Wall Street Bankers Anxious Over Large Currency Bhipmenta

MILLIONS GOING WEST AND SOUTH.

Many Hanks.

CURRENCY FOR THE WEST. NEW YORK, June 15.—Tho shipment of currency to tho west and south bjNow York city banks was continued Wednesday and excited much comment in financial circles. The amount sent out yesterday was estimated at more than 11,000,000, and another fl,000,000 was ordered to-dny. When asked as to the cause for this large shipment of currency, which is mainly to the west (tho amount sent out within the last ten days is believed to exceed 81-4,000,000), bankers

agreed

in saying

that tho demand was largely due to the distrust prevailing1 everywhere in this country, and especial 13- in the west, where there have been a great many failures both of banks nnd commercial houses.

Draining New York Haitkv

The stringency of the money market is beinp experienced at both ends of the line now. The savings banks, as well as other banks out west, are all fortifying themselves as much as possible, and that, especially in the case of the country savings banks, is causing a hoarding of money in those places and a consequent drain upon the banks of New York city. As a result of this many New York banks are being compelled to call in loans in order to maintain their lawful reserve. Their lines of discount and time loans are practically fixed so that they cannot be disturbed, and so they have no alternative but to ask for payment of their call loans in case their maturities do not meet their daily needs. The sending forward of wheat, it is believed, will only account (or a very small part of the demand for currency from the west.

Kffect on Trade.

As an indication of how this mouetary stringency is affecting trade in all its ramifications it was reported on Wall street that three large mercantile houses in Chicago were endeavoring to get extensions in this city from wholesale houses of which they had bought goods. Another indication of the stringency is the fact that a large mercantile house in this city of first-class credit and abundunt assets had to pay 12 per cent, for extension to tide it over a tight place. The lack of buying is also reported to be one of tho unfavorable conditions noticed by large wholesale houses in this city, and it is generally attributed to the curtailments of credits, the bud state of affairs in the west, and gener ally to the money stringency and luck of confidence.

Treasury Gold Increasing.

WASHINGTON, June 15.—The treasury golj is being built up by tlie deposit in New York of gold certificates in exchange for currency orders in the west. The demand for money in the west still continues and through this exchange the treasury is receiving gold at the same timo it is accommodating the Now York banks in placing currency at western points. The net gold in the treasury at the close of business was $92, lH8,S15J an increase of nearly It.000,000 over the day before and an increase of more than $2,000,000 during the week.

Shipping Wheat Instead of Gold. Secretary Morton lias an explanation for the improvement in the financial situation. lie said: "It would seem that wo have reached the price at which foreign markots will purohuso our wheat, and it Is now going nbroad. lustcad therefore, of gold shipments there will bo exchanges for cereals and the tliiundal problem will bo easier."

Dishonest oniclals Cause a Hen. NEW YORK, June 15.—A run was started on the Irvings savings institution Wednesday morning almost as soon as the doors of the. place at No. 90 Warren street were opened. Treasurer Ci. li. Latimer said the bank had in hund $1,000,000, and could get that much more if necessary at a moment's notice. This is the bank in which Superintendent of Banks Preston, of the state of New York, discovered a deficiency of ?70,800. Three of tho bank officials, the president, secretary and paying teller, are held responsible for the shortage, the first two named having- "overdrawn" their aocounts and tlie third "abstracted funds." At 2 p. m. f50,000 deposits liad been drawn. The surplus is said to be over $000,000.

Forced to Suspend.

CLEVELAND, O., June 15. The Baackes Wire Nail company has made an assignment.* The inability to raise money to meet maturing paper was the sole cause of the failure, for tho liabilities of the company are only $225,000 and the assets reach $900,000.

Tho company is one of the largest manufacturers of wire nails in the United States, if not in the world, and it is backed by capitalists of Cleveland worth millions of dollars. Mr. Iiaackes, vice president and founder of the concern, is one of tho pioneers in the wire nail business in the country.

