A BIG BANK SMASHED.
The Traders in Chicago Fails with
Enormous Liabilities.
GONE UNDER FOR 81, 100000.
Cashier Tollman Petitions for u Receivcr,
Saying President Ratter Has Loag
been an Invalid and business
Has steadily Decreased.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2.-Hiram McChesney has
been appointed receiver of the Traders bank,
corner of Madison and Lasalle streets, by
Judge Shepard, under petition filed by
Thomas r. Tollman, cashier and stock
holder. McChesney gave a bond for half
million dollars, and was ordered to take
charge of all the effects that belong to the
bank or are held by it in trust.
The liabilities are said TO be $l,OJ0,UO0
Assets at present unknown.
In his petition Thomas p. Tollmnn says
that the president of the bank, Joseph o.
Rutter, who holds most of the stock has for
six months been an invalid and incapable OF
attending to the affairs of the bank.
He has gradually grown worse, until now
he is dangerously sick and wholly unable TO
even consider or consult with the cashier
concerning the business, or the management,
or any of the details of the corporations
business At present, he says, there Is no
hope of the recovery or even the improve
ment of Mr.. Rutter. He Is unconscious ana
has been SO for thirty hours.
Continuing, Mr.. Tolman said that up to the
time of his sickness Mr.. Rutter was the ac-
tive head of the firm. Since his illness the
management has been wholly in his (Toll-
mans) hands, and in spite of his efforts the
business has run down and the liabilities con-
tinue to exceed the assets
The business now shows a steady decrease,
Mr.. Tallman says, and the assets are being
rapidly consumed in the expenses Of the man
agement, while the liabilities are increasing.
The assets he places nonSnally $9s0, 1856 ~,
consisting of cash and bills receivable.
A considerable portion of this is not avail
able and cannot be used readily to assist the
bank under its old management.
1t is believed the suspension is only tempo
rary.
1t was surprise to everybody.

PLEASANT ECHOES,

We clip the following from the
W. c. T. U. Department of the
Mountain Echo, edited by our able
and faithful Co worker, Mrs. Ellen
C. Thompson:
ain spite OF all obstacles, We
availed ourselves of the very kind
in vitation of our worthy w. c. T.
q. State President, and spent five
days Of the holiday season in
Parkersburg. Though confined
mostly to her room, Mrs. Johnson
does not complain Of loneliness, nor
need she, with the comforts of di-
vine grace and the com panionship
Of her interesting family, including
az it does the constant benediction
of her friend, Miss Cynthia Martin.
We tried in our association with
her, to be governed by the COM
mand, Thou shalt not covet.'
Among the callers Of the week
we're two ladies, cousins Of our ia
vorite humorist, Robert J. Bur.
dette. We met also Mrs. Carter,
Mrs. Merrick, and left our good
hostess conducting . meeting of
the Young Woman's Union.
We imagine our good State VIC.
T. U. editor hurrying to make up
for the time she spent in entertain.
ing her guest who will always re-
gard that visit as q brigh. and
beautiful scene in her life"

Mass Meeting.

From the Registers report of the
Wheeling Amendment Mass Meet
ing, We clip the following:
MRS. Jennie McClurkin spoke
on woman's work for the Amend
ment in a very forcible and enter
tanning manner for nearly an hour,
showing by unanswerable argu-
ments the interest of the women
of the State in the passage of the
amendment, claiming that any.
thing that interfered with the hap
piness and peace Of home invaded
her sphere, and if man, her right
full and legal protector, did not de-
fend her rights. she, as queen of
the home, was justified in using
every means in her power for that
purpose. In further defining wo-
mans sphere she claimed that
while men objected to woman's
work in many fields, he had forced
her from her former duties by the
invention Of labor saving ma
chinery; the spinning wheel had
been supplanted by the power Of
steam and even her knitting work
had been taken from her. In seek
ing other fields she had naturally
chosen those that would beautify
and improve her home. If some of
this work invaded mans domain
she was not to blame. She made
an unanswerable defense of wo.
mans right to the platform and the
political field, supporting her ar
gument from holy writ and the
leading minds of the day. She Be-
verely denounced the men who
stood on the fence while the enc.
mics of the home were rallying
their forces to destroy all that was
good and pure in the land. Re-
ferring to the w. G. T. U. she said
it was the embodiment of the en-
thusiasm of the crusade, organized
on a permanent basis for practical
work, and though changed in form
it had lost none of its value.
She was listened to with strict
attention and frequently applauded,
and made a deep impression for
good upon those who were 30 fortu-
nate as to hear her" . ..r

The Lady Objected.

MILES City, Nov. 5.--The most excl.
ting incident in the present campaign
occurred during this forenoon, when
Lawyer Middleton, Democratic candidate
for councilman, was shot at by Mrs.
staehle, who was driven to desperation
by the rumor of an attack upon her
character by Mr.. Middleton in recent
speech ct Rosebud. That gentleman has
been intervie wed and denies any remark
credited to him that would in any way
reflect upon the lady, but passion knew
no reason and she sought him at his of
flee, in which he was in consultation
with locked doors. She could see
through the letter hole where he was
seated, and through that opening she
fired one shot which narrowly missed
him, striking as it did in his chair. The
pistol used was of heavy calabre and the
lady was also equipped with horse-whip.
The language attributed to Middleton
was that the present probate judge was
not fit to preside on the bench, a. he was
weak enough to be led around by tn e
nose by long-nosed little snipe of a
woman. This, however, had been high.
ly colored befure reaching the ears of
Mrs. Staehle, to refe upon her cnarac-
ter. A treaty ofpeace has been patched
up, and no further trouble is anticipated.
