DEALINGS WITH THE KEYSTONE BANK.

Tho llclatloun of Ills Firm He Snyt Were of an Ordinary Iluilneaa Character— llld Couildeuoo Orouly

Abused.

GOT TIIK WOHBT OF IT.

PHILADELPHIA, June 9.—After being attacked from all quarters rogarding his connection with tho defunot Keystone bunk Postmaster-General \Vrna: maker Monday went before the city oounull Investigating committoo and mado a statement. The statement was thorough and took tip his oonnectlon with the bank In all Its details. In bis statement the postmaster general said!

The llrin of John Wauamakcr had an aocounf ""li the Koygtone bunk. On this aocount the cheoks oi tho llrm were drawn. Tho Arm account, by arrangement with tho bank, was made responsible for Mm. Wanumakor's chocks upon tUo bank, which for convcnlenoo wore kept In a separato account. It was substantially one account under two heads. Mrs. Wanamakcr's aooount could not Bo overdrawn, while the llrm account had a balanoo to Its credit. Though our oontldenco at tho time of tho run In Uooomber was unshakon as business mon it was, of eoursc, more or less Impaired after the run. We kept up our deposits straight through tho panic. At tho time the bank olosed our total deposits had amounted to 11,863,81*1.79. "I havo not been active In tny incrcantllo business since March, 1889, and know but lit. tie of tho details. From tie best Information I havo tho highest amount (if single-name paper was 150,000, up to February, 189a In 1- ebruory, 1890, In addition to this I had a discount of 180,000 for ttvo months, which was understood to bo personal to mo Individually ot tho time I received It. Any discounts boyond this arc not properly chargeable to our aooount, and may arise from tho following cl»cuintstaocest •'On one oocaslon Mr. Marsh called on us without solicitation, saying that he wanted MO,000 of our paper, not for the Keystone bank, but, as wo understood, for oountry banks or ottwr of the bunk's correspondents. We gave It to him. For some time we pressed tho bank to turn over the proceeds, and finally got them by piecemeal. Dcfore this papor was paid we learned that it was In tho Kcystono bank, gnd wo had an Intimation that It had boon secured from us under somo pressure for use at tho oloarlng houso. For these loans we paid a per ocnt. Interest, and they were all paid off as they became due. I did hot know that my brother had entered ball for

Mr.

Marsh until I read tho fact In the new*, papers whllo tn tho .rost traveling."

Concerning the bogus stock, Mr. Wauamakcr said he thought John C. Lucas, tho former president of the bank, was a rich man, and asked him to go Into a deal on Reading railroad stock. Mr. Wanamaker saidi "The agreement between us was verbal and to this effect, that Mr. Lucas was to personally supply certain sums ot money, as I called for them, and deposit the same to my porsonal account in tlio Keystone bank. In accordance with that agreement from time to time I drew checks on that account to the extont of about MO,000 against tho money which I bollcved was deposited by him, as per understanding. Upon several occaslo'ns when I notified Mr. Lucas that under our ngroomcnt money was needed ho brought ""TOO stock of tho Keyotono bank, whtoh ho requested me to uso in lieu ot the money, as it was not convenient for hlm to furnish cash at tho tlmo. As a rosult, wben he died I had in my possession 8,515 shares of tho Kcystono bank, so received by mo from him. "After his death I found that he bad not made the deposit* to my orodlt, as bo agreod, and that my account stiod overdrawn, when

