THE LIBERATOR SOCIETY.
Its Collapse Likely to Bring About a
Financial Sensation.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-The collapse Of the
Liberator Building Society simulta-
neously with the downfall Of the London
and General Bank last September is
likely to develop into very big tinan-
cial sensation. The figures just presented
to a meeting Of the shareholders and
creditors of the Liberator Society are
worse than even the most pessimistic
had anticipated.
The receiver said that the society owed
the shareholders and creditors E3, ,3l3, 900,
while the reserve fund is only 100000,
and is little better than book account at
that. The mortgages amounted to x, 49,
600, and were at first supposed to be good
assets, but an investigation has shown
that they are probably valueless, as 93,-
lSS, ,zS6 has been lent to three companies
now in liquidation with virtually no free
assets, there being only 45O,000 in sight
The bulk of money has been lent on
nothing better than third liens.

HORRIBLE CRIME,
Committed by an Insane Constable in
Ireland,

Ireland.
DUBLIN, Nov. IA horrible crime was
committed last night in the Royal Irish
Constabulary barracks at Ballinadrina
County Kildare. Constable Pilkington,
it is supposed with a sudden tit OF in
sanity, entered the bedroom where Ser
geant Logan and his wife were sleeping,
and shot them both with a revolver, kill
ing them instantly.
The madman then went to the room
where Logan's children were sleeping,
and attacking them left them for dead.
Two were found dead with their heads
crushed in, and three were fatally in
jured, the remaining two being seri-
ously hart. Pilkington then tried
to burn the barracks, but the alarm
was spread, and, finding him
self discovered, he committed suicide.
The crime is ascribed to no motive, and
its horrible character points to nothing
but sudden attack of homicidal mania.
