TACOMA BANK FAILS.
It Dealt i'll City Securities and the
Court Declared Them Invalid.

Court Declared Them Invalid.
Tacoma, Wn., June 3O.-The Union
Savings Bank Trust company has clos
ed its doors and gone into the hands of
a receiver as a direct result of recent
supreme court decisions declaring a
large amount of city warrants to be il
legal.
Judge Williamson appointed Attorney
Charles Richardson to take charge of
the assets of the concern.
The bank was organized in February.
1891, with the late Gen. J. W. Sprague
as president. Chester Thorne is vice
president and A. r. Nichols cashier, the
latter having been the active manager
of the bank since it began business. The
capital stock is 100000. The local de-
pOsitS are small, the bank having been
engaged chiefly in the purchase of Sc
curitieS of cities, counties, towns and
school districts through the northwest
1t owns $155,O00 of Tacoma general fund
warrants and $4,000 of city hall fund
warrants, the validity of which is now
thrown into question by the supreme
court decision handed down Friday.
The bank will now ask for a rehear-
ing in the supreme court and will also
sue the city for moneys paid for the
warrants. In view of the supreme court
decision a receivership was considered
adViSa Bile to protect all interests
Cashier Nichols says that every de-
positor will be paid in full when the
warrants are realized upon, as he has
no doubt they will be eventually. and
the stockholders should receive the full
value of their stock.

AMONG RAILROAD MEN.
Santa Fe to Increase Their
Shop Pay Roll.
More Hours for the Men in the
Car Department.
Over $4,000 Per Month Increase-All
First Glass Coaches on the
System to Be Lighted by
Electricity.

An II per cent increase in the pay
rolls of the Santa Fe shop men in this
city will result by a change in the
working hours at the shops, which be
comes effective tomorrow. The increase
will amount to something over $4,000
per month.
At present the employees of the loco
motive department OF the shops are
working ten hours a day and five days
per week, and the employees of the car
department eight hours day and five
days per week. Commencing tomorrow
the working time in the locomotive de-
partment will be reduced and in the
car department the time will be in
creased The locomotive department
employees will work nine hours a day
and five days per week, and the car de-
paTtment employees ten hours day and
five and one-half days week.
Instead of working from Z o'clock in
the morning up to o'clock in the even
ing the employees of the locomotive de-
partment will after tomorrow COM
mence at o'clock and work until 5
o'clock. The employees of the car de-
partment will commence at o'clock in
the morning instead Of o'clock and
work up to o'clock in the evening in
stead of 5 o'clock, or hVe days of the
week, and on Saturday they will work
from Z o'clock in the morning up to II
o'clock noon.
When the working time was inct eas-
ed some time ago in the locomotive de-
partnent of the shops there was a large
number of locomotives in need of re-
pairs and Overhauling. The bulk of this
work has been completed, and the extra
time is to be devoted to the repair of
cars. Hence the decrease of time in
the locomotive department and the in
crease of time in the car department.
At present there are about 1850 men
employed at the Santa Fe shops in this

ROCK ISLAND AND SANTA FE
To Rebuild Their Line Between Atch-
ison and nashville.

Atchison, June BON N. Wells, a
Santa Fe surveyor of Chanute, and a
party of assistants arrived in Atchison
today to make a survey for the COM
pany between Atchison and Rushville
Mr.. Wells will make a very extensive
survey between East Atchison and
Nashville, including the old right of
way and a proposed new right of way,
and will also take soundings of the river
near the bridge. He stated when seen
by a reporter that he knew nothing of
the Santa FEES plans. It is evident
however, that the company is cSntem-
plating rebuilding its lines between
East Atchison and RushviIle, and the
Rock Island is undoubtedly hand in
glove with the road, as the two lines
occupied the same right of way before
being washed out

The third game of the series between the
Washingtons and Baltimores win be played
this afternoon, with Mercer in the box for
the locals. and perhaps Maui in the same
position for the visitors. AS this is ladies'
day and the last opportunity of seeing the
Orioles at National Park this season, q
good attendance is expected.
The change of players in yesterdays
game proved a good one. DeMont had six
chances at second and got them all, and
with little practice will prove all right
Wrigley at short had ten chances and
slipped up on but one. These boys should
work well together.
BY winning yesterdays game and the
Circinnatis not playing. the Orioles jumped
into second place. IT Is to be seen whether
the Baltimore pitchers can now stand the
hot pace that they will be compelled to go
from now to the end OF the season. Other
wise the club is strictly all right and fit as
