FORCED TO CLOSE ITS DOORS.
A KENTUCKY BANK COULD NOT MEET
ITS OBLIGATIONS.

1t Had Too Many Irons In the Fire and
tho Depositors We're suspicious-The
Shortage Is Over One Hundred Thou
sand Dollars.
LOUISVILLE, Aug. S.-The Masonic Saw
ings Bank assigned this afternoon to the
Safety Vault and Trust Company. The
capital is $3.50, 200, and the deposits 5000, :
000 The bank was one of the first to re-
quire the aid of the Clearing House when
the stringency came last year. 1t carried
heavy savings deposits, and as soon as a
depositors began to draw out. On the list
of January, however, the statement showed
about 81 ,25O,0 900 deposits. But it was
generally known that the President of the
bank, Jacob Krieger, Sr., was backing the
bridge under construction between this city
and Jacksonville, Ind, and work on
that had been suspended.
Depositors continued to draw out their
funds, but by stout effort President
Krieger succeeded in restoring confidence
and all was thought safe. In March came
the Schwartz Bank failure. Then came the
Falls City failure and depositors were again
alarmed. The bank was carrying the bridge
project and an improvement company in
connection with it. They had also the
general closeness of the money market to
contend with.
The directors took advantage of the rule
requiring savings depositors to give 80 days
notice, and during the interval they have
made desperate efforts to right the concern.
To-day it was found that the bank owed the
clearing house S132, 800 and while it had
secured this amount by gilt edge collateral
it was unable to furnish satisfactory security
for the additional funds needed to meet pay
ments at the expiration of the 30-day limit
next week. The assignment followed.
1t was not surprise in business circles.
The deed simply makes the Germania Trust
Company trustee for the settlement of the
banks affairs by collections, sales and pay
ments as rapidly as possible according to
legal rights of all. A statement of the
banks affairs cannot be obtained, but it is
confidently asserted that it will pay dollar

rsPEcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArCH.I
BOSTON, Aug S.-Lynn had a sensational
whipping affair to-day, in which the leading
figures were Mrs. Lizzie F. Dodge, Secre-
tary of the Essex County Helping Hand
Society, an organization for raising fallen
women, and DR.. J. B. Andrews, a we'll
known physician. Some time since Mrs.
Dodge, so it is reported, contracted bill
with DIR. Andrews which he has upon
numerous occasions endeavored with ill
success to collect, Mrs. Dodge DENYING her
liability, claiming that the bill was con-
tracted by her husband. DR.. Andrews,
so it is alleged, sent letters to Mrs Dodge,
even impeaching the lady's honor. He also
placed the alleged claim in the hands of a
Chicago collection agency. Mrs. Dodge re-
ceived several letters from the concern,
which she placed in the hands of her couH-
sci, who threatened TO prosecute. The
futile attempt to collect the bill angered
the doctor and, so rumor has it, he CON-
menced to circulate unpleasant stories rela-
tive to Mrs. Dodge's character.
This morning Mrs. Dodge, by accident,
met DIR. Andrews in q printing Office. Mrs.
Dodge accused the doctor of slandering her,
and charges and counter charges were made.
For about an hour the wordy conflict con-
tinued, until unable longer to control her
anger, Mrs. Dodge struck the doctor in the
face with her hand He attempted to re-
sent it, when the irate woman struck at him
right and left, occasionally using her feet
and kicking him.
DIR. Andrews attemptedto escape, but the
angry Secretary of the Helping Hand
Society gave chase and kicked him through
the printing office, following him to the
street. Andrews went home, while Mrs.
Dodge called on City Marshal Wells and
surrendered herself She was allowed to
GO, however, as no complaint had been
made. Both are prominent in the work of
the Baptist Church.

THREE DWELLINGS BURNED.

