I IDENTIFIED SOME MORE.

BANKEK fflOKS, OF DANVILLE, ILL SMILES ON AN OLD FRIEND.

Paquet Refuses to Recognize His Aocuaera and Puts on.'a Sold faoe.—Officer Grimes' Oatoh a Good One.

When Officer Grimes waded into the ruins of the Brown Watkins' mill and yanked therefrom Mr. Louis Paquet he didn't know exactly what a good oatch he had made. Facts are coming to light, however, whioh prove that Mr. Paquet is a much wanted mnn and is one of the most successful bans switdlers in the country.

Hard on the heels of his identification by U. T. Barker, ot Kalamazoo, Mu h., comes his identification by banker Geo. L. Wioks, ot Danville, III. This morning Mr. Wicks arrived in the city accompanied by detective George Gerard and they with Sheriff Davis and a JOURNAL representative proceeded at once to ihtjail. There all the prisoners, including Willard Boots andj Ed Brown, were called out in the corridor and lined up in a row. Mr. Wicks ran bis eye along the line and said when it rested upon the right man: "Ah, this IB Mr. Paquet, or as I knew him, Mr. Feter Faber." "I never saw you,'' said Paquet firmly although he was very pale.

A lively conversation followed in which Paquet denied ever having been in Danville, 111., or having seen or heard ot the Palmer National bank, of which Mr. Wioks is cashier. Later in the sheriff's parlor Mr. Wicks said to THE JOUUNAL: "I knew him as soon as I clapped eyes on him, although he wa& not so seedy laoking last Angust when he worked us out. He worked three b.nkt in Danville, viz: the Palmer N'tional, the State Bank and the Second National. 1 don't know how much .he got the others for and would hate to say how mnch he pulled us for. The others deny getting worked, in fact, and the swindlt was never made public at all. He work ed the same scheme with us that he at tempted here and departed in peace on August 31. I knew him quite well as Peter Faber, but the bookkeeper paid him the money. He had different, names at the other banks. We would like to take him home with us and give him credentials for Joliet, but I can't BHJ just what we will do until I return this evening."

Paquet protests his innocence of crime outside that attempted here, but tlit identifications are too easily made and too positive in character. He receiwd message last night from his wife telling him to oome home to-day as no one IL Chicago knew (,f his misfortune. De teotive Gerard, who has been working on the case for several months 6tated that the banks in numerous small towns had been swindled in the same way. At Danville Psquet was accompanied by the same red-headed young gentleman who worked with him here.

Seven Indictments are Eeturned, Among Them &. B. F. Peirce. To the surprise of R. B. F. Peirce's many friends in this city the Federal Grand Jury has returned an indictment against him along with six others on the general charge of wrecking the Indianapolis National Bunk. The three bank offioials indicted are President Haughey, Cashier Rexford and Director Peirce. The four others were borrowers from the bank of large sums. There are eight coants in the indictment against Mr. Peirce. These generally may be summed up under the genernl head of misapplication of fnnUs. He was heavy borrower himself but within the last ten days he bad turned over to the Receiver of the bank property to the amount of about 870,000 to liquidate his indebtedness. It was generally thought this settlement would reltase him from the vengeance of the law. No person will believe for a moment that Mr. Peirce is morally guilty. He may be technically so, but it is to be hoped that an impartial trial will relieve him of all charges of crimioal intent.

WIOKED WOMEN.

Who Caused Their Amiable Husbands No End of Annoyance and Fain. Judge Harney smiled blandly over his spectacles this morning and pleasantly rubbed hie hands in anticipation of the joys of. divoroe day. Divoroe day always cornea on Friday, the same day of the week that murderers are hung and liquor lioeneas are granted. It is a very beautiful and happy oustom and one ever to be honored and revered. Judge Harney felt considerably like Santa Claus this morning and all he laoked was a team of reindeers and a bob sled to make the thing, complete. All the applicants entered carrying their stockings in their hands and into these the deorees of divoroe were dropped all tied up in pink and blue ribbons. Nearly all the applicants to-day were men, the unusually large orop being due to the fact that last year was leap year, the evil effects of whioh are just beginning to be felt.

Francis Welch was the first man who came to the front and his faoe wad as long as Sport Allen's famous runs on the foot ball field. Annie, his wife, had deserted him and the judicial meat as fell upon the holy bonds of matrimony, catting them smack smooth off.

