A PAI1 FOR PORTERFIELD NASHVILLE BANKER SERVES ONLY THREE YEARS OF SENTENCE. HE WAS SENT UP FOR TEN YEARS. la Connection With Two Other Men He Indirectly Caused the Kuiu of Two Hanks and a Firm. A Washington special says: Presi¬ dent Cleveland Tuesday granted an unconditional pardon to Frank Porter¬ field, the Nashville banker who is now in the Kings county prison at Brook¬ lyn, N. Y. The pardon was recom¬ mended by United States Judge Sage of the southern district of Ohio, who presided at the trial; ex-United States District Attorney John Ruben, United States District Attorney Tully Brown and Ed Baxter, special attorney in the case. Porterfield was cashier of the Com¬ mercial National bank, which failed March 20, 1890. There were several indictments against him, but the one on which he was convicted was over¬ drawing; his personal account without the knowledge of the board of direc¬ tors. The account was overdrawn at the time of the failure. Porterfield was convicted December 14, 1893, and lias served a little over three years of his ten years sentence. M. A. Spun-, president, was recent¬ ly convicted of falsely certifying checks and sentenced to five years. His appeal is pending. Frank Porterfield is a member of one of the oldest and best known fam¬ ilies in Tennessee. lie fought through¬ out the war iu the confederate army and was cashier of the Commercial National bank from the time of its or¬ ganization to its failure. The capital stock of the bank was $500,000 and it had a large surplus, but so completely was it wrecked that the stockholders were assessed the full amount of their holdings and even then depositors have received up to date only 65 per cent in dividends. The failure of the bank was caused by speculations. George A. Dazey, of the cotton firm of Dobbins and Dazey, was the prime mover in the affair, and while only partially responsible for the wrecking of the Commercial National bank, was directly responsible for the failure of his own firm, which was worth a half million dollars. Porterfield was taken to Nashville from Brooklyn to testify in the case and his relation of the story of his downfall was one of the most dramatic stories ever told in court. He told how he first began to specu¬ late, of his gains and losses, and how bis fortune was swept away and he be¬ gan to use the bank’s money and vio¬ late the law. His continued losses crazed him, and he was swept off his feet in a whirlpool of mad speculations that -ended in ruin. While there was bitter feeling against Porterfield in Nashville this has been largely mellowed by time, it is said, and as developments have shown that efforts were made to shift the entire responsibility on him sym¬ pathy has been aroused in his behalf. SEARCHED LAWYER’S HOME. Sheriff's Hunt For Escaped Murderer Reese Develops a Sensation. The search for Reese and Luckie, the convicted murderers who escaped from the Yorkville, S. C., jail, devel¬ oped a sensational episode Tuesday. On the strength of: an anonymous communication, Sheriff Logan searched the house of Major James F. Hart, of Reese’s counsel, and one of the most prominent lawyers iu the state. Al¬ though the lawyer was perfectly wil¬ ling for the search to be made, and on account of the communition and cur¬ rent gossip the sheriff thought it was due to all parties concerned. His action has raised a considerable amount of feeling that is finding expression in talk that is hot. Governor Ellerbe has offered $500 reward for the capture of Reese and j $300 for the apprehension of Luckie. Jacksonville Bank Closed. There was considerable excitement at Jacksonville, Fla., Tuesday, over the closing National of the bank. doors No of the Mer- j chants' statement J is made. J. L. Marvin is president ! and H. T. Baya cashier. j WILLIAM ST. JOHN DEAD. Well Known Financier and Free Silver Advocate Passes Away. William P. St. John, ex-president of the Mercantile National bank and treasurer of the Democratic National committee, died suddenly at his home in New York City Sunday night. Mr. St. John was one of the fore¬ most men in the recent presidential campaign. His work was stupendous and after the day of election he show¬ ed so much the effects of his ceaseless and tireless efforts that a trip south was taken by him to recuperate. It was not generally known that bis health was bad and the news of bis death has created surprise. LOOKS LIKE GARY. Reliable Reports That Marylander Will Enter Cabinet. A Washington special says: The Cabinet makers have, to their own sat¬ isfaction, filled the cabinet position to be accorded the south by making Gary, of Maryland, the lucky man. It is not stated that this information comes from McKinley. Representative Brownloy, of Ten- nessce, makes the assertion that Gary the * will be man. THE B. S L. MUDDLE GROWS. STOCKHOLDERS OF THE BROKEN SOUTHERN MUTUAL ARE HOT. CHARGES ARE MADE AGAINST HALE Consensus of Opinion Among Stockholders Is That the Business of the Company Was Grossly Mismanaged. Dissatisfaction grows