New York. July 15.-George M. VAL
entine. cashier Of the MIddlesex Coun-
ty bank of Perth Amboy N. j., which
was closed yesterday. surrendered him
self and is now in Jail on account of a
shortage in the banks funds which has
been estimated as high as s165.ssJ. The
affair caused CONSERVATION among the
business men and the conservative men
or Perth Amboy. where the Middlesex
County bank was considered as strong
as the hills.
When IL was learned that the Middle
sex County bank had failed TO open for
business crowds surrounded the Perth
Amboy Savings institution. The off,
GERS OF the Middlesex County bank and
the officers Of the Perth Amboy Savings
institution are identical. the business
of both banks having been transacted
over the same counters. Hence to those
not familiar with banking details the
suspension at the offices OF the bank
seemed To presage the downfall of the
other institution. 1t became necessary
10 call upon the police TO maintain or
der. U. Il. Watson, the president OF tho
banks, stated that the funds OF the
Perth Amboy Savings institution were
not touched, that the 100000 deposited
10 the account of the savings institu-
ton were absolutely safe, and that no
matter how badly the Middlesex Coun-
~ bank had been wrecked, the savings
bank would be able 10 meet all de-
mands 1aade upon IL by the depositors.
Ihese words of assurance had the eff
feet OF checking the run on the bank.
though all day long crowds i'm the vi
entity OF the bank watched proceedings
with the greatest interest.
The notice posted on the door OF the

Yesterdays ball game had that intense
interest which attaches to the nomination
of the state geologist in presidential-year
convention, after the other nominations
have been fought out tooth and nail Tor TWO
or three days. The race was over, the strain
was off and there was nothing to DO but
clean up the dishes and carry on the scraps,
which Milwaukee. as a sort OF poor reia-
ton, was graciously allowed to do In both
games. To add further to the listlessness OF
the occasion the news came In from Detroit
that the once feared Millers were getting
done up slowly, but firmly, by Van Der
beck's remnant and fire-sale combination.
Every once in a while a rooter would yelp,
but it was from force of habit His heart
was no more in the game than that OF a
normal man doing the pleasant at a pink
tea hurrah. OLD man Hot Stuff" may have
been there, and probably was, but his voice
was absent. However, the players once In a
while would take on semblance Of feverish
interest, but the spells would be OF short
duration and the game would again settle
down to the style in vogue early In April,
when the indianapolis Reserves were
crossing bats with the to-be pennant
winners just for pastime.
A double play. including strike-out and
throw TO second, Wnere $1,000 bod Aiiens
retired the Brewers easily. Then George
Hogriever came to bat and, first thing he
knew, Mr.. Haskell called strike three"
and George went to the bench real mad. He
hadn't got over ii in the second inning. and
when Stafford drove long one out TO right
fiel9 Georges interest was 30 languid that
single was prolonged into triple Then
Heydon added another to his passed-ball
record for the season and STANFORD scored.
Neither side scored in the third. Dammann
opened the fourth with pass for Barnes.
Congalton, Weaver and Stafford followed
with hits, the last being two-story affair,
and three runs were scored for Milwaukee.
Things looked promising for indianapolis in
this inning, as Motz walked, and after Allen
and Mcfarland had fouled out, Flynn and
Hickey followed with singles. But Heydon
flew TO Weaver. A base on balls, sacrifice
by Congalton and fly 10 left by Weaver.
followed by hit by Stafford, scored Barnes
in the fifth. The champions of so got in a
run in the sixth. Allen singled and Dibby
Flynn followed with three-story drive
when two were out. Heydon opened in the
seventh with a two-sack drive, and single
ones by Hogriever and Hartzell brought
home the run. Things might have been diff
ferent If Hogriever had refrained from try
| ing to steal third after stealing second, but
he tried ii and found the desired property
nailed down and that settled 1t.

THE TRAFFIC OF AUGUST
NEARLY 100000 LOADED CARS HAM,
DIED At INDIANAPOLIS.
Low Rate for Carrying Freight on the
Wabash I'm Year Ending June 30
What President Ashley Says.

In the month of August the fifteen lines
centering at Indianapolis received and for
warded 200 cars. 9S.O4s being loaded. Iii
August. 1893 the same lines handled .3s1
loaded cars: in 1897. 95.7l7: 1896. 1911; 1895.
1879; 1884, 1928: 1892 66oH; 1892, 9372S; 1891,
1924. In the above statement two things
are eable-the small proportion or
empties to the total number OF cars handled,
and the fact that when the size Of cars now
in use is considered the increase in tom
mage per car which is carried. That fewer
loaded cars were handled than in August,
1898, is wholly due TO the shortage in the
supply of cars. ]. Q. Van Wrinkle. general
superintendent of the Big Four, states that,
while every through car moving is loaded
to it's fullest capacity. had the company the
cars 30 per cent more business, if not 30 per
cent more, would have been carried. and an
official of the Pennsylvania lines says the
same is true OF their loaded car movement.
The Vandalia and the Cincinnati, Hamilton
& Dayton, the Indiana. Decatur & Western
and the Monon exceeded I'm August. the
loaded-car movement of last year. The Big
Four proper and the Panhandle dropped be-
low last year. The Peoria and Eastern divi-
sion Of the Big Four also shows an in
crease this year. While the Big Four
proper and the Panhandle handled fewer
loaded cars at Indianapolis the loaded car
movement was I'm excess or August. lSsS In
every case more tonnage was handled at
Indianapolis than i'm any August in the his
tory of the lines. The MonOn and the Lake
Erie * Western shared in this increased
tonnage, as not ear was sent out OF IN
dianap polls unless loaded to its fullest ca
Ddcity.

Western League Has Had n Successful
demonstrating of Clubs.

CHICAGO, Sept. I.-To-days games
closed the Western League season for 1899
Indianapolis securing the pennant with %
games won and AZ lost, a percentage Of .6l.
Minneapolis took second honors, winning
rs games and losing 80, .603 per cent. The
remainder of the teams finished in the fol-
lowing order: Detroit. Grand Rapids. St.
Paul, Milwaukee, Kansas City and Buffalo.
This years Western League season has
been marked by remarkably close struggle.
Not until a month ago did the race shape
itself into any definite lines. Then Mime
apolis and indianapolis begun to go to the
front and from that time until the last few
days the race has been between the two
clubs.
President B. r. Johnson said to-day that.
taken on the whole, it had been a success
full season. 1t was infinitely better than
last year, although II did not come up to the
seasons of 1896 and 1897 financially. He also
added that the next year of the Western
League was a matter for grave considera-
were administered. St. Paul proved handiest
with the whitewash brush, shutting out OPP
posing teams nine games. Grand Rapids
and Minneapolis distributed numerous goose
eggs. each team winning eight games of this
sort. Indianapolis VAS successful in six no.
run battles, Buffalo and Kansas City in
five each, while Detroit and Kansas City
only "Chicagoed" teams twice each. Dur
ing the year 135 games were won and lost
by one run, Buffalo leading with % won and
