According to a published statement, the combination amounts approixmate ?y to fusion, and the securing of all tte advantages thereof, while avioding its disadvantges. Each bank agrees to elect two direc? tors and three members-ot the board of overseers of the other bank, thus securing the mutual direction of the nssitutions.

The reserve fund of the two hanks amount to $13,500,000 and their joint capital to $71,000,000, thus mak? ing their union the strongest aggrega? tion of banking capital in the world, with the exception of the Bank of England.

One of Cpie Read's Good Stories. "fie had got out of the habit of: wearing his dress clothes, when he was invited to an inaugural ball. His wife insisted he should go. So he put on his evening togs with many fore? bodings, for he had grown stouter since ne had last wore them. j "Sure enough,, when he got in the ballroom he backed against the wall and started making signals of distress. ' ** What is it judge?" asked his wife. " It's just as told you, " was the reply, trcnsers have ripped." "I've provided for just such a contin? gency," said his.wife. "? kays ? asedie and thread* ^h?re is a little dressing-room that's deserted right outside. I'll fix them for you there." So the judge backed out sideways and into the little room. Here it was discovered that the damage was exten? sive and it would be necessary to re? move the trousers. This was done, and so sooner done than the voices of ladies were heard. "Quick get into this closet," said Ihe judge's wife, opening a small door. The judge jumped in, just in time. But no sooner was the door closed on him than it shook with kicks and clamorous knocking, with the voice of the judge heard above the -tin, exclaiming: "Open this blanked -door ! I'm in the ballroom !" Washington, Nov. 15.-Confirmatory information of the attack on San Do? mingo City by the revolutionists reached the State department today is a dispatch from Minister Powell.

London, Nor. 14.-Many hitherto unknown sayings of Jesns Christ have been discovered in Egypt by archae? ologists who have dug up papyri, bur? ied since the second century, 100 miles north of Cairo. Dr. Bernard P. Gren? fell, who has been engaged in Egypt ian excavations since 1894, at the gen? eral meeting of the Egypt exploration fund here yesterday gave the following details : Accompanied by Dr. Hunt, Dr. Grenfell found a rich ptolematic ne? cropolis az El-Hibeh. The bulk of the documents from one mound consisted of a collection of sayings of Jesus. They are all introduced with the words " Jesus saith, " and for the most part are new. The ends of the lines, un? fortunately, are often obliterated.. Apparently all the sayings were ad? dressed to St. Thomas. One of the most remarkable is : / "Let not him that seeketh cease from his search until he find, and when he finds he shall wonder : wonder? ing he shall reach the kingdom, and when he reaches the kingdom he shall have rest" Dr. Grenfell announced that enor? mous interest would be aroused by the discoveries, on account of the varia? tions they disclose from accepted texts. One variant of the mystical sayings re? corded in St. Luke, "The kingdom of God is within yon," was of no great value as the saying in the papyrus appeared quite different surroundings from those attributed tc it by the evangelist and extended far into an? other region. According to Dr. Grenfell these say? ings formed the new gospel which is traditionally associated with St. Thomas. An interesting variation of the gos? pel according to St. Luke, 11th chapter and 52c verse, reads in the papyrus: "Ye have hidden the key of knowl? edge, ye entered not yourselves and to them that were entering in ye did not open." Aother fragment contained a dis? course of Christ, closely related to passages of the sermon on the mount, and a conversation between Christ and his disciples, in which Christ' answers a question as to when his kingdom will be realized, saying: 4 * When ye return to the state of in? nocence which existed before the fall. " A valuable find was made in papyri, written in Latin, giving the text of the epistle to the Hebrews and an epitome of Livy's six lost books. This, with other papyri covering the period 150-137, B. C., threw much new and valuable information on the history of the world and marked the recovery of hitherto lost classical literature to Egypt. Fatal Railroad Collision. _ New Orleans, Nov. 14.-A rear-end collision on the Illinois Central rail? road near Kent wood, La., So miles from New Orleans, tonight resulted in the killing of 20 negroes. Ten other negroes and three white men were injured, some of them fatally. The collision was between the Mc(Jomb City accomodation train and the north? ern express bound to Chicago. The McComb City train left here at 3.50 p. m. It should have side tracked to let the express, which, left at 5.20 p. m., go by, but got behind before she reached Kentwood. Near the station the express train ran her down. The rear coach of the accommodation, filled with negroes, many of them section hands who had been picked up on the way, was completely wrecked. The engine of the express did not leave the track and after an hour's de? lay the through train proceeded on her way. Physicians from McComb City and Kentwood were sent to the scene of the wreck to attend the injured. No list of the dead or injured was received at the railroad offices here.

