CLOSED ITS DOORS.
The Nashua Savings Banks
Bus e5s Crippled.

Expressed Desire to Go Into Voluntary
Liquidation-D Depositors VIII Lose Moth
ing if Lenieney Is Shown Bank Oficials.
NASHUA, March 27-The Nashua Saw
ings bank closed its doors yesterday, an
Injunction having been issued against it
on application of the bank examiner.
Several reasons are given for this proceed
Ing, the principal one being the very large
falling off in deposits, thereby compelling
the bank to sell its securities to meet the
calls until point was reached at which
tbe principal of all other depositors would
be imperilled if the forced sale continued.
The officials claim to be able to pay all
depositors in full.
News of the suspension of the bank
spread quickly and caused great excite
ment throughout the city, although
among many financiers something of the
sort has been anticipated for some time.
This feeling extended to the depositors Of
the bank, and since Jan. more than
c500 600 has been paid them, while notices
bf withdrawal for April amount to $100 900
more.
The Cause OF tho Trouble.
The treasurer, v. &. Gilman, summed
up the situation as follows: 1.-The bank
asked the commissioner to consider the
question of voluntary liquidation. The
reasons for such q course are continued
adverse legislation, compelling the banks
to reduce the rate of interest to 8 per cent
which caused and continues to cause
large Withdrawals; the panic of '93
which filled all timid depositors
with alarm and led to the withdrawal of
all they could get under the rules con-
tinuel business oppression, necessitatine
Withdrawals of large sums for legitimate
use and the loss of three successive crops
at the west, so that the farmers had moth
ing to SELL and therefore could not pay
the interest on their mortgage loans nor
their notes at the local banks, and the
banks in turn had to suspend unless help
was furnished.
Although nearly So, 000,OO is involved
the officials cain that they will be able to
pay dollar for dollar, and it is generally
believed that the assets are sufficient to
pay the depostors in full, if time is al
lowed to convert them to best advantage
and losses do not occur
The last statement of the bank, issued
Jan. /, 1885, shows the amount due de-
positors to be S2703, 4S2 rs; surplus and
guaranty fund, $ll3077 u, and amount
due other banks, $4,000. The market

Standardization Point Toward a Gem
eral Strike at Oineyville In April.
PROVIDENCE, March 23-All the textile
manufacturers of Providence have agreed
to combine their interests. They decided
to close any OF all of their mills at the
first sign of strike. They also agreed
not TO communicates with their operatives
in the event of strike, and to make no
proposition of any description.
Horace A. Kimball, owner of the Man.
ton woolen mills, at which place the step
looking to a big strike at Olneyville was
taken, says he has no idea when he will
resume the operations of his plant He
attributes the inception Of the strike to
what are known as tramp weavers-men
who work In place long enough to get a
few dollars ahead and then go on to the
next manufacturing settlement
Manufacturers' Point OF View.
Mr.. Kmball sizes up the woolen manu-
hcturing business of Rhode Island as fol-
lows: "There is no desire on he part OF
the Inanufa. turers to combine against the
help, but they are In position where they
are forced to combine to protect them
selves against the operatives, who are de-
manding things which cannot be given.
"The operatives" he continued, "have
O mistaken notion that good times in the
mill business have been restored and that
the mills can afford to give the old rate OF
wages; they do not know how the mill
men In and around Olneyville figured to
get the market. s.
.They had to figure close, and then
work to get out a big volume OF product
to come out whole on such small margins.
None of them ever figured SO close before,
but by doing it they got the orders thai
have set all the mills in Olneyville run
ming, while there are lots of mills around
the country that are not able to do this.
Strike win he of No Avail.
"The help will find that they cannot
gain one mill by the course they have
taken. II they strike, they will stay ou
until they get ready TO look about and.fnd
that the wages already paid in anu around
Olneyville are fully as high, ana in some
instances higher than are paid in other
places.

that they will NOT go back to work whor

BACK TO HIS POST.
After an Absence of Over Four Years
Captain M. p. Maus Returns to
Angel Island.

Captain Marion P. Maus of the First In
fantry Regiment, U. S. A, stationed at
Angel Island, has returned to his post after
an absence of nearly five years. Since Au-
gust 81, $780, he has been aid-de-camp to
Maior-General Miles in New York. He
would probably have remained away
longer but for the law making it necessary
for an officer to return to his regiment at
the expiration of four years.
Captain Maus is one of the best known
officers of his rank in the army. During
the Apache Indian war in Arizona Captain
Maus, then first lieutenant, was present in
several hot encounters with the hostiles,
who were led by the notorious Chief Gero-
nimo. Lieutenant Maus was in charge of
q detachment OF soldiers and Indian scouts.
He followed the hostiles into Sonora, Mex,
and was in the company that was am
pushed and fired upon by chihuahua
troops at Aros River, Mexico. In that en-
counter the commander of the company
was killed and Lieutenant Maus led the
troops back to the United States. For his
marked skill and ability in conducting the
expedition back under trying and diff
cult circumstances, he received special
mention in the War Departments reports
and records. He also received special
honorable mention from Major-General
Cook. 1t was during the Geronimo expe-
dition and after his gallant retreat from
Mexico that he was brevetted captain.
Since then he has acquired all the honors
and remuneration of that position.
