EPIDEMIC OF SUICIDES.
Two More Neutrality-suspicious. Attempt
to Destroy Their Lives.

WASHINGTON, Feb 2.-The suicidal
mania is still prevalent in this city. Walter
Taylor a clerk i'll the Treasury Depart
ment and his pretty twenty-year-old
daughter Lucy tried to end their lives early
this morning. Miss Taylor has been in ill
health for some time past and last night
her illness assumed a suicidal form. She
was with difficulty persuaded to retire to
her room. and, about o'clock in the morn
ing, after violent struggle with her pa
rents, who tried to hold her, plunged
through the window of her home and fell
into a snow bank in the front yard. She
then ran, terribly cut and bruised, through
the streets, and, after a half hours search,
was found in snow bank almost nude by
a policeman. She was taken home, and it
was then found that during her absence
her father had hanged himself by a rope
attached TO the boiler of stove. He was
cut down and removed to the hospital un-
conscious. it was at first feared both
father and daughter would die, but at noon
the physicians said they were improving,
and that there was no doubt of their re-
covery
That an epidemic of suicidal mania exists
Eere is apparent. Besides several cases of
sef-destruction among people not promi-
nent, the following is the record of the past
six weeks: Dec q, 1877, Miss Leila Herbert,
daughter of ex-secretary of navy, jumped
from a window; Dec. 20, Miss Anna Virginia
Wells (friend of Miss HerberD shot herself;
Jan. Z, Miss Mary Waite, daughter of ex-
Governor Waite, Of Colorado, took poison;
Jan. 16, Mrs. Lucille Blackburn Lane, young
est daughter of ex-senator Blackburn, shot
herself, but stiI living.

Krag-ReynoIds Co. owed 100000.

1t was said yesterday that the Krag-
Reynolds Company, insolvent wholesale
grocers, was indebted to the Chemical Ma
tional Bank at the time of the company's
assignment. The second mortgage filed by
the Krag-Reynolds Company was to secure
a New York indebtedness of $15O.0O0 The
greater part of this amount the company
owed New York banks. Attorney A. G. Har-
ris, who represents the banks, said yester-
day that the Indebtedness to the Chemical
National is $4,000. Frank l.. Sheldon one
of the trustees under the second mortgage,
is a New York broker who secured the loans
for the Krag-Reynolds Company. w. A.
Krag, one of the members of the company,
said yesterday that he knew little about
the financial management of the concern
and he had no knowledge of the relations
between the company and the Chemical Ma
tional Bank. He said that Mr.. Reynolds,
who is out of the city, had charge Of the

WHO SILVER is.
John S. Silver is connected with the New
York Carbon Company. the headquarters of
which are at Newark, n. J. Silver's name
has been before the public many times in
recent years. He WAS alleged to be respon-
sibIe for the failure of the American Loan
and Trust Company by making loans to
Messrs. Belden & McTighe. who had the
contract for the construction of the Deca-
tur. Chesapeake & New Orleans Railroad.
He denied the statements made against him
at that time however. Silver also gained
certain notoriety in connection with the
failure of the Washington National Bank
on March %, 1891. The retirement of Henry
Buckhout from the vice presidency of the
Third National Bank, several years ago,
was directly due to his relations with Sill
Vor.
The Chemical National Bank is one of the
most prosperous institutions of it's kind in
the country, and should all the amount
loaned by Mr.. Quinlan prove a loss the
banks credit would not be affected. It's
shares of the par value of 800 have sold
for more than $1,000 each within short
time The directors are George G.. Will
liams. James A. Roosevelt, Frederick w.
Stevens and Robert Goelet. Cashier Quin-
Ian also was a director. The latter is fifty
three years OF age. During the twenty
years he was cashier he never took vaca-
tion. Mr.. Quinlan lost nearly all his own
private fortune some years ago in protect
ing the name of relative who had been
specializing on the Stock Exchange during
the panic. SO that he has nothing with
which to make good any losses arising from
his bad Judgment in the present case.
Francis Halpin. assistant cashier, is act
ing cashier of the bank pending the selec-
tion of a successor to Mr.. QunIan.

vene public policy. The consideration
was most meritorious, and the assign
ment was evidently not given for any
fraudulent purpose. There is no doubt
in my mind but that this assignment
constituted a valid lien upon the future
earnings of the assignor, to attach
thereto as soon as they came into ex-
istence as the personal property of the
assignOr.
An objection was made by counsel for
the defendant to the consideration by
the court of that portion Of the agreed
statement of facts in reference to a suit
having been brought by Heisen and a
garnishment levied upon the wages OF
the plaintiff before the filing by the lat
ter of his petition in insolvency.
The opinion of the court being, as
herein expressed. that the assignment.
was not destroyed nor affected by the
insolvency proceeding. I cannot see
tachment suit exists or not can be ma
terial. since it is admitted by the plain
tiff that there is still due from him to
defendant the sum at least of $3.50
provided the lien created by the as
Signment is not divested by the ad-
1t follows from the foregoing views
that the defendant should have judg-
ment and such is the order.
