".—To determine the responsibility of the directors ol the wrecked Heal Estate Trust company State Hanking Commissioner Berkey appointed as special bank examiners Charles XI. Vollum and .Meyer Goldsmith, expert registered account ants, who, with the consent of Hecelv er Earle, began a thorough examination of the assets and liabilities. New York, Sept. 7.—When the La Provence steamed down New York harbor, hound for Havre, there stood 011 lier deck one who looked his lust on America, the land of his adoption, fot lie la on Ills way to Leeco, ill Louibafdy, Italy, to commit suicide on the grave of his sweetheart. Havana, Sept. 7.—Unless the government will agree to a new election there is small chance of peace In Cuba. The ablest men among the Insurgents insist that President Pliluia must step down and that his chief otlleeholders must go with him pending a new vote in the several provinces of the republic. It does not seem that any other compromise can he effected. BAD MONEY IS AFLOAT Lulgl Contarlm! Is the mail's name. He Is but twenty-four years old, and Ills return Is In compliance with the wish of Josephine Itallantlnl expressed In her letter to him written just before she drank a fatal potion rather than marry one whom her parents would force upon her. NILE-LONG WATER WAY Commissioner Berkey stated that tire examination should not occupy more than four or five days. Thefr-iw gives the examiners the rigiit to interrogate under oatli any director, ollicla! or employee of tlie trust company or of any other company holding assets of the defunct concern. During the past few years, Air. Berkey declared, practically every director of the Ueal Estate Trust company laid certified to the correct ness of the reports filed by the company with the state banking depart mcnt. These reports, he said, appear to have been false. If his examination sustains the falsity of the reports, .Mr. Berkey declared, lie would proceed against the directors and make an issue of their responsibility, which has never been decided by the courts of this state. General Menocal, who is conducting peace negotiations, commenting 011 the situation, remarked that "peace will be arranged or It will be imposed." lie explained he did not mean that pence would be imposed by force of arms, but that public opinion would compel the Insurgents to submit to the reasonable terms which the veterans will offer 111 ordir to avoid further fighting. The Liberal leaders, however, continue to demand far more than the Moderates are willing to concede. Look Out For Counterfeit Contract Given Out for a Big Half Dollars and Dimes.

