DR.. Charles Z. Prentss, cashier of the late
German-American National Bank has finally
succeeded in obtaining and fling satisfactory
bond. He WAS indicted with other parties on
several charges growing out of his official trans
actions at the bank and required to give
$4,000 bail for his appearance at court. The
bond was thought to be oppressive still, no
effort was made to obtain reduction. lie has
offered more than double the amount required,
hut, considerable Of the property lying with
out the District of Columbia, was not accepta-
BILE to the District Attorney. Finally the pros
ccuting officer was satisfied, and the bond is as
follows:
Edward Daniels, property In Guntor VA
for $4,000; Byron w. Crane property in
Bridgeport, VT for $1,000; William Lamborn
for $1,000; Nancy K. Prentiss, for $1,000

Judging from many expressions of opinion
heard in regard to these cases there Is IL gen
cral impression that some shirking will be done
and the cashier Of the bank left to fight tho
brunt of the battle almost alone and single
handed.

EARLY CLOSING.
The Movement Among Store Clerks-Mect.
ings Last Night.

The Movement Among Store Clerks-Nfect-
| ings Last Night.
Store clerks Of all kinds are now agitating
tho subject Of early closing. The movement
was started by the clothing clerks, who soon
induced all the principal dealers TO enter into
an agreement to close at eight o'clock every
night, except Saturdays. The shoe clerks fol-
lowed, and largo number Of dealers entered
into an agreement to close at seven o'clock. II
is charged that some of the dealers violated
the agreement and kept open in some instances
until nine o'clock. This caused other dealers
to declare their intention Of opening their
stores after seven o'clock unless the agreement
was faithfully kept by all.
Last night tho Park Shoe Store, on Seventh
street was tho scene Of two meetings. The
shoedealcrs met first and, after rather warm
discussion, made another agreement, the time
for closing being extended to eight o'clock.
Tho dealers charged with keeping open after
hours had various excuses. One said that his
store was full Of customers and he could not
drive them out. Auother, who lives in the
rear of his store, said 1t was warm and he had
to leave his store-door open in order to get u
breath of fresh air.
After the dealers adjourned meeting of the
shoe clerks was held the object being to form
a permanent organization. Mr.. j. p. Hami.
ton, president of the Workingmen's Assembly,
| and Messrs Mcdonald and Clarkson, of the or.
| ganzatiOn committee of that body, were pres.
ent by appointment, aud addressed the meet
ing upon the benefits of organization The
organization was completed by the election of