Washington, Nov. 15.-A revolution in Colombia is not impossible accord? ing to an opipion expressed in a dis? patch received at the state department today from United States Minister Beaupre at Bogota, lt was dated Thurs? day, Nov. 12, and at that time Mr, Beaupre described the feeling in the capital city as panicky. The minister has delivered to the Colombian government his^instructions sent him by the state department on the 6th inst., advising him that the United States has entered into rela? tions with the government at Panama and commended to both governments of Colombia and Panama "the peace? ful and equitable settlement of all questions at issue between them." The Colombian government, accord? ing to Minister Beaupre, was disposed to ask for an explanation of the instruc? tions, but the minister informed it that he regarded them as self-explana? tory. M. Bunau-Varilla, the miniser from Panama, continued his effortr today to secure recognition of the new gov? ernment by the European nations. Twice he saw M. Jusserand, the French ambassador, in this behalf, and tonight M. Varilla expressed the opinion that France soon will accord the recognition desired. The French government is anxious that the repub? lic of Panama shall guarantee to the Panama Canal company nd the French citizens interesed therein ali the rights, privileges, etc., now held by them before any steps looking to the recognition by France is given, and tonight M. Varilla cabled his govern? ment for authority to make such repre? sentations. Today he received a long cablegram from Panama expressing thanks to the government of the United States for its courtesy in offering the privileges of the United States warships to Gen. Reyes on his arrival at the Isthmus of Panama should he desire to go aboard one. Gen Reyes and two other Colombian generals are reported to have gone to Panama from Bogota on a peace commission. The cablegram says the greatest enthusiasm exists throughout the republic of Panama over the reception given to its minis? ter here and to the recogition of the new republic. The same cablegram gave authority to Minister Varilla to make rep? resentations to tlie foreign rep? resentatives here necessary to effect a speedy recognition of the new re? public. The minister has suggested to his government that it clothe the ! commission now cn its way from Panama with such powers, but the officials there preferred that the minister should exercise these offices as he already possesses diploma? tic functions. In official circles here the opinion is expressed that tL^ 2ommission consist? ing of Gen. Reyes, Holguin and Opina, which have started on a peace com? mission to Panama, are embarked on a hopeless task. It is now too late, it is said, for anything in the direction indicted in a dispatch to be accom? plished. The Helping Word. There was a certain old woman who was a constant and devout attendant at church. Her husband died, and her pastor called upon her to comfort her in her sad bereavement.

"That's grand, sister," exclaimed the parson sympathetically, "but tell me what passage of the word help? ed you most." "Grin and bear it." Well Corned Vets.

