sHELBY's BROKEN BANK.
Criminal Acts and Queer Methods in
the management.

Memphis, Tenn, Aug. 15.-Charges of
criminal acts and queer methods are nov
made in connection with the broken bank
of Shelby, a state institution, with al
legged paid-up capital of $50 1000 and with
deposits of $4,000. The doors were closed
last Thursday, and the bank is in the
hands Of an assignee. II gave out as
the amount of assets Sl37.O00. with iabil-
tiles of 100000, and amount of cash on
hand S56. The day of the crash the bank
was open for business one hour and il
has developed through litigation begun
since that the deposits were received al
most to the very moment the doors were
closed.
The assignee found the books in a mud
die and will not be able to determine
the status Of affairs for ten days The
a reckless ana questionable policy pre-
vailed in making loans. L. b. Lacy, the
cashier is on the list of debtors for $751;
900, which is past due and practically uh-
secured. He is said to owe over $4,000
]. b. Williams, the president, owes ST.
900 on his own account while outside
concerns in which he is interested are in
debted to the bank for several more.
President Williams, until a year ago
trustee, and has been for years a pOliti-
cal leader. His influence secured deposits
among the democratic masses, and the
call on him for loans by special friends
was also heavy. The bank was regard
ed as a semi-poltical institution. Many
of its directors are worth nothing.

bank or at the treasury. II pays the bill
and refunds the money. The chief Of the
redemption bureau during my visit sent
for a package OF $4,000 worth Of such
money. 1t came from national bank at
Bridgeport, Conn. He showed me how the
express messengers sometimes took hot
knife and raised the seal, and were thus
enabled to get out the bundles OF green
backs, and to put in their places bundles
Of newspaper slips. He says that this
form Of sealing grows less, however. from
year TO year. and that the express compa-
MES now put such packages IN safes which
are not opened until they reach their des-
tination. Not long ago a package of
5000 came looking apparently all right.
On being opened IL was found TO contain
only $500, the other 1850 having been stol-
en-. The express company made good the
loss.
A noted express robbery was that Of a
clerk named Winslow This occurred IN
1876 Winslow took a package containing
about $1,000 IN 800 notes, which had been
put up and ordered sent 20 the National
Bank OF Illinois Winsiow knew that this
package was 20 be sent out He prepared
an envelope just like one Of the regular
onicial envelopes and had II niied with
blank paper. He had sealed II with the
ONCE seal and when he got his hands %
the package of genuine notes he put Il

into his pocket and substituted his blank
paper package for II. The fraud was OF
course, at once discovered, and within
a month the secret service bureau was
on the track of the thief. He had grown
frightened and had left a package con-
tanning $1,000 at the home of the chief
OF the secret service. This was traced
TO him and he was arrested, convicted
and sent TO prison.
A clerk named Halleck created bfg
sensation about a year before this. He
was acting in the cash room of the treas
ury department. and he had a confederate
In the person of saloon keeper in WASH
ington named Gilman. He took a pack
age of big notes one day and handed them
through the window of the cash room to
this man Ottman. This package CEN
tanned $4,000. the most Of which was IN
$500 notes. Halleck II is said. handed
the package 10 Ottman. who took IL and
ran away. There was however a third
party 10 the plot. sporting man named
Brown. He got hold OF some of the $500
bills, and II was through his betting with
these on the race track that suspicion
was called 20 him. lie was arrested ana

AN EMBARRASSED SHEET.
Augusta Evening News susPends, IL
Is stated, Permanently.


Augusta. Ca. Aug. l5-The Augusta
Evening News issued no paper to-day.
1t is seriously embarrassed financially.
and several days ago the sheriff posted
a notice on its front door OF the fore
closure Of a mortgage
The closing to-day was precipitated by
the typographical union. which ordered
the men to work no longer. They have
not paid on for a long time. II is not
stated that the suspension is final. but
Il IS believed TO be. Since the death OF
Col. BIN Moore, who was the chief owner
and guiding spirit Of the paper. and the
departure of Mr.. Thomas r. Gibson. who
was from its inception its passport 10
popularity. the tenure OF the paper has
been uncertain. Theme men who were
placed in charge found il hopelessly in
volved. and all their efforts have been
under most discouraging circumstances.
Nearly a score of years ago. the Even
ing News was founded by Messrs. Moore,
Cow and Weigle. 1t was the first after
noon paper In the south. Judge Gibson,
now consul to Beirut. was the local editor
and in the course of years came TO be the
backbone and mainstay of the paper, Civ
ing to it the popularity it enjoyed. Mr..
Weigle's interest was bought by the other
partners several years ago. The death
Of Mr.. Moore and the departure Of Mr..
Gibson left Mr.. Cow sole survivor of the
original organization. Mr., Cow formerly
conducted a job printing business, and
from the organization of the Evening
News. the paper was printed in his job
rooms. He was not a newspaper man him
self and in the trying financial times that
have oppressed every branch of business.
he has been unable TO weather the storm.
