THE MAVERICK BOOKS BALANCE.
A More Favorable Statement Of Condition
Than Was Expected.

Than Was Expected.
BOSTON, Nov. 9.-Receiver Beal gives
this as the state of the Maverick National
Bank, as shown by its books at the close of
business October 81, 1891: Total resources,
$685., SAG, total liabilities the same. As
compared with September % loans had de-
creased in the month before the failure by
S330,000. The bond account was reduced by
Sill, 900. The cash with reserve agents has
been reduced from 1865, 900 to $2s9, 900, and
the loans to banks had come
down from s1,047, 200 to $796. 900.
Exchanges for clearing houses were
only 1881, 900, against $685., 900 upon the
previous date. Specie has been reduced
from s647 900 to $685., 200, but legal tenders
had increased from S490, 200 to s597, 900.
The deposits at the time of the banks sus-
pension, including certificates of deposit
and deposits of banks and bankers, aggre-
gated So, 260, 900, as against So, $40, 600 five
weeks before, a loss of 81, 600, 900 in de-
posits, of which 1874, 900 was a falling off
in individual deposits and $500, 600 falling
off in bank deposits.
The Maverick had very large business,
its outward mail averaging from 600 to 300
letters day, and the posting of 1000 let
tiers was not an unusual occurrence; but
everything is found thus far to have been
Systematically conducted, and all accounts
balance upon the books.

ADVICE FROM AMERICA.
THE IRISH NATIONAL LEAGUE ISSUES
A PLAIN ADDRESS.

Their Brethren in Erin Counseled &c
Unite by Mutual Concessions, Even II
Every Leadership Candidate MUS
Withdraw.
LINCOLN, NEB., Nov. 9.-MV. Cannon,
President of the Irish National League OF
America; William Byman. Treasurer, and
John ?. Sutton, Secretary, to-day issued a
significant statement addressed to the
friends of Ireland in America. The docu-
ment refers to the rival factions infamed
with hate, arrsyed against each other in
Ireland, and says those who would be nat
urally looked to there for counsel tending to
peace and unity are foremost in fermenting
fratricidal strife. adding:
Union, however, between these factions is
absolutely necessary to the success of the
Irish cause, and it must be union of head
and heart based on mutual concessions, even
if every present aspirant to leadership has
to be forced into retirement. 1t should be
the resolve of the Irish in America that no
Parliamentary factions shall be permitted to
bring upon our motherland ruin more
complete than England's tyrannical acts
have ever been able to accomplish.
Ine address calls 1or more thorough or
ganization and q redoubling of efforts to
make the Irish League of America q
mighty engine for good, not only for Ire
land, but for the Irish race all the world
over. Entirely non-partisan, the League,
the address says, will exercise a marked
beneficial influence in Irish affairs, and its
power to render financial assistance will
be far greater than can ever be derived
from spasmodic collection tours by Irish
representatives. As an Independent Amer
lean organization it should not heed the
clamor of interested parties, or stop by the
wayside to quarrel with fellow couutrymen
who may differ in opinion, but 60
steadily forward endeavoring to bring order
out of chaos, union out of disunion, and
ultimate freedom to Ireland.

BERLIN BANKS IN PERIL.
THEY WERE SUBJECTED TO A HEAVY
RUN YESTERDAY.

New Developments Hourly in the Two Big
Failures Already Announced-As Other
Banks Continue to Pay All Demands
the Excitement Is Subsiding.
BERLIN, Nov. "a large number of the
customers of the great banking firm on
Leipziger Strasse, alarmed by the recent
failures of Hischfeld & Wolff and Fried
lander & Somerfeld, to-day visited the
bankers and withdrew their deposits
There was great excitement among
the depositors, and it was
found necessary to detail q number of po-
icemen for the special purpose of keeping
the crowd in order. There was run upon
the banks generally. All demands were
met, however, and this fact tended in
great measure to allay the excitement The
feeling is now becoming quieter.
Some people are Of the opinion that the
worst of the financial storm is over, and
that when matters quiet down there will be
a beneficial reaction. In any case the mar
ket was disorganized to-day, and securities,
generally, have taken "slump." The in
fuence of this decline of prices is already
felt in London and in Paris, and it would
not be going too far to say that the Berlin
troubles have disorganized every market in
Europe.
Additional revelations in regard to the
collapse Of Hirschfeld & Wolff, the fall of
Herr Leipziger and the suicides of the
Sommerfelds are made almost hourly.
Siegmund Sommerfeld died to-day from
the wounds he inflicted upon himself on
Saturday last, at the same time that his
son Felix took his own life.
The Sommerfelds, as already stated.
in addition to shooting themselves, had
opened veins in their arms and when found
were literally bathed in blood. Siegmund
lived until this morning with bullet in his
brain, but Felix died soon after he and his
father were found.

Blackened His Mothers Eve.

There was very sad scene at the Twenty
eighth ward police station last night when
an old couple who called themselves Mr..
and Mrs. Burns put in an appearance The
couple, whose hairs are whitened from age,
begged with tears that their son Patrick
Burns be arrested. Mrs Burns told the
story of the pair, which was to the effect
that the son had gone to their home in
Wharton's row and assaulted both the
father and mother. The father said such
outbreaks on the part of the son were fre.
quent, and only last week he had blackened
his mothers eye. As Magistrate Succop
was away no information could be made,
and the couple were advised to call to-day
and enter suit against the brutal son.