Plttston people Who are In the habit of handling silver coins are warned to be on the lookout for counterfeit money. We are informed that thera are a number of counterfeit half-dollars and dimes in circulation In this vicinity. Some of the dimes have been presented at the banks by business men, having been detected by the receiving tellers. The dimes aro now and bright, having a fairly good appearance, but a close inspection reveals that the milling on the edge of the coin has been poorly executed. The half dollar counterfeits are not so numerous, but a few of them have been heard from. System and Will As time sped the parents of Josephine also prospered. They 110 longer sinlled upon the pretensions of Lulgl, but picked out a young man of the village for their son-in-law, and Josephine WaB told that she must become his wife. Take Year to Complete. A waterway thnt will lack only n few hundred feet of a mile in length Is to bo driven under this city to the highest point of Cork Lane, in order to furnish drainage for several mine workings of the Erie company's coal system. The new tunnel will require a year to complete and its cost will not he a great deal under $100,000. On its completion the pumping station at Broad street will be abandoned, according to present plans, and it is expected that the Hillside company will discontinue using the water bed of the sand tunnel for taking care of its drainage from the Butler coljjery. The work is one of the largest of its kind yet decided on by the company, being exceeded only by the tunnel being driven for the same purpose by the same company in Dunmore at a cost of 1150,000. Many business men of Havana ridicule the whole effort at what they call a patched up peace, which, they say, can be 110 more than temporary. Many assert that the country never can lDe governed rightly or Investments be absolutely safeguarded unless the United States Intervenes. This Is frankly said In some cases also by high government officials and brings the retort that those who make such statements are not good Cubans. TROLLY GOSSIP. DIRECTORS ELECTED. Receiver Hopes to Reopen, Josephine wrote to Lulgl and told him her trouble, but she swore that she would remain true to him. She wotlld die flrst, she said. Parental authority was insistent, howler, and the day was set for the wedding. All waltfed the bride, but she came not. Then she was found lying dead, find by her side was the letter to Lulgl. In it she said that she could not live without hltn, and she asked that he Join her In the great beyond. ' Becelver Earle, after a conference with the directors of the trust comipany, issued a statement announcing that he hopes soon to reopen the doors ■of the bank and that all depositors will be protected. Mr. Earle says the rdlreetors have responded to his solicitations to help reorganize the company, but he did not state what amount of money they have guaranteed. Rumors That the l,aeUawanna Will At a meeting of the stockholders of the Avoca bank, held last evening, the following directors were chosen: W. H. Ilolllster, Dr. W. H. Berge, John F. McLoughlin, Edward Laird, E. L. Snyder, Thomas Brown, Thomas Walsh, of Mooslc, Max Gross, Cashier Murphy, of the West Side Bank, Scranton; J. II. Anderson, Harry Friend, of Dupont. John F. McLaughlin was elected president and W. H. Holllster vice president. Some of the stockholders seemed disposed to raise the capital from $50,000, as many people would like to become stockholders, but the proposition was not favorably considered. Sell the Tow 1'atli in Columbia County (Bloomsburg Press.) The rumor developed yesterday and those who claim to know say that the deal is in process of consummation whereby the D., B. & W. Railroad will sell the tow-path, recently acquired from the Pennsylvania Canal Company, from Catawlssa to Northumberland. livery indication, it is stated, points to a successful conclusion of the deal. The question has arised as to whether or not the counterfeit coins are being manufactured in this section. Recently there was some talk of search being made hereabout for a gang of counterfeiters, and the fact that bad money is being circulated in the city arouses suspicion that a private mint Is in operation somewhere In this neighborhood. Receiver Earie's plan of reorganization provides for the reopening of the bank by the payment of 30 per cent In cash to depositors and HO per cent In preferred stock guaranteed by collateral bonds, 40 per cent to be paid within sixty days. The directors of the Real Estate Trust company are to raise the necessary capital to make this set tlement. Despite all these drawbacks, however, the fact that peace proposals are pending and that hostilities have been suspended has brought hopefulness to the people of Havana. Tells Brother of Resolve. When Lulgl received the letter he settled his affairs In Oklahoma and sped to New York. On the way he saw his brother Antonio In New Jersey, to whom he told his resolve. In connection with the foregoing it is not wthout Interest that