Erightened Him Away.

WAHoo, Neb., Feb. 6.-[Special to the
BEE. Last night the notorious "Hank"
Hall, proprietor Of q saloon on Broadway, at
tempted to outrage the person of Miss
Leonore Perky, photographer, whose studio
is on the second floor of the building in which
Hall keeps his saloon. Miss Perky also has
her sleeping apartment in the same building,
adjacent to the rooms of her studio.
Abont 10 o'clock last night Hall went to
Miss Perky's room and demanded admittance.
She ordered him away. In short time he
returned and again demanded admittance, at
the same time making indecent proposals and
again he was ordered away at the point of a
revolver. A third time he returned and tried
by force to enter her room, and declared that
he would not leave till he had accomplished
his purpose.
Miss Perky then opened fire with n revol-
yer, firing four shots at him without effect,
other than causing him to take to his heels.
The alarm was instantly given and Hall was
arrested and placed behind the bars of the
county jail
Tar and feathers and lyrfehing were talked
of but it is likely the law will be permitted
to take its course. Miss Perky is niece of

Non-Union iron Workers Assaulted
by Strikers at Pittsburg.

PrrTsBuRG, Feb. 6.-When the non-union
workmen at the Star iron works quit work
this afternoon large crowd of strikers and
their friends gathered in the vicinity of the
mill. The negroes, under the protection of a
squad of policemen, made their appearance.
They were greeted with cries of "black
Sheep and ''scabs." The procession started
down Smallman street, followed by the mob,
which steadily increased in size until the
street for square was black with people
At the corner Of Thirty-third street stones
commenced to fly, and it began to
look dangerous, but the officers promptly
turned on the crowd and drove them back
after which they escorted the colored men to
their homes. Three trips were necessary to
get all the men from the mill and the same
scenes were repeated each time. A number
of persons, including non-unionists and on
lockers, were slightly injured, but no one
was seriously hurt.

New YORK, Feb 6.-TSpecial Telegram to

his assertion that Mr.. Powderly had sent an
ambassador to Rome and said that denial
had only led him to reinvestigate the matter
and this had justified him in reasserting subS
stantially the charge. There had been efforts
made to head off the influence of the "Romish
machine" and that the pope and cardinal had
been placated about American society, with
which they had nothing to do. "Now for
few words of myself" continued the ex-
priest. Seventeen years ago there was an
intention to suspend me because l did not

THE METRoPoLITAN,s TROUBLE.
The Directors Meet and Accept Vice
President CAMPS Resignation,

CINCINNATI, Feb. 6.-The Metropolitan
bank directors held q session this morning at
10 o'clock Pending the meeting the payment
of checks was suspended, and long line of
depositors gathered. In few minutes how
ever, the payment of checks was resumed.
The directors are still in session and what
has been transacted is not yet known, ex-
cept that Vice President De Camps resi- igna-
tion has been accepted and Louis Krohn
has been chosen in his place. Bank
Examiner Sanders is at the bank but says
he IS too busy to say anything for the benefit
of the public.
President Means, referring to the stoppage
of payments says there was no order for it
and that he did not know there was any sus-
pension. He supposes the story must have
arisen from some accidental delay at the
payers desk, as no order for suspension was
given.
There was more than the usual demand
upon the Metropolitan bank all day, but at
the closing hours it was only $4,000 behind.
While bankers agree that the Metropolitan
is solvent, the recognized fact is that it could
not meet every possible demand during the
day, so eight of the banks loaned S25. 600 each.
Other offers were declined. The objection
made to Decamp, the retiring vice-president,
was that he had been specializing too much
in real estate.
Later-The Metropolitan National bank
directors passed resolutions tonight to sus-
pend. The bank is now in the hands of the
government. Nlce-IfeSldent j Is. Decamp
has been arrested.
At the close of business to day the di-
rectors felt confident of pulling through
safely. The united banks had given them
100000 during the day and voted $4,000
more to help them tomorrow. This evening,
however, while the directors were in session,
United States deputy marshal stepped in
and arrested the late vice president,
J. r. DeCamp. The charges against
him were certifying to false state
ments of the December condition
| of the bank. This attracted the attention of
the united banks and they at once withdrew
the proposition to furnish $4,000, and said
they would not help the Metropolitan any
more. The directors Immediately resolved
| to suspend and go into liquidation. The
| affairs of the bank were at once
turned over to Government Examiner
Sanders. The next step will be the
appointment of a receiver. The trouble is
| traced to the increase of stock from $500, ,0OC
| to 81 600, 900, the issue being to holders of
| stock at 20 per cent premium, which was
utilized as a surplus fund. A large part OF
| this increase was paid for in notes. The
| placing of stock in various banks gave rise tC
| suspicion, and to sustain its market status
| the directors were compelled to buy in con-
| siderable quantities. The tight money mar
| ket at the close of the year forced the bank
| to carry load that was too heavy and the
| other troubles grow out of reports as to the
| speculation of some of the officers. 1t is saiC
| that other arrests will be made.

against the saloon keepers of this city was
inaugurated to-day by John Hipp, the leader
of the prohibition party of Colorado, who
caused summons TO be served upon Bush,
Morse & Co., of the Windsor hotel, to appear
in police court to answer to the charge OF
selling liquor without license The basis of
the action is that Bush, Morse & Co. have
been selling liquor under license which has
been renewed at the end of every year. The
custom has been, among the dealers, to sim
ply apply before the city treasurer and get a
getting signers to a petition as required by
law. 1t is to this practice that Hpp and
other temperance men take exception, and
the proceeding against the Windsor proprie-
tors is to be made test case as to the legality
of the practice. III the agitators succeed in
winning the case nearly every saloon keeper
in the city will be brought before the courts.
