ing the long silver fight the Vice Presi-
dents mail contained many threatening let

sp&smodlc order. Don Jam, however, was
persistent, and nearly every day wrote let
tiers threatening vengeance. The letters
were generally thrown away, until at
dinner one evening Secretary Carlisle in
formed Mr.. Stevenson that he had received
several threatening letters from Don Jam,
and that Senators Sherman and Mills had
also been objects of attention on the part
OF the crank The matter was then turned
over to Chief Drummond, Of the secret
service, who ascerlained that Don Jam
actually lived ct the address given, and

had gone to Was hington. An unavailing

NO FIGHT IN FLORIDA
Gov. Mitchell Throws a Bomb
Into the Ranks of the Sports.
He Refuses Charter to the Duval
Athletic Club and Issues Proc
lamatiOn to Sheriffs.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec. 22.-The DC-
val Athletic Club received a setback to-day
in its effort to pull off the Corsett-Mitchell
fight. The attorney for the club appeared
before Governor Mitchell at Tallahassee,
and made application for charter. This ths
Governor fatty refused, stating that, under

to violate the laws of Florida OF course
this proved bomb to the SPORTS and their
CONSERVATION was further increased by the
knowledge that strong letter against tie
fight had been written by the Governor to
j. r. Tyson, a prominent citizen Of this
city. The letter is as follows:

RECEIVER DEMANDED
Mr.. Preston Determined TO Wind
Up the st. Nicholas Bank.
President Graves Still Maintains the
Superintendent Acted Arbitrarily
The Paying Teller Arrested.

NEW YORK. Dec. 22-The Attorney
general. by his deputy, J. w. Hogan. APP
piled to Judge TruaX, in the Supreme
Court, to-day, for the appointment of
temporary receiver of the st. Nicholas
Bank, which was closed yesterday by an
order of the banking department. An in
junction was also asked for to restrain
suits against the bank pending the liquida-
ton. F. G.. Mather, counsel OF the bank,
I'm opposing the application, said that had
the slightest intimation of the action taken
yesterday been before given to the bank
1t would have made good the alleged i'm
pairment OF its capital. Taking the strict
est estimates of the value of the assets,
the impairment did not exceed 500 900, and
the stockholders will be the only ones to
suffer, as the balance over impairment was
at least 100000. He presented to the court
the request OF six or the seven directors
OF the bank that Levi c. Lathrop, the
banks vice president and largest depositor,
banker and member OF firm prominent
on the Cotton and Stock Exchanges, be
appointed temporary receiver. William
Allen Butler echoed the recommendation.
Superintendent Preston addressed the
that the directors of the bank proposed
to him TO make good the impairment, pro-
viding arrangements should be made with
the clearing house committee. Judge Tru-
ak reserved the appointment until Tues
day next.
intendent Preston acted arbitrarily and
without warrant in closing the St Nicholas
Bank. Mr.. Graves asserts that he would
have personally guaranteed that the i'm
pairment would have been done. Many
Wall-Street brokers were lily interest ed
in the probable action to be taken by Mr..
Preston and the Attorney-general to-day.
II learned this morning that President
Graves owed the bank $4,000. President
Graves himself acknowledged later that
he owed $4,000 to the bank. He said:
Yes. l owe that amount. but ii was bor-
rowed on the best OF security. and / can

fairs of the suspended st. Nicholas Bank

There is an evident purpose to hurry the

sembles. 1t is probable that the sessions
will begin at IL O'clock in the morning
and last till p. during the considera-
ton OF the bill. Many are urging that the
bill be passed at an early date so that
business affairs may be adjusted to the
new conditions. Several Democratic men,

a caucus on the tariff bill do not believe
that it will now be held.
