Corr Detective that city requesting the Chicago police to hold the prisoner until extradition papers can be secured. He will be turned gver to the Brooklyn authorities as soon as an officer arrives, and will be prosecuted there, it is said, on the charge of wife abandonment. g THE REVENUE-CUTTER SERVICE. Secretary Carlisle Warmly Praises I's Effi- ciency and Shows Iis Value to the Government. NEW YORK, N. Y.,'Jan. 4—A Tribune special from Washington says: Secretary Carlisle has written some com- plimentary criticism of the revenue-cutter serv.ce. In a report on the subject the Secretary says, among other things, that the general and varied work of the service abundantly commends its value and effi- ciency as a branch of the Government. There has not been a similar period in the history of the service, he states, when, with old and badly appointed vessels an- depleted personnel, its resources have been =0 severely taxed as they were dur- ing the year just closed. Yet, with the numerous calls made upon the service, 1t has ably veriormed. important work. in- trusted to it, and an incomparable record | of service rendered is presented. The re- port says: An active patrol of the coast line, rivers and | harbors of the United States, especiglly on the sea, gulf and great lakes, has been maintained, and in the performance of this work the ves- sels of the service heve cruised an aggregate of 307,133 nauticsl milesand boarded and exam- ined 20,25 ssels of the merchantman ma- rine, of which number 645 were reported to the 'proper authorities for violation of the Unitea States cusioms and navigation laws, incurring penalties in the sum of $210,941. 7 vessels, with 694 persons on board in actuel aistress were assisied, the value of the vessels and their cargoes amount- ing to $1,011,807. Referring to the Bering Sea fleet Secre- | 000, tary Carlisle says: The able captains and other officers and the | faithiul crews ot the service, under the skiliful | | direction of theoflicers in command, metevery | | emergency and are deserving of the highest | conslderation and praise. 7This fleet has cruised over 100,000 nautical miles, boarded | and examined 116 different vessels, of which number 66 were engeged in fur-sealing. The Secretary recommends the creation of a retired list of commissioned officers. He also recommends that section 4457 of the Revised Statutes(act of April 18, 1811) be amended 50 as to read as follows: The enlisted men of the revenue cutter service of the United States, who have been or may be wounded or disabled while in the tual discharge of their duties, shall be en- led to be placed upon a pension st under the same regulations and restrictions as are provided by law for enlisted men of the navy, Guests of Los Angeles.

CHICAGO, Iin, Jan. 4—An evening paper prints the following from its Wash- ington staff correspondent: “‘The com- mittee is packed in ‘the interest of the people who control the Pacifip roads, and it is useless to hope for a favorable report on my resolution.” I had asked Senator Pettigrew if he thought the Senate Committee on Pacific roads would make a favorable report on his resolution to apvropriate $10,000,000 to take up the Union Pacific Railway Com- pany’s six per cent trust notes, He replied as quoted. Then he said: “That is pretty strong language. I don’t think I ought to use it. Still, it is the truth, and I shail say it on the floor of the Senate if occasion requires. Idon’t say that every member of the committee is under the control of the road, but I do eay that a majority of the committee is ‘packed’ and will not report legislation adverse to the people controlling the | roads.” “Senator Morgan suggested that the committee sit during the holiday recess. Has it done s0?"” *'No,”” Senator Pettigrew replied, “Sen- ator Gear, the chairman, said that he would have a meeting to consider the resolution if he could get a quorum. But he telis me that he was unable to get a quorum, so that there was no meeting.” *'What are you going to do about it?” “Wait until the funding bill comes up and I will move to add my resolution ay an amendment, unless I get it up in some other way.”’ “Upon what contention do you base your resolution ?” “On this: Suppose you owned a river which received most of its water from tributaries on either side along its course. Suppose some one directs those tribu- taries to another river ranning in the same direction so that your cmi{ supply t would damage the value of your river very much by lessening its navigable powers. Well, take the Union Pacific road. The richest source of its revenue are from its pranch lines. Suppose the business of those branch lines should be given to a rival line, parelieling the Union Pacific. ‘The latter would suffer greatly, would it not?”" “Well every one knows of the large sums of money due the Government from the Pacific roads. Every one knows, too, that the time has come for the Govern- ment to foreclose on the roads. The ma- nipulators of the roads wisho have the Government extend the time of payment | of the money due it. Moreover, the ma- nipulators want not only an extension of time but a lowering of the rate of interest payable to tue Government on the princi- pal. If the Government reiuses to extend the time of payment it will foreclose. | But if in selling the main road the branches are not included the price which the foreclosure would bring would be com- paratively small. ““The prospect of getting such a small price would have weight in inducing the Government to listen more favorably to the proposition to extend the time of pay- ment, even at a reduced interest. There- fore it is not surprising that these manip- ulators should do whatever they can to | bring such an unpleasant prospect square before the eyes of the Government, | especially when by so doing they could | feather their own nests, additionally well, | even should the Government foreclose | and sell the main line to some other than | the manipulators to whom I bhave re- | terred. : *‘Now, how is this to be done? Just this way: In 1891 the Union Pacitic Railroad Company issued its 5 per ceni gold notes for $8,5000,000, or, at least, the principal and interest amount to that sum. To se- cure these notes the company deposited the bonds and securities of the branch | lines, as well as those of the main line. | The notes have been past due for two vears. The interest has been unpaid, I understand. It is now proposed on the part of the owners of these notes to fore- | close upon the securiti issue bonds to the amount of $10,000,000, and issue | $5,000,000 worth of stock, and deliver the | Stock to the people, who take the bonds | and furnish the money to pay these trust | notes. _ | “These securities ard bonds of the | branch roads, given for security of the | trust notes, are on their face worth $93, | 000,000. Their market price to-day is, I | am informed, fror $35,000,000 to $40,060,- Yet it 1s proposed to sell them to | pay these trust notes, to get possession of | the branch lines, and then, should the Government take possession of the main linés of the Union Pacific, divert the branch lines to the Northwestern or some other road which nearly parallels the Union Pacifi¢, and so, besides enriching themselves, greatly decrease the value of the Government property, as can be very easily seen. “This situation seems to have surprised a great manv people. Senator Morgan, who_has given such close attention to the Pacitic roaas funding bill, said on-the Benate floor the othier day that this mat- ter was entirely new to him. My purpose is to have the Government appropriate money to take up these notesof trust and so prevent the nolders of the notes obtaining possession of the branch lines.” “But you say that these notes are past due. How can you prevent the holders foreclosing before Congress could appro- priate the money necessary to take up the | notes even were Congress so disposed ?* “‘Weil, the foreclosure has not taken place ana Congress should take steps im- mediately to appropriate money to take up the notes. The whole scheme is one of the grossest outrages ever perpetrated on the people.’” “What was the debt for which the trust notes were issued contracted for?” “For the notes, I should say. The branch lines were and are making money. They could have paid the interest on the notes, and the principal, too. My belief is that there is no necd of the debt. In fact, I do not believe that any money was paid on the notes. It's all a gigantic fraud; an outrage on the public.” “Do you contend tbat the people who issued the notes are the same who now hold them and the s'curities?”’ “They all belone to the same crowd. They have been robbing this Government for years, and the pity of it is that the Government continues to have anything to do with them.” “You intend to ficht for your resolu- tion?"" “With all my might.”” | Foolish Sirike of Umaha Lopressmen.

