PREFERRED DEATH TO POVERTY. Bank President Ullman Suicides-Several Suspensions Result. BRUNSWICK, GA., May 18.-M. UIIman, president of the Oglethorpe National Bank, committed suicide in the toiletroom of the bank this morning. Up to this time he was considered one of the wealthiest men in this section. Besides being president of the Oglethrope Bank he was president of the Brunswick Brewing and Ice Company, and a line of river steamers, and was a larger stockholder in various enterprises. President /Burbage, of the First National Bank, called at the Oglethorpe Bank shortly after opening and requested Ullman to repay a loan made the day before. "All right, wait a moment," said Ullman, stepping into the toilet-room. A moment later Burbage heard a report. Ullman was found sitting upright with a bullet hole in the centre of his forehead. In his pockets were found an ounce bottle of laudanum, and an unsigned bond drawn to protect a large depositor who had demanded his money the day before. The supposition is that Ullman had been crazed by financial troubles, and that his inability to protect his friends drove him to suicide. The news spread rapidly, and depositors started a run. In a few minutes the Oglethorpe National closed its doors, followed almost immediately by the First National. A slight run commenced on the Brunswick State Bank, but it met all demands. Mayor & Ullman, wholesale grocers, have closed temporarily. The firm is composed of Sam Mayer and M. Ullman. The Brunswick Brewery and the Brunswick Cotton Factory will also close temporarily. Rumors affecting the two banks had been in circulation for several days. These became public after the tragedy, causing the runs. The Oglethorpe was capitalized at $150,000, and the First National Bank at $200,000. The officers of both banks say that claims will be paid in full. Bank examiners have been wired for, and pending their arrival nothing definite will be known. Business will not suffer to any great extent. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 18.-Comptroller Eckels this afternoon ordered Bank Examiner John Carskedan, of West Virginia, to Brunswick to take charge of the First National Bank and the Oglethorpe National Bank of Brunswick, both of which closed their doors this morning. The First National Bank had capital of $200,000 and the Oglethorpe Bank of $150,000. The resources of the banks on May 4th, as reported, were for the former $492,000, and for the latter $682,000.

BANKERS MORE HOPEFUL The Money Stringency at New York Passing Away-Chieago Banks Criticiand. NEW YORK, July 13.-The hopeful feeling among the bankers of this city was even more pronounced to-day than yesterday. Frederick D. Tappen, president of the Gallatin National Bank. said that one of the most necessary things was the resumption of the normal relations between the subtreasury and the clearing house. No clearing-house loan certificates were issued today and none were retired. but it is known that if the same easy condition prevails next week some large blocks of the certificates will then be retired. Mr. Tappen said this afternoon that there would not be trouble in the money market. Money. he said, would probably be easy right along, and within a week or ten days there would be & superabundance of currency here. particularly in notes of small donominations. Some of the banks would probably be asking that their clearinghouse balances might be paid in loan cere tilicates rather than currency. It was possible there might be a few more loan certificates issued. a hundred thousand dollars or 80 to some small bank. perhaps. but if the present conditions continue the certificates will be steadily retired, and by the end of three months, possibly, all will be canceled. Some amusement was caused by the al. leged utterance of some Chicago bank officers, as reported in the morning papers, reflecting on the New York:banks. Aprom. inent bank president of this city expressed the opinion of a great many bank presidents on the subject when he said: "That is merely some wind off Lake Michigan. It would be much more to the purpose if the Chicago banks paid off their debts to the New York banks and talked afterwards. There are very few banks in Chicago that did not borrow every dollarthey could from the banks in New York city during the recent ,stringency, and they could not have continued business if we had not supplied them with currency on these loans." Another Western utterance that caused some amosement among the bank officers here was the reference, in the Denver rean. lutions, to New York banks. 1 am surprised at those statements," said a a a tional bank president. because we aveextended every possible accommodation to Colorado banks, and especially to the banks of Denver. end. therefore, I can hardly believe that the best people of that city indorse the sentiments contained in those resolutions." The steamship City of Alexandria arrived from Havana, last evening. with $500,000 gold. consigned to the Western No. tional Bank of this city. Business Troubles. NEW YORK. July 13.-Riehard M. Olcot, carrying on business under the name of Gieot & Co., exporters. at No. 56 New street, to-day assigned to John 8. Darant. Mr. Olcott's embarrasement is attributed to the present financial stringency and the effect of the heavy losses in Argentine some time ago. His liabilities are not definitely known, but are reported to be from $100,000 to $150,000. LINCOLY Neb.. July 13.-The Nebraska Savings Bank, of this city, was taken charge of by the State Banking Board tonight. It has deposits of about $110,000. It was embarrassed some months ago by the failure of the Capitol National Bank, but secured an extension from its creditors. Failing to realize on securities. the directors voluntarily assigned. CHICAGO, July 13.-A receiver was &Dpointed for the real-estate firm of W. A. Merigold & Co., to-day. The firm did a very large business, and its collapse was unexpected. W. A.