Division Engineer Ray of the D., L. & W Railroad, E. It. Sponslor, vice president of the Columbia and Montour Eleetrtc Railway and' the promoter of electric lines, and Attorney C. C. Yetter were in conference in Danville during the greater part of yesterday. Added significance is given their conference in Danville in connection with negotiations for the towpath, as rumored when it is stated thut the Danville and Sunbury Electric Railway, by an addition to its charter, has the right of way up along the river from Northumberland to Danville. Liberals 8ay They Want Peace. The Liberal lenders Insist that It Is unjust to regard them us insurgents nnd assert that they are merely seeking for peace, at the same time asserting that not only must the terms of peace l)e better than hitherto talked of, but that there must lie an unquestionable guarantee that the conditions will be carried out to the letter. The Liberals have not relinquished the hope that they may be able to force the resignation of President I'alma and alj tin' high government officials. The succession of Vice President Mendez Capote to the vice presidency Is discussed. Liberals seem to think they could reach an understanding with him that would be satisfactory to all. There is nothing to indicate In any of the recent developments that Mendez Capote Is rt party to this project. CONSTABLES RETURN. OBITUARY. Antonio was on the pier anil begged his brother to reconsider. Lulgl was obdurate. Antonio fell upon his kMMft. He Implored, he prayed. His screams as the vessel pulled out were terrifying, and he was Anally led away. The contract for the new tunnel has just been let to Samuel Hayden, of Dunmorii, but the prlee has nut been made public. It will not be a great deal le?s than the figure given above. C—r- *- Mrs. Ellen Itally The Berwick correspondent of the Bloomsburg Morning Press says: stables who remained in Berwick stabuiary that remained in Berwick returned to the headquarters of Troop B, at Wyoming, yesterday. Everything has been quiet and no arrests wore made in the past two days. Arrangements have been made to send a detachment down at any time they are needed, and if any outbreak occurs a large company will come down quietly and wholesale arrests may be expected." Mrs. Ellen Lally, an aged and respected resident of Inkerman. died this morning at her home, after an Illness of a week. Her husband died 13 years ago. She had resided in this vicinity for many years and had a great many friends. The following children survive her: William and Timothy, of Colorado; Mrs. William Burke, Mrs. William Hoag, Nellie, at home, and Mrs. Thomas Helteries, all of this locality. The following sisters and brother also survive: Mrs. Wilson, of Moosic; Mrs. Derrig, of this city, and Andrew Qulnn, of West Altlipugti Receiver Enrie appear? hopeful of opening the bank at an eitriy (late, many of the creditors express some doubts as to his ability tc do so because of the uncertainty of the Segal sugar refinery here as an asset Mr. Earlo regards it as valuable. II has developed that Segal's equity in the plant Is represented by 40 per cent of the stock. This has been handed tc Mr. Earle, who Is desirous of securing control of the remaining 51 per cent. There are rumors that he intends to bring suit against the American Sugar Refining company, which holds the controlling Interest In the Segal refinery, In n court of equity and also under the Sherman act. Uncertainty About Assets. The tunnel is to be 4,400 feet in length and will pas-? under Mill, Butler and William streets, as well as the cross streets. It will pass through a great bed of sand, which will form the greatest obstacle In the work. Operations are to be started In the near future with as many men as the work will stand, which will not be a great many, 011 account of the small size of the tunnel. And from the tafTrall -Lulgl waved a last farewell to home and hope. Hughes May Accept Nomination. New York, Sept. 7. — Charles B. Hughes, says the Press, will aeoept the Republican nomination for governor If h certain contingency arises— namely, If the Republican leaders decide that Ills candidacy Is required for the party welfare. The growing conviction In all ranks of the party was that the leaders would arrive at such a decision and that, too, perhaps well In advance of the state convention. There was an intimation from a responsible quarter that a public announcement by Mr. Hughes might be forthcoming before many days. It Is not unreasonable to anticipate some Important trolley transactions within the next few months. The dimensions of the waterway are to be 6x8 feet, and its pitch will bo four inches to 100 feet. It will be Started at the river just above Mill street, and the outlet will be seven feet above low water mark. It will strike William street a short distance east of the Catholic church. Mr. Yetter declined to discuss the matter last evening. CHANGE IN FIRM. Plttston, A change in the well known drug firm of Farrer, Peck & Roberts takes place today, Harry W.

Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 7.—Cigarette smoking In bed was declared a crime by Justice of the Peace William Hoi torts. He held Dudley McCalgan, a Phihtdclphlan, without ball on an arson charge because lie dropped a cigarette and set tire to a mattress In a boarding house. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. The suspension of hostilities by General Guzman, the insurgent leader, in the province of Snnta Clara probably averted a severe engagement, as the Insurgent forces under General Guzman and the government troops under Colonel Vnlle had upproaelied close to each other.

The aqueduct will be far below all the streets but Main, on account of its comparatively small pitch. It is expected that it will have to be drilled through rock to the vicinity of William street, when it is thought that a great sand bed will be reached, which will have to be dug through and arched with concrete. The sand bed will have to be contended with for 1,300 feet, it is now estimated, and then rock will again be struck. Gotham to Recover $1,200,000. New York, Sept. 7 —Tlmt the city will receive at least 11,2(10,000 for signing quitclaim deeds to n large amounl of Coney Island property which John Y. MoICnne distributed among his friends when he was in the heyday ot his political power is the confident expectation of Comptroller Metss and Thomaft F.

Tht machinery of the law has been set working to enable the city to get al least one-third of the value of the city land which McKane, before his powei was broken and lie was sent to prison for his political misdeeds, distributed among his friends or sold, even though he could not give deeds for the land. Am Sugar . • Am Car & F Mrs. William Astor Ml. The evidence presented through witnesses by District Attorney Roll at the hearing disclosed the methods by which Segal and Hippie wrecked the trust company. The most damaging testimony was that to the effect that both Hippie and Segal had repeatedly overdrawn their accounts with the knowledge of the treasurer and assistant treasurer. These overdraws were carried as cash accounts. On the day Hippie died there was an overdraft of $(D4,- 000 against the president, which was converted by Coliingwood into a loan, showing Hippie's account to be apparently straight. These overdrafts of Hippie and Segal at times amounted to more than $800,000. There was on deposit in the bank approximately $7,000,- 0(H), and the loans made to Segal amounted to $5,300,200. Many of the securities which have since been found to be insufficient were bonds and stocks in the Segal enterprises and were approved personally by Hippie. Am Loco . . Amal Copper Atchison com H- R.

It is now expected that she will be able to go to her Newport home today. According to the brief statements of the physicians, Mrs. Astor has been suffering from "a slight cold and an attack of indigestion." SPECIAL NOTICES. A detachment of fifty government troops from Clenfuegos encountered a band of General Guzman's insurgents near Camarones. In the fight which ensued the government force was routed, many being killed.

It will carry away ail the surface water of Hutler colliery and will also tap the surface vein. It will also receive the surface vein drainage of No. 10 collieries and of a section of No. 4 colliery. The surface vein water of these collieries is now carried in large part through old workings to the pumping station on Broad street, whence it is pumped to the surface and conveyed to the river. The surface water from the Butler now runs through the old sand tunnel creek and under a culvert, claimed by the city, to the river. It was this culvert that became blocked with culm a short time ago, causing the water to flow into the cellars of Main street stores, which brought from property owners affected threats of damage suits against the city.

".—To determine the responsibility of the directors ol the wrecked Heal Estate Trust company State Hanking Commissioner Berkey appointed as special bank examiners Charles XI. Vollum and .Meyer Goldsmith, expert registered account ants, who, with the consent of Hecelv er Earle, began a thorough examination of the assets and liabilities. New York, Sept. 7.—When the La Provence steamed down New York harbor, hound for Havre, there stood 011 lier deck one who looked his lust on America, the land of his adoption, fot lie la on Ills way to Leeco, ill Louibafdy, Italy, to commit suicide on the grave of his sweetheart. Havana, Sept. 7.—Unless the government will agree to a new election there is small chance of peace In Cuba. The ablest men among the Insurgents insist that President Pliluia must step down and that his chief otlleeholders must go with him pending a new vote in the several provinces of the republic. It does not seem that any other compromise can he effected. BAD MONEY IS AFLOAT Lulgl Contarlm! Is the mail's name. He Is but twenty-four years old, and Ills return Is In compliance with the wish of Josephine Itallantlnl expressed In her letter to him written just before she drank a fatal potion rather than marry one whom her parents would force upon her. NILE-LONG WATER WAY Commissioner Berkey stated that tire examination should not occupy more than four or five days. Thefr-iw gives the examiners the rigiit to interrogate under oatli any director, ollicla! or employee of tlie trust company or of any other company holding assets of the defunct concern. During the past few years, Air. Berkey declared, practically every director of the Ueal Estate Trust company laid certified to the correct ness of the reports filed by the company with the state banking depart mcnt. These reports, he said, appear to have been false. If his examination sustains the falsity of the reports, .Mr. Berkey declared, lie would proceed against the directors and make an issue of their responsibility, which has never been decided by the courts of this state. General Menocal, who is conducting peace negotiations, commenting 011 the situation, remarked that "peace will be arranged or It will be imposed." lie explained he did not mean that pence would be imposed by force of arms, but that public opinion would compel the Insurgents to submit to the reasonable terms which the veterans will offer 111 ordir to avoid further fighting. The Liberal leaders, however, continue to demand far more than the Moderates are willing to concede. Look Out For Counterfeit Contract Given Out for a Big Half Dollars and Dimes.

