A plan to regulate the granting of per-
mits to plumbers to open the beds Of
streets, which will save the city from
suits for damages, is being considered by
the Street ard Sewer Department, the
law committee Of the Oity Council,
Plumbing Inspector Kane and City
Solicitor Turner. For about three months
past plumbers have been compelled 10
give an indemnifying boad for their per-
nlits, much to their dissatisfaction, and
often causing them much trouble 10 give
the same. The new plan will probably bs to
have each pllmbsr give standing bond
OF indemnify, to be renewed once year.

How tne BANK was Robbed.


In Phila. yesterday week further light
was thrown upon tho operations of Mac
farlane, Pieiffer, Work and others with
the funds of the Bank OF America and
the American Life Insurance Company.
Reports of the examiners showed loans
of more than half million dollars in the
names of various clerks in the two offices,
with 1.-THE usual worthless collateral. Twoot
these clerks, Cote and Richard Ewbanks,
formerly OF this city, declare that they
never received dollar, but that the
loans were really made to Macfarlane,
who asked permission to use their names.
They oould not object without losing
their places. All OF these loans were
made within three months OF the failure.
Mactarlane also diew ont $4T8, 600 in
his own name, making round million
dollars. Adding the loans made to
Pieiffsr, Work and others of the syndi-
cate, the disappearance of about 81 800, :
600 can be accounted for. The commit
tee appoins'd by depositors have also
begun inquiries. Mr. MacfaElane had
ssRone out OF town on business" and the
committee interviewed his brother, but
Mr.. Work had returned from Macon and
was interviewed. The result of the in.
quiEies was to make it clear that haefar.
