CHICAGO BANKS CAUGHT.
Attachment Suits Filed to Cover
Commercial Paper.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-THE Union Ma
tional bank began an attachment suit
to-day against the Peters Salt and Lum-
Der company, of Manistee, Mich, which
failed yesterday. Attachments were
levied on surplus securities held by the
Commercial and American Exchadge
National banks. of this city. The Union
National claims to be amply secured OH
the paper Of the firm which it holds
The Commercial and American EX-
change both hold considerable amounts
OF the Peters paper, but their officers
say that they are secured by collateral
good tor the amounts several times over.
The Continental National bank holds
$4,000 of the failed firms paper.
Its officers say it is perfectly
secured by Endorsements by solvent
firms. In addition to this there are
large quantities OF Peters paper afloat
in private hands in this city. 1t is an
nounced that Mr.. Peters has sold his in
tereSt in the Higbee d Peters Lumber
company to Pardee, Cook e Co. Private
adviceS received here to-day from Man
istee are to the effect that the Manistee
bank and the Butler & Peters Salt COM
pany will pull out all right. There are
rumOrs in regard to the effect of the
Peters failure on one or two firms in
this city, but thus far no failures have
been announced. 1t is predicted in
financial circles in this city that at least
200 concerns, large and small, mostly in
Michigan and Wisconsin, will be at
fected by the Peters failure. The Wis
consin Fire and Marine Insurance COM
pany began attachment proceedings
against the Peters company this after
noon OH claim OF $1,000. This after

WITH A CURSE on HIS LIPS.
Murderer James Maxwell Is
Hemped Into Eternity.


MORRIS. ILL.,, Oct. Thames Maxwell
was hanged at AT this morning for
the murder OF Charles Decker in June
last. He was game to the last, and died
apparently the most unconcerned man
in the town of Morris. Last night when
the sheriff showed some evidence
of trepidation at the task before him,
Maxwell said. "Brace up, old man; you
are much more troubled about this
thing than | am" He slept well, and
ate breakfast with apparent relish this
morning. His spiritual advisers re-
ceived severe shock this morning
when they went in to administer the
last words of consolation to him.
An enterprising reporter had
been there before them. He
sd assumed the guise of a minister
With the idea of getting an interview.
He f,Iled, for when the newspaper rep
resentative began to question him as TO
his spiritual welfare, Maxwell threw off
the religious mask which he had hith-
erto worn and drove his visitor from
him with string of curses of the most
sulphurous sort. When the sheriff be-
gan to read the death warrant, in a
trembling voice, Maxwell interrupted
with a "Stop that CAB, SHREDDER, and let
us get through this thing as soon as
possible" His wish was complied with
and he was at once conducted to the
gallows. A brief prayer was offered,
the prisoner was pinioned and the moose
adjusted. The sttr asked him if he
had anything to say. His reply was
complaint that the sheriff had put
window in the shantv in WITCH the exc
cution took place. so that the crowd out
side could see him. The sheriff then
cut the cord and the body fell. In

JUST MISSED THE JUGULAR.
Atrocious Attempt to Decapitate
An Albanian.

ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. ia bloody
assault that narrowly escaped a fatal
ending. created intense excitement in
East Albany last night. Charles Harris,
the victim, an eX-striker, while passing
the barber shop of John Lotus in COM
pany with James Wilson, took occasion
to stop and taunt Lotus for shaving
''scab" railroad man. The two then
passed on and were followed by the ill.,
furiated barber, who seized Harris. and
drawing back his head, drew keen
edged razor viciously across his throat.
AS soon as possible Harris was removed
to DIR. Woods office. where the hem
orrhage was staunched and the wound
closed with thirteen stitches. The Jug
ular vein had not been touched, and tile
cut may not prove fatal. Harris was
then conveyed to his home, where he
passed fairly comfortable night. Lotus
was arrested SoOD after the assault, and
locked up in The East Albany station
house. This morning he was arraigned
before Justice Aladen, and held for the
grand jury in default of bail. The
trouble is understood to have been the
OutgrOWJh of the recent railroad strike.

