THE BURSTED MERGED BANK
The Bank Commissioners Assume Charge
Of Affairs
The Courts Will Be Asked to Say Whether
the Directors Are Guilty OF Nsyli-
gence or Crime

MERGED, Call, Oct. This morning
Bank Commissioners Paris Kilbourne,
Judge w. II. MCGEE and Col. ]. b. Full
ler, with their secretary. c. III. Duns-
moor, held meeting with the directors
of the defunct Mercsd bank. Andrew J.
Clunie of San Francisco made an aggres
sive fight for the depositors, who are
much dissatisfied with the conduct of the
bank officials, and who have made two
unsuccessful attempts before this to have
a new board of directors put in. The old
directors have heretofore persistently re-
fused to give depositors any satisfaction
or any information. The comm ission ers
adopted a resolution declaring the BANK
lnsolyent. and taking possession OF the
banks affairs.
This resolution practically stops all
business until the courts decide whether
the old directors are guilty OF fraud,
criminal carelessnss or negligence. That
matter will be determined by suit to be
brought by the encouragement to oust
the said directors. The bank commits
sioners expected to leave here on the
south-bound train this afternoon, but
shortly after noon were subpoenaed to
appear before the grand jury tomorrow
morning to testify in some matters be-
ing Investigated by TIE jury i'll connec
Gion with the Merced bank.
General opinion prevails that some
criminal actions will be brought against
the bank officials as a result OF the inves-
legations now being made.

IMPROVED NAVY MANEUVERS
Admiral Bunce to be Allowed the
Widest Liberty
A New System of narine Evolcrions r1ade
Necessary by Growth of the
United States Navy

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-The North
Atlantic squadron will go to sea again in
a few days from Chesapeake bay to re-
sumo evolutions. 1t is probable that the
entire squadron, reinforced by the Maine
and the Indiana, will continue these ev-
olutions on larger scale in southern
waters during the approaching winter,
though the details of the winter cruise
have not yet been definitely arranged.
The department has determined to allow
Admiral Bunce the widest liberty in this
work, which is regarded as one of the
greatest importance to the navy. For
many years our navy has been Obliged to
content itself with the adoption of such
marine tactics included in foreign codes
as seemed desirable. So far as these
related to individual ships their useful
ness has been demonstrated from time to
time, but when it came to the great fleet
manoeuvres, the department was obliged
to take them on trust. There has been q
distinct difference of opinion among
naval officers as to the suitability of
many of these rules for our own use and
the department has long sought the or-
portunity to ascertain their value by q
practical demonstration For the first
time since we began to build modern
navy the opportunity is now in our reach,
and this is the -ork the squadron is now
carving on and which it will continue
during the winter, for very much remains
to be done,

MAY USE THE REGULATOR
The Thomson Houston Company an Un-
successful Litigant
The Order Restraining Others From Using the
Automatic Regulator Dissolved Be-
cause OF a Prior Patent

CHICAGO, Oct. THE United States
circuit court of appeals today handed
down, among others, an opinion upon
which depended, it is estimated, not less
than $25, 900, 900 ana practical monop-
oily of the ara electric lighting business
for four years. The Thomson-Houston
Electric company was the unsuccessful
party in the suit. The action involved
the device known as the automatic regu-
lator. which as TO electric lighting per-
forms function similar to that of q
governor on the steam engine. The suit was
begun against the Western Electric COM
pany of this city. praying for an injunc-
Son restraining the defendant company
from using the regulator and asking an
accounting.
The snlt came up before Judge Gross
cup in June, 1894. The court upheld the
contention of the Western Electric com
pany that the patent, which 1t was
claimed was being infringed, was void
because of the prior issue of patent COW
ering the device. An appeal was taken
to the court OF appeals which today
affirmed Judge Grosscup's decision and
ordered the disra issal of the case.
This is final.

NEW YORK, Oct. There vas con-
siderable excitement before the formal

the following candidates: For register,
Thomas +. Keating, state Democrat; I;

sions, Thomas Allison, Platt Republican: /:
John Fennel, state Dem oorat; fol CITY
court justices, Henry q. Botty. Platt Re-
publican; Daniel O'Connell state Demo-
crat, and James W. Hawes. Republican.
Inc ticket was finally agreed upon at
the conference at Republican heaOquar-
ters, which lasted almost to the hour OF
closing the convention.
1t was great disappointment to the
straight ticket men that three places had
been conceded to the state Democrats,
one to the committee of fifty and one to
the good government clubs. There were
left put four Platt Republicans on tina
ticket, as James Halves had not been
identified with either faction.
The Stecklers independent county or.
ganlZation and the Jimmie o. Brien anti
Tammany Democracy were refused q
place on the ticket. Edward Lauterbach,
however, and the other Platt leaders ex-
pressed themselves as satisfied with the
tt 3ket.
The convention was addressed by Mr..

the details of the fusion. Some objection
was made to the acceptance of the fusion
ticket on account of the presence OF two
cham ber of com m cree men on 1t. Final
ly it was adopted, there being only twen-
ty-four opposing votes among nearly 300
delegates. Then the ratification was
made unanimous.

"We favor and will endeavor to secure
such a modification OF existing laws as
will prevent bIackmail and oppression
and will enable the city to determine for
itself by popular vote whether the sale Ut
foods and necessaries shall be permitted
on Sunday with such restrictions as shall
not interfere with the religious observ-
ance of the day"
