A clear sweep has really been made In Pittsburg. The liabil ities are believed to reach over $2,000,000. It Is said that the bank’s method of book keeping dates back three years to the time of the Cherry Grove oil excitement, since which time the bank has been losing stead ily. Prominent business men who are ac* S uainted with the affairs of the bank say lat if it had closed its doors March 1st, they doubt if the depositors would have realized 10 per cent, and last night, after business hours, W. N. Kiddle, president of the bank, through his attorney, filed a confes sion of judgment in favor ot the directors of the bank for $99,750. The judgment was entered and an execution of attachment is sued and put hrtbe hands of the sheriff, with instructions to levy upon a long list of persons, corporations and institutions as garnishees. The Pennsylvania Bank charter was purchased from a defunct banking establishment and is very liberal. It provides that no stockholder or officer shall be assessed and held liable for any purpose whatever for any greater sum t! an the face value of the stock held by such stockholder ot officer. Pitt8bubq. May 28.—The deficiency in the Pennsylvania Bank still grows, and this morning has reached $1,200,000. A heavy defalcation is also hinted at, which it is claimed will reach nearly $1,000,000. The directors have been in session all day, and have decided to have a thorough in THE NEWS IN GEORGIA. [tI1 *.RAPHtD TO THE ASSOCIATED PEESS.] Philadelphia, May 28.-In the Meth- 1, Annual Conference to day, the com- i tee on the state of the church called up >. report for final action, and Governor R. r Pattern, chairman of the committee, Presented the report on marriage and ? vo ree It recommends that no divorces Should be granted except on grounds jus- Ufled by the Scriptures, and also that a committee should be appointed to confer with the Governors of all the States to wdeavor to secure the enactment of uni form laws on this subject. The first part amended, making it the sense of the conference that divorces should not be granted but for adultery, and any one Seed for such reason, if the guilty ■ ■ ri,... cannot he married again by any vestigation and full statements furnished foim.tcr of the church. On this question the public.

The portion of tlqe report of this com mittee which was expected would cause considerable debate was that referring to the "color line," as it is called. It came In, in two ways. Thecommitteepresented areportdeclaring it to be the policy of the church that no member of any society within the church shall be excluded from public worship In any and every edifice of the denomination, and that no student shall he excluded from any and every school of the church on ac. count of race, color for previous condi tion of servitude. The minority report stated that in view of the action already had on the question, farther action was •ncalled for. The minority report was voted down. GoyernorhPattison made a warm argument in defense of the report, and was frequently interrupted by hearty applause. A layman called for a vote by tellers. It was not sustained. Then a clergyman did the same thing, with the same result. A motion to postpone was then made, and .lost, and finally the main report was adopted by an overwhelming Hancock is preparing to entertain the soldier boys in old-fashioned Geor gia style. Columbcb has a new clock, and her newspaper boys will be less apt than over before to get left. “Fence” or “no fence” is the ques tion now agitating the minds of many Bartow county planters,” says the Oar- tersville American. The streetsof Summerville are to be graded by Mr. T. P. Roulett. He will out an additional force of 100 hands on lie Augusta, Gibson and Sandersvillo railroad. There seems to he no reason to ] doubting the nomination of Col. Barnes for Congress in the 10th district on the first ballot. So far no opposition has shown itself. The committee then reported a series of resolutions denouncing polygamy and de claring it to be the sense of the representa tives of Methodism, in the General Confer ence assembled, that it is the duty of the legislative department of the government to proceed without further delay, to enact laws which will summarily depose from political and official power in the Territories of the United States those who either practice or advocate polygamy as a civil or religious right. An effort was made by Rev. Drs. Buckley and Curry to amend the report by striking out the clause which proposed to deal out summary chastisement not alone to those who practiced bnt those as well who ad vocate the Utah system. Governor l’nttison made a strong ap peal tor the adoption of the report. Hts remarks bad a telling effect upon the del- S ates and audience, and the report was opted with applause. One of the inoet important of the papers thus presented was a report of the commit tee on the Book Concern which ahowe that the profits accruing in New York and its depositories were |2Sl,0i2;ln Cincinnati there was fl01,002-mnklng *382,114 as the total profits. 1 addition to this eum the establishment! which are known as the Eastern and Western houses paid dividend* to the Annual con. ferences amounting to *45,000. In summing up, the report etated that the af fairs of the Book Concern during the pas’, quadrennial were more prosperous than ever before. This report, as well as a number of others, submitted by the same committee, was adopted, after which a taken. THE GREENBACK CONVENTION. Opooaitlon to Butler na n Prestdantlal Candidate. New York Timet. IiMAXATOua, May 90.—Delegates to the national Greenback convention are begin ning to arrive freely, and the bnaz of po litical gossip fills the air. Dr. Leonard ttya he looks for TOO delegates and 10,000 visitors. But they will not be here. A meeting of the national committee trill be held to-morrow to make final arrange ments for the convention. General J. it. Heaver, of Iowa, or Charles Jenkins, of Ohio, will be chairman, lites Frances Willard, of . Chi cago, will address the convention ot. Hednealay on temperance and eqnal suf frage. The opiKidtion to Butler's nomi nation by the convention la beaded by George O. Jones, of New York, who says that Butler la not a Grcenbacker: that he hae never been faithful to anything; that be is the consummation of tyranny ltul demagogy. "I believe til the old lay ing, laid Mr. Iones, "that if a man cheats Tononcsit is bit fault, the second time it it Tour own. Bntler deceived me once, he never can client me again.” It ia evident ■hat Jones and the majority of thodtla- g»tet are not rolling the wheel of Green- pack progress over the same road in the •amt direction. —7be anfi-Butlerites are talking of Oen.

