New YoRK, June %. Edward Devens
shot and killed Max Clargstt at noon
yesterday in part II. Of the General

Scored sIgns for a Cathollc Order.

TORONTO, Ont, June 2S.-At a session
Of the Roman Catholic Union Of the
Knights Of st. John, q resolution was
adopted instructing the Supreme Board
of Trustees to draw up a system of
signs and passwords. The adoption of
such a code has long been under dis
cussion, but was opposed by the clergy.
A petition, however, was recently cir
culated and upon its presentation to
Archbishop Walsh, Supreme Spiritual
Adviser of the order, was approved by
him, he stating in letter that such a
code might be adopted provided such
passwords and signs be made known to
the competent ecclesiastical authority,
if asked for.

Suffering Little, But Expects to BE Able
to Keep an Engagement.


LONDON, June %. Mr. Gladstone tele-
graphs to the correspondent of the 'In-
ternational Telegraph Company" as fol-
lows:
81 am doing well. 1 am under
the care of Dr. Granger, of Chester. 1
hope to keep my engagements in the
North. WILLIAM K, GLADSTONE
Since 1t became certain that the in
jury to MIR. Gladstone was in all prob
ability the result Of heedlessness, the
public excitement on the subject has
calmed down considerably.
The throwing of stones and other
missiles at gentlemen's carriages has
grown to be a serious annoyance in Lon
don and other places. 1t seems to be
one way Of expressing the antipathy of
the lowest class of wealth in any form,
and it is believed that Mr.. Gladstone
was pelted just as any other gentlem an
would have been pelted who might
have happened to be passing at the time
Among the kilograms received at
Hawarden regarding Mr.. Gladston g s
condition were anxious and sympathetic
inquiries from Mr.. Balfour and other
Conservative leaders.
Mr.. Gladstone's Midlothian constitu-
ents also showed their anxiety for the
welfare of their champion.
The woman who, it is alleged, threw
the pebble that hit Mr.. Gladstone below
the eye, is still unknown to the police.

That Is What Goshen Bank
Depositors Are Asking.
MuRRAY's MYSTERIOUS ACTIONS

He Is Also Treasurer of the COunty--om-
cial Investigation Into the Affairs of the
Closed Bank Being Made--The Shortage
Said to be $50, 900.
GOSHEN, N. Y, June 2s.-The Goshen
National Bank failed to open its doors

pended on It's doors;
'By order Of the Board of Directors of
the National Bank, pending an examina-
tion of the books, securities and ac-
counts by the bank examiner, this bank
will be closed. The directors desire to
say to the depositors and the public that
a somewhat hssty examination has been
made by them, and nothing has been
discovered which renders doubtful
speedy payment in full to all the deposit
tors, and it is now expected that the
bank will be open for the regular trans
action of business in few days"
William NJ. Murray, the cashier of the
bank, is missing and is said to be in
New York. At special meeting of the
directors held on Thursday. it was dis
loans to Mr.. Murray and others on in
sufficient securities, and that its finances
were in very confused and unsatisfac-
tory condition. At another meeting of
the directors held on Saturday it was
decided that the institution be closed
pending an official investigation of its
affairs. Bank Examiner E. NJ. Gettman
has arrived and is conducting the in
vestigation.
Cashier Murray is son of the late
Congressman William Murray, a former
president of the bank. Murray is also
Treasurer of Orange county. His friends
say he has acted strangely of late, and
they believe that his mind is affected.
He returned from New York Sunday
night, but left again yesterday morning,
and his present whereabouts are un.
known. 1t is said that before leaving
home yesterday he filed his resignation
of the post of County Treasurer.
All sorts of rumors are current con-
cerning the actual condition of the
bank. 1t is generally reported that
there is a shortage of from 500, 900 to
$50, 600. The capital stock of the bank
is $llO, 900, and its surplus about S22, :
900. The surplus is believed to have
been sunk and the capital seriously i'm
paired. The directors are wealthy men,
30 it Ia believed the impairment of the
capital will be made good and the bank
resume business. The funds of the coun-
ty in Treasurer Murray's hands are be-
lieved to be intact.
1t is said here that Cashier Murray
and his family have been living extrava-
gantly for some years past, and that his
expenses have considerably exceeded his
income He recently built house at a
cost Of $15, 900, and fitted it with ex-
pensive furniture. This and other ex-
travagances are mentioned as account
ing in large degree for his present
financial troubles.

GREAT HAVOC BY STORM.
Several Pennsylvania Towns
Suffer Heavily.
IMMENSE LOSS AT WlLLlAMsPoRT.

Scarcely a House Escaped Damage Many
Miraculous Escapes Rooorded--severaI
Buildings Entirely Destroyed Crops Al
most tRuined--Damage Elsewhere.
WLLTAMsPoRT, Pa, June 2S.--This
city was struck by furious cyclonic
storm at o'clock last evening which
caused damage aggregating $50, 000
The track of the whirlwind was narrow,
but it reached almost the entire length
of the city. Starting up in the west it
partly unroofed the Demorest and Man =
key factories, and blew the chimneys
from a score of houses.
Further east on Park avenue for a
distance of half mile scarcely a build
ing escaped damage; roofs were peeled
off, chimneys toppled over, and trees
twisted like pipe stems. On Bennett
street the large hall of the Turn Verin
Vorwaerts WAS reduced to a pile of
kindling wood, the destruction icing
made complete.
At this point whole sections of the
sidewalk were taken up and hurl ed
through the air. Portions of the debris
Vi Luo L Urn nan were Carried u great
distance. Thousands of panes of win
dow glass were blown in by the fury of
the wind.
The Williamsport Woolen Mills in the
eastern section of the city were almost
demolished. A workman on scaffold
of new building was hurled to the
ground and seriously injured.
Many miraculous escapes are re-
ported. In several instances pedestrians
were lifted from their feet, and one man
was blown clear across the street and
jammed SO tight to a fence that he could
not escape.
Light buildings were crushed like egg
shells, and bricks from chimneys were
sent through the air in several instances,
smashing into houses on the opposite
side of the street.
The rain poured in tor rents in unroof-
ed houses, which were drenched to the
cellars. 1t is reported that tree struck
a Northern Central passenger train
breaking the windows of the rear car.
Trees were blown across the track, and
locomotives were used to pull them off.
Lightning struck several houses. The
full extent of the damage cannot yet be
estimated. Electric light wires are
down, and the city was in darkness last
night ....