apace amoug the stockholders of the Southern Mu¬ tual Building and Loan Association at Atlanta, Ga., now in the hands of a temporary receiver. Anger and discontent over the turn affairs have taken is being freely ex¬ pressed among the thousands of stock¬ holders and an endless chain of rumors of every kind is going around. From every side comes the clamor of dissatisfaction. The determination to get at the real facts of the situation is voiced from every state from Mary¬ land to Texas and from Kentucky to Florida, which is the territory covered by the multitude of subscribers to the ruined and broken building and loan company. The talk of bad management, the rumors of gross neglect in affairs have taken still worse form in the current talk that is going on. Every one is clamoring for investigation. Every one is making or insinuating charges of a not very satisfactory kind, and it is intimated by many that the affairs of the company may yet go to other than civil tribunals. It is declared by many that the management of the building and loan association was such as to cause many stockholders to lose confidence in it months ago. One man declared that the association had been ruined for three years. Another declared that although it is a loan concern, it has not loaned a cent of money in six months. The trouble is all being charged up at the doors of the officers, and Presi¬ dent Hale is coming in for a share of roasting upon red-hot coals. The stockholders are directing their fire at President Hale, and so dissatis¬ fied are they at the present situation of affairs that they are clamoring for a full explanation of everything. They charge that Mr. Hale’s hand shows strongly in the motion for a re¬ ceiver; that he not only kew, but ad¬ vised the move, and that it was done under his knowledge and direction. They charge that Mr. Hale also knew of the receivership of the State Savings; that lie signified his desire that Mr. J. C. Dayton, the cashier of the bank, and Mr. Allen Bates be named as receivers. In connection with this a sensational fact is alleged. It is declared that in the original bill for receiver the name of Mr. J. C. Dayton -was given to Judge Candler. The judge is said to have drawn his pen through Mr. Day- ton’s name and substituted that of Mr. T. J. Ripley. A further fact that is alleged as be¬ ing significant of Mr. Hale’s entire un r derstanding of the move for a receiver for the building and loan association is that Judge James A. Anderson, of Anderson, Felder & Davis, which firm is Mr. Hale’s legal representative, was named as receiver. The drift of all this talk is to prove that Mr. Hale, as president of the Southern Mutual, so steered the re- ceiverships as to place them in the hands of parties entirely friendly to his interests. HEARING POSPONED. The Southern Mutual Building and Loan Case Goes Over. The hearing on the appointment of a permanent receiver for the Southern Mutual Building and Lean Association of Atlanta, has been postponed until Saturday, February 27th, and the court has directed the temporary re¬ ceiver, Judge Anderson, to employ an expert accountant to go through the books and securities of the association and make a complete statement. It is provided that the receiver shall not employ any one who is or has been connected with the Southern Mutual or any allied institution. This cuts off the salaries of a number of officers and employes who have been employ¬ ed by Receiver Anderson in making up a statement. The hearing was postponed at the request of counsel for the association. JOHN RANDOLPH TUCKER DEAD. He Was a Noted Lawyer and Statesman of Virginia. Hon. John Randolph Tucker died at his home, Lexington, Va., Saturday evening. He was conscious up to 2 o’clock in the afternoon,when he bade hir. family good bye. Mr. Tucker was a striking figure in American politics in a stirring epoch in the country's history, a notable leader in the days of the rebellion,and a participant in the exciting times of the electoral commission and the birth of the tariff reform movement. He was a native Virginian. LIL HAS HOPES. Claims That She is Still Queen of Hawaiian Islands. In the retinue of ex-Queen Liliuoka- lani of Hawaii, and known as her pri¬ vate secretary, is Julius A. Palmer. Secretary Palmer has given to the press a letter in which he sets forth the views entertained by those around her ex-highness. The abdication is null and void, he asserts, because the document was signed under duress, and the paper, likewise, was worthless because the signature attached is not Ldliuokalani’s official signature. GREEKS OCCUPY CRETE. The Flag of King George Now Floats Over Fortresses—The Fact Proclaimed. Advices received Tuesday from Canea, Crete, are to the effect that Colonel Vassos, aide de camp of King George, and commander of the Greek army corps on the island of Crete, has, by request of King George, through the minister of war, issued an order explaining that the action of Greece is due to the fact that she is unable to tolerate any longer the lamentable sit¬ uation of the Christians in Crete, “to whom we are united by the sacred ties of religion.” The order proceeds: “The government has decided to occupy the island in the name of King Georg <- .aid raise liis flag over the for- tresgfc.