PECULIAR BANK|NG, This.
st. Nicholas Published Reports
Differ from Those Filed.
The Bank Failed to Show Loan
Of 100000.

The fact that the statement OF the St.
Nov. 2s last, and published a week later,
differs from that on file in the Banking
Departments office at Albany was
shown by 'The WorlR' to-day.
Whether this indicated any intention
on the part of the officials of the defunct
institution to conceal the true condition
of the bank from its depositors or not
has been the subject of some question.
The discrepancy consisted in the fact
that the item of 5000, 900. which had been
borrowed by the st. Nicholas from the
Gallatin Bank and Bank of the Repub-
lie in equal amounts, on collateral con-
sisting of bills and notes which had been
discounted by the st. Nicholas, was in
the published statement included in

peared In its proper place as a liability
under the head of amounts due trust
companies and other banks"
The question was whether the officers
OF the st. Nicholas Bank were endeavor-
ing to conceal from their depositors the
fact that they had been borrowing or
not. Bank Examiner Judson. OF the
In neither of the general statements do
these items appear but only In the
schedules.
When the statement was first submit
ted to the Department. according to Mr..
Judson, 1t appeared that the 5000
which was specified in the schedules as
having been loaned by, the Gallatin and
the Bank of the Republic, had been in
cludei in the sum due depositors
This was incorrect, and the officers of
the st. Nicholas were so informed by
fore submitted a new statement, in
which this defect was remedied, and the
sum was credited to the item "due trust
companies, other banks. &C."
The original statement had already
been printed and distributed, and as the
correction made by transferring the
sum from one account to the other made

was paid to the matter until after the

would settle the matter. 1t was at most
only an error in bookkeeping"
This is the day for the payment Of the
first dividend to the depositors of the
st. Nicholas Bank by Receiver Hugh j.
Grant. This dividend amounts to about
40 per cent. of the entire amount.
Mr.. Grant announced this morning
that the claims from 205 depositors had
been approved and that checks were
mailed to them to-day for their pro rata
share.
The amount paid out in this manner
was about $4,000. The, other assets of
the bank are being collected as rapidly
as possible. and there is no doubt, the
receiver says, that the depositors will
within a reasonable time be paid the full
amount of their claims.

GONE :?
Whereabouts of the Convicted
Gravesend Justice a Mystery,
Missing from His Home and Usual
Haunts Last Night.
Court Offlcials Somewhat Uneasy
Over His Disappearance.

Kenneth F. Sutherland, the favorite
Police Justice OF ex-Chief McKane. who
was convicted last evening OF oppres-
sion, which calls for imprisonment for
year in the penitentiary besides a
heavy fine, has made himself very
scarce ever since the verdict OF the
jury was announch.
He did not spend the night at his
home at Coney Island, nor was he seen
at any of his accustomed haunts In
Gravescnd, or in Brooklyn. No one has
seen him, at least that Is what his inti-
mate friends say.
Although his lawyer, Foster L. Back
us. has made himself responsible for
Sutherland's appearance to return FRI
day morning. when he is to be ar
raigned for sentence the Brooklyn court
officials are beginning to show consid-
cradle anxiety about his disappearance.
To be sure he IL still under $4,000 bail,
but that Is for form. being completely
satisfactory, for the forfeiture Of this
bond would hardly satisfy the demands
of justice in the opinion of the public, so
far as the punishment of the Gravesend
Justice is concerned.
VI,
this morning, 1t was said that he had
not been there during the night, and a
reporter of "The Evening World" was
informed that he was probably in
Brooklyn at the office of his counsel
Mr.. Backus.
A reporter called there several times
during the morning. but the lawyer had
not been "een then.
A clerk, who was in charge OF the
office, said he expected Mr.. Backus in
any time. He thought that his chief
knew where Sutherland was, and that the
latter would turn up all right tomorrow
Others who had seen Mr.. Backus
earlier in the morning stated that he had
appeared to be very much worried and
that he had had nothing to say about
| Sutherlands whereabouts.
Ex-Sheriff Furey. who is Sutherland's q
bondsman, was seen to-day. He did not
appear to be alarmed and said that he
thought Sutherland would appear in
court Tomorrow, and that he was only
Keeping out of the way to avoid un-
pleasant callers and interviewers.
Later in the day Lawyer Backus was
seen. He said that he heard nothing
from Justice Sutherland this morning
and did not know where he was. He
didn OF know either where Justice Suth-
erland passed the night.
When Sutherland left the courtroom
yesterday afternoon he went to New
York and informed Lawyer Backus Of
an address where he could be found
within an hour.
Lawyer Backus said he had no cause
for uneasiness and that Sutherland 3
bondsmen were not uneasy.
The offense is only a misdemeanor and
1t was not necessary for Sutherland to
be In court when the verdict was
brought in.

Bullet Struck His Head, but

Ugly Scalp Wound.
AN EARLY MORNING. STRIKE.
Then Long Island City Street Rail-
way Men Tore Out Wires and
Ripped Up Tracks.

The employees of the Stenway Street
Railway, Long Island City, went out on
strike at 130 this morning, and soon
after Assistant Superintendent John Co.'S
grove narrowly escaped assassination.
A pistol-shot was fired from the crowd
into the Company's office. the bullet
striking Mr.. Cosgrove in the head. 1t
glanced OF, making only an ugly scalp
wound.
The strikers also destroyed some Of
the Company's property They are in an
ugly mood, and more trouble Is looked
for. The men declare they will use vio-
lence II the Company should attempt to
run the cars.
A large gang OF the disgruntled en-
ployees gathered in front of the Steinway
Traction Companys Office, In Astoria,
early this morning, and acted threaten
ingly
Supt Moulton and Assistant Supt. John
Cosgrove were standing in the office. A
pistol shot was fired from the crowd into
the Office. The bullet struck Mr.. Cos
grove
A physician was Immediately summoned
to dress Cosgrove's wound, and after
bandaging his head sent him home.
The strike was declared after the last
trip was made from the Hunters Point
end this morning.
One hundred men are now out, and
they have the road completely tied up.
Supt. Moulton fears that he will have
further trouble to-day, and has notified
the police to be prepared to quell any
disturbance should the strikers become
unruy.
The strikers at daylight cut the trolley
wires LEADING into the car barn and also
tore up the track Of the road. The mob
also bockaded the tracks in the vicini-
ty of the car barn with wagons, wood.
paving stones and other distractions.
Three weeks ago Supt Moulton dis
charged five men in order to cut down
expenses They were Frank Norton.
JAMS Nortond Edward Finnegan. John
Reilly and Joseph Cook. They had been
employed by the Company for years.
All OF the employees of the road are
members of the Union. They did not
think that the discharge OF these men
was warranted, and appointed commits
tee, consisting of Peter Hunt and Dennis
Dane, to wait upon Supt, Moulton and
ask for the reinstatement of the dis
charged men.
AT present the strikers have the best
OF the trouble, as the Company has no
men in reserve and 1t will be some days
before experienced men can be procured
to run the cars.
The strikers say they will resist with
violence any attempt to move the cars
until the demand for their rights is set
tied. The trouble has been brewing for
some days. but the Company was taken
unawares this morning when the men
struck.
Mr. Moulton gave them no satisfaction,
and they waited upon General SupL
John McCabe. McCabe told them that
he had no jurisdiction in the matter
and could do nothing for them, as every
thing was in the hands of Supt. Moulton.
The men also have another grievance
against the Company. They demand the
restoration OF their old wages, which
were reduced q few weeks ago.
The Company also forced The. men 70

Stevenson was one of the greatest
English nevelists of modern times,

been the greatest. BE wac born at
