BANK RAN ITSELF.
Buffalo Institution Which was With
out President or Cashier
is Closed.

Buffalo, N. Y, Oct 15.-No statement
of the assets and liabilities of the Bank
of Commerce, whose board of directors
decided to suspend business this morn
ing, has yet been made. The bank
was supposed to be one of the soundest
financial institutions in the city. The
individual deposits were 81, 659, 800;
bank deposits, $547, 400; loans and dis
counts, $1,7SS, 800.
It is learned this afternoon that Presi-
dent r. r. Hefford Of the Bank of Com
merce resigned that Office October 1.
For two weeks therefore the bank had
been without president or cashier. At
tempts at reorganization having failed
there was nothing honorable left to do
but to close the doors. The following
statement has been given out:
''The doors of the bank have been
closed, not because it had not money to
pay out, but because it was the desire of
the officers of the bank to do full justice
to it's creditors and not make themselves
criminally liable in case it was found
that the banks capital was impaired"

SHIPWRECK'S HORRORS.
Awful Experience of the Crew of
the Norwegian Bark
LuiS0.

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. 14.-The crew
of the Norwegian bark Liuse, which
foundered at sea September %, was
landed in this city today by the British
steamer Evelyn from Huelva, Spain.
Capt Anton Emendson tells thrilling
story of how his bark rescued the crew
Of the ship Marshall on September 8 and
landed them at the Bermudas and was
in turn rescued by the Evelyn.
Capt. Emendson says: eve left Mo-
bile, Ala, August Is, loaded with pitch
pine for Rosario, Argentine Republic.
We had light wind. until we reached
latitude 30 and longitude Is, when on
Monday, September z, a hurricane struck
us. On the 9th the Luise sighted a
ship right ahead. plunging helplessly in
the heavy sea. Drawing closer we saw
people on the ship franctically waving
to us and endeavored to launch BOAT.
Two men with Mate Tallaksen, at the
risk of their lives, after we ran to the lee
of the wreck, went over the side OF the
boat and took off a load of the Mar
shall's crew. -Four trips in all were
TIE Marshall hailed from Digby, n. s.,
and was loaded with pitch pine. She
had sailed from Savannah, Ga, and was
bound for Santos, Brazil.
''We set sail for the Bermudas in
order to land them and on September IL
we did so and proceeded on our way;
The wind continued light and calm until
Wednesday, September %, when in a
stiff breeze the Luise sprang leak.
I ordered both pumps manned and my
crew worked heroically, but the water
gained rapidly. We abandoned the

put the men on short allowance and
doled out water twice a day and finally
I reduced them to one small drink day.
1t was pitiful to hear the men as the
days went by begging for water. But /
could not give it to them, for our sole
salvation rested on this little water. The
men were covered with saltwater bOils
and finally two of the crew, Yansen and
Thebaul, showed symptoms of insanity.
We had all we could do to prevent them
from killing their mates or throwing
themselves out of the boat.
Capt Horner of the Evelyn at mid
night on Saturday, October 10, sighted
the sailors. These were the shipWrecked
crew of the Luise. 1.-Two boats were
swamped trying to reach them,' said
Capt. Horner, ''and | brought the steam

Carroll to nominate him and was mad
when his opponent was benefited by the
withdrawal of the Henry county man.
The reports say that Bronston cursed
Carroll roundly and that Carroll coolly
told him to think over the matter and
apologize for the remarks. Bronston
proposed to settle them in personal en-
counter but Carroll refused and told him
that he should have time in which to
take back his Objectionable language.
Letters have passed between them, but
it is stated by those close to Bronston
that he does not intend to retract what
he said, and they see no way out Of
the trouble except in accordance with
the code adopted in settling such griev-
ances. Both are brave men and if the
field is resorted to as the only way OF
settling the matter it is believed each will
face his foe gamely.

Grand Haven, Mich, Oct 14.-Ex-
United States Senator Thomas W. Fer

paralysis.
Senator Ferry had been in splendid
health excepting attacks of sudden dir
ziness until three days ago, when he
took to his bed. Last evening he was
given hypodermic injection. The fam

BISHOP KEANE's SUCCESSOR.
A Priest, Not Bishop, to be Made Rec
tor of tho University.

