SIX ASSIGNMENTS.
One of Them That of a Bank and the
Others Caused by St.
Raleigh, N. C\, Nov. 15. —The Bank of
Durham made an as-igriment last night,
but it was not made public till this fore
noon. Several of the largest business estab
lishments in Durham are involved. The
list of failure* is as follows -
Bank of Durham, a state bar k, owned
by W. T. Blackwell, liabilities estimated at
t-k'i,OOb: estimated aiteta upward of t*OJ,-
000.
E. J. Parish, warehouseman and manu
faturer of smoking tobacco, liabilities
120,000. estimated assets #300,000.
J. VS’ Blackwell, coal dealer, contractor,
etc. . liabilities SIIO,OOO.
VV F. Ellis, dry gocsis; liabilities $23,000.
Vance & Shaw, dry goods, liabilities
SIO,OOO.
Kobhins A: Stone, dry goods: liabilities
s>s,ooo.
ALL ASSETS ABOVE THE DEBTS.
It i* believed that in every instance the
as—ts will more than cover the liabilities.
The immediate cause of the assignment
of the hack u the far t that the institution
had a heavy line of discounts at the north,
which it could not get renewed. It is stated
that Mr. Blackwell will be able to pay all
creditors in full.
The doors of the l>ank remained rloeed
this morning, a notice te-mg placed thereon
stating that all creditor* would be paid
dollar for dollar. There has been no run on
the other Durham banks, all of w hich
assure the public that they are ready to
meet all demands.
CARR ONLY SLIGHTLY AFFECTED.
J. 8. Carr is believed to have been affected
very slightly, if at all, by the assignment*.
Italeigh is not affected in the least. Not
a single individual here will suffer.
The assignment of the bank was the cause
of the other assignment*, all of which were
made almost simultaneously. It is not sup
posed that the crash will prove particularly
disastrous to Durham, as it is believed that
all the houses involved will be able to pay
ail their liabilities and leave a surplus re
maining. and will resume business at an
early day.

Both Parties Still Claiming to Have
Elected the Governor.
Wheeling. W. Va., Nov. 15.—Dis
patches received this evening by the repub
lican ‘tate committee lead Chairman Cow
den to revise his figures and increase Goff’s
majority for governor from 76 to 202. A
recount in Fayette county gave him
an increase of 100, and authentic
returns from McDowell makes the
other difference*. Owing to the
recount these figures are still subject to re
vision. Later returns give McGinnis, rep.,
for congress in the third district, 35 major
ity. The democratic state committee still
claims Fleming s election as governor by
200 or 300, but furnish no figure*.

MASK TWAIN'S DAUGHTER.
One of the Interesting Stories the Hu
morist T ells.
New York, Nov. 15.—Mark Twain, if
he is in the mood, will tell the story of his
own courtship in a manner worthy of the
greatest living humorist. When h 6 first
met the lady who afterward became his
wife he was not so distinguished as now. his
origin was humble, and for some years of
his life he had been a pilot on the Missis
sippi river. The future Mrs. Clemens was
a woman of position and fortune; her father
was a judge and doubtless expected "fam
ily” and social importance in his soa-in-law.
Clemens, however, became interested in his
daughter and after a while proposed, but
was rejected “Well,” he said to the lady,
“I didn't much believe you'd have me, but 1
thought I'd try.”
After a wniie he “tried” again, with the
same result, and then remarked, wita his
celebrated drawl, “I think a great deal
more of you than if jou'd said ‘Yes;’ but
it's hard to bear.' A third time he met
with better fortune and then came to the
most difficult part of his task, to address
the old gentleman.
‘‘Judge. ’ he said to the dignified million
aire, "have you seen anything going on be
tween Miss Lizzie and me”,
"What! What'” exclaimed the judge,
rather shsrplv, apparently not understand
ing the situation yet, doubtless getting a
glimpse of it from the inquiry.
‘ Have you seen any ching going on be
tween Miss Lizzie and me!"
“No, no indeed: ' replied the magnate,
sternly. “No, sir, I have not.’
“Weilllook sharp, and you will,” said the
author of “Innocents Abroadand that's
the wav he asked the judicial luminary for
his daughter's hand.
Mark Twain has a child who inherits
some of her father's brightness. She kept a
diary at one time, in which she noted the
oc- urences in the family, and among other
things the sayings of her parents. On one
page she wrote that father sometimes used
stronger words when mother wasn't by and
he thought “we” didn’t hear. Mrs. Clem
ens found the diary and showed it to her
husband, probably thinking that particu
lar page worth his" notice. After this Clem
ens did and said things that were intended
to attract the child’s attention, and found
them duly noted afterward. But one day
the following entry occurred:
“I don’t think I’ll put down anything
more about father, for I think he does
things to have We notice him, and I believe
he reads this diary,” She was Mark’s own
child. David Wechsler.
