Another Bank Busted.

LANSING, Mich, April 27.-The
public here were startled this
morning in passing the lngham
County Savings bank to see a plac-
ard upon its doors reading: "ThiS
bank closed and in hands of Com
missioner of Banking" Very little
is known of the case, as the bank
officers are very reticent. Commit
sioner Sherwood says the closing
was entirely without his advice
or knowledge. He would certainly
have advised against it had he
been consulted. He can make no
prediction as to the future of the
bank, and is confident there was
no necessity for closing. There is
a conference of all the bank direc-
tors of the city in session at the
office of the commissioner of bank
ing, to determine what course
pursue. The situation is extreme
Nv critical.

The Game That Was Fixed Up
Worked the Wrong Way.

The Game That Was Fixed Up
Worked the Wrong Way.
John Burnett, horse racer and
sporting man who has been in San
Antonio for some time, but who
took a trip recently to Galveston,
was arrested yesterday afternoon,
on a charge of theft of property
over the value of $40, and taken
back this afternoon to Galveston,
where the charge was made. The
charge was made by a Splinter
named Shaw. 1t seems that Bur-
nett was the stakeholder agreed
on by Shaw and Isham, in a foot
race recently run there by the two
latter, in which the stakes We're
5000, although it is claimed that
Burnett held about $1,000 in stakes
in the event. The race took
place on Tuesday, and shortly
after it Burnett left the
Island City and come on to San
Antonio on the same train that
brought Sheriff Campbell, who was
there in charge of a negresS priS-
Oner.
1t is claimed that local sprint
err and one of the Galveston sprint
ers had entered in league with Bur-
nett to do up the Galveston sprint
er named Isham, but that the latter
fixed things so as to turn the tables
in the hippodrome.
Burnett said before he was taken
back this afternoon that he had
paid the money over to the winner
before he left Galveston and that
he would have no difficulty in Sc
curing his release as soon as he
was confronted with the accuser
Shaw and the winner ISham.

CELEBRATING THE DISCOVERY
Of America by Columbus Amidst
Pouring Rain Storm.

NEW YORK, April 2T.-The day
selected to observe the four hun
dredth anniversary Of Columbus
discovery of America by the grand
est naval pageant in the history of
the world, was uShered in amidst
pouring rain that has been falling
steadily since last night, saturating
everything every where. One of
the most pitiful results of the storm
was the wilted, fOrlOrn, bedraggled
appearance of the beautiful
decorations of the buildings
throughout the city. The rain did
not keep every one at home, how
ever. There was steady stream
to North River all the morning
and hundreds o. excursion boats
of all descriptions were filled with
sight-Seers. At s o'clock 81 big
American flag was run up to the
mast of each vessel and the big
flags of their own country fore and
aft, and by 10 o'clock all We're in
holiday dress. Just as every
one was expecting that the
programme would be carried
out despite the storm, an an
nOuncement was made that the re-
view had been deferred until ,
o'clock on account of the rain. a
signal boat Cushing, carrying the
the Information to each vessel in
line which covered a distance of
three miles. At | :O5 o'clock PreSi-
dent Cleveland left the Victoria
hotel for the foot of Twenty-third
street, where about , o'clock, he
embarked aboard the reviewing
boat, Dolphin.
The President was escorted by
his naval aides and accompanied
by Mrs. Cleveland and the men,
wives. The members of the diplo-
matte corps, representing foreign
| governments, who were to have re-
viewed the pageant from the
cruiser Dolphin, had previously
| gone aboard the coast survey
| steamer Blake and amid the BOOM
ing of cannon the Dolphin, fol-
lowed by the army boat, General
MeigS, with the nations specially
invited guest, the Duke of Neragua,
lineal descendent of Columbus,
and party, attended by General
Schofield, of the army, and Rear
Admiral Belknap, of the navy. The
only other steamer allowed within
the limits during the progress of
the presidential party, was Mon
muth, with senators, congress-
men, governors of states and news
paper representatives. In about a
| half hour the end of the line was
reached and Dolphin cast anchor.
| The commanding officers of the
foreign squadrons then in turn,
were received by the president
aboard the Dolphin, each being in
PRODUCED by their respective
ministers. At the end of the recep-
tfon the Presidents flag was
lowered from the Dolphin and
stepping into a barge amid a
thunder of salutes the President
was landed at the foot of Eighty
sixth street and the public cere-
| monies Of the day were considered
over, but private fun had just be-
gun.

GLADSTONE IN DANGER.
Rumored Attempt to Shoot the
Grand Old Man.

LONDON, April 27.-The Pail
Mall Gazette today contains a
most sensational article headed
"RumorS of an Attempt to Shoot
Gladstone" the type in the head
lines being the largest in use for
that purpose. The paper states
that the alleged attempt upon the
prime minister's life was made
while Gladstone was walking
through st. James park, at mid
night last night, on his way to his
home in Downing street. The ac-
curacy of the report of the Pail
Mall Gazette is doubted. The story
is probably based upon the fact
that a man who is now in custody
on charge of firing a revolver in
a public thOrOughfare had in. one
of his pockets note book contain
ing a number of entries detailing
recent movements of Mr.. Glad
stone. The article in the Pall-Mall
Gazette caused much excitement
among the friends and supporters
of Mr.. Gladstone, and many inQui-
ries from various parts of the cOun-
try have been made as to the truth
fulneSS the story. When the
shooter was arraigned in the Bow
street police court this morning,
the policeman who arrested him
stated that the man had discharged
a revolver in the Horse Guards par
ade near Downing street. He evil
IDENTIFY intended to shoot the officer.
An examination of the note book
revealed the fact that it contained
mass of rawlings against Irish
Home Rule. Later: NOtwithstand-
ing the statements that have been
made to the effect that Mr.. Glad
stone was in no danger of being
shot, and that no Importance is to
be attached to the affair, there is
a growing suspicion that Mr.. Glad
stone was nearer danger than his
friends are willing to admit. The
man under arrest is named
William Townsend, is thir-
ty-eight years Of age and is
a resident of the town of Sheffield.
The officer who arrested him saw
him mount the steps of Mr.. Glad
stones residence shortly after Mr..
Gladstone had entered. When the
policemen ordered him to descend
he fired at the officer and subSe-
Quently struggled desperately
against being arrested. Townsend
asserts that the discharge of the re-
VOlVer was accidental. Some of
the entries in the note book read {:
"The Irish Home Rule bill
has passed it's second reading
By full minority incluling the
cur Saunders. Talking does not
convert and now is the time for
action. | might wilfully murder
you. Would nothing of the kind
be justified? Now to prove it

GladstOne's speech of last night
What says SAUNDERS" At this
point Sir John Bridge, presiding
magistrate, refused to read any
further. He instructed the jailOT
to guard the prisoner with utmost
care.
