BANKS DROP LIKE NINE PINS.
THREE MORE FAILURES CAUSED
BY THE FURRY IN THE WEST.

The Minnesota Savings Bank Could
Not Save Itself Even by the Sixty
Day RuIe-Exeitement Caused in
Newport, Ky, by the Closing of the
National Bank-DePCsitOrs Are
Mad and Indulge in Ugly TaIk-'A
Failure at Louisville.
ST. Paul, Mimi, Jan. S.-The Minnesota
Savings Bank succumbed to-day to the
effect OF the recent furry in bank affairs.
Its doors were closed and deed of as
signment filed in court, William Bicket,
Sr., vice president of the defunct Allie
mania Bank being named as assignee.
He is the father of William Bicket Jr.,
president of the bank.
An affidavit was also filed stating the
assets would realize about $25OOOO, and
the liabilities were about $23000
When the failures of banks in the Twin
Cities began the Minnesota took advant-
age of the sixty day notice rule, but the
Withdrawals were so heavy that 1T was un-
able to raise enough cash to meet all de-
mands and the assignment was decided
upon as the best step to take in the inter
ests of all depositors.
The bank has on deposit $4,000 of the st.
Paul city funds and $4,000 belonging to
Ramsay county. 1t never had any state
deposits. The bank was Incorporated in
| 1868 as the Union Savings Bank of Roches-
ter, Mimi. by Senator Daniels of that
city and his friends, who operated it as
an adjunct of the Union National Bank
of Rochester. When the legislature passed
a law in 1889 which allowed the transfer
| of such charters to other cities than where
organized, the Union Bank was purchased
| by W. F. Bieket and associates, and it's
name anG location changed.
The assignee was the first president,
after the banks removal to this city, and
since his retirement from it's active man
| agement he has been familiar with its af-
| fairs Depositors had confidence in the
| institution on account Of his nominal con-
! nection Herewith.

A CURTAILED "RUMP."
Disaffected Republicans I'm Delaware
Indulge in a Kick.

Dover, Del, Jan. 1s.-Robert !.
Hanley, union republican (an Addicks
mani, a member of the state Senate. this
afternoon organized a trump Senate" by
swearing in ]. Frank Alice, union repub-
lican (an Addicks mani, who is alleged
to have been counted out in Kent county,
and Thomas Curry of Sussex county. who
was defeated.
This is preliminary to the rump election
of ]. Edward Addicks as United States
senator Where the other two senators
necessary to form quorum of the rump
House and Senate are to come from is not
known.
The caucus of the rump general assem-
bly, this evening nominated j. Edward
Addicks for United States senator.
The democrats of the regular general as
sembly did not go into caucus at 8 o'clock
as was agreed to.
The democratic caucus reconvened after
midnight and Gen. r. r. Kenney was NOM
mated for senator on the twenty-sixth
ballot.
The nomination of Kenney is virtually
a victory for the silver men, although his
real attitude on the money question is un-
known He was a member of the demo-
cratic national committee and supported
Bryan. When Bryan visited Delaware he
was entertained at kenney's house.
He was born at Little Creek Hundred,
Sussex county, Sept. 9, 1856; graduated at
Hobert College, New York, in 1877 went
to Texas, taught school there and in Vir-
ginia in 1878, studied law with the late
Chancellor Salisbury, and was admitted
to the bar in 1881; was state librarian in
1888, and adjutant general under Gov.
Biggs in 1857.
Later in the evening the democrats of
the regular assembly went into caucus to
nominate a United States senator, but af-
ter two futile ballots a recess was taken
at midnight. Willard Salisbury was in
the lead, being but seven short of enough
votes to nominate him.

WANTED THEIR MONEY.
DepOsitors in the Newport Bank
Don't Like Promises.

