FRIDAY, SEPT. 24, "897- TIIK IIKHNCT NATIONAL HAN K OK AMI LVILI.L. The wreck of the First National I5ank of Asheville appears to be well nigh corr.plcte. It looks now as if the depositors who had left 100,000 and more in the bank will get nothing. Hut in such things it is fair to suspend final judgment until we hear all of both sides, as to the guilt of the offi cials, but it must be confessed that it looks painfully shady at this writing. The bank being a na tional bank, no director could draw out more than $10,000. To obviate this, three of the directors induced insolvent persons, some of them not knowing what they were doing, to sign blank notes. These notes were filed out in amounts to suit the directors and all of the deposits, it appears now, drawn out with which to buy up bank stock for themselves. The per sons who signed these "accommo dation," worthless notes, say they did not know their meaning did not suppose they would ever be presented against them for pay ment, as has been the case. Is not this against I'nited States banking laws? Would the comp troller of the treasury not oppose this sort of thing ? This bring up a point of inter est to the public, for different per sons have now and then, amounts (generally aa editor's amount is small) on deposit in bank. The question is this : We have a State bank examiner. 1 1 is duty is to examine the banks occasionally. He is expected only when he comes, and the books are opened for his full inspection, as to method of accounts, sound se curities, method of business, etc. The word of the directors are not to be taken, whoever they may be and they may be irreproachable, if so, the investigation will aid and not injure them ; if there is crookedness it is due the public to have it known at the earliest mo ment, that hard earned savings may not be destroyed in a great bank wreck! If the State exam iner thus examines into the condi tion of banks why are not more banks discovered to be in a failing condition before they do fail? It would be worth more to deposi tors and the business public to hinder a bank from going to pieces, rather than to have a great assemblage to bury the worthless fragments, This is both sad and unprofitable. Hut it may be that dishonest bank officers sometimes deceive the bank examiner. With this week's issue of the Morganton Herald it has been seen that Mr. T. G. Cobb has sold out his entire interest in that most excellent journal to Mr. J. W. Count, of Washington, I). C., of twenty-five years of newspaper ex perience, in one form or another. All the interests of the Herald Pub lishing Company go with the transfer, the relation of The Mk sskngkr continuing the same as formerly. Our relations with Mr. Cobb have been most appreciable and agreeable, indeed. May every turn the future shall reveal to him be to his every interest. And now we have a scandal within official circles of the peni tentiary, as well as bad business management. We shall be sur prised if there is not a change of State government next election. Reason; General inefficiency. Parties who lynched Hratchett, and damaged the Buncombe county jail, are being indicted. They should be, and punished ac cording; to law and the evidence. A Mvdlrnt Student i'oiiuU Ilia Sinter's Hotly In a lIUtMH-tlng Itoom. Cliu-UKO Iispatch. The students who attend the post mortem examinations in the dissecting room of the County Hospital witnessed a highly dra matic scene yesterday. Dr W. F. Kirby, one of the hospital sur geons, had as his guest a young medical student f'lom Louis ille, and as the corpse was brought in, the doctor jokingly athistd his friend not to faint. The young man promised not to do so, hut the instant t he clot h was raised from the corpse he threw up his hands and fell to the floor, insensible. When lie was tinalh brought to his senses, he stated that the young woman was ins sister, who had disappeared from home live jears aj;o. and who was thought 'to U dead. The girl was known here as Minnie Heath, and killed herself on Friday bv takiug poison. Dr. Kirby refused to give the name of the student. NotU-e ! Notice 1 All persons indebted to A.