Closed Its Doors After a Hun. I'AINESVILI.E, O.. June 15.—The Lake County bank of Aaron Wilcox «fc Co., has closed its doors, it, announces that depositors will be paid in full. A run was begun on the bank Tuesday, but business men had all confidence and deposited in it up to the time of closing for the day. The general impression is that tho bank will be able to resume business in a Bhort time. The personal estate of tho stockholders is liable for the indebtedness, in all amounting to several hundred thousand dollars. The bank is believed to be solvent. It was organized twenty-five years ago and lias always been considered a sound institution.

Charles Tliorsen died from sunstroke ut lshpcining, Mich., Tuesday.

TOOK FIVE LIVES.

Awful Deed of tho Wife of West Virginia Farmer-While Insane She Kills Four of Her Children and Afterwards

Commits Suicide. PAHKBKSBUKG, W. Va., Juno 15.— Mrs. Philip Kerch, tho wife of a well-to-do farmer near Pleasant llill, murdered four of her children and- then committed suicide. Mr. and Mrs. Kerch had eight children, the oldest of whom, Mollie, was 17 years old. For some time Mrs. Kerch had'been melancholy and frequently said that she was afraid she would die and leave her children. She seemed to bo in good health, however, except that she sometimes complained of a trouble in her side. After dinner Mrs. Kerch went to Mollie and quietly said to her: "1 have given Johnnie and Freddie poison we will all jump into the well." Mollie remembered that a bottle of strychnine was in the house and she ran to the place where it had been kept. It was gone, and when she returned to where her mother was she saw her throw the 10-month-old baby into the well. Before she could be prevented the crazed mother threw a S-year-old child after the infant and was in the act of seizing a boy 8 years old, but Mollie rescued the child. A desperate Btrugglo then began between mother and daughter, but the infuriated woman broke loose and jumped !nto the well, which had 8 feet of water in it. Freddie, who had been given the poison, was found lying dead on the floor of the house, and Johnnie died a few minuteslater. Jir. Kerch was absent from home at the time of the tragedy.

THE INQUEST IS INVALID.

Snpreme Court Decides That a Deputy Coroner la Not Vested with Legal Authority.

WASHINGTON, June 15 —The supreme court of the district dismissed Col. Ainsworth's petition for a mandamus to compel the deputy coroner to admit him to the inquest over the victims of the Ford theater disaster, holding that a deputy coroner is not a legal officer. This invalidates the inquest so far as held. The court also held that the right of a porson to be present at an inquest in person or by coun# is discretionary with a coroner aud therefore not a subject for mandamus. The curious point now develops that no dead body has been viewed by a legally constituted coroner's jury. nUss one of the injured victims still lingering should die, it may be necessary to exhume a body.

Run Down at Sea.

QI-F.ENSTOWN, June 15.—The Cunard line steamer Servia, ('apt. Dutton. which sailed from New York ?v 24 for Liverpool, has arrived here. She reports that on June 7 she ran down the American ship A. MaeCallum, Capt. O'Brien, from Liverpool, April 28, for New York. The MaeCallum was so badly damaged that slu tilled and sank a short time after tin accident. The Servia stood by and rescued twenty-four of those on board the sailing vessel. Two were drowned.

The usual felicitous speeches were exchanged. After that ceremony Mavroyeni Bey, the Turkish minister, in behalf of the sultan of Turkey, presented to tho president a magnificent medal commemorative of the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America. The medal is of massive gold, about 4 inches in diameter.

Overtaken by Justice In Austria. VIENNA, June 15.—David Kimmel, with "his wife and son, who left NewYork in 1891 to escape a charge of having defrauded certain persons out of 815,000, came here nnd attempted to obtain money by dishonest means. One of their victims complained to the authorities, and the arrest of the trio was followed by their trial Tuesday, when they were convicted, and each was sentenced to six years' imprisonment.

