Nordrum, Chicago Detective, Suspend
ed from the Force.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. %. Detective
Charles Nordrum, an old officer who
did active and valuable service during
the examination into the big Anarchist
cases few years ago, was sus-
pended by Supt. Marsh to-day,
pending investigation into charges
made against him by the
Personal Rights League. These charges
are, that OF late Nordrum has been re-
vealing to Anarchists evidence showing
who are the spies in their camps in the
employ of the police force. The reason
alleged for his conduct is that he was
lying to prevent his removal from the
force, which he feared would be brought
about by Anarchist sympathizers. He
sought to square" himself with the OPP
position by revealing police secrets.

STOLE ALL THE ASSETS.
A New York Bank Wrecked by Its
President.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-The Lenox Hill
Bank suspended payments to-day. It
Is controlled by the same parties who
last week bought the control of the
Sixth National Bank, of this city, which
had already been closed by the bank
examiner. The knowledge Of the rela-
ton of the two institutions caused a
run on the Lenox, which it was
unable to meet. The president is said
to have made an attempt to obtain
funds in Wall Street to continue pay
ments, but was unsuccessful. The Clear
ing-house Association to-day acted on
the Sixth National, and decided to drop
it from the association. There are all
kinds OF rumOrs In regard to
the Sixth National Bank, one
being that it's new officers, who have
only been in charge few days, had sold
out it's securities as soon as they OBJ
tanned possession. It's president, P. j.
Claassen, is said to have been con-
nected with mining schemes in
Leadville number of years ago.
The representatives of the bank
examiner state that depositors will GER
tainly be paid in full. The Equitable
Bank has also been mentioned In con-
nection with the other institutions. Its
president makes the following state
ment: The owners of the Sixth Ma
tional have minority interest in the
Equitable, only, and the bank is not al
fected."
Wall Street, this afternoon, looks up
on the attempt to dispose of the $780,
900 in bonds owned by the Sixth Ma
tional Bank as simply case of highway
robbery. 1t seems that President
Claassen, after abstracting the bonds
from the safe deposit vault, turned them
over to Geo. III. Pell, a bro.
ker. who attempted to dispose Of
them on the street, representing them
to be the property OF his wife. Mr.
Colsen, the cashier of the bank, learn
ing of the action of Claassen, notified the
clearing house and the bank examiner
The latter began an investigation yes
terday afternoon. He soon learned
enough to cause him to close the bank
and call on Clsassen for the return oil
the $685., 900 in securities. The examiner
by his prompt action, succeeded in
getting back $20l 900 of the bonds. In
lieu OF, or on account of, the rest Of the
distracted bonds, Claassen handed the
bank examiner checks for 1885,, 900
These checks fell short of The market
value of the distracted securities $l40,.
900. None of the checks. however
have been paid, and they are being
protested this morning.
The comptroller OF the currency will
appoint receiver for the bank, and al
the facts in the case will be laid before
the district attorney to-day.
The United States district attorney
this afternoon issued warrants tor the
arrest of President Claassen and Broker
Pell for their connection with wrecklne
the Sixth National Bank.

1T Is SETTLED,

Montana Supreme Court Decides the
Legislative Contest.
HELENA, Mont, Jan. 28.-The gu
preme court to-day decided the Thomp-
son mandamus case by granting per-
emptory writ ordering the state auditor
to allow Thompson's bill for mileage and
per diem.
Thompson is Republican member of
the Legislature from Silver Bow Coun-
ty, being one of the five elected by the
throwing out of the Tunnel precinct.
The court goes into the question of
certificates, and sustains the position of
the Republicans that certificates from
the state canvassing board are only
prima Iacie evidence of membership in
the legislature.
This decision makes the Republican
body the legal legislature.

OFF TIE TRESTLE.
A Passenger Train Goes Into o Creek
s x Killed,

A dispatch of the 9th from Indian
apolis says: A fr;ghtful wreck occurred
at point one mile above Carmel, six
teen miles north of this city,
at 1850 o'clock this morning,
the passenger train on the
Monon road, which left Chicago late
Sunday night, being derailed by the
spreading of the rails at the approach to
long trestle and precipitated into the
creek below. The passengers were
thrown into heap in the cars, and
those who did not escape were crushed
to death and their bodies cremated.
Six passengers are known to be dead,
and twenty-five more or less seriously
injured.
The train was running on usual time
and was approaching the trestle, known
as Wllkerson Creek trestle, when the
tender of the engine left the track.
The engineer Immediately reversed the
lever, but before the air brakes could be
operated the entire train had left the
track and WAS rolling down the embank-
ment.
The first intimation of anything unus-
ual was q swaying of the train. followed
by the front end of the sleeper going
over the embankment. There was q
crash and q shock that threw the pas
sengers from one end of the Car to the
other, out of one berth into another,
and demolisning everything in the car.
A gentleman kicked out window,
through which a number made their
exit; others. seeing that there was no
Immediate danger to those in the sleep
er, dressed themselves and then
sought the open air. On emery
ing from the sleeper it was
discovered that the coach Immediately
in front had been badly wrecked, be-
cause Ia leaving the bridge the front
end struck the embankment approach,
completely demolishing that end Of the
car, overturning the stove, in which a
brisk fire was burning. The car imme-
diately took fire, the flames spreading
with great rapidity, and in moment
enveloping it. Those who had escaped
from the other coaches and were able to
