A BANK GOES UNDER.

The Wall Street Institution Suspends-
 Cashier Dickenson is Absent and so
 is n Quarter of a Million.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-Wall street had a small earthquake of it's own to-day, when the news came that the Wall street bank had burst, although it's clearances went through all right on Saturday. But this morning it's doors were closed, and the following unsign- ed notice was posted on them: Owing to irregularities the part of the cashier, this bank will remain closed until matters can be investigated. A few minutes after the fail ure became known, crowds of brokers, clerks and office boys stood on the sidewalk in front discussing the failure A man who claimed to be depositor broke excitedly into a group of brokers and exclaimed, 'EFor heavens sake what is the trouble? Is my money gone?'' Don't know what's the trouble except that Dicken son, the cashier, is said to have gone to join Enc and Hinckly in Canada" replied broker. Representa- tives of the press were not admitted to the bank, and there was such confusion inside among the officers that they were unable to say when an official statement would be made public. President Thomas w. Evans said that the depositors would all be paid in full, but that the probability was that the stockholders would lose everything. No authoritative information could beobtained as to the exactness of the irregularities. One report said Cashier J. P. Dickenson had al lowed securities that had been hypothecated for loans to accumulate until they were prac- tically worthless. Another was that he had helped himself iberally to the funds of the bank and left worthless securities collateral. Dickenson is son-in-law of Charles Timpson, vice president of the bank MT. Timpson said: 'I can't tell you anything about the trouble now, until matters are strengthened out" One of the banks officials is authority for the statement that the total loss is $25O, 900. President Evans is quoted saying that all the depositors would receive about 50 per cent. of their deposits before the end of the week. The capital of the bank is $500, ,000. Every dollar of it will be swept away The bank arranged to have it's clearances made through the Fourth National bank, to which the latter's president, o. D. Baldwin, only consented after many interviews. Dicken- son is said to have skipped on Friday last, although it is said that he was seen driving on Saturday.

Shell Fish Commissioners.

The ownership of about five acres of oyster ground in East Haven is in dispute between James Goodsell on one side and John L. Bradley and T. B. Robertson on the other. The shell fisheries commission heard the case yesterday. MT. Goodsell claims the ground as part of tract designated to him by the town of East Haven some nine years ago Messrs. Bradley and Robertson dispute the correctness of one of his boundary lines, which adjoins a tract of theirs, and say that they planted the oysters on the ground in controversy they should at least have some benefit from them. It was testified in the heari ng yesterday morning that the ground is so thickly covered with oysters that a steam dredge could take up 300 bushels an hour on it.

INFORMER CASEY,S CONFESSION Raises a Bitter Feeling Against SO-
 HcitOr Bolton.

DUBLIN, Aug. 1.-The Archbishop of Tuam in an address at Clonbur to-day said that if Casey's recent confession were true the authorities were sharers in the guilt of Joyce's blood. He urged that those still in prison for the Maamtrasna murders should be released at once and that Joyces family should be compensated for at least the loss of his services. Casey's confession continues to excite an unequalled sensation. It is be- lieved the life of Crown Solicitor Bolton is unsafe owing to the exposure of his bribery of Casey to testify falsely. A United Press correspondent called upon MT. Bolton this evening and was affably received. The so- 1icitor made complete denial of the charge that he solicited the evidence of Casey and his brother-in-law Phi1bin. On the contrary they had volunteered their testimony and he had not even seen them at the time. He also stated that on November II, 1882, Casey wrote him offering to inform in the cases then pending but he refused to accept his testimony until authorized to do so by the government. The whole statement, MT. Bolton concluded, was a tissue of black lies prompted by persons who kept themselves in the background.

IN MEMORY OF sTELLmACHER.
The Au,trian Government Arraigned
 for His Execution.

NEw YORK, August 1.-The groupe
 New York" of the International Labor asso- | cation held a meeting at Germania Assem- J bly rooms this evening to denounce the ex e. cution of Hermann Stellmacher, who was hanged in Vienna on Friday last for the murder of Banker Lienhart and a broker named Eisert. The large hall in the building was crowded to it's utmost, many ladies being present. Over the platform hung red flags draped in mourning with Stellmacher's name in the center. On the opposite side of the hall was the word liberty" in large letters, and on either side were the following notices in red letters: 'FAbolish war by organizing, D "Our object reorganization of society inde- pendent of priest, king, capitalist or loafer." /" Victor Drury, well known socialist, pre- sided, and in opening the meeting said they had assembled to pay that duty of respect which is owing to every unfortunate citizen who leaves this city by consequence of death and for one of million that had been assassinated by the house of Hapsburg. For Stellmacher, he said, was the victim of military and police persecution which had finally caused his death and which in the end would prove the death of the house of Hapsburg and all oth- CT tyrants, and, he continued, the dagger of Stellmacher was the first thrust that would be made to that end. Speeches were also made in Bohemian by M. Becht and in German by John Most, both of whom denounced the Austrian government for executing Stell- macher. The following resolutions were read and adopted amid great cheering:
 Resolved, That the assassination of Stell macher by the Austrian government is crime which has it's origin in the system of military terrorism and police spy debauch- cry with which the country is cursed.
 Resolved, That in the opinion of this meet ing such deeds perpetrated by Stel1- macher were not only defensible but justif- able and must continue to manifest them selves until every crowned head of Europe has followed the head of Louis XVI. Viva Ia rennhlin nniverselle

Cleveland Exonerated by Indepen-

BUFFALO, Aug. 11.-A local committee composed of John H. Cowie and fifteen other Independent Republicans of this city have issued address to the Independent Repub- icans of the nation giving the result of their investigation into the Cleveland scandal. They say they have felt it their duly to ex- anime these stories in detail, not to satisfy themselves but others. They say that the general charges of drunkenness and gross i'm morality which were made against Governor Cleveland are absolutely false. His reputa- tion for morality has been good. The charge that he has recently taken part in a drunk ken and lieentious debauch in Buffalo on the casion of visit here is entirely false. The facts of the Halpin case show that she was not seduced and that the allegations respect ing her abduction and ill-treatment are en- tirely false The circumstances occurred years ago The woman in question was at that time thirty or forty years old and had two children The two e1ergymen whose profession has been evoked to give weight to these charges have no personal knowledge of the facts.
