Proves a Bad Investment.
MEADvILLE, Pa, Dec. Sat 8 o'clock
this morning the following notice was
posted on the doors of the banking
house of Delamater & Co., this city:
Bank closed. Delamater & Co. have
maae an assignment for the benefit of
their creditors. V. NJ. DELAMATER,
Dec. >, 1890. Cashier"
The firm is composed of George B.,
George w. and L. A. Delamater, and
the assignees are George w. Haskins
and John 0. McClintOck, attorneys. of
this city. The assignment will not
seriously affect the other banks, and
there has as yet been no run on any of
them, although the residents of the city
are panic-stricken. The liabilities are
estimated at 100000. A well-known
tnancier said to the United Press re-
porter: ~ know whereof l speak when
L say that the failure is very diSas-
trouS one.''
PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 5.-State Treas
urer Boyer. who was in the city to-day,
when questioned regarding the report
that the banking house Of Delamater &
Co.. at Mea'lville, whose suspension was
announced to-day, had on deposit $780,
600 of the states funds, stated tnaJ the
report was true but that the state would
lose nothing, as the deposit was covered
by bond. Mr.. Boyer said he found the
deposit there when he took the Office of
treasurer and has since allowed it to re-
main. Mr.. Boyer added that there is
no designated state depository. The
treasurer can deposit the state funds
where he pleases, his bondsmen being
responsible. There are thirty deposito-
rIes at present, he said, and the Della
mater bank was only one of the thirty.
Politics is supposed to be responsible
for the failure.

THE MILWAUKEE.
The Road Not Making a General
Reduction of Wages.

A sensational article appeared in a
Minneapolis afternoon paper yesterday
stating that strike on the Milwaukee
road, If not imminent. was probable.
The article refers to a disagreement be-
tween the Switchman's Mutual Aid as
soclation and the Milwaukee. which oc-
CURED some three months ago, and
which was settled to the satisfaction of
the switchmen. The article further re-
ferS to the rumor that the Milwaukee
proposes to reduce wages 331155 per cent
i'll all departments, and that it has in
creased the working hours of watchmPn
engaged in watching gates. These
measures are said to be retaliatory, and
will be cOnSummated by the road in
an endeavor to ''get even" with the
switchmen who precipitated the trouble
of several months ago. 1t is fact that
the wages of some of the Milwaukee
freight clerks have been reduced. II is
done always at certain seasons of the
year when the roads traffic declines.
But no general reduction has taken
place, nor is it expected. The diSsatiS-
fact ion in the Milwaukee yards, if any
exists, is difficult to find. There is no
likelihood of "a war between a great
corporation and its employees" SO tar as
patient search for the facts in the case
could reveal. The SWitchmen of the
Milwaukee road are apparently con-
tented, and, as railroad strikes seldom
originate in freight houses, it is pruba-
bic that the general public are not at
present sleeping over a volcano of in
duSlrial violence"

WHOOPS AND YELLS.
Thousands fWar-Painted Indians
Around Frisco Village.

OKLAHOMA CITY Dec. 5.-Capt. Stiles,
in command of the military forces at
Oklahoma City, is besieged by numer-
Gus inquiries as to what steps will be
taken by the authorities to protect the
settlers at Frisco. small village fifteen
miles southwest of here. against an In
dian uprising. The scare amounts to a
general panic. Within a mile and a
half of the village nearly 1000 Indians,
counting squaws and children. are en-
camped on the banks of the South Cana
dian. Many of them have on
their war paint, and whoops
and yells can be heard day
and night. Mrs. Davis. school teacher
at Frisco, became alarmed for her safe
ty. and came to this city with her child.
She says the situation at Frisco is decid-
edly alarming. Settlers from the sur
rounding country are fiOcking into the
village, and constant guard is kept day
and night. The only building in Frisco
capable of resisting an attack by the In
dians is One-story house. which has
been fitted out up as garrison for the
women and children, while the male
population remains outside on guard.
Gen. Merritt. in command of this de-
partment, has been appealed to for pro-

TO GUST THE WABASH.
New Suits Against the Company
Will Be Filed To-Day.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dee. 5.-New
suits to oust the Wabash are to be filed
tomorrow. The lawyer who will bring
suits is the prosecuting attorney at
Logansport, and the plaintiff is
the state of Indiana. Logansport
was the terminal of one division of the
Wabash for many years-the Detroit
division-whieh is really the Eel River
road. operated by the Wabash under a
lease of 999 years. To build this road
the city of Logansport contributed
100000. Later Peru was made the
terminal and LoganspOrt lost 200 fam
lilies. 1t is claimed that under the stat
ute-and so Judge Woods decided yes
terday-there can be no relation
of landlord and tenants be-
tween railroads, and when the
Eel River company leased its road to
the Wabash, it abandoned the road.
The first information to be fled by the
states attorney is against the Eel
River company, to show cause why its
charter shall not be declared for
feited; why receiver should not be ap-
pointed to take charge of its affairs, and
an attempt will he made to show the
lease under which it is operated to be
invalid. The second Information is
against the Wabash company to show
cause why its charter should not be
forfeited for exercising powers in ex-
cess of those conferred by the said
charter.

was arrested. On crOsS-examinatiOn

to make them sick. and that sshe in
tended to commit suicide with the re-
mainder. Her testimony was broken
at various intervals by sobS and tears.

Of character to have removed the

needed, it would have been found in
publications in the European press ad-
mitting that invoices were systemati-

that their authorization had become
little more than formal under the old
system: that the average duties col

GRoroN. S. D., Dee. 5.-The little
town of Gem, this county, was electrl-
fed this morning by tie report that
Otto Gunderson, a Norwegian farmer
living eighteen miles southwest of
GrotOn. had murdered his wife. On in
vestigation the body of the woman was
found lying on Its back in the snow half
way between the barn and the house
with an ugly wound on the head. made
apparently by some blunt instrument.
There was no witness TO the murder,
and the only evidence as to the killing
was that of the man himself. who said
that his wife had gone to the barn
after supper and he had fol-
lowed. While there an alteration
arose about an alleged improper
Intimacy between her and an Aberdeen
man during her husbands confinement
in the lunatic asylum at Yankton sew
eral years ago. From words they came
TO blows and he finally seized a shovel
and hit her blow in the head that
caused her death. He then returned to
the house aud left the body lying out in
the snow all night. His brother discov-
ering these facts in the morning the
sheriff was telegraphed and captured
him at his home, he having made no at
tempt to escape. He was brought to
GrotOn and taken thence to Aberdeen
for satekeeping. Excitement among
the NorN egians in the neighborhood
ran high and it was feared
by some that violence would be
attempted but no effort was made to
molest the sheriff and his prisoner. The
cause of the murder seems TO have been
Jealousy on the part of the husband.
Some think him insane, as he has been
SO before. and was several years An in

of those who opposed the bill, there
were those on his side of the cham
Der and throughout the country,
majority of the free men of the

one that threatened the integrity of

aced the liberties of the people of all
