TlME-L0cK SET BIG
BANK TO BORROWING
Phoenix National Had TO Hustle to
Get a PaItry $16,ooo--$1ysf5s
600 In Cash Was In Vault.

Though solid as rock, the Phoenix Ma.
tional bank Of No. 81 Wall street. had to
do business on credit yesterday, according
to the New York World.
This was simply because somebody on
Saturday afternoon set the time lock on
the big vaults for SIS p. m. yesterday
instead of $50 a. m. The result was that
the bank found itself practically without
funds in the morning.
Locked UP in the safe was s1,S15,eo0 in
cash, TO say nothing of notes and collater-
al worth much more than that amount.
A hurried consultation Of the banks ofti-
GERS was called.
A safe expert was summoned. He was
asked how long IL would take to open
the vault. He told the gentlemen present
that II would take all day, and that great
damage would be done 10 the expensiv9
machinery governing the time lock and
to the steel walls Of the safe.
Then 1t was decided not TO open the
safe by violence. but to walt until the
afternoon, when the lock would allow it,
self to be opened. Then the objects hur-
ried out into Wall street to raise funds
for the days business. When the plight
OF the Phoenix was learned there were
many offers Of cash.
Meanwhile deposits were flowing IN, ana
this cash was used to Offset withdrawals.
In ordinary business 4 banks deposits
cash. Most Of the business both ways -
done by check.
But there was the clearing house Bali
ance to be met. This must be settled every
day in ready money. II there Is q ball
ance against bank II must pay up II
there is money coming the clearing houss
pays equally promptly. Yesterday there
was a balance OF $4,000 against the Phoe-
nix, but ft only needed a friendly cal
down the street to raise the funds ana
meet the balance.
eft was very lucky for US" said Cashier
Bull last night, that the vaults were
closed On a Saturday. That was a half
holiday and business was very light. We
had TO have very little cash today to
make good our clearing house balance.
and our deposits about equalled our with
drawals.
But all our papers were locked up TOO
and IL made II hard TO do business For
tunately, the books were in another vault.
which was opened at the proper time 50
we were not completely tied up"
Everybody in the bank waited around
until after closing time to see that the
vaults were opened. At 5:15 p. m. there
was a click inside the works, and when
Mr.. Bull turned the knobs the vaults
opened as easily as the door to q doAs
house. r--ssc .t
Then the lock was carefully reset for
$50 a. m today.

THAT PAPERS HE FILED
HAVE BEEN SENT TO
AMBASSADOR.

WASHINGTON. July 2S.-Some weeks
ago Senator Penrose filed with the presl-
dent papers which he asserted tended to
substantiate the charge made by Mr..

trouble in Mexico, against United States
Ambassador Powell H. Clayton, to the
effect that the ambassador was directly
interested to the extent of 100 shares in
a mining corporation antagonistic to
Mealy's claims.
The papers were referred to the state
department and now the senator has been
informed by Acting Secretary Hill that
the department has decided to send them
to the City of Mexico, inviting Mr.. Clay
ton to examine them and make a report.
The case OF Mealy was one Of two
referred to in the stirring debate in the

encounter between Senators Bailey and

of the convicts working in them could be
improved. Mr.. Clute made an extensive

"a ONES. gig

A new style postal card has been issued
by the postoffice department in honor Of
the late President Mckinley. The Atlanta
postofflce will soon receive its allotment,
when they will be placed on sale.
The new cards We're to have been Is
sued earlier in the year, but the first de-
sign submitted was not satisfactory and
another was ordered, This has, Of course.
caused delay.
The new card is of exactly, the same
size as the one now in use, but is, on
the whole, an improvement over the old
issue. It is to be Of better quality Of
paper, although it is somewhat thinner,
and will therefore give better writing
surface The printing on the address side
is better arranged and presents a palmer
and more business-like appearance.
On the old card there is considerable
scroll work around theaportrait OF Jeffer-
son. There is merely a plain line around
that of Mckinley and the words, Post
age one cent. 1S43-McKlnley-l901- This
is printed in plain type outside Of the
line around the portrait.

wavy cancellation lines will pass across
the portrait of Mckinley but the name
Of the mailing office, dates and other

SUMTER'S TAX RETURNS
SHOW BIG INCREASE

AMERICUS, Ca, July 90.-Tax Collec-
tor Dunn finished on yesterday his COM
pilation OF the tax digest Of Sumter coun-

amount of property in the county was
$s7, S5O.2S against S47,0TS.S3 for 1901. showing
on increase in the aggregate amount of
property of S27,1A5.
An interesting fact is that the returns
against 294,2O2, or an increase Of 7,02S
acres in the county according to the
returns OF the current year, against that
of last year. This is an excellent showing
and though the county has been on no

TAX DIGESTS CONTINUE TO
SHOW BIG INCREASES

Several tax digests were received by
Comptroller General Wright this morn
ing, majority Of them showing a de-
crease. Instead Of an increase in the prop
erty returns, 1t begins to look as If there
will be a decrease.
Comptroller Wright and Governor Can
dler are very much disappointed over the
outlook. and unless there is a big increase
from some of the large counties 1t may be
that the returns will show a decrease of
several million dollars instead of an in
crease OF 10000. co., as was expected at
the beginning Of the year.

BARKEEPERS RESPONSIBLE
FOR INJURY TO PATRON

OMAHA, Neb., July 29.-According to
decision Of the United States court of APP
peals, which affirmed the judgment of the
plaintiffs Of the federal court of Nebraska,
a saloon-keeper may be held responsible
for the death of a patron of his place in
the event that the death occurs from an
accident resulting from the inebriated
condition of the patron.
The suit was filed by the widow and
daughter of Charles Walker, against John
Moser an others who were engaged in
the saloon business at Ashland, Neb.
Plaintiffs charge that Charles Walker, in
1900. drank intoxicants at Moser's saloon
and in consequence was thrown from
buggy and killed. A verdict giving the
plaintiffs damages was appealed.
