There had been bad feeling between the
men for some time before Meredith was
made chief of police and served notice on
Considine that the latter could not remain

Considnes business. In retaliation Con-

He rendered His Resignation as
President of the Bank.
E. R. THOMAS HIS SUCCESSOR
STATEMENT MADE THAT THE BANK
is IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
Pynchon National Bank Closed-Enor-
nous Disbursements for Div
idends and Interest.

NEW YORK June 25.-It became known
to-day that there was a debit balance at
the clearing house against the Seventh
National Bank amounting TO S93S,0OO. This
gave rise to rumors that the bank was
in difficulties and caused other rumors
that other banks were also hampered. All
these were cleared away when Manager
William Sheerer, of the Clearing House
Association, gave out a statement 10 the
effect that all clearing house sheets had
gone through. William II. Tappen, presi-
dent of the Gallatin National Bank, who
was present at the conference during the
day with other members OF the clearing
house, made the following statement: All
banks have settled their balances satisfac-
torily This dsposes of all rumors.'
Tonight a statement was given out by
the officials OF the Seventh National Bank,
in which it was said that the debit balance
of the Seventh National Bank with the
clearing house this morning was 5000,
and that this balance was due TO heavy
checking on the part of the men connected
with several large brokerage and banking
houses. The directors and stockholders of
the bank convened. and at once provided
ample means for all business purposes.
The statement further says that the furry
was probably started for stock jobbing pur-
poses, and that the rumors so weighed on
the mind of President William II. Kimball,
of the bank, that he rendered his resigna-
ton. which was accepted. and +. R. Thom-
as son of Gen. Samuel Thomas, elected in
his place. General Thomas is a director
and of the heaviest stockholders in the
bank. The statement AYERS that the bank
is in most excellent condition, and is not
connected, directly Indirectly, with any
other financial institution in New York or
elsewhere.

MEDICAL COLLEGE BURNED
DEPARTMENT OF THE UNIVERSITY
OF ILLINOIS DESTROYED.
Lightning Struck the College of Ply
sicians and Surgeons at Chicago
and 1t Soon Was i'm Ashes.

CHICAGO. June 25.-During a heavy
thunderstorm tonight lightning struck the
College of Physicians and Surgeons on Har-
rison street between Wood and Honore
streets. The fire which followed the
lightning, in short time destroyed the
college building. which was one of the
finest of its kind in the West The light
ming struck the college squarely the top
of raising projection in the front part Of
the roof. and such a tremendous crash of
thunder accompanied the fash that all peo-
pie in the neighborhood thought an explo-
sion had taken place in the college. Almost
before the first fire engines had arrived the
flames had spread all through the five
stories of the building.
Adjoining the college is the smaller build
ing of the West Side Hospital, which was
filled with patients, about 100 being in the
various wards. AS soon as it was seen that
the college could not be saved and that its
walls were liable to fall at any time the
work of removing the patients from the
hospital began. The rain was pouring
heavily at the time, but fortunately there
are so many hospitals and medical institu-
tions in the neighborhood that IL was neces-
sary TO remove the people only short dis
tance. most of them being taken to the
Country Hospital, one square distant. The
removal was carried on with the utmost
haste, the patients being carried forth in
their beds. on chairs, cots stretchers and
anything that would permit OF transporta-
ton. The fremen and the attendants at
the hospital did most of the work, although
hundreds of medical students living i'm the
neighborhood, and who had been attracted
by the conflagration. lent their assistance.
None of the hospitals patients were in
jured.
The College of Physicians and Surgeons
is the medical department of the University
of Illinois, situated at Champaign, Ill. The
loss on building and equipment is prac-
tically total and will approximate 5000 900.

Failure Due to stoppage of the Dres-
dener AnstaIt and Cassei-Treb-
er-Trocknung Companies.

BERLIN, June 25.-The directors OF the
Leipsiger Bank. at Leipsic. to-day an
nounced that owing TO the stoppage of the
Dresdener Credit Anstalt in consequence
of difficulties in discounting bills the Leip-
siger Bank is compelled in the interest OF
its creditors 10 temporarily suspend pay
ment. The directors say that IL the COM
mitments can be liquidated quietly the
creditors will suffer no loss and the share
holders may hope for a favorable outcome.
The capital of the bank is As. 100000 marks.
The Lokal Anzeiger estimates the liabili-
ties of the Leipsiger Bank at .S5.0o0000 TO
o,oO0,000 marks, against assets amounting
to 100000 marks. The failure is said to
be mainly owing TO the banks close connec-
ton with the Cassel-Treber-Trockn
Company, which has also failed.
The crash OF the Leipsiger Bank was
complete surprise to the Berlin bourse.
where yesterday the banks shares were
quoted at 40. This failure now turns out
10 be worse than at first reported. For
years past the board OF directors of the
Leipsiger Bank have denied the worst fea-
tUre Of the failure, namely, that the I.eip-
siger Bank had practically become the
owner OF the Cassel Treber-Trocknung
Company, which in itself was declared TO
be financially unsound. Well informed Ber-
lin financiers fear that the Leipsiger Bank
will save little If anything out of the wreck
and that the future OF the institution will
seriously affect a number Of other banks.
Immediately after the Leipsig failure be-,
came known here there was almost panic
in bank stocks, including that OF the DARN
staedter National Bank, which fell consid-
erably. Nearly all other values on the
bourse dropped somewhat, while the stock
of the Saxon Bank. the Leipsig Savings
Bank, the Leipsig Mortgage Bank and the
Magdeburg Bank Nerein were struck of
the Berlin quotations. The Fra akfort-on-
the-Main bourse reacted similarly on news
OF the Leipsger Bank failure, all the bank
stock dealt in there losing from s TO 3
points.
The newspapers tonight intimate that
the directors of the Lepsiger Bank will be
criminally prosecuted. The Leipsiger Bank
was founded in 1888. and up 20 the present
time the institution has been highly con-
sidered. The newspapers generally claim
that this new failure. while more far reach
ing than former failures, is not TO be taken
as representative, but that IL is an isolated
case, which in no wise affects the bigger
banks but rather the German provincial
banks The press generally admonishes
caution.
