Timothy Healy Assaulted in Cork.

CORK, March 23.-Timothy Healy, NJ. P,
when leaving the court room to-day at the
conclusion of a trial in which he is inter
ested, was soon surrounded by bowling
mob, who followed him along the street,
and made number of attempts to assault
him. The crowd finally became so violent
that Healy, to escape his tormentors, was
compelled to beat a retreat and take refuge
IN the dining room of the Victoria hotel,
but this proved only temporary place of
safety, for before Healy could recover
from the effect of the mob's rough usage, a
man suddenly rushed into the room, turned
out tue light, and theu struck dealy
powerful blow in the face, smashing his
eye-glass into pieces. When assistance ar
rived and the room was lighted, Healy was
found to have been badly injured, as he had
received numerous cuts from the broken
pieces of his eye-glass, and the blood was
pouring down his face in streams He was
removed to room and physician sum-
woned. Three doctors are now in attend
ance. They have made an examination of
the wounds in his eyes, and express the
fear that Healy's injuries may result in the
loss of his sight

Washington National Bank to Close.

New York, March 23.-The official an
nouncement is made that the Washington
National bank at No. l, Broadway. would
not open its doors tomorrow. The banks
resources have been loaned out by the
president TO two friends, and the discovery
of its condition was accidentally made. The
bank is not member of the clearing house
association, but clears through the Gallatin
National bank. Under the rule of the
clearing house, which went into effect Jan
nary l, banks clearing in this way must
submit their accounts to examination by
the clearing house. To-day Bank Elk
aminer Hepburn, representing the clearing
house, appeared at the Washington bank
TO examine its affairs. He soon discovered
its capital was impaired. AS soon as this
announcement was made, President Sher-
man, who has been in charge of
recovered sufficiently to inform the the
directors he had been too liberal
in lending money to his friends Two &C
counts had been discovered, footing mn
$120, 900, that are probably total losses. One
is for $4,000, secured by poor and worth
less collateral, and the other a draft for
$4,000 on John Silva which had been
cashed by the president and chung on the
hook" 1t is said Silva has promised To
make this good tomorrow. The bank has
8 capital of $500, 600, and deposits of $500
600. The only officers present when a COM
plete announcement was made by the bank
examiner, were Cashier j. T. Granger and
Director Sidney Tilghman. The pres
dent had gone away, no one knew
where. The president of the Gallatin bank
at once gave notice that his institution
would no longer clear for the Washington
bank. This news will prevent any attempt
being made to make up the loss. Director
Tilghman said; ''The bank viii be placed
in charge of Bank Examiner Hepburn, and
most probably wound up. l am positive
every deposItor will be paid in full.''
Cashier Granger said the developments
were surprise to both himself and the
directors None of them had any Idea the
president was involved in any irregular
transactions, and he could say nothing
about the details of the method by which
the funds were withdrawn.
Director Tilghman said he discovered
some slight irregularities about week
ago. An investigation showed the i'm
pairment of the capital was in the neigh

Gailatln National bank were very friendly

disclosed other things which had been con-
ceaied, increasing the impairment fully

Sald, with paid-up capital of S300,000
Inc directors all had confidence in Presi
dent Sherman, ana it did seem as though a
man who had been cashier of an
active New York bank for a num-
Der OF years, which had deposits and
a capital amounting to nearly $1,000. coo,
would be able to run successfully a small
bank starting with 100000 capital. The
directors have held their regular meetings
and given considerable attention to the de-
tails of the band, but it seems it was not
possible to follow the intricacies of a well
conceived plan for hiding the facts in re-
gard to the condition of the bank. Our net
deposits at the present time are only about
5000, 900. Our capital, although only $780,
COO, feel sure is more than enough to Sc
cure every depositor. l am positive every
depositor will be paid in full without any
call on the stockholders.
Another transaction was the loan of
s., 300, secured by first mortgage bonds of
Prescott 81 Arizona railroad to the amount
of $4,000 The bonds, he said, were con-
sidered good. President Sherman said de-
posltors would be all secured. There would
be some some little loss. but that would
come out of the stockholders. Depositors
might have to wait short time because
the money had been lent on notes which
could not be collected now.
President Sherman was seen this even
ing. He feels keenly the closing of the
bank and said it was unnecessary and that
all would have been right il the directors
had let him alone. Answering the &C
cuSatlon that he had given great latitude
IN loans and had accepted Undesirable securi-
ties; he said the first loan was made to
cover an overdraft because he wanted to
save the bank from loss and the man from
failure. He hoped to recover the money
In short time, but admitted the security
was not frst-class collateral: that the
overdraft was between S73, 600 and So, 1000
The second transaction was where a
man opened and continued an account by
depositing checks on out of town banks
and drafts on his principals in Bridgeport,
Conn. One or two of the drafts were re-
fused but as the Bridgeport correspondent
reported the firm was good, ne (Sherman)
continued to honor their paper because he
feared the man might be embarrassed ard
he believed he would eventually make
everything good. Some of the drafts had
been paid quite recently. The directors,
he said, knew of this transaction which
amounted to 5000

Cork committee in which he says the tone
of studied insult and the untruthful char
acter OF the statements made in Healy's

they should both resign their seats in

latter's friends. Parnell adds it is impos-

pllcation for the Chiltern Hundreds in
Nolan's hands, requesting him to forward
