A CRASH AT NEWARK.
Confidence In Fisk & Hatch the Cause of
the Trouble,

Confidence In Fisk & Hatch the Cause of
the Trouble.
NEWARK, n. j., May 16.-The Newark
Savings Institution, which failed six
years ago, closed its doors to-day. Fisk
& Hatch, its officers say, owe the bank
$1,000,000.
STORY OF THE TRoHBLE.
NEWARK, N. j., May 16, 8 P. M.-The
Newark Savings Institution failed four
years ago, but was taken in guardianship
of chancery, which, instead of appoint
ing receiver, left the board of managers
in control to settle up the old debts and
receive new deposits, which were to be
invested only in government bonds and
similar securities, and which investments
were to be specially for the benefit for
new depositors. The old depositors have
realized 80 per cent, and there is enough
money to pay the other per cent. The
new deposltOrs have been paid an income
of 81 per cent. yearly. The bank makes
the following statement of its present
troubles:
'Ihe purchase of government bonds was
entrusted to Fisk e. Hatch, who agreed to
pay the interest pending the investment
of what money was in their hands. The
wealth and reputation OF this firm natur-
ally led to over confidence and careless
ness about obtaining the necessary invest
ments, and so the thing has gone on till
now. 1t seems that the firm owes the
bank nearly $1,0OO,OO0 Besides this
box of securities of the bank kept by the
firm which ought to hold government
bonds only has in their stead personal
property not of equal value nor so readily
salable."
BITTER FEELING AGAINST DODD,
NEWARK, n. J., May 16, IL p. .M.-Daniel
Dodd, President of the Newark Savings
Institution, was Treasurer of the New
ark city sinking fund, and an examina-
ton of the funds was made today. It
was found intact. There were nearly a.
600 dep0sitors in the savings bank. The
feeling against Mr.. DOdd has been bitter.
Mr.. Dodd cannot be found tonight. His
son was employed with FISK s. Hatch.

me river and HarDOr BIZ Reported,
and it will be Passed.
WASHINGTON, May 16.-The Commit
tee on Rivers and Harbors to-day reported
the river and harbOr appropriation bill IN
the House, and it was placed on the cal
endar. The only material change made
since the recommitment of the bill is an
increase of the appropriation for the Della
ware river from $l50,000 to 5000, 900.
1t will be called up next week. Chair
man Willis has no doubt of its passage
through both houses. He thinks that the
President will sign it. The bill as re-
ported, he says, only apprOpriates about
$S,OOO,0OO for the years work. The
rest of the appropriation is for
work that ought to have been done for
last years session. There is belief that
the Hennepin canal scheme can be kept
out of the bill in both Houses,

other spinners will gradually return to
work. While they will not be taken back
as a body, it is likely that many will find
places when they return.

Nothing could more fOTcibly illustrate
the spirit which now actuates the low
tariff Representatives in Congress, says a
washington special to the st. Louis
Gl,be- Democrat. than the movement which
mas t,sken definite form within the last
dav or two TO make Speaker Carlisle the
Democratic candidate for the Presidency.
A week ago they might have been content
with the Ohio platform, and candidates
who would be a compromise between the
extreme revenue TefOFmers and the pro-
tectlve tariff men. Now nothing Will
satisfy them less than the strongest
declaration in favor of a tariff only for
revenue, and candidates who are
uralterably opposed to a tariff for prOtec-
lion. Mr. Carlisle is now thought to be
the finest and most available embodiment
OF this principle. He is admitted by Re-
publican and by Democratic opponents to
possess great abilities and high judicial
qualities IT is a remark heard almost
daily here at the capitol that no fairer nor
more popular Speaker ever occupied the
char Of the House of Representatives.
These elements of personal popular
ity, coupled with the peculiar ma
ture of the Democratic situation.
and the recent action Of the Kentucky
convention. have cOHspIred to
the Presidential office. The matter has
been discussed very quietly for several
days. and now it is a topic of general
gossip. Few low tariff Democrats could
be found to-day who hesitated to confess
that Carlisle would suit them thoroughly,
a,d not one denied that Carlisle was the
moss available candidate if a square issue
is TO be made between low tariff and high
tariff adYoc ates.
