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. A SMALL BLAZE. & PEARCE Their Store SHOES! SHOES!!

A notable socialable event and double marriage occurred in Glennville. Russell county, yesterday, in which Mr. Will M, Bray, a prominent young man of this city, and Miss Mamie McGough, and Mr. T. N. Barrone, a rising young man of Mobile, and Miss Susie McGough were united for life in the holy bonds of matrimony. The ceremony took place at the residence of the brides’ mother, Dr. Curton officiating. The brides are well known and have a host of friends here who wish them great hap piness in their future lives.

Eufaula, Ala., November 21.—[Spec ial.]—The tire alarm was sounded here abont 6 o’clock this evening, and the fire was found in the store of A. Steiner. The fire was reached and pnt oat before much damage was done. The fire originated in some blankets and is supposed to have caught from a lighted match that was thought to have been accidentally thrown among them. The loss is estimated to be $1,000, covered by insurance. A HAPPY MARRIAGE. Mr. James P. Hill and Miss Addie Dut ton were united in the bonds of holy mat rimony at the residence of the bride’s mother at 8 SO o’clock last night, Dr. J 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., Offer in Odd Suits, Pants, Every Day This Week DO YOU WEAR PANTS? Merchant Tailoring.

THEY RELATE TO AN ENDLESS VARIETY OF SUBJECTS—NARROW ESCAPE OF THE UNITED STATES CON STITUTION. Montgomery, Ala., November 21.— [Special.]—The feature of debate in the House this morning was a mild discussion of the proposition to fix the salaries of clerks of committees at $4 instead of $3. In the Senate, Senator Wiley’s bill to provide a system of water works for Mont gomery, was passed.

I The constitution of the United States had a narrow escape in the House this morning. A resolution was introduced referring the election of United States Senator to the people. Mr. Brewer called attention to the fact that the constitution of the United States provided for the elec tion by the Legislature, and the resolution was withdrawn. 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 is a stale chestnut in circulation in the lobbies of the Exchange Hotel, and that is the regular afternoon rumor that Capt. Kolb will be taken down on the third bal lot. No such action has ever been 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 the counties of Henry, Dsie, Coffee, Cov ington and Geneva report the people of that portion of the Sra:.- eu.husiastic for Kolb, and thousands upon thousands of signatures could be ob:a;ued to Kolb peti tions.” 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. ACTRESS MARLOW IMPROVING.
