The Merchants Savings bank Is
the first savings institution in
this city to take precautionary measures
in protecting its depositors.
At meeting of the trustees it was
decided 10 enforce the ninety day limit
on all depositors who wished to
withdraw money. this action was taken
not becaus, the bank was no. fully able
10 meet all present or prospective de-
mands, hut because it was thought
TO be the most conservative way to pro-
tect the interest of all concerned at
at time when run might be
started any momnnt which
no insiution however strong
stand, there have been few Withdrawals
lately of larger amounts than usual b,.&
none that in ordinary times would oc.
casion any action or part Of the officials.
The trustees Of the other savings banks
are considering the question of enforcing
the 90 day limit, but none have thus far
adopted that courfe. T..

NO MISSIONARY SAFE.
ATTiCKED AND
ROBBED BY TURKS.

The Presbyterian Board of Foreign Mis-.
cisive Action.
New YORK, July 31.-The Presbyterian
Board of Foreign Missions have sent let
ter TO Secretary of State Gresham request
ing that immediate and decisive action be
taken by the Government in regard to the
outrage on Miss Anna Melton, the mis-
sionary of the Board who was assaulted by
unknown persons on June IA, while tenn
porarily staying in the HISTORIAN village OF
Duree, in the heart of the Koordish noun
tains in Asiatic Turkey.
In their memorial TO the State Depart
ment, the members of tho board urge in
the strongest manner that no stone shall
be left unturned TO compel the Turkish
government To punish the offenders and to
make ample address for the outrage. The
letter cites many instances in which
Americans have been attacked and robbed
by the inhabitants OF Turkey without Wig
orous protest on the part of the United
States. IL is urged that unless some de-
cided action is taken forthwith the life Of
no American missionary will be safe within
the domains Of the Sultan.
From adyices just received from the
Rev. T.. w. Mcdowell, in charge of the
party to which Miss Melton belonged, it
would appear that the attack upon the
woman was not made by wandering
band of robbers, is was at first believed,
but by soldiers who were instigated To the
deed by the authorities of Amadia, city
"A few miles distant from the scene of the
assault. There is evidence, according to
Mr.. Mcdowell, that the brother of the
Governor of Amadia, was implicated in
the matter. Miss Melton is re. ported as
having practically recovered from the
effects ef tho beating which came near
being u Irder.

HORRIBLE DEATH.
A Lever Pierccs u Woman's Dody
Through and Through.


CHICAGO, July 3l.-A peculiar accident
occurred at the east end of the Harrison
street bridge Saturday.
An open car approached the bridge at
good rate Of speed. As 1t struck the
east end of the bridge. the latter swayed
up and down for moment. The heavy,
pointed bard wood tightening lever at the
east end of the bridge fell from its fasten-
ings and swung around directly again ST
the right $ de of the car.
Miss Nellie Riordan sat at the outer
edge OF a seat near the middle of the car,
and the pointed end of the lever struck
her in the groin, passed through her body
and made hole in the back of the eat in
which she was sitting.
A physician, who was summoned from n
house near by, said the woman would
bleed TO death IL the lever was withdrawn
from her body. A saw was procured and
the lever was sawed off two feet from
Miss Riordan's body. She regained con-
sciousness and was told that she would
probably soon die. The surgeons removed
the piece of the lever, and, in few min
utes, she died from loss Of blood.
The flying splinters made by the bridge
lever crashed through the seats OF the CIR
and endangered many lives. A long,
sharp splinter struck Mrs. Maggie Carey,
Mrs. Annie Dexter and Mrs. Maggie Ash
croft who were seriously injured, but will
probably recover.
