THROUGHOUT LOUISIANA.
New Orleans Private Bank.

The Philip J. Greene bank. New Or.
leans, closed the other day. Mr.. Greene
came from Denver last fall, and an
nounced himself as very welthy cap
italist, with an intention of entering
the banking business in New Orleans.
He lived sumptuously, got an entree to
the best financial circles, and, on Feb.
ruary /, opened his bank in prom
inent business location. Deposits
were received, and the bank began
to prosper. Several weeks ago Mr..
Greene became i'll, and departed for
ST. Louis for treatment. leaving no in
structions as to the payment of his
bills. AS these matured they were
presented, but left unpaid. A provi.
sional seizure was made on the bank
by the landlord for $4,000. and other
creditors filed suit. The officials of the
bank declare that every cent of the
deposits will be paid.
WHAT THE EX-BANKER SAYS.
Says dispatch from Denver, Col. j:
"Mr. Greene says he quit the banking
business in New Orleans on account
of excessive taxation. According to his
story, the authorities notified him that
his taxes the first year would be S16,-
600. As he had only $50, ,0GO on deposit
and the outlook for business was not
as rosy-hued as it appeared last Decem-
Der, when he decided to go into the
banking field, he thought it the part
of wisdom to let go. He says he paid
all derositors in full, and if any suits
were fled it was for rent or insurance,
both of which he declares he will meet
as they fall due.
Greene spent two or three years in
Denver and Colorado, and when he
left tor New Orleans carried with him
gilt-edged recommendations bearing
signatures of the mayor and city treas
urer of Denver and well-known state
officials. He is little known in busi-
ness circles. According to his stories
he was worth at least $1,000, 900, the
larger part of the money being in
vested in government bonds"

Ordering n Suspension Of the

TRUCE is ONLY TEMPORARY
WILL BE IN EFFECT DURING THE

The MiI.ado's Action Due to the In
Lii Hung Cbans's Life.

LONDON, March 29.-An official dispatch
from Toxic says the Emperor of Japan has
declared an unconditional armistice in the
war between that country and China. The
decision of the Emperor to declare an
armistice was greatly due to the indigna-
ton aroused by the attack on the Chinese
peace ambassadors.
The Times this morning says, editorially
Official news of the declaration of an
armistice by the Emperor of Japan has
been received in London. 1t will be hailed
everywhere with general satisfaction. The
more prudent Japanese statesmen have
probably become convinced that the occupa-
tion of Peking would entail momentous
consequences, with which they are not pre-
pared to deal. The idea that the Mikado' s
action was the result of a generous i'm
pulse connected with Ii Hung Chang can
hardly be accepted as probable. 1t cannot
be hastily assumed that the war will end
until Japans demands are heard"

ANNA DICKINsON'S FREAKS.
Declined to Battle. Refused to Dress
and Kissed Her Physician.

SCRANTON, Pa, March 29.-In the Anna
Dickinson damage suit, now on trial in the
United States court here to-day, May Bach
leine, of the Danville insane asylum, tes-
titled that while the plaintiff was an in
mate of the institution she declined to
bathe and said she saw poison in the coffee
and refused to drink it. j. III. Dryden,
one of Miss Dickinson's neighbors, testi-
fed that he saw her out in the night in
the winter time with very thin apparel.
His attention was attracted to her by her
loud cries. Doctor Johnson, her physician,
swore that once when he was visiting her in
his professional capacity she drew him
down to her and kissed him. He was not
prepared to swear whether she had been
drinking or was insane. DIR. Underwood.
one of the defendants in the suit brought
by Miss Dickinson, told the jury that he
had assisted in removing her to the asylum.
He said that they had to put on her clothes
by force when they went to remove her
from her room at home. He considered
her insane. 1t is probable that Miss Dick
inson will address the jury in her own be-
half tomorrow.

past five years mortgage clerk in the Wor-
cester County Institution for Savings the
Oldest and richest savings bank in this
city, disappeared Wednesday afternoon
after confeSsing to the bank officials that
he had embezzled s.. 25S. The mischief was
caused by a confessedly imperfect system
of recording interest payments on mort
cages. Treasurer Chase discovered few
days ago that White had q bank book
on another savings bank. This aroused
the suspicious of the officials and they be-
gan an examination of Whites books and
vouchers. 1t was discovered that the clerk
had received a payment of $75 as interest on
a mortgage, had indorsed that amount on
the note but had not entered it upon the
blottar. This discovery was made Mon
day, March 25. The day following Treasur-
er Chase accused White of taking S75 He
admitted it and was at once discharged
by Mr. Chase. White then drew a revolver
and threatened to kill himself He was
finally queted down and amazed the officia Is
by giving them a. schedule of thefts of sums
ranging from $25 TO $780, He wanted to
be retained in his position and pay back
the amounts stolen. This proposition was
refused Wednesday morning he went to
the bank and said he would return in
short time. He failed to do so.
