With regard to the causes of the disas-

fact that in the supplying Of the provis-

customary Russian fraud and cheating.

Charleston, S. c., June D.-The break
ing of the German-American Savings
Bank of this city, for which Capt. James
f. Redding was appointed receiver in the
United States court last night, was the
talk of the town to-day. There are a
great many rumors afloat regarding the
causes which brought about the collapse
of the institution, and there seems to be
little doubt that men officially connected
with the bank will be found by the invest
igauon now in progress, to be obligated
TO it for money borrowed. 1t is against
the statutes of South Carolina for an
officer of a bank to borrow money from
it. Three of the directors of the bank
Messrs. Symons, Hesse and Norris have
issued call for a meeting of the stock
holders for the purpose of recognizing
the institution.
j. Fred Lilienthal, formerly president of
the institution and now a director of it
made an assignment to-day to Thomas
Pinckney, Jr. 1t is said on all sides that
before the affairs of the bank are wound
up there will be some sensational devel-
opments in connection with the causes
which brought about its downfall.

heart, death resulting instantly.
He deliberately wiped the bloody
knife on his trousers, when arrest
ed. The public expected he would
be sent to the gallows.
