STILL FAST IN THE SAND.
Little Hope of releasing the Big
Liner Until the Wind
Changes.

Long Branch, n. j., Jan. 27.--There is
absolutely no change in the condition of
the big ocean steamship st. Paul today.
The American liner is lying exactly III

site the Grand View hotel. Early this
morning at high tide the Wreckng tugs

arduous effort to pull the steamer out
of the Jersey sand. The Hedge anchors
were also used, but to no purpose. The
wind was from the west this morning.
There was not enough water for the big
ship to churn in, as the off shore breeze
had the effect of keeping it away. There
will probably be very little Roadway

1t will require the aid of an easterly or
southeasterly breeze, some twenty knots
velocity, with a strong sea, combined
with the efforts of the tugs and the help

er off. The wind is stronger than it

corning the physical condition of Gen.

nosed his case as being advanced stage
of consumption complicated with fever.
1t is further stated that the physicians
have come to the conclusion that Gomez

CONCEALED A BIG THEFT.
Mr.. Fleischmann Said to Have Had a
Defaulting Cashier Elected

Cincinnati O., Jan. pa strange
story is made public today of the loss
of 100000 of a special fund deposited
by President Charles Fleischmann of
the Market National bank of this city
in the vault in care of Cashier S. w.
Ramp to be kept as a special reserve
during the panicky summer of 1898 and
only to be used in case of absolute neces-
sity by the bank during Mr.. Fleisch-
mann's absence on his summer vacation.
The story goes that not long afterwards
Ramp went to Fleischmann's attorneys
and made the astounding confession that
he had spent the entire sum in gam
bling in stocks, racing, etc. Fleischmann,
to save the credit of the bank, kept the
story quiet and arranged to have Ramp
elected to the state Senate as an ex-
cuse for severing his connection with
the bank. What arrangements, if any,
to pay the money is not known, but
