By Teletnpn to tta Kwt and ObMrTer,
Noetolx, Ya., Not. 21 The Home
Savings Bank of this city suspended
this morning. The reason assigned
for the f ailure by the board of direc
tors is thAt reports recently cireu-
Uted affecting its credit produced a
run on the bank. The published
statement giving its condition, Octo
ber 4th, states among the reeouroes,
loans and discounts $276,487, over
drafts $3,172; and among liabilities,
capital stock paid in $50,000, indi
vidual deposits subject to check
$265,689, demand certificates of de
posit $1,115 and bills payable $5,000.
The 'directors stated this morning
that from the cashier's statement
made last night the board of direc
tors hoped the depositors would
little if anything. The Home Savings
Hank was founded upon the rams of
the old Freedmen's Savings Bank
here and had among its depositors a
number of colored, people. Its New
Turk correspondents were the Mer
chants' Exchange National and Con
tinental banks. The failure has caused
no alarm in -banking and business
circles.

The facts about the bloodhounds

alleged marvelous talents of this dog
into an impressive and touching
form, while scarcely any facts about
his real life have found their way into
print. People everywhere have an
idea that this dog has long been in

flourished j before j the war. In the
Northern States it is a common belief
that the race of ''coon-hunting blood
hounds" is still very large in the

matter is that there never were any
very, ana tne very lew bloodhounds
that have found their way into this
country have been imported from
England since the! war. Today there
are not a round dozen of bloodhounds
in America, and the few which are
here never have! followed a track of
any kind, j More) than this, their an
cestors for mAny generations have
not been put to any practical use, so

As criminal executions in New
York will Iteke pIacb After jAnuAry 1
by electricity, tuej Meioo-LegAl So
ciety has determined upon a method
which : will, in all probability, be
adopted by the f authoritie. The
process is j described in the following
report i by j the committee which had
the matter in charge V
"The electric current, in passing
through the body from one pole to
another, undergoes more or less dif
fusion ; through the tissues. A cur
rent passing from the top of the head
io the small of the back will be dif
fused throughout a great part of the
brain and all of the tissues of the
neck. The medulla oblongata a
part of the brain which is most vital
together with all of the great nerves
of the neck and the spinal cord, which
exercise jurisdiction over the move
ments of the lungs and heart will be
thoroughly permeated by the current
applied in this way. As the seat
of consciousness is in the brainr And
fsrticularly in the cortex of the cere
rum, it is clear that this faculty of
the mind will suffer at qnce if the
current be sufficiently strong. The
electric stream flows from the posi
tive to the negative pole, and there
might be some possible advantage in
placing the positive pole on the ver
tex of the head, nearest the centre of
consciousness, although death in any
case will be instantaneous. After
mature deliberation we recom
mend i that t he: death current be
administered to the criminal iu the
following manner:
, "A stout Uble covered with rubber
cloth, and having holes along its
borders for binding for a strong chAir.
should be procured. The prisoner
lying on his back pr sitting should be
firmly bound upon this table or in
the chair. ! One electrode should be
so inserted into the table, or into the
back of the chair, that ii will impinge
upon the ; spine between the sboul
ders. I The head should be secured
by means of a sort of helmet fastened
to the Uble or bAck of ohAir,
And to this helmet the other pole
should be so joined as to press firmly
with its ends upon the top of the
head.! We think a chair is prefer
able to a table. The rheophorea can
be led off the dynamo through the
floor or to another room, and the in
strument for closing the circuit can
be attached to the wall.
"The electrodes should be of metal
not over one inch in diameter, some
what ovodal in shape, and covered
with a thick layer of sponge or cha
mois skin. The poles and the Bkin
and hair at the point of contact
should be thoroughly wet with warm
water. The hair should be cut short
"A dynamo generating an electro
motive force of at least 3,000 volts
should be employed. Either a con
tinuous or AlternAting current may
be used, but preferably the latter.
The current should be allowed to
pass for thirty ; seconds."
It is said how that England gave
the Germans a copy of her new rifle
in return for the recipe for making
melinite.

The New York World of Friday
published a special from Raleigh
giving sketches of the newly elected
Congressmen from North Carolina,
as follows :
"There will be four new members
rom JNorth Carolina in (he next
House of Representatives. Thomas
Q. Skinner, from the first district,
has none of the manners or appear
ance of a Congressman, but is cer-
ainly a man of affairs. He served in
the Forty-seventh and Forty-eighth
Congresses, is a man of the people,
and is extremely popular in his dis
trict. He bad to beat White, the re
publican candidate. Skinner is 46

After the war he practiced
aw. He is witty, And this And his
plain ways make hia people some
times call him the Nat Macon of this
generation. He is an inveterate fish
erman. Once, after some days' spott
at home, he returned to his seat in
Congress and there fell asleep during
the discussion oi an important meas
ure. Suddenly he awoke in the mid
dle of a dream of having hooked a
monster fish, and, jumping up, he
shouted : 'I've got him,' while his
brother members roared with laugh
ter. "Benjamin H. Bunn, who is to rep
resent tne Fourth or Metropolitan
distriot, is also a man of the people
in the broadest sense. He is big And
hearty and an inveterate hand shak
er. He is 44 years old and only had
a preparatory -school education, hav
ing entered the Confederate Army
when only 17. He is now an able
criminal lawyer and a farmer. Bunn
is a master of invective, and this is so
well known thAt his competitor,
Nichols, dared not meet him on the

he was nominated he stepped forward
and said:; 'uentlemen. 111 win.

"The other new republican member
is Hamilton G- Ewart from the ninth
district. He is a tsJl stoat man. Like
Skinner, he cares little for dress,
and looks like a cattle raiser. He is
about forty years old. Two yesrs

was arrested here by order of Secre

concerned in the Blackburn plot to
spread contagion in the North
through infected rags. He was after
wards released, lie was looked upon
as an eccentric man, as he affected
oddities in dress and speech. He was
last here ' about eighteen months

plenty of money, but no one knew

The immigration convention to be
held in Montgomery, Alabama, De
cember 12, promises to be a big af
fair. Over 5,000 invitations have been
issued by the local committee, and
it is announced that Texas alone will
be represented by a delegation of
several hundred, embracing the most
regressive men of the Lpne Star
tate. An effort is being made to
get the Governors of all the South
ern States to attend, ; and some of
them have already accepted the invi
tation to do so. In this connection
it may be mentioned that the immi-
S ration statistics of the port of New
rleans for the month; of October
show the very respectable number! of
1,093 arrivals, more than for oyer
three years past. Theaei immigrants
have been satisfactorily! settled, and
have found work from the .very mo
ment of their arrival. Some have
remained in New Orleans; other! halve
been distributed through the South
and West, or sent even as far awav
