A COMPLETE WRECK.
Cashier Sherman Took Every
thing His Bank Had.
Deficit Of $326,093.49 and Only
$150.64 in Cash on Hand,
Depositors in Merchants Bank Of New
port Lose All.

Providence. r. L., July IA dep,orable
the report of the commission appointed
by Governor Kimball, after the attempted
suicide of Cashier Anthony S. Sherman,
to inquire into the standing of the Mer-
chants Bank of Newport. A more COM
plete wreck is scarcely conceivable. The
deficit is shown to be 1926 o93. 40, and aside
from the bank property which is valued
at $500, scarcely sl56V worth of value re-
mains. The entire amount of cash on
hand out of the 500 ,565 worth of capital
stock and deposits was only $15O.64.
No further attachments will be placed
on the property, and steps will immedi-
ately be taken to place the bank in liqui
dation.
Cashier Sherman shot himself June II,
and died Il week later. Immediately after
the attempt at suicide the stockholders
petitioned Governor Kimbau to appoint
a commission which should determine the
exast state of affairs and this request
was readily acceded to.
The depositors will lose practically ev
erything, and whether the deficiency
shown to exist in the bank covers the en-
tire populations has not yet been deter
mined for the reason that no statement
as to Cashier Sherman's personal ac-
counts is available. 1t is understood that
large amount of money was given over
to the cashier at various times for in
vestment.
The commissions statement of the re-
sources and liabilities of the bank include
the figures: Resources, notes and bills,
discounted, estimated good, $6SO.3O; over
drafts, on book, sS4o9.46; estimated good,
$50; bills receivable. pledged in excess of

Cured. Tuesday, at the William A. Col
iery at Duryea. Antonio Guisiepe. an
Italian. was shot dead by one of the Coal
and Iron policemen from behind the
stockade OF the coliery.
Reports differ as to the cause of the
shooting. The friends OF the dead man
say he was walking on the road near the
stockade when he Was fired upon. The
man was on his way from Scranton tC
Duryea at the time. Another report IS
that the Italian tried to get over the
fence and would not heed the warming
from the policemen to go away. He in
sisted on making his way into the stock
AIDE and was fired upon.
There is much Indignation over the
shooting and the sheriff of I.ackawannd
county was summoned to take steps to
preserve order, as it was reported that
there would be an uprising among the
foreigners and that they would attack the
stockade before night
The body lay in the roadway for some
time. The Coal ana Iron police would not
venture outside the stockade to remov-
it and the people living in the vicinity
did not want to take it away until the
arrival of the coroner. When the sheriff
of Lackawanna county reached the scene
he ordered the body removed to an I'M
dertaking establishment.

a battle of words was waged. Spooner
delivered a scathing denunciation of the
minority of the Philippine committee for
what he declared was an attack upon the
American army.
Carmack denied that any attack had
been made upon the army and declared

ny and any parrot could be taught to re-
peat it.

IT IS DOUBTFUL
IL Local Applications Alone Ever Cured "A
Case of Catarrh.

IL Local Applications Alone Ever Cured "A
Case of Catarrh
Most remedies for the treatment of
catarrh are in the form of sprays, in
halers. powders. washes or salves, all
purely local applications, and many
of them often give temporary relief,
but the reason none of them ever
really cure chronic catarrh is because
catarrh is not n local disease and it
cannot be cured simply by treating
the local symptom.
Moreover, the more serious forms
of catarrh. like catarrh OF the stom-
ach and catarrh of the bronchial
tubes, cannot he reached at by local
applications, and the fact that neg
| lected catarrh of the head very soon
involves the bronchial tubes. stomach
and liver. demonstrates that the dis
ease is n blood disorder. constitu-
tional malady and not at all a local
| disease.
! To really cure catarrh the system
must be cleansed from catarrhal poi
| son by an internal remedy which acts
effectively upon the blood and liver.
The success of Il new catarrh rem
edy, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, is be-
| cause il drives out of the system,
through natural channels, the ca
tarrhal poison and the mucous lining
of the nose, throat and trachae are
| freed from the excessive mucous
which collects and causes the hawk
ing. splitting and gagging. because the
excessive secretion is not furnished
from healthy blood.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain
many of the same valuable antiseptics
used in sprays and inhalers. but in
stead of being applied to the infiamed
membranes of the nose and throat
| they are taken into the stomach and
thus reach the blood, the real seat
and cause of the disease.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large
pleasant tasting loZenges, composed
of red gum, hydrastan, bloodroot ana
similar catarrh specifics, and so saft
to take that little children suffering
from colds take them with same ben
eficial results as adult persons.
No trace of cocaine or opiates, Sc
common in catarrh medicines, can be
found in Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.

According to the yearly custom of

"Over a century and a quarter has
