5" Straps and Jarts. ? A piece of granite weighing a ton felt from the third story of the capitol building at Atlanta as it was being hoisted on Monday of last week. Superintendent Larkin was under the stope and it fell on him, crushing his body into a pulp and killing him instantly. ? The president of the National Cotton Planters' Association has addressed a circular letter to the Governors of the cotton States asking their co-operation in efforts to secure the return of sixty odd millions of dollars, collected illegally directly after the war and known as the "Cotton tax." I? Two squirrel hunters wantonly fired into the packing house of the Ditmar powder works at Bartow, New York, on Thursday, causing a tremendous explosion. Four workmen were blown into fragments. The shock of the explosion was felt at towns many miles away causing much alarm from the impressions that it was an earthquake. ? The Wilson and Fayetteville branch of the Wilmington and Weldon railroad, seventy-four miles in length, is completed and was opened through to- Fayetteville for freight and passenger traffic last Friday. This is what is known as the short cut, which, when completed through to Florence, 8. *C., will shorten the time by the Atlantic Coast line several hoursf ? The number of business failures for the quarter ending September 30, as reported to ?to R. G. Dun & Co., is 1,932, as compared with 2,173 for the third quarter of 1885. The liabilities, however, show a considerable increase, amounting, in the quarter just nlmuul 49 7SO WW oa nmtinRf: 312.387.400 in the corresponding quarter of '85. For the nine months concluding with the 29th, the failures numbered 7,088, as compared with 8,162 for the first nine months of last year. ? At Romney, W. Va., last week, John H. C. Bowen was convicted of murder in the first degree, and sentenced to imprisonment for life, for killing Frank Heat wale on April 29 last. Heatwale was killed by mistake, Bowen having intended to take the life of. one Harvey Barr, of whose attention to a married woman in the neighborhood he was jealous. Barr, who was empoyed as watchman in a mill, induced Heatwale to wait for him that night, and the latter lost'his life in doing a favor for his friend. ? B. G. Cole, the white man sentenced to be hanged at Carthage, Moore county, N. C., has been taken to the penitentiary. Cole killed his wife some eighteen months ago in the roost systematic manner. Each day he put a small quantity of poison in her food. He narfowly escaped lynching by enraged people. He was convicted and appealed, and finally his mind failed. He is partially idiotic. He is seventy years of age. Bfis sentence was commuted to imprisonment for life because of his partial insanity. ? A dispatch from Steelvilie, Mo., says that at 11 o'clock last Thursday night a body of men went down to the jail where Wallace. the alleged murderer of the Logan family, was confined, broke down the doors in spite of the resistance of the sheriff, took the man out and hanged him to a tree. After a few minutes tney let him down, thinking ne wouia coniess, out no cuuuuueu ' to protest his innocence, and leading citizens finally persuaded the lynchers to surrender the victim to the sheriff and let the law take its "course. ? The indications are that the State election to be held to-day will be one of the quietest ever held in Georgia. No opposition has been developed to the Democratic * State ticket, and there seems to be none to the constitutional amendments, the one striking out the provision requiring all local bills to originate in the House of Representatives, and the other enlarging the power of the General Assembly with regard to providing for disabled Ex-Confederate soldiers. A small vote is expected, though local contests for members of the General Assembly will probably swell the total vote | of the State, and make the election in many counties something more than a formality. ? Four tons of giant powder were exploded in a well sunk thirty-five feet deep into the solid granite of Stone Mountain, Ga., at 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon. After the powder was stored away in the chambers at the bottom of the well, the well was filled up to the surfarce and ignited by means of electricity. A person at the foot of the mountain would probably have heard the explosion, but as a sensation the blast was a