MILWAUKEE, Jan. 1s.-Falsified books,
inflated assets, worthless securities. bad
loans, and nothing or next to nothing for
the dcpositors, is the history of the finan.
ctcrin2 which caused the wreck Of the
South Side Savings hank, according to
the testimony Of Expert August p. Con.
rad, who testified in the case of Banker
John X. kOetting. lie swore that on the
morning Of July q, 1893, when the bank
closed there were in the hank $244 900 of
assets to meet liabilities Of q GEO OBS. 81, or
an actual deficiency Of 81 ,23O. 600.
Conrad swOre that he found that accord
ing to the official Published statements of
the hank there should have been a capital
Of SlOo. 600, but he found no mention of il in
the books and did not put 1t in his state
mcnt Of liabilities. He searched the books
as far back as they go and found a state
mcnt in the books in 1872, where the capi-
tai was mentioned as 5000, and this was
the only reference, witness said.
Evidence was brought to show that the
bank had been hoplessly looted and that
all manner of tricks had been resorted to
by Cashier koctting to temporarily cover
up discrepancies, A. p. Conrad, the ex-
pert accountant, testified that President
TRIUMPH and koctting began &c 3labble with
the cash drawer in 1871. The prosecution
intend to show that during some ten
years koctting had withdrawn more than
slCO0OO from the cash drawer, leaving in
place Of it only memorandum slips; that
this indebtedness had been taken up by
koetting taking notes and collateral oi
the bank and discounting them at othe,
hanks. The proceeds were used to replace
the money taken from the cash drawer
but the notes were never credited as hav.
ing been discounted, and it left the same
shortage, though in different form.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Jan. 1s.-Governor
Fishback has received information of
reign of terror which exists among the
colorcd population of the town OF Black
Rock. According to the governors in
formation a very serious condition of af-
fairs exists there which may result in
blooished. Black Rock is the center of a
large manufacturing and lumber district,
and owing to the present financial strin-
gency a large number of men are thrown
out of employment. Among them are
many lawless characters who have organ
lied for the purpose of driving all the ne
groes ont of the town. They have sue
ceedcd in the intimidation of many fac
tory owners so far that they have dis
charged all the negroes in their employ
in fear of the possible consequences which
might follow their refusing to accede 10
the demands Of the whitecaps.
The Negro Population Leaving.
On iast Iriuay niSbt tue ioiio"inS Ho-
tice was posted in a public place: '.All
| negroes must leave this town inside of ten
days or take what follows, and all who
have houses rented to them must fire them
or we will fire the houses inside of ten
days. Negroes, don't let this slip your
mind" This was followed by verbal and
written notices to the mill and factory
men that they must discharge every negro
in their employ or their property will be
burned. The mills and factories are
guarded. the streets are patrolled by men
armed with Winchesters. The other side
claims that they have promise of outside
help and serious trouble seems imminent.
The colorcd population, which numbers
about 800, is completely cowed. About
one-third of them have left and most OF
the Others viii go if the mill men should
follow the advice of the whitecaps.