-., . which you will take pos- session. “All tr actions shall be accom¬ plished . . conformity with the Greek laws, in e name of King George,and on the responsibility of the govern¬ ment. “Yon will publish a proclamation announcing the occupation of the island by the Greek troops.” This ha: been done, and the Rus¬ sian, French, British, Italian and Austrian flags are now floating over Canea, and the fact causes general satisfaction. The state of uncertainty which lias so long prevailed is now at an end, and the Christians believe themselves to be rid, for all time, of the Mussulman rule. Greece will, in all probability, be allowed to assume the administration of Crete, probably under the supervis¬ ion of the powers. PRACTICE WITH BIG GUNS. Markmanship of Admiral Bunce’s Fleet Very Satisfactory. The feature of the day, Monday, in the blockading of the port of Charies- ton by Admiral Bunce’s fleet consisted of some heavy gun practice by the en¬ tire squadron. Shortly after 1 o’clock the ships moved into their blockading positions, and putting out floating tar¬ gets at distances ranging from 400 to 3,000 yards began to get their main batteries into action. The targets used were the ordinary floating triangles of seven feet to the side. The practice begau at 1:15 in the afternoon and continued without interruption until 3:30 p.m. 4 he guns on the individual ships were in action one at a time and while the ships were anchored. Once the Massachusetts fired her 13-inch guns at intervals of two min¬ utes, aud at one time the Maine got under way and fired several shots at her target. The guns were loaded with service charges and shells were the main pro¬ jectiles used. The booming of the great guns reverberated for miles along the coast, and in the city the concus¬ sion was felt distinctly but could uot be heard. The shooting was nearly all line firing, and while the range of the targets was not gotten with accu¬ racy the practice was apparently suc¬ cessful. Many of the projectiles struck short of the targets, and plunging into the ocean ricocheted some times for a mile before making the second plunge. ALLIANCE OFFICERS MEET. The Supreme Council Hold a Session at Washington. The annual meeting of the supreme council of the National Farmers’ Alli¬ ance opened at Washington Tuesday. The council is the governing body of the alliance, and representatives from over a score of states gathered to talk over the affairs of the greater organi¬ zation and the interests of the agricul¬ tural classes. The sessions were presided over by President Mann Page, of Virginia, and were practically devoted to organiza¬ tion aud presentation of the annual re¬ ports of the officers of the council, President Page, Secretary Treiisurer Southwortli and Lecturer Vincent. DISPENSARY FOR KANSAS. A Bill Patterned After South Carolina’s Law Presented. A bill was introduced in the Kansas senate Monday to repeal the prohibi¬ tory law and establish a system of state dispensaries for the control of the liquor traffic. Decision Was Against Dunlap. The United States supreme court Monday decided the case of Joseph Dunlap, of Chicago, charged with sending obscene matter through the mails. The verdict of the district court, which was against Dunlap, was affirmed. ARSON AND SUICIDE. Yonng Married Couple Commit Crime and Then Die Together. A double suicide came to light in Hawkins, Tenn., Monday, by the finding of the bodies of Muller Ripley, aged twenty-five, and his young wife. The couple had been missing since Saturday night, when, it appears, they burned the residence of Henry Suth¬ erland, a brother of Mrs. Ripley. From her brother’s home they went to the Holston river and drowned themselves. A note found in Ripley’s coat pocket requested that the bodies be buried in the same coffin. The re¬ quest will be complied with. BOY BURGLARS CAUGHT. Four jScIons of Well Known Families Behind Prison Bars. Rome, Ga., developed the sensation of the year the past week. Four of the best known youag men in the city are behind the bars of the jail on charges which heretofore have only been lodged ag&int professional bur¬ glars of long standing in the burglar- izing business. That the evidence against them seems to be conclusive is the most sensational feature. POWERS TO INTERVENE. An Agreement to Protect the Sultan of Turkey. Advices from Berlin state that the many rumors concerning what actually occurred in Athens as a result of the conferences of the diplomatic repre¬ sentatives of the powers Sunday, and the subsequent representative of the conclusions arrived at by the confer¬ ence to Premier Delyannis, M. Bource, the French minister, being the spokes¬ man of the diplomats, have been set at rest by a semi-official statement which