failure. Whether it was a success in breaking up the stone it will take several days to determine. Slight cracks were discovered here and tlfere. Quite a number of persdns went from Atlanta to witness the blast. Future blasts will be made at a depth of from one to two hundred feet, in which from thirty to fifty tons will be employed. ? An earthquake at Arica, i 1 Peru, is thus described by Gen. Pleasorton: "The people of that afflicted countp have been shaken up so often that they have no difficulty in recognizing ?.u earthquake by sight. But the last ore was recognized long before it could be seen. It came more slowly than any of its predecessors?so slowly that all the people had time to run out of their little one-story adobe houseslnto the plaza, where they fell prone on their faces. When the earthquake got there it carried the ground up just like a wave. The people lying in the plaza felt just as you do when a big wave rolls under you on the beach. Those who lay in the trough of the wave, so to speak, were all right; but those who went up on the crest of the wave fell into it where it broke and were buried alive under it. It was all over in a minute." ? On the morning of September 30th, the Supreme Court of Virginia, sitting at Staunton, handed down the papers in the case of T. J. Cluverius, who stands convicted of the murder of Lilian Madison at the old reservoir, in Richmond, with the indorsement that the petition for a rehearing is denied. This remands the case to the Hustings court of Richmond, by which the time will be fixed for the death penalty by hanging unless executive clemency interposes. It is not considered at all probable that the executive will interfere with the sentence of the court. As soon as the record in the case is certified by the Court of Appeals down to the Hustings court, the latter tribunal will re-sentence the doomed man. * The date of the hanging will probably be fixed at sixty days from the time of the prisoner's arraignment. ? Advices from the southwestern coast of Texas, particularly in the region south of the Rio Grande and from some interior points, give accounts of a great rain storm and much destruction of property. From September 21 to 23 a tremendous rain storm and hurricane swept over the vicinity of Brownsville, Texas, including Matamoras. Twenty-six inches of rain fell up to the night of the 23rd and the wind is said to nave reacnea a veiocuy 01 neariy uut> Hundred miles per hour. Over two hundred houses in Brownsville were blown down and a large number damaged, rendering homeless some three hundred families. In Matamoras over three hundred houses were leveled and many injured. The entire rear part of the city, embracing over thirty blocks, was flooaed to a depth of from three to eight feet, and the people living there were rescued only with the greatest difficulty. All telegraph lines were blown down, and the Rio Grande and Matamoras and Monterey railroads were washed out, and traffic has not yet been restored. ? On the night of September 23rd the store of A. D. Owens, at Creswell, Martin county, N. C., was entered by burglars. Owens' dwelling adjoined the store. He heard a noise and as he stepped to the door saw two burglars one of whom raised a gun and fired. Forty buckshot entered the stomach of Owens who in a few moments was a corpse. Since that time the authoriI ties have Deen on the track of the murderI era. Monday night Sheriff Sprewell arL rived at Plymouth with the wife of the murdered man and two negroes. Another .^1 negro. James Davenport, alias Ambrose, was snot and killed. One of the negroes made a confession some days ago as follows: That Mrs. Owens had hired them to kill her husband. She wished them to drown him, and prepared water in a barrel for that purpose. She gave him some medicine to put him in a sound sleep, and these negroes actually stood by his bedside ready to commit the crime, but their courage failed them. Finally Ambrose some nights afterward entered the store and when Owens appeared shot him. Ambrose was pursued and, on making a desperate attempt to kill f - ; the members of the Sheriffs possee, was 1 shot through the heart. Mrs. Owens and two negroes are now. in jail at Plymouth awaiting trial. / ?bc UtrrJuiiUc (jruquircr. YORKVILLE, S. C. : WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1886. CHARLESTON, CINCINNATI AND CHICAGO^ The first annual