a CRASH IN PENNSYLVANIA.
THE CORY NATIONAL BANK CL0sED-LIABILI
TIES ESTIMAIED Al 3740,000.

THE CORY NATIONAL BANK CLOSED-LIAB1LI'
TIES ESTIMATED AT $4,000.
Cory, Penn, Nov. z (Special. CORY business
circles and, in fact, every person i'm the city was
astounded at the announcement to-day by Bank
Examiner Miller that he was in charge Of the
Cory National Bank, and would make state
ment at his earliest convenience through the
Controller Of the Currency at Washington. The
bank examiner came to Cory few days ago from
the Dill Bank at Punxsutawney on his regular
trip and to his surprise found such condition lof
affairs that he took immediate charge. President
T. A. Allen is too ill to be seen, and
the cashier Clarence G.. Harmon, refuses either TO
talk or be seen in spite of the demand OF the
denositors. Bank Examiner Miller refuses to
talk, but says that the deposits amount to
tn6e less than $55O,0OO. 1t is estimated that the
liabilities are about $74o,00o The paid-up
capital stock of the bank is 100000 and at the
last report they claimed a surplus of $16O,OOO
When the last report was made the bank showed
oyerirafts. securities loans and discounts
and so forth, amounting TO $73o,700 Since
then President Allen has been investing
largely in lumber interests in Warren and Forest
Counties Cashier Harmon has been investing In
vineyards and live stock farms, and has added
$50, 900 in improvements to the Cory City lrpn
Works and other enterprises. IL is feared THAI
the banks assets are now largely made up OF the
officers own paper. On the other hand, the OIL
cers claim that recent order of the Controller cut
off one of their best paying sources of revenue
and deposits the branch in Cory, and that EN-.
barrassed them greatly
The bank had clear field for several years
and did an enormous business with the surround
ing country. The tanners in Cory and Warren
and ad iacent towns, the merchants in Spartans
burg, Columbus and Spring Creek In Pennsyl
vania, and Climer, New-York, made their deposits
with the Cory National Bank, and the list Of
depositors embraced farmers, shopmen and work
ingmen of all grades. Thee-iourths of the bust
ness men and manufacturers Of Cory had their
deposits in the bank. Six years ago, when the
bank was in trouble, Erie bankers went to their
rescue, but found the institution able to get

THE NAVY YARD
A rumor started at the Navy Yard yesterday
that the Baltimore had been sunk by Cmllan
torpedoboat off Valparaiso. Singularly enough
it started on several ships at the same time, ana
from being galley yarn" it got outside the
gates and gained credence in Brooklyn iester-
day thirty men in addition TO the regular rorce
were placed at work In the yard in order to hurry
forward the completion of the battleship Maine
This, it was thought by the officers at the yard
last night, gave rise to the rumors OF war.
The report outside the yard was that men had
been ordered to work In the yard to the number OF
800, and that they were to work night and day
and on Sunday The sergeant of the guard, who
had caught the rumor as it was going out OF the
yard and got the password from 1t, was sur
prised later in the evening to see
crowd of reporters descend on him ana
clamor for talk with Captain Erben.
Captain Erben received no orders yesterday
from Washington. or any information of a war-like
nature There were no men at work in the Navy
Yard last night, except the lonely sentries OF the
ever-faithful marine corps, who paced their lonely
rounds on post No. and out on the dumps.
1t was regarded by the officers at the yard as a
singular psychological phenomenon that the r'imor
OF the sinking Of the Baltimore should have
50 suddenly sprung up on different ships as
it apparently did, but it was ascribed to the fact
that the outrage on American sailors in Valparaiso
had SO reused the feelings of the men on the
vessels here that even the appointment OF
thirty extra men as a working force in the
yard had started among them the
story which last night was spread broadcast over
New-York and Brooklyn. As matter of fact, the
Navy Yard last night bore its usual somnolent
aspect, and peace was within its gates.

that several persons are buried in the ruins
One of the blocks was q stone front, four stories
high, occupied by Herrick 81 Son, crockery jobbers
and retailers The other was of brick, three
stories high, occupied by the bakery and con-
fectionery establishment Of S. B. Laferty About
twenty people were In the dining-room in the rear
norton of the bakery. These heard the prcmonl-
torv cracking and rushed out of the
back door, all being saved. In Her
rick g. Sons store were the book&eeper
Carl Summer. and several clerks, all Of whom
iumped through back windows and doors. Sum-
ner was cut in the head, but otherwise was un-
injured
The front of both blocks fell into the street,
the heavy stonework of the Herrick block crash
ing clear to the ground. Several persons were
covered by the debris Frances Miner, age twen-
ty-fve of JehrsOns Corners, was pinned 10 the
ground by heavy stone, her right leg peing
crushed, Walter Stanley, aged twelve, was crushed

