A BAY STATE BANK FAILS.
Receiver For the Globe National, Of
Boston, Appointed.
Action Taken by Controller Dawes-Dlrec-
tors and Stockholders Likely
to Lose Heavily. ,..,..

WASHINGTON, D. G. (speclaD The Con-
troller OF the Currency has announced
that the Globe National Rank OF Boston
has closed its doors by order Of the Con.
troler and that Special Examiner Daniel
G. Wing has been placed In charge OF the
institution as temporary receiver. The
Globe Bank had capital OF 81 100000 and
It's downfall was caused by losses sustained
In the recent failure OF the Broadway Ma
tional Bank OF the same city and by the
decline In value OF copper stocks. In con-
nection with his action the Controller said:
"Some time ago Mr.. Wing, who Is one OF
the experts employed in the system OF
special bank examinations recently In
auguratei, discovered a serious condition
81 affairs in the Globe National Bank,
which he Immediately brought to
the attention OF the Controller, and under
his direction, to the directors OF the
bank. The directors very laudably agreed
and undertook to make good the
doubtful and bad assets found, and nave
greatly improved the condition OF the bank
since that time. They also delivered to
the Controller a written guarantee that
they would remove the doubtful assets.
Recent failures In Boston have lsssened the
value OF the unperformed portion OF the
guarantee and involved the solvency OF
the bank.
"In view OF the fact that to allow the
bank to remain open longer will result in
Injustice to unsecured creditors, now tnat
the condition OF insolvency H. found to ex-
ist, 1t becomes my duty under the law to
appoint receiver. A considerable cash div
idend can be paid to creditors at once. The
condition OF thu bank was discovered by
Special Examiner Wing In time to secure
such action on the part OF the directors as
will probably prevent the failure from In
fiicttng heavy losses upon the depositors,
but the directors and stockholders Will
lose heavily"

TWENTY.oNE SAILORS LOST.
The Worst Wreck OF Many Years On
Cape Hatteras. T~tt5

NORFOLK, Va. (SpeciaD.-The British
steamer Arlosto, Captain Batnes, bound
from Galveston to Hamburg, was wrecked
six miles south OF Hatteras, N. c., and
twenty-one OF the crew were drowned.
Captain Baines and eight OF the crew were
saved by the heroic efforts Of the lOcracoke
llfe.saving crew, under Captain James
Howard. -.
Those who lost their lives attempted to
reach the shore in small boat, which was
swar1psd shortly after 1t put of from the
ship. Captain Bafnes and the eight men re-
mained aboard and were landed by the
life-savers in the breeches buoy, but not
until after struggle which lasted all dsy.
The rescue OF Captain Baines and the
eight men was one Of the most thrilling IN
the annals Of the life-saylng service, ac-
complished as It was under the greatest
difficulty In the height OF gale on a
coast where fierce storms rage almost con-
tinuously. :.
= The men lost everything except the cloth
ing they wore. All OF the men who were
drowned were British. The cargo Il the
Arlosto consisted of cotton, wheat, corn
and meal. The Ariosto wreck Is the worst
since the German ship Elizabeth went
ashore In 1876, when ffty-fve persons were
drowned.

In the niue, and OF this number but thir-
teen have been recovered alive. All the
rest. whatever the number, are dead.
- The, explosion was the worst since the
Hill Mine disaster at Dunbar. It was ter
rife, and was heard plainly at Bro wnsvile,
three miles distant. The main shaft was
totally wrecked. About four cages filed
with men had gone down to work. Mr..
Thomas, tbs cage man; on his fourth trip
went to the bottom with fourteen men and
gave the signal for the cage to rise, when
the explosion occurred.
- The cage was blown with terrific force to
thetop Of the shaft and fell back to the
bottom, completely blocking access to the
mine. Tlmbsrs were hurled hun
dreds OF feet. The lower ring Of brick
work In the airshaft was completely
