The bearing before the State nankin
beard yesterday of mnttcra concerning th
settlement of the German Savings ban
affairs resulted In nn agreement betwce
the stockholders and depositors , whcreb
the former will put up a bond of $200.00 (
taku possession of tlic assets , deposit th
money as fast as collected In a good banl
to the credit of the depositors , and pay ol
the depositors within two and a halt year *
The details of this agreement will be com
pleted within a few days , after which th
receiver will be dispensed with.
The meeting of the Gorman Savings banl
depositors , called by the State llanklni
hall at 1
board , convened In Crclgliton
o'clock yesterday morning with Attornc ;
General C. J. Smyth of the board In th
chair. The hall wns filled with men am
women In all walks of life , who have thcl
Havings tied up In the Insolvent bank.
Mr. Smyth opened the meeting with th
Btatcmont that the State Hanking board de
ulrcd to hear from the depositors and othe
creditors of the bank na to the advlsablllt ;
of taking the bank out of the hands of thi
receiver , and placing It In the hands of tin
board of directors.
Ex-Governor Crounac , a stockholder In tin
bank , was flrel on the Iloor. Ho gave i
history of the bank along with a statemen
of Its financial condition as It at preMn
ho did no
utunus. Ho said OB a stockholder
want to ree the depositors lose a penny one
be nindi
arrangements could
hoped that some
by which the stockholders could give a bom
thousand dollars nm
hundred
for one or two
close up the affairs of the bank with tin
least possible lors to all concerned. Hi
stated that It would be nccepsary to recrgan
Izo the old board of directors and get li
eomo new members who understood the bus ! .
Mr. Smyth asked If any one had n state
mcnt of the condition of the bank , and W
K Wnpplch replied that he had the pub
llshed statement of the receiver , and askei
the privilege to address the meeting , whlcl
was prantcd.
CONDITION OK TUB HANK'S ASSETS.
Mr. Wnpplch said ho had put In a daj
Investigating Into the condition of affalrt
and read a list of stockholders taken fron '
the county treasurer's ofllco. This ahowet'
116 stockholders owning & .000 t-harcs of clock
with 20 per cent paid thereon' . He furthei
said that twenty-six of the largest stock'
holders own S.G19 Bhares , while Lorenzt
Fowler held 915 , almost one-third of tin
atcclc. From the tabulated statement ol
the receiver the face value of the aaset :
last September was $431,427.87 , and that the
estimated value by the receiver was $213,000 ,
Tha estimated liabilities of the bank an
$336,000 exclusive ot the estimated value ol
the sCoclc. Mr. Wnpplclr sold that ho had
stockholders with several
gone over the list of
eral ot the depositors and It waw safe to es
timate that persons holding at least 2.50C
shares of stock were unable to pay anything
thereon , and the only question was whether
It was best to turn the bank back to the
he considered In
directors , many of whom
competent. ' . ,
This started- the ball to rolling and busi
ness became lively ,
I. n Andrews said he was , a depositor and
believed It "best to permit the stockholders
to give a bond and take charge ot the bank
and Us assets , and that of all the banks that
had failed npt one that had been placed in
declared a dividend
the hands of a receiver had
dend ; and ho believed that the directors
ot the bank would do justice to the depos
itors. In this way all would got their money
winner than by suing the stockholders and
having appeals taken to the supreme court ,
which would delay settlement for years.
Then some German depositor arose and said
lie was no orator , but that he had deposited
his children's money , soius $400. and called
on some one to speak In belmlt of the deposi
tors.
WHO COULD notmow or THE HANK.
John L. Kennedy wanted It to bo under
stood that he. al.io , represented some stock
holders , but denied that no bank had declared
n dividend , and named one or two banks that
had Ho averred that any old nautical bum
or liack could get favors at the German Sav
ings bank ; that the notes duo the bank were
not worth 20 cents on the drllar , and that
the real estate was worth about 50 cents on
the dollar. In his opinion the bank had been
mismanaged. He favored a bond , but wanted
It amply suMclont to cover everything before
turning over the ai-sels to the bank directors.
n. 0. IKirbsnk said he was a depositor
and he pro-prof } to have every cent with In
terest. If It. took ten years to collect It. Ho
thought a good bond should be given , as the
depositors were turning back to the bank
about $213,000 of assets.
Charles 13. Reynolds , wns also In favor of
such a bond , an were many more depositors.
Mr. Wapplch said the depositors were con
fronted with a condition. Ho said shortly
after the bank failed several of the stock
holders began disposing ot their property ,
among whom was L. I ) . Kowlor , who owned
91C shares ot stock , who deeded and mort
gaged about $20,000 worth of real ' estate.
About this tlmo ho was sued on th'o city
troasurer'n bond. About JSOO.OOO worth ot
real estalo was sold by the Gorman Savings
bank stockholders and bondsmen for Henry
Ilolln. ex-city treasurer. He went to Receiver
, McCaguo and complained that these stoelt-
h'oldqrs were disposing of their property , and
In justice t the depos-ltors urged the receiver
to take steps to stop the baino. "What as
surances liavo we , " ho said , "that before the
time for thi ) payment of our deposits many
of the other stockholders will not have
disposed ot and encumbered their property.
Wo arc hero to get our rights in seine way.
If the assets are good , as U claimed , lot the
depositors buy thorn at the receiver's esti
mated valno and thus ralno komethtng like
$100,000. Then we will get nuv money. Hank
ing U a commercial business and wo aru UUo
Iho creditors of any Jobbing house tlmt falls.
Let the at-f-cts bo sold and It there Is a de
ficiency the merchant must pay It If ho Is
worth It. Why not apply that rule here.
Mr , Fowler , who owned about one-fifth of the
stock , 1ms bade IIH goodbye and Is telling the
administration how to run a bank , The
laboring man , working girl , widow and or
phan arc entitled to some consideration , as
well as the rich man who Is engaged In the
banking buslnefs for profit , In the nanio of