Some Sensational Evidence Given Against Miss Borden. * * *

THE EFFORT TO SHOW HER MOTIVE. * * *

A Witness Swears to Her Frequent Expressions of Hatred for Her Stepmother — Story of Her Quarrel with Her Sister. * * *

PROSECUTION GAINING POINTS.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass., June 15. — The testimony of Hannah Reagan and Mrs. Gifford and the decision of the court on Wednesday to admit as evidence the testimony of a drug clerk that Lizzie Borden had tried to obtain prussie acid from him prior to the double murder were strong points for the prosecution in the famous case. The old courthouse where Lizzie Borden's life is in the balance was again thronged.

Told Her She Was Suspected. City Marshal Hilliard, of Fall River, was the first witness Wednesday morning and described his visits to the Borden house, his conversation with the prisoner, in which she was told that she was suspected and when she said that she was in the barn when the murders were committed. The marshal was cross-examined and swore that the search of the Borden house was thorough and that the defendant gave him all articles he asked for and spoke earnestly and frankly in conversation about suspicion of her. Other witnesses testified that after the girl was so notified she assisted the police in every reasonable manner in their several searches of the house.

Hated Her Stepmother.

Miss Hannah Gifford, dressmaker for the Bordens, testified that Lizzie Borden told her how she hated her stepmother, and that they never took their meals together if they could help it.

Lizzie's Quarrel with Emma. Hannah Reagan, matron at the police station, Fall River, testified. Defining her duties, the witness said the prisoner was in her charge at one time. “She was in my room,” she said. “On the 24th of August Emma came in to see her about 9 o'clock in tho morning. I was in the room cleaning up. She spoke with her sister and went into a toilet-room, and, hearing loud talk, looked out and saw Lizzie lying on her side and Emma bending down over her. Lizzie said: ‘You have given me away, Emma, but I don’t care I won’t give in one inch.” “Emma said: ‘Oh, Lizzie, I didn’t,’ at the same time sitting down. They sat there until nearly 11 o’clock, when Mr. Jennings came but Lizzie made no talk at all with her sister after; never opened her mouth to her. When Emma left that morning there was nothing said by either and no ‘good-by’ was exchanged.” [Decided sensation.]

During the time Mrs. Reagan was telling the story that was so significant Lizzie Borden leaned forward, her head over the shoulder of Mr. Robinson. Her face did not change in expression, except that it became flushed. At this point a recess was taken.

Witness was asked if she had told any reporter about the quarrel between the sisters. She said she had not, but that she had characterized the matter as a quarrel when reporters called upon her and asked her if there was any truth in it. Rev. Dr. Buck had come to her with a paper for her to sign denying that the story was true. She said Rev. Mr. Buck had asked her to sign the paper, and said that it would heal the relations which at that time existed between Emma and Lizzie. She did not sign the paper. Lizzie tried to Buy Poison.

Eli Betts was called after that. He was a drug clerk who was to testify that Lizzie had tried to purchase prussie acid from him, but there was an objection by the defense and argument for and against the admission of the evidence was begun. Chief Justice Matson decided after consultation that the evidence was competent and would be admitted. That was a victory for the commonwealth. Lizzie Borden, leaning against the rail pressing her face against her fan, flushed when the decision of the court was made known.

She Is Giving Way.

When court opened and Lizzie appeared it was clearer than ever that she has an immense allotment of physical and nervous strength and her composure is still remarkable. But she is weakening that, too, is apparent, and no wonder. She has had to look at the ghastly skulls of the father and stepmother she is charged with murdering, at bloody clothes, carpets and other things, and then she has had to listen to all the testimony of the medical experts called by the state. It is noticeable that as evident as has been her restraint and composure, the color has left her face and she has trembled in her chair during the time the government exhibits were brought into the courtroom. * * *

Injured by the Collapse of a Building. KEOKUK, la., June 15.—The threestory brick building on Ninth and Mam streets collapsed Wednesday. I'art of the building is occupied as a saloon and was crowded at the time. The collapse came without warning and buried a number of the occupants in the cellar.