A. liL ANTON. JACKSON'S rittST btEt. A rrCtlcl Joke Vh the Caue of the tlKht. Memphis Commeninl Appeal. At this same term, May, 1788, Andrew Jackson, Esq., came into court and produced a license as an attorney, with a certificate suf ficiently attested of his taking the oaths necessary to said office, and was admitted as an attorney in this county court. Jackson had reached his majority two months before this date. He had studied law at Salisbury, N. C, under Spruce McKay, who, as we have seen, had for several years visited the courts at Jonesborough in the capacity of lawyer and judge, and was well acquainted with the country and people. It is alt ogether probable that Jackson came to the western country under the advice of McKay. The fledgling, shortly after his arrival in Jonesborough, was retained in his first suit, which proved to be the occasion of his first duel as well. His opponent was the older and more learned Waighstill Avery. It seems that Colonel Avery had the better side of the cause, and that Jackson, foreseeing defeat, tried to break his fall by a bit of pleasantry in the perpetra tion of a practical joke on his op ponent. Avery, as was the cus tom in those days of circuit riding, carried a few books and his briefs in a pair of saddlebags. Jackson knew that the authority relied upon by Colonel Avery to win the case was Bacon's "Abridgements," and, knowing where the book was kept, he went to the saddlebags and extracted the book, substitut ing a piece of bacon of the same shape. When, in the course of his argument, Avery had occasion to appeal to his authority, he took from his saddlebags the package and unfolded it before the court and jury. His precident did not apply. Suspecting Jackson of being the guilty person, Avery turned upon him and gave him a tongue lashing. Jackson was much angered in turn, and wrote upon the flyleaf of a law book a demand for a retraction. This was not forthcoming, and Jackson sent this challenge: August 12, 1788. Sir: When a man's feeling and character are injured he ought to seek a speedy redress. You received a few lines from me yesterday, and undoubt edly understand me. My charac ter you have injured, and, further, you have insulted me in the pres ence ot a court and a large au dience. I, therefore, call upon you as a gentleman to give me satisfaction for the same, and I further call upon you to give me an answer immediately without equivocation, and I hope you can do without dinner until the busi ness is done; or it is consistent with the character of a gentleman when he injures a man to make speedy reparation; therefore, I hope you will not fail in meeting me this day; from yr obt st, Andrew Jackson. To Col. Avery. P. S. This evening after court adjourns. Avery accepted the challenge, and the duel was fought at dusk of August 12, 17S8, in a rivine near the court house in Jonesborough. After the exchange of a few shots Jackson declared himself satisfied, and the antagonists left the field to become and remain firm friends. TIIK IK ASK CASK IN NKW YOKK. Spreial MnMter Craiue'a Court The Hear ing of the TeKtiiiiony Concluded The Court Met Yesterday in Haltiuiore. New York, Sept. 21 The hear ing in the case of the Governor and Attorney General of North Carolina, against the Southern Railway Company, was concluded here to-day, before Special Master Kerr Craige, appointed by the I'nited States District Court to take testimony. The North Caro lina officials seek to annul the lease of the North Carolina Rail road to the Southern Railway Company, which was executed be fore the Republicans came into power in North Carolina. The North Carolina Railroad is con trolled by the State, and it is al leged that in leasing it to the Southern Railway, the interests of the State were fraudulently sacri ficed. Col. F. W. Huidekoper, presi dent of the Cleveland, St. Louis & Pacific Railroad Company, for merly receiver of the Richmond & Danville Railroad, which was started by the Southern, and E. Francis Hyde, second vice-president of the Central Trust Com pany, holders of the mortgages, testified to-day, as to the value of the lease. Both declared that they knew of no fraud or illegality in connection with the lease. The next hearing will be held m Baltimore to-morrow, J. Pierpont Morgan was subpoenaed as a wit ness yesterday. It was said that he was in control of the Southern Railway. Mr. Morgan was ex cused on the statement that he knew no details regarding the lease of ihe North Carolina road. Three-Dollar Shoe Itouela a Native ol North Carolina. Scotland Neck Common wcuth. Mr. M. V. Perry, of Littleton, told the editor of this paper some time ago that he remembers dis tinctly that a short while after the war W. L. Douglas, now the famous shoe man of Brockton, Mass., was a helper in the business house of Bottimore, Morrow & Co., of Nor folk, Ya. He was hoi n near L'l.za- neui i.ity, in this State, and after working m Norfolk awhile he went to Boston ami then to Brockton, where he has made such a success in the manufacture of shoes. It has been, said that Mr.