New York, Oct. 14.-According to
Bishop Farley, who was seen at the resi-
dence of Archbishop Corrigan today, it
can be officially stated that the. successor
to Bishop Keane as rector of the Catho-
lie university at Washington will be a
priest and not bishop. Bishop Farley
was positive in his announcement and
additional weight is lent to it from the
fact that he is one Of the directors of the
university.
The announcement, too, will set away
some of the calculations as to Bishop
Keane's successor made by the Catholic
public both lay and clerical. Among
many it asapparently a foregone conclu-
sion that Bishop Keane would have a
successor in Bishop Spaulding of Peoria.
They based their calculations on the fact
that, Bishop Spaulding and Miss Mary
Gwendolin Caldwell, the most prominent
beneficiary of the university, are very
close friends and that her first gift of
100000 to the university was made with
the tacit understanding that Bishop
Spaulding should be the rector.

BANDITS RIFLE MAIL.
Two Robbers in Utah Open Every
Registered Pouch Found in
the Car.

Ogden, Utah, Oct. 1.-THE Union Pa
ciic fast mail train was held up near
Uintah this morning. No passengers
were molested, the robbers confling
operations to the mails and express cars.
The robbers, two in number, boarded
the train at Paterson, small station in
the heart of Weber canyon. The rob
bers surprised the engineer by suddenly
appearing from behind the tank and COW
ering him with gun. They ordered the
fireman to cover his head with a cotton
sack which they handed. him. The en-
gineer was ordered to stop the train and
told to indicate the express car, which be
did. While the attention of the robbers
was distracted the engineer ran away
and escaped to Uintah, where Supt.
O'Neil was notified. Meanwhile the bag
gage and express cars were uncoupled
by the robbers and run ahead of the
train a few hunderd yards. Both cars
were broken open. The robbers failed to
open the safe in the express car. The
railway officials say all the booty Sc
cured was few mailbags, the value of
their contents being unknown. A spe-
cial train in charge of Supt. O'Neil may
catch the robbers. as the latter cannot
get out Of the canyon except by the
eastern route, and all station agents have
been notified and are awaiting the APP
pearance of the bandits.
Chicago, Ill. Oct. 14.-The Union Pa
cifc fast mail train held up at Uintah,
Utah, this morning was carrying the
Chicago and other Eastern mail from the
coast, due in Chicago tomorrow morn
ing. The fast mail carries the registered
mail from the coast and such mail is
correspondence between banks enclosing
exchanges and remittances and always
a good proportion of cash, the loss is
supposed by Mr.. Tory, superintendent of
the Railway Mail service, to be of conse-
Quence.

SPAIN WOULD YIELD.
If the Rebellion is Not Crushed Be-
fore March the Island
will be Freed.

New York, Oct ia special to the
Herald from Cadiz, Spain, says: ut is
an open secret that if Spain has not
put down the instruction in Cuba by
the LIST of next March it is the inten-
ton of the government to give up the
struggle and let the island go.
''It is said that the policy is being
adopted of exaggerating the magnitude
of the trouble in the Philippine islands
with a view of letting Cuba 60"
w. G. Foster, the manager of the
Eastern Telegraph company here, speak
ing of the situation. said: "There is no
question that the government is trying
to use Philippine troubles to detract the
peoples attention from Cuba. There is
no doubt that Spain intends to do her ut
most to crush the Cuban instruction be-
tween now and March. Failing in that,
/ am informed she will give UP the
struggle.
San important issue is the fact that
Cuba has a debt of S500,0 100000 and that
if Spain puts down the insurrection
Cuba will have to pay that debt, whereas
if Cuba wins the payment OF the debt
will fall on Spain, who contracted it on
behalf of Cuba.
NATURALLY the planters who have been
driven from their half-ruined plantations,
however loyal they may appear to be to
Spain, really want to see the Cubans sue
coed as in that case they would not be
taxed by Spain to pay the interest of the
debt and then could start again under
more favorable auspices.
1.-THE Philippine islands comprise 49,
900 square miles as against $4,000 for Gu
ba. In point of population the Philippines
have 100000 as against a population Of
2.276,O00 for Cuba and Porto Rico COM

Long sought to have his $50 pension re-

BUTTER AND EGG ASSOCIATION.
Farmers Want Protection from Commits
sion Men.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 15.-The Butter,
Egg and Poultry association is the name
of an organization formed here today.
The meeting was called by the officers
of a number of local societies in Michi-
gan, Iowa, Ohio, Indiana and Nebras-
ka. Only shippers of the farm products
named in the title are to be admitted.
Clarence J. Chandler of Chelsea,
Mich, in calling the convention of prob
ably sixty shippers together, said there
was need for an organization in order
to protect the dealer from the commits
sion men. He said there was no as
surance that shippers would get market
quoted prices because the commission
men made no efforts to protect the ship
pers and left them practically at the
mercy of the BUYERS
