True to Instructions.

My friend the newspaper man told
me funny little story which happened
during the last election in certain
newspaper Office in this city.
They were pressed for men and had to
take OH some of the old printers that
went out of Office with the arrival of the
typesetting machines. One Of the edi-
torial writers wrote what he considered
a fine effort Of rhetoric on Mckinley.
Every page wss sorely crowded, and the
fiat had gone forth that nothing should
be loaded. not even editorials. In the
midst Of the editorial etfusion occurred
the following sentence: Mckinley &
name led all the rest. "
This piece of copy was turned over tc
one Of the old discharged men. Tc
everybody's astonishment half Of the
editorial in point was loaded, making d
very offending column to the eye.
The old printer was sent for. He de-
clared he had followed copy exactly.
Asked to bring the proof, he hurried W
stairs and from bundle Of writer
sheets extracted what he wanted.
In the meantime the editorial writer
had discovered that sled all the rest
had been omitted entirely, and he waf
madden than ever.
"Where is the rest Of that sentence"
he growlcd when the ancient fossil ap
peared with the copy. you've chopped
this off at 'MoKinley's name. >"
"There is the copy" said the aged
file. Fright after McKinley's name YOU
! wrote led all the rest. and l loaded it.
Of COURSE"
The editorial writer had nothing more
10 say after that.-st. Louis Republic.

SUN SHINES ON DESOLATION.


Great Damage to Homes Al Dayton
and GAINESVILLE.
Cincinnati, March 26-All over the
Ohio valley the sun shone yesterday.
But the want and desoation In the
track of the storm are sadly manifest.
The greatest damage to homes seems
to have been at Dayton and at Zanes-
vile. In these two cities hundreds Of
families have been driven from their
homes and remained dependent upon
public charity, which has been
bounteously bestowed. In Dayton one
building association has mortgages on
200 inundated houses. Many of the
occupants will lose their homes IL not
assisted.
The Ohio river is rising at all points
from Parkersburg to Cairo. At Gin
cinnati at 10 o'clock last night the
stage was 533 feet. a rise Of four
tenths of a foot in four hours, which
rate IL maintained.
The railroad situation Is improved.
The Cincinnati. Hamilton and Dayton
reaches Detroit and Toledo by de-
tours. The Big Four is open except
In White Water Valley division. The
Erie comes and goes by detours. The
Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern Is
detouring east and west The Penn
sylvania is open everywhere. All other
roads are intact. Merchants are NOV
ing goods from cellars. The Grand
Central station is not being used today
on account Of flooded tracks. stage
of IS feet will be reached here.

ANOTHER BANK CLOSED.


Tho PeOple'S, OF fnliauelpntn, NOW
Undergoing an Examinations.
Philadelphia, March 26-On Thurs
day John s. Hopkins, cashier Of the
Peoples bank, died at his home here,
and it was announced that he was a
victim of heart disease. Yesterday it
was discovered that he had committed
suicide by shooting, and the bank was
closed pending an investigation of its
affairs. 1t has been developed that
Hopkins had transactions with Rich
ard F.. Lopez, of the Guarantors'
Finance company, which assigned the
other day, and President James Nc
names, of the bank, declared in answer
to O question that "$150000 would not
be flea bite in comparison with the
banks loss" although 1t was impos-
sible to learn just what amount was
involved.
Mr.. Lopez was summoned before
the bank directors yesterday. After
the meeting he said to reporter: II
have done nothing to be ashamed of.
and my transactions with the bank
were all above board, but I consider
it prudent at present to say no more"
Inc closHlS VI tue Itopfe b pdHh re-
called to many bankers and financial
men the similarity between the careers
of Mr.. Mechanics and Mr.. Singerly.
Both made money in other pursuits
and then took to banking, both becom-
ing presidents of financial institutions,
in which they were largely interested.
The fate of Mr.. Singerly's bank needs
no comment, while today Mr. McManes'
bank is closed pending an examination
into its accounts.

MINING STATISTICS.

