TH: WALL STREET CRASH AS VIEWED BY A
CEORGIA BANKER.
Hearing that General A. Austell, President of the
Atlanta National Bank, had returned from New York,
a Herald reporter, in obedience to orders, called on
him last night to interview him regarding the late
failures in New York. After exchanging courtesies,
the reporter opened in the following manner :
Reporter—The information we deeiro is tho cause
if you can give it, of the failures of the New York
bankers?
Geueial Austell—The failures were principally con
fined to the railroad contractors. The primary cause,
as given by New York hankers, was that these gentle
men weie pressed for money by their contracts, and
failing to find a market for their bonds were lorced to
suspend.
Reporter—Why was it they could not sell their
boudfc? Why was this stringency in the money
market?
General Austell—The Bears had the Bulls whipped.
They had full control of the currency and kept it.

forty million dollars in bonds. Fisk k Hatch had
agreed to build the Chesapeake acd Ohio Railroad for
a large amouut, also payable in bonds, the Bears
controlling tho money. Cooke Co. could net
find a market for his bonds. Cooke ex
pected Congress to endorse the bonds, so that
they might ho enabled to run a second Credit Mobil-
let—failing in this, and net finding a ready sale for
their bonds, they were forced to suspend. The same,
I apprehend is the cause of Fisk A Hatch’s failure.
Reporter—How do you exp’ain the suspension of so
mauy other firm-,
General A—These were mostly minor firms. Their
{ failures resulted from the purchase of bonds, which
, declined in value with such rapidity, that they were
, unable to make good their margins. They thus had
j their securities forced to sale at a ruinous stage
■ of the game, and were forced to give up.

I Gen. Austell—Yes, sir; in three or four day9 after-
i wards the decline in boads aud securities was csti-

Reporter—What waB the cause of the run on the
' Fourih National Bmk, or were rumors regarding the
; suspension of that bank gioundless?
Gen. Austell—Mr. George Opdyke, one of the
Board of Directors of the Fourth Na
tional Bank, is a large dealer in railroad bonds and
securities, and as Boon ss rumors of his failure were
afloat, a run was made on the Fourth National. The
Bank paid all its checks promptly, and kept the doors
open an hour later tban usual for the purpose of sat
iating depositors of their solvency. In my judg
ment there is not a Bank in the city cf New York in a

To Editors of the Herald:

A Useful Motor.—A small motor, suitable
for sewing machines and the like, has been
constructed by a German inventor. It is a
steam engine which has neither cylinder nor
piston, nor guide bars, crank, nor valves,
but only a boiler, which is at the same time
the moving part. The machine works always
with one and the Rarne quantity of water.
The steam passes through a cycle something
like that which in seen in nature—the sun
evaporates tho water on tbe earth’s surface, in
the upper strata this again becomes liauid,
and returning to tho earth, does a large
amount of mechanical labor. The machine
is 0.1 horse power, needs but little attention,
and is quite safe, tbe tension of the steam be
ing quite low. If heated by gas, it con
sumes 2.5 cubic meters per hour. The cyl
inder-shaped boiler is expanded conically at
the upper pait It stands at an angle of
forty-five degrees, and turns on supports,
while a bevelled wheel arbor changes the mo
tion into horizontal or vertical, and tbo ac
tion is highly effective.
