The Report That He Is Dying Con-
tradicted by DIR. Graf.

The Report That He Is Dying Com
tradicted by DIR. Graf.
Kingston, Jamaica. March 20.-A bulle-
tin issued at 8 o'clock by the physician
attending the Hon. John Sherman, former
American Secretary of State, who is suf
fering from pneumonia aboard the steamer
Paris, stated that the patients condition
had shown no Improvement in the preced-
ing twenty-four hours. DIR. Graft was in
terviewed as the Paris was getting under
way to leave here at o'clock tonight and
he said that Mr.. Sherman was no worse
He also contradicted a rumor that had
gained currency here to the effect that
Mr.. Sherman was dying, adding that on the
contrary he took a hopeful view OF the
case. Just as the steamer left the port
your correspondent saw Mr.. Hoyt, who.
despite the statement of DIR. Graft held
out little hope for the recovery of the
former Secretary. He said that Mr.. Sher-
man was much weaker and was not
expected to live until morning. Mr.. Hoyt
further said that he had cabled to
Secretary of the Navy Long asking him to
have a warship meet the Paris at Santi-
ago, whittier she is bound from here, to
take Mr.. Sherman aboard.

CONDEMNED BEEF.
Meat Inspector Janssen Destroys n

Meat Inspector JANSEN. of the health
department, condemned Friday a carcass
of beef which died Of blood poisoning.
The animal was owned by a Bohemian,
residing on Butternut street, near Sew

inspector would, in all probability, have
been used for food. ee--s
AS the owner had not offered the ami
NAL for sale. or, rather, the inspector
could not prove this fact, all that could
be done was to condemn the meat. and.
after pouring enough kerosene oil on 1t
to prevent its use, order the garbage con-

Built His Size.

Sitting on a bench, in the lobby of the
Ryan hotel, last night, was J. c. Brau-
thengarth, of Lennox N. J. A casual
glance revealed the cause of his choice of
a bench; perforce because he had to take
something larger than a chair, for he
carries around with him a waist meas
ure of 102 inches, almost three times that
of an ordinary man. and, owing to his
great weight and immense proportions, Is

SURPRISE and SHOCK
NEWS OF THE CLOSING OF THE
SAVINGS BANK OF ST.
PAUL
CAUSED A BIG CONNECTION

Five Thousand DepOsItors, None of
the Institution Was Not Solvent
Until They Read of It's Closing
Application Made for Receiver
Effect on Other Hanks.
/ From early yesterday morning long be-
fore banking hours and until after dark
last night the sidewalk in front Of the
Savings Bank of st. Paul, at Sixth and
Cedar streets, was obssructed by groups
of people. The publication in the G b e
yesterday morning that Bank Examiner
Pope had taken charge of the institution
in the interest of the depositors and
creditors was a surprise and a shock to
the general public, and more so to the
depositors of the bank.
The scenes around the door of the bank
during the day were anything but pleas
ant. The window curtains were closely
drawn, and small card on the door stat
ed briefly that the bank examiner of the
state had taken charge VI the institution.
The crowd at O'clock numbered 100 per-
sons, and all seemed to have but one
object in view, and that was to get near
enough to the door of the bank to read
the, notice This having been done the
| depostOrs gathered in groups, and fell to
discussing the situation of affairs, sympa-
thizing with each other and arguing as
/ to the amount which the bank would
| pay the depositors. =s
Gen. Pope placed ]. o. Davis and Capt.
Compton Of his staff in charge, and these
| gentlemen will remain until the court has
| appointed a receiver. The application for
! a receiver was made by Assistant At
4 torney General Donahower before Judge
Brill in the district court yesterday morn
| ing. After reading the complaint and
hearing the assistant attorney general
| briefly Judge Brill issued an order to show
cause. why application for a receiver
should not be granted. The order is re-
| turnable Monday morning at 10 o'clock.
| The complaint on which the application
| is based sets forth that according to the
| report of the public examiner the entire
capital stock Of the bank, amounting to
| 100000. Is lost. and that in addition the
| assets of the bank are impaired to an
amount upward of $780, that its annual
| business for period Of four and one-half
| years past has been conducted at a loss
| of $4,000 per annum.
! 1t further alleges that prior to the 9Th
day of May, 1899, the defendant loaned
of the assets of the bank, in direct viola
! ton of law, the aggregate sum of $43
| 619.06 to divers trustees and employees of
| the bank
The examination of April % showed that
! on that date the aggregate liability of
| the bank to its depOsitors and stockhold-
! ers amounted to the sum Of 81, 170,517 49,
