gram to Tun line.I About 7:30 : o'clock
this morning Ucnoon S. Hatton of this city
anil Mrs : Agnes J. Kusscll of St. Joseph ,
Mo. , were found dead In the former's room
In n tenement house at the corner of Ninth
and Walnut streets. Other roomers on the
floor noticed the strong smell of gas , nnd not
having' seen 3Ir. Hatton since Saturday
night , surmised tbnt something was wrong.
The iloor of the room was forced open and
the terrible truth discovered.
Mr. Hnttorv was lying dead under the cov
ers of the bed , robed In his nightgown , nnd
tvcross the foot ot the bed lay Mrs. Kusscll ,
also In her night robes. Asphyxiation by
gas was the cause.
Tbo "Instantaneous" gas heater was burnIng -
Ing at full height In the bath room adjoining ,
and the walls were recking with sweat ,
caused by the escaping steam. This Indi
cated plainly that In using the bath tub the
couple had neglected to open a window for
ventilation , and the waste gas from tbo
heater had filled the room and overcame
them. Bottles of liquor nnd glasses were on
n table , showing thev had been drinking
some , but It Is not known whether they had
become intoxicated.
Mr. Hntton was not generally a drinking
man. lie was trie brother of Thomas Hat-
ton , the well known real estate man here ,
nnd was , up to the time of his death , cashier
of the Central loan and trust company.
Mrs. Kusscll was the divorced wife of a St.
Joseph man , and the latter Is said'to bo at
present In St. 1'nul , Minn.
It Is said Mr. Hntton nnd Mrs. Uussell wcro
old-tima lovers , and that It was through Hat-
ton's influence the divorce was obtained.
Mrs. Husscll had n son in St. Joseph , who is
employed by the Chicago , St , Paul It , Kansas
City railway company , am1 Is expected hero
this evening to attend the coroner's inquest.
There is no doubt the cotiplo had been dead
since Saturday night.

Inspector llyrncs Kccpln-r Close
AVntch of the Italians.
Nr.w YOIIK , Alarch 23. ( Special Telegram
to THE Bnc. ] An evening paper says : Chief
Inspector Byrnes fully realizes the necessity
at this ttmo'of curbing the revengeful spirit
of the Italian colonists of this city and pre
venting the exhibition of too much aggres
siveness over the episode ut Now Orleans.
The poorer classes of Italians
nro considerably excited over what
they regard as a high-handed outrage
and an outbreak may occur at any time. Do-
tcctlvo Sergeants Perrezo nnd Sls&aro of the
central oftlco have been unremitting In their
labors nmong the Italians during the past
week , They have succeeded in locating two
lenders of the Maflu of New Orleans who
arrived In this city Friday lustTho. .
names of these men are Lulgl Con-
tenarl and Autonto Maleschi. The men are
being shadowed by Byrnes' men , who have
orders that at tbo llrst slgu of any attempt to
Incite tholr countrymen iho two are to bo
arrested and laudou ut the Mulberry street
headquarters. *
Already agents of the Mafia are nt work
nmong the members of the fraternity in this
city. Several secret mcetinits were held
yesterday In different parts of the city , but
owing to the Inspector's forethought aud dis
cretion in assigning members of the police
force who nro conversant with the Italian
language , he succeeded in having a trusted
agent in disgulso prcsont.it each gatho ring ,
and today he is in possession of tno knawl-
edgeof the complete proceedings carried on
nt each meeting.
Considerable speculation is Indulged in re
garding the object of the visit of the two em
issaries from New Orleans. Various theories
have been advanced , but the Idea that pre
vails generally Is that they have been com
missioned to select certain members of tno
New York branch to visit the Crescent city
for the purpose of beginning the work of ven-
gcnnco.

the wedding Is extremely unlikely to take

proceeds from Mrs. O'Shea , who , It Is al

mover wns before the state senate commit-
tco Investigating the sugar trust again today.
Asked how the so called trust "was formed ,
witness said that In 1SS3 , when his Brooklyn
factory was burned , ho did not think it sale
to rebuild In this country because of possible
changes In the tariff. After some considera
tion , however , bo did rebuild at a cost of
$7,000,000 In eighteen months. They did not
capitalize the company nt its full values.
This would have placed them at a disadvan
tage as to competitors who were not forced
to pay the taxes they were. The capital
was put at $500,000. Finally nls brother aud
himself decided to submit their Interests and
stock to the trustees of the sugar refiners
company nnd received therefor a certain
mnount of sugar refiners' certificates of stocK
He refused to state this amount , and when
asked the value of the" plant when they formed
the trust said he could not tell. Besides the
plant's actual value , It represented the expe
rience of generations aud a private patent
process which could not IKS valued. Ho would
value the establishment now at $10,000,000
without considering the good will. When
asked what his reasons were for Joining all
these other companies. Mr. Havomeycr said :
" 1 wanted to put all other organizations on the
same footing with us. Wo were nblo to refine
sugarlO cents per 100 pounds cheaper than they
could. We had been repeatedly accused of
controlling a monopoly. These people labored
under the supposition tbat we were conductIng -
Ing our business Illegally. " Mr. Havcmoycr
repeated continually that ho was anxious to
glvo the committed the fullest Information
In his power , but bib testimony was as near
as he would come to his real reasons for JoinIng -
Ing the trust. In fact , ho loft It to bo in
ferred tbnt the reason "which mainly gov
erned him was. tbo . { Amoral welfare of tbo
public. Adjourned unlit Saturday.