Several other houses in the city were visited during the night, but for some reason these were not entered. Dr. Parkhurst says: "New York, after Januray let, will be hell with the lid off." ' COLOMBIA'S PROTEST. Strong Arraignment of Coursa of United States Gabled to London. Parallel Drawn Between Panama Affair and Policy of Govern? ment in 1861. London, Nov. 16.- The Colombian authorities have cabled to London a lengthy protest against the United States action toward Panama, in which they claim that the "main responsi? bility for the secession of Panama lies with the United States, firstly, by fomenting the separatist spirit, of which there seems to be held clear evidence ; secondly, by hastily acknowl? edging the independence of the revolt? ed province, and, fially, by preventing the Colombian government from using proper means to repress the rebel? lion.5' The cable message goes on to say I thar President Marroquin has ener? getically protested to the United States and wishes that his protest should be known throughout the civilized world. The president contends that the United States has infringed article 35, of the treaty of 1846, which, he asserts, implies the duty on the part of the United States to help Colombia in maintaining her sovereignty over the isthmus and adds that the1 ' Colombian government repudiates the assumption that they have barred the way to carrying out the canal." The protest asserts that the delay in the negotiations bad not affected the ultimate issue of the canal project and concludes: ''The hastiness in recognizing the new government which was sprung up under the circumstances is all the more surprising to the Colombian govern? ment as they recollect the energetic opposition of Washington to the ac? knowledgment of the belligerency of the Confederates by the powers dur? ing the Civil war. TEXT OF THE PROTEST. New York, Nov. 16.-The New York Evening Post has recieved the text of the Colombian protest. It is addressed 'to the United States senate and is signed by President Marroquin. The Evening Post's dispatch is as follows: "The president of Colombia has today addressed the American senate in the following terms : " 'To his excellency, the president of the senate, Washington : " 'Excellency: The government and people of Colombia have been painfully surprised at the notification given by the minister of the United States to the effect that the government at Washington had hastened to recognize the government consequent upon a barracks coup in the department of Panama. " 'The bonds of sincere and unin? terrupted friendsnhip which unite the two governments and the two people ; the solemn obligation undertaken by the American union in a public treaty to guarantee the sovereignty and pro? perty of Colombia in the Isthmus of Panama; the protection which the citizens of that country enjoy and will continue to enjoy among us; the traditional principles of the American government in opposition to secession movements ; the good faith which bas characterized the great people in its international relations; the manner in Which the revolution was brought I about and the precipitancy of its re? cognition make the government and ! the people of Colombia hope that the senate of the people of the United States will admit their obligation to assist us in maintaining the integrity of our territory and in f repressing that j insurrection which is not even the re? sult of a popular feeling. " 'In thus demanding justice? Colom? bia appeals to the dignity and honor of the American senate and people. (Signed) " 'Marroquin."

Chicago, Nov. 15.-A victory, tem? porary at least, was scored today by the management of the Chicago rail? way against its striking employees. From early in the morning until dark tonight the company succeeded in main? taining a rpgular service on its Went? worth avenue line which extends from Seventy-ninth street to the down town district, a distance of eight miles. Twenty five cars in all were put into the service but the schedule was inter? fered with frequently by delays caused by obstructions being placed on the tracks and the inexperience of the men in charge of the cars. The most serious trouble occurred during the morning when a number of arrests were made but clashes between the police and the crowds that lined the streets were frequent during the afternoon and when darkness set in it was not considered safe to send more cars from the barn. The last car returned to the barns at 4.30 o'clock and after it had been safely iioused the day's work came to an end. More arrests were made during the day than at any time since the strike was declared. Yellow Fever in Laredo. Laredo, Texas, Nov. 15.-The official bulletin issued tonight is as follows: New casee 22, deaths 2, total number of cases tc date 688, total deaths 84. Drs. K. D. Murray and G. M. Gui teras, of r,he marine hospital service, met with a serious accident in a run? away today. They were returning from the bedside of a yellow fever patient when their horses ran away, the bugey collided with terrific force with a large stone pillar, and throwing both the physicians and driver to the sidewalk. Dr. Murray sustained in? juries, which may prove fatal, owing to his advanced age. The driver was un? injured, but Dr. Guiteras sustained severe bruises and was badly shaken up. His condition will not prevent him from continuing his work. BRIBE-TAKING SENATOR. Senator Dietrich, of Nebraska, In? dicted for Corruption. A Sensation Created in Nebraska by Damaging Evidence Before Grand Jury and the Finding of a True Bil!. Oamha, Neb., Nov. 16.