St. Paurs biggest Bank Fails.

ST. PAUL, Aug. Like a crash of thun-
der from clear sky came the announce
rnent that the National German-American
bank. an institution which is capitalized
for larger amount than any other bank
in St Paul, would not open its doors thia
morning. President Jockey of the bank
admitted that the report was true
SO far as can be learned no other bank
will be affected by the German-American
suspension. The bank has really been
forced to take this step by pressure for pay
ments OF rediscounts by New York banks
The city of St. Paul has S45, 900 deposited
in the bank. and the state of Minnesota

Came to Buv Gr..n Cool,

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-The wave of fnan-
cial depression swept over Crete, Neb, sew
eral weeks ago and caused q scarcity of
currency. J. A. Dorse, the city marshal of
the town, who owns a big store where ev-
erything that country folk usually require
is sold. was affected by the dearth Of cash.
He had received a typewriter letter from
a New York firm of green goods merchants,
and he decided to come on and do up the
metropolitan fakirs. He came, met the
green goods men, got their box OF green
paper away from them and saved his
money

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-The overshadowins
feature OF the financial situation has come
to be the scarcity Of currency. From all
over the country there has been such con.
tinual demand for bills of small denomi-
nation and New York has responded 20
freely to the requests of out OF town banks
that now the metropolis itself is suffering
from what very closely approaches a cur
rency famine.
For several days money brokers have been
offering premiums of from e. so to SO per
$1,000 for small bills, Seo and under, and
the bids were advanced to eco and Ss5. Con-
siderable business IS known to have been
done at these figures. One firm, thinner
man & Forshay, admitted that they had
bought currency in large amounts for Gus
toners for use in making up the coming
Saturday payrolls, but where they secured
the money they declined to say.
The banks, with one accord, denied that
they had parted with any funds for a pre-
MUM. One source of supply was suggest
ed in the large retail stores up town. whose
receipts from day to day are in small bills
Certified checks were offered to them in
exchange at premiums ranging from to
10 per cent. How much was secured in
this manner can only be estimated. The
daily receipts at some of these stores must
be figured in thousands of dollars.
Some relief is looked for when the gold
now atioat reaches here. and more as soon
as the comptroller OF the currency is able
to begin the delivering of the new circula-
ton ordered by the national banks

that he believed the Sherman act would
never be repealed unless a suitable substi

Two Convicted Murderers Overpower the
 Keepers and Make Of in a Boat.
 SING SING, April 21.-One of the most daring escapes from prison ever con. ceived was successfully carried out last night at 9 o'clock, two convicted mur- derers, Thomas Pallister and Fred Rohle, making their escape and their absence not being discovered until 5:40 this morning.
 Keepers Houltz and Murphy formed the night death watch, and tell the fol- lowing story: At g o'clock Houltz went into :.the hall with Pallister's supper. When he entered the cell the prisoner threw red pepper in his eyes, knocked him down, secured his revolver and keys and locked him in the cell. Pallister then released Rohle and invited three other condemned murderers, including Carlyle Harris, to join them, but they refused. Keeper Murphy entered the corridor at this time and he was attacked, relieved of his keys and weapons and locked in Rohle's cell. The men then broke a skylight and jumped from the roof of the build ing, which is only one story high. They escaped in a boat and, it is supposed, went to Nyack.
 Both men were convicted of murder, but had secured stay of proceedings, and a decision in the cases was ex- pected this week. Rohle's father just ar rived in the country, with $14 1000 in gold which he said he would spend to save his sons life.