Miss Laura Waltz a school teacher. ran out of the
bakery through the front door and right through
falling stone and brick, and escaped with only
few scratches Mrs. David Frank; OF Copley,
and her daughter. Zedella Frank. were hit by
falling bricks and knocked down, but are not
seriously hurt.
Both Herrick g. Son and S. B. Lafferty say
that all their clerks got out safely. bystander
who was beyond reach Of the falling wreck, says
that two or three persons were on the sidewalk
just in front of Herrick's store when the crash
came, and that they were buried in the wreck.
Almeda Rush. aged sixteen, who was In the
BAKERY, was cut about the face. and was covered
with chemicals used in confectionery manufacture.
She is not dangerously hurt. The block occupied
by Herrick & Son was owned by I. Isbell of this
city, and Henry Clark. Of Hartford. Conn., The
one occupied by Lafferty was owned by the estate
of DR.. E. w. Howard Loss on the former is
$25, 900: on the latter 5000. Herrick & Son
lose 100000. Laferty's loss is about $4,000.
The rear walls Of both blocks stood intact and the
wreckage there did not fall to the first floor in
the 'front.' thus giving the occupants chance
to escape, and it was. 1t seems. miracle that
a score of lives were not lost The wall between
the two blocks has been partially undermined
in the last few years by water washing from an
over6owed sewer. The Isbell and Stark block was
pronounced unsafe some time ago. and B G.. Her
rick says that he called the attention of Isbell to
the unsafe condition of the cellar wall.

That Which Declines to Make Use of

Editor Morning Cal: In the current
number Of Harper's Magazine, Ven. Arch
deacon +. w. Farrar, DID,, has critical
and analytical article on the Salvation Army.
DR.. Farrar is not one whom the most con-
servatiYe may accuse of q leaning toward
radicalism, either in religious views, politics
or the adjustment of sociological problems.
In his consideration of the great movement
inaugurated by General" Booth, he is at
once generous and discriminating, and the
fact that his judgment is evidently meas
ured by critical standard gives added sig
nifcance to one utterance Of his in the sum-
ming up Of the whole matter. He credits
four things, which he calls remarkable ele-
mentS in its structure" with contributing
greatly to the success which the army has
attained. For that ii has attained success
he freely admits, and he gives precedence TO
the first named Of these four elements,
which, he says, is 1.-THE use which ii Uhe
army has made Of the energy and devotion
Of women"
Now this letter IS not defense of the Sal
walton Army. That institution and its
methods are aside from the real issue here
raised, but this issue is significant Here is a
high ecciesiaStic of a conservative religious or
ganization, existing in the most conservative
country in Europe, publicly declaring that
prime factor in the success of great re-

and devotion Of women" Contrasted with
this we have the spectacle OF a larger and

WOMEN AS BUSINESS WOMEN.

Why Is 1t That so Few Are Thoroughly
Successful as Such?
A writer in Wants for Women, in discuss
ing women from a business standpoint,
says:
There are few thoroughly successful bust
ness women, chiefly because they aspire to
something unattanable, namely, a position
in society, and, as a result, naturally meet
a rebuff. If a woman starting in business
will attend to it carefully seeking nothing
but money gain, there will be but few
failures. Another idea is to seek the adj
miratior of woman, not Of man. If woman
loves woman. so will they be admired by
the other sex. There is nothing so lovable
in woman as the gentle dignity which
says. am a woman in wOman's place, and
the mere matter of not seeking admiration
makes her all the more sought after. Never
try To attract attention in a public place
Never speak of being q business woman in
q Street-caT or thoTOughfare Simply draw
ing public attention Is not drawing public
regard. Keep in wOman's place although
you are occupying a mans position. Never
allow social pleasures to interfere with
business during business hours; always
preserve reserved appearance: always be
agreeable. never diScOurteouS; If complaints
are made, try TO repair the wrong; never
allow your temper To show Itself, and re-
member the old adage, sugar catches more
flies than vinegar" Lastly-but not least
By any means-dO not go into business I'M
less you are actually forced to. If there is
man IN your family DO not attempt TO help
make the living unless yyu are deprived Of
actual necessities, for men become careless
and neglect women when they see they can
do so; better try to live on his moderate in
come than increase it with your own labor,
which in time decreases his admiration for
you. Help him in many ways; look after
bis clothes that they may last longer; look
after the grocery and other bills necessary,
and keep them III accordance with your nus
bands income, and you VIII be more cheer
ful help than were you to go out in business
life. Have always a cheer ul smile when
his business goes wrong; say to him, Don't
bother your head, dear, 1 can do with a
little less" In this way the help is more
satisfactory, and will in every case bring
more happiness and lighter hearts than all
the wages you may be able to earn.
speak from experience.
