A STRANGE CASE.
Worcester Parents Just Hear Their
Daughter Died Three Months Ago.

Daughter Died Three Months Ago.
Mrs. Ella Barrows, only daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry w. Butler of 4C
Merrick street, died in St Luke's hos
pital, Denver, Col, Dec. Is, 1898. Meth
er Mr.. nor Mrs. Butler had heard any
thing from their daughter for several
months, but finally the rumor came to
them that their daughter was dead.
AT MI. Buffers request, Chief of Po-
lice James M, brennan wrote to the
authorities of Denver, asking Informal
ton regarding the woman. A reply
was received yesterday stating that
Mrs. Barrows died on the above date
from the effects of rheumatism and
pneumonia. The letter also states that
Eleazer BaITows. her husband was
committed to the insane hospital at
Pueblo, about three weeks before his
wife's death. This affair is supposed
to have fastened her death.
The information came in the nature
of a complete surprise to the parents

Church, and previous to going west
lived with her family in Providence for
a number of years. She has also a
number of friends in this city She
was possessed of considerable ability
from a musical standpoint and of a
nature that endears her memory to all
who knew her.
Mr.. Barrows was formerly engaged
in the drug business in Providence, but
went west few years ago to accept a
position as foreman in the wholesale
drug house of Forbes & Stromberg. He
was addicted to the use of cocaine, and
this, together with business reverses
is supposed to have caused his present
condition.

OPERATIONS OF THE BANKS.
Three New Institutions Figure I
Last Weeks Statement.

New York. March 25.-The weekly bank
statement shows the following changes:
Surplus reserve, decrease, S5l6, 151; loans,
increase, So, $50, 600; Specie, increase, $203,
30; legal tender, increase, $l29, 500; depoS-
its, increase, So. 5000; circulation, de-
crease, sec, 100.
The banks now hold SIS, 557, 425 in excess
of the legal requirements
The Financier says: The changes in the
totals of the New York bank statement
for the current week are meaningless,
judged by the ordinary sense, for the
reason that the totals include the Astor
National a new clearing number, and
the Hudson River and the Aston Place
banks. which, as branches of the Corn
Exchange bank, are now cleared through
the parent institution. The new banks
carry average deposits of about eight and
a third millions and loans of over seven
and a half millions, and the statement
must nave been affected by an amount
nearly as large. although the Corn Elk
change bank totals do not Indicate the
full change. OF course, the new banks
carry a full reserve, so that the position
of the remaining banks was not material
~ altered, but TO get at the real opera
tons OF the clearing house institutions 1t
is necessary to deduct at least six millions
both in loans and deposits. On this basis
the expansion of S., $3.50, 900 in loans, as
compared with the previous week, means
that there has been a slight decrease in
the actual discounts of the banks, whose
totals have been heretofore reported. h
same results hold good in deposits, for the
~ SOsOOJsOOO w " CQ0d1 liz
addition of the Astor Nationals total of
100000, to say nothing of the deposits
of the other two banks added.
1t will be seen, therefore, that the de-
posit liabilities of the regular clearing
house banks were materially reduced last
as were the loans. Reserves ought
to have shown a corresponding gain, but
tho increase in cash was only a third of
a million. and as the deposit expansion
called for about $&50,000 additional require
ment, the actual decrease in reserves was
S5l6, $50. Perhaps a more accurate way to
get at the position of the banks is to say
that thirteen of the sixty-five banks are
now below the p per cent reserve rule. as
against twenty-five for the previous week.
A statement with factors described elm
mated, shows that the position of the
banks has been rather strengthened. This
operations with the treasury for
the week resulted in a loss of something
like one and a half millions-to the banks,
but the gain from the interior served in
large part to offset this. The totals have
been influenced somewhat by the pay
ments made in completing a large indus
trial deal.

Logan, March 25.-The big chapel at the
Brigham Young college was packed to the
doors last night, when the mock breach of
| promise trial came off. Miss Kate Lufkin,
one of the college students, was plaintiff
in the action, and she sued Sumner Pond,
a fellow student, for $152, sos for decorating
her heart and wounding her affections.
The affair was well planned and furnish
ed no end of amusement to the large au-
dience. A jury was empaneled to try the
case, and Attorney Walters, who acted as
judge, convulsed the house with his in
structions to it. Attorneys F. K. Nebeker
and George O.; Rich. who appeared for
plalntltt and defendant, respectively, made
an interesting fight, and called forth up
roarious applause. The trial occupied
about three and a half hours. and at its
termination the jury came in with a po-
Itical platform and a bucket of white
wash for a verdict. 1t was by long odds
the most successful event of the kin ever
held here, and will add to the reputation
of the college as a place of popular in
Struction and amusement. as well as
learning. The meeting was held under
the auspices of the Philomathic So

interesting Suit to Recover School
Property.

MEG In the Second district court by "A.

carlos l.. Sessions, administrators of the
estate of Patty Sessions, deceased, against
John Fisher, Joseph L. Holbrock and
ION of a tract of-real estate and a school
building located in Bountiful, and known
dS-the FATTY Sessions academy.
Inc complaint alleges that on March 6,
1854, Patty Sessions executed a deed to
defendants, as trustee, conveying the real
estate and building, which was to be
used for the purpose of conducting a free
school for the benefit of her grandchildren
their posterity;. that as an endow
ment for the school the same deed of trust
onVey $4,000 (par Value) of the capital
stock OF Z. c. NJ. l., Salt Lake. to the
trustees, that the school, might be main
tanned by the dividends received. This
was done when there were no free schools
IN Utah, and since the institution of the
free school system a better opportunity
Tor a free education is afforded to Mrs.
Sessions posterity than they could re-
celve at the private school. 1t is alleged
also. that her are now num-
erous and are scattered. over several
state, and hence the purpose of the es-
is not accomplished. The plaintiffs there
fore ask that the trust deed be declared
void, and set aside; that the trustees be
directed TO convey said property to plain
tits for the use and benefit of the heirs
of the late Patty Sessions, who, they al
lege, will receive more direct benefit from
the property in that way that if it re-
in the hands of the trustees.
Inc academy was erected by Mrs. Ses-
sions about fifteen years ago and until
recently school was maintained there.
Mrs. Sessions died Dec. %, 1892.
