This session will always be remembered as one of the niost in teresting -and one of the most pleas ant in the history of the body. There was .the transaction of ,; much - Im portant business, alt of it being car ried through with ' the best of spirit on the part of the representatives. The weather was ideal and the hos pitality and entertainment could hardly have been excelled. ... '. The morning, session was occupied with the .consideration and "adoption of the reports of various committees. Rev.n W; M.

Snedecor. the Assembly's secretary on colored eyan gelizatlon, spoke on that subject, as did Rev. 3. 8. Morrow, a colored man. who is a member of Synod. The re port of the regents of tho orphans' home was taken from the docket and was adopted after striking out the item recommending the acceptance of the . resignation - of Superintendent Boyd. Moderator Richards ruled that it was not constitutional for Synod toact In. this matter. Rev. J. B. Shearer spoke In th In terest Of Davidson College and rec ommended "most' highly the- address of President Smith : delivered before the body.

Hank In offered minority report, recommending , that the home mission work be managed through the eight Presbyteries, the PreBbvterlan home mission commit tees to report to Synod on the sow day of September every yoar. synod was much divided between the ma jority and minority reports, and it was thought unwise by some of the representatives to adopt the minority report when so many of the repre sentatives were not present -- After much discussion the motion t ttev. A. R. Shaw to refer the minority re port to an ad interim committee, which should report at , the next meeting of Synod, was adopted. ..The committee's report was then adopted with the amendment that the M.500 home mission debt be apportioned and natd bv the Presbyteries, the - home mission committee to maka the p portlonment. , . . . ,.':,-v ' . , .After passing resolutions of thanks for the entertainment and . courtesy shown Synod in nenaersonv.no nu to The Charlotte Observer ior senum a represents tlve here and publishing hill reports of the meeting.

' ' New Yprk, Oct. 25. Another nerve- racking day has passed but the finan- -clal Institutions of New York have shown extraordinary power of resist ance o the pressure put upon them. While It , is true tha several mlnn Institutions have been forf tn thrir doors, yet two things should, bo wuu.-.'iaDOUl itftem -flrsif . th th amount involved was nn mn rreai m to exert any marked Influence on tha pnerai miuation, aa these (banks were located in residential quarters and rfid " wk wine mw touch with; the larger financial' Institutions tha nutmn. olis, and,second. that there Is every reason to believe that these banks and trust companies are entire aolvent and their difficulties will-prove to bo only temporary and due entirely to In' ability to secure ready cash on the gnt-eogeq securities in their vauKs. . v WITHDRAWAL RULE ENFORCED, t In the 'light of the a-eneral ixrffe- ment the ravings; banks thought, it Wise tO Put Into effect the rule ronnlr. Ing thirty to sixty, days notice for the -withdrawal of deposits, and this will prevent- the withdrawal of money which would otherwise be out In safe ty deposit boxes. - The eavlngs banks, they continued to moke payments, , would bo, obliged to with draw funCa irom one nation! banks, thereby caus , -ing an addHlonal min on Che srenerat - banking Institution. There was not th InailtiitlAtiM awaska- ( ams Vt v..a aw-. fBoundeat condition and it was pointed out tthat the savings banks of this 4 State are so restricted bv tew Win investing th4r money that there can " be no Question that all of the securi- . tlea In . their possession are of good ' value and readily salable In normal times. 4. . v . The' Institutions which-colsed their doors to-day. with the sums due de- -posHons, were: THE BANKS AFFECTED. ' ' , . The United States Exchange Bank, Harlem, f(00,000. International Trust Company,, about $100,000. , . The Borough Bank of Brooklyn, M,- 000.000. , ; The Brooklyn Ban-It. 12,300,000. v Wllllaimsburg Trust . Company, 1 Brooklyn, $7,500,000.

I None of theso companlea had any important business connections with the larger banks -: which ar representatives of the cKy's financial affairs, . . , , - , , . ' ! FAVORABLE FEATURES.';1;';' I On the other" hand a number of fa , vorable features marked the day. Thi : Trust Company of America and the Lincoln Trust Company, the two or- ganlsatlong which have suffered most from runs, have been elowly paying ' out to their depositors and closed to day with alt demands having been . met In the caee of tha Trust Com pany of America the run has well nigh spent its force as the great bulk of -the depositors have been paid off. At the close of businees there were st good many In line at .the Lincoln Trust Company but also there was a marked reduction in the number of anxious depositors. . ' , The most favorable Incident 3f the day iwas that the stock exchange was provided -with funds simple v to meet kts Immediate necessities by a money pool headed by J. Plerpont Morgan, which sent about $15,000,000 to the exchange during the afternoon. 1 As all. of the loans made to-day hold over until Monday, the stock exchange situation fwlH not be a factor in the : problem that the bankers may V bo called upon to solve to-morrow, ' A very encouraging feature of (he after noon's developments was a signed statement by Clark Williams, the new ly appointed State superintendent of banking, affirming the solvency of tha local Institution. ' . v 1 - - CLEARING HOUSE CERTIFICATES. i A further encouraging development ot the afternoon, the. good effect of which can scarcely be overestimated, was the decision arrived at unofflcially to Issue ; clearing hojuse certificates, ' probably to-morrow. There will be full meeting of the clearing house as oclatton ' to-morrow morning ati It o'clock for th purpose of taking offl cla4 lactlon'for the Issuance of these certificates. The. Immediate effect of this will be to enable the banks to sK tl tho balances between - themselves with these certificates and thereby re lease large sums of currency for the regular needs of business. The decision to issue clearing house certificates Is likely to end any fur- , titer anxiety In regard to the supply of currency.. . , ' x ' ' , FIRST IS8UED PI 160. ", - The first Issue of clearing- house certificates was In I860. The last oc casion on whtch they - availed of was In 1891. '. The certificate are used only between banks In the settlement of their baiancea r at v the . clearing house. They do not "appear In gen eral circulation. It is believed by Lcompetent bankers that ;un insue of 150,000,000 win bo, tne outswe limit of what will bo required on the pres ent occasion, v It Is believed also that the mere fact thai they are to . be Issued will so tar -restore confidence that t runs upon banks will cease. ax that it will not be neceesary to keep the . certlflcatea outstanding for any. considerable length, of time." The fact that the banks and the'-, stock exchange will be open for busl nees but two xhours to-morrow and that Sunday with all Its opportunities of calming public sentiment 111 In tervene, added , to the more hopeful view of the equation, taken by the leading financiers to-night will di much toward clearing the . financial skka bere anofher wee-k begins. s. ,-.i.t : , -.!(.'(: ;', ' Threatened With.Tubcivulosla, "Madrid, OeU 25.
