Emperor Williams Alarming Condition.

A Berlin cable special of Thursday says:
Intense excitement prevails here in conse-
quence of the sudden and perhaps serious ILL
ness Of the Emperor William while reviewing
the grand military parade recently. His usu-
ally rudy checks were observed to grow
deathly pale, his face fell upon his breast,
and relaxing his hold upon the reins Of his
horse, his body swayed to the right. An in.
slant later, had his condition been unobserved,
the stalwart form of the aged monarch would
have fallen in the dust, and probably been
mangled by the hoofs of hosts OF horses. For
tunately his peril was observed in time to
avoid SO terrible catastrophe, and a score OF
friendly arms were outstretched to save him.
The emperor was lifted from his horse and
removed to closed carriage The emperor's
carriage, surrounded by strong guard, was
driven hastily to the palace, and his physicians
were at once summoned The belief is very
general, Notwithstanding medical assurances
of his convalescence, that he has but little
while to live

France and Germany, and in fact all

tary activity by saying that in order to
preserve the peace, war establishments

of readiness for emergencies. The

the tax-ridden people will protest in
violent and effective terms against the
hypocritical pretences of sovereigns

of the reverse. There will surely be,
at no distant day, either general dis
armament or general revolution.

THE NEW JERSEY TRAGEDY.

Preside1t Eunyon, of the New Brunswick
National Bank, Cuts His Throat in the
Bank Building.
Mahlon Runyon, president of the national
bank at New Brunswick, n. j., cut his throat
in the bank on Monday He was implicated in
the thievery of Cashier Hill New Brunswick
is shaken to its center. Bank Examiner Shelly
has discovered deficiency of over one mil
hon dollars in the surplus cash and securities.
The town is wild Men rushed frantically TO
the doors of the national bank, only to be told
that the business of this institution had been
suspended for the present
The crash in Wall street in May last took the
bulk of Hills stealings. Runyon, although
quite popular, was ignorant of fnan clal matters
and was willing tool In the hands of the de-
signing cashier. At 9:45 Monday President
Runyon drove up to the bank IN his carriage
and twenty minutes later he sent Chief Fitz-
gerald who was in charge of the bank, for
copy of the morning paper in which the story
was told of his completely in the banks down
fall Securing the paper, he went INTO room
occupied by the directors and began to read
A deathly pallor overspread his face, and
he exclaimed: "My God, what will
chief over his brow, he threw the paper into
the lap of Director Stoddard, and exeusing
himself went into the toilet room of the bank.
A minute later the sound of fall was heard,
the directors rushed to the closet and dlscoy-
cred the body of Runyon on the floor, with
blood oozing from gaping wound in the
throat Determined on suicide he had cut his
wrists deep, blood squirting against the wall
and ceiling. The thousands of people outside
were Mortified ''Shall we raid the bsnk?"
was the question which agitated the agonized
;depositors.
The suicide of President Runyon, while
strengthening the testimony in regard TO the
affairs of the management, causes unbounded
establishment to the public generally. Runyon
was a farmer, sixty years old. He leaves
wife and four children. He had been president
of the bank five years, but was not generally
regarded as much of financier, the late cashier
HILL being considered as running the institution
pretty much of his own way, Runyon not ap-
pearing of much consequence. 1t is stated that
Runyon was implicated in the theft of Hill,
and expected to be arrested when he took his
life
Friends of Cashier Hill, who was found dead
Friday morning, when they heard of his sud-
den taking of, predicted thatif he was short in
his accounts the deficit would be up near
million, as he loved life too well TO kill himself
for less No resident of New Brunswick was
more popular than Hill. He was happily mar
ried, but childless. He was one of family OF
bankers his father having been president OF
the National bank when he was made cashier,
while both his brothers are in the banking
business, one in this city and the other in

about one of its carriers. Bushrod
Vaughn, now living in Greenville. At
the outbreak Of the rebellion Mr..
Vaughn belonged to Company D, list

Bull Run he received bullet wound
below the left eye, and was left sense
less on the field. He was taken PRISON
err and was confined in Libby Prison at
Tuscaloosa, Ala, the whole period Of
imprisonment being twonty- two months.
The bullet still remained in his head.
No effort: YVES ever made to remove it.
A few days ago, while. at work on his
hands and knees in his coal-bin, his
right nasal cavity became INSTRUCTED,
as he supposed, by particle of coal.
He closed the left nostril and blowing
hard several times was delighted to
find in his handkerchief the bullet which
he had carried in his head for more
than twenty three years. A collector
Of curiosities offered him $3.50 for it,
but he refused the offer.

Crooked Banking.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 25.-Some astonishing
developments are being made concerning
the failure of Harrison's bank. Bills receiv-
able in the hands of Judge Lamb, receiver
of the suspended bank, is estimated at less
than SO, 900 in value, while the cash assets
amount to $119. In April the banks
statement for taxation showed assets of
1855, $50, and the firm credited with real es-
tate amounting to 81, 900. The deposits
shown by the same report were 1898, 729;
during the run on the bank 1892, 900 was
paid, which reduced the liabilities to about
S466, 900. II is currently reported that j. q.
S. Harrison induced Charles Mayer 81 Co.,
fancy goods dealers, to draw a note to the
amount Of Sll, 900, which Harrison hypothe-
Gated, and for which the firm now finds it
self responsible. II is also stated that Harri-
son secured accommodation paper to the ex-
tent of 500 from w. B. Dixon ~ Co.,
lumber dealers, which he also hypOthecated.
Dixon u Co. are held for the payment, and
this unexpected Indebtedness caused the fail
ure of that firm.
