INSIDE facts of the wrscking Of the
Allegheny National Bank, of PittsburE,
by William MOI yomtry, an agent OF
the late Senator Quay, vera disclosed
yesterday, showing that the embezzle-
ment was the most complete cleaning
out of an institution in the history Of
bank scandals in Pennsylvsnis. After
every possible asset of the bank had been
exhaustsd, including the building, its
contents, stocks, collateral, ETC., there
will be still deficit of more than $780,
600. By assessing all stockholders 100
per cent according to the individual
liability act, this amount can be reduced
about oue-half, leaving $500, 900 TO be
supplied by the bondsmen. This means
an assessment of about Is per cent. on
the lsttsr. Ii is admit d that number
of the Londsmen and stockholders will
be driven 10 the wall and left pennilsEs.
Men who have been recognized as rich
will be made poor. There is strong
suspicion that Montgomery is taking 3
diplomatic stand. II he should tell all
the truth, it is believed a number Of
Influential men would be so involved that
the scandal would extsnd throughout
the state. By remaining loyal 10 his
sccomplices, Montgomery probably be-
lieves that the men whose regulations
he is spsring will exert their influence
in bis behalf.

NO CHANGE IN INJUNCTION
LAWS.

There will be 10 legislation changing
the Injunction laws at this session OF
C-ngIess. This was decided by The
House republican conference, held last
night. The conference, after three
hours debate, adjourned sine die by a
vote of rs TO GO, and, so far as the
House is concerned, the ma Is dead
issue f(r>this session. II WAS admitted
that such measure would not meet
with approval in tho Senate at this time.
While the vet, taken by the House
republicans amounted, in the final
analysis, to vote against any anti-in-
JUNCTION legislation at this session, ii
also showed the fact that no agreement
could be reached upon any Of the mea-
sures under consideration. A number
Of the members IF the conference favor
ed all of the bills, from the Hepburn
m esspro to The Payne bill, but a suffi-
ciel number of them could not agree
upon any one of these propos ons.
During the debate the House chamber
was excessively hot, and Representative
FAss t. Of New York, tainted lr)m the
effects of the heat. He WAS taken to the
lOtbJ and quickly r,suscitated. He went
back 10 the conference and stayed to
the end.

er Cannon made a sevtrs stack on

can Federation of LaS)r, one of the
most srlent supporters Of the bill. The
argument of the opponents Of the pro-
posed legislation was that 1t was dan
gerOus TO the interests of The country.
The failure of the conference to sd)pt
an snti-iDjnnction measure clears the
way still mere for an early adj )urnment
