Institution Completely Wrecked by sys-

Period OF Twenty Years
KINasToN, N Y, Oct. g. --As q result
Of an examination carried on for sew
eral days by bank examiners, the
Ulster County Savings Institution Of
Kingston did not open for business
Saturday. Treasurer 0strander Of the
bank was recently arrested, charged
with misappropriating $4,000 Of the
funds, and this caused run, but the
furry ceased on the announcement be-
ing made by men in position to know,
that the bank was sound. The exami-
nation of the banks affairs shows
Ostrander and Assistant Treasurer
Matthew Trumpbour to be S46s, 900 short
in their accounts. Trumpbour has also
been arrested and 0strander's bonds
men have given him UP. Bank Super
intendent Preston is in charge Of the
institution. The examiners have not
completed their work, and further
stealings are expected to be unearthed.
Trumpbour had his clothes packed up
and was preparing to leave town when
arrested. He is in Jail, as is also 0s-
trander
When the arrest OF 0strander resulted
in q run on the bank the other banks
came to the rescue. and the trustees OF
the Ulster County Savings Institution
made statement showing resource Of
50, 1874, oS5. o2; liabilities due depositors,
81, 1857, 7Sl 20; surplus, s947, ,25S.76. They
declared that they knew Of no safer
place In the county to deposit money.
The loss by 0strander's operations had
been partly made good and they hoped
to secure the remainder, but In any
event the loss could not affect deposit
ors This was also signed by Judge
Parker, Cen Sharpe, Judge Kenyon,
Postmaster Wolven, Editor Soaring, Of
the Kingston Leader, and other reputa-
BILE citizens. and II had such reassur'
ing effect that depositors who drew out
their money during the run redeposited
IT, The feeling against the men who
signed the statement Is bitter. Most Of
the depositors are poor people, many o.
them old men and women dependent or
the interest on the small amounts they
had in the bank, and these can be seer
weeping over their loss in all parts o
the city.
First Vice President Broadhead, who
was in executive charge Of the bank, l
also severely censured for signing th,
statement, Broadhead has been one o
the most popular young men in thu
county, having been recently electe'

A Daring Bank Robbery.

A special from Eilingham. Illinois,
dated the llth, says: A daring bank rob
berry occurred here o-day. There was q
soldiers reunion in progress, and while
the streets were thronged with people two
desperadoes entered the First National
Bank and, drawing. their revolvers, or.
dered Cashier Partridge to hand over tho
cash.
Partridge steppcd 10 tho vault behind
the iron door and yelled for help. The
robbers sprang over the counter, one Gov
ering the cashier with u revolver, while
the other grabbed all tho money In sight.
Both men then fed. The crowds outside
then began 10 understand what was the
matter and hundreds OF people gave chase
The robbers, however, held them of
with drawn revolvcrs for time, but they
were finally surrounded aud surrendered.
The excitement was at fever heat aud, II
the robbers had fired single shot, they
would have bcca both iynchcd On tho spot
The stolen money, s2o0, was recovered.

Free Delivery in Small Towns

The postmaster general was indig-
nant when he learned that during his
absence on vacation an III Informed
clerk in one OF tho Offices OF the postof,icc
department had given out false informa
tion TO the press that the free delivery ex.
perimcnts in small towns ia not success.
He caused an examination OF the last rc
port from these experiments TO be made
and found they were succeeding beyond
his most sanguine expectations. and in a
way utterly TO confound the critics OF
the experiment 1t Is already an estab
lished fact, 1t is stated, that the incrcasee
revenue In those Offices where the free
delivery experiment is on trial almost pays
for tho increased expenditure.
Even II the free delivery does no, quite
pay for itself, 1t is likely that the post
master general will ask Congress to con
slider the question whether tho rural dis
iricts OF tho country may not properly
expect this slight contribution to their
postal facilities, where, In 50 many quar-
tiers, they have had up to tho present time
been NO limited.

A Fight With Outlaws,

Verdict on the Park Place DSsa.tcr.

The jury investigating tho Park
Placc disaster has returned Its verdict.
1t Is very peculiar one aud docs not
specify any person or persons who is TO
blame for the disaster or any definite
cause therefor, 1t finds that while the
timbers and walls of the building were OF
fairly good material and construction, tho
iron columns were not as strong US the
specifications called for. 1t also finds that
tho fall OF the building resulted In the
breaking OF one or more Of these columns
but that tho fracture Of these columns
was due to some shock applied to their
exterior and primarily duo to their In
hcrent weakness. The Jury says, how.
ever, that 1t Is unable to determine
whether this was caused by the explosion
OF benzine or some other shock. In con.
clusion the jury recommends that the
legislature provide for periodical inspec,
tion of all buildings used for printing,
manufacturing, storage or similar pur
poses, SO Us toinsure against overlooking
and the use Of explosives or dangerously
iniiammable substances in any building
where other labor is employed.

ENGLAND MAKES A NOW.
As an Offset to Russian Eneroaeh:
ment She seizss ln Island Near
Conata nj ontA

A dispatch from Constantinople
lated the I4th, says: A detachment Of
blue Jackets and marines from q British
IRON clad, accompanied by . battery OF
light field pieces aud several 0stilng guns,
was landed yesterday morning at Sigri,
on the island OF Mitylene, formally occu-
pying that place In the name Of the Queen
Of England There ID good harbor at
Sigri, and II is supposed that this British
naval officers at Mityiene intend to fortify
the island aud mako 1t q coaling station
and rendezvous for the British Moditer-
fanoan fleets. Sigri is on the coast Of
Mitylene and 10 about sixty miles from
the mouth Of the Dardanelles.
Late this evening another and still
more startling dispatch comes by tele-
graph from Athens. 1t is that the Greek
consuls at Mityleue and at Smyrna have
wired tho Greek government that British
men.of.war landed troops and guus ut
Sigri On Friday, aud that ,hoy have
already strongly fortified that place.
Explanations and denials made by the
British war ohice IRE very vague and un
satisfactory.
Notwithstanding tho qualified denial by
the government officials Of the reported
seizure OF u port on the Island Of NIFTY
lene, public opinion 10 almost universally
to tho effect that the situation Ut the Uar-
danelles will be met by England with
force. In public places nothing else 10
talked OF, although II Is not believed that
Turkey will spprove any violent resist
anco to such steps as England may
chobso TO take.
The British fleet is now equal In line Of
battle ships to the fleets of any other two
European powers, and would, in the opin-
ion Of naval officers, speedily cloar the
Dardanelles and the Black Sea OF Russian
craft, and also give u good account Of tho
French II thay should Interfere.
1t tan be stated on high authority that
Sir William White asked the Sultan TO as
sent to the British occupation Of some
point within striking distance of the
straits and offering good harborage for
the feet. Tenedos and Besika Boy were
tho fleet rendezvous for 1916 to 1878, and
have been surveyed recently and were re.
ported to the admiralty adversely. The
offer made TO the Sultan revived the re.
quest which the British government made
in 1871, prior TO the acquisition of Cy-
prus, to purchase m island near the
Dardanelles. This project was long the
subject Of negotiations, and was sband oned
on tho signing Of tho Anglo Turkish con.
vention in June, 1878.
The seizing Of Sigri therefore cannot
have occurred without the connivance Of
the Sultan. An Official announcement is
sued in Constantinople yesterday stated
that complete entente had been ar
ranged between Sir William White and
the Sultan, but the terms of tho restored
harmony were not mentioned.
