Tho cer- tificates may be enclosed with the bill of lad- ing, but each pankago must bear tho official label aftlxed at the American port from which It was sent. Tho attention of nil Berlin is engrossed by a scandal involving Herr BleichrOder, tho mil- lionaire banker, friend of Prlnco Bismarok, and Jewish philanthropist BlelohrOdor Is charged with having perjured himself ton years ago so as to rid himself ot his former mistress. Frau Croner. wlfo ot a fashionable tailor in Untor den Linden. BleichrOder swore in court that he had not signed a cer- tain. Incriminating paper which subsequently vanlshos from the court archives. This disap- pearance is said to have boon accomplished through BlolehrOdor's closo relations to the Chancellor. The Emperor ordered an Inquiry, but tho world never learned anything of its results. Tho matter was allowod to rest lnthopublio mind until tho agitator. Antljen Ahlwardt, told In u pamphlet tho wholo story of Bloleh- rOdor's relations to Frau Croner. the lawsuit, and tho banker's rooent negotiations with Uerr Croner. who is now in London. But a short time ago, Ahlwardt says. BleichrOder sent his friend. Dr. Weber, to London to treat with Croner as to a cessation of hostilities. This mission was tho result of tho tailor's menace thut ho would oxposo tho dotatls of BlolehrOdor's intimacy and perjury unlosrf ho rooeived n substantial sum. Wobor paid Croner. Ahlwardt says, 10.000 marks down, and agreed in writing to pay him 0,000 marks annually for life. Alleged ot all tho documents, in- cluding tho London agreement, aro given in Ahlwurdt's pamphlet Ahlwardt says that BlelchrOdor offered him a largo sum to refrain from publishing tho pamphlet, but ho refused to entertain the banker's proposals as he con- sidered it bis duty to help purge Germany of tho Jews. BleichrOder has denlod tbo authen- ticity of the documents reproduced in tho pamphlet and threatens to sue Ahlwardt tor libel. BlelchrOdcrH frionds say that Ahlwardt Is a blackmailer, but there la nothing in Ahl- wardt' s record to sustain suoh a charge. The Government has announced that It will Introduce a bill in the Reichstag to provide 500.000 marks tor use In tho secret service. This iu a move toward tbo conciliation ot the clericals. The interest of tho Guelph fund, as mentioned in last woek's despatches, has hitherto been applied to secret expenditures of the Foreign Ofllco. and honoe only 48.000 .marks were annually appropriated by tho BeUchstag to this purpose. The proposed ap- propriation will clear tho way for the release of the Ouelph fund, and its restoration, aa de- sired by the clericals, to the Hanoverian heirs. A romarkable court trial has just been con-elud- in Bayreuth. Forty-on- e local working-men.wer- o accused of attacking and maltreat- - by the Siemens Electrio Company to complete the now telegraph line between Berlin and Munich. The prisoners were marched into court throe abreast and fifty policemen wore stationed In the room and before the doors to suppress all of the prevalent sympathy of the publlo for the men on trial. No witness was examined. The Chief of Pollco made his state- ment and thirty-fou- r of tho men were sen- tenced to terms of Imprisonment varying from three to twenty-on- e months. The other seven were acquitted. All radical dallies critloise severely these hlgh-hando- d proceedings, and several mass meetings of workingmen In Munich and the neighborhood havo protested against them. Oscar Meyer, a Berlin broker, caused tho ar- rest of Herr Chedomez, manager ot a large Berlin business bouse, for losing on 'Change 170.000 marks of his firm's money, which he had taken without their knowledge. Chedo- mez was kept In jail soveral weeks, and came to trial on Wednesday. Ho was acquitted, and Meyer was rebuked by the Court for causing his arrest on insufficient evidence. During the Czar's recent visit in Fredenborg a rich Danish artisan was invited, according to the custom at tho Danish palaces, to dine with tho royal family. The Czar addressed a fow remarks to him in French, and the artisan apologized in German for his Inability to un- derstand that language. Tho Czar answered tartly: \ I cannot bear Gorman. It is an ugly lan- guage.\ and shitted his position so as to show tbo urtlann his buck. It It! said that tho Imperial Minister to Mex- ico.

