Amorictts has a population of 3,000
round figures, and that number
names will appear in the city directory
soon to be issusd. And the people are
bere to show for it, too.
There is not the least doubt in the
world about that.
The new Hollis directory is now be
ing printed, and a careful count of the
names appearing theriu shows a total
of 7,900. Aa addenda of two or three
score or more names, yet to be inolud
od in the above count, will give
tal of 8,000 or near it.
The Times-Iteoorder has always in
sistedtbat Americas 'ontsiacd 8,000
people and there is no doubt of the
correctness of the claim.
According to the directory fignres,
which are absolutely correct, we have
220 more people tban were accredited
by the Federal census, which every
one, at the time of publication, believ
ed to bo incorrect.
One of the census enumerators here
made a canvass of the entire oity for
the publisher of the directory, after
completing the work assigned by the
Census Bureau, and many were found
whose names were not included in the
first connt that was made.
The work was carefully done and
there can hardly bo a mistake.
The proof sheets for tbe directory
show a total now of 7,900, as above
stated. Of these 3,080 are whites and
,820 colored citizens. Many more
white names will be added.
At the time the censns was taken
many people, in some instances entire
families, were away for tbe enmmer.
There’s were counted in the second
enumeration for the directory. In
that way, principally, is the difference
of nearly 270 names accounted for.
The people are here—8,000 of ’em—
and the published names will show it.

If Wiling to Care For Relative Over
In Spa 1 a.
Whenever any great fake is perpe
trated there are those in Americas
whom tbe fakirs attempt to draw into
though asaally witnout success.
What appears to be splansibie attempt
npon this line was a letter received
yesterday by a citizen of Americas
from an alleged cousin in Spain jin
which the latter very generonsly offers
place a half million dollars in tbe
hands of his Americas coasin in pay
meat of a trifling favor. The Spaniard
aims to be in prison (nojustly, of
coarse) and wants his Georgia coasin
care for and educate a beautiful
yonug daughter, who will eventually
inherit bis entire fortune of one mil
lion dollars. Tbe plans ot procedure
are very carefully rnsrked out, aud if
this fake had not already been attempt
ed in Georgia someone might have
been cangbt. It is safe to ray, how
ever, that tbe Americas man will not
be a victim and will let his ‘ cousin”
stay in jail, where be donbtleee onght
to be.

Cincinnati, Nov. to.—“This bank is
closed by order of tho comptroller of the
currency. O. P. Tucker,
“National Bank Examiner.”
This was the notice placed on the
doors of tho German National Bank of
Newport, Ky., befor the time for open
ing. The salient facts of the cause of
the notice have been known since Son-
day morning, and therefore there were
none of the usual scenes aooompanying
a rnn on the bank by depositors. Tbe
alleged defalcation of Assistant Oashier
Frank M. Brown to tho amount of
about 1300,000 was so overwhelming ■
fact that no depositor was foolish enough
to suppose that any good could be accom
plished by a meeting to got money from
tbe bank today.
National Bank Examiner Tnoker, who
is in charge, in an interview today said
that tbe defalcation was not discovered
until 10 o’clock Saturday night; that
both he and the bank’s own experts had
been nimble to find anything wrong un
til that time. The discovery was nude
in a comparison of Brown's Individual
ledger with the cashier’s daily checking
up. Here it was found that Brown had
been forcing balances from day to day
until tbe enormous total of *193,000 boa
been withdrawn from the funds of the
bank. Tho examiner farther sold that
the criminal proceedings had been re
ferred to United States District Attor
ney Hill of Louisville, who would
cause a warrant tor Brown's arrest to
be issnod.
Depositors to Us Paid.
The examiner himself has not taken
this step because he knew that Brown
was absent The only bond which the
bonk holds is that ot Ports O. Brown,
father of the assistant oashier, who U a
well known river man and president of
tha Consolidated Boat Store company.
The bond is an open one, conditional to
cover any shortage by the son. It is
said that though Paris O. Brown 1
voluntarily offered his entire property
to meet its obligation, not more than
*30,000 can be realized from this source.
The examiner stated that be would
probably be named as temporary re
ceiver, but the appointment of a perma
nent receiver was in the hands of the
comptroller of the enrrenoy. The stock,
he says, is of no value, as a double lia
bility assessment mast be made.
Depositors may reoeive a dividend as
soon as the comptroller of the currency
authorizes it, bat this has gone on for
