20 to IS per cent.
Especial to TELEGRAM.)

Randolph, June l1.-This town
was startled Saturday afternoon t,
learn that on application made by +.
S.Platt, state inspector of finance, the
Randolph Savings bank had been en-
| JOIncH and its doors closed. Tie made
the usual annual examination May is.
and said he would come back in a
week or ten days and look into some
western securities again, but gave
none of the trustees to understand
that he contemplated closing the
bank. lie came Friday and made a
very careful examination and at noon
informed the trustees that he should
close the bank, and showed them the
papers all prepared to lay before
Judge Start at Chelsea. 1t was Il
great surprise to the officers Of the
bank.
His estimates submitted to the
trustees indicated a Shrinkagc of be-
tween $l2, 200 and $4,000, or ) per
cent of the deposits, and under the
law there is no alternative but to ap-
point a receiver, consequently the
doors of the bank were closed Satur-
day and the selection of a receiver is
being considered.
The bank was established january
"a. 1889, and has been noted for its
safe and conservative investments.
It's failure is a shock to~thc town,
a ma jorty of whose families are i'll
volyed.
The officers and trustees are Hon.
James Hutchinson, president; Judge
William Nichols, vice president: Is.
II. Lombard, treasurer; NJ. NJ. Wilson,
a. G. Wheeler, NJ. 4. Tcwksbury, G..

son, trustees.
The hopefulncss of dcposftors shows
confidence in the management, and the
general belief seems tC be that event.
ually the depositors will sustain only
triling losses.
Had the inspector been willing to
withhold the proceedingS--a few days
IA guarantee sufficient to more than
make up the estimated shrinkagc
could easily have been raised as many
leading business menimmcdiatcly and
voluntarily offered to do this, and
there is considerable feeling IN the
town over his action, which is, to
put it mildly characterized as hasty.
The last published statement was
made June 30, 1899 by the inspector,
and his annual report as follows:

Assessment the Theme.
Business Men Discuss it At the
Court House.
A VERY WIDE DIVERGENCE OF OPIN0N
Some Are For The Full 100 per Cent. Assess
ment, While Others Advocate Grad.
ual Raise-No definite Action,
However, has been Taken.

At largely attended business men S
meeting held in the Court house on Tues
day night, the question of taxation was
discussed, There was wide divergence
of opinion regarding the method of as
sessment; some holding that the law
should be adhered to, to the letter, and
that the only just assessment was full
disclosure of all property. The post
master was asked to preside. He called
upon Edward Schuette to open the pro-
ceedings. He reiterated his well known
views, advocating a gradual advance
ment until the full 100 per cent, is
reached. He was followed by E. G..
Nash, who pointed out some ofathe dan
gers that would necessarily follow by
jumping from a 40 per cent, basis to
the legal requirement
M. H. Murphy remarked that the tax
commissioners in sending out notice to
the assessors to assess at full value were
exceeding their authority, and he
thought there was lot of fuss made
about nothing.
Thomas E. Torrison emphatically told
the men that his experience on the Board
of Equalization had thoroughly demon
strated to his mind the impracticability
of ever attaining equality in taxation.
Other speakers added to the discussion,
but no definite action was taken.

HOME TEAM WINS GAME.
Sheboygan Pitcher Gets rlad and
Throws His Men.

Manitowoc baseball players scored a
victory over the Sheboygans on Sunday
afternoon by a score of four to three.
Wolf of the Sheboygans, who is quite an
expert pitcher, lost his temper in the
third innings, which practically insured
the game to the local team. The cause
of the trouble was decision of the UNI
pire, calling Wigand safe in slide from
third base to the home plate. 1t was
contended that the local man was put
out. When the decision was announced
Wolf threw the ball into the field, and
as a consequence the Manitowocs scored
four The Sheboygans tried to redeem
themselves toward the end of the game,
but were unable, and so they departed
for their home defeated aggregation.

STREETS WILL BE PAVED.
Aldermen Decide to Pave Eighth and Com

The aldermen literally took the bull
by the horns" on Monday night and vot-
ed to pave both Eighth and Commercial
streets with vitrifed brick. For q time
it looked as though the improving of
Commercial street might be deferred a
year, remonstrance having come up at
the last moment and A. w Burke was
present to represent the Directing pro-
perty owners.
He admitted he knew little of the real
merits of the case, but contended that
the remonstrance should be considered
as the paving of that street would com
pei certain property owners to pay a
large amountand they We're unable to
do So
Mayor Rahr and several aldermen
said that the remonstrance had come in
at very late day For year the i'm
provement of the sr teet has been under
fire and the objection had come when
it was too late to retrace the steps taken
A vote was taken first on the PROPOSE
ton TO pave Eighth street, which was
agreed to, and then a recess was taken
to consider Commercial street.
When the aldermen re-assembled the
contract for the work on Commercial
street was awarded.
