WARRINGTON NATIONAL BANKS.


WAsHIsGros City, April 29.-TSpecial.l-
In common with the whole United States.
the abstract of the reports Of the condition
of national banks in the state Of Washing
ton, February IS, 1894, as compared with
the abstract of December 10. 1898, when
the previous call was made by the comp
troller. shows an improved condition of
the banks in nearly every respect. There
are sixty-one bankSnow doing business in
the state as against fifty-nine last Deem
Der and fifty-seven the preceding October.
The percentage of the average reserve held
by the sixty-one banks has increased from
27.l5 per cent. to %. 90 per cent, which il
largely above the legal requirement.
The amount of loans and discounts has
increased from 81. 29S, S67.36 to $I2 sos. :
62274; United States bonds to secure cir
culation from 81, ASS, 500 to 81. SOS. 600; law.
full money reserve from 1897, s07 IS to
81, 40. 6o3.O5, of which 81. 139. 7I0.45 is gold
coin, as against 81, 0o4, 1872 so in December.
Increased confidence in the banks Is
shown in the fact that the individual de-
posits have increased from 81. 49,, 0U.36 to
$s.74s, 9l0.4s. There 10 a slight increase in
the amount due to other national banks,
but . much greater decrease in the amount
amount of dividends unpaid. too, is re-
duced from So, 443 50 to $l3. 947.50. There
is also healthy falling off in the amount
of notes and bills re-discounted of over
SIC, 600. and the aggregate of bills payable
has fallen from $793, GAG. so TO $685., 4s3 80.
and of other liabilities from 500, 93l TO $685.
9s9.0S. National bank notes are in freer
circulation, the amount issued in the
whole state having increased from 81 800, =
ei5 to 81. 1876, 5a5. One OF the best evidences
OF prosperity is the fact that the banks
have now in the hands of approved reserve
agents $o72, ois. where in December they
had only $6i, 42L62 The amount due from
other banks. both state and national, has
greatly increased, showing that business is
again moving In its wonted channels.

an Saturday Night.
A gang Of burglars we're at work on Lake
street saturday night. but judging from
'he'r work they we're after eatahiss a. m uch
~ pawnaose goods. o. E. Hammond. who
iises IL 1910 Lake street. Vas the heaviest
loser. and In the future viii take great pre-
caution TO see that all the kitchen windows
are securely fastened before retiring.
"nen MIS-. Hammond arose yesterday
morning she found the kitchen window
down about two inches from the ton and
on giancing around the room saw tha.
something was wrong. In fact every est
able that had been purchased the DAY pre-
vious for the Sunday dinner had disap-
pearsd. Worse yet WAS the discovery in
other rooms. . new silk umbrella, q
hat. q new dress, the baby's shoes,
the baby's dress and even a hair
brush hsd taken fight Mrs. Hammond
recovered her breath apd then called Mr..
Hammond, who 10 . telegraph operator
and works late at night. Mr. Hammond
did not awake easily, but when he did
come to his senses and realized what had
happened he was mad. He dressed him
self quickly, went down stairs three 1t .
time and started on . tour Of inspection.
Outside the kitchen window were found
tracks, one set being those Of q man with
buiged foot and the others Of . little boy.
From this it was easily seen that
"Fagin's system" had been used to good
advantage. The man probably stood out
side the window and directed the move
ments Of the boy. who in his desire to
perform his work well took even the baby's
shoes.
After the burglars had finished work
Ut the Hammond house they went to ono
Of the neighbors, Mr.. Fox. and aItbo ugh
not successful in getting into the house
stole five-galion can Of coal oil and lot
Of vegetables.
W. b. Haynes house came next in or
der. and from there vegetables and meats
that were on the hack porch suffered The
piunderers were not satisf ed, and went
over to the New York dairy on Yssler
avenue, where they stole thirty-six cans
Of canned fruit. several cans Of milk and
q quantity of butter. One other victim
lost several table cloths, but his name
could not be learned.
Detective Cudihes vas Mt work on the
case eli day yesterday, but 80 far As could
be learned got TO clue. to the identity Of
the burglars. From the character Of the
goods they stole and the number of places
visited 1t 10 supposed that they had q
horse and wagon along. 1t 10 possible
that there may b some connection be-
tween the deserted horse and buggy found
on Main strsst by Officer Thorn yesterday
morning at 8 o'clock and tho series Of rob-
berries on Lake street.

Fire and Water, the leading journal in
fire protection matters, says editorially in
its issue of April 81:
Although Seattle is far Of in the wild
and woolly west. it is an 'up-so-date'
town. The forms for the new system Of
accounting, and forms of the reports of
ne fire department to the FIRE commission,
~ designed by Messrs. Agnew and Robin
son. have been placed in the hands Of the
finance committee for Investigation.
These, it Is claimed. will greatly simplify
the work Of keeping accounts in the differ
ent departments, at the same time show
ing to q much better advantage the work
ings of each separate department Of the
system. The performance sheet. IS 1t Is
called, will be Q complete record Of the
cost of all materials used. the number OF
fires. time at each. and will even show the
actual expense attendant upon each run
as well as the minutest detail OF any

EDITOR NELSON ATTACKED,
Mayor Davenport Of Kansas City In.
vades the Office Of the Star.

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 3.-Coionel ". r. Nell
son. editor of the Kansas City Star, was
attacked in his private Office this morning
by Mayor J. j. Davenport. Davenport
struck Colonel Nelson on the shoulder,
staggering him, though the blow was not
a heavy one. At this juncture Managing
Editor Johnson and City Editor Stout in
terfered, and elected Davenport from Col
onel Nelson's Office. He was kicked down
stairs. When he reached the bottom he
drew a revolver from his overcoat pocket
Mr.. Stout picked up a paper weight. but
no further trouble occurred. Before he
left the Star building he made several
threats against Colonel Nelson and certain
members OF the Star staff.
STheStar has recently opposed Davenport,
who is a Republican Candidate for the
nomination for mayor on the city ticket at
the coming election. Davenport went to
the Star office this morning and made sew
eral threats of personal violence against
Colonel Nelson if the policy of the paper
were not changed IN regard to himself.
Colonel Nelson replied that he was per-
sonally responsible for everything the pa
per contained and proposed to CONTINUE his
campaign against him. He considered
Davenport, he said, an exponent of the
spoils system of city government, and that
his bogus attempts at reform, were made
for effect and not to accomplish any re-
form
You are bloviating demagogue, and
no threats by you will prevent me from
defeating your election if you become a
candidate"
Nothing protects you but your gray
hairs, said Davenport.
"Never mind my gray hairs" said the
colonel, II am fully able to defend myself.
This conversation is Improbable, and
see no use in continuing it,
Colonel Nelson started toward the door
aud AS he passedDsvenport the blow follow
ed. No action will be brought against Dav-
neport in court by Colonel Nelson.