meeting of the stockholders of the Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago Railroad Company was held in Charleston on Thursday last. From the News and Courier of Friday we take the following account of the proceedings of the meeting: One of the most important railroad meetings held in Charleston for many years past took place at the Charleston Hotel yesterday. It was attended by Col. Frank Coxe, of Asheville, N. C.; Dr. W. L. Mauldin, of Greenville, the Democratic nominee for Lieutenant Governor; Mr. C. E. Spencer, of Yorkville; Col. R. A. Johnson, general manager of the Massachusetts and Southern Construction Company, of Boston, Mass.; Mr. Henry R. Baker, of Springfield, Mass., and Col. James D. Elanding, of Sumter, S. C. It was a meeting of the stockholders of the consoldated Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago Railroad Company. This railway enterprise is one of the most extensive, and so far as the commercial interests of Charleston are concerned, one of the most important that has been projected since the war. The consolidated lines represented in the company bring Charleston one hundred and fifty-eight miles nearer the Ohio River than by any other route. It is. therefore, of the greatest importance that the road should be .built and, from the representations that have been made, there can be little doubt that it will be completed from Sumter, S. C., to Ashland, Ky., on the Ohio River, within the next two years. The plan of the company is to have one system of railroads under one management, running from the Atlantic Ocean to the Ohio River, and from that point to make the most direct connection with the entire West and Northwest. The distance from Sumter the most southerly point to which the railroad will at first be built, to a point where the line runs North to Johnson City, Tennessee, is a distance of four hundred and forty-five milles. In this distance the road intersects eight other lines of railway and traverses. one of the most fertile and rich farming sections in the United States. A fine location has been secured across the Blue Ridge Mountains and with a light grade. This crossing over the mountains is believed to be less difficult than any that has previously been discovered. At the meeting of the stockholders yesterday Col. Frank Coxe, of Asheville, N. C., was elected president and Mr. Henry K. Baker, of Springfield, Mass., secretary and treasurer. Frank Coxe, Asheville, N. C., Richard Dozier, Georgetown, S. C., Theodore G. Barker, Charleston, S. C.*, James D. Blanding, Sumter, S. C., Henry K. Baker, Springfield, Mass., John T. Wilder, Chattanooga, T*nn FT. D. Lee. Shelbv. N. C., P. P. Dick inson, New York city"/Peter J. Sinclair, Marion, N. C., Wm. K. Baker, Springfield, Mass., Damon N. Coates, New York city, Edward S. Brewer, Hartford, Conn., and Wm. P. Callender, Springfield, Mass., were elected directors. The contract for the consolidation of the roads embraced in the project was adopted and ratified by the stockholders, and it was resolved that for the purpose of raising money to be used in the construction of its railroad under its charters, and for the purchase of freight and passenger cars, locomotive engines, steel rails, the laying of side-tracks, the building of double track where necessary, the furnishing of terminal facilities and the erection of necessary machine shops, round-houses, depots, and for other purposes in connection with the successful operation and maintenance of the railroad, and for such purposes as may be authorized by the directors, this company do issue its first mortgage bonds to the extent of $20,000 per mile, to bear date October 1, A. D. 1886, and to be payable in United States gold coin on the 1st day of October, A. D. 1916, and said bonds shall bear interest at the rate 6 per centum per annum, payable quarterly in like gold coin on the first days of January, April, July and October. 2. That the amount of bonds outstanding at any one time, issued under the authority of this vote, shall not exceed twenty thousand ($20,000) dollars per mile of railroad constructed. 