CRASH AT MILWAUKEE.
Collapse of the Commercial Bank with
Assets of s1,7Oo,o00 and Liabilities of
aI.bOO.OOo.

Collapse of tho Commercial Bank with
Assets of R1,7Oo,ooO and Liabilities of
91,5O0,0oo.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, July 22.-The Com
mercial bank has made voluntary as
signment. The assignee named in the
papers fled is A. B. Geilfuss, the
cashier of the hank, and his bond
is placed at s1,700,0o0. The entire
fund of Milwaukee county, amount
ing to S3J0,62s, was deposited in
the Commercial bank. Another big de-
positor was the newly-organized Mil
waulSee Electric Railway company, to
the extent of 5000. 600. The last state
ment of the bank showed demand
deposits amounting to s557, 74S and time
deposits S52s.9l9 The bank had capi-
tai of $3.50, 000
The liabilities OF the bank are es-
timated at about $1,000, 900 and the as
| sets at about s1,700,000.
The assignment is due in u great
measure to the banks inability to col
| lect on outstanding paper, of which it
| held $4,000 worth, due from prom
| inent Milwaukee firms but principally,
| it is said, from the Schleisinger syndi-
cate. This money, although the notes
are from sixty to ninety days overdue,
the bank was unable to collect. 1t is
not believed that this failure will have
any effect on any other banks in the
| city, and there are no runs being made.
The failure of the Sharpsville and
Douglas furnaces at Sharpsville, Pa,
was bad blow for the bank. 1t holds
sl3O,000 in storage and warrants,
which were made worthless for the
time being at least by sheriffs at
tachment on the pigiron. 1t is said
that if the bank can get this pigiron, it
will be able to straighten cut its af-
| fairs in short time.
| The news of the failure caused sem
sation in the courthouse, as it is in this
bank that the county funds were de-
posted. The county has some $500, 900
to its credit there, and the county treas
urer was unable to pay county orders,
not having any cash on hand. The
county is secured by bondsmen, who
signed for the bank but it may be that
these bondsmen will prove insolvent at
the rate things are moving at present.
Henry NJ. Benjamin, one of the larg-
est wood and coal dealers in this city,
confessed judgment for s7s,8O4 in favor
of his wife, Matilda Benjamin. The
total liabilities amount to about S243,
900. 1t is claimed that if the CONNER
cial bank could have sustained itself
the present condition of Beniamin's
affairs would not have been made neces-

AN ILLINOIS TRAGEDY.

Richard Shoemaker Kills George and Rich
ard Lukens, Wounds Their Father and
Commits Suicide-Cause of His Awful
Deed.
METROPOLIS, ILL.,, July 22.-Three
men lie dead in this city and three
homes are made desolate by the act of
one of the three dead men. Friday even
ing about $3.50 o'clock Richard ShoemalS-
er, after repeatedly passing the home
of Richard Lukens, Jr., halted at the
gate and, drawing two revolvers from
his pockets opened fire on the Lukens
brothers-George and Richard-who
were in the yard. First saying to
George: Take back what you have
said about me-" he sent a ball
crashing into his brain. Richard,
seeing his brother fall, turned and
ran toward his house, but before he
reached shelter the spiteful crash of the
revolver rang out and the shot pene-
trated the young mans head, bringing
him to the earth with his babe in his
arms. The father of the dying boys
coming up received shot in the thigh.
Shoemaker then turned and sent
bullet into Richards heart and another
into the quivering body. He then
turned and walked away, but, escape
being impossible, after walking couple
of blocks he sat down and shot himself
in the abdomen, producing instant
death.
The trouble grew out of an estate of
Mrs. Richard Lukens, Jr., Shoemaker
being her stepfather and guardian.
Suit in court and inability to
pay Mrs. Lukens the money due her
several thousand dollars-made him
morose and bitter against the Lukens
boys, two peaceable, inoffensive young
! carpenters and builders. Recently a
piano in Mrs. Lukens' possession was
| sold by Shoemaker and on its removal
some warm words and threats were ex-
changed.
Shoemaker had been preparing him
self all day. He showed bag of cart
ridges during the evening and asked if
they would kill man. Both the
Lukens boys were carpenters and con-
tractors, inoffensive young men and
without another enemy than the man
who foully murdered them. Had Shoe
maker not killed himself he would
have been mobbed within the hour.

The Slaughter OF Elephants.

In Zanzibar alone some 800, 600 pounds
of ivory are brought every season to
the market. There are tusks among
them weighing from $50 to 100 pounds
and even more, but, of course, the
tusks are mostly small, for it is much
easier to trap or kill young elephant
than an old one. Let us say that on
an average every tusk weighs twenty
to twenty-five pounds. The tusks of
10000 elephants are brought annually
to Zanzibar. Elephants in Africa are
mostly killed with poisoned arrows.
Perhaps 80 per cent. break away to die
in the jungle, where their tuslss are
never found. So perhaps 10000 ele-
plants have been sacrificed to get the
ivory for the Zanzibar market alone.
Besides this n lot of ivory is used in the
interior for all kinds of domestic pur-
poses. The tusks are used as grain
Founders, etc, while ornaments are
commonly fashioned of ivory. There
are even chiefs in the interior who
have fence around their houses made
of elephant tusks.-San Francisco Call.

Virginia Desperadoes Prove Too Strong
for the Militia.
PIKEvILLE, KY, July 22.-Informa-
ton has been received at this city of a
bloody fight in Wise county, Va, last
Wednesday. For several months past
the Virginia authorities have wanted
the Flemons boys very badly. The
boys, four in number, are accused of
participating in triple murder
some months ago. Doc Taylor,
one of the gang, was captured and
hanged for the crime, but the Flemons
boys have so far evaded arrest. Two
weeks or more ago the governor of Vir-
ginia sent company of sixty soldiers
to assist the sheriff of Wise county in
arresting the outlaws. On Wednesday
the militia overlook the outlaws and a
battle occurred. Four soldiers were
killed and six mortally wounded.

come out of it for twelve hours. She
then related her experience. She said
she had journeyed through the un-
known world, and saw many a%uaipt-
ances in the place of punishment, and
a few in the haven of reward. Then
she named names,and it caused trouble,
for many whom the young woman To-
Gated in the region of perpetual punish
ment are at present residents of Port

enough to be seen in the other place
are satisfied, and believe in the jour

cemetery lying at the entrance of the
winding road which leads to old Fort

chapter of American history. Here is
the tomb of Gen. Scott, in honor of
whose victory at Chippewa the cadet
grave was adopted. Here is the name
of Anderson, of Sumter fame, and OF
Custer, the dash of whose charges still
stirs the pages of Indian records. Un-
der slabs of heavy granite old Revolu-

some cadet just learning the art
of war. Among them white marble
shaft tells us that it marks the place
where "Susan Warner, the author of
The Wide, Wide World rests in peace

soul has become one of the traditions
of the army. In many western post
