; A special from MinneapQlis says :
.Griffich, Marshall & Co., grain brokers,
have suspended, owing to their; close
business relations with the Kershaw,
firm at Chicago. The facts in re
gard to the deposit qf money for Ker
shaw yesterday, at the Ameri
can Exchange bank, cn which he
founded his promise to pay in full, are
made public in a semi-official way. It
seems that Wiltshire did deposit
600,000 to the credit of Kershaw &
Co. yesterday mornihg. When C. J.
Kershaw left there at 8 o'clock, after
an hour's conversation with Wiltshire,
President Irwin, Cashier Hoyt of the
bank and Messrs.; lewar, Eggleston
andseveral of the directors of the bank.
There was nearly $800,000 on deposit
subject, as he supposed, to his check.
He hurried down tp the," office of Ar
mour & Co. and there told-P.D. Ar
mour of his position and his ability
to stand up to everything. It was
not until 10.45 o'clock, When he went
into Armour's office1 again, that he
was told that his .checks were being
thrown out by the American Exchange
Bank. The trouble was; that immedi
ately af ter Kershaw left the American
Exchance banklan4l Hn Wiltshire
produced six .hundred thouuea
dollars to go as he' supposed
to the credit of Kershaw, Irwin,
Green & Co. demanded half Of it.
President Irwin is the senior partner
in this house and had this advantage,
that he could credit the money as he
was disposed to. A : !
When Kershaw's .check for $200,
000 from the clearing-house went
down for certification, it. was thrown
out. Some big checks had, however,
gone through all light before. Among
them were checks Schwartze,Dupree
& Co., T. B. Wear & Co., and a few
others, aggregating, perhaps, $150,
tK)0, so that Kershaw's promises were
made in good faith. Ii it had not
happened that the president of the
bank was also an4 applicant for; more
margins Kershaw's checks would have
been certified. ; A .
The clerk's offices in the court house
had hardly openjBd,r today before at
torneys for the suffering board of
trade speculators began crowding in
with affidavits from attachments on
which to have' service of garnishees
secured. Among the first to appear
was attorney Riddle, whose cases
reads, Joseph W. Wiltshire & How
ard Rekart, doing business as Wilt
shire, Rekart & Co., against Maurice
partment' directing letters to be' ad
dressed to the ; Governors of all the
states offering to return, if desired,
to the; loyal states of the Union the
flags captured during the war of the
rebellion by the Confederate forces
and afterwards recovered by govern
ment troops, and to the Confederate
states the flags captured by Union
forces: all of which for many years
have been packed hi boxes and stored
in the cellar and attic of the war de
partment. I am of the opinion that
the return of the flags in the manner
thus contemplated is not authorized
by the existing law nor justified ; as
an executive act. I request theref ore
that nd further' steps be taken in the
matter except to examine and inven
tory these flags and adopt proper
measures for their preservation. Any
direction as to; the final disposition of
them should originate with Congress.
Yours truly,
Gboveb Cleveland.
, At the request pf Gov. Foraker of
Ohio, that a counsel should be retain
ed to institute legal proceedings to
enjoin the return of the Confederate
flags to the Governors of the South
ern states, Gen. H. V. Boynton today
selected Samuel Shellabarger, of Ohio,
and Geo. S. Boutwell, of Massachu
setts to take charge iof the case.
These gentlemen expected to have an
application for mandamus filed in the
Supreme Court of the District at 1
o clock this afternoon, out were de
layed by the non-receipt of the neces
sary telegram from Ohio. The papers
were based upon a claim that the Sec
retary of War was about to dispose
of public property without the au
thority of law. The letter of j the
President made further action by the
attorney unnecessary.!

