THE BANK STATEMENT.
The weekly statement Of the associated banks is

their history, and the second within lew weeks
the reserve on hand is below the limit which the
law requires to be maintained. The locking up
operations OF the clique are more visible In this
statement than in any previous one, for the
that while the loans have been contracted less
than two and half millions the deposits are down
about nine and quarter millions. The loss In spe-
Gle s about two millions and in legal tenders about
three millions. 1t is still pure speculation en-
neavor to gather from the statement even an ap-
proximate idea Of the amount controlled and locked

| A YOUNG MAN STABBED THROUGH THE
HEART AND INsrANTLy KILLED
ESCAPE OF THE MURDERER,
A murder was committed in j. Will
liam Drewes' liquor.saloon Williamsburg,
shortly before IL o'clock on Saturday
night. The facts, as stated, are as fol-
lows:
Drewes keeps grocery store at the
corner of First and South Fifth streets,
Williamsburg. Attached to his store
is bar where young rowdies of the
neighborhood congregate, particularly
on Saturday nights. Shortly before IL
o'clock Saturday night, James Whalen,
aged sixteen years, residing with his pa
rents at No. 80 South Fifth street, visit
ed the place, and, going alone up to the
counter, called for 3 drink. A number
of young men, who were in the room
commenced to annoy him for drinking
alone. Whalen, however, paid but little
attention to them at first, took bis drink,
paid for it, and turned to 60 away, when
the other parties became more insulting,
and commenced to push Whalen some
what roughly. He attempted to defend
himself, and, while graphing with one
of his assailants, received stab in the
left breast with knife, the blade of
which penetrated to his heart causing al
most instant death.
Another statement is made to the eff
feet that the parties all went into the
store together. Whalen, a young man
named O'Brien, and another being a
little in the rear of the others. The
parties in advance had passed through
the grocery to the bar counter, which is
separated from the main store by
screen, when they heard the cry i am
stabbed" proceeding from one of the
three who were still in the grocery de-
partment. On coming out from behind
the screen they saw Whalen lying on the
floor near the counter where the cheese
box stood. He had been stabbed to the
heart with the cheese-knife. O'Brien
had disappeared, and it Is supposed that
he inflicted the wound. Whalen died
almost Immediately. The Police arrest
ed those of the party who were present.
They gave their names as VIM. Duffy,
Charles Cunningham, Michael Rodgers,
John Connolly, and Henry Stefels, the
clerk in the grocery store.
