BROKEN BY A SCARE
Troy National Bank the Victim
Of the Bryanite Panieky
Feeling.

TROY, N. =. Sept. 10, 1Sss-The Ma
tional Bank Of Troy formerly the First
National Bank of this city, closed its
doors this morning, because of a run ON
the bank, and is now in charge Of United
States Bank Examiner Graham. The
banks officers state that it will be able
to pay depositors in full, and from rs
to so cents on the dollar to stockholders.
The capital stock is 100000.
The bank succeeded the First National
Bank in 1883, the latter having been or
ganized in 1863.
The run on the bank began several
days ago, when a prominent citizen fell
dead near the banks door, and the runor
which was circulated that the crowd that
assembled was making a run on the bank
precipitated an actual run.
Daniel Klock, Jr., president of the Ma
tional Bank of Troy, said today that the
depositors of the bank would be paid in
full and that if the assets were proper
ly managed the stockholders would not
suffer loss. He said that the bank was
in better condition than at any time since
1898, and that the closing of the bank
was occasioned solely by the depositors
drawing out their money on account OF
ruInor which had been circulated that
the bank had failed

INDICTMENT OF o0RBETT AND FITz

NEW YORK, Sept. 10. 1Sss.--No one al
the District Attorneys Office today would
admit the fact that an indictment had
been found against Corbett and Fftzsim-
mons for misdemeanor for having agreed
to meet in the prize ring. Judge Fitz-
gerald denied that he had issued a war
rant for the arrest of the men as re-
ported. In fact. he declared, he had no
knowledge of the Indictment. 1t was not,
he said, however, always necessary for
him to sign a warrant after an indictment
vas found. and that the Clerk of the
General Sessions Court sometimes signed
a warrant of arrest
Acting District Attorney Mcintyre also
qenled that he had been before the Grand
jury in the matter, as reported, or mad
collected any evidence in the case He
said the first he knew of the case was
when he heard of it this morning. He
said he did not know whether an indict-
ment had been found or not. Hefhought
the report of the alleged Indictment came
from Police Headquarters
Assistant District Attorney Battle,while
refusing to talk about the Indictment
would not deny that one had been found.

An Italian Emigrant Thought He

| this morning, and floods of musical ltal-
ian f1oated on the air. A ticket scalper
named Emilio Condi, of Philadelphia, mad
been arrested on complaint of fellow
countryman, Antonio Gallo On a charge
OF swindling the latter out of $34 ticket
to sunny Italy. When Condi was ar
rested a huge horse-pistol was found on
him, and an extra charge Of carrying con-
ceated weapons was entered against him.
Through an interpreter both men told
their stories. Gallo said that he had

he purchased ticket from another scalp
er and came to Hoboken today to take
passage. He met Condi here and the
latter offered him a ticket in eehange
for the one he already had. Gallo became
suspicious that Condi intended to fleece
him, and caused the SPECTATORS arrest.

agent for the tickets of seven different

back saying he had secured d cheaper

supposed that they had a monopoly of
the tickets sold on these lines and knew of
no other scalpers in the field against
them. Either the steamship companies
had broken faith with the League or boz
gus tickets were being sold.
Condi was commissioned by the Presi-
dent of the League to investigate He

him to Hoboken; He met Gallo on the