A.s \ New Vork National Bank In
7 rouble.
NEW YOIIK , March 23. An ofllclal an
nouncement was rnado tonight that the
Washington National bank. ntNo. 1 Broad
way , would n6t open Its doors tomorrow.
Tbo bank's resources have been loaned out
by the president to two friends , and the dis
covery of the condition was accidentally
made. The bank is not a member of the
clearinghouse association , but clears through
the Gallatln National bans. Under the rule
of the clearine house which went into effect
January 1 banks clearing In this city must
submit their accounU to examination by the
clearinghouse.
Today Bank Examiner Hepburn , repre
senting the clearinghouse. appeared at the
Washington bank to examine- affairs. Ho
soon discovered that its capital was Im
paired. As soon as this announcement was
made President Sherman , who has been in
charge of the bank , was prostrated , but re
covered sufficiently to Inform the directors
that ho had been too llbo-al in lending money
to his friends , Two accounts have been dis
covered , footing up ? 12I,000 , , that are proba
bly a total losa. One Is for ? 70,000 , secured
bv poor and worthless collateral , and the
other is a draft for 50,000 on John Silvo ,
which had been cashed bv the president and
"hung on the hook. " It is said that Silvu
has uromiscd to make the draft good tomor
row.
row.Tho bank had a sapiUil of $300,000 and deposits -
posits of ? OOO,000. The only ottlcers present
when the complete announcement was made
by the bank examiner wore Cashier J. T.
Gralngernnd Director SIdnoyTighlman. The
president had gene away , no ono know wnere.
Tbo president of the Uallatln bank at once
gave notice that his institution would no
longer clear for the Washington bank. This
will prevent any attempt being made to make
up tbo losses.
Director Tlghlman said : "Tho bank will
bo placed in charge of Dank Examiner Hep
burn nnd most probably wound up. 1 am
positive tbat e erv depositor will ba paid in
full. "
Cashier Qratngcr said the developments
were n surprise to both himself and the di
rectors. Nona of them had any idea that the
president was Involved In any Irregular trans
actions and ho could say nothing about the
details of the methods by which the funds
were withdrawn.
Director Tlehl man said that ho discovered
some slight u regularities about n week airo.
An investigation disclosed an Impairment of
capital In the neighborhood of $75,000. The
officials of the Gallatln National wore very
friendly anu pron.lsed to continue to clear for
tbo banlc if the impairment was made good.
Tighlman was about to pay In a check for
$75,000 today when President Sherman dis
closed other things which bad been
concealed , increasing the Impairment
fully SCO.OOO. Under these clr-
cumstanccs Tlgblman did not see
how tbo bank could continue. "We began
business last Juno. " said he , "with a paid-up
capital of fcWO.OOO. Tbo directors all had con
fidence In President Sherman , and It did seem
as though a man who had been cashier of an
nrtlvo Now York bank for a number of years ,
which bad deposits and capital amounting to
nearly $7,000,000. would ba able to run suc
cessfully a small bank starting with 300,000
capital. Tee directors have held regular
meetings nnd given considerable attention to
the details of the bank , but It seems It was
not possible to follow tbo Intricacies of
a well conceived plan for hiding facts In regard -
gard U > tbo condition of the nank. Our net
deposits nt the present time are only about
JiJUO.OOO. Our capital , although only SW.OOO ,
1 feel sure is moro than enough to secure
every depositor. I am positive every depos
itor will bo paid In full wltnout any call on
the stockholders. "
President Sherman was seen this evening.
Ho feels keenly the closing of the bank und
laid U was unnecessary aud that all would
j
hnvo been right If the directors lilet him

leave of him and Mrs. Lowls In the train deluxe
luxe this morning for London , "it is the llrst
time 1 atn going homo a winner In ten years.
I have been here often , having done In
tivo weeks35,000 without seeing
the color of their money. Slnco this Oay u
fortnight , however , luck turned In my favor
and I have taken from them straight off the
reel over 1,000,000 francs , but I Oon't llko
them any better lor It. They are a mean ,
shabby lot , for when they are raking In your
.money , that la when you are losing ,
Hhoy nru cunningly polite and 'glvo