Many of those who made del on Friday last threaten the bank officials with criminal proceedings for false pre tenses in obtaining their money. Cashier R. E. Eiden is now under police surveil- lance. President Riddle is much better to-night, and will probably be strong enough to come to the city next week. This afternoon the directors ap pointed Henry Warner, ex-county com missioner, assignee of the hank. THE HOT SPEINOS FAILURE. Bt.’Lous, May 28.—Andrew Brown, the missing president of the Hot Springs, Ark., bank which failed yesterday, was arrested here on the Iron Mountain train this morning. Brown was accompanied by a lady named Mrs. Steel, of Peoria, Ill.,with whom he was reported to have fled from Hot Springs. Brown and Mrs. Steele were first taken to a hotel and afterwards to jail. He professes to return willinglyand says it is an outrage to tsjee the woman too. It -is supposed she knows where the money is, which Brown took from the bank. TnE HAWLEY FAILURE, Boston, May 28.—The official statement of the assignee of F. A. Hawley & Co., bankers, who recently failed, shows an in- deotedness of *342,568 and assets of *32,- 585. There are in additiun to the above indebtedness contingent liabilities of *50,- 000. Of the direct indebtedness $227,000 is to depositors. Prelates In Council. Baltimore. Md„ May 28.—The Roman Catholic prelate! of the Archdiocese of Baltimore held a meeting this morning at the Archi-episcopal residence of Arch bishop Gibbons. The following bishops were present: Gross, of Savannah; Nor throp, of Charleston. S. C.. Vicar Apos- todcof North Caroiinn; O'Hara, of Scran ton; Moore, of St. Augustine, Fla.; Kain, ot Wheeling; Becker, of Wilmington, Del., and Keene, of Richmond. The pro ceedings nAt conducted with closed doors, hut the conference is held to consider va rious matters to come before the plenary counsel. Similar conferences have been held in other Archdioceses. The bishops concluded the business for which they assembled and several of them left for their homes this evening. It is understood that one of the principal sub- iects to lie brought before the council in November next will be the gathering of the colored race into the church, and the pro vince of Baltimore will urge upon the council the necessity as well as the duty of the church to look after the religious wel fare of that race. Four Prisoners Make Their Eacape. IsriciAL correspondence. 1 Eastman, May 28.—Six prisoners, Fuller, Iryant, McRae, Durr, Wright and Math- .*>, ail colored, escaped from jail at 4 o'clock to-day. They effected an opening through the iron grating, climbed to the roof, remoTSd some brick and descended by a blanket to the ground. They were seen running to a branch by a white hoy, who reported. A posse will be started In pursuit. THE WALKINQ MATCH. Setter Work Yesterday—What the Com mittee la Doing, Etc. Messrs. H. T. Powell and Felix Gamp, !rom the Macon Library, were met in At lanta yesterday by Messrs. Finch, Parrott ind Amarous, of the Atlanta Library, and die coming walking match between the two cities freely and fully discussed, The walkers will be numbered from one to twelve inclusive—the Macon men tak ing the odd numbers and the Atlanta men the even. These numbers will be made of some suitable material and placed both in front and back of the walker. The color adopted for Ma con was blue and red tor Atlanta Ma con, in addition to the above distinguish ing features, will have uniform, Atlanta sidopting variegated suits. The uniforms will be decided upon later. There will be twelve scorers, six for each place; four markers, two selected breach city. There will be eleven judges, five for each city, and one from some other place chosen by the ten. , . Each walker wlU be allowed one tram er, but no trainer will be allowed to follow The Muscogee Democrats will ap point their delegates to the Atlanta convention of June 18 on next Tues day. A mass-meeting has been called for the purpose. Down to Monday night, the Chatham registration lists showed 2,890 voters. Why can’t all the counties in the State have a registration law. It would he in the interest of good government. Union and Recorder: On Friday, Sat urday and Sunday afternoons this sec tion was blessed with timely and abun dant rains. Gardens will now grow rapidly, and crops and fruit be greatly benefited. As to manufacturing in the South, the Gainesville Southron says: “The Georgia Match Company are daily re ceiving more orders than they can fill. Who says manufacturing docs not pay in the South?” , The idea of paying people to get out ia the sun and walk against each other, for a given length of time, is abont as absurd an affair as can be conceived of. Why not pay the man that can do the most work in twelve hours? Is it be cause there is virtue in labor? “Many Citizens” tried to get a com munication on the ice question pub lished in the Morning Newt, but it didn’t know any citizen by thattname, and so the article did not get in. It is Strange that the people are so slow to learn the newspaper rule