MORE BANKS SUSPEND.

The National German American
Bank of st. Paul Failed to Open ITS
Doors and the State Bank of Provi-
dence Unable to Meet the Clearing
House Balance.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. 4.-The National
German American bank failed to open It's
doors this morning and announced tenn
porary suspension subsequent upon q
steady decline of Withdrawals for the past
month.
State, county and city funds are secured
by bonds given by various wealthy bust
ness men outside the bank.
According to statements by the officers
and directors of the bank, the bank has
81, O00, 600 of good commercial paper, a
banking house and property worth at least
5000, 900 and other assets which will make
$500, 900 more, makinga total of IS 900,
600 to pay q deposit account of 81 ,281 600.
The bank could 60 on again in ninety days
If the comptroller thought il best, even If
the stockholders had to pay an assessment
of 10 per cent.
Providence, Aug. 4.-The State bank OF
this city was unable to meet its balance al
the Providence clearing house to-day and
suspended payment and closed its doors.
It Is not a national bank and 1t has
paid-up capital of ST. 200. The suspen
sion is probably only temporary and ii
due to the strfngency of the money mar
ket and the withdrawal CT deposits.
The bank was one of the Oldest of thu
state banks and was instituted in 1850. L
has not been regarded as sound. The repor
of the state auditor in November, 1892
| shows its deposits to be $238, 900.
1 Tho Of haf III
bank will undoubtedly go into liquidation
It has many time loans out.

terdsy. meter was placed in the tank
house several months ago, and 1t was sup
posed that all the water used at this station
passed through that meter but upon recent
investigation 1t was found that the water
used at the passenger and freight depot

street and that the water company has for
the past six months rec eived no pay for
any water used except in the tank house.
At the end of the next six months the
amount registered by the meter will be
charged, together with the same for the
past half year. The water commissioners
will probably adopt the scale of prices per
1000 gallons now prevalent In New Haven

SECRET OF THE SUICIDE.

Miss Bardwelps Religious Views
Were Opposed BY Her Relatives
She Was In the Power of a Sp1rItu-
alist.
BosToN, August 4.-To nights Record
says: The Record can tell the secret of
Miss Bardwelps suicide. 1t has It upon
the authority of one of the family. The
girls religious views were opposed by her
relatives. They did not want her to be-
come q Catholic. This grieved her
greatly. This explains her talk about
forgiveness"
But the great trouble lay deeper. Mas
Bardwell was easily Influenced. There
were few persons who had great control
over her. One Of these was Mrs. Murray.
Her relatives now do not hesitate to say
that they believe her will will be found to
be In Mrs. Murray's favor. The will
should dispose of $25 200.
Still more, her brother cannot account
for So, 900 which Miss Bardwell had with
her. 1t was most of her legacy received
from Springfield. Mr.. Bardwell said to q
Recorder reporter to day that he did not
consider her insane enough to be put in an
asylum. She was very careless in the ex-
penditure of money and unfit to be trusted
with large sums. She seemed to be to q
great extent in the power of Mrs. Murray,
who was a spiritualist and a mesmerist.
NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Bates Bardwell
called at the undertaking establishment
this afternoon and paid all expenses at
tending the preparation of his sister
Maria's body for removal and burial. The
body will be taken to Boston this evening
for interment. 1t is inclosed in hand

at the Buffalo track today. Ontonian cap
tured the $50 pacing stake in straight
heats and Msrgrave was similarly fortu-
nate 10 the 2:20 stake for three yesr-old
trotters
Walter E won the great free-for-a all, but
it required considerable mar oeuvering and
seven heats to decide the race. Bob Stew
art owns Walter E., and John Stewart, his
brother, owns Ryland T., and the plan
was to have Walter E. win the race and
Ryland T. take second money. TWAS not
accomplished until after a protracted
struggle. It was almost certainty that
Ryland T. could not land the race and
several times 1t looked as though Walter e.
was done for, but the latter has great etsy-
ing powers. When the bell sounded for
Martha Wilkes started, the latter the most
tired of the trio. Walter E. landed the
heat and race.
Hamlin's Nightingale proved severe
disappointment to those who stuck to her
until she was ruled out after the fifth heat
for not showing in front once during the
| five. The other Nightingale captured the
| first heat and reduced her mark from 2. ia
| to 2:10a, but at no time after that was she
| considered probable factor in the race.
| With a more experienced driver the fast
Alex. would make better showing.
Greenleaf found the company too good fol
her and she brought up In the rear
Much enthusiasm was manifested by the

NINE LIVES LOST.