A reporter who returned from Brlcevlllo and Coal Crook early this morning found matters qulot. Groups of mon could bo seen everywhere discussing tho ovont of Friday night ThoBricovillo stockades with tho exception of tho north wall and tho rifle pit wero burnod. Tho eight-roo- houses nnd a largo dining hall Insldo of tiro lnclosuro went iu tho general conflagration. At, tho lower end of tho Coal Creek stockade tho ofllco building was burnod nnd thu guard \Bhiicks\ demolished. The Interior, of tho convicts' dining hall, sleeping room, hos- pital, ward, and kitchen wero filled with broken furnlturo and shattered glass. Thu storo of Warden Chumley was Tooted, and nbout S500 worth of goods wero destroyed. Tho citizens ot llilcevlllo began to hear squads of men passing tho place, on their way to tho stockades, between 8 and 0 o'clock on Friday night This was kept up for noarly nu hour. It wns about 0:30 when 200 mon descended Walden'sllldgu, approach- ing the stockade from the east They called upun Wardon Cross to deliver tho keys of tho prison.

Tho ofllco building was set on flro by tho overturning of a stovo. Tho mob then de- scended totho valley, whoro they sot off soveral dynamite bombs and flrud a small cannon tlioy had with thorn. Tho racket occasioned by tlioso discharges, together with tho oxploslun ot tho ammunition stored nt the Brlcovlllo stockade, which thu lira touchod off, created the Impression among that a small war was in progress. This, howover. was not tho caso. as thoro was not a single shot fired at any , man. The woods, fields, and railroad tracks around tho two stockades woro generously strown with tho striped suits of the rnloased convicts.

One convict arrivod at a small, sottlemont near Coal Creek, who was still In his stripes, and ho was qulckly'bent on his way rejoicing. Soveral gangs have boon soon at various points along the railroad yestorday. Homo of tho convicts who could not obtain citizens' clothes returned to Coal Creek during tho day and surrendered to thu gunrdB. Fivo were captured and brought to Knoxvillu. A SJREET CAR CRABB.

Boston. Nov. 1. Tho doors of tho Mavorick National Bank will not opon for business to- morrow morning. This moans that tho most prominent financial institution in Now Eng- land has boon forced to suspend pnymont. That tho blow will fall bo suddenly Is the only occasion of surprise. It had boon antici- pated to a certain exionc, and for this reason It can be positively statod that tho falluro will not entail any widespread financial ovlls. Somo idea of tho oxtont of tho falluro can bs cloanod from tho fact that ten days ago the doposltsinthe bank amounted tomoro than $10,000,000. tho bank depositors numbering more than 300. and individual depositors about 1.300. But the most soneatlonal fcaturo of the fall- uro is tho announcement that as far buck as January last Bank Examiner Maerudor re- ported to Mr. Lacoy. Comptrollorof thoCurren-cy- . thai tho bank was In a bad condition again in September Mr. Magrudcr reportod to the Comptrollorof tho Currency that tho bank was rotfon. In spitoof these warnings tho bank was pormlttod to contlnuo in business. It is a reproduction of tho infamous Eoy-Bto- Bank robbor. In which Republican off- icials figured in such an unsavory manner. To- day Bank Examiner Mngrudcr dropped dead of heart dUease, incidental to tho mental over tho pending oxposurs. Ills lifo was sacrificed by his political bosses in Washington, and millions of dollars havo gono up in a big speculation bubblo. which might have been saved if Republican officials had not betrayed their trust Tho official announcement of the suspension was made by the Clearing House Commltteo last ovenlng in tho following form: Bostox. Nov. 3 The National Bunk Examiner, acting nnder the Instructions of the Comptroller of the Cur- rency, has closed the Maverick National Hank. Tho Clearing liouss committee of the Boston banks has called a meeting of the members of the Clearing House at half past 9 o'clock this morning to take action upon a proposition recommended by the committee that all the banks composing the associa- tion unite In making advances In cash to tbo depos- itors in the Maverick Itank. The object ot making these advances Is to relieve the temporary embarrass- ment of the depositors. Tnosis P. Besl. yuLi!i IIivkx, Jr. ALSLST NlWIAS, l'HISlCAS PlEBCK. ' ' Josiw.Wiussas. \Clearing o Committee. Tho immodtate causo of tho bank's suspen- sion was tho suicido of Irving A. E. Evans and tho talk which followed it The losses of the bank by its dealings with Evans was not large enough to seriously injure it It was said that tho creditors of Mr. Evans would notloso moro than $500,000. That is true, and it is also true that not more than $200,000 of that amount falls upon the Ma- verick