- Douglas himself stated that he made it a rule to have every peg and erery stitch in his shoes well done, and herein was the secret of his success. His life ought to be a lesson to every young man iu the laud. W heu young men leam to do their best for their employers all the time, there will uot be so many failures iu after lile. The ery best that one can do all the time is the very least for which thv mr expect the best success. STATE SEWS. A terrific thunder storm visited Beaufort Friday night last ad wrecked four residences. No fa talities. The Citizen says the John Robin son and Franklin Bros, combined shows will exhibit at Asheville October 4th. Governor Taylor, of Tennessee, lectured in Asheville yesterday evening for the benefit of Bethel Methodist parsonage. Senator Butler assures the pub lic in a speech that "the two Wil sons will be removed as railroad commissioners in a few days." The main building at the Pres byterian orphanage at Barium Springs is complete, at a cost of $14,000, and there is $900 cash on hand. There are eighty orphans at that place. A Duplin county man tells the Wilmington .Messenger that people in his county are hauling water a mile or two for their stock. Many of the streams and wells have com pletely dried up. The Charlotte A'eTs learns that Senator Pritchard will go to Wash ington this week to finish dis tributing the "plums" to the hun gry office seekers. He is now at his home in Marshall. Evangelist Lee is stirring Win ston. He preached a powerful sermon to more than 2000 men Sunday afternoon, and nearly all of them stood up, thereby promis ing to join an anti-saloon league. Judge Dick, of the western dis trict Federal Court, has under gone a dangerous surgical opera tion at Cincinnati. Judge Braw ley is to hold court for him at Statesville and Judge Purnell is to hold it at Greensboro. The New York Herald announces the engagement of Miss Saidee Saunders Tucker to Mr. William Holt Williamson, both of Raleigh, N. C. The marriage is to take place at Christ church, Raleigh, on November 17th next.' The Journal says Mr. R. L. Abernethy sold a bale of cotton in Mt. Holly Monday of last week that had been picked and ginned that day. It was manufactured into yarn by 10 o'clock that night and was shipped next day to Phil adelphia. The Salisbury World says that several ladies of the city are pre paring to give a reception to Mrs. Chan Lee, who recently came to that city a bride. Mrs. Chan is probably the only Chinese woman in North Carolina. She does not Speak English. V. C. Austin, a prominent citizen of Monroe, fell dead last Saturday while standing in a bar-room. He was in his usual health and in the midst of conversation when stricken presumably with apo plexy. Mr. Austin was 45 years of age and weighed 300 pounds. The Salisbury .interviewed Senator Ransom as he passed through for Blowing Rock, and says Senator Ransom will cer tainly be found in the next cam paign, and those who know him predict that it will be one of the greatest campaigns of his life. It is said that Otho Wilson will call Senator Butler to personal ac count for the attack made on his aged mother in the last issue of the Caucasian. Butler's own fol lowers have have condemned him for this. Otho is mad, as he tells every one with whom he comes in contact. Salisbury World: General T. L. Clingman passed through the city Saturday on his way to Morgan ton to spend the remainder of his years in the western hospital for the insane. He was accompaned by his nephew, T. L. Puryear. The old gentleman is infirm and decrepit. At Weaverville, Buncombe county, Friday envening, Mrs. Annie Miles, who was convalescing from an attack of typhoid fever, was given a dose of carbolic acid by the nurse by mistake for the regular medicine, and died in a short time. Mrs. Miles was 27 years old and leaves a husband and twochildren. Salisbury World: The Western train which comes down at 7:40 in the evening has taken on a new wrinkle. Instead of coming in en gine first as heretofore it now backs down the track just as the Norfolk train does. This lands the passengers squarely at the end of the platform and does away with crowding by trucks. Asheville Citizen: Perhaps the smallest consideration on record in a mule trade was that paid yes terday. The Carolina Coal Com pany has had a mule that has some heart trouble that affects it in its work. The plan of killing the animal was considered, but it was not done, and yesterday the mule was sold for 15 cents' worth of peaches. Goldsboro Argus: We notice from the State papers with deep regret that Dr. George W. Sander lin has again returned to the friendly walls of the hospital in Baltimore, where he has gone for mental and physical treatment. Dr. Sanderlin is no ordinary man.

