Court decision closing the World s j Other matters of a complicated char Fair on Sunday, and declared today i acter, he said, would undoubtedly through Chief Justice Fuller as their j &row out of the decision. For in pokesiuan. that the Government,; Las j stanc the donation by Congress of no exclusive right, or.AiUhority in the j $'-2,500,000 to the Fail- had been control of the Columbian Exposition. This substantial and decisive victory for the Sunday openers was received by the crowded Court room with loud cheers. ... The scenes ni the Federal Building were a fitting climax' to the dispute between the local directory and the Government of the United States The room was crowded two hours before the announced hour for the decision. It was not until 11 . 15 thai the Chief Justice, followed by Justices Buun and Allen, took seats on the bene!'. As s-oii as the Couit had been for mally opened, the Chief Justice orally announced that in view of the many questions involved the w ltten opinions of himself and associates would ho de ferred, and that owing to the' impor tance of the questions at issue and the necessity for a speedy deliverance from the. bench, a general decision would lie then and there rendered. The Chief Justice then smoothed out several pages of type written man uscript and be;an to read. He first devoted his attention to the contention of counsel for the Government that the Court of Appeals had no jurisdic tion in the premises, and after review, ing the arguments at some length de clared the motion to dismiss the appeal overruled. Coming to the main -question, the Court took the ground that the appro priation of $2,500,000 in souvenir coins by the United States Govern ment could not be construed as a charity, or as a charitable bequest. It was simply an appropriation for the assistance and lenefit of the local cor poration to complete a work that affected the honor of the United States. As to the right of the United States to possesfion and control of the grounds, the Court held that the local corporation was in lawfnl and actual possession, and that this fact had been recognized by acts of the National Leg islature. The Court repudiated the idea that the United States had any exclusive rights or authority in the premises, and that no tenable grounds had been shown for excepting the case under the hearing from the ordinary rules governing a Court of Chancery. . herefore," concluded the Chief Justice, '-the order of the Circuit Court is reversed, and the case is remanded for any further proceedings not incon sistent with this ruling." The deliverance of the Chief Jus tice had been listened to with intense silence, but at its conclusion there went up a great cheer from the crowd in attendance, which caused the Chief Justice to smile meaningly at his asso ciates. The advocates of Sunday clo sing were considerably cast down over the result, but admitted that, inasmuch as the ruling was unanimous, there was no alternative but to bow to the supreme authority of the United States Judiciary. Rev. L. McLean, secretary of the American Sabbath Union, while dis appointed by the decision, was not discouraged as to the ultimate success of attempts to close the Fair on Sun days. This decision, he said, clears the way for the suit begun in the Federal Court here by Wanamaker & Brown ami other stockholders m the Exposition to prevent Sunday open ing. Tl e point has lieen made in the case just concluded that the World's Fair Directors were willing to refund to the Government the money obtained under the souvenir coin act in return for t.he privilege of keeping open on Sunday. Waiumakt rand the World'? Fair stockholders associated with him assert in their bill that such return j Would cause loss and impair their pro perty interests as part owners of the Kxnosition. Washington D C June 17 At- to, nev General Oiney said to day, that J his department had exhausted every legal means to enforce the mamlate of Coioriess It seenml to him that the r SOUTHPORT. N. C. THUESDAY, JUNE end had not teen reached, though he i was not entirely sure, not having care I fully examined the law, tut that an ; appeal should be taken to the Supreme Court. " I This, however, would seem useless, as the Court did not meet until Octo- ber, and before the case could be heard the Fair would be closed by limitation. ; He could not see that any injunctions could be thrown in the way of open ing the Fair on Sunday, but would not predict District Attorney Mil- christ.8 action coupled with the condition that the Fair should not be open on Sunday. The local directory had already re ceived in round figures, $1,900,000. Could not the Government, he asked, now proceed by legal means to collect the money advanced, as the condition upon which it had been received had been forfeited? It was certain, to his