A BANK CLAIM DECIDED.
The Chemical National Of New York
Wins n 100000 suit

The claim of the Chemical Nati1nal
Bank. OF New York upon the Fidelity Ma
tional Bank. OF Cincinnati. for a l1an Of
$500, ,OOO was established by decision OF
the Supreme Court yesterday. In annrunc-
ing the opinion Justice Harlan reviewed
the facts. Harper. Vice President o. the
Fidelity Bank applied 10 the Chemical
Bank for a loan OF $500 900 TO his bank
which was granted and credit given the
Fidelity for that amount on it's books.
Later Harper fraudulently caused the Of
ficers Of his own bank to give him adj
vidually credit on its book for $500. 900 and
personally used the money. The $500. TO
in the Chemical Bank was checked out by
the officials OF the Fidelity Bank or its
own checks. When the Fidelity failed, the
Chemical Bank put in its claim for $780,
600 which was resisted By the receiver on
two grounds:
one that Harper was not authorized 10
act for the bank in making the loan; that
the money was used in a dishonest scheme
OF his own. The other that the Fidelity
Bank was not liable for the loan because
the corporation had no power TO borrow
that sum il its officers had asked for II.
The court below. said Judge Harlan.
found that the Fidelity Bank was respon-
sible to the Chemical Bank for the money
and its judgment was affirmed. Whether
or not II had the power TO borrow the
money il got the money, drawing it out on
its OWp checks

sad case Of destitution and sickness
was brought tn light yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. Harriet Smith, a respectable coIored
woman, lived with her husband and two
children at 1013 Sixteenth Street north
west. They were able to maintain a mod
est home, and with the assistance derived
from renting several rooms were in a
comfortable condition.
Several weeks ago their two children
were stricken with scarlet fever. The lodg-
ers left the house because Of the conta-
gion The husband lost his position and
was unable TO secure further work. Last
week he went to Annapolis in the hope Of
finding employment there. Mrs Smith was
left alone TO provide for and nurse her sick
children.
Yesterday afternoon she had but 10 cents
with which to buy food and medicine. Her
rent had not been paid and the agent or
landlord Of the property sent several men
to remove her furniture from the house
Mrs Smith begged them to permit her to
stay one day longer as in that time she
said she would try 10 provide a place for
herself and children. The men refused and
proceeded 10 move her household goods
from the premises. The goods were placed
on the parking adjoining the side walk.
The sight Of a crying woman, scantily
clad, amid confused collection OF house
hold goods was a novel sight TO the resi-
dents in the vicinity OF Sixteenth and X
Streets northwest and attracted a crowd Of
SEQ people Many expressions OF sympathy
were heard and some threats were made.
The agents Of the property were severely
scored Tor their apparent lack Of feeling IN

Many suggestions were made by the by
ISLANDERS. but none offered any material

nOunced n Good One.
Commissioner Wight and Health Officer
Woodward returned from Atlanta last
night, where they went to inspect the gar
bage crematory recently installed in that
city.
They found the system OF garbage col
lection and reduction working satisfacto-
rily, and were highly pleased with the re-
suits Of their trip. In brief, they inspect
ed system Of garbage disposal, i7clud-
ing ashes. and miscellaneous waste and
refuse. which practically gets rid Of all dirt
at a cost not exceeding 60 cents per capita
Of the population.
The plan of operations in Atlanta as de-
scribed by DR.. Woodward consists Of two
brancbes-the collection Of refuse and its
cremation at the furnace The former
branch Of the work is carried on by the
city, the carts and horses being the prop-
erty OF the municipality and the men be-
ing employees OF the health department.
There are three sets Of carts-one for
ashes, one for miscellaneous waste, and
one for other refuse. The city is regu-
larly cleaned by districts at stated inter-
walls. Garbage is taken away every day,
and ashes three times a week
All the refuse but ashes is taken to the
crematory, which Is located in the very
centre of the city, two blocks from the
depot, and there burned. The paper, wood
and other combustible material in misceI-
laneoUs waste furnishes fuel to the fur
mace. not pound OF coal being used in the
process.
The general conclusion reached by the
inspection, was as stated by Commissio Ter
Wight, that the process in operation in
Atlanta furnishes a cheap and effective
mode Of garbage disposal.

THE CoUNTERFEITING CASE.

Clark and Berry Heretofore I'm
known to Secret Service officials.
James Berry and Richard L. Clark. the
two men who were arrested In Alexandria
on Saturday night by officer James on a
charge Of circulating spurious silver dol
lars were given a hearing yesterday be-
fore the Alexandria authorities and held
for the grand jury, which meets in April.
1t was at first thought probable that the
men would be turned over to the United
States authorities, but IL is understood
that the Virginia State authorities de-
Clined to agree to any such arrangement.
Both Of the men, IL is said, confessed to
having circulated counterfeit coin. Ii is
alleged that they are only mediums
through which an organized gang CT coun-
terfeiters has been distributing spurious
money throughout the small cities in the
South.
The capture was considered Of such inn
pOrtance that Chief Wilkie and Mr. Mo-
ran, Of the United States Secret Service
Bureau. interviewed the men in Alexandria
on Sunday. The object was, if possible, to
obtain a clew to the real counteIfeiters
with whom il is suspected they are operat-
ing AS far as could be learned nothing
Of Importance was brought out in the in
teryiew.
Mr.. Moran said yesterday that the bu-
reau had no information TO give out rela-
tive to the prisoners excepting that they
were unknown to the Secret Service Off
GERS as men who had previously been en-
gagged in counterfeiting money.
