ANOTHER BROKEN BANK.
THIS TIME 1T IS THE MErROEoLI.
TAN OF CINCINNATI.

The President and Vice President of the
Institution Under Arrcst-Skotch of the
Two Men and of the Causes OF tho
Collapse.
Another Cincinnati bank failurc-and it Is
a shocking bad one. Tho Metropolitan Ma
tional bank of that city, which quotes its
capital paid up" at 81, 900 900, is in the
hands of the United States comptroller of the
currency, represented by the bank examiner,
and its president and vice president are in
Jail! Only constructively in jail, that is, for
they are out on bonds Of 100000 each. And
this is the really sensational feature of the
case; for enough is known to prove that de-
positors will be paid in full, and even stock
holders will not lose more than a fourth of
what is duo them, but the president is the
Honorable and ex-Mnyor William Means,
and it looks just now as if his chances were
first rate to 'do time at Columbus
OF course all readers of current news
know that Hon. William Means was once
elected mayor of Cincinnati on n reform
ticket, mud supported by clements which
made the election n great honor to him; but
this gives but n faint idea of tho shock his
arrest caused in Cincinnati. He WINS much
moro than an ex-mayor, very much more
than q reform politician, n successful bank
president and a wealthy man; he was n
highly respected and public spirited citizen,
u leader in church and society, an active
promoter of all tho schemes in which Gin
cinnati delights, the musical organizations
the great exposition, the centennial celebra-
ton and nll the suburban adornments which
mako tho inhabitants proudly style their
city the "Paris of America"
And yet it looks very much rs if this
prominent and highly respected man Ind
been swept from his moral anchorage by the
WIVES of speculation, and hadl violated the
most stringent of the national bank laws by
borrowing tho banks money far beyond the
allowed limit, and allowing n syndicate of
directors to put 100000 of stockholders
money into real estate spcculations.
Here is the history in brief: One year ago
or more the developments in natural gas and
of coal and iron lands in that region tapped
by the Cincinnati Southern railway excited
n raging real estate fever in Cincinnati. To
men with the fever on big returns on speedy
investment looked ccrtain-they always do
in such cascs-it was only to put tho money
in, wait n few months, get it back with big
profits, replace it and go on as before. No
ono knows how much money went into the
now schemes, as most of it was in the why of
''ilycTsn by men who could afford to risk
something, win or lose. But n syndicate of
directors of tho Metropolitan invested $500,
00Jl 1t appears that they dropped the wadn
(as western spectators sayl just about tho
time the wave of speculation YVES highest,
md thereafter prices went downward, and
only losses showed on the ledger. So about
the time McssTs. Harper, Hopkins s. Co., of
the now dead and gone Fidelity. sunk their
banks million or so in the Chicago wheat
, 1888-03-01