mind, that the Government could not now give to the World's Fair author ities the 000,000 still retained in the Treasury j Doiiblle&s he would be confronted with a proposition to take steps to re cover the SI. 900,000 paid out. Per haps the gate money could oe im pounded to reimburse the Govern, ment. Still, he was not entirely clear as to this, and would have to consider the matter more in detail. Another question affected by the decision was the Government exhibit?. All the departments of the Govern ment had exhibits at the Fair, and all the appropriations made Avere coupled with the condition that the exhibits should not lie open on Sunday. It was naturally clear that the Govern ment exhibits could not be open on Sunday, but the conditions imposed might have gone further and -might prevent the Government exhibits from being open- on any 'day, now that it had been decided that it was legal to open the World's Fair on Sunday. lie hardly thought, however, that the law would bear this construction. Chicago, June 18. With the thei mometer at 90 degrees in the shade, it is hardly reasonable to expect a creat crowd of people at the Exposi tion to day. Excepting on the wooded island, the White City was hot, and in some of the glass-roofed buildings especially machinery hall, the heat was felt more than in the open air. The Plaisance is absolutely barren of shade trees, but that part of the park was a favorite resort for thousands of peopie all day. because of the inviting liquid and iced refreshments which could be obtained in the villages and cafes. Even the fine arts building was not crowded as much as usual, and there was plenty of room in the aisles of every building which was open to the public. It was an amusement-loving crowd which blocked the Plaisance and one which usually is bent on worldly en joyment on Sunday, fair or no fair. The uncertainty as to whether the gates would be open to day kept the crowd down, as it gave the people no time to prepare for a visit. The Ad missions were: Adults, 54,582; child ren 3.094; employes, exhibitors, and other free admissions, 16,836. Total 74,512. The great Ferris wheel, the Eiffel tower of the World's Fair, is to be formally opened to the public next Wednesday afternoon. Extensive preparations . are being made for the event.

Excursion trains are to be run from Pittsburg, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Mil waukee, and other large cities.

The failure of the Bank of New ; - - j Hanover at Wilmington, which closed its doors last Monday inor.niuu, cannot be said to have l-eu wjjoMy unex pected, for : .-starting in a quiet way several weeks ago, tins and that ru injr v?t t-esed corner nuiu ij af fairs, until parties ojienly expressed themselves that the bank would not be able to stand any run if its depositors should want their money. Tle effect of these continued reMrts was seen in the at first quiet presenta. tion of the interest iH'aiiii d.-jnjsit certificates of ihe bank, which in creased to such an extent that the bank felt compelled to demand the usual 'thirty days noticed in oid r f to prot'fl Itself. This act, .while Jiel fectiy legitimate, seena-d i iiurnase the fear of holders, as notice.-, .-aid to amount to one hundred uud lifiv thou sand jdollais wen given v L.-Mers who.wanted cash for their certificates. Accord iu: to reports from ofheial authority the bank had pit-pan d j to meet Jhese demands, when late on last Sat unlay a fternoon a small at tachment was issued at New York against certain funds in that citv, te- . ! longing to the bank. 1 ins action was the fatal one that left the laiik open to the suspicion of being' weak, and overthrew evety preparation luakle to meet the calls of its . depositors.'' Only an assignment was lett for the bank and this was made to Mr. Junius i - - j DavisJ and later the same ueiilleiiian was placed in control as receiver. Upon the closing of (he doors of the Bank of New -Hanover an inime diate rush by depositors of the Wil mington Savings and Trust Company was made to save' their mouev, and for several hours an excited crowd be siegetj this bank, but the prompt pay ment pi full of all accounts amounting to ninety dollars or less, and ninet dollars on all accounts above that sum, also the sight of large piles; of money inside, soon allayed all fear and the panic subsided, few demands be ing made after the first day. ? The officers of the Savings Bank give official notice that after June 28th they will pay in full every account pre sen ted. j According to the statement of Presi dent Isaac Bates of the Bank of New Hanover, the assets of the- Bank are $l,30o,000; the liabilities $876,000 and the deposits $686,000. j The feeling in commercial circles in and around Wilmington over the failure is a decidedly gloomy one. The Bank of New Hanover has been