This speech created considerable of a Bill
the" depositors present applauding voclfEr
otisly as Wapplch sat down ,
Ex-Governor Crounae counseled calmncw
He wax an honest man , and had never dc
frnuilod a man out of a cent , and did no
propose to do o. Out times were hard , am
It was dllTlcult to soil securities and rats
money. He believed If a nominal bond wer
accepted there was no question about th
bank directors being able to pay all the de
posltors within two or three years.
A motion was made nnd carried to ap
point a committee of five to confer with th
stockholders' committee about arranging fo
a Joint or severally bond In such an ammm
as was thought proper nnd sufflcltnt to pro
tcct the depositors. The depositors' com
mltteo consisted ot 1. H. Andrews , Ir
George Wilkinson , Dr. Savlllc , C. F
Ureckcnrldge and A. T. Ulum , and was In
atructcd to report at 4 o'clock p. m.
AN AGREEMENT UEACHHD.
The committee held n long consultalloi
with ex-Governor Crounso nnd B. A. llensor
who represented the stockholders of th
bank. It was Just G o'clock when nn ngrcc
ment was reached nnd Attorney Genera
Smyth again called the meeting to order
I. U. Andrews then stntcd that the commit
teca had agreed on n plan which was to 111
effect that the stockholders should give i
bond of $200,000 to settle nil liabilities li
two and one-half years. All money col
Icctcd on assets was to belong to the dc
posltors and to bo deposited to their credit
It was nlso understood that the stockholders
ors could make adjustments with deioslton
when It was considered advisable hy turn
Ing over assets In return for certificates o
deposit.
An Inquiry brought out the addltlona
Information that It was not contemplate !
that any of the funds realized on asset ;
should bo applied for the benefit of deposit
ors who were also stockholders In the bank
The report of the committee was the sub
Jcct of an hour's discussion , the genera
sentiment being In Its favor. Ono dissent
Ing depositor objected vigorously to the pros
pect of waiting thirty months for his moncj
and declared that It was a scheme to benc
fit the big stockholders , who did not nce <
the money.
Mr. Smyth suggested that ho favored c
light assessment on the stockholders to ns
slrt In paying off the depositors , but Mr
Crounso said that If this was Involved It :
the proposition It would make It very dif
ficult to secure the bond. Ho was wllllnf
to have an assessment made , but he coulil
not answer for the other stockholders.
The report of the committee was finallj
adopted and the committee was continued
to sou that the agreement was carried Intr
effect. Mr. Smyth stated that ho would
bring the matter before the State Banklni ;
Hoard and It would undoubtedly bo ap
proved , nnd then It could be submitted tc
Judge Kcysor for his sanction and the nec
essary order.