-The United States grand jury tonight returned true bills against United States {Senator Chas. H. Dietrich and Postmaster Jacob Fisher, of Hastings, Neb., charging them with bribery and con? spiracy. The Senator is charged with accepting a bribe of 81,300 from Fish? er, in consideration of which the lat? ter was recommended for the post mastership at Hastings. When the indictments were brought into the United States District Court, Judge Munger presiding, and were placed on file, the Court merely ac? cepted the report of the grand jury, making no remarks on its contents. The indictmnt against Senator Deitrich charges that he accepted money and property in consideration of his reccomending Fisher for appoint? ent as postmaster at Hastings. That against Postmaster Fisher charges him with making an agreement with Sena? tor Deitrich by which the former was to pay in property and money $1,300 for securing to Fisher the appoint? ment. The last witness called before the grand jury was William Dutton, a hardware merchant of Hastings, who gave his testimony today. According to Dutton's testimony, he (Dutton) acted as intermediary in ajl the alleg? ed transactions between the indicted men, and, after hearing his evidence, the grand jury excused the remaining witnesses who had not testified, and at once prepared its report to Judge Munger. Four other cases, said to be of a similar nature, are being investigated by the grand jury and a report on all or part of them is expected very soon. All are cases in which postoffices and postmasters are concerned. This indictment is said to be the first ever returned against a United States Senator on charges of this nature, and caused intense excitement in Government circles in Omaha, and in adjoining towns, when it became public. What action will be taken, if any, to apprehend Senator Dietrich could not be learned tonight. Postmaster Fisher said tonight: "There is really nothing in the charges, and my friends will support nie in my defence. If the witnesses had been permitted to be cross-examin? ed the result would have been quite different and no indictment would have followed. Men have pushed this matter who were turned down for reappointment, and have trumped up charges to 'get even.' " Washington, Nov. 16.-Senator Deit? rich and Editor Rosewater of the Omaha Bee, have arrived in this city, and tonight all inquiries as to the in? dictment of the Senator were referred to Mr. Rosewater, who declared that the indictments were the result of a political quarrel. Mr. Rosewater as? serted that Senator Deitrich had a good defence, and added that he and the Senator had come to Washington at this time to bring about the removal of Ditsrict Attorney Sommers. He baid they had already been to the White House on this mission. Mr. Rosewater declared that District At? torney Sommers had pushed the charges against Senator Deitrich for the reason that they were politically antagonistic. THE STRENGTH OF THE S. 1 L What President J. S. Williams Says of Mr. Ryan's Offer. Richmond, Va., Nov. 15.-President John Skelton Williams, of the Sea bord Air Bine system, who returned to the city today from New York, said tonight to an Associated Press corres? pondent : "The financial proposition recently made to the Seaboard Air Line Rail? way by Messrs Thoms F. Ryan and Blair & Co?/of New York, -will be act? ed upon by our board of directors at their meeting on Tuesday. The propo? sition meets the approval of myself and my associates who own a large majority interest in the system. The money which is offered, if accepted, will be used to pay off the company's floating debt, which, by the way is inconsider? able, amounting to scarcely more than one month's gross earnings, and also will furnish the funds desired for cer? tain important plans of development, including the amount required for the completin of the Birmingham line. The funds necessary for the construc? tion of the Seaboard's new road be? tween Atlanta ad Birmingham was ob? tained more than six months ago through the sale of $6,000,000 Birming? ham division 4 per cent bonds at 85 and interest, and the additional funds now desired in this connection are to be held for the purpose of providing extensive terminals and equipment and for the cid East and West Railroad, now part of the Atlanta-Birmingham line, which expenditures were not covered by the bond sale above referred to. The Seaboard Air Line Railroad is in a thoroughly sound and healthy condition. The last annual report shows that the floating debt of the company at the time of that report, was considerably less than $1,000,000. ' The surplus earnings of the property for the past year were not only largely in excess of all interest, rentals and fixed charges, but were equal to more than 4 per cent on the company's pre? ferred stock, and its physical condition is good." New York, Nov. IC?.-The Standard oil company lias declared a dividend of $12 per share payable. D?cember 15tb next to stockholders of record of Nov. 20.

