HOW DID CAMPBELL FALLs
Mysterious Casualty in a WaDasna
Street Block.

Frank Campbell, young married
man living at 525 Marion street, was
found lying unconscious in pool Of
blood at the foot of the second floor
staircase Of the bio * at 43O Wabasha
street shortly befOnes midnight last
evening. The man had an ugly cash
under his chin. besides a cut under the
right eye and several Commissions about
the head. It is thought that he re-
ceived the injuries by failing down the
stairs, but this is mere sur1nise as
the affair was not investigated by the
rolice. After DR.. Brimhan had re-
stored the young man to conscious
ness, he was removed to his home,
where he was attended, by DR.. Bacon.
Ii w6s necessa " II sew up the wound
under the chin, but Dr. Bacon stated
CampbelPs injuries to be not serious.
Several persons living in the block
state that Campbell had been seen
walking about the second floor Of the
building early l.. the 'v-:.lns. but rn
one appears to have heard him fall
down the thirty feet of stairway from
the third floor. He was first discover
ed lying fiat upon his face by woman
ledger, who called the police. The
woman appeared to KNOW Campbell
and asked him if he had succeeded In
reaching her room before he was hurt,
and to this the man replied IN the
Negative. Some time after the acci-
dent it was stated that CampbelPs wife
had been up in the block during the
evening, it is said, looking for her hus-
band. She was not to he found when
Campbell was discovered. The theory
is advanced by some hat Campbell
was probably thrown down the stairs,
though he himself said nothing about
how he had received his injuries. On
the other hand, it is said that the
young man was under the influence Of
liquor and fell by accident through
stumbling at the top Of the stairs.

TWO BANK DECISIONS
Handed Down by the United States
Court at New York.


Court at New York.
NEW YORK, May 15.-Decisions In
two suits of interest to banks and other
by Judge Wheeler in the United States
circuit court today. The first was
brought by Kent K Hayden, receiver Of
the Capitol National bank, of Lincoln,
Neb., against the Chemical National
bank Of this city. The former had an
account of remittances and drafts with
the latter, which varied from day to
day. On Jan. 10, 1898, the account on
the books of the Chemical National
overdrawn $84,4S6. On that day and
for several days after, the Chemical
National bank received remittances
from various other banks in the West,
for the credit of the Capitol National
bank. On Jan. %, the bank examiner
took possession of the Capitol National
bank, and it went into liquidation. On
Jan. %, the Chemical National bank
received more remittances, all dated
before Jan. %. These were cred1ted to
the Capitol National bank. But Re
ceiver Hayden sued to recover the
amounts Of the remittances received on
Jan. % and "a, as contrary to the ma
tional statute touching the case.
Judge Wheeler dismissed the bill of COM
plant holding that the transfers were COM
plete when the remittances were mailed to
the defendant.
Tn second decision was in the action Of
Receiver Hayden against George g. Williams,
president Of the Chemical National bank,
and John B. Dodd Mr.. Williams owned fifty
shares of Capitol National bank stock. re-
ceiving dividends upon them until January,
1892, when he transferred them to Dodd.
When the bank became insolvent. Mr.. Will
Jams paid an assessment of $4,000 made by
the comptroller Of the currency. Receiver
Hayden sued to recover back the dividends
as having been made from the capital stock
Of the bank. Judge Wheeler decides that Re-
ceiwer Hayden is entitled to decree against
Mr. Williams for S., $50 and against both de-
PENDANTS for $500 more.

JAMES NELL, THE ACTORS, MONO.
LOGUE ON THE USE OF BICY-
Gle LAMPS.
TRIED CYCLING WITHOUT ONE,
WHICH FURNISHES OCCASION La
TER FOR HIS. APPEARANCE AT
CENTRAL.
SPOKE THERE WITH MUCH vrG0R,
Compelled to Put Up Money for
Bail.

James Neill, the actor, was arrested
last evening on the charge Of violat-
ing the new bicycle ordinance requir-
ing riders to provide their wheels with
lanterns. Mr.. Neilps bicycle was not
adorned with a lantern, and, further
more, the owner says 1t never will be.
He said, also, when taken to the CEN
trail station, that the ordinance seek
ing to compel wheelmen to burden
their bicycles with headlights was,
perhaps, as mate, senseless and unjust
a bit of municipal legislation as any
he had ever met. Mr.. Neill was not
playing to the matinee girls and meant
every word he said. He had Travelled
a little, he declared, during his theatre
cal career, and had gratified his passion
for cycling In cities compared with
which he thought st. Paul was
mere logging camp, and the idea of
arresting man on street lighted by
half a dozen arc lamps because he
hadn't a sickly flame spluttering from
the fork of his wheel was ridiculous.
AS matter of fact, Mr.. Neill declared
it the duty of a municipality to SO light
it's streets that it would be unnecessary
for bicycle riders to carry lanterns to
warn pedestrians Of their approach.
However, If electric lights are not
strung every ten feet along the princi-
pal streets, pedestrians ought to be re-
quired to carry miners lamps on their
hats to keep the bicyclists from run
ming into them.
An ordinance containing such a pro-
vision, Mr. NELL thought, would stack
up we'll with the local measure govern
ing bicycle riding. A bicycle was a
valuable piece Of property, Mr.. Neill
declared, and the anatomy Of wheel
men was just as SUSCEPTIBLE to breakage
as that of pedestrians. and In view
of the likelihood of damage to the one
and pain to the other, it was unneces-
sary to place a hedge of restrictions
about bicyclists, as they were every
bit as anxious to avoid collisions as the
out of date individuals who preferred
walking to riding a wheel.
Mr.. NeilPs enunciation was perfect
and his emphatic declarations were
received with acclaim by Officer
O'Neill, who had made the arrest, and
the attaches of the station who
listened to Mr.. Neill, but instead of an
encore or a bouquet Of roses, he was
required to leave $40 at the municipal
box Office to insure his appearance in
police court tomorrow before being
allowed to resume his interrupted jour-
ney.
Mr.. Neill had not decided last cven-
ing whether or not If he was fined for
his alleged offense, he would test the
validity Of the ridiculous ordinance.

