NewIyork, July 30 The soiling
yesterday which caused heavy liqui
dation in the afternoon developed
into a panic at the opening of the ex
change this morning and stocks were
sold at any sacrifice, tho only object
of the brokers seeming to be to close
the accounts of the ruined specula
tors. The greatest cause of the de
cline was the non appearance of Har
ris Powers, who -took tne place of
Russell Sag0 M &e leading writer of
privileges on the street. His busi
ness was enormous and many opera
tors held hia puts and calls as secu
rity against their stocks!
At the Office of Gould & Henry,
who do nkwt of Powers' stock ex
change business, no statement can be
obtained, although one of the attaches
admitted j that Powers was embar
rassed but would probably come out
all right arid settle everything in full.
There need be no suspension today
even though he is bankrupt, as the
half holiday prevents any stock being
put to him today.

Philadelphia, Pf July 30 The
Colu mbian r Bank tf (state institution,
closed its doors tbi morning, and on
the d oor a notice wjas posted, stating
that bv order of the board of direc
tors the bank would make an assign
ment for the bcneltof its creditors.
At nbOn another notice was issued,
savintr that the assignment had been
- . t it i rx i
maae to o.; jjiuwin i u '
P. Kernan,' two attorneys. All efforts
to obtain any statement as to the
amount of liabilities or assets proved
futile, both bank! officials and as
signees doclanng tiiey had not time
to inquire into the Condition of affairs
as yet. It is behepreu, however, that
the failure is a conipieie one.
President Belt of the Formers'
Mechanics' bank, with whom the Co
lumbians have kept Ian account for sev
eral years, stated that the checks of
the latter were dishonored because
they had no money to their credit, and
furthermore .had n? securities on de
posit, as was ulJimed by the Colum
bian's officers. .Mr J Bell said that the
securities referred to consisted of
checks and drafts On an outside bank,
and that the Farmers' & Mechanics'
woulA not accept! them except for
collection, and if jthey proved good
the money would lie paid, but noth
ing would be advanced. It is un ler-
stood from reliable sources mat tne
chief causes of the failure were heavy
advances made on grafts of the Ivee-
Stayier party of New York, and ad
vances made on consignments of mer
chandise shipped from South America
and other points, which were not ta
ken up by the consignees, thus leav
ing the bank in a crippled condition.
It is doubtful if ! anything definite
can be learned before a borough ex
amination has, been made, and this
will consume considerable time. The
failure caused some excitement in the
city, although among financial men it
was not much Of a surprise.
Mr.. Ives,of the Ives-Stajner party,
has been a very large customer of the
bank,- a single item of his business
recently reaching the sum of $600000.
It is positively stated by the bank
officials that Mr. Ives is not in Phil
adelphia today. They assert that he
went west last night, and say that
if he had been! in the city he
certainly would have been at the
bank. They decline to state whe
ther or not he is at present
indebted to the Institution to any
great extent- The assignment was
decided upon, it is said, in order that
the collateral in which the bank's
funds are locked up might be judi
ciously realized upon, and some think
that with proper handling i the assets
can be made to meet all the liabilities
in full The! capital stock Of the
bank is $200,000. According to the
last statement they had on deposit
$400,000 and owed to other banks
$150,000. There jare other liabilities
amounting probably to $235,-
000, making their total lia
bilities $985,060.! The bank had &
branch at Gennantown, the business
of which consisted mostly of small de
posits made by tbjo working class,and
this was also closed this morning.
The assistant cashier in charge of the
liermantown DanJf assured tne depos
itors that they would be paid in full.
The Columbians were the agents of
the American Exchange in London
and the American; Exchange in Paris.
A gentleman who is in a position to
know, said to a reporter this after
noon "The status! of the affair is just
this: When the negotiations for
the ' purchase of the Baltimore
& Ohio stock from Robert Garrett
were in progress Ives deposited a
considerable amount of money as
margin or premium. and when the ne
gotiations were declared at an end
Ives did not get bis money back and
Garrett went to fjurope, thus leaving
it tied up for some time at least.
Therefore Ives t was considerably
crippled and was; probably unable to
settle with the Columbian.
The solicitor for the bank states
that there are probably $100,000 of
funds tied up in merchandise which
was bought iu foreign countries on a
letter of credit issued by the Colum-

It seems to be the de
sire of the Executive committee
to have as large an attendance at our
State Fair as possible and if you will
pardon me I will suggest two plans,
either of which will odd greatly to the
number present, and if both could be
put successfully in operation, and
there is no reason why they should
not, I am sure the numbers of visi
tors will be doubled. We have had no
encampment of the j State Guard for
two years. Could not the Governor
order a three days encampment du
ring the fair. These few days vould
be of great service to the State Guard
and Raleigh being a central point and
easy of access they could be assem
bled at very little cost. The rail
roads will cheerfully give rates at
three fourths of a cent a mile to com
panies of, twenty-five or more, and the
other expenses will be very light.
Then the encampment will be in Octo
ber, usually the most pleasant month
in the year, and the boys can all get
off at that time with very little troub
le. If the Governor thinks
best not to have- an encamp
ment at that time, then let
the executive committee offer a lot of
prizes for the best drilled companies.
We have seen how thousands of peo
ple went to Washington to be pres
ent at the national drill and encamp
ment. Now let the citizens of Raleigh
guarantee the sum of $1,000 and
then let the executive committee offer

"They" say Wall Street is a wicked
place and that men occasionally have
worse troubles than physical ones. Yet,
relief from physical pain gives the bro
ker a wider mar aria in that it leaves him
a clear head. Eugene Rubino, Stock and
Bond Broker, no. S4 all Street, N. Y.,
says: .1 I
In 1881 1 was confined to my bed; by
Sciatica. The pain not only went down
my tnign, out anected my side as well.
I suffered greatly, and after having been 1
shut up for four weeks, determined to
abandon doctors and their prescriptions,
and try Allcock's Porous Piasters!. I
placed two on my thighs, one on my hip
bone and one on my aide. I was com
pletely cured in four days; and on the
fifth day after the application was at my
