CLAYTON WHITE IN JAIL.
The Wife Beater and Assailant of Gen.
Mansfield Treated Lenientiv.


In obedience to the order of commit
ment issued in the superior court last
Saturday, the Hon. Clayton White yes
terday morning walked into the Office of
the chief Of police and gave himself up
to serve his sentence. Whites punish
ment for his assault upon the person Of
General Mansfield was fixed some
months ago in the city justice court,
at sixty days imprisonment, and his
appeal not having been sustained, he
will now have to spend two months in
the city prison.
There was no little curiosity mani
tested yesterday by officers and citizens
who wanted to know if White would or
would not be made to work out his time
in the chain gang. Prudent Chief Glass
last evening sympathetically decided
the matter by issuing an order making
Mr.. White trusty during good behay-
ior, so that so long as he does we'll and
attendssto his duties, the belligerent at
torney will be spared the modification
of appearing on the public highways
wearing the significant ball and chain
insignia.

The directors all had confidence in
President Sherman, and it did seem as
though man WHO had been cashier Of
an active New York bank for number
of years, which had deposits
and capital amounting to near
ly $7,000,00O, would be able to
run successfully small bank, starting
with 100000 capital. The directors
have held regular meetings and given
considerable attention to the details ol
the bank, but it seems that it was not
possible to follow the eintricacies OF q
well conceived plan for hiding
the facts in regard to the
condition of the bank. Our net
deposits at the present time are only
about 100000. Our capital, although
only $500, 900, feel sure is more than
enough to secure every depositor.. ! am
positive every depositor will be paid in
full, without any call on the stockhold.

What City Engineer Dockweiler Has to
Say-A Workingman's Statement.
City Engineer Dockweiler was seen
yesterday in reference to the report of
the sewer inspection committee, which
was presented to the council and which
threw couleur de rose glamour over
the whole sewer system.
II have plenty to say about the mat
ter when I make my report" said the
engineer, meanwhile l do not care to
express myself. You can say, however,
that of the four miles of sewer, two and
half are full of water, and so could not
have been inspected. / suppose you
noticed also that the report admits that
only the four inches of concrete were
used where the specifications called for
six and half inches, but stated that
four inches was enough. There are
other points which do not care to men,
ton until make my report"
Mr.. Robert Connor, who lives at Ten
nessee and Newton streets, told HER
AID reporter yesterday that he had been
employed on the sewers from the
9th OF last July to the 11th of the pres
ent month. He stated that he knew of
his own knowledge, that the sewer from
Pico to Washington street was full of
defects and shortcomings. He knew, he
said, that ten barrels Of sand had been
used to one of cement, that the joints
varied from an inch to quarter of an
inch in thickness, and that the water
leaked in from the outside in streams in
some places half an inch or 80. He
stated that he could get great num-
Der of affidayits in support of his state
ments.

TOO LIBERAL TO HIS FRIENDS.
"A New York Bank Wrecked by II
President.

A New York Bank Wrecked by It's
President.
New YORK, March 23.-The official
announcement was made tonight that
the Washington National bank, at No. l
Broadway, would not open its doors to-
morrow. The banks resources have
been loaned out by the president to two
friends, and the discovery of this condi-
tion was accidentally made. The bank
is not member of the Clearing House
association, but clears through the Gal
latin National bank. Under the rule of
the clearing house which went into eff
feet January 1st, banks clearing in this
way must submit their accounts to ex-
animation by the clearing house. Bank
Examiner Hepburn, representing the
clearing houses, appeared at the Wash
ington bank to examine Its affairs. He
soon discovered that it's capital was ex-
hausted.
As soon as this announcement was
made, President Sherman, who had been
in charge of the bank, was Frustrated,
but recovered sufficiently to inform the
directors that he had been too liberal in
lending money to his friends. Two ac-
counts have been discovered, footing up
$12l 900, that are probably total losses.
One is for 70,000 secured by poor and
worthless collateral, and the other is a
draft for $4,000 on John Silva, which
had been cashed by the president and
N'hung ON the hook" The bank had a
capital OF 100000 and deposits of $780,
900.
The only officers present when
the complete announcement was
made by the bank examiner,
were Cashier J. T. Granger, and
Director Sidney Tilghman. The presi-
dent had gone away, no one knew
where. The president of the Gallatin
bank at once gave notice that his insti-
tuition would no longer clear for the
Washington bank. This news prevented
any attempt being made to take up the
losses.
Director Tilghman said: "The bank
will be placed in charge of Bank Ex-
aminer Hepburn, and will most prob
ably be wound up. am positive every
depositor will be paid in full"
Cashier Granger said the develop
ments were a surprise to both himself
and the directors. None OF them had
any idea that the president was involved
in any irregular transactions, and he
could say nothing about the details of
the methods by which the funds were
withdrawn.
Director Filgham said he discovered
some slight Irregularities about week
ago. An investigation disclosed an i'm
pairment of the capital in the
neighborhood of $4,000. The Off
cials of the Gallatin national
were very friendly and promised
to continue to clear for the bank if the
impairment was made good. Tilghman
was about to pay in a check for $75, 900,
today, when President Sherman dis
closed other things which had been con-
cealed, increasing the impairment fully
100000. Under these circumstances
Tilghman did not see how the bank
could continue.
"We began business last June" said
he, with paid up capital of $500, 900.

He Can for Them.
Associated Press Dispatches.

WASHINGTON, March 20. - The COM
mittee appointed at the recent conven-
tion OF the Afro-American Press associa-
ton, called upon President Harrison
today, and presented an address urging
the appointment of colored man on
the worlds fair commission, and also a
'capable negro jurist to fill place on
the bench of the federal judiciary" The
address says in part:
sour national progress has been rapid
in all directions. Many millions in
money are the value of the products OF
negro labor; the wealth of many great
states has been created by his toll, and
the staples of vast region of the repub-
lie which load our chambers, bless our ta-
bles and furnish material for factories to
work, are the result of the patience and
industry OF the class in whose behalf
we speak. Believing in your sincere
desire to extend impartial treatment to
all classes, we respectfully invite your
excellency to consider the propriety of
1iarly illustrative of the nations prog
IceS, III d dICplCECllIdbifC anu PiOhiihCho
position in connection with the world 9
fair. In many states of the union, as
well as in our national congress,
Negro and his affairs, is still
a matter of serious discussion and legis-
lation. That he may be clothed with
power to speak for himself with author
ity; that the old time idea of fair play
may prevail, which grants to the peers
of the accused the right to a voice in
judgment, we beseech that you will con-
slider the merits OF number of able
jurists who belong to the people we
represent in the judicial appointments
the near future"
The president, in response, said so far
as position on the worlds fair commits
sion was concerned, there were no va
.cancies, and if one we're to occur, an al
ternate would fill the place. Ifit became
possible, however. to do anything, and a
proper man was presented, he would
make the appointment.
Speaking with reference to the re-
quest that colored man be appointed
to the bench, the president asked if the
delegation had man who was thoroughly
versed in law, and had arrived at the
eminence in practice which would en-
title him to appointment as circuit
judge.
''Name good man." said the presi-
dent, land will give it that considera-
ton which it's Importance commands" /"
When the committee told the presi-
dent that there were number of that
class among the race whose names
would be presented to him, with the in
dorsement of the bar in the state in
which they practiced, he advised that
their names be sent in and promised to
consider them impartially.
The interview was very pleasant, the
president inviting the committee to call
again, and thanking the negro press
convention for its kindly remembrance
OF his endeavors to act fairly by the race.