Deserved his Awful Fate.

The crime for which James Maxwell
was executed was one attended with
brutality rarely found, even in the an
nails of crime. On the night of June 25
last, the house of Charles Decker. at
Ibis place, was entered by two men for
the purpose of robbery. Decker, a man
about fifty years old, was aroused and
met the marauders in the hallway. One
OF them beat him over the head with a
hatchet. fracturing his skull and in
tlicting other injuries, from the COM
bined effects of which he died. His as
sailants left him lying on the floor and
entered another apartment, where
they were met by Mrs. Decker,
the mother of their victim.
She was knocked down and
rendered insensible by blow from the
hatchet that had killed her son. The
murdererS then ransacked they house.
but an alarm had been given by serv-
ant OF the family, and the fled without
securing any plunder. A party of citi-
zens searched the country about the
village, and in two hours had run Max
we'll to earth and arrested him. The
following day negro named Fitzhugh
was also arrested. Enough evidence
was obtained duplicating the pair TO
make their guilt matter of little doubt.
and the prisoners narrowly escaped
lynching. More evidence was obtained
later. by which it was shown that Max
we'll had induced Ftzhugh to take part
in it, and had urged him to do the kill
ing in case any should prove necessary.
The programme was carried out. and it
was FitZhugh who welded the
weapon that deprived Decker of
life and nearly killed his mother.
FitZhugh confessed the crime. but
Maxwell clung to his story of innocence
until confronted in the Jail by his ac-
cOmpllce. Then he broke down and
ways knew the gallows would be his
end. but it had come rather sooner than
he had expected. The trial took place
and Maxwell was sentenced to be
hanged, while Fitzhugh, who turned
states evidence, got off with term of

Only the Staunchest Craft
Dare Venture Out in
Gotham's Harbor.
A Tug Sunk in Collision and
Two Of Her Crew
Drowned.
Dozens of Small Vessels
Stranded Ali Along the
Atlantic Coast.
Twenty-Five Mariners Perish
in a Wreck in Japanese
Waters.

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-Never before in
the memory of the oldest mariner along
the water front have the East and North
rivers been so dangerous and bolster
Gus. At 9 O'Clock this morning, when
the tide was about at its height. the
river about the battery and bay as far
as the eye could see, was as fierce and
choppy as any stormy sea ever wit
messed along the coast. The waves
were high and covered with white caps,
and the spray dashed five or six feet
into the air. Early in the morning the
water drove the lOungers OH the wall of
Battery Park back in dismay. and all
the morning dashed up and over
it. The wind was blowing at
the velocity of about forty-five
miles an hour and was from the north
northwest. Only the largest and stanch-
est vessels ventured out, and many
strong and sturdy sidewheelers and
steam tugs after venturing out into the
wind for a few seconds made good time
back to their docks. Later the wind
moderated to twenty-eight miles an
hour. The day was so bright that
most people never thought a storm was
raging. Everywhere in the suburbs the
wind blew hard. At Paterson Scott
NIXON, a brakeman on the Delaware,
Lackawanna u Western railroad, while
on the roof of freight car which was
passin g down the spur near Getty av-
enue about 9 o'clock, was blown off by
the wind. He fell along the track, and
his leg was broken in several places.
The gale on the bay, aided by
strong ebb tide. caused a collision
off the battery late this afternoon be-
tween the big tug boat Jan es A. Gar
field and the freight boat Amos c. Bar
stow, of the Stonington Steamship COM
pany. The Garfield, which is owned by
McColdin Bros, of this city, went like
shot to the bottom. John Steele. head
carpenter of McColdin Bros, and John
Lyons, fireman OH the Garfield, were
drowned, while the seven other men Oh
the tug were rescued by the Barstow's
crew and the crews of the tugs Charm.
Vulcan and Jewett. which responded
to the BarstOw'S whistles for assistance.
Capt. Henderson, of the Garfield, had
his arm and jaw broken and was taken
to his home in Brooklyn. Heroic efforts
were made to save Steele and Lyons,
who were both strong swimmers, but
the poor fellows succumbed to the heavy
seas. The Garfield was an old boat and
valued at $500.

