made it a part of his business to have
his insurance certificate with the
Knights Of Honor for $1,000. changed
SO that it would be paid to his wife in
stead of his children, in event of his
death. This action on the part of Hol-
land would indicate that he had con-
sidered the matter of suicide for some
time previous.

When discovered the flames filed the

much Of which was very valuable, was

ground, but an attempt to get a stream
from the fire-plug at Fourth and S

ten minutes elapsed before a line could

broken through the roof before q
stream was finally turned on. The

untenanted, being left almost intact.
The building. it is understood. was

Has Commenced Them Against the
Banks and the Union Building

law and bylaw 10 of the association, and
Of their duties as directors. did divide.
withdraw and pay to some of the stock
holders Of the association S1G1 600 OF
the capital stock; that such payment
I was not made from the surplus profits
arising from its business; that no meet
/ ing OF the stockholders was convened to
consider the matter of such division and
payment, nor did they assent to it: that
there was not sufficient capital in the
treasury of the association to authorize
such payment, and that there was at
the time of said payment only $0,41G So
Of money in the treasury; that the as
sociatiOn was at that time indebted to
the amount of 5000. and that it's as
sets did not equal it's liabilities, all of
which facts were known to the defend
ants. He therefore demands judgment
against them for Sl61. 900 with inter
est from February %, 1896.
\ second suit is against Albert Elkus
and alleges that he was at the time OF
the payment of the $161 Geo the owner
of fifty shares of stock Of the sixth

$lG1, 600 being borrowed for that pur-
pose. The suit is for the return of the
money and interest from February 20,
1896.
A third suit is against the National
Bank of ID. O. Mills &, Co, and alleges
that the directors of the association
! borrowed from the bank 500, 600 for
the purpose of paying off the sixth series
of stock, giving as security q number
of notes and mortgages, amounting to
mere than $4,000 He asks that the
II ansfer be declared invalid and of no
effect and that the bank be enjoined

him as receiver.
A fourth suit is against the Farmers
and Mechanics Bank, claiming that the
directors borrowed S2G,000 from the
bank transferring as security notes
and mortgages Of the association to a
much larger amount and asking, as in
the other case, that the transfer be
declared invalid and of no effect, anG
that the bank be enjoined from collect

HAERLY QUARTER MILLION.
MOST OF THE BONDS OF 1895
HAVE BEER REDEEMED.
Bonded Debt Commissioners Pur-
chased Them From Daniel
Meyer Yesterday.

A goodly slice Of the city's debt was
wiped cut yesterday. nearly all the issue
Of 1883 bonds having been purchased
by the Bonded Debt Commission
Daniel Meyer had made PROPOSE
ton to the Commissioners, which was
taken under consideration. 1t was
submitted to the Executive Committee
of the Chamber of Commerce. which
held a meeting on Friday night, ana
approved of it. Yesterday Mr.. Meyer
came up and met the Commissioners
and the result was that they bought
from him between $1S0,O90 and SlSo'-
go worth Of the 1893 bonds, cleaning
UP the whole issue, with the exception
of about $12.C00 The price paid was
par. with interest to February list,
making the rate paid 81 80 This pref
ty well cleans up the amount OF mon
ey in the hands of the Commissioners,
and which had been accommodating for
some time.
The bonds of 1893 have all been
paid, with the exception Of about SILL
600, and are thus practically wiped out.
The bonds OF 1903 amount to about
ST9.CC0, and will be provided for before
they fail due AS for the bonds Of
1883, there seems to be a doubt as to
their legality, and the city is in htiga-
ton regarding the interest on them
at present. the case having just been
sent back from the Supreme Court for
trial. the demurrer having been over
ruled.
The San Francisco attorneys en-
ployed by the city seem to think that
the validity of the bonds themselves
can be successfully attacked. There are
a number of them that cannot be
traced. as well as a number of interest
coupons that have never been present
cd. amounting in all TO about S30,VJ3'
ard as it is probable that they have
been either lost or destroyed it looks
as if the city will be a gamer to that
extent.