DepOsitors in the Newport Bank
Don't Like Promises.
Cincinnati Jan. 1S-The First National
Bank of Newport KY, did not open it's
door this morning. The news spread rap
idly and soon there was crowd of ex-
cited depositors assembled in front of the
bank, clamoring for an explanation.
The officials sent out word that the bank
was solvent, but had been forced to close
for lack of ready money. Assurances
were offered that no one would lose any
thing. The depositors, however, refused
to be satisfied. Ugly rumors found ex-
preston and the excitement grew still
greater when it became known that Con-
troller of the Currency Eckels and the
national bank examiner of Washington
were to be in Newport to-day. The cap
ital stock of the bank is 100000. John
Trap is president.
The bank will be recognized. The de-
posits are about $4,000, and deposltors
will be paid in full.
Director Charles Spinks says the bank
closed because Of the recklessness of
Cashier Yautzy and Director McCracken.
A late and rather startling development
is that Mr.. John Trapp, ex-sherin of the
county who was elected president of the
bank week ago to succeed DR.. Gunkel,
who preepitately resigned, refused to ac-
cept the Office unless the banks affairs
were thoroughly investigated.
1t seems that c.. w. Nagel, who was
elected to succeed Youtzy as cashier, had
made sufficient investigation himself to
warrant him in warning his friend Trapp
that all was not as it should be. There
fore, the bank has been without presi-
dent for nearly a week.
Every bank in Covington, which ad-
Joins Newport, had to meet a run to-day
as best it could on short notice. Citi-
zens rushed to their places of deposit by
the hundreds as soon as they heard the
news that the First National had not
opened it's doors in the morning, and drew
their savings. Many heavy depositors
were among those on the run.

THEY STAND by ALTGELD.
IIIiIRSis Democrats More Harmonious
Than the Republicans.

Springfield, H.. Jan. 1S-Failing to
nominate a candidate for United States
senator, the republican caucus, after talk
ing two ballots, adjourned until tomorrow
evening. The vote for adjournment stood
"a ayes to 50 nays.
William E. Mason developed the great
est strength but never was nearer than
seventeen votes of the nomination. The
ballot will be taken in the two houses
according to law at noon tomorrow, re-
gardless of the failure of the caucus to
nominate.
The democratic members of the fortieth
general assembly, IN caucus tonight,
unanimously nominated eX-Gov, John P.
Altgeld as their candidate for United
States senator.
The caucus by an overwhelming vote
decided to refuse to listen to nominating
speeches and after the candidates named
had been presented, the first ballot was TAX
en-. 1t resulted: Mason, 46; Lorimer, 80;
Hit, Il; Hopkins, s; Carr, 10; Alerton, /;
Adams, 2; Cannon, TO-
Second ballot; Mason, As; Lorimer, 40;
HIT IS; Hopkins, 6; Carr, 6; Allerton, /;
Adams, /; Cannon, II.
The adjournment of the caucus is con-
ceded to be in the interest of the anti
Mason forces and the prophecy is made
by politicians that Mason's chances have
been materially lessened and that if Lori
mer fails to get together enough of Ma
sons disintegrated forces. Hits, Can
non and Hopkins stock will go up.
The possibility of Gov. Tanners enter
ing the race seems to be materially increas-
ed and the only reason he hesitates, is
said to be that the machine organization
does not want Lieut. Gov. Northcott as
governor. The fight has now reached its
culmina nation, and the excitement is at a
high pitch,

the gunboats Centinella and Relampago
left Manzanillo under orders to ascend the
river and protect the forts. All went we'll
until the gunboats We're opposite a place
called Mango, when the Relampago struck
a torpedo. Instantly there was a terrific
explosion. The hull of the Relampago
was torn open and the vessel went down.
Those on board Of the ship who were un-
injured jumped into the river and swan
for the Centinella.
The Centineila's boats picked up the sur
vivors under a heavy fire from rebels. The
Centinella then returned to Manzanillo.

riously wounded.

Raleigh. N. c., Jan. 1s,-The democrats
and both populist factions held caucuses
tonight. The former adjourned to meet
at $50 o clock in the morning, without hav-
ing named a candidate. 1t is understood
that Col. j. S. Carr of Durham, will be
the choice of the caucus unless some over
ture is received from the Butler populists.
The camp of Buffers followers was
thrown into CONSERVATION by the report
that Dr. Cyrus Thompson. whom they
nominated for senator Friday night, was
advising his friends to vote for Pritch-
ard. This turned out to be true. Butler
was greatly agitated. He went in great
haste to the caucus. 1t was learned after
the caucus adjourned that Thompson was
not Withdrawn, but that it was understood
that Oliver H. Dockery would receive the
populist vote in the legislature tomorrow.
Eighteen Pritchard popuiists met to-
night and resolved to stand firm. These,
with the solid republican vote, will give
Pritchard four votes more than major
ity. At his hour ff'sdv4ssht Dit appears
that the election of Pritchard Is assured.