that in the majority of cases the em

and that in one or two instances the
books will actually showjprofitSi In
addition to tnose whose failure, was
brought about by either pf the causes
given, there are some wh wer in the
deal on their own responsibility, and
simply got caught where they could
nqt help themselves. The following
is the notice in Kershaw's window.
It is in Mr. C. J. Kershaw's hand
writing : "Nothing can be decided
until 11 o'clock. We are promised
by that, time positive knowledge
whether remittances are on the way,
which we are led to believe will
come.
! 10 a. m. The exciting scenes of
yesterday and the day before were
not witnessed at the opening of the
Board of Trade this morning.; The
few people who had gathered in the
galleries before the opening tired of
the calm which prevailed and de
parted. It (was given out that Ker
shaw would announce at lit o'clock
whether he would be able to meet the
claims against him or ; not. It
is -generally conceded that- every
thing depends upon -Kershaw's
action. Some members are of the

ineht is already proving satisfactory. J opinion that he will pull through all
He savs that the Russian crovern- right, but the majority are very doubt
ment will not allow foreign competi
tion, an American company having!
been refused permission to engage in
a similar enterprise. ; He also learns
that Russian petroleum is being sup-
in large quantities to a ersia
ful on the subject. Scarcely any
trading is being done and prices are
barely fluctuating at slight fractions.
There are rumors of impending fail
ures, but everything awaits tho an
nouncement to b,e made by Kershaw
to put up margins. They further
claim that funds furnished; the firm
were not used according to instruc
tions, and thai if they had been so
used the firm heed not have failed and
the market would not have been de
pressed. It is also claimed that the
defendants ow Kershaw & Co., $75,

all the money- advanced as margins.

piece of preferred paper during the
panic which ha8 yet appeared in court.
Rosenfeld yesterday began suit
against Wiltshire, Rekart & Co. for
$1,000,000 margins claimed to be in

had begun suit against Kershaw is a
mistake, and he has not garnisheed

But however strong are the prompt

merited praise of : eastern Carolina
and of this pleasant seaside fsort, I
forbear to do 'so because a yrelcome
will be extended by a native of east
ern Carolina, a resident of this good

is by no means unknown in pur state.
It affords me very ; great, pleasure to

The speaker fcriefly reviewed the
history and the organization of the
Assembly, sketching its growth and
importance in the state. ' Such! an
eloquent welcome ' and noble tribute
to the teacher has scarcely fbeenl; ex

A Clergyman Kills n Boy In a Fit of
A telegram from Reidsvlle. N. C.
June 13, to northern papers, says 1
The Rev. Gea Pittard is pastor of;
the North Fork church. He is popu-;
lar with a large congregation, and;
teacher in a boy b' school during the
week. As he was crossing the lawn;
a few days ago during recess thebdysi
were playing base ball, and a ball!
thrown by the center fielder struct
Mr. Pittard in the face, bruising him
severely. The boy at once ran for
ward, begged pardon, and said the
occurrence was entirely accidental.
The minister, infuriated by the pain
knocked the ; boy down, stamped on
him, and dragged him about until the
boys united and drove the preacher
away. The lad, who) was in a tern.
ble condition, was tenderly carried to
the dormitory by hii fellow-students.
The minister called to the boys later
and upbraided them; for not dragging
their school-mate from him sooner,
and said he had no idea what he was
doing; that his temper for the time
had crazed him. The. boy has just
died, and Mr. Pittard has fled.

Tke Sensations Of the Dying.
New York Medical Journal ? ;
It is doubtless the case that in' ma
ny instances and perhaps they are
the majority dying persons lapse
gradually .into an! unconsciousness
that ends their bodfly pain, and saves
them from the anguish of . the final
parting with those hey leave behind.
It is not uncommon, however for
clearness of comprehension to persist
to the last, and perhaps it is : still
more common for some of the special
senses to preserve their activity, f We
think it was Ernst- Wagner who, In
his "General Pitholpgy," dwelt partic
ularly on the preservation of the sense
of hearing' in many cases long after
the apparent -occurrence of uncon
ness, and who tenderly cautioned his
readers that this possibility should be
borne in mind. The following touch
ing account of the late Dr. Wilson
Fox's last moments when his friend
Dr. J. Russell Reynolds was at his
bedside, is given in the Lancet obit
uary: "On the next morning
when
obviously and consciously dyings and
after his eyes had been fixed, for
a few minutes on the angle of the
room, and some gray streaks of dawn
were entering it, he said suddenly:
There is a great light, a great glare-f

it, Reynolds?' The reply was: It is

consumptive, at least to try one botttle, .
as 80,000 dozen bottles were sold last
year, and no one cas4 where it failed -was