John Osborn was up with a whole bushel of assertions, allegations and affidavits against the character of Jessica, who was once his honored and wood chopping wife. She left him in the gloaming and Judge Harney used the scissors in snipping the white hymenial ribbons which bound this worthy oouple together.

Mrs. Mary C. Jones who was married to Frank Jones about six weeks ago was on hand telling how Frank provided but a dime's worth of potatoes as provinder for the honeymoon and how he finally deserted her ooldly and cruelly. She reoeived the customary Christmas gift and with a very pretty "thank you" faded out of the room.

Wm. Hendricks lived with Lovetta.his wife, for thirteen years in a very lovely and laudable manner but 6lie got gay last September and William got a divoroe this morning. That's the difference between September and this morning. Lovetta was awarded S100 alimony and the oustody of their child for one year when the oherub reverts to hs pa

This afternoon the dosing exercises at the public schools were marked by the charitable offerings of the pupils. In all the buildings piles of provisions and clothes were heaped up and the display was a most gratifying one. The thoughttnlness of the children will go far toward relieving suffering and making a merry Christmas for the poor and needy.

CLOSED ITS DOORS.

The 'St. Nicholas Bank of New York In Serious Trouble. NEW VOR*. Dec. 23.—State Bank Superintendent. Preston has taken charge of the St Nicholas bank, and pending an examination the bank will be closed. The St Nicholas bank on November 6 last had a capital of 500,000, net surplus and profits of 1152,700 and deposits of $2,828,800. the bank had offices in the Mills building. Officials re fuse to talk about the matter pending- Superintendent Preston's examination. Superintendent Preston examined the condition of the St Nicholas bank Wednesday, and after a conference with the clearing-house committee it was decided not to open the bank until a more thorough investigation is made.

The notice closing the bank was posted before the bank officials arrived. Preiident Graves says: "I am astonished to see the notice. 1 sup posed this bank was solvent and do not know why the superintendent should have posted the notice."

When the superintendent arrived President Graves said to him: "This is a high-handed proceeding of yours. What does It mean?" Then the state official and the bank officer walked into an inner office.

The St. Nicholas bank acted as the clearing house agent for the suspended Madison Square bauk, and the examination being made by Superintendent Preston is due to the connection of the St Nicholas with the Madison Square bank. Upon the failure of the Madison square bank the St Nicholas withdrew from that institution some*$250,000 worth of securities in order to protect itself, but it is understood that the affairs of the St. Nicholas bank have been unsettled since that time.

It is understood that the depositors will lose nothing. The deposits Wednesday night had been reduced to about $2,000,000. Persons conversant with the bank's condition say there has been absolutely no dishonesty in the management, though bad judgment has been shown in the conduct of the buf^nft^a

In the senate a bill was introduced by Senator Proctor (rep. Vt) to annex the territory of Utah to the state of Nevada. It was referred to the committee on territories. Most of the session was devoted to executive business and many nominations were confirmed. The chair laid before the senate a communication from the secretary of state in response to the resolution of the senate calling for information as to whether permission had been granted any foreign cable company to land its cables or lines on the coast of the United States since March 1, 1898. The secretary of state said no suoh permission had been granted since March 1, 1893, either conditionally or unconditionally, knowing of no law of congress authorizing him or any other executive officer to do sa

HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS.

Consreu Adjourns Until January 3—Fro* ctetfiQgs on Thursday. WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.—Both branches of congress on Thursday took the usual holiday recess. The sessions will be resumed January 3. 1894. The Hawaiian matter fired prominently in the last session of the house before the recess. Mr. Boutelle (rep., Me.) and Mr. Blair (rep., N. H.) each offered resolutions, the former calling on the former calling on the secretary of the nary for instructions whereby the admiral In charge of the naval forces at Honolulu was placed under the command of Commissioner Blount and the warrant therefor, the latter Instructing the foreign affairs committee to investigate the qustlons of fact relative to the Hawaiian revolution. The substitute for the Hitt and Boutelle resolutions was also presented by Mr. McCreery (dem., Ky.), chairman of the foreign affairs committee. The substitute condemns the action of ex-Minister Stevens in Hawaii. Debate on each of these resolutions was avoided by the prompt action of the speaker in referring them. Before adjournment Mr. Wilson gave notice that the debate on the Wilson bill would begin the day of the reconvening of congress, and Mr. McOrearj also informed the house that within ten days after meeting two days would toe given for consideration of the Hawaiian resolutions reported by the foreign affairs committee.
