"Rahway, n. j., Jan. 6.-The Union
County Bank has been compelled to sus-
pend, owing to the unusual demand made
upon ii by depositors. So far as the official
examination has progressed, there does not
seem to be any sufficient reason to doubt
that depostors will be paid in full as soon
as the bank can realize on its investments

Deputy Commissioner of Banking and In
Surance."
The Union County Bank has been paying
s per cent. dividends on a capital of $4,000
The bank, which is state institution. had
a surplus of $4,000. After the difficulties
of the Middlesex County Bank, of Perth
Amboy, n. j., which was robbed by it's
cashier, George NJ. Valentine, there was
some evidence of timidity the part of
the depositors, the president of the
Union County Bank. Edward +. Savage
had been Valentines lawyer. and the vice
president Of the Union County Bank, Null
ford d. Valentine, was an uncle of the de-
faulting cashier of the Middlesex County
Bank.
1t was known for days that the banks
accounts were not accounted for and this
led TO run on the bank during Thursday
and Friday, and 1t is said that about $30.000
was paid out yesterday, and there were
still many depOsitors awaiting to draw out
money when the bank closed for the day
After this the directors decided not to
open the bank this morning.

ROBERTS CASE CLOSED.
The Utah MOrmon's Final Appeal I'm
His Own Behalf.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 6.-When the Rob-
erts committee resumed its sessions to-day
Mr.. Roberts went with his argument be-
gun yesterday. He reviewed the action of
the constitutional convention of Utah. urg-
ing that this carried out the requirement
Of Congress for the admission of Utah as a
State. namely, that polygamous marriages
should no longer be contracted. In particu-
lar, Mr.. Roberts contended, there was no
requirement by Congress or in the consti-
tutional convention that previously con-
tracted matrimonial arrangements had
been interrupted.
In the course of his arguments Mr.. Rob-
erts said he had observed that the ladies
involved in this question of plural wives
were quite generally received in the circles
of gentileS in Utah. He denounced what he
characterized as the sensational crusade
made against him, and also the effort to
arouse public feeling by saying 1.-The Amer
lean home" was in danger. IF necessary"
he exclaimed, II could call attention TO ten
thousand evils which threaten the country
without going TO the State of Utah"
In closing Mr.. Roberts said the patriotism
of the Mormon Church toward the country
could not be questioned. When fund was
raised for the survivors of the Maine the
Mormon Church had contributed one-fifth
OF the entire amount When the country's
authority In the philippines was questioned
Utah guns, handled by Utah men," had
been I'm the forefront OF the fray.
Mr.. Schroeder stated that no further point
would be made on Roberts's naturalization
papers. as IL was desired to exclude him
from Congress specifically and solely on
the ground of his being a polygamist
After the arguments closed members of the
committee attached some Importance to a
question asked by Mr. Tayler of Mr.. Rob-
erts. relative to the latter being amenable
while in the District OF Columbia TO the
Edmunds act. II is understood that special
attention may be given by the committee
both sides were closed. and the committee
went into executive session. At the execu-
tive session the committee decided to close
the hearings and the testimony, unless ex-
Secretary Carlisle desired to be heard
further. The committee then adjourned
until Wednesday.

land, professor of physics at the Johns
Hopkins University has made a discovery
of great Importance to the scientific world.
1t is in the nature of an explanation of the
was nearly a year ago that DR.. Rowland
commenced his experiments. He was at
tracted to the subject. he says. by the lack
OF explanation or theory for the earth
magnetism. The experiments have been
continued by Dr. Rowland and his assist
ants and their efforts have recently been of
satisfactory results, which will soon be re-
ported fully for the benefit of science.
The apparatus used by DR.. Rowland is a
simple metal wheel revolved upon a shaft
by means of an electric motor. The wheel
is wound with several miles of fine wire.
and this magnetism is developed when the
wheel is reyolved. About the wheel is a
casing or sheath of brass at distance Of
about half an inch from its circumference,
but leaving an air or ether space between,
which may be said to represent the layer
of atmosphere about the earth. With this
simple apparatus DR.. Rowland is now
working TO show that the faster the revo-
luton of the wheel the more magnetism
will be developed. He has already shown
ing body, and. although upon such an in
finite small scale in the laboratory expert
ments. DR.. Rowland says he is convinced
that the principle holds good for the earth
and other heavenly bodies as they revolve
through space. OF course, the immense
weight and great speed OF these bodies add
to the amount of magnetism which they
produce.
1t will take an almost endless series Of
delicate experiments to bring out the vari-
Gus phases of the relation of the magnet
ism to the speed of the moving body. For
instance. the wheel is revolved at a certain
speed with the outer sheath, and again
without the sheath, TO show if any differ
ence exists. Then these experiments must
be made at another speed. and so on. Dr.
Rowland. however, is highly pleased
with the results so far attained that he will

Release of Gilmore.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Oficial confir-
nation has come from both General Otis

from Manila of the release of the Ameri-
can prisoners, who have been held in the
hands of the Filipinos for many months,
and there is no longer any doubt that
Lieutenant Gilmore, of the Yorktown, is
among the number.
General Otis's dispatch reads: 1.-THE pris-
oners now en- route from Vigan will arrive
tonight, and list of them will be tele-
graphed tomorrow. Captain Gilmore is
among the number.
Admiral Watson's advice is as follows:
"Colonels Hare and Howse have recap

The sweeping statements made In the

appear the names of some OF the officers

the army rolls as missing. Among the

He disappeared completely, and no trace

days journey from Manila.

sides in this city, and who shot his brother
in-law, Edward Sinclair, near Keysburg,
KY, last night, arrived here to-day. and
after consultation with friends announced
his readiness to surrender to the authori-
ties. He declined to talk for publication,
but it is stated by close acquaintance
that trouble had existed between Elliston
and Sinclair for some time, Elliston claim
ing that Sinclair had not treated Mrs. Sim

hunting party that was being entertained
by a friend at Keysburg, and the shooting
of Sinclair occurred at a late hour when
the two men were discussing the trouble

action of the Kentucky authorities. He is
we'll known among the bird trap shooters
