To accomplish this purpose he crawled

Lieut.. O'Neil looked for the stolen s2s5

disastrous break for liberty.
This morning Zarramsky was uncon-

Epstein was conscious; but his skull

ANOTHER
BANK
COMBINE
Commercial, Wsybsssst and
North America TO Be Merged.
Nj. Perry in the Deal.

The News learned on good authority
TODAY that another large bank consolida.
ton has been effected whereby the Com
mercial. National and the weybosset
banks and the Bank of North America
have been merged under one head AS
Narsden j. Perry, the controlling director
OF the Union Trust company. has secured
control of the major portion of the stock
of the Commercial bank as well as a sub
stantial share In the other two. Nhe three
institutions are brought into the fold
OF the Union Trust company. making that
powerful company one of the Mrongest
in New England
This is very important move, In fact
30 much hinges on the result that its
effect will be felt all over the east
Despite the fact that the consummation
of the deal is generally understood the
officials OF the banks affected are very
reticent and decline TO give any informa-
tion.
This consolidation has been contem-
plated for some time but negotiations
were conducted very quietly. When It
was finally ascertained that Mr.. Marsden
j. Perry had secured a big block of the
stock OF the Commercial National bank
st then became plain that the Union Trust
company was 10 be the practical head OF
another bank combine.
The three banks that have lately been
merged are old and reliable institutions,
but the progress of time and capital
works wonders and not a great deal of
surprise was manifested when the latest
consolidation became known. The three
big trust companies have now become
strong competitors and a very large
share of the banking business of the
city 'will pass through their hands the
struggle for supremacy will be a keen
and interesting one.
Each of the companies is making power
ful endeavors to enhance their individual
strength and this morning IL was reported
that the Industrial Trust company was
20 be greatly strengthened by the cleo
tlon TO the directorate of several New
York bankers who have large amounts
of capital to place at the institutions
disposal
This report. however, could not be
verified and Treasurer Brown. who was
seen by News representative, stated
that he knew absolutely nothing OF the
acquisition Of any New York directors
and that he did not know whether the
name OF any Of the metropolitan bankers
had been proposed. hut that IL could be
definitely sscertainsd when the regular
meeting Of the board of directors takes
place on Tuesday July 9th.

Vancouver, B., c., July 1.-The
steamer Islander, from Sakgway to-
day, brings news of an exciting flag
episode at Skagwey. E. S. Busby,
Canadian customs agent there, acting
on instructions from Ottawa, hoisted
the British flag on a pole above his
office. Several incendiary remarks
followed the hoisting OF the ensign,
and on the following morning tall,
athletic-looking man glanced up at
the flag, and stopping at the foot Of
the staff, took out his pocket knife,
and cutting the halyards, pulled down
the flag and run the halyards through
the block, rolled up the colors and
tossed them into a recess OF the build
ing. 1t did not take Customs Agent
Busby long to come to the defense Of
the flag of his country. When he
reached the fiag-furler the latter
calmly pulled card from his pocket,
and, after handing it to the astonished
Canadian official, turned on his heel
and walked away. On the card was
George Miller, attorney-at-law,
Eugene, Oregon. Miller is a brother
OF Joaquin Miller, the California poet,
and is visiting friends in Skagway.

TEN TslN CROWDED.
City Full Of Soldiers and Officers Returning
Home.