Bank. But tho talk of the street mado tho bank's loss far greater. Tho storlos lncludod rumors of the ugliest description abou) Mr. rotter and his relations with thn dead broker. Most of these stories wero ontlrcly false. Tho facta in the matter aro in tho possession of The Sum, and. whilo tho present situation docs not justify tholr publication. It can bo said unequivocally that they aro in no sonso discreditable to Mr. Fottor. The gossip about tho bank. Instead of sub- siding, lncreasod to flood tldo. and bocame of tho most damaging character. Tho inevitable offoct began to bo felt more than a month ago. Homo of tho principal depositors one after another withdrew their accounts. The depos- its in tho bank ton days ago amounted to more than $10,000,000. During last weok moro than $1,700,000 was withdrawn. Stato Treasurer Marden with- drew somo $00,000 of the commonwealth's funds which wero on deposit there. Other trust moneys wero also taken out. Tho situation was fully realized by Mr. Potter and his associates. They mot it manfully and with all tho resourceful energy ut their com- mand, but tho pressure became too great Tho situation was ono which any bank doing a largo business would be forced to the wall, no mutter how inherlnntly solvent It might be. No bunk having $10,000,000 or moro out on loans could suddonly com ett a largo portion of thira into cash. It is not meant to bo implied that the Muverick Bank was Bound when this pressure wns brought to bear. On thn contrary, tho in- dications nro that It was and Is Insolvent. An ofllclal crisis. If it mny bo bo expressed, was reached Hovoral duys ago whon tho resi- dent of another national bank iu Boston refused to accept a certified check on tho Maverick from ono of its depositors. The motivo ot tho rcfusul Is wild to have been partly a personal and partly a financial one. At nil ovons. tho matter was Imme- diately brought to tho attention of a member of tho Clearing Houso Committee, not In aa ofllalal rupaolty, however, and he felt It to bo his duty to consult tho other mem- bers of that body. They dldnot. It is said, approve of the action of tho President, who refused tho certified chock, but they did think tho situation justi- fied their interference. Tho llrst action of the Committee was taken on Thursday, Oct, 22. From thut tlmo on the Clearing House Committee kept a very closo watch of Mavoilck Bunk affairs. They actually went into the bank on Wednooday for tho purpoce of ascertaining ita exact condition. Tho examination, mado partly by the membors of the committee and purtly by Asslstunt National Bank Examiner Einor. occupiod three days, la the meantime it is said that banks in the Clearing house had advaneed about $500,000 to supply the temporary needs of tho Maverlok Bank, and caro was takon to make the Mavorlok's account at the Clearing House to como out the right Bide of tbo ledger. In fact. It waa a gainer to the amount of $200,000 on Friday and ot $400,000 on Haturdsy. But tho drafts over tho counters ot tho bank wero extremely heavy. Nevertheless It was confidently oxpectod by the bunk officers and tholr friends thut tho irrlsU would bu tided over. Thoy believed thut tho bank's assets would fully meet tho liabilities it not forced upon tho market Mr. Fottor bad called upon several ot his i strongest friends in tho Boston and New York business world, and they had promised to glvo him generous aid. It was not until late Saturday night that Mr. Totter realized that the bank muet go to tho wall. He was then notified by tho members ot the Clearing House Com-rnttto- o that tho condition ot itho bank was such. In tholr opinion, that tho asso- ciate banks of Boston would not be justi- fied In keeping the Institution afloat In tact as ono Frcaldont put it. it it has been a question ot $1,000,000 or of $..000,000 it might have boon done, but when It was seen that it would take $4,000,000 or $5,000,000. and that perhaps that might notdoltltwas felt that the bank must suspend. Mr. Pottor was astounded and appalled by this decision of the committee. Further effort on hl part however, was ueoless. because the facta had been placed before tho Comptrolluo ot the currency by tho Clearing Houso Committee, and ho had already ordered the bank examiner to takeohargo of the institution. Death stepped in and prevented tho Immediate execution ot the order. Bank Examiner Mugrudcr died this nftornoon. his death bolng hastenod. it uot causod, by tho anxieties of the situation. Prominent banking men who ought to know tho facts say thut tho Mavorick Bank has been insolvent for at least a eur. It Is said that tho report mado by Bank Magruder in January last showed that tho bank was hard pressod. At all events, tho Treasury Department has kept close watoh of It Mr. Magrudor began to maka another