VERY FOOLISH DEPOSITORS.
WILD ABOUT THEIR DEPOSITS IN A SOL
VENT BANK.
New York, November 21.—The run on
the Citizens’ Savings Rank, southwest cor
ner of Rowery and Canal streets, started
Wednesday and continued in full force to
day. President Edward A. Quintard and
other members of the committee on
finance of the institution held a meeting at
the bank this morning. There had been
some talk among the panic-stricken de
positors that the officers of the bank might
avail themselves of a rule which reads:
‘‘No person shall have a right to withdraw
any part of the araouut that may be to his
credit unless he has ninety days previously
giveu personal notice to the bank of the
amount he wishes to withdraw.” To do
away with any impression of this sort, the
finance committee held a session at the
call of President Quintard and decided,
by a unanimous vote, to pay out to deposi
tors their money just as fast as they could.
The doors of the bank were thrown open
at 9:45 o’c’ock, and all that time the line
of anxious depositors reached several
squares.
A SWEEPING CONTEST.
TO CHALLENGE THE ELECTION OF A STATE
TICKET.
Chicago, November21.—A special from
Lincoln, Neb., says that papers have been
prepared for a contest by the Independents
of the legality of the election of the entire
State government, all of whom are Repub
lican except Governor Royd. About every
form of corruption ever practiced in elec
tions is charged against both political par
ties—conspiracy to deprive legal voters of
their rights, illegal voting, fraudulent nat
uralization, bribery, etc. The contest will
be tried by the Legislature, and the Speaker
will preside.
GOVERNMENT VETERINARY INSPECTORS.
Washington, November 21.—Acting
Secretary Nettleton has informed the cus
toms officers at New York, Roston, Phila
delphia, Raltimore, Portsmouth, Norfolk
and Newport News of the appointment of
veterinary inspectors at those ports by the
Secretary of Agriculture, and has instruct
ed them hereafter to refuse clearance to
vessels carrying cattle or sheep until they
shall have received notice from the said
veterinary inspectors to the effect that the
cattle and sheep in question have been
duly inspected in accordance with the
regulations of the Agricultural Depart
ment.
The following is a partial list of the vet-
rinary inspectors: At Boston, Dr. A. B.
Rose: New York, Dr. C. B. Michener;
Norfolk, Baltimore and Newport News,
Dr. G. C. Faville.
SUGARS AND MOLASSES MUST PAY.
Washington, November 21.—The Col
lector of Customs at New Berne, N. C.,
has been informed that imported sugars
not above No. 16 Dutch standard, and
molasses cannot be withdrawn for con
sumption before April 1,1891, without the
duties imposed by the tariff act of March
8, 1883, being paid.
THE HONDURAS REVOLT.
THE GOVERNMENT SAVED BY THE VALOR
OF AMERICANS.
New Orleans, November 21.—The
steamer City of Dallas, of the Morgan line,
has arrived from Port Cortez bringing the
latest intelligence of the revolt in Spanish
Honduras. Her Captain, Chas. F. Hardie,
says: “I understand that though the
army of Bogran was victorious, the victory
was due to the valor of the Americans who
numbered about fifty miners, under Major
E. A. Burke, of New Orleans, and James
Imboden. All arrived in port on the 11th
inst. and left on the 15th. About an hour
before we left a telegram was received by
Gen. Kraft from President Bogran, pro
claiming peace and acknowledging the
gratitude of the nation to the Americans
for turning the tide in their favor. Gen.
Sanchez was not captured and executed as
reported. He died game. His son was
captured and is reported to have been exe
cuted. Sanchez was the last man whom
Bogran thought would turn traitor to him,
as he was his confidential advisor and close
friend.”
BASE BALL TALK.
EFFORTS TO PUT THE GAME ON ITS
LEGS.
Columbus, O., November 21.—A. G.
Spalding, who has been in consultation
with Allen W. Thurman, who, with the
Chicago magnate, is a member of the con
ference committee selected to* carry out a
deal between the Players’ and National
Leagues, says the former is dead. Spald
ing said arrangements have been made to
close out every Players’ club, with the pos
sible exception of Boston and Philadel
phia, and that the details for the transfer
of the Chicago Players’ team will be ar
ranged as soon as he reached home.
DISSATISFIED MINERS
DEMAND BETTER WAGES AND GO OUT OF
EMPLOYMENT.
Brazil, Ind., November 21.—The de
mand made by the drivers and day men
in the Block mines for an increase of
wages to $2 per day has been refused, and