Plttston people Who are In the habit of handling silver coins are warned to be on the lookout for counterfeit money. We are informed that thera are a number of counterfeit half-dollars and dimes in circulation In this vicinity. Some of the dimes have been presented at the banks by business men, having been detected by the receiving tellers. The dimes aro now and bright, having a fairly good appearance, but a close inspection reveals that the milling on the edge of the coin has been poorly executed. The half dollar counterfeits are not so numerous, but a few of them have been heard from. System and Will As time sped the parents of Josephine also prospered. They 110 longer sinlled upon the pretensions of Lulgl, but picked out a young man of the village for their son-in-law, and Josephine WaB told that she must become his wife. Take Year to Complete. A waterway thnt will lack only n few hundred feet of a mile in length Is to bo driven under this city to the highest point of Cork Lane, in order to furnish drainage for several mine workings of the Erie company's coal system. The new tunnel will require a year to complete and its cost will not he a great deal under $100,000. On its completion the pumping station at Broad street will be abandoned, according to present plans, and it is expected that the Hillside company will discontinue using the water bed of the sand tunnel for taking care of its drainage from the Butler coljjery. The work is one of the largest of its kind yet decided on by the company, being exceeded only by the tunnel being driven for the same purpose by the same company in Dunmore at a cost of 1150,000. Many business men of Havana ridicule the whole effort at what they call a patched up peace, which, they say, can be 110 more than temporary. Many assert that the country never can lDe governed rightly or Investments be absolutely safeguarded unless the United States Intervenes. This Is frankly said In some cases also by high government officials and brings the retort that those who make such statements are not good Cubans. TROLLY GOSSIP. DIRECTORS ELECTED. Receiver Hopes to Reopen, Josephine wrote to Lulgl and told him her trouble, but she swore that she would remain true to him. She wotlld die flrst, she said. Parental authority was insistent, howler, and the day was set for the wedding. All waltfed the bride, but she came not. Then she was found lying dead, find by her side was the letter to Lulgl. In it she said that she could not live without hltn, and she asked that he Join her In the great beyond. ' Becelver Earle, after a conference with the directors of the trust comipany, issued a statement announcing that he hopes soon to reopen the doors ■of the bank and that all depositors will be protected. Mr. Earle says the rdlreetors have responded to his solicitations to help reorganize the company, but he did not state what amount of money they have guaranteed. Rumors That the l,aeUawanna Will At a meeting of the stockholders of the Avoca bank, held last evening, the following directors were chosen: W. H. Ilolllster, Dr. W. H. Berge, John F. McLoughlin, Edward Laird, E. L. Snyder, Thomas Brown, Thomas Walsh, of Mooslc, Max Gross, Cashier Murphy, of the West Side Bank, Scranton; J. II. Anderson, Harry Friend, of Dupont. John F. McLaughlin was elected president and W. H. Holllster vice president. Some of the stockholders seemed disposed to raise the capital from $50,000, as many people would like to become stockholders, but the proposition was not favorably considered. Sell the Tow 1'atli in Columbia County (Bloomsburg Press.) The rumor developed yesterday and those who claim to know say that the deal is in process of consummation whereby the D., B. & W. Railroad will sell the tow-path, recently acquired from the Pennsylvania Canal Company, from Catawlssa to Northumberland. livery indication, it is stated, points to a successful conclusion of the deal. The question has arised as to whether or not the counterfeit coins are being manufactured in this section. Recently there was some talk of search being made hereabout for a gang of counterfeiters, and the fact that bad money is being circulated in the city arouses suspicion that a private mint Is in operation somewhere In this neighborhood. Receiver Earie's plan of reorganization provides for the reopening of the bank by the payment of 30 per cent In cash to depositors and HO per cent In preferred stock guaranteed by collateral bonds, 40 per cent to be paid within sixty days. The directors of the Real Estate Trust company are to raise the necessary capital to make this set tlement. Despite all these drawbacks, however, the fact that peace proposals are pending and that hostilities have been suspended has brought hopefulness to the people of Havana. Tells Brother of Resolve. When Lulgl received the letter he settled his affairs In Oklahoma and sped to New York. On the way he saw his brother Antonio In New Jersey, to whom he told his resolve. In connection with the foregoing it is not wthout Interest that