He was accompanied by Captain Moore, Joe Vendig and Martin Julian. It was 3:10 o’clock when Dan Stuart ar- rived. He immediately produced the arti- cles. Julian read the terms governing the fight. Filzsimmons objected to the clause ‘“all privileges reserved by the club.” Julian said that if the kinetoscope privilege was sold the principals should get in on any money coming from that sourc, and a verbal agreement was made that all money should be equally divided between the principals. Then Fitzsim- mons signed. Al Smith is named as stakeholder. - CORBE1T 15 PLEASED. Says He .Is Willing to Dowble the Side Bet With Fitzsimmons. DETROLT, Mich., Jan. 4 —When James J. Corbett was informed that Fitzsimmons had signed the articles for their maich at Jersey City this afternoon he expressed himself as being very glad that the match had been finally arranged. He declared that he was ready and willing to fight and that he would surely be on *hand on March 17. As to the amount of the side bet, whether it shall be $5000 or $10,000, Corbett said that he had $50.0 already posted, ana that as soon as Fiizsimmons covered it he would have $5000 additional ready to put up, if Fitzsimmons wanted to go higher. Corbett will close his theatrical season on February 1 and immediately go into active training for the fight. He does not know where he will train, as it willdepend in some degree on the location of the bat- tleground. Corbett thinks he is in almost good enough condition to meet Fitzsim- mons to-morrow, but he says he will work faitnfully and be in the pink of condition when he steps into the ring on March 17. — COUBETT BRGINS TEAINING.

CaL, Jan. 4 — The Fourth Gun Division, Naval Battalion, N. G. C., under command of Lieutenant Morey, spent yesterday afternoon as guests of the officers and sailors of the Monadnock.

THE SICK ARE CURED, The Depression Caused by Disease Is Dispelled. ISEASES, ESPECIALLY THOSE OF a chronic nature, cannot be cured ex- cept by a treatment’ that strikes directly at the Toot of the trouble. The new, origi- nal and marvelous method of treating dis- eases tnat is pursued at the State Electro- Medical Institute is one that never fails. The salutary effects of the treatment on any disease are at once perceived and a speedy and permanent cure is invariably made in every case. 4 The treatment is medical and electrical combined. The peculiar method of ad- ministering these two great curative reme- dies is a new, original, scientific discovery of the Institute. It is used exclusively by them and the most amazing results are accomplished in the treatment and cure of all diseases. X : The Institute is splendidly equipped with every device knowr to the scientific world for administering medical electric- ity, including large Static, Faradic and Galvanic batteries, Electric Beits, Body Batteries and a great variety of other electric appliances that are manufactured and used exclusively by the Institute in their Electro-Medical treatment. By means of these electric batteries and ap- pliances, vitalizing, life-giving electric currents are used to aid in sending the Insttute medicines directly to the dis- eased organs and diseased parts of the body. The medicines prescribed at the Insti- tute are perfect laboratory triumphs, for- mulated from a true appreciation of the medicinal wants of the body; and when these medicines are aided in their recu- perating and healing work by electricity scientifically applied, every symptom of disease is rapidly aispelled, the patient soon regains periect health and strength, while the depression caused by disease is displaced by the happiness and pleasure that is the natural heritage of those twin blessings, “a sound mind in a sound body.” £ If you are sick or ailing, if you want to know what is the matter with you, and if you want to be cured, you should resort without delav to the State Electro- Medical Institute. The Institute TREATS AND CURES Diseases of the Heart, Brain and Nerves, Blood Diseases, Rheumatism, Ca- tarrh, Kidney Diseases, Throat Diseases, Stomach Diseases.