Salisbury Sun, 17th: When No. 35, the fast mail, came in last night, a few minutes late, she brought almost half a beef on the gearing of theengine. While run ning at a good rate of speed the train came upon two cows on the track. It was impossible to stop and in a moment the pilot had struck both animals. And it never left a bone unbroken in either of them. In March, 1896, Rosa Moss, a colored girl of Oxford, started with her mother to Chapel Hill. On changing cars at the Univer sity station the child fell or was thrown under the train while in motion and had both feet so ter ribly mangled as to require ampu tation.

SITUATION IN TIIK KLONDIKE. Fond Source In the Cold Region I'lenty of tiold Hut It Won't Buy It read and lit Worthless. Seattle, Wash , Disnateh. One h mid red thousand dollars will not buy four sacks of flour in Dawson City to day. However, if a miner is starving, a sack of flour and a can of cauued beef will be giyen bim. That is all. Those who cannot pay fabulous prices for even these plain uecessaries must get out of the country. When a miner reaches Dawson City by the trail or from St. Michael, he is taken iu charge by the miners' committee, and bis food, aftei taking out barely enough to last him till the first supply boat reaches the diggings next June, is distributed among the miners in the camp pro rata. It is asserted that if Clarence Berry were in Dawson City to day he would be lynched, for the miners in the camp blame bim for the foolhardy stampede of scantily supplied people to the district, im periling the lives of all, on account of the food famine that has al ready begun. This, iu brief, is the story brought down by the passengers on the steamer South Coast, Capt. Stoddard, arriving here yesterday afternoou, eleven days from St. Michael. Ou board were twenty five passengers, aud about a quar ter of a million in gold dust. No man had less than $1,000. One man, Allen Larsen, a Swede, bad 335.000. He held his claim on Eagle Creek, near Circle City, for 12,000 a mouth ago. He worked it two years, and took out 2o,000 more. He is going to his native laud to live in ease the reruaiuder of his days. Robert Wigg, a half-breed In dun, aged tweuty three, was a passenger on the South Coast. He got to the Klondike in Sep tember last, and located a claim on Eldorado, No. 20, above Dis covery. He took out $45,000 after working thirty days with five men, and left his partner with the claim while he came out to hustle for 'grub," as he says. Wigg is a bright young fellow, dark skinned, but as straight as a young fir in his native forests of the North west Territory. He was asked to estimate the amount of gold in the Klondike. "I can't tell you ex actly," he said to the correspon dent. "There is moie than $1,000, 000 that I know of. It's as com mon as dirt. But it is useless there. It won't buy food." Wigg says that 'the bench, or summer diggings on Bonanza cieek which are new in the history of mining, would be considered the richest iu Alaska were it not for the finds of pure gold that have been made on the bedrock of Eldorado creek. The twenty. five bench claims are being worked this summer, aud they will yield at least half a million. He knows every foot of the ground on Bonanza creek, and saw the miners working on their claims a week before he left there August 18. ws of The day. Gen. Lee goes back to Cuba in October. A treaty of peace between Tur key and Greece has at last been signed. A large number of miners who were on strike in the Pittsburg and Illinois districts returned to work Monday. Jimmy Michael woo the 25 mile bicycle race at Boston Saturday in the fastest time ever made 45 minutes, 58 4 5 seconds. At Columbia, S. C, Saturday night, Robert Hook, white, cut the throat of Policeman Jas. Goss and escaped. Goss died instantly. Gen. Weyler cables to the Span ish government saying he is per fectly confident of being able to pacify Cuba within four months. Secretary Alger proposes to run a locomotive sled on the Yukon river to get supplies to starving treasure-seekers in Alaska this win ter. The corner stone of the Confed erate monument at Lynchburg, Va., will be laid October 22. Sen ator Daniel will deliver an ad dress. The Duchess of Marlborough, formerly Miss Consuelo Vander uilt, gave birth to a son Saturday morning at Spencer House, Ducal, London residence. It is announced that General Calixto Garcia has been appointed commander-in chief of the Cuban army, and that General Maximo Gomez has been made minister of war. Minister Woodford is said to have notified the Spanish govern ment that if the war with Cuba is not ended by the last of October