I discovered this I could not find any explanation, and attributed It to somo oversight. I Immediately mado tho account good by Closing it with commercial paper reoclvcd ID my buslnoss, which was all duly paid. Mr. Lucas, therefore, did not la reality furnish ponny to mo for tho purohase of the Reading stock that I hold, and all 1 had for his Bharo in the operation was the ocrtlflcates of Stock ot the Keystone bank left with me as collateral. "I hold this bank stock subject to an adjustment of tbp account, and Mr. Marsh and Mrs. Luoas called on mo In relation to it, but no settlement was mado, though tho former was very urgent No Intimation was given that tho stock was irregularly issued until Mr. Marsh shortly after the run on tho bank In December lust oallcd It In question and desired to huvo tho stock returned to the bank. This I decllnod to do, first, booausc I had not obtained it from tbe bank, but from John (X Lucns individually as his private property secondly, becauso I did not bellevo the stock la my possession was overissued, and no proofs woro over offorcd that such was the case and thirdly, because I was by no means certain that If tho stock was overissued as etatod my title against the bank would be In any way affected. I simply considered the statement aB an extreme effort to get possession of tho stock wbloh 1 felt justly entitled to retain. I maintained this position until the bank was closed, ond then, recognizing that the stock had no moneyed valuo and being further assurod that if It was surrendered to the Lucas estate It would holp In the rehabilitation of tbe bunk, I saw nothing to be gained by retaining It and therefore surrendered It wben It was requested. "About 8 o'olock tbo ulght preceding tho day tho bank closod Mr. Marsh callod on mo In Washington to say that ho had been to the comptroller and Informed him of his doubt about tho (took and asked me whether I could In any way bolp tho bank. I said 'No* and tbo Interview clossd In threo minutes. I had no communication with a living being between tbat time and the closing of tho bank."

In an exhaustive cross-examination Mr. Wtinaraaker said that the stook had been bought at about 822 per share and that Lucas had advanced, as he supposed, 81,000,000 as his share of the deal, as so represented by the 2,015 shares of stock. When Lucas died Wanomaker shouldered the entire responsibility. It Is said that he is carrying a good part of the stock to-day, which la worth 815.

Bank Examiner Drew in his testimony said that tho now fugitive president of the bank (Marsh) haii first told him of the overissued stock and that he told Marsh it must be returned. This took two weeks, which Mr. Drew explained by saying that much timo ond work were necessary to get the stock together. Mr. Drew said that without the confession of Marsh he would not have discovpred the deficit tn the bank by means of the books. Mr. Drew said that Marsh was not arrested before he was becauso ho was being used to obtain for the bank the money duo it by the Lucas estate. In conclusion Mr. Drow said be still thought tho assets of tho bank would bo enough to pay the depositors dollar for dollar. When asked if ho Included the 8080,000 In duo bills held by Mr. Bardsley as among the liabilities of the bank Mr. prow said ho did not, us there was no trace of the inonoy ever having been put Into tUo bank, iie placed the total lia­

Drowned—Many Cattle Lnt ST. LOUIS, June 9.—Dispatches from

several points along the Bed river in Texas Indicate that tbit stream is on the rampage. At Gainesville it is above the hlghwater mark and information comes from above that place that the rise was very rapid and unexpected and many peoplfe barely escaped with their Uvea All communication with the Indian territory has been out off and It will be some time before the damage can be repidred. Messengers from Burling Slate that tho river is running wild in that section, with destruction to property and some lives lost north of Doss, on the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway. D. T. Hai ris, a stockman, lost 400 head of cattle and fifty-five horses. .The damage done In tho territory can only be surmised, as all communication is cutoff. A dispatch from Belcher says that the Red river, which runs 8 miles north of there, Is on one of the greatest rampages ever known. Friday afternoon about 1 o'olock a volume of water 10 feet high came rushing down the valley, bearing trees, brush, housetops, dead animals and debris of all kinds, and In thirty minutes the whole valley was one vast sheet of water. Crops of all kinds near the river are all under water and mud, and great damage will result During a heavy rain at Chillicothc, Tex., two employes of W. P. Lindsay and two strangers who were camped near the bridge at that place were drowned.

Ptrr TO

DEATH.