was given out Monday. According to this statement, M. Delyannis, upon being formally noti¬ fied of the action of the foreign minis¬ ters, which notice was put iu the form of a protest against the action which Greece has taken in Crete, asked that time be allowed him in which to con¬ sider and formulate reply. The Greek premier, after a brief re¬ view of the situation, declares without qualification, that it is the purpose of Greece to occupy Crete. In this view of this defiant attitude of the Hellenic kingdom, the German government will consider that it is no longer consonant with dignity to proceed further in the paths of diplomacy at Ath¬ ens, and after having communicated this conclusion to the governments of the other powers will instruct the commander of the German warship Kaiserin Augusta to proceed to Canea and join the associated fleets off the Cretan coast in preventing any hostile action on the part of Greece and co¬ operate with them in restoring order in the island. According to the semi¬ official statement this decision on the part of Germany is final. FLANAGAN ON TRIAL. The Issue of Insanity Raised by His At¬ torneys. The trial of Edward Flanagan, mur¬ derer of Mrs. Allen and Miss Stack, was begun at Decatur, Ga., Monday morning. A jury was selected but an issue of insanity -was raised before the murder trial could be entered into. An examination by medical experts was held during recess of court when eight physicians examined the mur¬ derer’s mental condition. The examination was conducted be¬ hind closed doors, and no one was allowed in the room but the attorneys for the defense and prosecution. The examination lasted during the whole two hours of the recess and nearly three-quarters of an hoar longer. The most interesting part of the long examination was Flanagan’s statement of his crime. He made a speech to the experts nearly an hour in length, in which he told every de¬ tail of his connection with the Allen family from the time he first met them until the night of the terrible tragedy. REFORMS ARE SATISFACTORY. Spanish Declare That President Cleveland and Mr. Olney Are Pleased. The London Times now publishes a Madrid dispatch saying the papers there announce that the Duke of Te- tuan, minister of foreign affairs, has received from Senor Dupuy De Lome, the Spanish minister to the United States, a telegram stating that Presi¬ dent Cleveland, Secretary of State Olney and all of the other principal public men of the United States re¬ gard the reforms for Cuba recently adopted by the Spanish government as ample. Minister De Lome, the dispatch says, added that the Cuban question may he considered as dead, so far as the United States congress and public opinion are concerned. President-elect McKinley is also believed to regard the reforms favorably. The Times dis¬ patch adds that the government is re¬ served, but that the foregoing is more or less correct. MAJOR M’KIXLEY INDISPOSED. His Physician Advises Him to Refuse all * Callers. A special from Canton states that Major McKinley was unable to receive any of the numerous politicians who were on hand early Monday morning. The president-elect is suffering with an attack of influenza. His physician furnished the press with the following: “?»Iajor McKinley is not seriously ill, but is suffering with a mild attack of influenza. His pulse and tempera¬ ture are now' normal. He must not receive callers during the present week, and cannot make the anticipated trip to Cleveland until Thursday or Friday. He should be allowed to rest from now until the time of his dejiart- ure for Washington.” DEPOSITORS GET DIVIDENDS. The Comptroller For Several Defunct National Banks Awards Cash. The comptroller of the currency has declared dividends in favor of insol- vent national banks as follows, viz: 20 per cent, Bennett National bank, of New Whatcom, Wash.; 20 per cent, Citizens’ National bank, of San Angelo, Texas; 20 per cent, First National bank, of Ithica, Mich.; 10 per cent, Black Hills National bank, of Rapid City, S. D.; 10 percent, Farmers’ Na- tional bank, of Portsmouth, O.; 20 per cent, National bank, of Pendle¬ ton, O. CIGARETTES BARRED IN CAROLIN A Legislature Imposes Tax of 25 Cents on Every Fve Smokers. In the South Carolina general as¬ sembly Friday the bill increasing the limit of alien ownership of land from 500 to 5,000 acres was killed on the third reading in the house, an action generally condemned. The bill providing for compulsory education, passed by the house, was killed in the senate. The house has passed a bill imposing a tax of 25 cents on every package of five cigar¬ ettes each sold in the state. THE MEASURE WENT THROUGH WITHOUT A DIVISION. ARBITRATION TREATY HANGS FIRE. Various Matters of Interest Discussed By the Solons at the National Capital—Notes. The senate Tuesday, after passing several minor bills, including one re¬ arranging the judicial districts of Ar¬ kansas and a statement from Senator Sherman that he will urge the arbitra¬ tion treaty Wednesday to the