the United States will give inde pendence to Cuba. Ten batteries of horse and field artillery have been ordered from England to India. It is surmised that this large increase in artillery for India means trouble with Afghanistan and perhaps Russia. The corner stone of a Confeder ate monument in the North Caro Una lot in Stonewall cemetery, Winchester, Va., was laid Friday with interesting ceremonies. Rev. Dr. Jas. B. Avirett delivered an ad dress. Hon. Win, J. Bryan, in an inter view, says that persons who sug gest the burning of property or the destruction of life as a means of settling labor disputes, do not understand the genius of American institutions. A curled walnut tree has recently been sold standing in Letcher county, Ky., for $400. It will cost $1,000 to cut it into slabs to carry to the nearest railroad point, and the buyers expect to make $15,000 worth of furniture out of it. President McKinley has been petitioned to set aside the order of President Cleveland extending the operation of the civil service law to the government printing office. He has referred the matter to the Attorney General for advisement. It has been decided to send a detachment of United States troops to St. Michael's, Alaska, to preserve order. Lieutenant Colo nel Randall, of the Eighth Infan try, will be in command. The sol diers will start from Seattle within a week. A disastrous wreck occurred on the Wisconsin Central Railroad, six miles west of Chippewa Falls, Wis., at 4 o'clock Friday morning, resulting in the death of five peo ple, and the injury of several oth ers. Two freight trains, through a mistake in orders, while going at 40 miles an hour, met on a curve and collided with terrible force. WAR. ANECDOTES. Taken from Southern Papers of the Long Ago.

"Theu so can I," returned Jack sou. The interview terminated in a kindly adieu. Was Benefited by Nature's Greatest Remedy, Paine's Celery Compound. So many testimonials are com iug iu from every part of the coun try to the proprietors of that great est of all kuowu remedies, which stands so pre eminently above all others iu its wonderful curative powers, that it generally has been thought best to select almost at random a small percentage of them for publication. The accompanying letter from the wife of the great Missouri Senator, however, is one of agieat many that have come first and last from families of national reputa tion. The health of the wealthiest and most highly cultivated is of course no more dear to them and their relatives thau is that of the hum bler persous who depend upon their daily toil for their week to week living. But the first class of people certainly have at their com- U. S. SENATOR VEST. mand every facility that mouey aud good Judgment can secure to benefit them when their health is threatened.

Bryan, in a letter pub lished in the Mail and Express to day, refers as follows to a recent editorial in that paper regarding Mr. Bryan's work in the Kansas railroad disaster: "I beg to thank you for your generous words, but am afraid your praise outruns the merit of my work on that occasion. I did no more than the others who es caped uninjured, and none of us did more than could have been ex pected from any person under like circumstances. Some of the wounded ones were suffering in tensely, and no one could have re fused any assistance which could possibly be rendered. It is often the lot of public men to be criti cised when they do not deserve it, and I suppose the unmerited com mendation which they sometimes receive is necessary to form a just average. However, I appreciate the charity. which you, as a politi cal opponent, have shown. "Very truly yours, "Wm. J. Bryan. "Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 13, 1897."

Arroyo, the man who caused excitemeut in the City of Mexico Thursday by a supposed hostile demonstration against President Diaz, during the Independence Day parade, was stabbed to death a few hours afterward by a mob which broke into his place of con finement and butchered him in short order. There was no reason why justice should have been anticipated by lynch law, but reason is the last thing which ap peals to mobs. Mexican mobs are probably qnite as unreasonable and reckless as those In this country, and Arroyo's self consti tuted executioners did not stop to debate the question of his guilt or innocence, or the effect of their outbreak upon law aud order. It would be a satisfaction if we could lecture our Mexican neighbors on the wickedness ami tolly of such acts, but unforluuately we are uot iu a position to cast stones of ad monition or repioach at anjbody on this subject.
