BLEEDING A BANK. EtH 3aI
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 100000, 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 collusion with Goldsall and furnished him
with money without proper security there can
be no question. These transactions have ex-
tended over period of nearly three years and
most of them have been studiously kept from
the knowledge of the directors.
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 coun-
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
nothing definite except the appointment of a
committee to look after their interests, en-
ploy lawyers, etc. ..-r!g.s.s5ss.
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 is 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. Ef-
forts have been made to find Golds all to-day,
and they Jailed. He is a jewelry dealer
and it is believed he speculated
extensively in cotton and stocks with
the money procured from Krieger Several
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 prostrated both
mentally and physically. The warrant for his
arrest charges him with embezzling $249, 600
between May 1st, 1876, and May lst, 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. The
building was almost entirely filled with cotton,
and it is thought the fire may have heen
smouldering considerable time before it was
observed. The iron shutters on Pearl street
| side became red hot. The fire ragged 80 iercly
after discovered that four alarms were sent
out. In consequence of tho 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 $50, 900, and fully insured.
The amount Of stock which it contained was
valued at 100000. W.. Black Co. had 1000
bales of cotton and Graffrey & Co. 1000 bales,
Putnam, 1000 bales; Weir, Murphy & Co.,
1000 bales; B. A. Smith, 140 bales, and Fishery
Bros, 100 bales. It is thought tho contents OF
the three top floors were entirely destroyed
The first floor contained 800 bales of cotton and
about the same number of bales of hops. 1t ii
said series of fires occurred in the same BLOCK
of an incendiary character in 1864 and 1867
when several fremen lost their lives. Th,
origin of to-night's fire is not known and th.
insurance could not be learned.