NEW YORK, June 9.—'Tho. West In» dlan steamer Orange Nassau, which has just arrlvad In port, brought the first deflnlte new* ot the bloody iusurreotion which oocurred at Port »u Prinoe In Rayti on May 88. The outbreak was much more serious than was at first reported and the •ntire western department of tho island is now under martial law. President Hifpolyte, whose government was threatened by the insurrectionists, has taken the most vigorous means to put down the rebellion and many of the rioters have been executed. The exact number of these who have been put to death is unknown, but aeoordlng to the story tol& by the mesratgors on the Oranje Nassau, between fifty and one hundred had .already been executed when the vessel left Port au Prlnoo on June 8. The executions wore still going on at that time, and every day new victims were taken from the prison and shot down by liippolyte's soldiers. The town of Port au Prince Is said to be In an utterly demoralized condition and business of every kind Is suspended pending the settlement of the trouble. The law courts arc also suspended by order of Hlppolyte, and private cltlKens, on whatever charge they may be arrested, are tried by court martiaL the revolt occurred on the morning of Thursday, May 18. A party of half a hundred citizens, armed with guns and other weapons, made an attack upon the prison at Port au

Prince, where more than £00 political prisoners wefe confined. The mob was led by an ex-minister of the Legitime government. Tho prison authorities were not prepared for the attack and the doors were soon broken in and the prisoner^ released. In a short time the wholes town was In an uproar. President Hlppolyte himself was at church when the outbreak occurred, and his followers, fearful that the mob might attack him, locked the doors of the building and he remained there for some time in fear of hla life.

Meanwhile news of tho violence at the prison had reached the barracks where Hlppolyte's soldiers were quai» tered, and several regiments at Once turned out and hastened to the scene of the trouble. The rioters were still on the ground when tho troops charged them. The first volley scattered the mob and many persons were killed. A hundred or moro others were arrested on the spot by the soldiers and arrests have been going on ever since.

The outbreak seemed to have been precipitated by the killing of Ernest Rlgaud, the largest merchant at Port au Prince, by order of President Ilippolyte. Rlgaud, who alleged that he was a French subject, had been in Paris some time and had only recently returned to Hayti. Rlgaud was guspeoted of being in sympathy with the Legitime party and of aiding them. It was believed that he had brought from Paris a cargo of arms for tbe rebels. On Thursday morning, May 98, President Hlppolyte went to the house of Rlgaud, followed by a detachment

qt

soldiers. The soldiers remained outside, while the president entered alone. Be asked the merohant if he did not have guns concealed In the house. Rlgaud answered that he had no guns In the house. Putting his hand on Rigaud's shoulder the president said: "Come with me." They left the house together and stepped out In front of tho waiting soldiers. Without another word to Rlgaud, Hlppolyte stepped aside and gave the order to fire. Rlgaud fell dead in front of his house. Hlppolyte, no doubt, thought this would frighten the friends of Legitime, wh« contemplated an outbreak. But it seems to have roused them to fury, and the mob to attack the prison and release the political prisoners formed in a few hours.

On Saturday morning, May 30, a nephew of Ernst Rlgaud, who was associated with him In business, called at President Hlppolyte's house to ask about the killing of his uncle. The young man did not know that his uncle was shot by order of the president. He bel loved It was done by the soldiers without orders, and he intended to demand un Investigation. As soon as he addressed the president and stated the object of his visit Hlppolyte ordered him shot He was at once dragged into the street and shot dead.

About the same time Alexis Rosslgnol, an inoffensive and much esteemed man, was executed In tho streets another man was put up against the cathedral wall and shot seventeen were executed in a batch. It is I»-oo8-slble to enumerate In detail the murders that have been perp ated under the color of law. It is estimated from May 28 to Juno 1 U00 persons have boon put to death.

There is no fighting in the streets to excuse this massacre. Every execution Is carried out In the most coldblooded way, the executioners being soldiers belonging to the most degraded type of men, who seem to enioy the bloody task. Day and night the troops of Hlppolyte patrol the streets, searching for persons suspected of being In sympathy with the Insurgent party. Business Is practically suspended. The bodies of tho rebels shot are left lying in the streets for several hours as a warning to thfeir friends. The officers of somo of the German vessels in port went on shore to look at the dcud bodies.

On the desk is a shield oi roses and lilies, with tho wordB "Our Chief" in blue immortelles. Tho members wero dressed In black coats and black ties. Tho gallorlca wore crowded for an hour before the opening at 8 o'clock. The chamber was impressively quiet.