3. That for the purpose of securing the payment of said first mortgage bonds and interest, Frank Coxc, the president of this company, as agent, be, and he hereby is, authorized, ?for and in the name of this company, to execute and deliver a deed of trust, or mortgage, containing a power of sale, to the Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company, of Boston, in the Commonwealth " - - " - ?. l 1 oi iuassacnuseus, 01 uie rauruuu ui imstumpany and its franchises, extending from its southern terminus in the city of Charleston, S. C., to its most northern terminus upon the State line of Tennessee, as the same now is or may hereafter be located and constructed, with all the extensions and branches built and to be built, owned .and to be acquired, together with all the franchises, privileges and appurtenances appertaining thereto, and the said agent is further authorized to attach the corporate seal of this company to said deed, and to acknowledge the same as the free act and deed of this company. 4. That the above bonds shall be for one thousand dollars each. Another resolution was adopted providing that the Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company act as the trustees of the stock, trust mortgage and bonds to be issued, and a contract was made with the Massachusetts and Southern Construction Company for the beginning of work upon this grand enterprise, which promises so much for the country through which it passes, and for Charleston, its southern terminus. Charters covering the entire line to the Ohio River have been secured, and the surveying corps, under the direction of that experienced engineer, Thomas E. Matson, is now engaged in locating the line through Virginia and Tennessee. The local business on that section between the mountains of North Carolina and the Ohio River will unquestionably tax a single track road seriously. Railroad experts and men of business who have become familiar with it, unanimously declare that a single track cannot do the business which will flow to it. The section of country around Ashland, opposite to which is fronton, on the Ohio River, is known as the "Hanging Rock Region," and in this section are already built over sixty complete iron works, most | of which are now idle from the want of | suitable ores for the profitable manufacture of steel. In conversation with a reporter for the News ami Courier yesterday, Col. R. A. Johnson, the general manager of the Construction Company, said: "This line is what + rvoniila r>f I''harlocf-nn hnvfl hppn SPPkinir ! pvwpiv, VI VIIH*.VW?V.. o for years and years. We are surely going j to the mountains. We have a line surveyed over the Blue Ridge; we have a corps of surveyors now in' Virginia surveying the line through to the Kentucky line. We have our arrangements all completed, and a part of the road built from Black's j Station, on the Air-Line Railway. We have graded forty-five miles, and are laying 60* pound steel rails at the rate of a I mile a day. We want to connect the mouni tain country with Charleston at the earliest i possible moment, and I can assure you that j we are going to build this road as rapidly as possible. We shall have a line from the iron ore country across the Blue Ridge Mountains within the course of two years, and a line'to Sumter, and from there to conj nect with Charleston within the next twelve or fifteen months. Our road passes over a coal bed in Kentucky, which is eleven feet thick and of the very purest quality mined in any part of the world, and Charleston, had she through connection with these fields, would, I firmly believe, be the greatest coal depot in the world." THE NEEDS UP CHARLESTON. I [From the New York World, of September 30.] Capt. F. W. Dawson, the editor of the Charleston News and Courier, arrived in the I city last evening, and is stopping at the I New York Hotel. "I am in a position to state from personal kuowledge," he said, "and I think it is time it was stated to the generous public, which has come forward so promptly to Charleston's aid that the money so far received and now in sight?that is to say which has been subscribed?amounting, if it is all paid in, to $450,000 or $500,000, will suffice to render habitable the houses of those of our citizens who are absolutely without means to help themselves. I refer to laboring people, poor widows and the like who owned little homes with mortgages upon them, and who would be utterly without resources to repair damages were it not for timely assistance. "Then you mean that no more help is 1-.1 oil neeueu r.