prominently identified with the busi ness interests of this section, its offi cers have been men of such reputation that even those that felt uneasy about the bank's ability to meet ail claims against it could not believe but that the directors would, if necessary, as sist the bank. j Since the failure of the First National Bank at Wilmington, nearly two years ago, Southporters have done most of their business at the Bank: of New Hanover. i i - - 'i The county officers too, had their accounts in the same bank. During the past six weeks, however, an un easy feeling had developed here and there have been gradual withdrawals of accounts amounting to ten or Gf. teen thousand dollars at least from the bank, and the thirty day notice only prevented considerably more being withdrawn. Southporters probably lose twenty thousand dollars by the failure, this being almost entirely sav ings, the trade having transferred their accounts or withdrawn them :be fore the failure. Brunswick county's treasurer has fourteen hundred dollars in the bank. '-;.. The failure of the vholesa'.e grocery firm of Adrian & Vr oilers on Tuesday, was the result of tbe failure. "The full j effect of the failure of the Dank ot j New Hanover cannot lie estimated as j yet but it leaves tbe trade in a veiy ; unsettled and crippled condition, and ; this section without sufficient banking i capital; to carry on business j It is , not the time to criticise too j severely, or judge hastily the methods i. i . . s of t he ! officers of the liank or -ew lUnr f iU ,0anS ,nok Un I . , , , , r reasonably Urge for any bank to ,nake B,nisl individuals or firms, 1 but until further examinations are 5 i ma.le and its collaterals investigated ' the public will know nothing definite ly and hal letter accept no idle rumors for facts or 1m jnlluencel by street talk. Some sahs .f lnk de posits have already been made at twenty-Qve cents on the dollar, but such sales are no indication of the bank's condition but snn-p!y outside trades by alarmed holders who are acting upon first impulses.

Attorney General Olney has finally advised the trial of a new case to test the interpretation of the McKinley tariff regarding pearl buttons. The recent decision of the Cjrcuit Court at New York admitted blanks which had not been shanked or drilled at 40 per cut. ad valorem under ihe general provision for manufacturers of mother oT pearl, instead of the much higher rate .imposed upon complete buttons. - i The Attorney General at first advised that this decision le accepted as final in all such cases, but the ; American manufacturers, who are interested in maintaining the highest possible duty, have since submitted new evidence which has changed Mr. OInev's views. He has not advised an appeal to the Supreme Court in the: case already decided, but he "suggested that a new case be taken to the Circuit Court of Appeals giving an opportunity to pre sent new evidence and obtain a differ ent decision. A bill has leen filed in the Supreme Court of the District by Richard R. Beall, B. S. Miner and William A. Wade, on behalf of nearly a Fcore of stockholders in a concern doing busi ness in this city under the title of the Fidelity Building, Loan and Invest ment Association, charging Andrew Wall, late of New York, and now the vice president and general promoter of the association, with swindling them and more than seventeen hun dred other stockholders in the District of Columbia out of sums aggregating half a million dollars. Wall secured a charter at Alexan. dria, Va., under the laws of Virginia, and opened spacious and handsomely equipped offices in this city. At present they occupy the whole second floor of a large building and employ between thirty and forty clerks, tesides an array of agents and canvassers. The plan of the company, as announced in its prospectus, was to issue certificates to shareholders upon which payments of. from 25 cents a wetek upward were to be made, each certificate maturing in 102 months. The company guaran teed that for every $102 paid in $200 would be paid back The expenses of the concern, it was advertised, would lie only nominal, and the profits were to accrue from loans made out of the savings of shareholders, fines and for feitures. - Wall succeeded in inducing several reputable men with but little business experience to join him in the enter prise. These men, it i8cT:aimd in the bill filed to day, have been victimized, along with other stockholders, for they will be liable to the extent of all their property for the fund which Wall is said to I uve earned off with him to Chattanooga, Tenn., where he is said to have gone when he learned i that detectives were at work hunting i up his past record in New York. In the bill filed a hstj is given of sixty cities in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia.
