THE PI1TsBURo BANK FAILURE.

financiers Call ie Case OF Dry Rot
Books not Examined In Years.
PITTsRuRG. Pa, October 13.-Ths Farm
ers and Mechanics bank of s'the s,outh side,
closed its doors this morning. The cause
OF the suspension is not yet known. Tho
bank has capital stock of $4,000. The
announcement of the failure of the bank
caused very little excitement IN financial
circles. 1t was q small concern, aud the
failure has no Significance. Prominent
hnanciers say it was case of dry rot, and
that the bank has been in a shaky condition
for over year.
An investigation into the affairs of the
Farmers and Merchants bank shows things
to be In bad fix. The ledger shows de-
poslts of $10S, 600 and the individual ledger
$3l9,OOO, a difference of $4,000. The
books have not been examined for ten years
and 1t is not known where the money has
gone: 1t is supposed that the bank was
hurt by the failure of the Fidelity bank Of
Cincinnati.

CHICAGO, ILL, October 12.-Judge An
thony rendered decision on an impor. snt
question in accident insurance yesterday.
Mrs. Libbie A. Fairman sued life and ac-
cident association to recover 5000 on the
death OF her husband. The association re-
fused to pay the benefit because deceased
was alleged to have been in arrears for his
certificate and was in q very infrm and
sickly condition and hence bad risk. Mrs.
Fairman claimed that her husband rendered
the arrears of dues to the treasurer, but the
letter refused to receive them. The court
found in favor of the defendant and held
that in declining to accept the arrears unless
Fairman consented to q re-examination the
treasurer was justified. He held that the

Mob-A Narrow Escape
From Death.

CHICAGO, October 9.-The two great street
car systems of the West and North sides are
now tied up. The strike on the West side
began this morning as soon as the last night
cars ran into the barns. For time last
night it seemed as if this new complication
could be avoided and the original strike
settled amicably, but the peace negotiations,
which were conducted in Mayor Roche's
private Office, failed because the company
and the men could not agree on the subject
of wages.
President Yerkes opened the conference
with an offer to correct the present system
of hours as far as possible. An agreement
was reached on this point, but when the
wage question was reached the men insisted
upon % cents per hour for gripmen,
% cents for trail and grip con-
ductors, and % cents for horse
car men. Yerkes offered twenty cents for
horse car men and twenty-one cents for
grip car men. The strikers refused to make
any concession. After much argument the
conference broke up. A committee of West
side car men was waiting to learn the re-
suit and when the failure to reach an agree
ment was reported the chairman said q
strike would be ordered and hurried away.
A committee Of strikers waited upon the
about the retention Of special detectives to
guard the company's barns. These specials,
they argued, we're q menace to life. They
also denied that they were needed by the
company. 1.-THE city police" said their
chairman, 'can give Mr.. Yerkes all the pro-
lection heN needs. While they are around
there will be but little danger Of any serious
outbreaks"
The committee then left. A short time
afterward the mayor sent for Mr.. Yerkes,
whom he asked to discharge the detectives.
he said he would furnish enough men to
protect the company's barns. Mr.. Yerkes
promptly acquiesced in the request. The
specials were supplanted by regular police

colored county officials were shipped to
Memphis, where they scattered, some
going to st. Louis, others to places in Ken
lucky and these gentlemen to this city,
where they hope to find employment.
The story of their expulsion from Cri ten

to Commercial Gazette reporter by Ram

follows:

leave. We have decided it shall be you,

guns cooked, and the leader held in his
hand resignation for County Clerk Fer

without giving US an opportunity Of even
putting on our coats, they took us back of
the Courthouse, searched us and placed us

secured, and DIR. Seth, Henry, Belby,
Fleckehn, doctor and teachers, were
taken out and subjected to the same treat
ment We had undergone. A Masonic

were broken up by these marauders.
Finally We were put in the road and
marched two and two through the town.
When mile outside we were overtaken by
a wagon prepared for the journey, loaded
in and carried to Mound City, six miles
distant, under guard of horsemen. all
armed. At Mound City we were supplied
with steamboat tickets for Memphis. a
guard accompanying US to that point, and
upon taking leave of US the spokesman

They WIN Not Vote That WAY.

No sensible workingmau will be fooled
by the demagogical Democratic cry that
reduction Of the tariff will reduce the cost
of his clothing. The passage of the Mills
bill, which makes an average reduction of
per cent in tariff duties, would. perhaps,
reduce the cost of suit OF clothing which
now sells for $40 to 50 80, but it would at
the same time effect reduction Of : per
cent or more in the wages of every man
who works. Therefore, the man who now
gets $500 year would get but Sl65 under
the Mills bill at most. The price of the
absolute necessaries Of life will not be
cheapened by the Mills bill to any appre-
ciable extent. Clothing will be about the
only item in which the poor man can ex-
pect reduction in price Suppose this
amounts to 500 in the yearly expenses of
man earning $500. The Mills bill saves
hun 81 and reduces his wages by S35.
His net loss will therefore amount to $28.
Does anybody suppose that a man of sense
will vote to rob himself Of S2S 4 year, to
say nothing of the probable loss from being
thrown out of employment.