MORE BANKINGe LAW.
Judge Otis Called Upon to Decide a
Nice Point.

Nice Point.
An important question was submit
ted to Judge Otis yesterday at special
term in the matter of enforcing the
liability Of the stockholders of the
Bank Of Minnesota. The question Is.
who has the right to bring an action
for this purpose, the creditors or the
receivers The stockholders contend
that the receivers alone have this right.
The matter comes before the court
in consequence of the suit brought by
Johanna Anderson against the stock
holders of the Bank Of Minnesota to
enforce the double liability rule. The
stockholders have demurred to the
complaint on the ground that under the
banking act of 1895 only the receivers
Of the bank can bring such an action.
On the other hand, the plaintiff con-
tends, first, that the act Of 1895 Is not
applicable to the Bank Of Minnesota.
but applies only to banks Of discount
and Deposit and not to banks of is
sue," such as the Bank Minnesota
under the law allowing state banks to
issue notes. Secondly, the plaintiff con-
tends that, even If the act Of 1895 does
give the receivers Of a bank the right
to bring an action to enforce the liza
bility of stockholders, it does not in
express terms give them the exclusive
right to bring such an action, and that
therefore any creditor can maintain an
action Of this character.
Judge Otis has already announced
from the bench his opinion that it
the act Of 1895 applies to the Bank Of
Minnesota, then it gives the receivers
the exclusive right to bring the action.
In case the court should sustain the
demurrer of the stockholders, that is,
should it decide that none but the re-
ceivers can maintain the action in ques-
ton, then the application Of the receiv-
ers for an order establishing the liabil
ity Of the stockholders will be acted
upon. The receivers made such appli-
cation Yesterday.

date vessels of thirty feet draught In

eminent recently sent a commission
to Houston to investigate the feaslbll-
ity of a deeper channel. The commits
sion has returned a favorable report
to congress and the people of Houston
are expecting an appropriation with
which to conduct the work. This Will
make Houston a very important ship

CIVIL ONLY IN NAME.
Spells Act Signed by the GovernoH
of New York.

ALBANY N. Y, May 15.-Gov Black today
signed the civil service bill prepared under
his direction late in the legislative SESSION. 1t
is claimed by members Of the Civil Service
Reform association that the bill practically
abrogates the civil service law. In memoran-
dunn attached to the bill Gov. Black says that
he was reluctant to disagree with the con-
illusions of many wise and fair minded men,
who opposed the measure He adds:
1.-THE bill has also been savagely attacked
by those who are neither wise fair
minded. These attacks proceed from sources
in which the public has ceased to confde.
For this latter class 1 have no respect. 1t is
composed mainly of the disappointed and un-,
successful, aided now ana then by some de-
crepit figure, who having once enjoyed the
rewards and betrayed the confidence OF his
party, Is now anxious to explain and justify
that betrayal"
The governor says further: "The people of
this country recently witnessed the wholesale
removal Of trusted officials in government
employ and the filing Of their places with
favored friends of different political faith.
This maneuver was followed by putting the
places thus filed under the protection Of civil
service rules. The outrage was nicknamed
civil service REFORM, and has been praised
by a historical assailant of the bill. 1t was
not reform but rank party politics, under a
pretense meant to deceive.

LIVED IN ST. PAUL.
Theo. Hartman Sent to the WiscOn-
sin State Prison.

Theo Hartman, of this city, was
sentenced at Wausau, Wis, yesterday, to one
year In the Waupun prison for illegal banking.
Hartman's case lis a peculiarly sad one. The
evidence showed that up to 1889 his reputa-
ton for integrity was good, and he had ac-
cumuIated property worth fully $1,000. That
year he fell in with Joseph Brucker, wild
eyed real estate man, who ran a private bank
at Medford, and induced to move from
Milwaukee to Medford, Taylor county, and go
into partnership with Brucker One Herman
Matt, the book keeper and confidential man,
aided Brucker in pulling the wool over Hart
mans eyes,
The outcome was that about two years later
Brucker slid out of the bank and other enter
prises with which he had succeeded in sad
ding Hartman, leaving Matt to continue as
Hartman's evil genius. When Brucker left
he was owing the concern $4,000, which he
left unsecured personal notes to cover. Other
debts accumulated, and when the crash of
1893 came the Commercial bank of Milwaukee,
which had been bolstering up the credit of
Hartman's private bank, as well as the Med
ford Excelsior company, of which Hartman
was president and general manager, closed its
doors.
The specific charge against Hartman was
that he accepted deposit Of $2675 from an
old German only twenty-four days before the
failure, knowing that his bank was inso1vent.
Since the failure Hartman has been dependent
on his days work for a living for his family,
and about a year later he moved to St. Paul.
