MORE LOSS FOR DEpOsITORs.
A Stock Broker in Chicago Goes
Into Bankruptcy to Aveid
$500 900 Claim.

During the last years of his life, Cash
Ter r. X. Croker specialized mostly
through the firm of Chapman-Degalyer,
of Chicago, and his private letters and
receipts have disclosed since his death
that he paid to the firm for gambling in
stocks something over half million
dollars within the past few years. A
good bulk Of this was of course during
the last few days Of his life, when he
was meeting the fearful margins in the
decline of the stocks that he held, some
times $4,000 and $4,000 day. After
MIR. Crocker's death, Receiver Bostwick,
Immediately took steps to recover all
the money possible from the Degalyer
firm, as under the law such money can
be taken back, if the broker or his firm
has assets sufficient to meet it. AS soon
as Degalyer found that he was liable for
the return of the money. he sold his
seat on the New York Stock Exchange,
where he had branch office. That was
shortly after MIR. Crocker's death, and
was the first warning that the Comp
troller and Receiver Bostwick had that
Degalyer was trying to get away from
them. After the change in the receiver
ship here, Judge Vincent, of Chicago,
took charge of the prosecution of Degal-
yer, and got him in such close quarters
that last Thursday Degalyer went into
bankruptcy, which means that he will
avoid the payment of the claims of the
First National here, and the depositors
will get nothing from him. This takes
away another hope of increasing the
probable dividend from the bank, unless
Degalyers partner, Mr.. Chapman, can
be held for part of the amount. De-
galyer listed his assets at $3.50 and his
liabilities at 100000, but Chapman is
said to be we'll off.-Chariton Herald.

Coed Business.

George Is. C~ortelyou, the secretary
Of the treasury, was talking at a dim
ner about the recent panic.
There's a story about a we'll known
railroad man in the panic thai is al
most too good said Mr.. Cortelyou.
This man Is k~indhearted, and he was
deeply moved by a letter that n country
parson wrote him hen things were
looking their worst.
THE letter ran like this:
Dear Sir: As the pastor OF -
church my ain has always been invest
ment and not speculation. Regarding
your railroad as a sound business I'M
stitutiOn, solid as a rock, In 1904, | pur-
chased 400 Of its shares at LOG. sinking
my little all In them and a great deal
more. They have now fallen TO So
and | en- undone. My congregation /
cannot face as a bankrupt and at my
age years-what am I to do? I
throw myself upon your mercy
Well" said Mr.. Cortelyou. the
banker read this letter several times
and each time his pity for the poor old
parson increased. Finally calling in his
stenographer, he wrote to the man that.
considering all the painful circum-
stances OF the case, he would himself
buy back the 400 shares at LOG. the price
the parson had paid for them.
Immediately on receipt of this gem
erous letter the parson wired to h;s
brokers: -
Buy 400 Dash Railways at Sc and
send same round to Dash's president.
VINO VIII give you LOG for them"