Klli-r'H Offer to Compromise Is Ho
Jvetoil.
The county commlss'loners met ycsterda ;
for the purpose of hearing evidence 01
the protest against the Issuance of a llquo
license to Mrs. Mary LaMotto to run i
saloon on West Podge street. The whol <
morning was consumed in hearing testimony
the protest being based largely on technlca
objections to the signatures to the petition.
The commissioners acted on the report o
Sheriff McDonald. The annual repor
showing the receipts mid disbursements
which has been referred to at length , wn
approved , but the report of the sheriff show
Ing the receipt of fees by his office durlni
the last quarter of 1896 was ordered pjpcei
on fllo without approval , for the redsoi
that the report docs not show the collectloi
of fees for convoying pilsoners to the penl
tentlary or reform school , fees for scrvlii !
foreign papers and few collected by tin
sheriff for acting as receiver or master com
mlsstoncr. These fees form the basis foi
the suits now pending In the district cour
against former shei'Iffs ' and have been i
bono of contention between the commission
crs and Sheriff MoDonalOi.
The board took official action on the offei
of ex-County Judge Eller to compromise hlc
suit against the county by paying the countj
jiGOO. As announced Monday in these col'
umns , the offer was rejected and the special
attorney of the county was Instructed tc
prosecute the suit of the county.

A night attack wnaonado upon the reel

assault Is said to havoibccn made hy Jnme
Lindsay , the puglllst 'Topsy" Knight nm
Dan Smith , The ispatty departed atte
Knight received n iknlfe wound.
Clancy Is living ; at the house with n mm
whom ho calls his r"p rdnor. " This chn ]
and the three othem were drinking hcnvll ;
Wednesday afternoon Jind the bout ended ti
a quarrel. Smith came to Clancy's lions
at supper time , looking for the latter'
"pardner , " but failed to nnd him nnd let
with threats. Clancy nnd his roomnint
retire * ! early , but were awakened shortl ;
utter 0 o'clock by the noise of shallow
glass. They found that the window pane
near their bed had been broken by a pleci
of scantling. A few minutes later the bad
door was broken open nnd Knight , Llndsa ;
nnd Smith came In , Clancy nroa'e. Hi
charges that as soon aa the room was en
tered by the three men .Lindsay picked m
n stove lifter nnd threw It at his partner
who wns still In bed. '
During the scrimmage which ensued tin
front door of the house was nUo brokci
open. This nnniscd Clancy's wrath , Drnw
Ing a knife ho went after the party , Hi
struck at Knight and believed that he lit !
him In the neck , ns blood flowed. Thl ;
cooled .the ardor of the ngftnultlnR part }
nnd they retreated. Smith was nrrestcc !
later by the police nnd gave practically the
same version of the affair. Lindsay and
Knight could not be locntcd Wednesday n'lgtn
and had not been found at noon yesterday.
Clancy appeared at the police court yester
day nnd swore to n complaint agalnsl
the three men , charging them with rob
bery. Grounds for this were found In thi
fact that the quarrel first arose over money ,
Clnncy's pnrtner had some money , which
ho refused to give to the gang ; or to spcml
for liquor , and therefore the others became
angered at him.
"Torsy'- ' Knight nnd Jimmy Lindsay an
Ptlll nt large. Smith was arrested ns t
suspicious character at midnight Wcdncs
day , and a new charge of assault nnd bat
tery will be lodged against him. He says hi

of Women's Clubs Is the ihcai
gratifying Information that has been
received by the members of the
Omaha Woman's club since its Inception.
The victory Is regarded as a high tribute tc
the earnestness and ability of the Omaha
women who brought about the result and
the success Is the more gratifying on ac
count of the fact that the battle- was fought
against tremendous odds and at first with
i o apparent prospect of victory. And foi
this reason trie news has Inspired the Omaha
women with new enthusiasm. It is believed
to Indicate that the1 other projects which
the club has In vlow will be carried forward
with brilliant prospects of success.
The women nre still engaged In congratu
lating themselves and each other and have
had scarcely time to begin to plan for
the reception and entertainment of their
guests. The matter will not be ofilclally
considered until after the return of Mrs.
Ford , as It Is not exactly known on what
terms the convention .was secured.
Mrs. Llndsey said yesterday that as
soon as Mrs. Ford'.hadi made her report the
task of arranging'for the convention would
probably be taken-up. Some of the hardest
work was yet to come and It was Important
that It should be taken up In time , KOI that
nothing might be lacking to mak the con
vention an unprecedented success. The
Louisville affair was the second convention
of the federation and. . It Included 1,000 dele
gates and fully 500 . .visitors. Mrs. Llndsey
expected that with theiadded Interest which
would ibu'aroused ' i by tha. . exposition 'and.-the
favorable railroad rates that wound prob
ably be extended at that time , the Omaha
convention would bring out a largely In
creased attendance. The sessions of the
convention only occupied two days , but
many of the vlnltors would undoubtedly re
main In the city for some days to attend
the exposition. Mrs. Ford had been nu-
thorlzed by the club to offer to entertain
nil delegates free of charge , but whether
the directory had Insisted on that conces
sion would not be known until after she
returned. In any case the club -would be
equal to the emergency and would enter
tain the convention In a manner that would
bo fully in keeping with the hospitable
reputation that Omaha enjoyed.