Accidents. Says Chief Brownlee, Re-
suit From Ignoring Mine Rules.
Harrisburg, March 26.-The advance
sheets of the first annual report of
Robert Rrownlee. chief Of the bureau
Of mines and mining was yesterday
made public. Mr.. Brownlee says there
is no question that II the mine rules
were more vigorously enforced the
number of accidents in the mines would
be very materially reduced. Some
people," he continues, attribute the
cause of so many accidents to the
large foreign element employed in and
about the mines. My experience and
observation have been that this class
are as careful of danger. If not more
SO. than many Of the experienced
miners"
The number of employees In the an
thracite mines from which reports have
been received is 59,s23. Of these %. 402
are native born, 1861 are naturalized
citizens and 22.S6O are aliens. In the
bituminous mines the number OF en-
ployes was $1,000; native born. 23.675:
naturslized citizens. 1861; aliens, 81.
537.
Mr.. BroWnee says there are toe
many mines and too many men en-
gagged in the business for mining to be
profitable. He thinks this the reason
of discomfort and suffering among
miners,

ing Made Way with Eighty Thou
sand Dollars OF the Clty's Funds by
Unlawful Methods.
New York, March 26.-In the Kings
county criminal court in Brooklyn yes
terday nine indictments were handed
down by the grand jury against former
city officials and contractors of Brock
Ign. The indicted men are: Former
City Works Commissioner Theodore B.
Willis, ex-Police Commissioner w. E.
Phillips, Robert w. Fielding, former
deputy of city works commissioner;
Oscar Knapp, former water purveyor:
Fred Milne, inspector; former Alder
man William ]. Leaycraft. former AL
derman Joseph r. Clarke. A. L. Jansen,
a clerk in Controller Palmer's office;
w. II. Golf, former superintendent Of
sewers.
The indictments charge the former
ofiicehoders with having, by means
of fraudulent contracts for public work,
made away with $4,000 Of the funds
they found in the treasury Of the city
of Brooklyn when they took Office. The
affidavits secured by the district at
troney and by him laid before the
grand jury allege that ? the accused
made 1t a practice to meet at the resi-
dence Of William e. Phillips, where
plans were discussed and agreed upon
for securing contracts upon conditions
of peculiar advantage to those inter-
ested.
1t is alleged that Contractor Daniel
Doody supplied the foundation for the
whole investigation by practically turn
ing states evidence after Comptroller
Coler and his assistants had discov.
cred that $4,000 in cash was missing
from the Brooklyn water fund, and
that there were evidences of Other
grave frauds and defalcations.
The records charge the $4,000 II
question to emergency work" The
law required that all work the cos
of which was to exceed $4,000 should b.
| awarded by contracts, upon adver
tisement for the regular time. IL
evade this law, 1t is alleged. the of
ficers of the Brooklyn city works de
partment had been in the habit o
ordering work and paying for 1t IL
sums of $1,000 or less.
Further search in the records brough
out the fact that most of these small
Jobs and the money for them ha'
fallen into the hands Of firm that ap
peared upon the books as Thoma
| Frazier & Co. Mr.. Coler was at frs
inclined to believe that the firm wa
a myth, but little detective work dis
closed the fact that Contractor Dood
was really Thomas Frazier & Co.
All the bills for this "emergenc
work" had to receive the 20 K" o
Water Purveyor Knapp. be certifie

Washington, March 26.-The stirring
scenes of the Fifty-first congress- when
members of the minority were charg-
ing down the aisles protesting against
the rulings of Speaker Reed. were re-
called yesterday in the turbulent pro-
tests made by the minority against a
ruling of the chair during the consider
alton of the naval appropriation bill
The ruling, in effect, compelled MEM
bcrs to cOntine their remarks under the
five minute rule to the subject before
the house, and was made against Mr..
Hartman, Montana Silver Republican,
who attempted to make a political
speech. The ruling was denounced as
a usurpation, and appeal after appeal
was taken. No progress was made with
the bill.