They Assault and Rob Peddler in Sight OF
Crowd OF Children.
UNIoNTowN, Nov. 9.-[Special Frank
Cooley and his gang Of desperadoes are up
TO their old tricks again. This afternoon
they attacked Joel Rosenstein, Hebrew
peddler, near the East Union School build
ing, in Collins addition, and after beating
him unmercifully, robbed him of $51, all
the money he had on his person. The deed
was committed before the eyes of half a
hundred school children, within sight of a
dozen dwelling houses Rosenstein recog-
nized his assailants, and knowing the des-
perate character of the gang, feigned un-
consciousness after he was struck the first
blow.
After the villains left him he started to
crawl to house nearby, but the gang were
watching him, and running back, they
pounced upon him again and beat him
worse than ever. This time he received
such terrible punishment that he lay un-
conscious until the frightened school chill
dren brought assistance. The gang escaped,
and as yet no effort has been made to cap
ture them. The authorities are all afraid
of the Cooleys, and no doubt they will
still be allowed to carry on their depreda-
tions unmolested.

The Porte Refuses to Allow the Exhuma-
ton and Removal of Dead Soldiers
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 9.-As is we'll
known, the relations between the Russian
and Turkish Governments are not remark
able for friendliness, and matters have not
been improved by reply from the Porte to
a request recently made by Russia. The
latter country being desirous of honoring its
soldiers who were killed during the late
Russo-Turkish war and who were buried to
Turkey, recently requested the Porte to
grant permission for the Russian authorities
to disinter the dead, it being the intention
of Russia to remove them to San
stefano, near Constantinople, where a Ma
tional memorial was to be erected in their
honor. 1t was also the intention of Russia
to erect at San Stefano an Orthodox Greek
Church in memory of those who laid down
their lives for their country.
But the Porte declines to allow Russia to
remove the bodies. 1t is held in st. Peters
burg that this is but another illustration of
the animosity of the Porte toward every
thing Russian, and there is much irritation
in consequence It is not believed that the
Russian Government will allow the ques-
tion to remain as it now stands.

LONDON, Nov. 9-To-day is the fftieth
anniversary Of the birth of His Royal High
ness, the Prince of Wales. The occasion is

produced at those establishments, and the
managers and actors were desirous of show
ing in some way their appreciation. Some
time ago movement was started among the
dramatic profession looking to the forma-
tion of fund to purchase present to be
given to the Prince to-day. The subscrip-
tions to the fund poured in rapidly and
those having the affair in hand decided
upon gold cigar box as suitable token of
their regard To-day Sir Augustus Harris

fession, proceeded from London to Sand

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-[Speciai. From
reports already received in Washington the
indications are that an unusual large num-
Der of delegates will come here on Novem-
Der 2S to lay before the Republican Ma
tional Committee the claims of their
respective cities to the honor of the Repub-
lIcan Convention of 1892. Pittsburg,
Chicago, Omaha, Cincinnati, Mime
apolis and San Francisco have al
ready formally entered the field,
and it is understood that during the coming
week another candidate will appear; this 's
the rising and ambitious city of Tacoma, ON
Puget Sound. An agent of Tacoma is now
In the East arranging the preliminsries OF

hustling town will offer, in addition to the
usual beasts of fine hotels, beautiful climate,
unPrejudiced political opinions, etc, In,
clude free railroad transportation for all
delegates, alternatives, newspaper repre-
sentatives and prominent politicians.
San Francisco is prepared to offer free
rides to the delegates, but Tacoma proposes
to place all the visitors on the same footing
in this regard. Arrangements are being
made, it is said, by which the Tacoma
boomers will be able to lay before the ma
tional committee a cut and dried plan OF
railroad facilities for reaching the
far western town without ex-
pense that surpasses the wonderful
schedule carried ont in the grand circle
sailing jaunt of President Harrison last
spring. The plan contemplates bringing
delegates from the four corners of the coun-
try by trains to meet at some central point
like Omaha, whence they will move in one
grand procession to the City on the Sound.
The details of Tacoma's plan are still un-
perfected, but will, it is hoped, be in COM
plete shape on or before November %.

THE RESULT IN IOWA
COMMENTED UPON BY MRS. j. ELLEN
FOSTER, THE LECTURER.

She Denounces the Tammany Hall Methods
of the Democratic Party in That State,
and Bitterly Scores. Its so-Called Tenn
perance Members-Not Discouraged.
CHICAGO, Nov. 9-Mrs j. Ellen Foster
the well-known prohibitionist and the
founder of the Non-Partisan Women's
Christian Temperance Union, is in the city
to-day. She admits that the result of last
Tuesdays election in Iowa was a sur
prise to her. 'But," she adds, "while my
own enthusiastic desire for Republican sue
cess might have biased my calm judgment,
yet such conservative men as Senator Alh-
son, Chairman Mack and Editor Clarkson,
Of the State Register, were equally confident. I"
"The campaign was q vigorous one, I"
continued Mrs. Foster, land every honor
able means was employed to insure Repub-
lican success. The stubborn fact remains,
however, that Democratic methods of Tam
many Hall type prevailed The result was
not due to change in the real sentiment of
the State. Some of the most enthusiastic
campaigners we had this year werc men
who voted against prohibition when 1t was
adopted at the election of 1882. But many
Prohibitionists have left the State. The
adoption of prohibition in the Dakotas
and. other localities of the West was due to
the Iowa colonists settling there.
'The moral influence of Governor Boies'
administration has been against the enforce
ment of the prohibitory law. He pardoned
criminals convicted under its provisions
He assailed clergymen who protested
against his connivance at outlawry and
crime
Mrs. Foster bitterly scores Temperance"
Democrats, who, she declared, all voted the
straight Democratic ticket, regardless of
temperance sympathies of the Republican
candidates. She expresses the belief that
the law will be retained, although its en-
forcement will be rendered more difficult.
