TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. The thirty-second annual convention of the American Institute of Architects is in session at Washington. The Commercial Hotel, City livery stable and a saloon at Oklahoma City, O. T., burned early yesterday. The guests had time to escape from the hotel. Frank B. Leefe, convicted with J. B. Wolfson of wrecking the Union National Bank of New Orleans, died in the parish prison in that city yesterday. The agent of W. O. B. MacDonough, owner of Ormonde, states that the Duke of Westminster's offer of $50,000 for that famous race horse has been declined. The affairs of the First National Bank of Lisbon, O., look more promising. It is now definitely determined that the snortage of Childs, the missing cashier, will not exceed $40,000. Depositors will be paid in full. R. T. Howell, an insurance agent of Bridgeport, O., was arrested at Wheeling yesterday at the instance of the West Virginia state auditor for issuing fire insurance policies of companies not authorized to do business in that State. Detective McVey, of Delaware, who is in California representing his State in the Botkin poisoning case, has engaged attorneys to look after the legal side of the case and an endeavor will be made to have the case carried to the Federal Court for settlement. The discovery has been made at Port Townsend, Wash., that some miscreant has defaced the two fifty-four-ton guns that are waiting to be placed in position at Marrowstone point by cutting names on the stem barrels with soap and acid. Suspicion rests on discharged workmen. Lambert Wilt, the absconding controller of the Bunglau Savings Bank, Bohemia, with his wife and aunt, were taken to Chicago yesterday from St. Louis, where they were arrested Monday night. They will be held in Chicago as prisoners to await instructions from Bohemia. In the United States Circuit Court at Springfield, III., yesterday, George Caruthers, William A. Sims and William T. Cox. of Waverly, filed a petition to have the bank of Waverly, at Waverly, III., adjudged bankrupt. The defendant made a general assignment Aug. 11. The liabilities are $300,000, with assets unknown. While hunting with four companions, near Irwin, Pa., Joe Boleti, an Italian coal miner, accidently discharged his weapon and some of the shot entered the body of John Macholi, another of the party. The accident frightened Boleti and he started to run, when without a word, Macholi raised his gun and shot him through the heart. The murderer is at large. Judge Thayer, of the United States Court of Appeals at St. Paul, yesterday reversed the decision in favor of the defendants, rendered by the lower court, in the case of the government against the Pine River Logging and Improvement Company, involving $487,000 worth of lumber alleged to have been wrongfully cut and removed from Indian reservations. John Hubbard and William Lamont, who are serving time in the Michigan State House of Correction, confided to three fellow-prisoners that a year ago last September they murdered and robbed Ludwig Herman, a veteran soldier, They will be held and tried for the crime, which has hitherto been a mystery, When visited by officers Hubbard and Lamont dented having made such a confession.

How Not to Run a Bank The cashier of the First National of Lisbon, O., is a defaulter to a large amount. The bank is closed, and a prominent merchant who was on the cashier's bond has assigned. If the bank directors had insisted on independent audits or examinations, the cashier would not have been a defaulter, or if they had merely insisted on the cashier giving a bond with a reliable surety company the merchant would not be insolvent. Here are two shining illustrations of how not to run a bank, which are worthy of further reflection.-New York Financier.
