STARTLING AND SENSATIONAL.

Orders by JudEs. johnson In tho Plank.
luton Bank Cases.
MILWAUKEE, Nov. l6.-Startling and
sensational disclosures came out Of the
investigation Of the Plankinton bank
assigneeship before Commissioner
Schneider by the attorneys for the
banks creditors. BY the filing of three
orders made by Judge johnson on April
8 last, the receivers of three institu-
lions, formerly banks. are authorized
TO settle claims aggregating $990. 1888 for
the sum of 81, 942. "a. %7 ~
The withholding sof the orders as
: founded the attorneys in the case. The
1rst order filed is in the Plankington
bank asslgneeship, authorizing William
iP'laalnkington to settle claim for $125,-
e7S against the Schlessingerssf for 81. 4SG:
the second, in the case Of William H.
Timlln against against the Commercial
Bank OF Milwaukee, authorizing Re-
celver Frank H. Thompson to accept a
settlement of the banks claim of $780,
409 against the Schlessingers for 81 385,
and the third and most stupendous or
der filed is in the case of the South Side
Savings bank, which authorizes the set
j tlement for $6,014 Of claims against the
schlessingers reaching 1851, 1876.
The petitions set up the Indebtedness
and state that Ferdinand Schlessinger
W. Il. Schlessinger, Schlessinger Bros
and Adolph Schlessinger failed in 1898
Tor upwards of $4,000 The petit
ton believes that all the property of
the Schlessingers has been used to pay
their debts and reports that an offer in
compromise has been made The petit
toner, owing to the fact that other
banks and institutions have agreed to
accept settlement, states that it
would be wise to do so also.

concealment and made a bed of boughs
for her, which covered with blankets.
When all was ready we left Margaret
to rest, and, cutting more boughs, set
them upright between contiguous trees,
thus improvising an Enclosure in which
to conceal the horses, putting. them in
charge Of Mellodew, who was directed
to procure forage for them. e.,
We were now in prime condition to
keep an eye on the railroad, Punk and
I dividing the watch between us day
and night. Punk, being merely a non
commissioned officer, while / was a lieu
tenant, insisted on taking the whole
night watch, giving me the day, but in
an army of two, with a girl for reserve
we did not dare trust Mellodew-I
did not consider rank of any impor-
tance 1 therefore divided the watch
into four hours each, and took the al
ternate watches myself.
After supper I remained in the cave
for awhile, sitting beside the fire with
Margaret. There was plenty of dry
wood which Punk and had gathered
during the day, and I heaped on enough
to make rousing flame. Indeed, the
place would not have been habitable
without continuous fire, and it was
arranged between Punk and myself
that whoever was Oh watch should keep
it burning. T had my brierwood pipe,
cut from a laurel root during a cam
paign in western Virginia, and, as Mar
garet did not object, I enjoyed a COM
Portable smoke. There was splendid
draught, and both the smoke from the
fire and that from the pipe rose readily,
passing out of the natural chimney.
''What are we to watch for?" asked
Margaret, suddenly.
1.-THE passage of trains.'
II know that. For what further OBJ
ject?"

NO HOPE OF SAVING HER.
Cruiser Charleston and Valuable Con.

Cruiser Charleston and Valuable Con-
tents Total Loss.
MANILA, Nov. 16.-Further details
regarding the grounding of the United
States cruiser Charleston show that she
struck an uncharted coral reef 10 miles
east of Kamiguen island. Her stern
was almost submerged and the bow al
most out Of the water. A heavy sea
was on and the cruiser began rolling
violently. The water tight doors were
quickly closed but were stove in under
the engine ompartment, the largest of
the ship.
After the first efforts to right her the
officers feared she might slide off be-
cause of the heavy sea and therefore
abandoned the attempt to save her.
They hurried to the launches and boats
and rowed away with the Colt guns, IL
rifles and 10 days rations. A party re-
turned two days later, but found it
Impossible to Save Anything.
The first landing was made on a little
island, with coast of barren rocks.
Nearly all the boats took to the water
and proceeded to Kamiguen island,
where landing was made in the ex-
pectation of a fight. Contrary to this,
however, the crew Of the Charleston
found a. half-barbarous people regard
ing them with curiosity and without
hostility. The gunboat Helena has
been sent to pick them up.
In naval circles the accident is con-
sidered> quite unavoidable. The only
wonder is that there are not more such
disasters in Philippine waters, which
are most indifferently charted.
The Charleston lies practically in the
open sea and there is no hope of saving
her and the valuable paraphernalia and
the contents of the cruiser.

tette have been watched for several

gang is Alonzo J. Whiteman, 80 years
OF age, Of Danville, N. Y. He is
graduate Of the Columbia law school
and ex-state senator of Minnesota.
'Whiteman is under sentence of one
year and $4,000 fine for swindling in
Illinois, having been released on
"straw" bail pending an appeal. The
higher court confirmed his sentence
and he will be taken back to serve his
time. The others under arrest are

say, was operated by Charles E. Stew

munds, Thompson and Knox, and di-
rected from Danville by Whiteman.
After this money was secured the gang,
except Whiteman, went to Pittsburg,
where the next victim, the Tradesman

scheme there, according to the police,
was to deposit 81 1000 in cash to open an
account and give the gang standing.
This was done. A bogus draft for $4,-
600 was to follow, and then an effort
made to draw $4,000 Stewart, alias
Ward, was to do the work. He is
gray and venerable. The bank Off
Gals were notified by the police, and
plans were made for the arrest of the.
entire gang when 'they came on Mon

miscarried, and Stewart was caught.
The other three escaped to New York.
Pittsburg's police wired Captain Nc
