THE CLAPP BANK FAILURE
Detectives Vainly Seek the Members
of the Firm.
Indignant on Learning the
Inside History of the Matter.
Grand Larceny Charged.

New York, May 21.-The Herald today
says: Detectives have been for thre days
seeking without success Ozor w. Clapp and
Dwight o. Clapp, brokers, who had an
office at No. 56 New street and who failed
under the firm name of the o. w. Clapp
Company. Creditors say B. p. Stratton,
lawyer for the Clapps, was notified last
Monday night that warrants had been
issued for his clients, and that he agreed
that If the men were not locked up that
night they would surrender themselves
the next day, but instead Of doing SO they
disappeared.
The failure of the Clapp Company startled
Wall street When il was announced six
months ago Schedules then presented
showed that the liabilities were $204, 500
and the assets nominal
In an article published yesterday friends
of the Clapps stated that the failure was
caused by defalcatioD, and that Chris.
T. WaterstUne, thecasher, who disappeared
two years ago with pretty typewriter,
and who was then said to have stolen
about $2oG of the firms money, really stole
$4,000. This tatement made the cred
itors Indignant They said there was moth
lng n the books of the firm or in anyOf the
various statements that had been made to
creditors, or u the testimony, supplement-
airy proceedings or the suit to set aside the
assignment, to indicate that the old de-
falcation amounted to more than few
hundred dollars.
Albert Hass, of No. 21 Bond street, who
preferred the charge OF grand larceny
against the Clapp Bros, believes that the
claim Of defalcation is now made be
cause the Clapps knew that they are
charged with fraud He says it is strange
that such a claim, If true, was not made be
fore.

CAUCUS WRANGlES.
Sunday Was a Busy Day With
the Law Makers.

Sunday was the busiest day that the
law makers will see for some time.
The army Of applicants fol positions
within the gift of the members was on
hand and their opportunities nearly
drove the members out Of their senses
There were at least ten applicants for
each position and the city yesterday
morning Was Uttered with candidates
cards.
The main fight was a triangular
contest between George Bradley OF
Ormsby, Con Ahern and Harry Flan-
merry of Storey. The Storey candi-
dates each had a large Ratchet out
chopping at the other and by Sunday
noon the meat and gore was flying In
Storey. Bradley laid low and took the
benefit of the row and this captured
the Caucus with 16 votes, the balance
being divided up between the Storey
applicants After this fight was dis
posed Of "the programme" was partly
carried out, but another fight was
started and out Of the melee Ormshy
got two more places, Miss Macie Far
rell and Harvey Follet, which all
hands conceded was pretty good for
Ormsby.
In the Senate Caucus things were
easily disposed Of. Each Senator
selected a place and there was Just
about enough to go round by giving
Ormsby a Page. Ormsby and
Washoe, by having no representative
In he Senate, was left out in the cold
to a considerable extent.

Bicycle Law in Mexico.

A bicycle in Mexico must be euuip-
ped with a bell, a metal plate show
ing its license number, and at night a
lantern. The number of wheels in the
capital is increasing rapidly. All
makes are represented, and the very
latest patterns and improvements are
demanded. There are many splendid
bicycle trips TO be made in the valley.
In every direction extend roads that
have paths made smooth by the tread
OF burro and barefoot native, and
while they would offer little induce
ment to a vehicle, furnish a good
track for wheels.

q Belcher reached So cents after the
board, but there was a shading off at
the close. The excitement produced
by the furry was lively, and every
body was asking the reason for the
movement. A number of different
theories were advanced to explain it.
Some said it resulted from mantpula-
ton, and others declared that it was
based on merit in Con. Virginia and
the Brunswick lode.
There was a INT afloat that there
was an improvement in Con. Virginia
but it could not be verified and prob
ably 1t is without foundation. 1t is
likely that the rise was due to the
pinching Of short sellers who had to

furnished some reasons for it, how
ever. There is a width Of 5 feet Of

this development is regarded very
highly by mining men. The bullion
