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 at 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
the other bank $780, 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 the
Metropolitan solvent Its loans and dis
counts were set at 81, 100, ,S14.35. 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 100000 of the
directors, notes. He called the members Of
the syndicate and told them that the notes
must be cashed at once, but only Mr.. Roth
was able to pay in full.
When the bank examiner had been in
charge week. the panic began, and Metro
politan stock, which had been at 145, fell to
79 Then, on Saturday, Feb. 4, nearly $780,
600 were paid over the counter in one day.
The 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 has appointed receiver,
and the very latest assurance from the gen.
tleman in charge of the books is that ''The
stockholders of the hank are the only ones
who will lose anything by the collapse"
How much they will lose, we unhappy ones
who own no bank stocks can only conject-
ure; but the quotations Of the stock indicate
that they expect to get at least three-fourthz

Strain of the Shoulder in Horses


Strain of the shoulder, very truly says
Professor Rich in his work on artistic
horse shoeing is generally a cloak for the
ignorance Of the groom or other attendant
upon the horse. It is, in fact, a very rare
accident, though often assigned as cause
for lameness which is really in the feet,
legs or knees. 1t is an inflammation OF
some of the muscles of the shoulder fol-
lowing violent strain, and generally con-
fined to the serratus muscle which sings
the body to the shoulder blade, and which
is sometimes strained in coming down
from q high leap. etc. The symptoms are
a dragging of the toe in the walk, with
deficiency Of action on the trot and a drop
of the head while the affected leg is being
extended, and not while it is on the
ground; hence, when shoulder lamcness is
mistaken for foot lameness, the groom is
apt to shift the blame on to the wrong
foot 1t may also be distinguished by
laying hold of the affected leg and draw
ing the whole together with the shoulder
forward, when, if the latter is affected,
the horse will give evidence of pain, which
he will not do if the foot or leg is the seat
of the mischief.
The treatment for shoulder lameness
lies in rest, bleeding, purging, cooling
balls, with nitra, etc. A cooling diet OF
green meat will also be needful, and all
the corn should be taken away. After all
the heat has disappeared the horse may
be turned loose into IL box, and in another
fortnight he may be walked out with
leading rein; but it should be two or three
months before he is again mounted.

We take pleasure in presenting the portrait
of o typical anti-Anarchist, Pierre Lucas,
the man who shot Louise Michel. In the
first accounts the French papers made merry
over the fact that an Anarchist had shot the
prophecies of anarchy; hut they were in
error. He is not an Anarchist, and justifies
his crime by saying:
'sIwould suppress that party by killing the
Queen of Anarchists-it could not but dis

INSECURE WALLS
OF a Catholic Church Fall, and With
Them Two Hundred People.
One Hundred People Injured at the Lay
ing OF the Conner Stone at
st Mary's.

READING, Pa, Oct. I.
Over one hundred people injured is the
record of the accident which took place this
afternoon during the ceremonies attending
the laying of the corner stone of the new St.
Mary's Catholic church. Previous to the
corner stone laying there was street parade
participated in by all the Catholic societies
of this city, the Knights of St. John, of
Lancaster, and visitors from Wilmington
Del, Lebanon, Shenandoah and other places
Probably 1000 people gathered at the site
of the church this afternoon TO witness the
ceremonies, about 1000 of whom crowded
on the temporary floor, laid on posts and
walls of the edifce. which had been carrid
up one story. Archbishop Ryan of Phila-
delphia, conducted the ceremonies assisted
BY priests of three Catholic churches here.
After the corner stone had been laid Father
Llbichi, pastor of the congregation, arose to
speak and scarcely commenced his remarks
when the newly constructed walls gave way
and one fourth of the floor fell with an aw-
full crash, precipitating two hundred people
TO the ground, distance of from ID to Is
feet.
Men, women and children were thrown in
to confused mass with joists, bricks, stones
and mortar on top. The excitement was n-
tense but willing hands at once began work
extrlcating the unfortunates, many of whom
had to be carried and placed in neighb ring
houses where their injuries were attended
to- and others removed to their homes or the
hospital. 1t was fully Nv hours before the
wounded were all cared for. 1t is said that
several children are still missing. About
25 received serious injuries, having limbs
broken, and others receiving only slight cuts
and bruises.

THE NATIONS SCAPITAL.
Congressional Plans iof the Coming
Week.
Probability that Recess Will Soon be
Held
WASHINGTON, Oct. I.
General Congressional News.

The sarif bill will be taken up in the SEN
ate tomorrow, and Allison will speak in sup
port of it. The Senate substitute bill will be
temporarily laid aside whenever the con-
ferees On the general deficiency bill reaches
an agreement. An assertion was made by
some republican Senators that the bill be
passed within three weeks, and the demo-
Gratis express hope that such may prove TO be
the case. Opinions, however, are pretty
widely entertained on both sides that before
the expiration of three weeks the Senate will
find itself with voting quorum and will
assent TO a recess if in the meantime the
House doesn't send over resolution to ad-
journ. proposition to take a recess and to
reconvene after the election
would probably meet with
considerable favor even as against one for
adjournment since the two or three weeks
practically added to the beginning of the
next session could be made TO advance next
years work materially. In spite of prom
ises and resolutions to the contrary nothing
is expected of Congress until after the holi-
day recess, but with the period before the
recess, practically doubled and especially
if the annual estimates are made ready,
there is little doubt but what the committee
work on the several appropriation bills will
be greatly advanced.

Bostons Inspector of Charities Quarrels
with Members of the Board.