stknco'when l'am Hn t&Mn l'flnra 'plnmp'
down another maximum , making the coup
24,000 francs , or In other words , laying two
to one on myself , but whoa I am winning O ,
dear no ; they brush off the second maximum
In the rudest manner , while the croupiers are
making insolent remarks to cacti other. Why
at the finish when I was continually winning
I was surrounded by a crowd of employes
and followed about the rooms like a pick
pocket. What Is meant by HI never could
conceive. Anyone might havasupposed that
I was dealing the cards. I am not. a croupier.
What riled them most of all was that I never
sat down at thotabla from the time my luck
turned , for -whilst I was losing I would sit
down and take the nocdlo ana do
In nil I had with mo. Ono night they got
over 10,000 out of me In this way. You
have considerable pull over them when you
are standing , as after one or two losses one
gets disgusted and walks away to another
tablo. I was watched. Oh , by the way ,
could anything bo stronger proof of
their shabbiucss than their not
paying on the misdeal you
alluded to In the Herald the other day ! I
had about the maximum on black , vtblch
made the point thirty-one nndMhcrcabouts n
tenner on red. I called on the manager , M.
Therslllot , to ba paid the money I considered
I nad fairly won , when ho told mo that it was
gracious , etc. , on their part to allow mo to
withdraw ray stake. I lot him at
on co know that I wanted no
favors from the gnmullug rooms
of Monaco nnd promptly offered him my
cheque for . 240 , being the amount I should
have lost on rcfult had there been no mis
deal. This ho did not cheese to accept , sar
castically remarking that ho would give It to
the poor If I wished it.
"Anyhow , " continued Mr. Lewis , "I got
back my ! fiJOO ( of losses and some 15,000 or
more of their money at the cad , and I mean
to stick to lt , I always play In maximums
and believe in even chances , and even shakes
systems are a humbug and are invented for
old women. Every year you hear of some
wonderful systems being played , but after a
few days or weeks of Imaginary success
they all go broke. There is a now ono being

LINCOLN , Xcb. , March 20. [ Special to
Tun UIE. : ] It wns believed that an of.
ort would be made this moriilin ; to break
the deadlock in tbo senate and pass the New-
berry bill , but the move was deferred until
this afternoon.
Contrary to expectations Senator Coulter
did not make his appearance In the scnato
clmmuor this morning. It was announced as
a reason for this disappointment that the
gontlcmnn was so 111 that It would endanger
bis llfo to have him leave his room. Tim
lien's disclosure of the Independent move to
Ipnore Lieutenant Governor Majors as presi
dent of the senate and act under
the president pro tern , Senator 1'oyuter ,
c.iusoJ that faction to postpone its content *
plated revolution.
The proposition of the onpositlon to the indo-
pcnaenUnpublished elsewhere inTiic IInwas ,
handed to the latter this morninp. No traca
has yet been discovered of Taylor's ' present
whereabouts.
The proposition of the opposition senator
was signed by the following senators : Swltz-
ler , Moore , Shuinway , Schr.im , Woods ,
KfTKleston , Wilson , Stnrbuck , Thomas , Mat
tes , Christoffcrbon and Collins. Scmito <
Shea was uunblo to bo present bccuuso of ill
ness and was not atilo consequently to attach ,
his signature , though It Is known that hq
favors the amendments. Senator Drown and
Vanllouscn did not sign the document , al
though they voted to take a recess on Friday
lost In order that the bill might bo amended *
This nfternoon several of the opposition
members looked ngtiast towards thu chair ot
the senute which , to their surprise , was oo'
cunlcd bv Senator Stevens. Up to thlJ
time , when Lieutenant povornor Majors htuj
been absent from the cbntr. ho has always
taken pains to see that It win occuuicd by
one of the senators who have been in sympdi
thy with his rulings. The presence of Scnatof
Slovens in tbo chair led to nu Invostigattbn.
The pentloman hud been coated bcsldo tha
lieutenant governor for some time , engaged
In conversation. It became necnr.sary for tbo
latter to leave the room , and ho accordingly
said to the gentleman near him :
"Senator , I must go cut for awhile. Now ,
if I ask you to take the chair , wlllyou prom
ise me to maintain the same state of affairs
as exists nt the present tlmo ? "
Senator Stevens replied , "I will , sir. "
The lieutenant covernor then retired nnd
Senator Slovens took his place , . The latter
did nothing , however , to attract attention.
Ho buried hlmsoly In the nmplo chair and
read TIIK BEE , holding the paper almost
nbovo bis head. After n short interval
Lieutenant Governor Majors returned and
resumed bis seat.
This nfternoon at 5JJO : o'clock the deadlock
In the senate was broken , and the reading of
the Newberry maximum rate bill wus i'on
tlnued from page 143 , at which nago It was
discontinued by the call of the house on Prl
ilav last.
Shortly before the hour mentioned the an-
swerof the independents to the proposal of
the opposition senators made its apjfcaruncd
in the chamber. It was presented to tlio in
dependent senators and was signed by them.
It wns then passed to several of Iho senators
who had previously supported the deadlock
and was signed " "y thotn also. AH soon as the
latter f net became known the senators who
had insisted upon supporting the dcadloclf
knew that they had Decn defeated.
Tbo reply was not read in the senate , but
ran us follows :
