A NEW STAR has appeared in the pugilstic
armament. He is Cincinnati star, and
his name is KoETrERs. We are not exactly
accustomed to the idea of great sluggers
with any other than Irish names, though
there is an occasional Englishman or a
sporadic darkey on the list. The Cincinnati
man, therefore, comes to us as asweet Tcu-
tonic surprise. lie is quite youtli-only
twenty years old, in fact-and is described
as tail, of massive build, and possessing
ihews and sinews of iron. 1t appears that
he has heretofore been unconscious of his
powers, being of Il peaceful, beer-drinking
temperament and given to reflection rather
than to strife Immersed in the compare,
lively bucolic occupation of plastering,
and dcvotng his leisure to domestic and
moral relaxation, he had had no OCCASION
Ia become acquainted with his own
strength or to communicate any adequate
suggestion of it to another.
A few evenings ago, however, young
gentleman named ELLIS, inflammable of
temper and volcanic of speech, saw fit to
annoy and irrtate and finally to attack
the amiable KoETTERs. The latter bore IL
good-naturedly until ELLIS introduced a
knife into the situation and, incidentally,
into KoETTERs, and then the brawny
plasterer hit hinl--just once for luck, as
il were. Once was enough. ELLIs fell,
and the quarrel ended. But the Coroner
ascertained that KoETrERs' fist actually
broke ELLIS skull. It did not crack it, it
broke it-smashed it rs a crowbar would
have done, And ELLIS now lies beneath
the sod and possibly the daisies.
KoETTRR's future is assured. All he
needs is q little training and then, if he
can be worked into fighting mood, who
will stand before him? Certainly no
second-class man-improbably Mr. SuLLG-
VAN himself. Few pugilists, even the
most accomplished and effective care tC
encounter a gentleman capable Of break
ing his skull with single blow. Tn,
chances are that KoErrERs can get tho
champanionship and all the glories ant
einoluments thereunto appertaining with
out really hurting anybody. lie car
wander about issuing challenges and ac
quiring belts and purses, until he retire
at an early age with the means Of floating
himself down to an honorable grave upol

G0THAM'S BROKEN BANK
TWO WAYS IN WHICH IT CAN GET
ON ITS FEET AGAIN.

Controller of the Currency Lacey
Points Out That They Offer the Only
Chance of Avoiding q Receivership-
stockholders Would Have to Come
to the Rescue.
WASHINGTON, March 2S-Mr. Lacey,
controller Of the currency. to-day received
the official report of National Bank Exami-
ner Hepburn in regard to the Washington
National Bank of New York, recently
closed, but be refused to disclose its contents.
He has, however, addressed a communica-
ton to Examiner Hepburn suggesting that
only two courses are open if a receivership
is to be avoided. In the first place the con-
troller can levy an assessment Of so per
cent. upon the capital stock, which would
reinforce the assets Of the bank by $150,000
cash. This could only be done, however,
in case the directors and larger stockholders
could agree to advance for share holders
not prepared for immediate payment, SO
that the whole amount might be paid in
without delay, those advancing the sums
awaiting reimbursement until all the
shareholders had paid their assessment.
COULD THEN RESUME.
In case this amount was paid in, The con-
troller says he would permit the bank to
resume business, and the amounts due the
depositors and creditors would be imme-
diately available. He says this course is
preferred for the reason that the assets will
be worth from 10 to 20 per cent. more il the
bank should resume than if it is closed by a
receiyership or liquidation.
ANOTHER WAY OUT.
In case resum ption is found impractic-
able, the controller suggests that $751;, 600 in
addition to the Immediately available as
sets already in hand would enable the bank
to pay it's creditors promptly in full, where.
. upon they could vote to go into voluntary
liquidation and close the affairs Of the bank
themselves.
HOW 1T COULD BE RAISED.
This S357,000 the controller suggests
might be raised upon pledge of the loans
and discounts Of the bank, supplemented, ii
necessary, by the personal guarantee OF the
larger shareholders The second plan,
the controller says, would be muoh the more
expeditions and somewhat more economical
than a receivership. He says he is in hopes
that one or the other of these plans may be
adopted, otherwise 1T will be his duty to ap-
point receiver and close the bank up u
the usual way.