the men have struck. The operators
claim that to grant the advance would be
to disturb the market, being in violation
of the yearly agreement. About 2,000
miners are thrown out of employment, and
the situation is becoming serious.
the bank doors reopened.
Philadelphia, November 21.—The
doors of the Barker Bros. 4 Co.’s banking
house were opened again this morning,
and the affairs in and about the bank re
sumed something of their wonted appear
ance, although, of course, no banking busi
ness is being transacted.
A GUBERNATORIAL CONTESTED ELECTION.
Omaha, Neb., November 21.—Gov
ernor-elect Boyd this morning received
official notice that his election will be con
tested.
Atlanta, November 21.—[Special.]—
Little of interest was done in the Legisla
ture today. The Senate broke its record
by remaining in session for two hours
and then adjourned until Monday. Its
time was taken up in the third reading of
House bills a third time; only one new
bill, and that making minor amendments
to the consolidated common school act of
1887, was introduced.
SENSATION IN THE SENATE.
A laughable little incident disturbed the
gravity of that body this morning. It was
during the reading of a bill. A page was
sitting upon one of the press tables playing
with a toy pistol. Suddenly there was a
sharp report—the reading of the bill stop
ped short, half a dozen Senators sprang to
their feet, and the page and his toy pistol
were the most prominent figures in the
room. The little fellow’s face was pale as
death and the big tears rolled down his
cheeks, his frightened face expressing the
keenest appreciation of his perilous posi
tion. If ever a page was frightened in this
world, he was. The toy pistol was as big
as a church steeple!
As everybody understood the situation
at a glance, a spontaneous roar of laughter
followed. The breach of decorum was
forgiven.
The reading of the bill continued, but it
was several seconds before the usual dig
nity of that honorable body was entirely
recovered.
IN THE HOUSE.
In the House a bill of general interest
was introduced by Dr. Baldwin, of Ran
dolph. It is intended to exclude drunken
physicians from practice. Its title ex
plains, “to prohibit physicians and pre
scription clerks in a drag establishment
from pursuing their profession or calling
who may become intoxicated from the use
of intoxicating liquors or opiates, and to
provide a penalty therefor.” A first con
viction of drunkenness is punished with a
fine only; the second conviction revokes
the license.
Rather a queer thing is the way this
Legislature “jumps o»” the running of
excursion trains on Sunday. The matter
never attracted any special attention be
fore, but three bills on the subject had
already been introduced this session; and
yesterday there was another—this time by
Edenfield, of Screven.
Huff, of Bibb, introduced a bill incorpo
rating the Macon and Indian Springs
Railway Company. This, with numerous
other improvements in contemplation or
actual progress, will greatly enhance the
value of the State’s property at the
Springs. Time was when this was the
most famous resort in the South—the
Saratoga of “the old regime,” and it is
rapidly regaining its old time popularity.
The committee called for under the
House resolution by Gilbert, of Muscogee,
to devise a general method for granting
charters, was appointed today—Gilbert,
Flemming, and Atkinson of Coweta from
the House; Johnson and Glenn from the
Senate.
Holtzclaw, of Houston, introduced a
general law, revising the law now govern
ing the militia forces of the State.
OFF FOR AUGUSTA.
Gov. Gordon left today for Augusta, to
be present and speak at the demonstration
there tonight in his honor.
MUNICIPAL MATTERS.
The primary election was held today for
Mayor, Aldermen and Councilmen.
There were three candidates for Mayor.
Hon. W. A. Hemphill, the business
manager of the Constitution.
Anton Kontz, an Alderman, “born
here.”
Walter R. Brown, a popular young law
yer, who ran against Tom Glenn and was
beaten two years ago.
Mr. Hemphill's election was regarded
by his friends as a foregone conclusion. It
was a hard matter to get money pat ap
against him this morning, and this after
noon his election is generally conceded,
some even betting that he will get as many
votes as the other two combined.
There are two distinct tickets for Aider-
men, Frank P. Rice and A. J. Shropshire
on one, and ex-Mayor Tyler Cooper and
P. J. Moran on the other.
There are six Cooncilmen to be elected,
and three times six candidates.
White Republicans, as well as white
Democrats, are voting.

