Three Arrests at lansing.

Three arrests We're made in the defunct
Peoples Savings Bank case at Lansing,
Mich, and more are promised by the pros
ecuting attorney. The persons first APP
pretended are: Charles II. Osband, late
cashier of the bank, and Christian
Breisch ard Charles Bross, directors. Os-
band is charged with making FIVE false
entries in the books of the bank with in
tent to deceive bank officers, the officials
of the State banking department and to
defraud the bank and its depositors. The
law requires that each director shall own
ten shares of the stock Of the bank in
his own name and unpledged in any way.
Directors Broas and Breisch are charged
with having subscribed to this oath at "a
time when all the stock in their names ON
the books of the bank was pledged to 9th
er banks as collateral.
Bankers Accused of Perjury.
I. A. Winstanley and G. j. Frederick,
president and cashier, respectively, of the
defunct New Albany Qnd) Banking
Company, were arrested and taken to
Jeffersonville to answer indictments that

European Manufacturers Not Satisfied
Consul Ridgely, at Geneva, SWltzer-
land, in a report to the State Depart
ment. saws that during the first SIX
months of this year there was consld-
cradle revival of expectations to the
United States, and especially in watch
es. In June there was great anxiety TO
get the goods in before the tariff Dill
went into effect At present, however,
the manufacturers are not satlSned
with the outlook. Exports to this coun-
try are not only falling off, but busl-
ness in general is dull. There have not
been as many American visitors as usu-
al. and those who have been in Switzer-
land have made comparatively small
and insignificant purchases. The small
er the purchases abroad the better Tor
our own country. 1t will not take long
for American tourists abroad to get
into the habit of keeping their money
in their pockets and making their pur-
chases at home. AS rule they Will get
better goods, and have the additional
satisfaction of knowing that they are
spending their money where 1T VIII Go

desperate hghting has occurred be-
tween the Christians and Mohamne-
dams in the island of Crete. The Mus

Canea, and the place is now burning.
The city is in state Of anarchy, and
Christian is safe nowhere. Many
Christians who had locked themselves
in their houses were driven out by the
danes, only to meet death at the
hands of the Turkish soldiers, who
shot them down at sight. A number
Of Christians have succeeded in find
ing refuge in the war ships in the har-
Dor, but the outlook for those still in

ernments.
The dispatch further says that fully
800 persons have been killed in
Canca. Many of them lost their lives
