PREFERRED A BANKER.
Ex-Congressman Dunham, of Chi
cago, Files q Sensational Suit
for Divorce.
A Prominent Banker of the
Worlds Fair City Named as
Co-Respondent.

CHICAGO, March 25.-Ex-Congress-
man Ransom W. Dunham today filed in
the circuit court bill for divorce from
his wife. The bill is sensational one,
charges being of the gravest character,
and the correspondent of the bill being
prominent banker of this city. Be
hind the bill is an action against the
banker, which has not yet been filed, in
which $4,000 damages will be claimed
by Mr.. Durham for alienation of the
affections of his wife. There will be
other sensational developments than
those Of sighting of the marriage re.
lations. Property interests involving
many thousands of dollars will be con-
cerned, and in this connection Judge
Horton today issued an injunction re-
Straining the disposition of property by.
the principal defendant or any of the
one or two correspondents.
In his bill Mr.. Durham declares that.
some time ago he decided to his wife the
homestead in which he now lives in
order to secure to her home, and that
he also assigned to her life insurance
polices amounting to $4,000, OH which
he is still making payments. He de-
clares that she is about to dispose of
these things and leave him without
home. He also asserts that Dec. 81 last
Mrs. Dunham, without any.cause what
ever, left her home, and is now in South
Dakota, where she has retained counsel
and has begun suit for divorce, alleging
that her husband was unkInd and
guilty of cruel treatment, which Mr..
Dunham denies. The Dunhams have
no children, but Mrs. Dunham has a
daughter eight years old by former
marriage. This child Mr.. Dunham asks
the court to award him.
1t was learned that the correspondent
was wealthy banker named Alien, and
vice president of the wealthiest institu-
tionS of its kind in the city. Details as
to his acQuaintanceS and relations with
the eX-congressmen's wife are still lack
ing, but the complainant's attorneys are
frank about acknowledging the gist of
the bill. They say that the sole account
relied on in the application for release;
from the marriage bonds is that of ille-'
gal intimacy with the banker. Ali the
parties concerned move in first-claSS
society. Mr.. Dunham, the complainant.
was found by reporters taking lunch
near the board of trade, of which he is
the of the most prominent members.
He was at first inclined to deny all
knowledge of the bill, and later de-
clined to discuss the matter.

WAsHISGroN, March 25.-TwO Re-
publican postmasters in Minnesota were
decapitated today and two sturdy Demo
Gratis selected TO fill their places. One
IS a presidential appointment, and will
need to go to the senate Monday. But
the other, being a fOurth-claSs office.
needs no further action. The first OF
these Offices is that at Wells, in Fari-
bault county, and that veteran worker
in the cause of tariff reform in Mime
sofa, Hon. Morton S. Wilkinson, is the
man selected. This office pays about
$500 year, and is only a slight recog-
milton for the gallant work on the stump
performed by the ex-senator during the
last twenty years. The second Office is
located at Montgomery, LIE Sueur coun-
ty, and John Sheehy, the well-known
merchant, will hold it for the next
four years. The present incumbent.
f. Becker, is removed. This office only
pavs 5000 at present, but it will reach
the presidential limit in the course of
the next few months, as there is no sec
tiOn Of Minnesota developing more rap
idly at present than the region around
Montgomery. Congressman o. M. Hall
presented The papers of Mr. Sheehy the
other day and requested their immedi-
ate examination, with the result stated.
In the case OF ex-senator Wilkinson,
nearly every prominent Democrat IN
his district indOTSed him, and there was
no delay. In these two appointments
the Democrats of Minnesota are shown
the desirability of getting together and
agreeing upon men for the poStot1ices.
Quick changes will be made in most
cases wherever the Democrats settle
contests harmOniously, and where
they prefer to fight among them
selves the Republican incumbents
will be allowed to remain for lengthy
periods. Ex-senator Wilkinson spent
twelve years III congress, six in each
the senate and the house. In 1872 he
deserted the Republican party, and has
since been an enthusiastic worker in the
cause of Democracy. In 1888 he made
gallant fight for congress against John
Lind. and in 1890 was again nominated,
but withdrew.
John Sheehy is a leading business
man of Montgomery, and was an alter
nate delegate to the Chicago convention
last June. He is an untiring worker
for his party and is man Of great pop
ularity in lie Suenr county.

Commercial National, Nash
Vile, Involved in the Dob
bins-Dazey Failure.
Pending the Arrival Of the
Examiner, a Director
Has Charge.
The Failed Firms Indebted
ness to the Bank
$263,OO0.
Most Of the Amount in EX-
change, Which Went to
Protest.

