Cont. nuous Line of Depositors
Draw Savings from St.
Louis Banks.
INSTITUTIONS ARE ALL SOL VENT
,nclpient Scare Believed over-Report
Said to Have Come from Chicago.
Corridors and Street Filled With
People Eager to Withdraw Money.

st. Louis, Oct 2S.-F'rom shortly be-
fore l o'clock Tuesday until the clos
ing hour. o'clock. runs were made on
the savings departments of three
banks in ST. louis, and at the same
time more than the ordinary amount
OF Withdrawals by savings depositors
were noticeable in the other banking
institutions. The run, so far as it can
be traced, was started by disquiet-
ing rumor from the outside that seem
ed to strike st. Louis shortly after
noon, to the effect that the savings in
stitutions here were unsound With a
rush the corridors of the Lincoln Trust
company, the Mercantile Trust conf
pany and the Mississippi Valley Trust
company were filed with men and
women, all eager to withdraw their
money.
Scene Duplicated in Other Banks.
The scene in any one bank was du-
plicated in the other two. A line Of
people with bank books in their hands
and faces eagerly scanning the little
barred windows of the bank tellers
stretched out into the street, and in
termingled were policemen and bank
officials counseling ealmness and CIV
ing assurances of solvency.
1t is stated that the rumor that
and was to the effect that two direc.
tors Of the Mississippi Valley Trust
company had recently endeavored 20
negotiate a loan of 100000 in that
city and had been refused This ru-
NOR was pronounced an absolute
canard by the directors concerned.
AS soon as the runs started all other
business was laid aside and every ia
cility was afforded for the prompt pay
ment of deposits. The clauses which
give the banks privilege of withhold
ing payment until 10 days after notia-
cation was waived and amounts were
paid rapidly, regardless of their size.
No Disorder Manifested.
There was no disorder manifested at
any Of the institutions, and in many
cases depositors who had hurried to
withdraw amounts departed without
their money after having eonversed y
few moments with the officials and
been made confident that the bank
| would continue to do business.
At the Missouri Trust company a
number of depositors had collected to
demand payment, but the crowd soon
thinned out and before 8 o'clock the
incipient run had ceased. Presidents
of the different national banks assem-.
bled during the afternoon and Issued
a statement in which they announced
that the banks of st. Louis are all per-
fectlg solvent and amply able to liqri-
date all demands.
All the banks closed at 8 o'cock, the
usual closing hour, and announcement
was made that they would open this
morning at the usual hour, 10 O'Clock,
and will meet all demands made.
The directors of the different trust
companies have decided to enforce the
80 and 60-day notification clause, and
| this, 1t IS believed, will doubtless stop
all tendency to continuation of runs.

Mayor Investigating Case.
Youngstown, O., Oct 28.-After strug-
Cling for 20 minutes with the men and
boys who would have saved him had
they been able, Howard Moody Mon
day night jumped from the Market
street viaduct, so feet, to his death.
Moody was going home with Charles
Morgan He told him that he was
going to commit suicide and Morgan
tried to stop him. Four times Moody
climbed to the top of the railing and
tried to jump off. He was finally sue
cessful in his struggle with the crowd
that gathered, and an hour after his
jump he died in the hospital. He was
"a years old
A short time afterward Morgan was
arrested His story was heard by
Mayor Gibson and it was decided te
hold him for a further hearing Morgan
is alleged to have said finally:
ooh, well, if you want to jump off
do it, and hurled Moody's hat over
the railing Then, according to the
claims of the spectators, he threaten
ed to shoot anyone who interfered
with Moody. Moody's suicide was
caused on account Of trouble between
his father and mother, which resulted
in a divorce

CONDITIONS ARE NOT ALARMING
SAYS buns Review, the Country's Most
authoritative Financial Journal.

Dun's Review, the leading financial
journal OF the country, says of the
business conditions of the past week.
Failure Of several banking institu-
tions reflects the fall Of prices IN Sc
curities, and should be considered the
logical aftermath of the protracted
depression in speculative channels
rather than any evidence of current
weakness in the industrial or trade
situation. Funds were quickly for
warded to the disturbed centres and
confidence promptly restored, although
it was impossible TO prevent some
contraction of business. Numerous
labor controversies have appeared, and
more furnaces and mills have closed,
the tendency being TO operate only the
plants provided with the most mod
ern equipment. There is no anxiety
regarding legislation at the special
session Of congress, aud, despite The
curtailment OF activity in many man
ufacturing lines, a heavy volume of
business is being transacted. Taking
the country as whole, conditions
may be considered fairly satisfactory,
although there are indisputable EVIL
dences that abnormal activity has re-
ceiyed a check. Jobbing trade has
become more quiet with the advanc-
ing season, and at many points the
weather is not calculated To maintain
buying Of wearing apparel at retail.
Gross earnings of the railways thus
far reported for October surpass last
years by 6.3 per cent, and those OF
1901 by 1876 per cent. Bank exchanges
at New York for the week were 3l.9
per cent below 1901, but at other lead
ing cities there were gains of % and
1913 per cent, respectively.

sentenced by Judge Mason to a
years confinement in the peniten-
tiary at Moundsville. His attorney,
NJ. Pope Theodorotf made a strong
plea for the courts clemency, urging
that the evident intent of the jury
in finding the prisoner not guilty OF
malicious cutting, and guilty of
unlawful cutting, was to save Peluso
from the pen. Judge Mason did not

LIGHT SENTENCE
For Robert observation-disclosures
for new Trial Overruled.

Judge Mason Would not set Verdict
Aside - Thought Witnesses Were
Trying to Shield Some 0ne-Yerdict
For Keck-Boyd Fined S25-0ther
Court Matters.
Judge Mason this morning oYerruled
the motion to set aside the verdict OF
the Jury, which found Robert McClel-
land guilty of assaulting young Jolliie.
In doing this he said that although
six witnesses had testified that Nc
Clelland was not guilty, the jury had
apparently attached little weight to
their evidence.
The crime was a heartless, brutal,
unfeeling one, he SAID, and II he were
absolutely certain that McClelland
was the guilty one, he would make
the punishmtnt very severe. There
could be no doubt that some one had
kicked JolIiffe. 1t had seemed to him
during the trial that the witnesses for
the defense had been trying to shield
some one. When this was done, II
unusually happened that The jury did

present case was an instance la point.
Inasmuch as he was not altogether
certain that McClellaud was the man
who kicked Jolliffe, he made the pun
ishment light by timing him SIS and
costs.
Judge Mason overruled the motion
OF the defendant for a new trial IN the
case OF the State VS. Caleb Boyd. The
motion was based on the allegation
that Oakley Henry, one OF the jurors,
had held conversation with DAME
Breakiron, one of the witnesses, in re-
gard to the trial while it was in pro
gress. Both filed affidavits during
this. Boyd was fined $25 and costs

Contractors Rinehart and Denis
are to start moving their men from

vile where they will be put to work

Wabash into Fairmont as quickly
as possible 1t is said that it will

Material may then be sent from
Baltimore and Pittsburg into the
region in question and this part will
be allowed to wait on the compile

1t is stated that all of the men in
this section will be sent on to the
Moatsville aud Belington neighbor
hood. Work will be sus pended for
the moment on the two tunnels but
it will be resumed and the tunnels
built as quickly as men and machin
cry can do it.
