On Friday. the 10th inst, the Lee Base
Ball Club of Texas, which came TO NAV the
Westminsters for the Championship Of the
state, was beaten swiftly and thoroughly by
score of % to 0, being the fourth time this
year that the Westminsters have shut out an
other club: The visitors, having formed an
estimate of their own strength from having
won every game this year, had evidently no
idea of what they had to deal with here, and
the cool and steady fielding and heavy batting
of the Westminsters demoralized them.
Their short stop, Carney, and first baseman,
Fidler, played a fine game, the latter putting
out 10 men with no errors. Greer and Mich,
olas excelled in fielding, Greer's foul fly
catch and Longs throw to first being, with
the batting of Long and Byers, the features
OF the game. Clabaugh's trick at first base
also deserves mention. The score follows:

THE CRASH OF THE BANKS.
Undue Haste in Closing Their Doors
Charged Against the Officials.

Charged Against the Officials.
NEW YORK, May Attachments
against the property Of Ferdinand Ward,
on the ground that he has abscOnded with
intent to defraud, have been procured
from Judge Donohue by Hotchkiss q
Burnham, VIM. Heath & Co., and Theo.
Wilson 81 Co., who have sued Grant &
Ward for small balances. Mr.. Ward was
at the Office of the firm this morning.
All information concerning the failure
of the Marine Bank is refused by the Off
cialS of that corporation, and Bank EX-
aminer Serbia is singularly reticeht.
Manager Camp, of the clearing house,
expresses his opinion more freely. He
says that there are no new developments
in the Marine Bank failure, but the stu
alton is not nearly so bad as at first re-
ported. 1t is now freely asserted that
President Fish exhibited undue haste
in closing the doors of the bank,
and that the directors would not have
consented to his action had they been
made aware of the exact status OF affairs.
The same is said to be true of the Grant
IL Ward failure, which, it is claimed
was brought about by Mr.. Ward remain
ing away from business and practically
losing his head.
Capt. Ambrose Snow, one of the direc-
JOTS anu Nlce-ITeSlueuJ Oh Jle Marine
Bank, said to-day that an informal meet
ing of the directors was held to-day in the
private office of President Fish. to talk
over the situation, at the request of the
board. Mr.. Fish was present and made
statement, giving his version of the
causes which induced him to close the
bank yesterday. Mr.. Fish said that he
had come to the conclusion that Ferdi-
nand Ward had deceived him and was an
unmitigated scOundrel, and, finding
that his defalcation amounted to $780,
600, he had decided that the best
thing to do was to close the bank and
save it from utter ruin. He also said that
he and other members of his family owned
three-fOurths of the stock of the bank.
Capt. Snow said that the directors had
always had the greatest confidence
in President Fish's honesty and integ-
rity, and they still held to the
same opinion. They only regretted that
Mr.. Fish had not called a meeting
of the board, and submitted matters to
them before he SO hastily decided to close
the bank. They thought that he lacked
good judgment in taking such hasty
action. 1t was stated also that the bank
would probably soon be able to resume
business. and that none of the depositors
will lose a cent,

PHILADELPHIA, May THE Record
tomorrow will say that brief notices of
the death of Professor Samuel D. M. Ross
and the absence of the date for the OBJ
seqiues was explained this evening by the
departure of the body in charge of rela-
tives for Washington, Pa, where
the body of the distinguished surgeon
will be cremated. The family
of the Professor had, during his lifetime.
frequently been apprised of his wish that
his body should be cremated and the ashes
placed in the family vault at Woodland
Cemetery in this city. Once he remarked
to friend that he did not desire his body
to lie in the ground and rot and have some
one come along one hundred years from
now and find his jaw-bone. He advocated
cremation upon general hygiencc princi-
pies, as being of greater benefit to the
living rather than having hundreds of
bodies decOmpOsing in the ground. Re-
ligious services were held at the residence
of the deceased this evening, and the body
was then placed upon the 9:10 O'Clock
train tonight for. Pittsburg, whence 1t
will be taken to the famous Lemorne
crematory at Washington, Pa. If possi-
bic, the incineratiOn will take place to-
morrow afternoon or evening.

WAsHINGTON, May before the court
Of inquiry investigating the charges
against Judge Advocate General Swain,
banker Bateman to-day explained his
former indefinite charge against Gen.
Swain of misconduct in connection with
duplicate vouchers for army officers pay.
He says that upon Gen. Swaim's request
he advanced Col. Morrow 81, 800 upon pav
vouchers for four months, and afterwards
learned that three similar sets OfYOuchers
covering the same months had been cash
ed by other bankers, MI Bateman's
security being only a fourth mortgage.
He said that Col. Morrow had got into
difficulty by speculation and dissipation,
and had raised about $4,000 by duplicat-
ing pay accounts for five months, for
which his total pay was less than $1,000,
and that Gen. Swain was aware of these
lacts when he sent Col. Morrow to him
(Bateman) for the last loan. Mr.. Bate
man also said that Gen. Swain had loan
ed Col. Morrow $l25, and that he had
told the bankers interested in Col. Nor
rows pay that if they did not pay him
Col. MOrrow's debt he would so squeeze
Col. Morrow that none of them would
receive any of their money. He said
that when Col. Morrow's transactions
became generally known among bankers
and his brother officers an arrangement
was made by which duplicated vouchers
were to be gradually redeemed, Col. Nor
row in the meanwhile being sent to a
frontier post to recuperate his finances.
The Judge Advocate OF the court an
nounced that he should push this matter
further, as he did not believe Mr.. Bate
mans direct statement covered all the
facts in the case. These hitherto indefi-
mite charges seem to be regarded as of
greater Importance than those Hpon which
