THE STORY OF A TRAGEDY
Recalled by the Settlement of a Case Tint
Hung Fire 20 Years.

SV euTBs
ESPECIAL rELEaRAM TO THE DIsPArcHf
CLEVELAND, March 3.-"Solomon Wells
versus Second National Bank, of Cleveland
Settled" This record OF a case in the Com
mon Pleas Court, Saturday, recalls an awful
tragedy which startled Cleveland 20 years
ago. At that time Stillman Witt was presi-
dent and Jeptha Buell. was cashier of the
Second National. one of the strongest banks
in the city. Buell. took great interest in the
"Black Friday" which marks dark spot
on the financial history of our country.
Buell. was supposed to have lost heavily.
His friends twitted him about his losses, but
he turned the matter off by saying that he
lost little, but not enough to mention.
Two weeks later Buell. shot himself at his
home on Euclid avenue. Then came rumors
that he was a defaulter for 1000, 900, and
great excitement prevailed in all parts of
the country.
Before shooting himself Buell. wrote notes
to several of his friends telling of his inten-
ton and stating that he had lost the large
amount of money which had been intrusted
to him as cashier of the bank. The bank
officials refused to state just how much they
had lost, and the exact amount was never
known, but the belief is and always has
been that between $500, 900 and 81, 900, 900
was taken. AS portion of the defalcation
consisted of bonds, etc, many lawsuits fol-
lowed. After several test cases numerous
claims were paid. The suit of Solomon
Wells, however. hung fire and there seemed
to be no chance of a settlement until re-
Gently. The result was that the plaintiff
got just what he asked for in the original
petition,

ANOTHER SITE TO GIVE AWAY,

A Location Offered Free for n Lawrence.
vile Branch Library.
The Chief Of the Department of Public
Works, E. M. Bigelow, was seen yesterday
afternoon by gentleman named Trevilli,
who wished to donate site for the Law
renceviIle Branch Library between Forty
second and Forty-third streets, on Penn
avenue. The conversation was animated,
but short, and ended in the statement by
the Chief that. had ne any choice in the To-
cation of the branch library, it would be
placed in the grounds of Arsenal Park.
The old gentleman who made the offer
withdrew either donating his property or
appropriating that contiguous to it,
The offers which daily arrive at the Office
of the Department of Public works would
cover, it is estimated, nearly one-fourth of
the city limits, varying from small chunks
of the point to large areas in the East End: :
and although the time is deferred for cor
sidering the location of the central SITE it
seems to only open the gate to fresh offers
and a wider range of terms and plans, from
q donation, as in some cases proposed, to o
sale of ground at Is per cent advance.

ANOTHER CEMETERY IN HOMESTEAD.
Father Bullion Purchases Ten Acres of
Ground for $4,000.

Rev. Father j. j. Bullion, of Homestead,
has purchased ten acres of ground for So, 900
for new cemetery. A plan has been made
and lots are already being sold. The ground
will not be fenced in and blessed until next
summer. The growth of his congregation is
now so large that the pastor needs an assist
ant priest.
Father Bullion has been at Homestead
seven years. When he went to the place
there was not one church in the town, but
since then he has built two churches, which
are only temporary. One of the leading
members of his congregation, named John
Kenny, has already donated $1,000 cash
toward new brick church.

Indigestion

Is not only distressing complaint. Of
L itself, but, by causing the blood to
become depraved and the system en-
feebled, is the parent of innumerable
maladies. That Ayers Sarsaparilla
is the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, OF BrockWSy
Centre, Mich
oliver complaint and Indigestion
made nv life a burden and came near
ending nv existence. For more than
four years I suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to a skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about. All
kinds of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could be digested at
ali. Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief. Nothing that I took seemed to do
any permanent good until commenced
the use of Ayers Sarsaparllla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa-
rilla I could see an improvement in my
condition. My appetite began to return
and with it came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength i'm
proved each day, and after a few
months of faithful attention to your
directions, I found myself well
woman, able to attend to all household
duties. The medicine has given me q
new lease Of life."
