SAN BERNARDINo, June 13.-This after
noon as the 4:30 Santa Fe train was
leaving the depot at Riverside, revol-
yer was accidentally discharged in the
hands of Jack A. Mellon of Yuma,
shooting Edward Hadden, young man
residing in this city. Hadden had se-
cured work on Dan Freeman's ranch,
near Los Angeles, and was going to work
at once. He stepped off the train as It
stopped at Riverside to talk with some
friends. When he returned he sat
down in seat in front of
Mellon, who was changing his re-
voiver from his valise to his
pocket. In some unsccountable manner
the weapon was discharged, the bullet
entering the young man'a back, passing
through his body two inches below the
heart, and striking the tenth rib. He
was removed from the train and medi-
cal aid called. The physicians say that
his recovery is impossible.
The young mans father and mother
were telegraphed for, and went at once
TO his bedside.
Jack Mellon, as he is familiarly known,
is captain of the Gila, a steamboat on
the Colorado river, where he has reaided
for 10 years. He. was very quiet and
inofensive man, and was unacquainted
with Hadden.
The unfortunate young man was in a
semi-conscious state at late hour, and
his death was momentarily expected.

Officers of a New York Savings Institu-
tion In Serious Trouble.
New YORK, June 13.-Defalcations ag-
gregeting 1900 have been discovered
in the Irving Savings institution, at SO
Warren street, New York. The short
age was discovered by the state bank
examiners, who are still at work on the
books. The officers implicated are
Clarence E. Heaton OF Brooklyn, presi-
dent, who has overdrawn his account
$27, 100; ex-Secretary W. H. Buxton,
city, and Paying Teller D, d. Tomp-
kins. After the defslcation WIS
discovered the designations of the
three officers named were received and
accepted. The facts have been reported
to the district attorney. Counsel for
the institution tonight gave out state
ment saying the defslcation was caused
partly by overdrafts by Clarence Heaton
and William Buxton, officers of the in
stitution, and abstraction of funds by
d. d. Tompkins, paying-teller. Twenty
five Thousand dollars OF the overdrafts
made by Buxton was at once made good
by him by the payment of 80 much
cash. About $1,000 was paid over by
President Heaton. The bank is said to
have clear surplus of $675, 900.

OMAHA, Neb., June 13.-At 4: :12 yes
terday afternoon the state bank exam
iner closed the doors OF the McCague
Savings bank, at Fifteenth and Dodge
streets. John L. McCague, vice-presi-
dent of the bank, said the suspension
was due to inability to raise money on
securities. He fixed the liabilities at
$4,000 and estimated the assets of the
bank at $46O, 600 to 100000. He stated
positively the depositors would be paid
in full.
The American National bank was
closed this morning, by order OF the
comptroller OF the currency. Runs were
soon in progress on the Globe Loan and
Trust company, the Dime Savings bank
and the Nebraska Savings bank. It is
understood the affairs OF the American
netional are entangled with those of the
McCague Savings bank, which closed
yesterday afternoon.
A run OF extensive proportions began
on the Omaha Savings bank at the open
ing this morning, and the bank was
coon besieged by depositors. Senator
Manderson and Vice-President Kimball
OF the Union Pacific, directors of the
bank, made speeches to the crowd, guar
snteeIng them their money, but the run
continued.
The bank examiner ia in charge Of
the American national. The clearing
house, at meeting last night decided to
give it no help, and the decision OF the
comptroller to close it forthwith. Its
statement, May 4th, showed: Capital
stock, $500, 900: loans and discounts,
$531 800; surplus, $4,000; undivided
profits, $5l6l; due depositors, $577 .526.
The run on the Omaha Savings bank
continues and President Msnderson an
nounced to crowd at / p. m. that the
bank was ready to pay every dollar.
President McCsgue of the American
National said this afternoon his bank
clnsad with almost 800 900 in cash and
exchange in the bank, and the mail
brought a remittance Of s20 600 from
New York. He said while adverse cir
cumstances had overtaken the bank, he
WAS positive the depositors would be
paid in full.
The Dime Savings bank, the Ameri-
can Savings bank and the Globe Loan
and Trust company took advantage of
the 60-day rule, but the other savings
banks paid depositors In full on de-
mand.

SAN Francisco, June 13.-The case Of
the state versus John W. Flood, charged
with the defslcation OF $164,000 from
the Donohue-Kelly bank, was continued
in the superior court today and will
probably go to the jury tomorrow. The
prosecution introduced evidence showing
that the money disappeared while Flood
was cashier, and that he admitted that
he was an embezzler. Flood had here
tofore maintained silence as to his line
of defense, but his attorneys gave ample
indications that they will plead the
statute of limitations, which prevents
prosecution for embezzlement three
years after the commission OF the crime.
They claim the prosecution must show
that the money was taken within three
years, and this. they think, cannot be
done.

Yesterday was observed throughout

maculate Conception Of the Blessed
Virgin Mary, holiday of Obligation.
In the three Catholic churches in this
city, appropriate services we're con-
Quoted. At the Cathedral three masses
were said. and at st. Alphonsus and st.
Mary's churches two masses, one
of which was high mass. Vespers
were sung last night in each church.
A feature OF the services in each
church was the solemn procession OF the
Blessed Sacrament led by the priests
and acolytes and followed by the differ
emit sodalities. The attendance was very
large, many receiving communion at
the early masses. At the Cathedral the
Ferty Hours devotion closed with the
principal mass, and this interesting de-
votion opened at the Church of the I'm
maculate Conception, to conclude with
high mass tomorrow. During the de-
votion the sacrament is exposed, and
there are always one or more persons in
the church.

the Opera House, LaSt Evening.

Given by the OVtoo aAuein ConP@"y -
the Opera House, Last Evening"
Well informed musical people every
where recognize in Ovid husin . SOLO
violinist of rare ability, and nowhere IS
his talent more generally appreciation
than here in Wheeling. As result
there was standing room only at the
Opera House, last evening. The pro-
gramme, heretofore printed in the REG
lister, was one strongly appealing
TO admirers OF the best m usic, both
vocal and instrumental, and It's
rendition left very little to be desired
from an artistic standpoint. Divide
Musin was at his best, and his playing
evoked unstlnted praise. In the An
date and Finale from the Mendelssohn
Concerto he was most happy, but the
acme of both technic and expression
was reached in the PaRsnini number,
the strong characteristics OF the great
Italian master being brought out with
little apparent effort. InreSponse TO an
enthusiastic encore he played, by re-
quest, the PagSnini variations on the
Prayer from Moses in Egypt, by
Rossini, and was again applauded TO
the echo. Very satisfactory indeed was
the work of Eduard Scharf, the pianist
Of the company. The Ruosnstein study
was a brilliant bit o! work and hne
example of presto playing. His accom-
paniments were judIcious, and his title
to artist will not be combatted. Miss
Bonsall's contralto sounded some
what harsh in the Huguenot
aria, but the TroVstore duet
showed her voice to better ad-
vantage. Mrs. Musin's soprano is sweet
and satisfying, and she was accorded
more than fair share Of the applause
of the evening. Mr.. Elliott, the tenor
OF the company, is a very capable vocal
ist. the aria from Faust being very we'll
done. All through the programme en-
cores were frequently demanded, some
sixteen numbers being given in all.
