Sudden Death of a. Bank Cashier and 11m
CIOSing of the Bank Causes ‘Agilzuinh.
Philadelphia, March 26.—Tll€- 34.41;;
leach of Cashier Hopkins of ti: _. .
ple's Bank, the official stateme... 121* .
:he bank would remain closed 1.:r..._ii‘.s:
an examination of its affairs an.
issignment made by the Guarantor;
Finance Company has again caused
considerable agitation in financial 032%»
:les, which had about recovered from
the effects of the sensational failure
if the Chestnut Street Bank and Trust
Companies.
The Coroner’s investigation yesteru
lay afternoon developed the fact hith-~
arto concealed by the family that Hop»-
kins had committed suicide by shoot-
Ing himself, and an investigation of the:
affairs of the People’s Bank by its of—
ficers resulted in the revelation that
Hopkins had in the last two years
loaned the bank’s funds in large
unounts to Richard F. Loper, general
manager of the Guarantors' Finance
Company. These loans, which remain
unpaid and aggregate, it is said, more
than $600,000, were made wholly with—
out the knowledge of the officers and
directors of the bank. The securities
given by Loper as collateral for the
loans were found, according to the as-
iertion of one of the bank’s officials, to
have little or no value. ,
The State Insurance Commissioner on
Wednesday asked the. court to appoint
a. receiver for the Guarantors’ compa—
ny, which did an insurance business,
and, it is believed that Hopkins. on
learning that the company could not
make good its indebtedness to the bank,
and knowing that exposure would fol-
low an investigation of Guarantors‘ af—
fairs, decided to end his troubles by
taking his life.
President James McManes, of the
People’s Bank, said yesterday that he
had the utmost confidence in Hopkins
and that his deception in the extensive
transactions with Loper was an un-
pleasant surprise. =‘
It is the general belief in financial
circles that the bank will pay dollar
for dollar to its creditors. President
McManes is reputed to be worth at
.east $10,000,000, and he is credited with
the assertion that he would see that no
creditor of the bank lost a cent.
State's Money Involved.
Harrisburg, March 26.—The State had
)1] deposit in the People's Bank of Phil-
adelphia. $505,000. This is the second
time within a. few months that the
State “funds have been tied up by the
failure of a bank, the first being in the
case of the Chestnut Street National
Bank of Philadelphia, where $215,000
was on deposit. The State, however,
will not lose a cent, as both it and the
State Treasurer are protected amply
by bonds.
Reeder and Bank Commissioner Gilke-
son were summoned to Philadelphia
yesterday for the purpose of protecting
ihe State’s interest.
CHINESE QUITTING PORT ARTHUR.

_ Easton, Pa., March 26.—Three hun-
dred and fifty Lafayette students made
an anti-Spanish demonstration in East-

and the college band. They marched
to the telegraph office and offered Pres-
ident McKinley their services in case
of war., In Centre Square they- burned
red fire, made speechs, and on the point
of a sword burned a flag supposed to
represent the standard of Spain. The
Stars and Stripes were nailed to the
top limb of the tallest tree in the
square. The crowd serenaded the
Mayor and other municipal officers and
returned to the Hill, follmvcd by a great
throng of townfolk.

It seems that Daniel Webster went
fishing when he wanted to compose the
finest passages in an oration. One of
his ‘biographers was with him on a.
fishing excursion to Mashpee Brook,
on Cape Cod. Webster, at times, was
so deeply absorbed with his own
thoughts that he 'held his hook out of
water. Suddenly wheeling, he extend-
ed one hand to the oVerhanglng trees
and uttered the memorable sentences
in the Bunker Hill oration, addressed
to the survivors of the revolution, and
beginning: “Venerable man, you
have come down to us from a former
generation." 0n the-strength of this
precedent, fishing for eloquence is to
be recommended.—St. Louis Globe-
Democrat.