A Five Thousand Dollar Blaze In the
Twelfth Ward This Morning.
The explosion of lamp caused the total
destruction of three houses in the Twelfth
ward early this morning. The fire started
in the kitchen of the house occup led by
Mrs. Mary Cotter, and was caused by the
upsetting of lamp. The building was
soon enveloped in flames which communi-
Gated with the next building occupied by
Jerry Thomas, and from there to the build
ing occupied and owned by John Reardon.
An alarm was turned in from box g.. The
engines were of no use, as there is no water
supply on the hillside. The three buildings,
which were two-story frames, were soon
burned to the ground. The house of John
Boley on the opposite side of the street was
badly scorched. The families all managed
to get their household goods out
The houses occupied by Mrs. Cotter and
Mr. Thomas were owned by Mr.. Phipps, a
brother of Mr. Henry Phipps, and his loss
will amount to So, 800, and were partly in
sured. Mr.. Reardon's loss is 81 300, with
no insurance.
The fire attracted a very large crowd of
people, as the blazing buildings on the hill
side could be seen quite distance.

BRITAIN's CROP PROSPECTS.

LONDON, Aug. S-There has been little
or no change in the money market or
stock market to-day. The grain market
opened practically unchanged, in spite of
telegram from ST. Petersburg that the Min
isterial Council has decided to prohibit the
export of grain from Russia The London
Times to-day published its annual estimate
of the average condition Of the crops on
August 3. 1t gives the average condition
by counties, and then makes the average
for the whole country by adding the
county averages and dividing by the num-
Der of counties. This system is necessarily
faulty, as, for example, one-quarter of the
counties given contain one-half of the total
acreage in wheat, and in those counties the
average is higher than for the whole of Eng
land or Great Britain.
Nevertheless, it is interesting to know
that the general crops all show an improve
ment since the previous report of July 6.
On that date the condition of wheat in Eng
land was estimated at 964-10 and on August
3, 97.6-10 of an average crop. Since August
8 the conditions have not been favorable,
and private reports from important coun-
tries show that the growing grain has been
damaged by wind and rain.

OHIO PRoHIBITIoNIsrs SPLIT.
Chairman Calvin, of Clark County, Says the
Party is Revolutionary.

SPRINGFIELD, O., Aug. s.-Chairman s.
WILDER Calvin, of the Clark County Pro-
hibition Central Committee, and one other
member, A. L. Slayer, resigned this after
noon. The party is split in the county, and
as Calvin is one of the most prominent
Prohibitionists in Ohio, the split will prob
ably extend over the State.
The trouble grows out of fight in the
late State Convention over q one-ideaed
platform. The letter of resignation charges
the Prohibition party with being an annex
of the Peoples party, and that it indorses
measures revolutionary and positively det-
rimental to the best interest of the whole
people. Calvin is the acknowledged leader
of the one-idea faction and has large fol-
lowing.

the treaty in regard to Cuba and Porto
Rico, recently ratified by Spain and the
United States, held a meeting to protest
against the commercial relations that will
be established under the new arrangement.
The effect of the treaty was set forth at
length by the various speakers, who de-
clared that it would render Cuba a colony
of the United States. The speakers were
very energetic in their denunciations of the
treaty, and there was great excitement
among the audience. The meeting decided
to use all the means in its power to secure
the revocation of the treaty, and it was also
decided to summon monster meeting of all
the people engaged in the Catalan trade to
protest against it.

It would be hard to say how Christian.
ity-in-name, as we usually have it, could
improve the conduct or character of the
Japanese women, who seem always to
have been very good Christians without
knowing it, if we are to believe Miss
Bacon. Perhaps the answer to the con-
undrum is that Christianity is not pri-
marily purifying force, but is first an
enlightening force; that its ideal is
virtue, not innocence-Gethsema not
Eden. The harmlessuess of the dove
will not avail without the wisdom of the
serpent; the impulse of our faith is to-
ward consciousness, knowledge. No
doubt this is what the japanese feel in
it; probably it is what makes them will
ing to change their civilization for ours.
They really seem race of better and
sweeter nature than ourselves; unless
their witnesses misreport them they are
gentler, kinder, even truer, than we are
naturally.
But something seems lacking to them,
and they look toward US for it; they
fancy spiritual possibilities on the plane
which we tell them is above theirs. The
fine perfection of their art is stunted
beauty; it has never the infinite reach
of the Greek; the loveliness of their
lives is childlike; it has not the celestial
aspiration of the Hebrew; and no doubt
they feel this as clearly as they perceive
the difference between US and our ideals.