ex- amination In September, and It is said that his discoveries then so much disturbed him as to bring on the illness which terminated In his death. This afternoon whon ho loarnod that the bank had failod. His anxiety in tho matter may be un- derstood In vlow of the exporienoe ot tho bank Examined of Philadelphia In the matter of the Koystono National Bank. The capital ot tho Maverick Bank is only $400,000. Thero Is no doubt that tho bank hat done tho largest business on tho smalloat capital ot any similar Institution in the country. A year ago It reportod a surplus of $800,000. That of course has now disappeared. Tho stock oftho bank is held In a vory fow hands. Its President, Mr. Pottor, owns nearly 1,400 shares und CoL Jonas IL French holds be- tween 800 and 000 shares. These two mon havo for years held complete control of tho In- stitution. Thero nro about 1,200 individual depositors, and In addition about 300 other banks, mostly county Institutions, kocp acoounts there. For the lost four or llvo years tho deposits have ranged from $10,000,000 to $13,000,000 Tho banks having deposits at Maronott not only a groat many New England In- stitutions, but also many other banks In tho West and South. In fact tho Hsrverlck's connections of this dlBcriptlon probably exceeded In number, those ot all tho other Boston bnnks combined. It may bo said emphatically that no institu- tion will be crippled or woakened by the tying up of its deposit on account of tho suspension-Mr-. Pottor had very little to say about the tho failure. \Yes. it is true that the bank will not open its doors morning.\ he said \but I had no idea that such would bo the case until 1 o'clock last night Thero Is nothing to be eald now oxcopt that no othor institution will be In any way- - imporillod by the suspension ot the Mavorick. That I know, and you cannot put it too strongly.\ Mr. Pottor said that he should make a per- sonal assignment Ho was confident how- ever, that ho was perfectly solvent Itor in tho-da- he decided to make Thomas N. Hart and Henry D. Hydo his assignees. CoL Jonas H. French, a directors and Mr. Potter's associate In the management of tho bank, will also make) on assign- ment ' today. It Is believed also that his affairs will prove- - to be sound. His assignees have not yet boen named. CoL French was soon on Sunday morning, but said ho preferred to say nothing. \Are you willing. Colonel, to state from ab- solute knowlodge that the Maverick Bank is solvent?\ \ No ; lam not\ was the reply. I prefor to say nothing.\ In Illustration ot tho hostile attitude borne toward Mr. Potter and the Maverlok bank in certain financial quarters, tho following report of a talk with ono of Boston's most prominent financiers Is given. The question was put aa to what the man had to say ahout tho rumors concerning the bank His answer was to the effect that ever since Mr. Evan's death a knowledge was current In banking circles that the Mavorick was hard pressed. \I am satisfied.\ ho continued, \from what I deem the best authority that last January's examination ot that institution disclosed the fact that the bank was insolvent Last September's exam- ination showed oven a worse stato ot affairs than was apparent in January. It was told to me that Mr. Magruder. the Bank Ex- aminer, reported to Mr. Lacy. Comptroller of the Currency, the result ot his work, and there necessarily dropped tbo matter. Why Mr. Lacy took no action thereon is past finding out No. tho plan of the Mavorick Na- tional Bank, ot Asa Potter, ot Col. Fronch Is over, and rightly so. No custodian or tfustoo of millions ot dollars belonging to other people ought to enter upon specula- tion. There are certain fixed and Inflexible laws that guide to business success, and It these boundaries aro passod failure is the in- evitable result COXPTROLLElt ZACRT liUMB. ITe Wa Going; to Tell the Hlery of the Mas. pension, but Altered Ills Mind. Edward S. Lacey. Comptroller of tho Cur- rency, arrived at tho Fifth Avenue Hotel yos- torday altornoon. He told friends whom bo mot that ho had just como from Boston. In the evonlng he sourriod through tho main cor- ridor and was stopped by a Sun reporter. \ Ploaso tell me what ou can about tho sus- pension of tho Ma crick Bank, Mr. Lacey.\ said tho reporter. \How do you know I am Mr. Lacoy r\ replied tho Co'aptrollor. The reiKtrtor had seon Mr. Lacey a hundred times in Wall street and had talked with him often, \But I am not registered ut this hotel.\ said Mr. Lacey after It had been made clear to lit in that hn wus Mr. Lacey. \How did you know I was hero ?\ \Simply because I met you.\ replied the re- porter. \Well wWl; come to me In an hour,\ said Mr. Lacey, \and I'll toll you the story,\ \ Whore shall I come V\ \ Oh, ril be urouud hero somowhore,\ re- plied Mr. Lacoy.
