SOME STARTLING COMPARISONS.

Comparing this list with the corresponding
list in Treasurer Bartley's report for the
biennial period ending November 80, 1894, a
mort marked difference is at once visible.
In the first place the number OF depository
banks has nearly doubled. Two years age
there were twenty-four, while now there
are forty-three. The number CT failed banks
two years ago was two; now there are six.
The total deposits November 80, 1894 were
S627 027 white the total deposits November
30. 1885, were S1.1S2 06S.77. Two years ago
outside OF the $780, in the failed Capital
National bank there were no deposits over
SlG0 600 in any single bank. Now, besides
the $2S6 600 charged TO the Capital National,
there are three deposits, each ranging from
S122 GOO to 5000 600 The massing of the state
deposits in these banks is shown by the fol-
lowing tables, comparing the treasurer's
statements for 1894 and 1896:

A Serious Mistake.
Neil MCGun Drank BIZ
Chloride of Mer-
curry.
He Thought il Was Alcohol.
HIs Chances OF Recovery Are slim
SIC Took About Two Ounces
MctropsIttan LncoDIc-

A painter named Neil McGun, employed
at William MeNab's paint shop on Sixth
street, lies very seriously i'll from the
effects OF doi OF bichloride of mercury,
which he took this morning mistaking il
for bottle of alcohol. Thedose he took
must have been nearly two ounces, which
is enough to kill forty horses.
McGun had been drinking some and was
in the paint shop looking for alcohol TO
uuench his desire. BY mistake he took
che mercurlc bichloride bottle and smelled
IL. There is a certain amount ofliquor in
this solution and the smell must have
deceived him, for he took big dose OF
IL. The solution is kept for use IN mix
ing paints. the same as alchohol, and the
two solutions were kept side by side.
After Mr. McGun took the dose he COM
planned OF feeling sick and had great pain.
The pain aroused him from the stupor
occasioned by the excessive use OF intox.
Icants and he remembered that he had
taken the drink from the wrong bottle. |
Dr. McRae was sum moned and anR sthe- |
tics were administered TO the man, who !
was by this time suffering terrible pain.
McGun was resting well at noon, but !
his chances OF recovery are not AIRY too
good The poison taken il one of the
most dangerous and il remained inside
OF him nearly hall an hour, literally burn
ing his inside. NJ Gun is a good painter,
but his taste for liquor sometimes gets
the better OF him and it was while under
the influence that he made the mistake
which may cost him his life.
DIR. McRae said this morning that
McGun's case was serious one and he
would consider it indeed fortunate If he
recovered. McGun suffers awful pain and
It will take at least week before he can
be relieved if he continues to improve.