-~ "No. Far from that. The double blow which Charleston has received, first from the cyclone and then from the earthquake, is one that she cannot recover from unless she receives other organized aid from outside. If it can be arranged so that she can borrow money at a fair rate of interest, say four per cent.?borrow, not in a wildcat way, mind you, but on perfectly good, substantial security, which she can furnishthen we will be able to rebuild and in a few years be on ourfeetagain. One thing more is needed to put Charleston where it was? before the disaster. That is for the Government to aid us by promptly pushing forward the work of building jetties at our harbor's mouth and thus giving us twentyfive feet of water in the channel. This work, yotl understand, has already been ordered, and all that we ask is that it be hastened forward as fast as possible. It is not that it will bring much money to Charleston?for it will not?but it will give us facilities for business which must greatly benefit the city. "You may say," added Capt. Dawson, "that the contributions which have been sent to Charleston have been received and distributed in the same spirit in which] they were given." "Has there been inucn indignation in South Carolina over the President's failure to express any sympathy?" "I do not like to talk about that," replied the Southern editor with feeling. "I have been very close to the President, and have had high admiration and love for him. It certainly seemed, considering the fearful calamity which had befallen a city, that the proper thing forthe President of the United States to do was togo at once to Washington and say to the suffering people: 'I am here at the post of duty. What can I do for you ?' We expected it, particularly from a Democratic President. His failure to say a word caused not so much anger as disappointment and pain. We don't know what to make of it. But it was not merely the President who surprised us. There is Senator Wade Hampton. He has been the idol of Charleston. And Senator Butler, also of South Carolina. We have not hearcl a word from either. Butler is in Europe, but there is the cable. It would not have cost so very much, either of money or labor, for him to send us a few words. No; we don't know what to make of it all. You remember how Charleston came forward at the time of Cleveland's marriage and sent a beautiful present to the bride. We have always stood staunchly by him. "A pleasant contrast was the energetic action of-Adjt. Gen. Drum, the acting secretary of war. The engineers he sent down were of incalculable benefit, not only in determining what buildings were unsafe, but which ones, though they looked unsafe, were not so. I tell you it was splendid work those gentlemen did, and it did seem as il they would woric-themselves to death, sc zealously wemtfiey prosecuting their task." \ CorreMfaidence of the Yorkville Enquirer. X/LETTER FROM ROCK HILL. Rock Hill, October 4.?The stock show was held at this place on Thursday last. A large number of entries were made, and all in all, the exhibition was a success and a credit to Eastern York. It showed conclusively that our people are wide awake and taking each year greater Interest in improved stock and agricultural implements. Only thoroughbred and graded stock was exhibited. The following is a list of those who received first premiums: John G. Steele, best thoroughbred stallion ; best thoroughbred mare and colt; besl grade Holstein bull; best brace Setter dogs. W. C. Hutchison, best grade 2 and 3 yeai old horse colts. D. Hutchison, best 1 year old grade filly, James L. Williamson, best 1 year old grade colt. John T. Roddey, best horse. Rev. J. S. White, best thoroughbred Jersey cow and calf. D. P. Steele, best thoroughbred Jersey bull; best thoroughbred heiler; best grade Jersey cew and calf under o years old; besl mule colt. Maj. A. H. White, best grade Jersey cow and calf; best grade Jersey heifer; best pen South Down sheep; best Berkshire boar. Maj. White also exhibited white, red and black oats, barley, rye and wheat; also, his improved corn. M. W. Russell, best grade Durham heifer, R. H. Hope, Jr., best thoroughbred Ayrshire bull; best mule colt over 6 months. James F.Reid, best grade Ayrshire cow. William Whyte, best grade Holstein heifer 2 years old.. J. Edgar Poag, best jack. W. S. Schrock, Camden, best trio silver spangled Hamburg chickens. T. P. Roddey, Plymouth rocks. George D. White, game chickens. Mrs. John G.

