Associatea Press.
Albany, Or., June 19. The I.mn
County bank closed Its doom this morn
ing. A notice on the doors says owing
to the stringency In the money market
tho hank Busnpnds payment by order of
the board of directors. Tha depositors
.ni k oM ri.iinr for dollar, with a
Will LfU
large surplus. J. L. Cowan, president
of the bank, says the deposits amount
to about $150,000, and that the; assets
will exceed the liabilities by ?8O,O0O to
$100,000. J. A. Crawford, the wealthiest
citizen of Albany, and one. of the di
rectors, says he will personally gunr:
antee every depositor. Among the de
posits Is $33,000 of the county money.
No official statement has been made.
The branch of the Linn county bank
at Lebanon, also closed lt3 doors this
morning.
At noon the Bank of Oregon, of this
city, also closed its doors. Cashier Jay
W. Blain says the assets ore fifty per
cent more than the liabilities.- The
amount of deposits Is small. The fall-
.uree were caused by the steady with
drawal of deposits for several weeks.
No official statement will be made
until the bank examiner-arrives, but
Cashier Archibald of the Linn county
bank says the liabilities ore about $200,-
000 and tha assets $318,000, and that d
Dositors will be paid in. full. The im
mediate cause of suspension was the
dishonoring of a draft for $16,000 pre
sented by the county treasurer In pay
ment of state taxes. The state treas
urer -accepted tha draft and gave hi
receipt therefor, but the draft, on be
lne presented at the Salem Bank, was
not honored. The directors then' held
a. meeting and disagreed as to whether
or not they should supply the money to
tide the bank over the present neces
sltv. The majority finally decided to
suspend. The confidence; of the public
is shown in tho fact that the merchants
offer to take the paper of both the
closed banks at par. Only a slight run
was precipitated upon the other banks,
which were kept open until six o clock
They are well fortified, and will be
able to meet all demands upon them
The assets of the Bank of Oregon
are $03,000 and the liabilities $45,000
Depositors will bo paid aa soon as the
bank can realize upon its securities
The bank at Lebanon, owned by Co
wan, Ralston & Company, which closed
at 10:30. has 27.000 deposits. The as
sots are considerably inexcess of he
liabilities... . , . , , ,.

VISITER BY FIRE.
The Business Portion of Tillamook De
stroyed Yesterday Morning.
Tillamook. Or.. June 19. The. busi
ness portion oi" the town was destroyed
by fire early this morning. It started
at 1 a, m. and ia euppoueil let Ixi tfiel
work of lcendlarles, as several fire were
started slmilunteously. There is great
excitement and talk of lynching th
guilty parties. Muny persons are des
titute,, and one man was seriously in
jured by a falling wall. The total loss
will be $100,000.
The best portion of the town was
burned. A dead calm prevailing was
all that saved the few remaining buld
lngs, though many of them are badly
damaged. Excitement runs high, and
It Is hard work to keep the citizens
from hanging- the parties suspected of
retting the fire. At one o'clock Sunday
night several shots were fired by un
known parties. In an Instant it was
found that the large double store of
William Olsen was on fire. All efforts
to put It . out were Ineffectual. The
house next door, owned by William
Stelnmetz. was burned to the ground
The wharf was partially burned, and
saved by the steamer Garfield getting
ud steam and playing on the fire.
The fire had died out, and the people
were trolnir to their homes when ther
was a cry of fire In another part -or
town. In an instant flames shot up
from the rear of Hadley's saloon, and
shortly the whole building was In
flames. The Allen house went next
then a barber shop, George Nolan's of
fice, the Peckham shoe store, the bank
the Larsen house, W. C. King's house
and one on the other side of the Occl
denth'l holtel. Brown's butcher shop
and residence, and the Cohn & Stlllwell
block, occupied by Cohn & Company
store, were soon burning like tinder, I
looked as if the whole town was
doomed. ' A faucetln an oil barrel In
Hadley's had been turned open and fire
fl.nniied to the flowing oil.. Pitch had
been, spread in places. The few stores
left are badly damaged.
NO FEES ALLOWED.
Decision in Portland Which Will Be of
Interest in Shipping Circles.
Portland. Or. June 19.-An. interesting
decision affecting the right of sailor
boarding house keepers and other self
constituted agents to charge fees for
supplying- ships with sailors was made
today by Judge Hurley In the state clr
cult courts In thee -as of Patrick
T.vneh acainst L. Sullivan, James
James Turke et al. Judge Hurley bus
tained tho demurrer to the complaint
on the eround that the contract and
matters alleged in the complaint are
in violation of the United States st.it
Lutes relating to fees for services In
shipping seamen.In this case Lynch
claims $500 damages against the
fendants for intimidating and forcing
ten seamen to desert while on thll way
to Astoria, who had been shipped by
Lvnch for the ship Grandee at an
agreed price of $50 each, which the
Captain of thq vesssel had agreed to
to nay Lynch. The circuit court holds
that tha United States statutes pro
hibit all such contracts for the pay
ment of fees for the shipment of sea
men, except to such persons as are
authorized by act of Congress, and
that Lynch ia not one of such persons.

Washington, June 19. It was de
cided by Coroiier Paterson that Colonel
F. C. Atnsworth should not be sum
moned to appear, as a witness before
the corontr'3 jury Investigating the
cause of the Ford's theatre disaster. As
Colonel Alnsworth was not willing to
appear ns an ordinary citizen, he
thought nothing could be gained by
nnitinir'htm in !vn olllclal capacity. The
testimony this morning was principally
In reference to the character of the
matter used by Contractor Dant In
doing the work of building up the old
theatre building. Witnesses testified to
selling Dant the best materials, but
when shown samples taken from the
debris they said they were of a poor
.-.nnlitv nnd not the same as sold. Af
ter being out two hours the jury re
tiimwl a venllrt setting forth thut
Frederick B. Loftus came to hels death
by disaster at Ford's theatre, building
on June 9, 1893. 1 It recites all tho clr
cumstances connected with the n,ed
dent, and finds that Frederick C. Alns
worth. In charge of the building; Wm,
G. Court, superintendent; Francis Basse
engineer, and Geo. W. Dant, contractor
responsible for the killing of Loftus.
The jurors further find that, the failure
of the government of the United States
to provide skilled superintendents for
the work of repair and alterations to
its buildings in charge of the war de
partment wns most unbuslness-llke and
reprehensible, and are of the opinion
that If such superintendents had been
provided tho awful tragedy might have
been averted.
Coroner Patterson decided not to Is
sue warrants for the commitment Col
Atnsworth, Dant, Court and Basse until
tomorrow mwn'.ng, in order to give
them an opportunity to obtain ball
Col. AInswoith has already secured
bondsmen : Contractor Dant Is very ill
at his residence.

pared. A religious society, which

ing a terrible accident, In which an
Inebriate, In blowing out a candle, was
killed by the flames Igniting the alco
holic fumes of his breath. James
pricked Up his ears at this and re
