NEW YORK.
ALit,le Furry in Wall Street.

NEW YORK June 16-Turner Brothers bank
ers suspended to-day. They have been involv
ed in some western railroad bonds. There is
some shakiness in Wall street. Rumors are
current that another well known brokers' firm
has suspended, but no name has transpired.
The suspension of Turner Brothers was
caused by advancing money to western railway
companies on inadequate securities, the greater
part of which were the Indianapolis, Bloom
lngton and Western railroad Their failure
does not effect the stock market except to be-
get an uneasy feeling,
r. w. Berry & Co.. gold brokers, small
firm, suspended to-day.
Various Matters.
Judge Woodruff of the U. S. Circuit Court
has given decisions in the cases of Luther
Clark and Frank Work against ex-Colector
Bailey, to recover some $4,000 taxes paid by
carrying stock on Margin" and the question
at issue was whether they were liable to pay
taxes on margin deposits the same as banks
and bankers. Judge Woodruff decides they
were not and in favor of the plaintiffs. The
suits, though nominally against Bailey are
really against the Government and are test
cases. This decision will draw some hundreds
OF thousands from the Treasury.

bequeathes his property to his family.