Miss Jeannie Davis, a little six year old daughter of Capt. L. M. Davis, exhibited a plate of biscuit made by herself; also a beautiful lace handkerchief made with her own little fingers. Jerry White, colored, exhibited a water melon of unusual size. The exhibition was a decided success, and it is hoped that next year the attendance will be larger and that there will be a much larger number of entries. On last Weduesday Mr. Henry Rattaree had a difficulty with a colored man named Joe Withers, who lives three miles east ol town. Mr. ltattaree shot Withers with a pistol, the ball entering the thigh. The wound is not considered dangerous. Mr. J. W. Steele, who lives near Walnut Spring, five miles from this place, was kicked by a mule on Friday evening and painfully hurt on the face and shoulder. He was attended by Dr. Crawford, who dressed the wounds. Mr. Steele says the mule has always been gentle and kind. He had forgotten Josh Billings' remark that "a mule will be a good mule for twelve months to get a chance to kick some one." Mr. John Rattaree has twelve acres of cotton on his farm, two miles from this place, that will yield a bale to the acre. On the same twelve acres in 1882, Mr. Rattaree made eighteen bales. Cotton is coming into our market slowly. The crop is not as promising as it was some weeks ago. The high winds and cold weather for the past three or four days have damaged the crop. Rev. W. B. Jennings, pastor of the Presbyterian church at this place, has been holding a series of prayer meetings during the past week in his church. On yesterday communion services were conducted. Mrs. Von Wittkie, wife of Mr. A. Von Wittkie, died at this place on Saturday. Some of the buildings on Main street have been very much improved during the past week by the paint brush. rot /I A ine C/., l^. Ou -fA.. rtaiiiuiiu wujjjnuj* uic building a new iron bridge across Catawba river. Our people, as a general thing, are pleased with the nominations made at the primary election. A brilliant marriage is to take place in the Episcopal church in this place on Wednesday night. The contracting parties are well known and popular young people ol our town. Hal. Suicide in Charleston.?A Charleston dispatch of Friday says: The dead body of Alexander W. McLoy was found this afternoon in the marsh on Cooper river, three miles from the city. Yesterday mornfng Mr. McLoy left home and went to the gunpowder magazine, near which his body was found. When he reached there he took off his coat and vest and cut his throat with a knife. After doing this he walked a distance of thirty feet and tumbled into the marsh, where he was found this afternoon, attention being attracted to the spot by a flock of buzzards hovering near. Mr. McLoy was a member of the late firm of McLoy, Rice & Co., which was compelled to cease business on account of the death of Mr. Rice, the New York member of the firm. He had lost all he owned and had been in despair since his business closed. It is supposed that mental abberation, brought on by despondency, caused his suicide. Mr. McLoy was about GO years old and one of the most highly respected men of the community. He left a wife and three children. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. LETTER FROM FORT MILL. Fort Mill, S. C., October 4.?The long drouth has cut off cotton still more. Grass is dying in the pastures. Even large fissures are appearing on the face of the earth. Some of our good people attribute these fissures to the long succession of earth3uakes; but they always appear in stiff lands uring a prolonged drought. By-the-way, one of the colored men, who went on that excursion to Charleston, says that he failed to find the gaps in the earth and the sulphurous vapors so much written about in the papers. Our citizens are gathering the fleecy staple as fast as they can ; but the scarcity and low price of the article have a very depressing effect on the farmers. Short crops for three or four years in succession have not enriched the community to' an alarming extent; nor have they tended to increase the love of our people for cotton. Perhaps it is a blessing in disguise, inasmuch as our people might be drawn from their devotion tn rnttnn and nersuaded. or forced, to diver sify crops. It cannot be expected that this old country is able to compete with the vast, new territory, opened and opening in the West, in the production of cotton; therefore^?-must turn to something else. ^"Ueath has been among us since our last " letter. On Monday evening of last week, Mrs. Elizabeth Culp, mother of T. G. Culp, Esq., passed to eternal rest, without any warning, in the eighty-first year of her age. Being ripe unto the harvest, the great Master quietly gathered her into tne garner. On the next afternoon Miss Azile, daughter of Mr. Simon M. Mills, died of congestion of the brain, after ten days' or two weeks' illness. In the roseate dawn of young womanhood she was called from the scenes of earth into eternity. Many friends mourn \ her departure, but trust that their loss is her eternal gain. Oh last Saturday the bright little son of >Jt. John S. Kimbrell died, after an illness lasting a few days. Thus almost at one | stroke we see old age, youthful vigor and , helpless infancy swept from among us. | Who shall be called next ? | A protracted meeting was begun at the Baptist Church last night under conduct of its pastor, Rev. Mr. Faulkner. His health has improved, but he does not yet seem to , be stout as before his illness. We hope he will have strength to perform his duties. ; Anon.

