CMTO. MILWAUKEE, May IS.—For |h«Tfirst time in many years Milwaukee has ex perienced a ruin on one 'of its banks." Before the doors of ths, bank opened a jerowd. of SQ0 people gathered about th* entrance and, from the moment- the \4nk opened until it closed in afternoon the tellers were kept busy paying out money Saving depositors were refused their money under .tlte rul# requiring thirty days' notice before |rithdrawal of funds. At noon tOftfutfras virtu ally over and confidence began to re sume sway once more. The distrust of the Plankraton bank' is due to the large amount in which it is involved in the Lappen failure. The most conspicuous incident in con nection with the run was the arrival of about $100,000 in an express safe from Chicago. The money was unloaded at the bank about 11:30 o'clock from"an American Express wdfeon, and the sight of the big cash box had a 'reassuring effect on some of the anxious depos itors. The cash came from the Con tinental national bank of. Chicago, where the Plankinton had a bal ance of $77,000, and from several other Chicago banks having small balances due the Plankinton. The special train on the Chicago, Milwaukee it St. Paul railroad which brought the money was composed of a locomotive and an express car. It made the run in exactly two hours add fifteen minutes and just four'minutes after the train dashed into the depot the money was at the door of the bank. Assistant Cashier Moody, who went to Chicago to secure the funds, was so wrought up by the importance of his duty that when the money in his charge was safely in the bank he fell in a faint. From a statement made by the cash ier to the directors Friday night the bank had in its vaults Saturday morn ing money belonging to it and other banks to the amount of $600,000. One hundred thousand dollars was re ceived during the day from Chi cago and at a meeting of the clear ing house Saturday afternoon it was decided to take $200,000 of the bank's paper guaranteed by the direc tors. This gives the bank $900,000 that is in its vaults. During the day less than $70,000 was paid out to depositors and it was stated by the bank officials that this had been met by new deposits received during the day. The scene in the bank was very in teresting. Depositors were crowded against the counters, all endeavor ing to get in first, and prominent men in banking and business circles were delivering short speeches assuring them of the safety. of the bank and their money. Among those who spoke to the crowd were Gov. Peck, Frank Big elow, cashier of the First national bank, and Frederick T. Day, president of the Plankinton bank. DULUTH, Minn., May 15. Gill & Wright, proprietors of the Duluth roller mills, have assigned to F. W. Paine, cashier of the Security bank. The fail ure may be attributed to the recent deal in May wheat at Chicago. The firm had spread out considerably and was in no condition to stand the squeeze. The assets are variously estimated, ac cording to the valuation placed upon the mill property, from $75,000 to $120,000. Liabilities, $67,000. CHICAGO, May 15.—President Zimri Dwiggins of the collapsed Columbia bank views without any great con cern the reports from Washington that he may be indicted by the treasury department for peculiar methods of financiering. The report was to the effect that "irregularities" were discovered in the bank's method of doing business, and that these "ir regularities" constituted ample grounds for an indictment aigainst the presi dent. The amount of money involved in these transactions is said to be as much as $400,000 or $500,000. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 10.—The. panicky feeling caused by the suspen sion of so many bankB throughout the state is passing away. It is possible that there are a few more of the country banks that may have to close their doors, but the feeling is that the worst is over. The many suspensions have not caused more than a ripple of excitement among the old line bankers. Money has tight ened up a little, but the best financiers say there is no ground whatever for the indiscriminate talk of the danger of a panic. Indianapolis bankers express the belief that the suspension of this Dwiggins and Paris line of banks will result in good. The state authorities, they say, ought never to have permitted .such banks to do business, and the belief is that in the future such banks will be watched with more care. There have been in all ton failures of banks in the state as a result of the failure of the Columbia national of Chi cago. First reports of sixteen failures were unfounded. It is announced by John W. Paris and J. Shanfion Nane, of this city, that the four banks in which they are interested will reopen within a few days. The Orleans bank has been disposed of to Orleans capitalists and will, it is announced, resume business to-day. The syndicate announces that it has completed ar rangements for the reopening of the other. banks in itf extensive string. 11 is also stated that some of the banks operated by Dwiggins and Starbuck of the Colunlbia national will be reopened during the week. For the Next Campaign. CHICAGO, May 15. The national executive committee of the prohibition party held a meeting at the Sherman house Saturday.

