A Telegraph Operators Desperate Enors
to Avert It. He Realizes the Terrible
situation, But HIS Message Was I'm
needed.
KENT, November ga thrilling story,
known only to three telegraph opera
tors, was told yesterday by the opera
tors, and is here given TO the puoilc lor
the first time. The recent wreck OF
the DIN excursion train, by which Tour
lives were lost and many injured, Is
still fresh In the minds of the people.
The freight with which the PASSENGER
collided was lying on the siding al ka-
VIENNA. All the extra excursion trains
but one had gone by, and operator me-
Closky knew that il must be at Kent.
He gazed out the window, but could
see nothing Of the freight. The horrible
Thought that the crew IN charge
had made a mistake flashed into his
mind. In an instant the wires carried
10 Operator Stein, at Kent, this MESSAGE:
sThink SO has left. Hold No. L." The
latter was just leaving Kent, and the
excited operator grabbed lantern and
ran ont. but was unable to attract at
tention from any one or the train. Still
there was one chance left. The train
would pass the Office in the east yards,
and perhaps he could yet save 1t from
destruction. He hurried back to the
office. grabbed key and began calling
the east yard man. He could obtain no
answer. The operator was either asleep
or busy with other work, and the mes
sage on which lives depended was I'M
needed. The train rushed on, the crash
came. and the world knows the rest.
The matter has been kept quiet until
Yesterday, when Operator McClosky' OF
Rayena, told IL.

Prominent Business Man Pleads Against
Being AdJudEed Insane
CLEVELAND, o., November "a sad
scene was witnessed in the Probate
Court to-day, when Luke Senior, one OF
the prOprietors Of big wooden mill
here, was adjudged insane. For years
Mr.. Senior had been an honored ousi-
ness man. he had made money, and
was credited with more than ordinary
shrewdness. Some week ago he began
making extravagant purchases. lie
duplicated an order for an entire set OF
machinery that has just been
put into the mill, purchased
farm at fancy price, invested
money In fast horses, and behaved 9TH
erwise In an extraordinary way. dis
partners, the Messrs. Beckman, went
into Court and asked for an inquest in
lunacY, fearing that he would ruin the
business. In Court to-day Senior plead
ed with Judge White, saying he was
perfectly sane, and could take care OF his
property. He told the Judge he was
going TO make q million dollars out or q
stone quarry on his farm, and that he
was going to marry a woman with $780,
OO0. The Judge decided that he was in
sane. ''If you send me TO an asylum" "
said Senior, 81 will cut my throat, and
the maledictions Of heaven will ever
rest on your bead" The Judge de-
cided that Mr.. Senior should be be kept
at his home, aud there receive medical
treatment, and he appointed guardian
for him.

EvANS's SUICIDE
And tho Rebuke OF Mr.. Potter That
Caused Him To Take His Life.

And tho Rebuke of Mr. Potter That
Caused Him To Take His Life.
BosToN, MASS, November 3.-Mr.
Asa P. Potter, President OF the emoar-
rassed Maverick National Bank, In
speaking of his alleged responsibility
for the suicide of Irving A. Evans and
his alleged effect in bringing about the
failure of the bank. says: ga week or
more before Mr. Evans's death, he owed
the Maverick Bank large sum OF
money. Changes in the market made 1t
necessary that at least a portion OF his
livelihood should be taken up. / talked
the matter over with him, and he agreed
to pay q certain sum the next day. This
Mr.. Evans did not do, and three days
later said to him: Merry, this won't
do. l am personally disappointed. l
believed you would keep your promise"
81 turned away from him then and he
left. am told that he took my rebuke,
if rebuke it was, very much to heart.
| know that he was sensitive man,
but there was nothing in what l said or
my manner of saying it that, under the
circumstances, should have given him
serious offense. That was the last
time l saw him. The members OF his
family say that he brooded over the
matter and that 1t was one OF the
causes of his dependency which led
him to take his life. These are all the
facts about my relations with Mr.. Evans
as far as those relations in any sense
affected his sudden DEATH"
1.-The loss of the Maverick National
Bank on account OF its dealings with
Mr.. Evans would be about 5000, 0e0, if
the collateral could be judiciously dis
posed of. The banks dealings with
Mr.. Evans can In no sense be consid-
cred the directcause Of the suspension.
The real causes OF the failure are some
what complicated.
1.-The first tangible thing was the re-
fusal by President Wilmot r. Evans,
of the Winthrop National Bank, to ac-
cept one OF our certified checks. AL
though Mr.. Evans had no desire that
the matter should take such a phase,
the full Clearing House Committee sat
upon the case and decided to make an
examination.
"Of course, in the nature OF things
there was great deal OF paper and 9th.
er securities OF whose value members OF
that committee were entirely ignorant.
The figures show apparently very
large deficit. Let me say, that II l was
allowed to wind up the affairs OF the
Maverick bank, no depositors and no
stakeholder would lose one dollar that
he has deposited or invested"

To BE Distributed Among General Credit
Ors Instead of GOlng to One Bonk.
CHICAGO, November SIN April last,
SpOoner r. Howell, lumber merchant of
this city, with branches at Omaha and
elsewhere, turned over his property TO
the First National Bank OF this city, to
which he was indebted fer the amount
OF 5000, 600. Later the North Wisconsin
Lumber Company brought suit for $50,
964, claiming the transactions with the
First National Bank collusive, and to
the detrlment of outside creditors.
Judge Brown, before whom the case
was tried, decided against them. The
case was taken to the Appellate Court,
which to-day reversed that decision.
The effect is that the $1,000 will go to
the legitimate creditOre.
The warning factions OF Eastern and
Western stockholders Of the Stirling
Manufacturing Company, Chicago, made
q truce. The date of their meeting was
postponed one month to permit a settle

MRS. MAVERICK.
The Hearing OF the Insurance Case stnl
on in London.

The Hearing OF the Insurance Case still
on in London.
LONDON, November SIN the Court
OF Appeals to-day argument was re-
sumed by the appeal Of the executors Of
the will OF Mr.. Maybrick, whose wife,
Florence E. MaybFick, was convicted Of
causing bis death, against decision
sustaining an insurance company in re-
fusing TO pay $4,000 insurance on his
life, the company holding that the
policy was void, as the testatOr's death
was caused by poison administered by
his heir, Mrs. Maybrick.
Sir Edward Clarke, Q. c., the At
torney General on behalf Of the defen-
dsnt, resumed his argument this
morning, saying that, as the law did
not permit wife or other representa-
tive Of an insured person who COM
mitted suicide TO recover the insurance
money, the law could not allow a person
TO profit by his or her own criminal act.
The Master OF the Rolls, Lord Esher,
IN summing up, said he thought the
true construction Of the policy was that
the money should be paid TO the
executors in trust. II that was done
and a receipt obtained the respondents
were not bound to see that the trust
was fulfilled. After further argument
Judgment was reserved.
