The oflijfers of the private banks, how
ever, were unwlllng to make the
change, and the Governor's arguments
were unavailing. He thereupon re
turned to his otU je and sent each bank
a note, in which he said something
like this:
"No doubt you can manage the af
fairs of your bank better than I can,
and 1 do not desire to undertake the
conduct of your business. However, 1
desire to inform you that unless yoc
give me your assurance that within
three hours you will remove your cash
and securities to a point of safety with

receiver to take immediate possession
of your bank, and such receiver will be
accompanied by a file of soldiers to eu-

Seven or eight years afterwards, a
man, dressed in that shabby genteel
manner which tells that the wearer
has seen " better days," was standing
on the pavement of a poor street in
London. He was in front of a public-
house, and he had taken his stand
there, intending to play his cornet, In
the hope that it might earn a few
pence from the passers-by or listeners
within the house. He placed the cor
net to his lips and played a well-known
air.
A lady passing near, glanced rapidly
round at the musician, and saying to
the gentleman who was with her, " I
must give that poor man something,"

the meeting of justice to the accused
was again delay by the continuance
granted by Judge Hart. The con

that Colonel Worrell, of the Colum

counsel for the defense, w^as unable to
attend' the court, he being ill at his
home in Columbus. As a legal pro
position, it is claimed, Judge Hart

At the meeting of the State Railroad
Commission, the request of the rail
roads for an increase in local rates on
certain commodities was taken up. aod
a resolution offered by Mr. Wllborn
that the request be not granted for the
reason that local rates are already out
of proportion to tbe through Interstate
rates, and which Mr. Wilborn said the
roads had the authority to increase or
diminish at their will, was discussed.
Commissioner Thomas made a long
speech on the subject, taking occasion
therein to reopen the matter of the fer-
tlliair rates, and handled the other
members of the commission pretty
plainly for reducing the rate on fertili
sers, when nothing else was changed.
