RUN ENDED AT FORT WAYNE.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
FORT WAYNE. Ind, Nov. 2.-The ofh-
GERS of financial institutions breathed
easier by noon to-day when the cessa-
ton of excitement due to the run on the
Tri-State concern showed that depositors
were no longer alarmed. There were
few who called for their money and who
signed the sixty days notice of withdraw
al. but the great majority lost their fears
when merchants announced their willing
ness TO accept the evidences OF deposit at
full value for supplies of any description.
The Investment Company Of Northern In
diana also aided to restore confidence by
advertising that it would take the claims
at par in trade fer long list OF unim-
peachable local securities, including bank
stocks, at market value.
The origin of the excitement has not been
located, but it is supposed to have been
partly caused by refusals Of the concerns
to extend loans to certain persons. This
was because the local money market mas
been tight by reason of the unprecedented
building operations which followed the ex-
tension of the street-car lines last spring.
to the Withdrawals to pay for lots Ii
now appears that the stories attacking the
Tri-State's credit have been current Tor
several weeks among the shop men.
An amusing feature or the run was the
success of County Assessor Eggmann in
locating sequestered money. He mingled
unrecognized among the clamoring deposit
ors yesterday and noted names and claims
which were strangers to the tax duplicate.
The excited ones will find themselves COM
PEELED to pay taxes on cash which they
failed to report TO the assessor. One old
German woman told him in response to
his sympathetic words that she had $1,000
in the Tri-State for three years. Penn
sylvania railroad engineer was heard de-
handing 5000, which will hereafter appear
on the tax duplicate The assessor To-
Gated over $50 900 of such money and counts
it fair penalty on the owners for assist
ing In the run.

ELKHART, Ind, Nov. 20.-National Bank
Examiner c. II. Bosworth, of Chicago, has
assumed charge of the affairs Of the In
diana National Bank, temporary re-
ceiver, and Robert Lyon, of the controllers
office in Washington, has arrived to open
the set of receivership books. He is as
sisted by the clerks of the bank. The bank
doors were opened to-day and depositors
were invited by posted notice to turn in
their books of deposit, but the response
was not as general as might have been ex-
pected.
Mr.. Bosworth could not get into the cash
apartment of the vault because the time
lock was found to be set to open tonight.
The explanation is that when the directors
decided to close at the night meeting OF
Wednesday, the lock was so set and 1t was
then forgotten. Bosworth is very reticent.
but it is understood he privately stated he
feared the conditions were very bad.
F. s. Heath, who accompanied him from
Chicago, returned to that city tonight.
Mr.. Heath's special function was not re-
vealed to reporters OF the seventeen
stockholders. twelve are Elkhart residents,
and three of the other five are former resi-
dents. With one or two exceptions, 1t Is
believed all are responsible for a sum equal
to their stock. Some surprise was ex-
pressed to-day when it was publicly called
to notice that Bradstreet took away the
Indiana s. rating two years ago.
The fear that industrial or business IN
situations would follow the crash seems
somewhat allayed, though there is still APP
prehension that two or three receivershlpS
will soon develop. The day has brought
no tangible development as to the real
condition of the banks affairs. Inc other
two banks. already strongly intrenched in
public confidence, very soon passed any
danger of a run that may have existed.

Lines Open Yesterday.

CHICAGO, Nov. 20.-But two points pre-
vented a peaceable adjustment of the Chi
cago City Railway strike to-day and the
indications tonight are that these obstacles
Will be finally overcome and that a settle
ment will be reached tomorrow. A virtual
cessation Of hostilitieS has been declared
by both sides while the present peace nego-
tiations are in progress. and as all the inter-
ested parties appear TO be making every eff
fort to bring the struggle to an end, there
seems likelihood that all differences will
be modified to such degree tina, arbitration
will follow.
Mayor Carter III. Harrison and his alder
manic peace commission, after laboring for
three days. succeeded to-day in getting
representative of each of the contending
parties to meet in conference All the con-
ferences heretofore have been separate, but
at the suggestion of Mayor Harrison this
afternoon the opposing sides agreed to meet.
Col E. r. Bliss. general counsel for the
company, was authorized by President
Hamilton to act for the company. and Clar-
ence S. barrow, counsel for the strikers,
was given authority to act for the strikers.
An hour later the two attorneys held a
conference in the office of Colonel Bliss and
discussed basis of settlement. The result
of the conference will be submitted to the
directors of the road tomorrow morning for
final action. The decision of the board of
directors will then be sent to Mayor Harri-
son and the aldermanic commission, who
VIII submit IL to the executive board of the
strikers union.
After the conference between Colonel Bliss
and Mr.. barrow it was learned that the
company had made two propositions to the
union, Colonel Bliss submitting them to Mr..
barrow. The propositions were:
I1rst-That the company shall have the
right to discipline and discharge its en-
ployes as 1t shall choose but this shall not
be construed to mean that any discrimina-
ton Is made against union men or nonunion
men.
Second-That the company shall formu-
late the methods by which grievances of it's
employees shall be adjusted In the future.
The understanding is that the company
laid down these two proposals as the basic
principles which must be granted by the
union before negotiations could be entered
upon. Mr.. barrow submitted the COM
panys proposition to the union, after which
he said the strikers had accepted the pro-
posal Of the company with immaterial modi-
fications In their turn the men submitted
a proposition on the routing of cars This
is the matter that will come before the board
OF directors of the company tomorrow.
-Four Of the company's trunk lines were
kept open for traffic to-day, the cars being
run under police protection. Since the in
ception of the strike last Thursday no at
tempt has been made to operate the cars
at night, nor have any of the cross town
lines been opened up.

barrooms. or rathskellers. even for exhi-
bition purposes. They are presented to
children in families. just as the English
ard Americans present china and porcelain
cups, with the name of the baby printed
thereon in ornate colored letters. These
small stems, like the large ones, generally
record some incident in German literature,
and sometimes cost almost as much as the
big ones Two dollars for a small stein or
this description is very moderate price
to pay.
All imported stems are porcelain lined.
The cheapest sort, such as are ordinarily
kept on bars Ia ice-packed tubs during the
summer. cost about 10 cents each. There
is heavy duty on them.

DENVER, Col, Nov. 20.-As result of

the strike is practically settled. The local
union Of the coal miners of Louisville, the
