BLEEDING BANK.
ST.. LOUIS, May 26.-Mr. Dierberger assignee
of the Broadway savings bank, has discovered
in the private drawers of J. P. Krieger, Jr.,
cashier of that institution, papers in the form
of checks, drafts, etc. which conclusively show
that Krieger and Meyer A. Goldsall have been
privately connected in the use of funds of the
bank, and that Goldsall is indebted to the bank
about $500, 600. the recovery of which is very
doubtful. Similar papers were found in
Krieger's safe at his fathers residence, where
he lived. To what particular use Krieger and
Goldsall put the money obtained from the
bank, Or whether Krieger derived any benefit
from it does not appear, but that Krieger was
in collision with Goldsall and furnished him
with money without proper security there can
be no question. These transactions have ex-
most of them have been studiously kept from
the knowledge of the directors.
sURRENDERs HIMSELF.
j. P. Krieger, Jr., for whom warrant was
issued Saturday, gave himself up this morning
and was put in Jail pending the procurement
of bonds. He spent Saturday night with his
mistress in town and Sunday went to the corn-
try and spent the day and last night with
friends of one of his bondsmen, who persuaded
him to surrender to the authorities. The meet
ing of depositors this morning resulted in
committee to look after their interests, em-
ploy lawyers, etc.
ST.. LOUIS, May 26.-No effort has been made
to procure bail for J. p. Krieger Jr. and it is
probable none will be for a day or two. In
fact, it is thought he ia much better off. in
Jail than out, as the feeling against him by de-
positors IS very strong, and could he be got at,
personal violence would no doubt result. Ell
forts have been made to find Gold.all to-day,
and they tailed. He is a jewelry dealer
and it is believed he speculated
extensively in cotton and stocks with
attempts were made to interview Krieger to-
day, but he declined point blank to see re-
porter and give any information touching
either himself or the affairs of the bank. He
is very nervous and greatly FRUSTRATED both
mentally and physically. The warrant for his
arrest charges him with embezzling $249,000
between May LIST, 1876, and May LIST, 1879.
LARGE COTTON FIRE.
New YORK, May 26.-Fire broke out this
evening in the storage warehouse, corner Of
Bridge and State streets, leased by John s.
Richards, and owned by j. Stewart. Tue
building was almost entirely filled with cotton,
smouldering a considerable time before it was
observed. The iron shutters on Pearl street
side became red hot. The fire ragged 40 fiercly
| after discovered that four alarms were sent
out. In consequence of the bales Of cotton
being packed closely up to the windows very
little effective work could be done from the
streets. The whole interior of the building
| seemed like furnace. Four workmen were
on the top floor when the fire broke out, but
succeeded in making their escape by sliding
down rope to the sidewalk. The building is
said to be worth $4,000, and fully insured.
The amount Of stock which it contained was
| valued at $500, 600. W. Black d Co. had l, 00(
bales of cotton and Graffrey d Co. 1000 bales
Putnam. 1000 bales; Weir, Murphy & Co.,
1000 bales; B. A. Smith, 40 bales, and Fishery
Bros, 100 bales. 1t is thought the contents Of
the three top floors were entirely destroyed
The first floor contained 800 bales of cotton anc
| about the same number of bales of hops. 1t il
said a series of fires occurred in the same blocl
of an incendiary character in 1864 and 1867
i when several firemen lost their lives. Th
origin of to-night's fire is not known and tn
insurance could not be learned.
BUSINESS FOR JUDGE LYNCH.
NASHVILLE, May 26.-Saturday and yesterda,
fourteen men, four whites and ten blacks, wer
arrested near Murfreesboro on the charge 0
having been guilty of burglary, robbery, arso
and murder. Great excitement has since pre-
vailed and things have looked rather storm
for the prisoners the indignation of the pull
lie having been stimulated by the confessio
of John Hall and Burrill Smith, that the
were together at the killing of Major Pug
about a week ago. Things have taken such
serious turn that in answer to dispatches frol
the authorities, Gov. Marks went to Murfree
boro this afternoon, and tonight delivered
him in an honest, earnest effort to uphold an
} enforce the law.
