RObert ii. coleman Assigns with LII
abilities of $3,5oo,ooo.
Lebanon, Pa, Aug. 9.-Robert H. Cole
man, an iron millionaire, has made an as
signment. His liabilities will approx
mate S3,500,0OO and it is asserted that
they exceed his assets. Mr.. Coleman's
interest in the jacksonville, Tampa and
Key West railway has brought him to the
verge of financial ruin. Several suits in
stftuted on account of the alleged hypoth-
ecation of 100000 worth of the roads
bonds by Mr.. Coleman, as well as CON
tinued losses and inability to pay interest
compelled him on Jan. 81, 1891, to bor-
row $500, 600 from the Pennsylvania Trust
Company, which was followed on Feb
q. 1891, by another forced loan of 81 300
600 and a mortgage on June 30, 1892, for
S62, 800 for interest remaining due and
unpaid.

HIGH INTEREST IN GOTHAM.
Local Banks Advance the Rate on Call
Loans to 10 Per Cent.


New York, Aug. 9.-Wall street re-
ceived a big surprise this morning in the
shape of an announcement from the ma
tional banks of the city that they had
unanimously decided to increase the rates
on call loans of recent date to II per cent
per annum, and on those of long standing
to 10 per cent. Their reason for this,
they say is that so many persons have
laid down ON them that they are COM
PEELED to do this in self protection.
The increased interest rate is applied
chiefly to out-of-town clients. The banks
have not lost anything through Wall
street bankers or brokers, and conse-
quently the new order of things will not
affect the local financial community.
To-day at the stock exchange call
loans were readily obtainable at 4 to per
cent. There is no time money as yet and
mercantile paper is almost unquotable
because of the paucity of business doing.
Currency of all kinds commands a
premium, ranging from 215 to AZ per
cent, with occasional transactions at even
higher figures.

ings in a Break for Liberty.
Frankfort. KY, Aug 9.-Another dar-
ing attempt among the convicts to blow
up the penitentiary walls and escape, was
discovered by Warden Norman last night

fellow named Miller, all desperate men,
who are serving terms of thirty
one years each for blowing up a
bank and attempting TO burn the town
of Tompkinsville, few years ago.
They had acted suspiciously for some
DAYS, and upon investigation the warden
found in their possession two pistols,
huge quantity Of dynamite, nitro glyccr-
inc. and other combustibles, and they
evidently intended to make death
struggle for liberty after blowing up the
prison walls. They refused TO talk, but
some of the other prisoners who claim to
have been in the conspiracy gave away
the plan Of the attempt to escape.
