The second Tuesday in January, I'M
der the national banking law, is the
date on which shall occur the annual
elections of directors by the sharehold-
crs of the national banks. State banks
may elect on that day, and national
banks must; This day. therefore, fifty
rounds up the business of the year in a
banking sense. St. Paul is the great
banking and financial center of the
Northwest, and controls the financial
interests of territory larger than is so
controlled by any other American cen
ter. The past year with the st. Paul
banks has been fairly profitable one,
notwithstanding the generally prevail
ing dullness.. Two new banks have
opened their doors during that time,
and the old ones, without exception,
have Increased the amount reported I'M
der the head of surplus and undivided
profits: The semi-annual dividends for
January are the same. as usual, but the
difference is slowed away in the books
in the shape of undivided profits. The

Mr.. Clarke-Yes.

Gen. Baker--What is the exact

THE AMERICAN.
Building and Loan Association investi-
cation at the Capitol.
SOME STARTLING EVIDENCE.
The First Days Testimony Results
FavOrably for The Company
To Be Continued to-day.

An investigation of the affairs of the
American Building & Loan Association
was begun yesterday morning in Gov.
Merriam's private Office at the capitol,
There we're present beside the chief ex-
ecutiYe, Public Examiner NJ. d. KENYON.
Assistant Attorney General Childs, Free
man z. Lane; representing the associa-
ton, George n. Hurd and George |.
Baker, two of the "blg three" general
agents, }. Farwell, and Parker r,
Lackey, former chief clerk, and
assistant secretary of the associa-
ton, and James II. BisbOp.
president. Not much headway was
made, though considerable Interesting
testimony was given by Hurd, Baker
and Lackey. The frst-named witness
took all the wind out of the much-talked
OF contracts that were said to exist be-
tween him and Rundell and Sproat,
and otherwise proved and strengthened
the position of the American. Baker
related how he had severed business re-
lations with FarWell after he discovered
that the latter had been furnishing
garbled information TO the Tribune.
which comprised much of the material
that paper had made use OF for several
roaStS of the American. Lackey, after
admitting that he had been discharged
for certain acts irregular, became some
what ratified in his testimony, and
failed to Suhstantiate, on close question
ing, in several instances, wherein he
claimed the association had not acted
III legal and straightforward manner.
Hurd contributed some very interest
Ing facts in the course of his eXamina-
ton. He said he had been advised from
different sources that this Investigation
had been brought about for the purpose
OF getting in new setof officers. When
asked to say who were to be the Incum-
bents he said that w. ID. Hall was to be
president, G. j. Farwell, secretary. and
Il. b. Walker, treasurer. This was a
startling bit Of news.
Examiner Kenyon was very patient
throughout the examination, and list
ened to all any one had TO say.
The examination was continued till

Warrants were. issued yesterday for
the arrest of three Hebrew clothing
dealers on the charge of keeping their
places of business open on Sunday and
transacting business on that day con-
trary to law. The warrants were is
sued at the instance of Louis Nash, an
employe of Browning, King d Co., and
secretary of the retail Salesman's union.
Charles Llngren was employed as de-
coy, and he proceeded, Sunday last, to
several firms, purchasing goods from
each. Among the firms of whom he
bought are Ziegler Bros, A. Abraham
son and Samuel Frank, all clothing
dealers, The warrants are returnable
at 9 this morning, when the parties
will be brought into court. Some doubt
is expressed in legal circles as to
whether or not the dealers could be le-
gally compelled to close their places of
business on the Sabbath day, provided
they could show that they were in the
habit of closing theil doors on the day
recognized by the Jews as the holy day.

AT THE THEATERs.

TommaSo: SaIyini. the w0rld-famed
italian tragedian, begins an engage
ment at the Newmarket on Monday
evening next, appearing as samson"
in the great Biblical play of that title.
This work has never yet been seen
here. 1t was originally presented dur
ing Salvini'S first American tour, some
sixteen years ago, but the scenic re-
uuirements of the drama initiated
against its production Ell tour. A. M.
Palmer, however. under whose direction
the present tour is conducted, has
given the play a full production. 1t
was originally seen at Palmer's theater
last October and since that time it has
been presented in all the principal East
ern cities, as we'll as Chicago. In the
latter place ''Samson" proved quite as
successful drawing card as "OthellO,"
which has heretofore substituted the
chief work in the tragedian's roper
.toire. Wednesday evening The Out
law'' will be brought forward. This
popular drama was not originally in
'cluded in SalVini's repertoire for the
present season, but it has been de-
manded in almost every city. and. as
ward for the first time this
yeai during the Chicago engagement.
The plays TO be presented in st. Paul
are "0thellO" and Samson" the for
mer Thursday evening and the latter
Saturday night. On the occasions when
Salvini, the elder, does not appear,
Alexander Salvini, his son. will be seen
in a picturesque play of Italian life,
entitled "A Child of Naples" He will
lie assisted by the members Of his
fathers supporting company.
The attendance at the Newmarket
last night was greater than on Monday
night. Tine Water Queen" will be
continued all this week. including Sat

The objections filed som time since by
J. J. Cullen, in the matter of the assess
ment of damages and benefits for the
opening, widening and extending of
Mohawk avenue, have been sustained
by Judge Brill. The damages as
sessed to the adjacent property owners
for the alleged taking Of 9.57 feet
aggregated a large sum of money.
Cullen's benefits upon ten lots were
fixed at S1,5O0, while his damages were
assessed at only S766. The court de-
cides that the strips of lots along the
whole line of the avenue were not taken
by the city, as the lots did not extend
in upon the avenue, and therefore the
assessments were void

press his regret at not being able
to attend. The doctors hoped to have
Mr.. Pillsbury restored to health within
day or two. Gen. Baker took the in
ltlative in proposing Mr. Pillsbury for
the presidency. He said the position of
president of the State Agricultural So
ciety was one of great honor. Fred G.

placed in nomination, though perhaps
not SO well known to the more distant
portions of the state, 10 any one identi-

breaking up of this period of so-callad
hard times, and the coming of more
