FIGHT SHY OF INSURANCE.
American Bankers Reject scheme
to Protect Members from Dis
honest Acts Of Employee.

New York, Sept 15.-A feature or
the annual convention Of the National
Bankers association in this city was
q spirited discussion Of what has been
known as the fidelity plan. This mat
ter figured in the proceedings Of the
associations convention at San Fran
cisco last year and involved the ques-
ton Of the organization entering into
fidelity insurance business. The de-
bate was evoked by proposed amend
ment to the constitution providing for
the appointment of trustees by the
executive council of the body for the
administration of a fund to be termed
1.-THE American bankers guaranty
fund" this fund to be devoted to the
insurance of members against any dis
honest acts by their employees. The
convention voted the proposal down.
President Bigelow, in his annual ad-
dress, said that true history Of the
association and the work Of many Of
its members would probably show that
it had a considerable influence in keep
ing this country on sound basis and
he believed that all able and thought
full men of to-day, with little regard
to party, would see to 1t that in all
public discussion and all considerate
judgment, the present standard shall
be deemed to be settled for good.
1--WE have greater wealth" he said,
land mere resources than ever be-
fore, and the way we have weathered
what has come lately in this usual
period Of readjustment has strength
ened my conviction that the panics OF
1873 and 1893 can hardly be repeated
in this country. OF course, with $685.
900, 900 of demand notes Of the gov
eminent outstanding and an enormous
stock Of silver whose circulation Is
only enabled by the device of silver
certificates and only a bank currency
secured by bonds, we can hardly DO
said to have a currency system"

INJURIES OF TWO SERIOUS.
Other Passengers Of Pullman Escaped
Lightly.

Other Passengers Of Pullman Escaped
Lightly.
Reports from junction City say
that two OF the passengers who were
in the Union Pacific wreck near Kan
sas Fails yesterday afternoon are seri-
ously hurt. Both are from Provi-
dence, r. l., and are on their way
home from the Knights Templars
conclave. The others are only
bruised.
The first section Of the wrecked
train, the part that did not leave the
track, reached Kansas City at S:16
o'clock last night. None Of the In
jured was on this train. According
to stories told by the passengers,
they did not know an accident had
happened until they came to a stop.
Then cries Of the injured attracted
their attention. The rear sleeper
was on its side in the ditch. Very
close to it was the second sleeper, of
its trucks, but still on the embank-
ment. Two hundred and fifty feet
down the track lay the third sleeper.
In the position the rear sleeper was
lying, Its occupants were prisoners.
The car had fallen In such q manner
tina. the exit passageways were on
top, several feet from the down side
Of the car. The window lights were
broken and some Of the uninjured
from the rest Of the train climbed up
on the car and dropped down inside.
As carefully as possible those who
were hurt were handed up and taken
out.
The knight Templar special which
was following backed up to Abilene
where the party took supper. 1t was
the opinion Of those who visited the
wreck that the rear Pullman did not
turn over twice" as reported, but
simply went on Its side into the ditch.
"Nsither the air or smoke pipes on
the roof were broken and the roof
was not scratched" said one Of the
Knights. The track was repaired
about 10 O'Clock and traffic was re-
sumed.
