Detroit, Mich, Dec. 23.-Frank Ash

he opened the door the caller thrust a

ball passing through the body and caus-

against Ashley was mostly circumstan-

was his second trial, the jury disagree

Fewer Miles of Track Laid Than for
Twenty Years.
Chicago, Dec. 23.-The annual state
ment of railroad construction to be pub
lished by the Railway Age this week
will show that during 1896 only 1902
miles of lines were built in the United
States, the smallest mileage in any year
since 1875. The number of lines on
which this track was laid is 1853, IL less
than the number of new lines added in
the previous year. Track was laid in
IS of the 40 states and territories. Cali
fornia had 1877 miles On eight lines, Lou
isiana 1874 miles on five lines, Michigan
LAG miles on IL lines, Georgia 81 miles
on Ia lines, Pennsylvania 90 miles on IS
lines, Wisconsin Sc miles on seven lines
and Texas SO miles on eight lines. Many
railway enterprises We're under way
early in the year which would have
added hundreds of miles of track, but
were stopped by the financial agita-
tion preceding election. The building
of fully $500 miles would have been the
record for 1896 but for the political un-
certainty

The report was current that the loans
of $500,00O each TO Robert Berger and
George A. Weiss, both sons-in-laws OF
President Schneider, of the failed ma
tional bank, were unsecured. 1t was
said that the Weiss loan is secured by
American Brewing company bonds, MIR.

but none of the bank directors could
be found who had seen such bonds. The

Iowa Banks Temporarily Embarrassed.
Des Moines, Ia, Dec. 23.-Des Moines
banks have been called to the aid of
numerous country banking customers
who were embarrassed by the failure of
the National Bank of Illinois. The Chi
cago institution had a large number
of accounts with Iowa banks, scattered
all over the state. When it closed they
feared their drafts on it would not be
paid, and began wiring Des Noines
bankers to intervene with their Chicago
correspondents and arrange to care for
the paper of country institutions until
they could make new arrangements in
Chicago. The indications are that Iowa
banks will in no cases be injured be-
You'd temporary embarrassment of this
kind, but the number that have made
such requests is several score. No Des
MIoines banks are involved, but business
circles are very uncomfortable as a re-
suit of the troubles in Chicago.
Two st. Paul Banks Close.
st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 23.-State Bank
Examiner Kenyon on Tuesday took pos
session of the Bank of Minnesota, and as
a result of the closing of this bank the
Union Stockyards bank also closed. The
Bank of NIinnesota's capital was $4,000
600 and it was considered one of the
strongest i'll the west. The Bank OF
Minnesota was the Oldest bank in St.
& Co. in 1859.
The reason given by the bank o1hcers
for the failure was the general strin-
gency of the times and difficulty in maxi
ing collections. The bank has been the
depository for the city treasury of st.
Paul, and at present carries $4,000 de-
posts of the city's funds. The state
also is large depositor in the bank,
covered by heavy bonds, and is fully
protected.
1t was stated at the Bank of Min
1,esota that depositors would not lose
and that arrangements would probably
be made to carry on the banks bust
ness. This may be done through the
efforts of the stockholders, all of whom
are wealthy men, and who are reported
as willing to advance the funds neces
sary to put the institution on a sound
basis. The failure was caused by the
banks inability to make collections on
which it had depended to meet obliga
tions due at this time. The average de-
posts of the Stockyards Union bank OF
South ST. Paul are $95, 1000; the capital
$4,000, and the average loans and dis.
counts, 100000.

KILLED HIS SISTER.
A Chicago Peddler brushes Her Skull
with a Baseball Bat.

Chicago, Dec. 23.-Driven mad by
peace bonds which have been held over
him since last October, John Ryan, a
peddler living at As Lowell place, muir
dered his sister, Katherine Ryan, Tues
day evening by crushing her skull with
baseball bat, and intended to end his
own life in Lake Michigan. He was ar
rested, however, as he was leaving the
scene of his crime, and the police are of
the opinion that he is insane. When the
officers reached the flat where Ryan and
his sister lived they found the murdered
woman lying upon the floor in pool
of blood and the room in flames. Dur
ing the struggle the stove had been
overturned and the department was
called out to eXtinguish the blaze.
Neither Ryan nor his victim had ever
been married. Last October he quar-
relied with other tenants in the building
and was placed under peace bonds. The
disgrace he has felt it is thought af-
fected his mind.