was found in the store of A. Steiner. The
fire was reached and pnt oat before much

REVIEW OF THE GRAIN AND PROVISION
MARKETS.
Chicago, November 21.—The specula
tive markets were all active today, and the
closing prices were at or about the highest
of the day. May wheat opened excited
and irregular, with sales at once from 96}
to 97£c. The price fluctuated considerably,
but with a constant upward tendency, and
abont half an hour from the close the
price had advanced to 99}c. During the
greater part of the session, December fol
lowed May at a discount of 7c, but the
trading has now centered in a more re
mote delivery. There was no abatement
of the strength of the market. Some sales
of December were made in the last few
minutes at 93c, and of May at 100.
The opening price of com was very
much mixed. There were sellers at 51c,
with no buyers in the neighborhood of such
offere; and while buyers and sellers were
trading at 51}e across the pit, at the same
moment there was a sale or two at 5 lie,
but the great bulk of business at the
opening was at 51 }c. It immediately ad
vanced to 52c, and during the first half
hour moved up and down several times
between 51} and 52c. The market
strengthened in sympathy with wheat, and
under the action of shorts, who came in
very freely, more especially toward the
close. The highest figures of the day
were made close to the end of the session
,2} and 52Jc. The closing prices shows
an advance of lc since yesterday.
Oats were strong and higher. Opening
sales were at } to }e decline. Prices soon
began to move up and advanced 1} to l}e,
yielded a little, but closed strong at full
outside figures and at an advance of i to
lc over yesterday.
Pork—Quite a good trade was reported
and prices ruled irregular. The opening
■ales were meagre at 24 to 5c decline, but
prices gradually advanced 30 to 35c.
Later, a draping feeling set in accom
panied with a reduction of 15 to 20c, but
rallied again and closed firm.
Lard—Considerable interest was mani
fested and a larger business transacted.
Early in the day the feeling was stronger
and prices advanced to outside figures and
closed steady.
Short rib sides—The trading was active
and prices fluctuated considerably. Early
in the session the feeling was stronger,
and prices gradually advanced 10 to 12}c.
After this, prices settled back again 7} to
to 10c, with fair trading. Toward the
close the feeling was firmer, and the mar
ket closed at about outside figures.
AN APPEAL FOR HELP.
A CIRCULAR ISSUED BY THE IRISH PAR
LIAMENTARY DELEGATES.
New York, November 21.—The mem
bers of the Irish parliamentary delegation
have seat ont this circular: The Irish
people are now face to face with a deter
mined and powerful attempt, organized
by Balfour and a number of tory and
liberal Unionists, capitalists in England
and landlord syndicates in Ireland, to
starve out Irish organizations and evicted
tenants by simultaneously increasing the
vigor of coercion and the number of evic
tions. So resolute and merciless i» this
combination that, at the very moment,
when, according to the government
itself, large portions of Ire
land are menaced with severe
distress, wholesale evictions are being car
ried out. The chief purpose of the mis
sion of the Irish delegates to America is to
counteract this last desperate assault by an
appeal to the generosity of the American
people for moral and financial support.
The amount of sympathy and interest
already manifested in their mission has
exceeded their most sanguine expectations.
They now find it will be impossible for
them to visit all the towns from which in
vitations are being received. It is, there
fore, suggested that in all such towns sub
scriptions should be started.
The urgency and gravity of the crisis
in Ireland will, it is hoped, be allowed to
justify the delegates in earnestly request
ing that every energy be put forth to make
the subscriptions commensurate with the
vast demands on the resources of the
National party. All subscriptions collected
should be forwarded to Dr. J. E. Kenny,
M. P., and Alford Webb, M. P.,