The engine yvas backed into a side track and three flats were attached. The crowd had an engineer and fireman and in a few minutes the cars were loaded with men and the train pulled out for Bedford, determined to lynch Turley. BEDFORD, Ind., May 15., 3. a.m.—At 2:10 o'clock a. m. a mob of 100 men appeared before the jail here forced the sheriff to give up the keys and took John Tur ley, who murdered Conductor L. F. Price at Seymour, from his cell and hanged him in the jail yard. Turley begged for his life, but his ap peals were met with silence. The lynching was conducted In the most or derly manner, Turley's cries being the only sound heard. After lynching their man the mob requested that the body be not taken down until daylight, after which it dispersed. The mob hanged Turley to a tree in the jail yard within 12 feet of the rail road track so that all passing trains can see his body. He was dressed as though he had been expecting them. They completed the job at 2:50 o'clock. There were forty three men at the jail masked and about fifty or sixty standing guard at different points over the city. I FLOODS MANY PARISHES. New Crevasse In Arkansas Levee Threat ens a Loss of 100,000 Bales of Cotton. VICKSBCRGH, Miss., May 15.—Rumors of a second crc asse in Arkansas occur ring at Brooks' mill, the scene of a great crevasse last year, are con firmed. The break is in a new and large levee. It was 50 feet wide this morning and cannot be closed. This, with the waters of Lakeport crevasse, will carry destruction into the Texas basin, an immense alluvial region drained by Bayou Macon and by the Boeuf and Tensas rivers, besides other parallel streams. The destruction of crops in eight or nine parishes will be enormous. At -least 100,000 bales of cotton will be cut off from the year's crop. This district made no crop last year, owing to a similar disaster. There is little hope that the water will pass off in time to replant this season. The water will also do much damage in its immediate vicinity both in Louisiana and Arkansas. There were many who thought the first crevasse would not seriously affect the Tensas basin, but this river cannot pos sibly carry off this additional flood. Levees elsewhere remain intact, with every possibility of continuing so. The lower Arkansas front is confessedly weak. DASHED TO DEATH.

CHICAGO, May 15.—Whether or not the gates of Jackson park will be opened to the public Sundays is a question thatwill now have to be ^determined by the courts. An action calling in question the powers of the com mission, the rights of the people, and .asking for a construction of the laws bearing upon the whole subject matter has been begun in the superior court of Cook county. The threatened suit by Charles Clingman to enjoin the ^boalrd of directors, the national com ^mission and the South park com missioners from ^closing the gates was commenced in the Cook county superior court Saturday afternoon. The suit is a direct attack against" closing anything per taining to the exposition and is direct ed, against, the local directory because that body did not pass a resolution broad enough. The position is taken that the park commissioners are the agents of the people and cannot lease or. concede to anybody, including the general government, the right of jurisdiction over the grounds or of anything within the limits of the park. The case is brought in the state courts, and the question is treated as one with which the federal authori ties have nothing to do. The only ref erence to anything national is the joinder of the national commission as parties to the action, upon the ground that this body is obstructing the rights of the people in keeping the buildings and exhibits closed Sundays. Attorney General Olney has instructed his subordinate in this district to see that the laws of congress are not vio lated, and to look after governmental interests. District Attorney Milchrist admitted that he had received instruc tions from his chief to protect the rights of the national government in this matter. In an interview he giv^s it as his opinion that the gates cannot be opened in the manner attempted by the local directory. The national commission took no ac tion upon the question Saturday other than to refer it to the judiciary commit tee for consideration and report. The members decided not to adjourn, as was at first their intention, but will be ready to take any action that may be come necessary under the circum stances. Gen. J. W. St. Clair, of West Virginia, one of the most active members of the commission, used emphatic language in speaking of the directory's resolve. In cidentall^he talked about the possibil ity of the United States army being called upon to awe the directors into a more proper frame of mind. He said: "The grates of the fair will not be open on Sunday, May 21, unless legally and with tbe consent of the commissioner*. I am positive of this. The action of the board of directors will simply make the tight four times harder." "Suppose the directory should insist on open lag the gates on Sunday, what measures can be taken to prevent them?" "President Cleveland can call upon the army, and he will do it if the commission should think it necessary. The gates cannot be opened withont the consent of the presi dent" Some of the commissioners expressed themselves quite decisively upon the question. They considered that the lo cal directory, in adopting the resolution last Friday declaring that the gates would be open Miy 21, have exceeded their powers. Under the dedication it is claimed that the national commission was formally placed in possession of the park and all its contents, and that the national commission is the only power, if even they have the right under the law, to open the gates Sunday. On the other hand protests against the action of the local directory were received by President Palmer from va rious sections of the country. The Sun day Closing association has taken the matter up with the attorney general oi the United States, and the local mem bers of the association will bring a suit to enjoin the directors or anybody else from opening the fair on Sunday LOST AT SEA.