Tien Tsin, July e. The city OF
Tien Tsin is now more crowded than
ever. officers Of all nations are here
en- route for their homes, and the
hotels are placing cots in every avail
able place. Apartments have been
prepared at the University of Tien
Tsin for Prince Chuan and his suite
OF 40, who will remain there for three
days before leaving for Germany to
make formal apology for the murder
of Baron Won Ketteler.
Mr.. DENLY, who, when the foreign
troops arrived, was appointed by the
Chinese Merchants Company to pro-
tect its property, says the company,
in its claim against the United States
government, did not use the word
"loot" against the marines, but mere
ly held them responsible. The
greater part of the company's proper
ty consisted of rice, which was after
wards distributed under orders from
the British and American generals to
assist those in need. Mr.. DENLY
thinks the company's clam should
have been added to the indemnity as
legitimate expenditure, Other mer.
chants say the company never had
300, 900 taels worth OF property here.
1t is pointed out that the company
stored three boxes OF valuables with
the chartered bank before the trouble
began and did not withdraw these
until October, and that, consequently,
it is quite improbable any jewels
were left to be looted. Moreover, the
place was thoroughly gone through
by local looters before the allied forces
arrived. It would be legally impossi-
BILE to hold any portion Of the reliev-
ing force responsible for anything but
the rice and .coal, which were used as
a military necessity, to feed Chinese
coolies who were forced to labor and
also those who were without means Of
livelihood.

TUNNEL cAvED in.
Narrow Escape Of Passengers In an Express
Train.

Baltimore, July 2.--The roof OF the
Union Railroad tunnel in the eastern
section Of the city, used and con-
trolled by the Pennsylvania Railroad,
caved in shortly before 2o'clock this
morning. II is supposed that de-
feet in the arch Of the tunnel caused
the accident.
A narrow escape from death or SER
ious injury was experienced by the
passengers and crew OF an express
tse:n which was caught by the falling
debris in the tunnel AS far as can
be learned, the avalanche Of earth
and rocks caught the rear express
car, which was Immediately in front
OF the passenger cars. The train was
not running rapidly and the jar was
not severe. The engineer quickly
brought his train to full stop and
word was sent from a signal tower to
the Union station. A yard engine
was sent into the tunnel and tho
thinly filled passenger coaches were
drawn back to Union station without
the occupants being aware Of the dan
ger through which they had passed.

jured. Several persons we're killed.
The wind also blew down several
buildings.
Heavy storms are reported all over

many head Of livestock killed. The
worst storm was that which passed
through the district south Of New

RAN OUT OF HER COURSE.
Passengers Became PanIc.Sticksn. but We're
Safely Landed.

st. Johns, N. F., June 2S. The
Orient Steam Navigation Co mpany's
steamship Lusitania, from Liverpool,
June Is, for Montreal, having 300
passengers on board, was wrecked
last night off Cape Ballard.
The Lusitania was bound round
Cape Race for Montreal with large
cargo and a shipload of passengers.
She mistook her course in dense fog,
and went ashore near Renews, 20 miles
north of Cape Race, before daybreak.
The ship ran over reef, and hangs
against cliff. The passengers, who
are mostly emigrants, were panic
stricken. They stampeded and fought
for the boats, but were overcome by the
officers and crew The rougher ele-
ments among the passengers used
knives. The women and children
we're first landed, and the men fol-
lowed. The crew stood by the ship.
A heavy sea was running, but at
latest advices the Lusitania was hold
ing her own. 1t is thought that she
will prove total wreck.
The passengers OF the Lusitania
had a terrible experience. The first
knowledge they had of the disaster
was when, owing to the ship scraping
over the rocks, they were hurled from
their berths by the shock. A scene
of great excitement prevailed. Three
hundred people were clamoring to
escape, while the crew tried to pacify
them and launch the boats. The
male passengers in their attempt to
seize the boats, trampled the women
under foot and fought the crew with
knives. Some OF the more cool head
ed of the passengers assisted the crew
in the efforts to get out the boats.
The women and children, almost
nude, were pulled up the cliffs by the
coast people.
The unhappy passengers, after
shivering for hours on the hilltop,
tramped weary miles to reach the
houses of the fishermen, where they
are now sheltered. Previous to reach
ing the cliffs, the passengers passed
two hours of terrible anxiety on the
wreck. AS furious rain storm and
heavy sea ragged all night, it is feared
the Lusitania will be total wreck
The last reports received here said
the steamer was breaking up, that
her foreholds were full OF water and
that her cargo was being salvaged.
There is hope of saving the effects Of
the passengers, as, where possible,
they were stored above decks.
