The attention of those who are suf

Morgan, ehairman of the Senate com

part would result in causing our mer
chant vessels to be subjected to search,
a d that would give a great deal of
anxiety and trouble, and there is no
doubt that eventually such a course
would result in a war between the
I'nited States aud Spain. It may as
wcll be understood that when we re
cognize the belligerency of the Cubans
should draw the sword." Senator
ilorpui thinks that if the United
States wants Cuba it ought to go
aUut getting it in an open and manly

wuiparatively weak power like Spain,
hut by otTering to purchase the island.

We Recognize Pacts and Record Them Accor
dingly, for the Benefit of Our Readers,
Which Thoy Will Also Recognize.
Within the last two weeks the peo
ple of Hickory have witnessed one of
those woeful shipwrecks that strew
the shores of time the spectacle of
parents warring for the possession of
the little child who has become a
source of discord and strife instead of
a bond of sympathy and uniop be
tween them. The readers of the
Prkss and Carolinian have already
learned how Mrs. C. P. Thompson
seized her son Hugh D'Anna in this
city and attempted to carry biin awy
to Washington city, out of the custody
of his father Severio D'Anna, Prof.

of Louisburg to assist in the argu
ment. On Wednesday morning the

evidence on the part of Prof. D'Anna
set up the bad character of Mr. and
Mrs. Thompson and his own good
reputation.
The defendant, on her part, accused
D'Anna of cruelty and defended her
self against hfs charges. It also ap
peared that Hugh had been placed
under the care of Mrs. Alice Murrill in
Hickory, upon the advice of physi
cians that $mce coming here his -condition
has materially improved.

Snug Sums Lying Uncalled for
V in California Banks.
SEARCHING FOR IlfcIRS!
Interesting Facts in Connection With tb Ua
claimed Funds Persona to Whom Thoy
Belong Have Been Lost Sight of.
Interesting discoveries of lost heirs
hare just been made in the unclaimed
bank deposit cases. The Public Ad
ministrator, Attorney Oscar D. Shuck,
and the legal "representatives of the
various San Francisco savings banks,
where $500,000 are unclaimed, have
lately settled with a number of the
heirs of depositors, but there are sev
eral hundred unclaimed deposits still
in the banks, says the San Francisco
Chronicle.
One of the most remarkable of the
long list of abandoned deposits is that
of Jeremiah Pendeigast, to whose
credit there are $12,000 at the Hiber
nia Bank! His heirs are in Ireland.
Very little is known of Pendergast,
save that he was never a resident of
San Francisco, though he was there
for a short time about 1SG8, and prob
ably as late as 18T6. These facts are
known because the Empire Hotel,
which he gave as his residence, was
opened in 186S and closed in 187C.
For many years there has been a
search for Pendergast or his heirs, aud
Attorney Shuck has just located the
heirs in Ireland, and has learned that
the depositor was burned to death in
his mining cabin more than twenty
years ago. Pendergast was unmarried
and lived in an isolated cabin, where
he was burned to death in a fire which
enveloped his' home while he was
asleep.
In the remarkable case of Henry C.
Benn, who left $2,400in the Hibernia
Bank many years go, there is no clue
whatever. It is known that he once
lived at the corner of Kearney and
Jackson streets, but further than this
there have been no tidings. The mon
ey awaits the coming of the owner.
At the same bank there is a deposit
of $1,600 in the name of William E.
Crosten, who was a sailmaker in San
Francisco in 18C8. Shortly thereafter
he quietly left the city, and has never
been heard from, though there are
several persons there who know him
well and worked with him at Craw
ford's sail loft. If the depositor, who
was born in Norway, is still 'living, he
is seventy two years of age. A smrch
for his heirs has been in progress for
years. f
A similar case is that of Charles N.
Miles, supposed to have been a sea

' never been heard from since, aud
I alxxit the same tiire P. D. ilolloy left
$1,200 at the same hank in the tame
manner, refusing to give any particu
I lars about his residence.
Thomas Stand on, of 424
street, but whose name doei

etr in any of the old directories, left
$t.000 at the Hibernia and hns nver

Cuy. who wuK a carjenter for the
Southern Pacific. aUo left $l,OfJ at
the same bank and disappeared in an
equally interiou manner.
The following arv the names of the
depositors whose whereabouts are un
known: -
Hugh Green, $1,350, Hibernia; Wil
liam Faughney, $1,200, Hibernia
Ann Holfuan, $3,000 in Hibernia
Bank; "he worked at tle Brooklyn
Hotel in the early seventies, but no
one remembers her, not even John
Kelly, Jr., who then, and for twenty
years or more, kept that hotel.
TJchard Corbett, $4,400 in Hiber
nia Bank; registered at the batik as
residing at Idaho City, Idaho, but no
one remembers him there or anywhere
else, .
The same is to lx said of Benjamin
Mann, $1,400 in the Hibernia Bank,
A who was abo living In Idaho, but de-

cllned tobe more specific as to his
residence
Michael Murphy, $1,800 in the Hi
bernia Bank, was living at Dutch
Flat, Placer county, when he opened
his account, about twenty years ago.
Friends of his in that county recollect
him well, but all efforts to trace him
have failed. A woman in Michigan has
employed attorneys there, and claims
to be the missing man's sister, but she
has been several months trying to an
swer simple questions in proof of her
relationship. The attorney has found
in an old record that at Iowa Hill,
which is near Dutch Flat, one Mich
ael Murphy lived in early days, and a
son was born to him there as far back
asl8C2. This lead is being followed
up.
Patrick Connelly, $1,200 in Hiber
nia Bank, lived at Empire City, Ney.,
and Michael Roach, $3,000 in said
bank,, at Stewart's Hotel, Oakland
Cal. Nothing has been learned con-
cerning either.
John Johnson, $1,400 in Hibernia
Bank, lived at 140 Folsom street, and
was probably a seaman.
John Taylor has $2,000 to his credit
in this bank. He died at sea in 1872,
and was a sailor. He stopped at the
Union House about 1870.
The following account is in the old
Clay-street Bank, now at Montgom
ery and Sutter streets:
John Buckley, $1,500. Had a com
mon name, but thus far not a single
person has claimed his money as heir.
He is as much forgotten as Jeremiah
Pendergast.
