POINT FOR BANK OFFICERS.
Temporary Reoeivership Ex-
tended Thirty Days.
Lawyer Untermyor Wanted Madison
Squares Affairs Settled.

Deputy ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS William ].
Lardner and John w. Hogan came down
from Albany to-day and applied to JUS
tice Barrett In the Supreme Court,
Chambers. for an order making Miles
NJ. O'Brien and f. G. Cannon perma-
nent receivers of the Madison Square
Bank to wind up Its affairs.
This was virtually asking for the
immediate dissolution of the corpora
ton, which would put an end at once
to the efforts of the stockholders to
make up the impairment of the capital
and put the bank on its feet again. 1t
wa stated by the officers Of the State
thai they were entitled to the order
because the time of the defendant for
answering had expired, and no reason
had been shown why the temporary re-
ceivers should not be made permanent
and a final judgment of dissolution
rendered.
Lawyer Edward Lauterbach. who ap-
peared for the directors and stock
holders of the bank. at once objected to
the proposed order. He suggested that
1t would be for the interest of depos-
itors as well as stockholders IL the bank
should be rehabilitated. He urged the
Court to grant an extension of thirty
days to the temporary receivers, at the
same time comforting upon them the
powers OF permanent receivers, which
can be done under the provisions of the
Code.
He said the stockholders had for some
time been on the verge of reorganization
He had no doubt that within the time
specified the capital could be raised to
put the bank upon its feet again.
His suggestion was not made for dila-
tory purposes. he said, but for the best
interests OF all parties. He pleaded for
time in which those interested In the re-
organization of the bank might be able
to carry through their project.
Mr.. Untermyer, representing the re.
final judgment. He said they were
anxious to wind up their trust as soon
as possible. He did not see that the
stockholders would be in any better po-
sltion a year hence than they were at
the present time.
Mr.. Lardner favored Mr.. Lauterbach's
suggestion provided there would be no
embarrassment to the receivers; When
Mr.. Lauterbach said he was willing to
concede to them all the powers Of per-
manent receivers to go or and liquidate
the affairs of the ban Inc pay divi-
dends. provided final judgment was not
entered, Justice Barrett signed an, order
to that effect
1t was the understanding that II no
the thirty days final Judgment should
be rendered.
At tho meeting Of the stockholders
held in Mr.. Lauterbach's Office last
evening a new committee was appointed
to reorganize the bank.
Mr.. Untermyer said to-day that the
books. of the bank would be. delivered
this afternoon for a further investiga-
| ton of the methods of the late officers.
He declined to state whether more ar
rests were contemplated.

HAS THE FRAN GONE DOWN
Serious Fears for Capt. Nausen's
Arctic Expedition.

LONDON. Oct. ?.-The Pail Mall Ga
zette publishes to-day under the caption.
Has the Fran Con Down. a story
regarding Capt. Nausen's Arctic explora-
ton vessel.
The story is given on the authority Of
n Norwegian traveller. who was inform
ed by a number of Samoieds. a nomadic
people. inhabiting the shores OF the Arc
tic Ocean from the mouth OF the
Plethora River to the Gulf Of Khat-
angskee. that they had sighted the
Fran frequently in the Kara Sea She
worked heavily and a~wkwardly in the
ice for three days and made no progress.
Russians believe that II the
Fran was at that time referred to
drifting In the Kara Sea she must have
been compelled to return 10 avoid be-
ing crushed in the ice.
The Gazette remarks that II this
course had been decided upon. news of
the vessel must have been heard ere
this. The question now is whether the
Fran reached New Siberia or sank.

The trouble the passengers had an
ticipated. however. came in another and
more fearful guise.
1t was just at midnight on the sixth
day out that Capt. kaempf, who was on
the bridge. was approached by a white
faced and trembling member of the
crew, who informed him In a whisper
that the ship was on fire.
Capt. Kaempff Immediately called all
the members of the crew on deck. He
notified the steward and his assistants
to arouse the passengers. who had re-
tired, but to go about 1t coolly. 30 as
not to create a panic.
The cabin passengers behaved admi-
rably, but those in the Storage. who had
already scented smoke and OWNED that
the ship was on fire. were harder to
manage. They tumbled over one an
other in their great nasle to get on
deck and near the life-rafts.
The fire was located in the after part
of the ship. Its presence was only dis
covered when one OF to- crew happened
to see smoke escaping from the VEN
tilators that supply air to the steerage.
Capt. Kaempff ordered these ventila-
tors to be plugged up and all other
matches and doors which might supply
a draught for the flames to be closed.
Then he went about among the passen-
gers and personally assured them that
the danger was not 80 great as it
seemed; hat II they remained cool and
calm the efforts that were making for
their safety would not be retarded.
To further quiet them the lifeboats
were put in readiness for instant SER
vice. Some OF the crew stood by the
boats to prevent a rush or crowding. II
It should be necessary to lower them.
The rest OF the sailors and all the off,
GERS, except the one stationed on the
bridge TO navigate the ship. organized
themselves into a fire brigade and made
ready to flood the after hold.
After the first scare most of the cabin
passengers returned to their staterooms
and gathered UP their valuables. Then
they returned tC the deck and peered
out over the rails into the darkness for
a light. They were quiet and undemon-
strative, but fully appreciated their dan
ger. Any light hat would have indi-
Gated the nearness OF a vessel would
ave afforded them great relief. But
their search was in vain.
Before the extent OF the fire and It's
exact location had been discovered.
smoke began to find Its way to the deck
through the engine-roOm, Capt.
Kaempn decided to stop the engines so
that the draught that was evidently
supplied through that part OF the ship
could also be shut out.
Through various crevices the smoke
