II isn't at all probable that Mr.. Seney's
Atlantic State Bank Of Brooklyn will re-
sumo. Several reassuring reports have
been sent out for the purpose Of keeping
up the spirits of the depositors, but It be-
gins to appear that these reports are rose
eolored. and do not rest on facts. The
receiver who has been put in charge Of
the bank has awakened to the fact that
there is nothing for him TO receive. He
finds on inquiry that Mr.. Seney's practice
for years was 10 take the money Of the
bank and invest it in securities, and to
lock up the securities in the vault Of the
New York Metropolitan Bank. Nobody
asserts that the securities are not
in the vault where Mr.. Seney
placed them, but what are the securities
worth: They appear to be Of that class
for which there is no sale at any price.
Nobody wants them, and il isn't certain
that anybody ever viii want them. The
depositors. therefore. are not any better
Of than If there were no securities at all.
1t may be that Mr.. Seney's fortune Is not
50 nearly gone as was at first reported.
ard that he viii manage to scrape enough
together to furnish the receiver with lit
tie cash. 1t Is certain the depositors
would rather have a small amount Of cash
than all the banks securities locked up in
the Metropolitan Bank.

IT Is reported that New York women play
draw poker. But let us hasten to explain
that this new accomplishment has no connec-
ton with the custom of draw poker that at
one time made husbands home life so dan
gerOus during seasons Of marital contention.
On dear, no; draw poker Is only a harmless
little pastime hitherto monopolized by the
sterner seX.-Bosson Transcript
AHAN's life has been saved by means Of an
ACCORDION. He was in a sinking ship. and the

4 SINGULAR ACCIDENT.


How Preacher Alarmed His ConEreEa-
ton.
A singular accident occurred recently
II Naples in the Church Of san Maggiore.
where some priests OF the so-calIed mis-
sion are now preaching. The preacher
Of the evening had chosen for his theme
the terT0rs Of hell. TIE church was
crowded. Gear the pulpit stood a figure
of the Madonna All at once. in the mid
die Of the sermon, the lights went out and
the figure OF the Madonna disappeared.
The priest, striking the desk with an iron
chain. cried out: I'VE are falling into
he'll! Look. the Madonna has fed. Call
on her: call. or wee 70 u.s. The panic
was universal; women tainted. children
screamed. and there was a rush 70 the
doors. which were found 10 be carefully
closed. AT the last the police appeared
on the scene and got the doors opened.
and the congregation escaped into the
open air without injury, beyond a few
bruises and the loss q various articles Of
wearing apparel.

The great steamship disasters Of the
past few months have brought the subject
Of the risks involved in ocean travel into
especial prominence. Just now the dan
gers Of the deep are probably considerably
exaggerated, for the loss Of one great ship
With it, living freight creates a great sem
sation, while little notice is taken Of the
thousands that make voyages regularly
and in safety.
one thing that increases the apprehen-
si0ns Of travellers as TO the safety Of the
modern ship lines is the fact that in nearly,
il not quite every instance Of the ship
wreck Of Al ocean steamer the evidences OF
neglect or carelessness on the part Of those
entrusted with the welfare Of the vessel
are strong, il not indisputsble.
The plan Of having lanes or fixed
tracks in the Atlantic for vessels going
East and West, suggested nearly thirty
years ago, and not yet definitely adopted,
Is q good precaution against collisions.
Capt. Gambler, Of the Royal Navy, has
recently advised that underwriters refuse
70 insure steamships unless they adopt
the lane routes. such action on the part
Of underwriters would at once give the
fixed route" suggestion all the power of
law, in fact, it would be more etfectual
than any law on the subject that could be
adopted.
More attention viii also probably be de-
voted in the future to the arrangement
and construction of the watertight bulk
heads now put in all hrst-class sea-going
steamers. As now constructed these
compartments are rarely ever Of any ben
cit, especially in case Of collision, but il
properly arranged and built il ought TO
be all but impossible TO sink vessel I'M
der anything ike the usual circum-
stances.
The uselessness Of life preservers in
cases Of shipwreck has been extensively
discussed. 1t seems that the fewest num-
Der are saved from wreck by their aid
Better than life preservers would be the
dIsciplining Of the crews and passengers
Of all vessels and their thorough instruc-
ton daily when at sea in the wreck
drill. Not only each member Of
the crew Of a ship. but each pas
senger should know his place in case of
accident. and should know how 10 Ill it,
and perform such duties as may deyolye
on him without delay or confusion. The
subject is Of sufficient Importance TO de-
mand a book Of instructions.
Whether the law is made more perfect
or not the insurance companies and the
demands Of the travelling public viii
require all conceivable precautions TO be
taken by the steamship lines, not only to
avoid accidents but to save life and prop
erty. 1t goes without saying that few
companies GENE up to the ideal in this
regard at present. The safety OF a ship
Is considered too much matter Of luck.