NASHVILLE Tenn, March 25. -DI
rectly after the Commercial National
bank closed its doors today its affairs
were placed in the hands Of one of the
directors, E. r. Richardson, pending
the arrival of bank examiner. 1t
seems that the bank had been involved
in the recent failure of the Dobbins &
Dazey firm. This firm, during the past
sixteen years, has deposited mill
ions of dollars Of foreign exchange
with various Nashville banks, and
none of them has ever lost cent, but
it seems that during the past-few days
there has been deposited exchange on
John Monroe & Co., New York bankers,
for large amount, which went to pro-
test. and, with oyerdrafts and notes,
makes Dobbins e. Dazey'S Indebtedness
amount to s26S,000, in some of
which the bank is secured. The
capital stock of the bank is $780,,
600, surplus and undivided profits
$4,000. and 1t is stated that even
if the loss were twice as much there
would be no loss to the depOSitorS. 1t
was stated that Mr.. Dazey, who was en-
gagged in speculating with the firms
money, is mental and physical wreck.
q. NJ. Spur is president of the bank,
and Frank Porterfield cashier. The
capital stock Of the bank is not i'm
paired. except by the Dobbins & Dazey
Indebtedness.
The Presid ent's Statement.
The bank owes depositors about
half-million of dollars. Mr.. Spur, the
president of the bank, makes the fol-
lowing statement:
1.-THE failure of the firm of Dobbins &
DaZey involved the bank in heavy
loss, the exact amount Of which cannot
vet be ascertained. The stringency of
the money market East rendered it diff
ficult to rediscOunt, and as rumors det-
rimental to the interest of the bank were
being circulated on the streets of
Nashville, and i'll order that run on
the bank might be avoided and all cred
itors be permitted to share alike in its
assets, a suspension was regarded as the
only course left to the bank. Nearly
the entire amount of the Indebtedness
of this firm to the bank was brought
about by means Of gross mlSStatementS
as to shipments of cotton made b. Mr..
DaZey to the cashier. From a careful
estimate of the assets of the bank, there
can be no reasonable doubt but
that all the creditors will be paid I'D
full just as soon as, the assets
of bank can be realized on. Should
the entire amount involved in the Dob
BINS & Dazey failure be total loss and
all other doubtful claims be charged off,
after exhausting the surplus and undi-'
vided profits, the impairment Of the
capital stock cannot be very great. The
surplus and undivided profits amount to
about $190,000."
The Commercial National bank holds
life insurance policies upon the life of
DaZey, of the firm Of Dobbins & Dazey,
amounting to S175,OOO, part secu lty for
the amounts due from tnat firm.

OF the Civil Service Contemplated
at the Present Time.
WASHINGTON, March 25.-The civil
service commission is making good
progress in classifying the $50 free
delivery postoffices recently brought
within the civil-service law and rules.
Boards of examination have been Or
ganized in q large number of the Of
fees, and examinations have already
been held IN many of them. in speak
ing generally of the subject today
member of the commission said that SO
far as he knew there would be no im-
mediate extension Of the service, in
fact the work now in hand would oc-
cupy all of the time of the commission
for sometime to come. Nor were there
any funds now available to carry out
vny further extensions. There are now
outside of the civil service very large
number of government employees that
should be, and no doubt in time would
be, brought under civil-service regula-
tions. 1t was stated that it was probable
that the internal-revehHe service would
be classified first, and that others i'll
DrODer time might follow.

pointment were eclipsed by another
Kentuckian. He took the situation

ANOTHER RICHMOND

WASHINGTON, March 25.-Today the
president was again considering the ap-
pOintment OF a commissioner Of PEN
sIonS, and had under consideration the
name of Gen. E. Bruce Ricketts,, of
Pennsylvania, and the Keystone poll
ticians are tonight loudly claiming that
he has been selected. Gen. Ricketts,
was a gallant soldier, and a man of
great executive ability. He is almost
exactly similar to Judge Lochren in
point of merit and availability, and the
fact that he is being considered shows
that, in any event. a first-claSS man will
be appointed. The friends of Judge
LOehren here, and they are host, think
the Minneapolis man has declined the
appointment, Because they feel certain
that it was tendered-yest by the
president. In this case they will push
him for a place in the new district
court of appeals. Many MinnesOtans
have sent kilograms to Judge Lochren
begging him to accept the commission
ership of pensions, and still hope he
may do so.

that the pastor bought out their stock,

it wise to stop the sale, or at least the
public display, of these books.