with refer ence to articles for publication. Three wife-heaters were before the Mayor’s Court in Savannah, on Tues day morning. One of them was a white man, but he was released on the ground of being irrational. A man not rational enough to lie amenable to the law ought to be in the asylum. There is no adequate punishment for wife-beat ing in Geargia. The Atlanta Journal speaks of Lee Clay as “a mean-looking Individual” who ‘‘would look well in chains.” Tills shows tlio great adaptability of the English language to fully depicting Ilamitic degeneracy. Lee Clay ought to be forced to change his name. He is a burglar, while his great namesakes did not even have wicked partners. “A contractor and a painter 'enter tain a crowd on Marietta street,” is the heading under which the Confuta tion announces a bloody fight in that city. The heading probably docs At lanta injustice. The people of Atlanta are surely not “entertained” by such savage exhibitions, and the Conitilulion should make the necessary correction. Let us hear from our friends in regard to prohibition, and who they propose to send to the Legislature on that issue. —Clarttville Advertiser. Under the lo cal option law, the same vote which would elect a prohibition candidate for tho Legislature would banish the sale of liquor from the county. Even if elected, the prohibition member from Habersham might fail to get his bill passed. Tho quickest and the surest way is tho best way. Settle the liquor question at home. Tho following agricultural outlook presents itself to the Union and Recor der : “The crop prospect at this writing is splendid. Itain has been a blessing in the past week, and now, with a week. or two of dry weather, during which time the wheat an- oats will tie cut and harvested, we may look hopefully to the future. The fruit is safe. The gardens are fine. With a good season in tho latter part ot June, verily may the plantation ne- I to May down, do hoe and take up de : iddle and do how.” Wise Words for the Georgia Press. Savannah Times, The Timet would suggest that inas much as the coming campaign will in volve tho election of a State and legis lative ticket in Geargia in addition to the choice of electors of President and Vice-President, the discussions of the public prints could be advantageously varied by the treatment of questions of important local interest. Among these questions may be noted a properly framed and comprehensive assessment law by the operations of which the burdens of taxation cjuld be equitably distributed. Another matter of importance is the need of a promising road law, such as would do away with tho unsatisfactory system of maintaining the public high ways now in use. Again the farmers of the State are cursed with the depre dations of worthless dogs whose rav ages should be checked. The needs our schools, too, require attention and the want of a school of technology is confessed by our most intelligent cit izens. Many other public needs that should bo supplied will occur upon re flection, the agitation of which cannot but prove instructive, if not profitable. The question probably of most im portance that is likely to come before the next General Assembly is the mod ification of the powers of the State Railroad Commission. Public opinion is steadily tending towards a curtailment of the Commission’s pow ers. But whatever tho effect of the discussion of this question, it should be conducted calmly and intelligently. The Georgia press can render the State good service by taking up the subjects above suggested, ana they are referred to now in the hope that their treatment will occupy the State press Sub-treasury balances: Colu 4128,893,, rency *10,518,000.

He said to-day that before thrj railroads were built he drove a team from Boston to South Caralina twice, and he wanted to see what improvements had been made, so he determined to make the trip on foot. He finds very few of tho old landmarks left, Capt. Anderson will re main here until to-morrow, when he will start for Washington, where he expects to remain a few days to look after his pen sion for military services rendered in the war of 1812. Hs carries 17 pounds of bag gage, and is accompanied bv a little dog which he says watches over him when he has to sleep out.

Tilden Crateful but Must Decline. New York Tribune. Albany, May 26.—On a recent visit to New York Lucius Robinson paid his re spects to Samuel J. Tilden at Greystone. It is understood that Mr. Tilden told ex- Governor Robinson that he had no inten tion of accepting the Democratic nomina tion for President. While be felt grateful for the unanimity with which the Demo cratic party favored his nomination, he did not think that at his time of life and his physical condition he could properly undertake the responsibilities of the Pres idency. He could not, therefore, accept the nomination if it were tendered to him. Prominent Democrats in Albany in Tll- den’s confidence confirm the substance of this statement and say that the letter of declination has already been written.