Division Engineer Ray of the D., L. & W Railroad, E. It. Sponslor, vice president of the Columbia and Montour Eleetrtc Railway and' the promoter of electric lines, and Attorney C. C. Yetter were in conference in Danville during the greater part of yesterday. Added significance is given their conference in Danville in connection with negotiations for the towpath, as rumored when it is stated thut the Danville and Sunbury Electric Railway, by an addition to its charter, has the right of way up along the river from Northumberland to Danville. Liberals 8ay They Want Peace. The Liberal lenders Insist that It Is unjust to regard them us insurgents nnd assert that they are merely seeking for peace, at the same time asserting that not only must the terms of peace l)e better than hitherto talked of, but that there must lie an unquestionable guarantee that the conditions will be carried out to the letter. The Liberals have not relinquished the hope that they may be able to force the resignation of President I'alma and alj tin' high government officials. The succession of Vice President Mendez Capote to the vice presidency Is discussed. Liberals seem to think they could reach an understanding with him that would be satisfactory to all. There is nothing to indicate In any of the recent developments that Mendez Capote Is rt party to this project. CONSTABLES RETURN. OBITUARY. Antonio was on the pier anil begged his brother to reconsider. Lulgl was obdurate. Antonio fell upon his kMMft. He Implored, he prayed. His screams as the vessel pulled out were terrifying, and he was Anally led away. The contract for the new tunnel has just been let to Samuel Hayden, of Dunmorii, but the prlee has nut been made public. It will not be a great deal le?s than the figure given above. C—r- *- Mrs. Ellen Itally The Berwick correspondent of the Bloomsburg Morning Press says: stables who remained in Berwick stabuiary that remained in Berwick returned to the headquarters of Troop B, at Wyoming, yesterday. Everything has been quiet and no arrests wore made in the past two days. Arrangements have been made to send a detachment down at any time they are needed, and if any outbreak occurs a large company will come down quietly and wholesale arrests may be expected." Mrs. Ellen Lally, an aged and respected resident of Inkerman. died this morning at her home, after an Illness of a week. Her husband died 13 years ago. She had resided in this vicinity for many years and had a great many friends. The following children survive her: William and Timothy, of Colorado; Mrs. William Burke, Mrs. William Hoag, Nellie, at home, and Mrs. Thomas Helteries, all of this locality. The following sisters and brother also survive: Mrs. Wilson, of Moosic; Mrs. Derrig, of this city, and Andrew Qulnn, of West Altlipugti Receiver Enrie appear? hopeful of opening the bank at an eitriy (late, many of the creditors express some doubts as to his ability tc do so because of the uncertainty of the Segal sugar refinery here as an asset Mr. Earlo regards it as valuable. II has developed that Segal's equity in the plant Is represented by 40 per cent of the stock. This has been handed tc Mr. Earle, who Is desirous of securing control of the remaining 51 per cent. There are rumors that he intends to bring suit against the American Sugar Refining company, which holds the controlling Interest In the Segal refinery, In n court of equity and also under the Sherman act. Uncertainty About Assets. The tunnel is to be 4,400 feet in length and will pas-? under Mill, Butler and William streets, as well as the cross streets. It will pass through a great bed of sand, which will form the greatest obstacle In the work. Operations are to be started In the near future with as many men as the work will stand, which will not be a great many, 011 account of the small size of the tunnel. And from the tafTrall -Lulgl waved a last farewell to home and hope. Hughes May Accept Nomination. New York, Sept. 7. — Charles B. Hughes, says the Press, will aeoept the Republican nomination for governor If h certain contingency arises— namely, If the Republican leaders decide that Ills candidacy Is required for the party welfare. The growing conviction In all ranks of the party was that the leaders would arrive at such a decision and that, too, perhaps well In advance of the state convention. There was an intimation from a responsible quarter that a public announcement by Mr. Hughes might be forthcoming before many days. It Is not unreasonable to anticipate some Important trolley transactions within the next few months. The dimensions of the waterway are to be 6x8 feet, and its pitch will bo four inches to 100 feet. It will be Started at the river just above Mill street, and the outlet will be seven feet above low water mark. It will strike William street a short distance east of the Catholic church. Mr. Yetter declined to discuss the matter last evening. CHANGE IN FIRM. Plttston, A change in the well known drug firm of Farrer, Peck & Roberts takes place today, Harry W.

