THE METROPOLITAN BANK.

Stockholders Declare That Bank Exam
liner Sanders Action Was Hasty.
CINCINNATI, O., March 16 There was
a stormy meeting of the stockholders of
the defunct Metropolitan bunk. In some
manner it has recently become rumored
about that Receiver McConville would
soon declare a 25 per cent. dividend. 1t
resulted in raising a lively racket among
the stockholders Of the bank. They have
claimed all along that Bank Examiner
Sanders was too hasty when he closed the
bank. They further claim that the OUT
standing paper of the BANK only amounts
to about $3.50, 600, and insist that there is
already OH hand more than sufficient to
pay every cent of money due the deposi-
tors. AT the meeting 2,000 shares we're
represented. A resolution was adopted
calling upon the controller of the cur
rency to permit the indebtedness of the
bank to be liquidated, and asking that
the receiver be removed, so that the va
cancies in the board of directors might be
filled, and the bank resume business.

DOWN AN %EMBANKMENT.
A DISASTROUS RAILWAY ACCIDENT
NEAR BlNeHAMToN, N. Y.

The First Train After tho Snow Blockade
Rolls Down q Thirty-Foot Embankment,
Causing Death to Ono and Serious I'M
jury to Many.
BISGHAMPToN. March 16.-The east
bound train or the Delaware, Lackawanna
& Western railroad, jumped the track
Friday morning about 3 o'clock, near
yestal, five miles west of this city. Three
coaches caught fire, and were entirely
consumed. Two persons are reported
killed. The accident was caused by
spreading rails. The engine, baggage
car and smoker passed safely over, hut
the day coach and two sleepers left the
track, inc rolled In n hemp to the bottom
of a thirty foot embankment. The pas
sengers craw1ed through the windows
as best they could, and the trainmen and
those uninjured assisted in removing the
badly wounded before the fire could reach
them. One man is believed to have been
burned to death. The engine of the train
Was cut loose, and ran to the city for ply
sicians. The passengers were brought
in, after shiyeriug in the cold for two
hours, many with no covering but their
night clothes. So FAR as ascertained
David Gray, of Buffalo, is the only one
reported fatally injured. He was accom-
panied by his brother, and was on his
way to Cuba. Thirteen others were seri-
ousiy, but not fatally injured.
The passengers say the ill-fated train
sent out from Buffalo last night was
loudly advertised as the first through
train to NewYork without delay, because
Of the storm. Several are very outspoken
in their belief that the accident was not
due to the spreading Of rails, but to the
fimsy nature of the day coach, which is
said, on u%ndoubted authority, to have
been old enough for retirement long ago.
The company Is trying hard to settle
with the injured, but q majority decline
to negotiate at present. The train was
twenty minutes late at Vestal, and sew,
eral passengers and IL of the train men
say it was running fifty miles an hour
when the accident occurred.

SuccuMB TO IASslTUDE.

The Representatives of the Brotherhood
on the East and West Lines From Chi
cago Have Met and Resolved, and the
Result Is Anxious1y Awaited.
CHICAGO, March 16.-The joint confer
ence Of the grievance committees OF the
eighteen roads, running east and west
from this city, was resumed Thursday,
and the animated debate was resumed,
and when the meeting adjourned the
mouths of the delegates were sealed, but
it is learned that nothing had been ac-
eral resolution declaring the engineers
and firemen represented would support
the Burlington strikers by every means
in their power. ALI the roads represent
ed, except the Rock Island, receive Bur
1ington freight, and the conservative ele-
ment raised the question az to whether
such means would necessarily involve an
extension of the strike. This brought
up the whole question again, and gave
the advocates of a gradual as well as a
general tie-up, their chance of airing
their views.
H WV w GiitOAo WV n
Thursday night that the conference had
decided to carry the war into Africa, and
tie up several important roads, but the
story was not corroborated by any of the
delegates in attendance upon the meet
ing.
Early in the evening dispatches were
received by Chief Arthur, from Topeka,
and other points in. Kansas, to the effect
that all the engineers and firemen,
of. the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe had gone out. Shortly after
Chief Arthur was waited upon
by First Vice President Smith, OF that
road, and the two were closeted for some
time, and When the conference was over,
| the chief said that the news had given
him great surprise; that the road was
~endeayoring to deal fairly with its men,
and that he feared the trouble had been
precipitated by some unauthorized action
on the part of o sub-otficial, and which
| had placed the men on their mettle. He
| added that he had not authorized the
strike, and that he was telegraphing to
all points on the line, in order to obtain
the present location of the chairman CT
the grievance committee.
President Mutt, of the Atlantic & Pa
| cific, which connects with the Santa Fe,
| called at the hotel, md manifested CON
siderable anxiety regarding the posi-
bility of the strike extending to that
line. Emmons Blame, of the Chicago &
Santa Fe, came in later, and announced
that his road, which is managed by an
independent corporation, was not affected,
and the trouble was confined to the other
side of the Mississippi river.
General Freight Agent Ripley fur
nished to the United Press a copy of a
dispatch, which will be wired to all
points IN that system and connecting
lines in the morning, stating that the
road is now prepared for the first time
since the strike was inaugurated, to re-
ceive live stock, perishable and other
freight in Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Mis-
souri,, Wisconsin and Minnesota, whether
destined for Chicago or points eastward,
as well as receive at Chicago perishable
freight for points northwest and south.