Well, they go into it to mako money.
Rowell, the great English pedestrian. has
made II good thing out Of walking matches;
60 has Fitzgerald, who wound up Clio miles at
the Madison Square, in May, 1884, and
cleared over 5000. Albert has made money
since he began walking, and he will probably
make moro before he gets through. The
training depends on tho man. Rowell used
TO got up early in the morning and spend
most Of the day in walking over powders and
crags in a hilly country. He ate whatever
ho wanted. Dieting isn't practiced so much
as it used TO be. 1t is getting to be n pretty
well established fact now that whatever the
man wants is good for him.
Generally each man who goes into n walk
ing match has a booth built alongside of the
track, where he can eat and sleep while the
contest is in progress. Here his trainer hangs
OCT, and here is where he dives in TO catch a
catnap occasionally. Some Of them have
great trouble in sleeping, while others get to
ilcCp before their clothes can be taken off.
;y,.no Of them sleep while they walk. Strokel,
t4a Austrian, vino, by tho way, is another
funny walker, went to sleep on tho track
during this match and WIS run into by an
UL-gr ped. Strokel made things lively for n
Tow minutes after this.
But to return TO the booths. Some of them
ere models OF neatneSs, while others are en-
trencly untidy. When they are neat there
l. usually u woman in the case. There is as
much difference in trainers Us can be. When
n Tlan comes of the track his trainer will
Strip him and rub him down with a hard
tJwul, aud then to bed. After he has slept
al hoar or 20 no is walked up, and here is
whore tho trouble begins.
Thosc who have difficulty in getting down
10 breakfast at the proper time every morn
ing viii appreciate the feelings Of q man who
has walked several hundred miles, more or
less, and who Is pulled out of bed just when
lie is in full swing. Here the trainer comes
20 tho font He humors, he cajoles, he
sco!ds, he fights his man. He pulls out his
les and starts him off. Tom Cox, the young
freshman, is one of the hardest men TO start
liter IL nap. lie will fight like a tiger.
When hn is asleep he looks like a dead man.
DGrins on Of my visits to the recent match
his friends were holding a bogus wake over
him. Fitzgerald, who is another freshman,
Is like II big baby in the hands of his trainer.
Tie want OF sleep is what tells in these walk
Ing contests. Each man had to cover 525
, 1888-03-01

miles in order to get bach his entrance fec,
and in order to do even this he would have TO
average over three and a half miles nm hour.
Fitzgerald, in his famous walk in 1884, aver
nged over four miles an hour, and during the
whole six days he got but t~wenty-eight hours
sleep. Rowell, who walked coz miles, got
but twenty-six hour sleep. Albert, in his
recent walk in Philadelphia, averaged three
hours of sleep in the twenty-four during the
six days.
1t is a terrible strain, and when n man gets
through he looks more dead than alive.
Naturally, during a contest like this, unlike
the period of trainin., what n man eats has a
good deal to do with the matter, and only the
most nourishing foods are taken. Albert
don't believe in stimulants, and never tnkes
anything stronger than coffee. ROwell, on
the contrary, when he was in this country,
declared that no man could live through a
six days walk without the use of stlmulants.
But what do you think of cold cabbagei
Strokcl is an Austrian, and this is what he
likes. He logged around the track with a
plate of "cold slawn in his left hand and alto
it with the fingers of his right. Strokel, next
to lilly, the Canadian parson, was the fun
niest walker. They called him ''Thc Crab
He has big hands, and he wags them inces-
sanity. One would think, to look at him,
that this ceaseless motion alone would tire
him out, but it doesn't seem to.
Another curious character is Sullivan. He
is a young fellow, and had to be carried out
in the great race of 1884 before it was over.
He was nicknamed the Ghost, and he looked
it every inch. He carried the specter of n
sickly smile along with him, and if he had
been going TO his own funeral he couldn't
hnve presented a more wobegone appear
aDCR
, 1888-03-01

The princes recognition of Sullivan will b.
driven quite out of mind by the latest cxhi-
bition Of his manners, made the other night
at n London theatre. The Prince of Wales
had been on tho race track all day, and ono
Of his horses had won. Then the prince had
diued. He had also wincd. During ono of
the most interesting portion of the play, tho
effects of tho dining and winning became
noisily apparent. Before tho audience knew
that royalty was the offender, there were
hisSas and calls of Put him out" When tho
identity of tho disturbing person was dis
covered, there was general CONSERVATION
Finally the prince and his suite left.
The London morning papers said nothing
about the episode, but T. p. O'Connor, Irish
VI. p, who was present, dished the story up
in great style the next afternoon in his even
ing pepper, The Star. Developments Of n
somewhat interesting nature arc not impos-
Siblo in the near future