KILLED AT THE PAIR.

CHICAGO, June 15.—The first serious accident since the. opening of the fair occurred on Midway Plaisance at 0:30 Wednesday evening. One man mangled and dead and five men and women terribly injured tell the tale of the last trip of a coasting train on the ice railway. Tho victims of the catastrophe are:

Dead.

N. D. Richmond, Dunlap, III., face terribly torn, threo ribs broken and injured Internally died one hour after being removed to tho Columbian hospital.

Seriously Injured.

Miss May Ayres, Chicago, both arms broken, Jaw crushed in and internal Injuries Carl Frick, member of tlie German Cavalry band In the Ge-'man village on Platsancc, right arm broken, noso broken and baok and legs hurt: John Jnco.bs, Algerian village, Jaw broken and crushed about the hoad Henry Jacobs, Algerian village, left leg cut and bruised and Internal Injuries D. S. Slater, Chicago, right leg cut p.nd brulsod Henry II. Mcl.eroth, Austlu, 111., legs cut, Hnger broken nnd back hurt.

Story of the DiBnster.

The ice railway was completed Wednesday afternoon and was notopen for business at the time of the accident. The ice railway resembles a roller coaster track, cxcept that the track iB covered with artificial ice. Tho contrivance was tested by the builders and many trial trips were successfully made with tho workmen as passengers. The public became interested in the experiment, and as nobody prevented people took advantage of tho opportunity to get a free ride. The train which met with disaster was made of threo sleds coupled together. As it was rounding a curve at a terrific rate of speed the pin connecting the first and second sleds broke. The second and third sleds jumped the track, crashed through the frail railing, and their helpless occupants were hurled through the air to the ground below, a distance of 15 feet, with tremendous force. A cry of horror went up from the spectators. Guards rushed to the scene and in an ineredlbly short space of time the injured were removed in ambulances to the Columbian hospital near by where everything was done to relievo their sufferings. Richmond never regained consciousness® after the accident and the physicians saw nt once that there was no hope of saving his life. Tho other victims were made as comfortable as possible and afterward some were removed in ambulances to the city hospitals and others were taken to their homes. Miss Avers and John •Jacobs sustained tho most serious Injuries and their recovery is doubtful. The others, while dangerously hurt, are likely to survive.

The Management Illumed.

The accident is likely to put serious check on the business of the ice railway and similar enterprises for the time being at least. Those in charge of the railway are severely blamed for permitting people to risk their lives before the contrivance had been more thoroughly tested.

FOUND IN THE LAKE.

The llody of Herman Schaffaer, the Missing Chicago Hanker, Recovered. CHICAGO, Juno 15.—Tho belief that Herman Schaffner, the missing banker, had been drowned in Lake Michigan was found to be correct Wednesday. About 8 o'clock in the afternoon Charles L. Richter, who was fishing on a pier at the foot of Greenwood avenue, near the Marine hospital, saw the body of aman floating neTir the shore. Richter fastened the hook of his line in the man's clothing and drew the remains ashore. As soon as he saw tho features of the dead man he at ouce recognized them as those of Schaffner. The police were Immediately notified and were soon on the spot. Everything about the finding of the body, tlie police say, points to the suicide theor3', and they believe that Schaffner was the man who engaged the rowboat June 8 and never returned. Tho body was badly bloated and decomposition had set in. The remains were removed to Sigmund's morgue, being taken to an undertaker's establishment later on, where they were identified by friends. It is believed that Scliaffner's mind became unbalanced through worry over the financial situation.

Celebrated the lllrtli of the Flag. PHILADELPHIA, June 15.—For the first time in American history tliero was a general celebration hero Wednesday of the anniversary of the adoption by congress unc 14, 1777, of the stars and stripes. In every school in Philadelphia Wednesday morning the story of how the first flag was made was told and the "Star Spangled Banner" and other national anthems were sung. Buildings on all tho principal streets of the city were liberally decorated.