BosToN, Oct. Z.
For some time past differences have ex-
isted between the members of the State
board of lunacy aid charity and Franklin b.
Sanborn, inspector of charities of the board
regarding the care and treatment of the in
sane poor. The board claimed that Sanboru
had no right to take these persons from pub
lie institutions and provide for their care in
private families, and in its position the board
was fortified by the opinion of the attorney
general that Sanborn transcribed his powers
in so doing. The matter eliminated Satur-
day in the passing of an order by the board
removing Sanborn from his position.
Inspector of Charities Sanborn denies the
power of the board TO remove him and re-
fuses to vacate his office until notified by the
governor that the latter has complied with
the law requiring his consent to the removal.
Sanborn says that in the notice of removal
served upon him no charges are preferred; !;
also that according to the laws of the board
his office cannot be abolished by mere vote
of the board. In conclusion he says: ut
will be strange news to the people of Massa-
chusetts that the principles of the commis-
sion in Justice can be set aside at will by the
members of State board or that the laws
and regulations governing the civil
service of this State can be
transgressed in spirit or in letter
in order to punish a State officer,
whose only known offense had been that he
insisted on obeying the laws he had sworn to
support ami would not wink at the violation
of those laws by others, and it would i'll be-
come me to desert my post when the insane
poor to whose injury these laws had been
violated, need more than ever the support
which my Office has always afforded them.

CRUISER BALTIMORE.
Launching OF This Large Vessel for the
New Navy.

PHILADELPuIA. Oct. 6.
The United States cruiser Baltimore was
launched at Cramps shipyard ON the Della
ware at % 7, NJ. today. Mrs. Theodore
ID. Wilson, wife of the chief of the bureau
of construction of the navy department
christened the vessel. Secretary Whitney
was present. There was, notwithstanding
the inclement weather, very large crowd
of on-lookers. The Baltimore is the largest
vessel yet constructed for what is called the
new navy. She has twin screws, and will
be the first vessel so equipped in the navy.
She is 33j feet long over all, her beam
amidships is 49, feet, her main draught is
10 ) feet, and her displacement is 400 tons.
The indicated horse power of her engines is
1900 at natural draught, and 10. $50 at forced
draught, and they are expected to drive her
along at the rate of 10 knots an hour. She
will carry two masts fitted with military tops,
and her crew will consist of 800 men.
With 10000 horse power which she will
have, the Baltimore can make 4j6 knots a
day, using 235 tons of coal. Her bunker
capacity of $50 tons of coal will enable her
to go three and half days at full speed,
covering in that time 1857 knots. She can
make 306S miles o. about the distance
across the Atlantic ocean, in seven and a
half days, IA speed nearly equal to that of the
great passenger steamers.

Burn all but three night. each month.
We append the following letter from Mr..
A. w. McCausland, the well known electri-
clan of Gardiner:
Gro. Il. MAcoMBER, AUGUSTA, ME-.
DEAR SIR: In reply to yours of this
morning, have but few moments in which
to reach the mail, and hence will express my
self briefly
During the four years have been inter-
ested in electric lighting, | have visited many
cities and towns as far west as Detroit and
have always looked over the different systems
of street lighting and am satisfied that the arc
system of electric lights is the best and one
that gives the most general satisfaction.
think that fifty arc lights wonld light the
streets of Augusta to the satisfaction of the
greater part of your citizens without any gas
or oil lights. In fact combination of gas
or oil and electric lights does not work well,
except on some cross ways where the rays
of the arc light does not reach.
The combined effect of 80 many arc lights
(50) would give your streets, that do not
now have any light, great help on dark nights.
Here in Gardiner we find with only 20
lamps, that our suburban streets, far into the
country, are quite well lighted.
Some parts of your city, as with us, have
many shade trees that should be trimmed
so that the best effect may be had from
every light. With 80 lamps you will find
your lanes and back ways well enough
| lighted for purposes needed.
| As far as have been able to learn, there
has been no town in New England that has
tried arc lighting and returned to either gas
or oil.
Yours, respectfully,
A. w. MCCAUsLAsD.

Money Backing their Opinions.
Saturdays Tribune says: "The demo-
Gratis who were offering odds few weeks
ago on the election of Mr.. Cleveland, have
found that there are plenty of republicans
who are willing and anxious to cover any
amount that they may offer. Last week
$50 600 more was wagered that General llar-
rison would be elected President. There is
now lying in the Office of Green & Bateman,
No so Broadway, $50, coo which is ready to
be offered in supporting the opinion that
Harrison will be elected President of the
United States"
Joe Howard predicts the loss of New York
State to Cleveland and Hill.
A Mishawaka, Indiana special says
Mishawaka will probably have the Oldest
man in the State to cast vote for Harrison
and Morton. The venerable Daniel Griggs
was 9S years old last August. He fought in
the war of 1912 and also in the late rebellion
and notwithstanding he has almost reached
his hundredth year, is in good health. He
was always whig and republican, and will
vote for the republican candidates.
One of the Straws.
The following Washington special to
the Tribune is at least political
indicator. "The Harrison and Nor
ton club held an enthusiastic meet
ing last night. A number of applications
for membership were received, and several
new members were enrolled. Five members
formerly Democrats, having a large number
of acquaintances in New York aud Brook
yn, pledged themselves to go at their own
expense to those cities and use their best
efforts among their Democratic friends to
get them to vote the Republican ticket.
This is only one of the straws to show which
way the political wind is blowing.
