GLOBE SAVINGS BANK CLOSES.
Chicago Concern Is Forced to Give Up

Chicago Concern Is Forced to Give Up
the Struggle for Existence.
The Globe Savings Bank of Chicago
suspended Monday morning. A notice on
the doors announced that the bank was IN
The hands of the Chicago Title and Trust
Company, assignee. 1t has been known
In Chicago financial circles for some time
past that the bank was having any thing
but smooth sailing. 1t was organized
Dec. "a, 1890, and has therefore expert
enced but two good years in its existence.
John P. Altgeld was its first vice-presi-
dent at that time, but he resigned. For
the last five years it has had decidedly
hard time, passing through two panlcs
safely by availing itself of the time clause
in the payment of savings accounts, Wnich
formed the bulk of the deposits The bank
has a capital stock of 100000, which IS
held in the ratio of three-ffths in the
West and the balance in the East. Under
the laws of the State the stockholders are
liable for an additional amount equal 10
the face value of the stock held IN their
names. This practically makes guar
antee fund of 100000, provided it can
be collected from the stockholders. Inc
State Auditor at a recent examination OF
the banks affairs ordered an assessment
of so per cent on the stockholders, in or
der to raise a surplus, and notices of this
assessment were sent out on the 18th OF
March. This becoming known, run was
started and the end hastened.> The last
statement to the Auditor showed $3l3,OOO
savings and $4,000 individual deposits.
The suspension created no sensation, but
there were few angry depositors around
the bank, who had made deposits just be-
fore noon on Saturday.

ONE DAY OF DISTRESS
HOWLlNG GALE MAKES CHI
CAGOANS MISERABLE.
Much Damage Done, and a Fierce
Fire Threatens More-Forces of the
Moslcm Ruler Grapple with the
Armies of King George of Greece.
Wind on a Rampage.

A furious gale swept across Chicago
Sunday from dawn to shutdown, and made
the day a season of fires, accidents and
wholesale distress. Plate glass windows
were blown in, signs were wrenched off
and hurled into streets, bill boards were
fattened,, and the eyes of hundreds of
pedestrians were filled with what felt like
pieces of paving stone and telegraph pole
splinters The wind blew with a velocity
of sixty-eight miles an hour Fires added
their share to the destruction. One blaze
at Stony Island avenue and 10Th street,
driven by the wind, burned up property
to the amount of $136,OOO, injured five
firemen, and startled the entire district.
Three men were seriously injured by the
falling of great signboard from the
south end of Siegel, Cooper 4 Co.'S build
ing. The life saving crews were called
upon once and again to rescue boats from
sinking. Druggists anG oculists were in
demand on behalf of eyes burdened with
bits of sand. Many buildings, considered
substantial, rocked perceptibly in the gale.
Charles Hammer, q towerman, was buried
in the debris of railroad tower house.
He was found by the police with his skull
fractured and unconscious from other Sc
rious injuries.

Caught in the Storm.

A bowling gale swept, Lake Michigan
Thursday night and Friday. Scores of
steam and sailing vessels were out. Some
rode out the storm; some made harbor at
great peril The schooner l.. M. Forest
went on the beach, and the steamer Frank
Woods, of the Graham & Morton line,
Milwaukee to Benton Harbor, had not re-
ported twenty-four hours after sailing.
She should have made the trip in ten
hours. She carried sixteen men, and
grave fears were entertained that she had
met the Chicora's fate, but she reported
at Chicago 40 hours over due.

NEW PLAN IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Rubbish Gathered by Pupils to C1othe
the Poor Children.

the Poor Sh1Idrens
Consul German, in report to the State
Department from Zurich, in regard to
plan recently introduced in the public
schools of several European cities, says:
In Brussels the children attending public
schools were requested by their teachers
to gather up, on their way to and from
the school, all such apparently valueless
objects as old metallic bottle caps, tin
foil, tin cans, paint tubes, refuse metal,
etc, and deliver their collection daily to
their respective teachers. In the period
from Jan. 1 to Oct. l, 1895, or within
eight months the following amounts were
collected: Tin foil, 1925 pounds; old
paint tubes, 22O pounds; bottle capsules,
ALB pounds, scraps of metal, 1,221
pounds; total, 7,7S1 pounds. This appar-
ent rubbish was disposed of and the pro-
ceeds applied so as to completely clothe
500 poor children and send ninety sick
ones to recuperation colonies, and there
still remained quite balance, which was
distributed among the poor sick of the
city.

If they comply the department very soon
will send representatives of the bureau Of

which the Governors have been asked to
designate as particularly subject to an
outbreak, and the result of the investiga-
ton and treatment will be reported in

to cooperate, others will be asked so that
satisfactory experiment can be made.

MURDER BY BANDITS.
Cashier of New Hampshire Bank
Brutality Slain.

While resisting the entry of two des-
perate and determined robbers and during
a heroic but futile struggle to protect
100000 or more in money and securities
in the compartments of the open vault OF
the Great Falls National Bank of Somers-
worth, n. H., Friday afternoon, Cashier
Joseph A. Stickney was struck down and
brutally murdered. After killing Stick
ney the murderers ransacked the vault
and fed with all the cash it contained,
with the exception of a S. gold piece.
About $4,1OO was taken. The robbers,
after knocking Stickney down with a
blackjack, cut his throat. The sum of
100000 in bonds of the United States,
kept in one of the drawers of the big
vault and which the robbers examined
hastily, was not taken. Neither was any
of the negotiable paper and securities of
the bank-in fact, nothing is missing ex-
cept the cash.

a young woman off the car by force when

OPEN WAR DECLARED.
Greeks and Turks Meet in Deadly
Conflict.

The forces Of Greece and Turkey have
met in relentless and bloody conflict: The
boom of cannon and rattle of musketry
are heard along the entire frontier. Many
thousands of men engaged Saturday and
Sunday in the awful contest and fought
like demons. The fiercest battle occurred
at AIilouna Pass, where both sides lost
heavily. Three Greek officers of high
rank are among the killed, but Turkish
battery was taken by the Greeks. Diplo-
matte relations between the two nations
are formally and completely severed. The
Greek gunboats bombarded and reduced
the forts Prevesa, and King Georges
troops held their own on land. Greek
subjects at Constantinople will probably
find safety at the American legation.
Neither Greece nor Turkey actually de-
clared war; but the Sultan officially an
nounced that "war had broken out" thus
seeking to throw the blame for actual
commencement of hostilities upon the