SENATORIAL GOSSIP.
Montgomery, Ala., November 21.—
[Special.]—Tin 1 adjournment of the cau
cus last night cam ,t an early hour, and
was a surprise ■ ail who expected to
watch the balloting patiently until 10
’clock. The disappointment to the gal
leries was more keen than to members of
the caucus. The occupants of the galleries
had attended to wacu the struggle, and
perhaps many of them will not be
able to attend again, so they felt that
the motion to adjourn rang the curtain
down on the play with the performance
only half over. The political leaders were
not very much affected by the adjourn
ment. The side from which the motion
came probably claim it as a victory, but
on the other hand, the leaders of the other
sides claimed that the adjournment meant
nothing to them, and every one went to
work with a vim to hold all he had, and
the Exchange Hotel lobby was crowded for
hours after the adjournment, with political
workers representing all candidates putt
ing in their very best licks.
* * * »
The fact that Congressman Clarke re
ceived some votes on the third ballot last
night was a surprise to many, but that was
on the program for the night before,though
itfatted to develop. The original intention
was that one vote should be cast for Mr.
Clarke, and on the next succeeding ballot it
was proposed to give him a good vote—
probably the bulk of the vote of one Con-
ressional district. The moment did not
arrive in the session of Wednesday night,
and last night on the third ballot all were
more or less surprised by the tellers calling
out one vote for Mr. Clarke. There was
-some informality in the ballot and a mo
tion was adopted to retake it, and on the
rebailot Clarke had to his credit five votes
instead of one.
* * * *
The next ballot which was the last,
showed that the dark horse idea had taken
hold, and votes were announced for Gen.
Joseph Wheeler and Speaker Clements, in
addition to an increase of one in the vote
for Mr. Clarke. The dark horse idea is
not very deep-rooted—but some now begin
to believe that it is the only theory of a
solution of this vexed problem, which is
puzzling the assembled law-makers of
Alabama.

A gentleman opposed to the renomina-
tiou of Senator Pugh, said to the Enqui
rer-Sun this morning: “There is no
danger of the fellow who picked the dark
horse landing safely on his long shot.
The dark horse is the most improbable
feature in the struggle, and of the gen
tlemen who have been compli
mented with votes without having been
formally nominated, the only one who
could be possibly nominated is Speaker
Clements, and his selection is just a possi
bility. I am not a believer in the dark
horse theory, but I believe there is one
man on the floor of the caucus whose
nomination as a dark horse would be a
probability, after a protracted straggle, and
that man is Henry Clayton, of Barbour. Of
course I know that Mr. Clayton is Sena
tor Pugh’s nephew [and the most ardent
supporter of the Senator in Alabama, and
that he would listen to no proposition
whieh would throw him into the field as
an opponent of his distinguished uncle.
Now,I am not with Henry in this fight,but
if Henry was fighting for himself instead
of leading the battle for his uncle it might
be different. Clayton might be nominated.

A prominent Kolb man said: “There

the regular afternoon rumor that Capt.
Kolb will be taken down on the third bal

thought of by Capt. Koib’s followers.
He is in a fine position and he
will be th# nominee. I saw a telegram
this morning from Eufaula which stated
that the merchants who Lad been through

that portion of the Sra:.- eu.husiastic for

sun’s cotton review. ’
New York, November 21.—Futures
opened at 2 to 3 points decline, closing
steady at an advance of 5 to 7 points on
near, and 4 to 5 points on late months,
from yesterday’s closing prices. Real cot
ton lower and “winter” cotton dearer, is
about the record of today's market at the
South as well as here. A better state of
affairs on the Stock Exchange and easier
money, together with comparatively small
receipts at ports, gave quite an impulse to
speculative buying after the second call,
which culminated in considerable advance
for the day. A further large increase in
stocks at interior towns was something of
a damper to the bulls in the last half hour,
but caused no decline.
Spot cotton was l-16c lower.