A GulIib1e Granger Swindled Out
OF S2,SOO.

PALMER, Mass, Oct. 17.-Carleton
Stebbins, farmer, eighty years old.
living near here, was swihdled out Of
S2,S00 this afternoon by strangers. A
well-dressed young man called upon
StebbinS yesterday ostensibly to buy
his farm. The price was agreed upon
and the man returned today to see
distant part of the land. He took Steb-
bins in his carriage, and on the road a
man OH foot stopped them and engaged.
in conversation. He claimed to be a.
Southerner and did not like Yankees,as
they had swindled him out of a large
sum of money by tricks at cards. The,
stranger offered to show how the trick
was played, and the fellow in the carriage
with StebbnS was then induced to Try his
luck and won $500. Stebbins was then
told that before he was paid his
winnings he must show that he was
worth like amount. He drove with
the sharpers to Palmer, where he drew
S1,400 from a bank, and at Monsoon he
drew 1.400 more. Returning to Steb.
bins house the would-be purchaser OF
the farm took a tin box from the care
riage, put StebblnS2. money Into lit ana
gave it 10 the old man, telling him to
keep it till Tomorrow when they would
come and take the farm. After the men
had gone Stebbins found that the box
cont med nothing but a few sticks.

GIFTS ONLY ON PAPER
Public Institutions Find
Themselves Interested in
the Peters Failure.
EndoWments Take the Form
of Notes Which Are Ppac-
tieally Valueless.
Condition of the Numerous
Business Interests OF the
InsOlyent.
Commercial Paper for Large
Amounts Scattered All
Over the Country.

MANIsTEE. Mich, Oct. 1.-Two or
three public institutions will find them
selves very directly interested in the
failure of r. q. Peters. Several years
ago it was announced that MIR. Peters
bad given $4,000 each to Ober-
lin college, Olivet college and
the Congregational theological SEM
mary at Chicago. Oberlin has since
built large and elegant building and
christened it Peters Hall.'' 1t now
turns out that these gifts are only on
paper. Mr.. Peters having given his
notes for the sums named on which he
agreed to pay interest-and presumably
haS-until such time as he should
choose to pay them. There was a
run on the Manistee National bank
this morning, which was promptly met.
The institution was prepared for such
an emergency. and is amply able to
meet the run without going outside its
own resources. 1t has at present nearly
100000 in currency in its vaults. The eX-
citement here has subsidized. Mir. Peters
was interviewed this afternoon, and, in
speaking of the condition of the vari-
Gus firms in which he is interested, he
says Buffers & Peters, of Ludington
and North Carolina, are in good shape.
Peters 81 Morrison, of Menoninee.
were on a good deal of accommodation
paper and would probably go to the
wall. he said. The Interior
Mq@oer Mch was company, sood OF sn.na Interior
not in any danger, and the Peters
Lumber company, of Brewton. Ala,
owed not over $500, 900 or $4,000 to out
siders in addition to what is owed him.
The Peters Trust Land Company, of
Alabama, has its lands all paid for. The
Fifth National Bank of Grand Rapids
has almost nothing Of his paper, and he
owned $1,000 OF it's stock. Arthur
Meigs d Co., lumber, planning mill and
real estate, and Peters x Dunham, both
of Grand Rapids, were heavily involved
and would likely go under. He dis
posed of his interest in Higbee S
firm is all right and has his good
will. Lemon Il Peters. wholesale
grocers of Grand Rapids, are in
good shape. Marthurson 81 White, who
operated numbering extensively :, in