The Chester Baptist Association met at ; Beaver Dam Church on the western side of this county on last Thursday. The attendance was good, and the meeting was quite i interesting. Rev. R. H. Griffith, of Greenville, was present as a representative of Furman University, i Rev. Mr. McAlpine, and Bev. Mr. McMullen conducted a very interesting and , successful meeting last week at Bullock's . Creek Presbyterian Church. There were fifty-six accesions to the church. Of these there were many who were advanced in i life. A considerable religious revival has also recently taken place in the Armenia neigh borhood. Rev. Mr. Tray wick, a Methodist minister, was instrumental in prevailing upon a large number of the unconverted to repent of their sins, and unite with the i church. The commissioners of election for this county are Messrs. A. G. Brice, T. W. Ber ry, Alexander Wise, W. G. Austin and S. G. Lewis. All stockholders in the A. M. & H. As , sociation of Chester, York, .Lancaster ana Fairfield will be entitled to tickets of admission to the next fair on presentation of certificates of stock. The Fair will begin on the 27th of this month. Cotton has made some advance in our market the last few days. May it continue , the upward direction until it reaches such a price as to make everybody happy. A very sad atfair occurred in Baton Rouge : township Saturday night. Dave Henry, col- ' ored, and his wife, Martha, left home to attend a prayer meeting, leaving their house and two children in the care of Caroline ! Berry, colored. On their return about 12 o'clock they found the house in flames, i They made an effort to enter, but this was an impossibility. Caroline and the two children were consumed. Her bad habit of smoking in bed is supposed to have led to the unfortunate occurrence, i Mrs. Jane Hemphill, a very estimable lady of our town, died this morning. Her i health has been very feeble for some time, i The corps of surveyors will begin the survey of the line from this point to Monroe, N. C., on next Friday. President Mills is now getting in readiness camp equip: ments and the necessary preliminaries. He has no doubt of the construction of the through line from Atlanta to Monroe, m. The Silver Certificates.?On Friday the United States Treasurer issued the following notice in regard to the issue of one dollar silver certificates: "Owing to the great demand for other denominations of notes, the treasurer of the : United States is unable to supply one dollar notes, except in small amounts. In order to satisfy, as far as possible, the public demand, it has been decided to furnish r il! 41 : ? ?..,vva ?1 n/m J rum III1S UIUL'U LI1USU IJUIUS 1U aumo VI I|J^|WV i to each bank making application, and at the ; same time depositing that sum with the assistant treasurer at New York. Upon rei ceipt of a certificate of deposit the like sum will be forwarded at the expense of banks making the application. "In order to effect an equitable distribution as far as possible, applicants will obtain their notes in the order in which deposits are made at the sub-treasury until further notice. No second application will i be granted until the supply of notes is adequate to meet all current demands. The maximum amount of these certificates that the treasurer can furnish daily will not exceed eighty thousand, and it i? suggested by the acting treasurer that it will be well for the banks to ascertain} through their New York correspondents, the probable time when the." will receive shipments of ones in the order in which the deposits are made." 4* LOCAL AFFAIRS NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. gc Jos.

The company, under command of Lieut. Moore, Capt. Adickes being un- ?( avoidably absent from town, marched in full h uniform from their armory to the church, and ci a large congregation was in attendance to hear B the discourse. The sermon was founded on e< Ephesians 6:13?"Wherefore take unto you the i( whole armor of God, that ye may. be able to tl withstand in the evil day, and having done all, it to stand." The argument was a paralelism be- b tween the life of the Christian and the life of a b soldier, and abounded in much that was edify- ^ ing and instructive, while as a pulpit oration it " was pronounced an able and masterly effort.

The Circuit Judge reversed the Judgment of the Trial Justice on the ground that it was a jurisdictional defect, not cured by the voluntary appearance of the defendant. Utorlict gUports.