thor: went up to the walking match ut
the Madison Square tho other day while it
WINS in full heat. The first thought a man
Inns when he looks down on tho weary wights
IeSg!ng away for dear life is that of pity.
Then he laughs.
Why! Because it's funny.
Just Us soon rs a man sets out to do one
thing, to the exclusion of everything else, he
loses control of himself in everything else.
Every man has so much will power, and he
Is obliged to concentrate it ON the object in
Wow. Tho consequence is that all his little
pcculiarities crop out, and they are sure to
mako the spectators laugh. Parson lilly
was tho funniest Of the lot. He Inns n crook
in his back like an Alpine stick, and he tries
to countcract this by holding his head high
M. His arms stuck out on each side of him
like u pair OF awning rods, and his feet went
ahead OF him at a great rate, but they came
back nearly as far. Perhaps that's why he
didn't 'get there"
well, l novcrir said an old lady from the
country. II thought this ore was a walking
match, but l declare to goodness If they amt
running
That is one of the privileges of Il walking
match. You can run. Yon can oven start
In ut II O'Clock Sunday night and run all the
week as hard MS you want 10.
That is, if you can stand it.
But they don't ell do it. Sometimes they
run and sometimes they walk. Then they
will vary the monotony by snntching up
something TO eat. A cup in one hand and n
spoon in the other, joggcty jog, jogScty jog,
around the track they go, through tho long,
weary hours.
Do they got tircdi
Wen, rather.
There is no more utterly woe bcgone spcci-
meh Of humanity than n pedestrian who has
just lnishcd II six days contest.
And yet when they got through they are
willing 10 do It over again, One would think
that one such trial would be enough. But it

The most graceful man ON the track was
Hart, the negro. He stood up as straight as
n string, and his carriage was beautiful.
Next to him in poisc came Albcrt. Albert
carried a little sponge under his nose most of
the time, slightly tinctured with ammonia,
to keep him awake. In his left hand ho car
ried a black cane, which he says he wouldn't
part with for anything. He has had it for
years, and when he was wrecked in the
steamer ~Narrngnnsctt, in Long Island sound,
some years ago, his little black cane went to
the bottom; but it was rescued and he has
kept it ever since.

three years Of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, 1 was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommendation OF w. j.

to try Hoods ~Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have

De Camp vice president) ............... 10000
OF course the law. does not allow officials to
deal so loosely with money entrusted to them,
and is extremely strict as to their borrowing
of their own bank ut all, but the specific pro-
visions need not be cited here.
When the Fidelity failed and its books went
into the hands of the United States it was
discovered that the Metropolitan had loaned
tho other bank $4,000 to tide over a pre-
vious examination, and returned next day to
the Metropolitan. This was enough to put
United States Comptroller Trenholm upon
inquiry, but his first messenger reported tho
Metropolitan solvent. Its loans and dis
counts We're set at 81, T20,SlL35. But Mr..
Trenholm insisted something was wrong, and
sent Bank Examiner Sanders, who promptly
reported that the bank was not solvent; that
among its assets were SG0O,O 900 of tho
directors notes. He called the members of
the syndicate and told them that tho notes
must DO cashed at once, but only Mr.. Roth
was able to pay in full.
When the bank examiner n been in
charge n week, the panic began, and Metro
politan stock, which had been at las, fell to
10. Then, or Saturday, Feb, 4, nearly $780,.
900 were paid over the counter in one day.
TIL other banks advanced money on some
100000 of the Metropolitan's trust securities
but the hole was too big to fill up that way,
and the directors closed the doors.
So far it appeared but an ordinary bank
failure; but now the United States district
attorney appeared upon the scene and John
r. De Camp, vice president, was arrested and
placed under bonds. Next day President
William Means was arrested and put under
bonds, and so the ruin was complete. Comp
troller Trenholm Inns appointed a receiver,
and the very latest assurance from the gen
tloman in charge of the books is that ''The
stockholders of the bank are the only ones
who will loso anything by the collapse
How much they will lose, we unhappy ones
who own no bank stocks can only c~onject-
ure; but the quotations of the stock indicate
that they expect to get at least three-fourths
of their dues.