Distressing Accident at Lake George
One Young Man Lost His Life In
His Efforts to Save That OF His
Mother.
LAKE GEORGE, Aug. 4.-The steam
yacht Rachel sunk last night with twenty
nine summer guests on board. Such was the
Lake George early this morning, and to 1t
was added the information that nine had
been drowned and twenty saved. The little
steamer Rachel was chartered by party of
guests of the Fourteen Mile Island hotel to
convey them to the Hundred Island house,
where dance was in progress.
Mr.. Phillips, manager of the Pear Point
hotel, in whose charge the Rachel was, al
lowed Pilot Barber to go home in the af-
tsrnoon, as he WAS Ill. Claude Granger
was ordered in charge by Phillips. He is
not an experienced pilot, although familiar
with that part of the lake. The boat left
Fourteen Mile Island house at about 8
O'Clock in the evening.
The night was very dark and plotting
was unsafe except when aided by the
trained eye of well-informed bostmsn.
Granger got too far out of the channel
when going past the old piers that sup
ported the original dock south of the One
Hundred Island house, struck the pier and
stove q large hole in the bottom of the boat.
The Rachel eank In few seconds.
The passengers scarcely knew what had
happened before the boat filled with water.
The ladies on board were laughing and
singing Instantly the scene changed.
The boat sank 80 rapidly that no time was
given to the Inflated pleasure-seekers to
| were caught under the shade decks and
died quickly A dczsn men were on the
water in rowboats almost before the smoke
| stack of the Rachel sank from sight, and
| they hsstsned to the scene. They rescued
| twenty of the passengers and took them
| ashore.
Nine persons were drowned as follows
Miss Hattie L. Hall, Brooklyn, N. Y.
Miss Edith Harding, Hoboken, N. j.; Miss
Bertha Benedict, Aoutolsir, N. J.; Miss
Henrietta NJ. Barton, Jersey City, N. J..
Mrs. J. h. Mitchell, Burlington, Vt; Frank
g. Mitchell, nineteen years, son of Mrs
Vt; Miss Clara Black, Burlington, Vt.
Miss Lizzie Clarke, Bridgeport, Conn.
Young Mr.. Benedict, son of the wealthy
New York jeweler, Is an expert swimmer
and tried to save his sister. Frank Mitchell
lost his life In trying to save his mother
who was also drowned. The bodies of thu
nine who persisted were recovered. Among
those who were rescued were III. Mitchell
F. NJ. Whitcomb, Samuel A. Manson ant
William Manson, all of Burlington, vt.
1t is the most distressing accident in tn
history Of the lake. Every guest Is shar
ing in the sorrow which has SO suddenl.
enshrouded the relatives and acquaint
anoss of the Lost pleasure seekers.
That go many lives should be lost at suol
an early hour of the night and within
speaking distance of the land, where tw
large hotels are located, can only be &C
counted for by the fact that the night wa
unusually dark and the boat sank yer
rapidly.
One result of the accident is to sho'
how necessary ia the legislation whic
sought the prohibition of pilots or epgir
GERS unskilied in lake navigation.

STAND OF FREE GOLD.

There is Nearly a Million Dollars in
the Treasury-Small Currency VIII
be Supplied as Fast as Wanted.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4,-Treasury officials
state that the treasury is prepared to sup
ply all the small currency wanted, and the
lack of such currency in certain sections of
the country is accounted for by the suppo-
sition either that all money is scarce or that
the banks have failed to procure of the
treasury the small notes needed for home
consumption.
At no time in recent years has 30 much
small money bsen cent to New York, and
the lack of small notes there cannot be &C.
counted for here except on the theory that
much of it is being boarded by those who
receive It, It Is stated at the treasury that
there ia no likelihood of the resumption of
the issue of gold certificates until the free
gold stands from 81, 0G0, 900 to So, 600, 900
above the reserve. The free gold is now