Washington, Nov. 16.-Representa? tive Crumpacker of Inidana introduc? ed a bill today making it a crime punishable by death to participate in the lynching of an alien. STATE BOARD GUTS OFF CHARLESTON PROFITS. Profits to be Used for Constabu? lary Expenses in Charleston Board Furnishes Bonds. At a called meeting held yesterday, the State board of directors applied the lash to Charleston for the treat? ment the constables have been receiv? ing there recently. This was done by adopting resolutions temporarily with? holding the city's dispensary profits, amounting to 830,000 a year, and sum? moning the Charleston city and county authorities here on the 2d of next month to show cause why this with? drawal shall not be made permanent. The profits thus withdrawn will be used in furnishing bond for constables and in otherwise meeting the expense of enforcing the law in Charleston. This action was taken at the instance of Gov. Heyward, or rather with his sanction and cooperation. The profits cannot be diverted to meet snch ex? penses except upon his approval, though had he failed to act the board would doubtless have withheld Charleston's city profits and turned them over to the county of Charleston. Gov. Heyward and Chief Constable Hammet laid before the board the con? dition of affairs in regard to the con? stabulary and the enforcement of the law in Charleston. The action in? stituted by Wieters in the United States court against the dispensary constables and the arrest of the con? stables and their indictment in the State courts under two charges were discussed. Chief Hammet reported that every obstacle conceivable has been thrown in the way of the constables to hamper their efforts in the reasonable enforcement of the law. Not only were heavy bonds demanded, but for the want of bondsmen, which the division chief could not obtain in the city 3f Charleston, the constables were thrown into jail even in a civil action where nothing but a money judgment was asked for. Mr. Eammet also com? plained that the clerk of the court refused to accept cash in lieu of bond. In these conditions the constables were said to be hiding out in order that they may escape being placed in jail, from which it seems next to im? possible to obtain release even though placed there while attempting to en? force the law under the direction of the governor. BOARD BACKS THE GOVERNOR. Inasmuch as the constables were un? able to procure bond in Charleston and upon the- statement of the governor that he had no funds available, and requested such financial aid as the State dispensary authorities could afford, the following resolutions were adopted : "That the sum of $1,000 be deposited in the Carolina National bank as an indemnity for bail demanded of dis? pensary constables in the city of Charleston, and that, upon the perfor? mance of the conditions of said bond, the said $1,000 be converted into the fund from which it was set apart. "That upon the written order of Chief State Constable Hammet, on the approval of the governor, that so much money be set. aside and deposited in bank as may be necessary.to indemnify any bail given for the release and ap? pearance of any dispnsary constables that may hereafter be held for appear? ance in any coart for charges arising in the performance of their duty." With this financial aid furnished him by the State baord the governor will be able to see that the constables are fully protected in the discharge of their duties and that the enforcement of the law will be carried on with the means placed in his hands. At the same meeting Chief Constable Hammet made a statement as to the en? forcement of the dispensary law in the city of Charleston. He said that the present endeavor to enforce the law in Charleston as.elsewhere had result? ed in an improvement but that this very fact is evidently irritating to the law breakers and the efforts to enforce the law are met in a still more deter? mined spirit to hamper the officers and to violate the law. This was event from the badgering of the offi? cers that led to the resolutions of the board in making provision for bail. Mr. Hammet Lays that not only are the officers hampered in their work in every conceivable manner but the State is forced to great expense in en? deavoring to keep the constables at their appointed duties. OFFENDNG LOCALITY MUST PAY. It is determined that in view of the persistant violations of the law and the flagrant failure of the local au? thorities to enforce or to assist in the enforcement of the law in Charleston and the\extra expense incurred there? from, that the school fund should not suffer from the violations of the law and inaction of the local authorities, but that under section ??? of the dis? pensary law, the offending locality should pay the expense incurred and that this burden should not fall upen other sections of the State where the law is enforced and obeyed and where the local authorities give their assis? tance and moral support in the en? forcement of the law. In view of these facts the following resolution was unanimously adopted by the board : Resolved, That under authority vested in the State board of director? by section 565 of the dispensary law, the part of the profits going to the city of Charleston from dispensary earnings are hereby withheld to be ex? pended on account of the constabulary force, and the city and county au? thorities are hereby requested to show cause at our office on the '2d day of December why this action on our part shall not be made permanent from and after that date. Second. The county dispensers or the city of Charleston are hereby di rectd until further directed to remit on Monday of each week the amount of profits otherwise going to the city, to the State treasurer, and the county board of control is instructed to see to the execution of this provision.