banner year. The other houses are not so enthusiastic in their utterances, but all agree that the grocery trade has not been seriously affected by the general depression. Collections have been a little off for the week, though they average well for the month. "I was very much surprised to learn from the credit man of one of the great packing houses in this city, which does a business of $16,000,000 in a single year, that their losses from bad bills up to the present year have been less than one-twentieth of 1 per cent. Tne present year may not show up so well, but the percentage of loss is so small as hardly to be worth considering. It IS perhaps proper to say that this house is a large patron of the agencies devoted to the work of reporting on credits of all classes of dealers. "Dry goods houses all report good trade. Hardware men are well satisfied. Clothing houses report an improvement and shoe men call trade fair. In other lines the situation is not at all bad, though they are not boasting of any increase of sales. "In retail circles the feeling is better, but trade is really not very much improved, except in the retail clothing stores and among dealers in necessities. "Banks report deposits slowly increasing and the demand for money from their customers not extraordinary. While not proclaiming it from the house tops, they are not refusing good loans. The important event in banking circles for the week was the reopening of the McCague Savings bank on Thursday. As this is the first, savings bank in the state to reopen after a suspension and its showing of resources being very gratifying, the management is recelving the very warm congratulations to which it is entitled. It was a herculean task and its success deserves special comment. "The state banking board has done a good thing for the state by calling down the Washington authorities for making misleading statements in regard to the number and extent of the fatalities among the state banks during the present year. The Washington statement is intended to give the impression that thirty-five state banks have practically failed in Nobraska since January 1, whereas, as a matter of fact, not more than six, and in all probability not more than four, can properly be classed as failures. The mistake of the authorities is in classing all suspensions as failures, whereas several have been trans. ferred, others went into voluntary liquidation and still others have been consolidated. The only state banks now in the hands of receivers in the state are the State bank at Cortland, the Farmers & Merchants bank at Elk Creek, State bank at Franklin, Nebraska Savings bank of Lincoln, American Savings bank of Omaha, Holt County bank, State bank of Plainview, Farmers State bank of Schubert, Dickinson's bank of Wahoo and Farmers and Merchants bank of Bassett. Of these it is believed all but six, and possibly all but four, will pay out in full, if not resume. Of the six national banks which suspended only two can be classed as failures and three have already resumed. The other will probably get on its feet within a month.

# GADD'S SENTENCE IS LIGHT Given One Year for Swindling the Broken Bow Land Office. # MERCY SHOWN IN ANOTHER CASE Postmaster Orensdorf of Spring Ranch Will Go to Sloux Falls for Twelve Months as a Penalty for Stealing One Thousand Dollars. LINCOLN, March 29.-(Special Telegram.) -Judge Dundy sentenced Nathan T. Gadd to one year and four months in the Sioux Falls penitentiary. Gadd, however, took the matter stoically and was not apparently very deeply affected. Mrs. Gadd and her little daughter left the court room before sentence was pronounced on the Broken Bow embezzler. Judge Dundy made the term of imprisonment a year lighter than he had intended; and Gadd can cut this down three months by good conduct. Postmaster Orensdorf of Spring Ranch was also sentenced by Judge Dundy to one year and a day in the Sioux Falls penitentiary. Orensdorf embezzled $1,014.81 of department funds. Attorney J. L. Epperson spoke for clemency in the prisoner's behalf, pleading for mercy on the ground that he had made full restitution. When Judge Dundy reminded him that he could shorten his term three months by good behavior Orensdorf broke down and wept like a child. Both Gadd and Orensdorf were fined $2,018.87 and $1.014.81 respectively in addition to the penitentiary sentence. # CHARGED WITH MURDER. In the district court today information was filed against Charles M. Krossen and Patrick H. Suddith, charging murder in the second degree and accessory before the fact. Krossen was city marshal at Waverly last fall and attempted to quell a row in which William Holt and others figured. In the discharge of his duties Krossen shot and killed Holt. At the September term of court the transcript was filed. On complaint of George B. Scott a warrant is out for H. F. Atherton. He jumped a board bill. Atherton is a convict out on parole, and has been running a book business at Tenth and O streets. There are against him a number of other complaints charging swindling. As Atherton has been conducting his book business on the square, and his arrest on the board bill charge being a civil contract, his arrest can do the complainant no good, as the penitentiary would have the first hold on him on account of the parole. The receiver of the Nebraska Savings bank, C. H. Morrill, has sold at public auction the assets of the bank. Apparently little value was placed on them. Total bids for the notes and real estate were $1,954.25. Allen W. Field bought the entire assets for $3,300, a shrinkage of over $100,000 from the face value, or $100,000 below what the bank had invested in these securities.