exclu¬ sion of all other matters, listened to a long speech from Senator Chandler (Rep.), New Hampshire, in favor of bimetallism and of increased coinage of silver as a cure for the present de¬ pressed condition of business and in¬ dustry. There was a somewhat sen¬ sational outbreak when Mr. Chan¬ dler accused Mr. Pettigrew of hav¬ ing been cbosen as a McKinley dele¬ gate to the St. Louis convention, and then violating a distinct pledge that lie would support McKinley and the gold standard. Mr. Pettigrew branded the statement as unqualifiedly false. Mr. Chandler maintained the truth of his statement and the two senators ad¬ dressed each other personally in a hot exchange of words. At Tuesday’s session the house, by 115 to 79, not two-thirds,, refused to pass over the president’s veto a bill increase to $30 per month the pension of Nancy G. Allabach, widow of Col. Peter H. Allabach, of the 131st Penn¬ sylvania volunteers. Then it proceed¬ ed to consider pension business for the rest of the day. In the house Monday a resolution was adopted providing for evening sessions for the consideration of private pen¬ sion bills. Amendments of the senate to the diplomatic and consular appro¬ priation bills were concurred in. The bill noiv goes to the president. One hour and forty minutes were wasted at the night session of the house be¬ fore a quorum was secured. The net result of the session w as that ten bills were laid aside with a favorable-recom¬ mendation, and at half-past 11 o’block the house adjourned. In the senate Monday the bill was passed providing penalties for starting fires which may be communicated to inflammable growth on public lands. Mr. Morgan’s (democrat, Alabama), resolution for the abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty came up and precipitated a heated parliamentary fight. The resolution was fwal- ly displaced by other business. Mr, Cannon, the chairman of the ap¬ propriations committee, moved to sus¬ pend the rules and pass the sundry civil appropriation bill. General de¬ bate on this measure, carrying slightly in excess of $50,000,000, closed on Saturday, and to save time and avoid risk of amendment, this plan of pass¬ ing the bill without debate under the five-minute rule was adopted. The sundry civil appropriation was then passed by the house without a divis¬ ion. The senate went into executive ses¬ sion at 12:30 p. m. Saturday* on mo¬ tion of Mr. Sherman, for the purpose of taking up the arbitration treaty. The senate was immediately informed that the committee on foreign relations had agreed upon an amendment which it was hoped would insure the speedy acceptance of the treaty by the senate. This amendment makes the specific declaration that no question shall be submitted to arbitration until the act receives the sanction of the senate. This meets one point made by Morgan in his strong speech iu opposition to the treaty ratification Senator Morgan gave notice that the treaty as amended would not be rati¬ fied. This announcement was a dis¬ tinct surprise, as the amendment he was fighting for had been accepted aud the advocates of the treaty believed it would alter his attitude toward the measure to such an extent that his op¬ position would be withdrawn. The house Saturday at once resumed consideration of the sundry civil bill. Mr. Cannon denied that it was intend¬ ed to pass the bill Monday under suspension of the rules, but called attention to the fact that March 4 was drawing near and that the naval and general deficiency appropriation bills had not been acted upon yet. NOTES. Mr. Pettigrew introduced, aud the senate passed a resolution Saturday calling for the investigation of the Perrine land grant, in Florida, re¬ cently given by the secretary of in¬ terior. The senate committee on interstate commerce held a special meeting Tuesday and agreed to report the anti¬ scalping bill amendments. The most important of these provides that the purchaser of a ticket in good faith for personal use in the prosecution of a journey should have the right to re¬ sell it, and another amendment makes it incumbent on any railroad to re¬ deem at a pro rata rate the unused portion of any ticket purchased from it. Mr. Perkins introduced a joint reso¬ lution in the senate Saturday, which was read and passed, authorizing the secretary of the navy to place at the disposal of the chamber of commerce at San Francisco any suitable United States ship or vessel for the purpose of transporting to the famishing poor of India contributions of wheat and corn, or to charter a suitable American steamship with cargo capacity of from 1,509 to 3,000 tons and making nece§’ sary appropriation therefor. Keeping Things Separate. It has been hinted that Senator Hill will retire from politics and develop himself to the accumulation of a fort¬ une. The assumption that he cannot combine the two undertakings is thor¬ oughly complimentary. Twins in Size, Shape and Activity. This Is what those Important little organs, the kidneys are when healthy.
