present and arousing indignation. The prin-
cipal villain, Rufus Ward, causes the death OF
q prosperous merchant by getting Tiger, his
partner, to explode dynamite bomb on board
a ship. He afterward shoots Harry Howard,
the heroic member of the New York Fire De-
partment. Subsequently he ehloroforms the
widow of the dead merchant and steals the
child. Harry Howard foils the villain. The
most thrilling scene in the play is that depict
ing the burning of a tenement-house, when
team of horses and the firemen handle the ap-
paratus just as they do in real life. 1t is a
striking realistic scene. Mr.. Sheridan displays
ond story of q building, using the latest con
trivances for the rescue of people from burn
ing buildings. Another realistic scene is the

EASE THE SITUATION.
Effect of the Imports of Withdrawals for Hoardng Practically Ceased-The
 Surplus Unevenly Distributed,

New York, Sept. 5.-The New York Financier says this week:
 Although over $7,500, ,00O in gold have already arrived from Europe, the state- ment of the associated banks of New York city for the week ending Septem- Der shows a gain of only $1, ,S51, 200 in specie. However, over $4,000,000 of this gold arrived too late to be included in the currency statement From this time out the banks should begin to reflect the full effects of the heavy shipments.
 The statement otherwise is a repetition Of those for three weeks previous. The banks are losing heavily to the interior and are making up for the withdrawals of cash by contracting their loans and are also taking out as much new circu- lation as possible to tide over the pres ent stringency. Just how long this pol icy of contraction could be continued without serious results is question, but fortunately the supply received or now in transit will render further action of this kind unnecessary. The bank state- ment does not show it, but the imports of gold are already easing the situation to considerable extent. The banks still hold $S,22S,550 in excess of their legal requirements, but the trouble is that the surplus Is unevenly distributed, twelve of the national banks still being below the 20 per cent reserve, one of them, the National Citizens, showing only 16.1 per cent.
 As for actual operations, the banks lost $3,674, 900 in legals and gained $1,851,- 200 in gold. The loss in cash, therefore, was $1,S23,400, which, considering the magnitude of interior shipments Is rath- CT small. The one favorable feature which the weeks results shows Is that withdrawals for hoarding do not figure to any great extent. The decrease in deposits was $4,S63,000, caused by loan oontractions and the movements above stated. That the loss in cash at this sea- son is not abnormal is shown by the fact that the interior demands last year from September to October 2S decreased de- posits SAG, ,000, 900.
 The increase in the circulation of the banks for the week was $924, ,OO0, the Fourth National, Third National and Western National making large in- creases. Since the first week in August the banks have taken out $3,179. 300 new circulation Whether as in 1893, the notes will be returned almost unused, is not known, but further expansion in view of the heavy gold imports, would seem unnecessary, as the profit on it is only fractional.

ARMENIAN's ACCIDENTAL FALL
Creates Panic in Constantlnople-The
 Catholic Patriarch's Movement.

Catholic Patriarch's Movement.
 Constantinople, Sept. 5-A complete panic was caused here yesterday by the falling of an Armenian from a window to the street below. The people who saw the man fall believed that he had been thrown out of the window, and a rumor spread like wild fire that rioting had been renewed. The shops in Constantnople and Galata were closed at once and kept closed until the scare was over and the people had become quiet.
 It Is reported that the Armenian Revo- lutionary association is making arrange ments for a great Armenian demonstra- tion. The Armenian Catholic Patriarch has caused the distribution of certificates intended to identify the holders thereof as Armenian Catholics, and this measure has thrown the Gregorian Armenians in- to great consternation, fearing that they may be made the chief victims of vio- lence.

Captain Cam Places the Cap Sheaf on the Glory of the Georgians-Team's
 Remarkable Record.

Sea Girt, N. J., Sept. 5.-Fortune fla . vored the promoters of the sixth annual meeting of the New Jersey rflemen this week. The last match had been shot and but three or four were shooting on the long ranges today when it started to rain at o'clock. The weather the rest of the week has been fair and clear, although at times the stiff wind bothered the rifle men, principally on the 200 and 300 yard ranges, which required standing posi- ton.
 The important event today was the presented by the National Rifle associa- ton of Great Britain to the National Ri- fle association of America in 1875. It has been shot for every year since that time.
 The winner this year was Capt. George T. Cam of Savannah, Ga., whose score ten competitors was allowed thirty shots, and the distance was 1000 yards. The targets were placed directly behind the 300 yard range, and were conspicuous by their large bulls eyes.
 Captain Cam shot with a special mili- tary Winchester and was allowed only six points handicap, while those who shot with the ordinary Springfield rifles were allowed eighteen points. With the SIX added to Canns score his total was 109.
 Lieut.. II. V. W11SOH, diSo LII who is probably one of the best all-round shots in the country, made a score of ninety He used special rife, and accordingly was allowed no handicap.
 Captain Cam never expected to win the match. He has had little practice on the 1000 yard targets, but he made an ex- cellent showing nevertheless. The Geor- gin marksmen were overcome with joy when they realized that they had won two of the National Rifle association matches, the Wimbledon and the inter- state A message was sent at once to Captain Williamson of the team, who lef for his home Friday morning