Is a dangerous disease. It may lead di

It is by purifying the blood. Hood's Sar-

A difficulty exists between W. B. Cheatham
local agent of the Illinois Canning company ,
and J. II. Patrick , ono of the solicitors.
Cheatham yesterday filed an Information
In police court against Patrick , charging
him with forging orders for canned goods
put up by the company. This threatened
prosecution is alleged to have been begun
in retaliation on account of a civil suit
brought by Patrick In Justice of the Peace
Orosby's court for non-payment of salary.
Patrick alleges that ho was hired at a salary
al $1 a day and did not receive three days'
pay. Ho therefore began legal proceedings
to recover $3. This case Is to be tried this
morning.
When the Information against Patrick was
filed yesterday Cheatham was very anxious
that the warrant should not ba served
until after the trial-of the civil suit. He
ald that In this cato he expected to extract
such testimony from Patrick and that it
would bo valuable In thu criminal prosecu
tion. Cheathamwag very much excited
when ho learned that ( the facts In the case
were known to tie reporters of the dally
press and ho made a strenuous effort to sup
press publication of the usuar.co of the war
rant.
rant.Cheatham. . has been engaged In the busi
ness of disposing of the products-of hla com-
liany In this vicinity. Ho has hired so
licitors to canvass rraLIenco portions of the
illy. When some orders have been ob-
iatned h9 has turncd'tJicni over to some re-
; all grocer on conrtltlo/i that the latter pur
chased a certain portion of the canned goods.

The session of court yesterday mornlnf
was consumed In the cross-examination o
1J. K. 11 , Kennedy. In his testimony Wodncs
day afternoon ho testified that .Mrs. Rrtggs
business Investments had been made largelj
upon his advice ami suggestion and rcfercnci
wns made to the stock farm west of town
in which $35,000 wnsInvested In 1S93. Sir
Kennedy alluded to the latter Investment
as "a losing venture. " On his examination
yesterday by the attorneys for the con.
testnnt , Mr. Kennedy admitted , under t.
searching cross-examination , that Mrs
Drlggs had acted almost entirely under thi
advice and suggestion of her eon , Clinton ,
nnd that the active management ot the
entire affairs of the estate had devolved upon
Clinton during the last four or five years.
Mr. Kennedy admitted that ho knew nothing
about the buulness of the stock farm and
declined to contradict the statement of General -
oral Cowln , counsel for Clinton Hrlggs , to
the effect that the present appraised value of
the farm and stock was nearly $25,000 , and
that between $12,000 and $14.000 had been
realized by the sale of stock and revenue
from the farm. Ho admitted that this was
a very creditable showing In the face of the
gcneril depreciation In the value of horse
flesh. Mr. Kennedy said he was unable to
recall any Icttanecs In which the estate had
lost money through the management of
Clinton , and eatd that the only knowledge
ho had that such was the case was through
the statements of Mrs. Drlggs within the
last year of her lifetime.
At the afternoon opwioil Judge Brown of
Lincoln , n prominent banker ot the capital
city , testified that he had known Judge
Hrlggs during his lifetime and that the
Brlgga family and the family of the witness
frequently exchanged visits. Ho tuld It was
not uncommon for Mrs. Brlggs and Clinton
to visit at his house for several days at a
time several times during the year , and ho
referred to the 'numerous Instances when
Mrs. Brlggs ha-4 discussed her .private affairs
with the witness. In all ot which ho said she
had shown a desire to provide liberally for
her eon. The witness also testified that Mrs
Brlggs had told' him of her last will , saying
she had made changes ) In It and that Clinton
was familiar with the terms of the document
and was satisfied with It. Tile testimony
also went to show that Mrs. Brlggs waa ac
customed to rely upon her eon almost entirely
In the management of her affaire.
