Capital Savings Bank.

The hearing set for today before Justice
Hagner in Equity Court No. in connection
with the rule requiring the defendants In
the case of William A. Warfield against
wyatt Archer and others to show cause
why receiver should not be appointed to
take charge of the Capital Savings Bank
was postponed until tomorrow. 1t was ex-
planned that by that time an order salts
factory to all concerned may be agreed
upon and in readiness for signing by the
court. The complainant instituted the pro-
ceeding in view of having the court wind
up the affairs of the bank, which recently
suspended payments.
Robert H. Terrell and several others VIII,
are named as defendants today through
Attorneys. Lambert & Baker, filed answer
to the rule to show cause. In general they
assert that the complainant Warfield No
vember IS last, sold the shares of Capital
Savings Bank stock which he had owned
ana Tor that reason. they contend, he is NOT
entitled to maintain the proceedings he has
instituted. 1t Is not true. these defendants
declare, that the bank is in a deplorable
and insolvent condition. The institution
possesses assets Of the value of s123cg0 and
net assets of the value of S:,S, co. the court
Is informed, while all the claims against ft
do not exceed $4,000. These defendants
say they hope that with proper, conserva-
i've management. under the care Of care
1ully selected committees and officers the
depostors will receive all to which thew
may be entitled. 1t is denied that the best
interests OF all concerned would be pro-
NOTED by the appointment of a receiver
A number of depositors and others inter-
ested in the bank met Saturday evening at
the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church
previous meeting had been held when It
was decided to give the stockholders an op-
portunlty to raise the money needed to pay
the depositors. 1t Is stated however that
Saturday night 1t was concluded that as
this chance had not been awaited Of it was
time that receiver be appointed.
This result was reached after a discus
sion which was taken part in by directors
and depositors.
Rev. George Lee, pastor of the church,
was in the chair and Prof. w. Scott Mont
gomery acted as secretary. Robert H. Ter
rill and Prof. Montgomery, both stock
holders. ard the finance director, expressed
their Willingness to assume their share of
making good the amount due to depositors
which was then Appropriated to be $4,000.
Dr. w. S. Lapton, another director, spoke
In the same vein. 1t was estimated that If
each of the thirty-nine stockholders would
contribute $1,000, this result would be Sc
cured.
DR.. w. A Warfield, the stockholder who
has brought suit asking for the appoint
ment of receiver, stated, in reply to a
question, that he believed the sum of $50
was in the bank when the sixty days notice
was served on depostors.

Lutheran Church.

the sixtieth anniversary of the organization
Of st. Pauls English Lutheran Church, at

rulers ever returned q financial remem-
brance, and 1t is said that no one knows
but that part of the funds used for the
erection Of the present house of worship
was a gift from them. In the records Of
the church, however, there is the note that
with other coins placed in the hollow Of the
great value, dated 1894, bearing thereon the
likeness of King Frederick William.

the records Of the old church, bearing the
signatures Of the charter members OF st.
Paurs. A number Of other historical doc
uments were also placed on the tables for
examination by the public.

niversary sermon Genesis, xlvii:s. ''How
old art thou?" He gave detailed data Of tho
history Of Lutheranism In Washington. He
said the records showed that the charter
members OF St Paul's numbered forty,
among them persons of such representative
Washington names as Utermehle. Noerr.
Kern. Schneider. Moore. Woodward and

established The choir; under direction Of
Mr. w; T. Palmer. furnished appropriate
music for the services Of the day.

has been causing much trouble to
Jailer Smith by claiming that he has
been translated" to heaven. Smith
has been trying to get him out of the
notion, but is making slow progress.
Reid has been delivering so many
exhortations since he got into jail
that he can scarcely speak from
hoarseness, but he delivered the fol-
lowing diatribe in weak voice
against himself today: Jim Reid,
you are the durndest old fool that
ever came out of Kendrick, Idaho.
You ought to take yourself over to
the Spokane river and give yourself a
goldarn good ducking. There is no
sense in this conduct which you have
been cutting up in Spokane for two
weeks. What will your friends think
Of you, you blamed old fool? You
know very well when you left home
you promised to come to Spokane,
stay a day or two and go back home
sober, and now here you are in Jail
for about the fourth time. and for
goodness knows how long. Jim Reid,
you are varmint and no good"
Jailer Smith Is attending to Reid
and seeing that he takes medicines
suitable TO his disease. He may be
kept behind the bars some time
until the officers are sure he will be-
have himself and go back home.

T.4JNMAVY HIS PICKED
MCCLELLAN FOR MAYOR

WASHINGTON. March I'm New
making up political budgets a year
in advance of election. That makes
1t possible to tell that Congressman
George Il. Mcclellan is going to be the
democratic nominee next fall for
mayor of the big city. There seems.
also, to be very general impression
among folks who pay attention to
politics that he Is going to be elected,
Mcclellan could have had the nomi-
nation in 1901. but he and his friends
saw the reform movement sweeping
down on the town like "A political tor
nado and Bre'r Mcclellan lay low. 1t
is n matter of history that New York
takes its reform doses singly, and,
therefore. Tammany Is confident that
one of its members will be the next
mayor. Mcclellan has been settled
upon as being perfectly qualified to
serve as the man of the hour. lie
belongs to the bluebloods who live
In mansions on the hill, and he is
popular on the East Side and in low
er New York. He has the confidence
of the business men. and yet is
through -and-through Tammany brave.
Thousands of democrats who sup
ported the reform movement will
swing In line for him. The Bowery
will swear by him.
His ability and his strong personal
qualities have enabled him to reap
high public honors without digging
in political dirt. Croker. like George
Cox and some other political mag
mates, had fancy for numbering
sons of the rich and educated among
his lieutenants. 1t served to give
tone, he thought, to have these young
men mixed with the professional poll
ticians on the ticket. In this way
Mcclellan became Croker protege
and source of strength to the Tam
many leader. Croker has retired, but
Mcclellan is as strong as ever in the
wigwam. Murphy, the present Tam
many leader says that Mcclellan is
to be the next mayor Big Tim"
Sullivan, king Of the East Side and
lower New York, agrees that McClel-
Ian is the man. Heightened demo-
Gratis, who live uptown say he Is ex-
actly the man for the place.
The congressman is the son of Cen
eral Mcclellan of civil war fame. He
is short. stocky, pleasant In manner
and wears the good clothes that dis
tinguish the true New Yorker. He