He held Dudley McCalgan, a Phihtdclphlan, without ball on an arson charge because lie dropped a cigarette and set tire to a mattress In a boarding house. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. The suspension of hostilities by General Guzman, the insurgent leader, in the province of Snnta Clara probably averted a severe engagement, as the Insurgent forces under General Guzman and the government troops under Colonel Vnlle had upproaelied close to each other.

The aqueduct will be far below all the streets but Main, on account of its comparatively small pitch. It is expected that it will have to be drilled through rock to the vicinity of William street, when it is thought that a great sand bed will be reached, which will have to be dug through and arched with concrete. The sand bed will have to be contended with for 1,300 feet, it is now estimated, and then rock will again be struck. Gotham to Recover $1,200,000.

Am Sugar . • Am Car & F Mrs. William Astor Ml. The evidence presented through witnesses by District Attorney Roll at the hearing disclosed the methods by which Segal and Hippie wrecked the trust company. The most damaging testimony was that to the effect that both Hippie and Segal had repeatedly overdrawn their accounts with the knowledge of the treasurer and assistant treasurer. These overdraws were carried as cash accounts. On the day Hippie died there was an overdraft of $(D4,- 000 against the president, which was converted by Coliingwood into a loan, showing Hippie's account to be apparently straight. These overdrafts of Hippie and Segal at times amounted to more than $800,000. There was on deposit in the bank approximately $7,000,- 0(H), and the loans made to Segal amounted to $5,300,200. Many of the securities which have since been found to be insufficient were bonds and stocks in the Segal enterprises and were approved personally by Hippie. Am Loco . . Amal Copper Atchison com H- R.

It is now expected that she will be able to go to her Newport home today. According to the brief statements of the physicians, Mrs. Astor has been suffering from "a slight cold and an attack of indigestion." SPECIAL NOTICES. A detachment of fifty government troops from Clenfuegos encountered a band of General Guzman's insurgents near Camarones. In the fight which ensued the government force was routed, many being killed.

It will carry away ail the surface water of Hutler colliery and will also tap the surface vein. It will also receive the surface vein drainage of No. 10 collieries and of a section of No. 4 colliery. The surface vein water of these collieries is now carried in large part through old workings to the pumping station on Broad street, whence it is pumped to the surface and conveyed to the river. The surface water from the Butler now runs through the old sand tunnel creek and under a culvert, claimed by the city, to the river. It was this culvert that became blocked with culm a short time ago, causing the water to flow into the cellars of Main street stores, which brought from property owners affected threats of damage suits against the city.
