Means Resorted to by a German Girl

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-Among the emil

was a German family named Muller.
composed of mother, son John, aged 26,
and daughter Marguerite, aged %, beside
a son-in-law and his two children. The
family debarlzed from the steamer Prince
Bismarck. The daughter was in an in
teresting condition, evidently near its
elimination. When questioned by the
bureau officials, she indicated that her
brother John was responsible therefor.
The officials, not knowing of the relation
ship existing between the pair, told Mar
guerite that unless she and her betrayer
married they would both be sent back to
Germany. Both parties expressed Il
willingness to be married. They were

shrieked, why, that is my son; they
are brother and sister''
Upbraiding recriminations by the
mother and sister followed, while the
son, brother and husband looked on in
stolid indifference. The girl persisted
that John was the father of the unborn
child, while the mother protested that a
soldier in Mecklenberg, Germany, was
responsible. John would make no state
ment. The mother succeeded in melting
belief in the German soldier story, and
the conclusion was reached that the girl
had implicated her brother in order TO Sc

BANK FAILURE.

1ne 1haV0r1ck National BANK OF Boston

BosToN, Nov. 1.-The Maverick Ma

morrow morning. The decision to close
the doors was reached after protracted
conference of the Clearing house Com
mittee of the Boston National Bank. Sum
day morning. 1t is stated positively that
the failure will not entail any widespread
financial evils
The official announcement of the
suspension was made by the Clearing
house Committee this evening in a call
for meeting of the members of the
Clearinghouse tomorrow morning to
take action upon the proposition recon-
mended by the committee that all banks
composing the association unite in max
ing advances in cash to depositors in the
Maverick bank. The call states that the
object of making these advances is to re-
leve temporary embarrassment of de-
positors, and that the bank was closed by
the National Bank Examiner, acting un-
der instructions of the Comptroller of
Currency.
The immediate cause of the suspension
was the suicide of Irving Evans. and the
talk which followed it. The loss caused
the bank by dealings with Evans is not
large enough to seriously injure it, being
not more than S200.000, but the talk of the
street made the loss far greater. The
facts in the matter are in no sense dis
ereditable to MIR. Potter. The deposits In
the bank ten days ago amounted to moro
than Sl0,000,000. During last week more
than 81, 100000 was withdrawn. Friends
Of the banks management assert that it
will pay depositors dollar for dollar. A
Receiver will be appointed.

A true story is told of farmers dog
who had been found guilty of obtaining
goods under false pretenses. He is ex-
tremely fond of sausages, and has been
taught by his owner to go after them for
him, carrying written order in his
mouth. Day after day he appeared at
the butchers shop, bringing his masters
order, and by-and-by the butcher became
careless about reading the document
Finally, when settlement day came, the
farmer complained that he was charged
with more sausages than he had ordered.
The butcher was surprised, and the next
tline Lion came in with slip of paper
between his teeth be took the trouble to
look at it. The paper was blank, and
further investigation showed that when
ever the dog felt craving for sausages he
looked around for a piece of paper and
trotted off to the butchers. The farmer
is something out of pocket, but squares
the account by boasting of his dogs in
telligence.

V1ce-President Stubbs Expresses His
Opinion on the Subject.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. ii. C. Stubbs,
Third Vice-President of the Southern

from the East, said yesterday that there
was apparently little prospect of the
Eastern lines consenting to participate in
the reduction in rates on dried fruits and
canned goods adopted by the Transconti-

Of those roads, he continued, ''sav that
there is more profit in hauling Eastern
goods to Montana and other parts of the
country where the trade is not controlled
by the California fruit men than there is
in carrying the California product to the
East. If the reduced rates can be secured,
however, we mean to get them"
Speaking of the California Traffic Asso-

very well If the merchants refused to be
guided by the anti-railroad agitators.
From the standpoint of the railroad [

do not see how it can result in the build

hdent, aside from any inducement that
may be held out by the San Francisco
people, that competing line will come
here before very long. | do not say that
it would be good policy for the Santa Fe
to build to this city, for it already has a
line here by virtue of it's contract with
US, but 1t will probably take such a
course. The only reason, however, for
its building the line is the local traffic
which it would secure. In respect to
this its competition would not hurt our
system, while as for through business it
is already strong competitor"

SAN RAFAEL, Nov. 1.-Charles Schmidt,
confederate'of the notorious Sidney Bell,
was found dead in his cell at San Quentin
prison this morning. Schmidt was
brought to the prison yesterday. Just
! before being photographed he placed a
piece of folded paper IN his mouth and
then took drink of water. It is now be-
heyed that the paper contained morphine.
lie was then locked in cell and became
unconscious. His cell mates called the
attention of Captain Mclean to his con-
dition, but Mclean paid no attention to
them. They heard Schmidt moaning
throughout the night, but could do moth
ing for him. In the morning he was
dead. The Coroner's Jury met to-day,
but adjourned to await an analysis of his
stomach.
The crime for which Schmidt was i'm
prisoned was mysterious one. Over a
year ago Samuel jacobson. a prominent
young Hebrew, was. shot late at night
and killed. Before he died he claimed
That he was attacked by two highway
men near his house, and resisting them
the tall one shot him. Jacobson's story
was dlsbelieSed, however, and a number
OF sensational accounts have been pub
llshed, all agreeing, however, that he was
shot inside his house, either by a mem
Der Of his family or by man who was
visiting one of his female relatives. At
ter while three men were arrested
Sidney Bell, Edward Campbell and
Charles Schmidt. 1t was abundantly
proved that they all had been holding up
belated pedestrians in the city, and the
| first TWO agreed well with Jacobson's de-
scrlptlon of his murderers. Campbell
finally turned States evidence and con-
fessed. He and Bell had held UP Jacob
son, who resisted ana was shot by Bell.
| Schmidt was not present at the shooting,
but he testified to many corroborative
details. Bell was convicted of murder in
the first degree, and Campbell was set
| free.
Schmidt, however, was tried for other
robberies, convicted and sentenced to
San Quentin for fifteen years. He then
claimed that he had been induced to
swear against Bell by the police, who
! promised to release him, and declared
that his testimony was all false, and that
Bell was innocent. This brought out a
new crop of rOmances in regard to the
Jacobson murder. Bell has rich friends
in the East, who are working hard to
save his life. The authorities disbelieved
Schmidt's confession of perjury, and
he was sent to San Quentin yesterday.
He had often said that he would never
| remain there alive and has kept his
word.
