Boston, Nov. 3. A member of theconv mittee of the associated bunks expresses the opinion that ttie depositors of the Maverick National bank, which tailed Monday, will ultimately receive a divi dend amounting to about seventy cents on the dollar. The insolvency of Presl dent Patton and Director French, in view of the disclosures connected with their arrest, makes it doubllul il the 100 rper cent, assessment to lie levied on the stockholders will yield anything as to the 230 shares held by those cetlemen. This view ol the situation correspond with that held by others who are posted in the matter. Some idea of the extent of the failure can he gleaned Ironi the fact thut ten days ago t be deposit sin the bank amount ed to more than lo,ooo,oou, the ban depositors numbering more that 300 und individual depositors about 1,300 The most sensational feature of the luilure is the announcement that as far back as lunuui v lust Bank Examine Mngrudcr reported to Mr. Lacey, comp troller ot the currency, mat tne nan was in a bad condition! again inSeutein ber Mr. Magrudcr reported to the comp troller of currency that the bank wa rotten.

The gentleman of the picture may be heurd of again any time in connection t with the trouble with Chili. Men of his ship, the Baltimore, were the Anierhran seamen assailed in the streets of Valpar aiso, and the report written by him is the document on which is based the de mands made by the Unite, I Slates gov ernment against that of Chili. The lat est from the Captain, who has become a prominent man so unexpectedly, is that he has applied to the Inlenilentc of Val paraiso to protect the officers n'ld men of his ship who go ashore on necessary business. An evasive answer having been given by the Chilian official, Capt. Schley is re ported to be taking such measures as will enforce the proper treatment of offi cers and men of the Baltimore who may be sent to Valparaiso on busiiuss which must be done. The Captain is a prudent man, and will avoid giving occasion ol nh"cme to the Chilians, lint purchases must be made lor the uc of the ship and and communication maintained lietccii him and Minister l;gnu.

A NEW COLORED CHURCH IT IS OROANIZKU VII.I.K. IN ASIIIi- The Oritaiilxullon Takes) Place In the Old Catholic Church, And the New Church Starts) out With Twenty Members-Two Elders) Initialled. Kev. R. N. Payne, of Atlanta, field sec retary of the Ficednian's board of the Northern Presbyterian church, requests the publication of the following in The Citizen "If the colored people of Asheville do not attend church it will not be because there is no place to welcome them. "The Northern Presbyterian church has been working in thesouthfor twenty six years establishing churches and schools among the colored people. A large part of its work has been in the Cnrolinas. Biildle university at Char lotte, ond Scotia Seminary at Concord, arc among its famous schools. We have scores of schools mid hundreds of churches scattered through the south. Many members ol these churches have come to Asheville, nitracted by the opportunities for employment afforded here. Thcv have done well otherwise, but have greatly missed their own church. "The board of missions for frcedmen, whose office is at Pittsburgh, Pa., has been endeavoring for two years to sup ply this want, and in September, 1890, commissioned a man to open the mission in Asheville. Sickness in Ins family pre vented his entering on the work, Alter waiting on him tor more than six months, the board last spring, sent Mr. Jones, a student, to spend the summer here. When he returned to his studies in Sept., Kcv. C. B. Diisenbcry was commis sioned to take permanent charge ol the work. He is a man ol thought, educa tion and ol line Christian character. He lias been here less than two months, but in that time has won the confidence ol all who have met him, both white and colored. He secured the old Catholic church as a place of worship, and has preached there every Sabbath since. As a result a colored I'resbytcriaiichurcli was organized there Sunday night under most lavoralile auspices. "A committee of presbytery was pres ent with authority to organize the church, and the field secretary of the Fieedincn's board, Kev. Dr. Pavnc, came from Atlanta to assist. In the morning addresses were made to the Sunday school. In the nflcrnnon Kev. W. II. Franklin, of Tennessee, preached, and at night, alter an address bv the field secretary, the organization was effected by the committee. Twenty members were received, aM but three by letter from churches of the same denomi nation in North and South Carolina and in Virginia. Two elders were installed. So tb. prayers of many of God's humble children were answered, anil another ac tive iiitliiencc wasadded to those already at work to redeem the world to God. "It is in no narrow, sectarian spirit that this mission is begun, still less with a purpose to embarrass any other legit imate christian work, but with a simple desire to do good, and in answer to the oft ieicatcd request of the colored peo ple themselves. "I liespcak for this little flock the prayerful sympathy and aid of all chris tian people in Asheville." There will be a "Citizen" out bright anil e irh tomorrow morning with all the election news. Hold your breath till then. AFFAIRS OF CONM(JUESCB. FOREIGN. It is stated in Berlin that 330,000 Ger man colonists, in the famine stricken districts ol the Volga, in Russia, arc per ishing unaided.
