Clearing Honse Certificates.
VIVTBKIt' TnOVMAND DOI.I.AU8
HOW READY FOB CIHl’II-
NATION.
A Lmm «C Three Theanal Delian la
the Cl.r.l
At last the olearlng bouaecertificate
plan la successfully inaugurated In
Albany.
The tact that an objection had been
raised to the form of the certiflontea
which were ready for circulation laat
week, making it neceaaary to print a
new form, baa already been reported
by tbe Ukrai.d.
But tbe new form agreed upon by
the banka and approved by their
iegal adviaera la now ready, and the
Clearing House la ready to begin pay
ing them out.
Only fifty thousand dollars of the
certificates—$5,000 for each of the
three banka of tbe olty—have been
printed for the first aeries, and they
are in denominations of $1, $5 and $10.
Tbe city takes a loan of $3,000—11,000
from eaoh bank—and the bills will
probably be properly certified and
ready to deliver to the City Treasurer
to-night or to-morrow morning. The
el.ty will at once begin paying off if a
employes and current expenses with
tbe clearing house certificates, and
the “new money’’ will thus be put into
general circulation as local ourrenoy.
Everybody In Albany will take the
clearing house certificates, and they
will pass aa readily as silver dollars
or bank notes.
The fifteen thousand dollars now
Issued will probably have to be sup
plemented with nnuther Issue of like
amount within a few days, but they
will not be lasued iintil actually need
ed, as the banks propose to hold a
tight rein and adhere to a safe and
conservative schedule.

Mrs. C. M. Mayo, after a lingering
Illness of many months, died at 8

Mayo. -
Mrs. Mayo was In her sixty-ninth
year, and for many years had been a
consistent member of the Baptist
church. Last December, her husband,
Mr. O. M. Mayo, died, and, under that
bereavement, she began failing rapid
ly, until this morning, death came to
her relief; and how husband and wife
are together again—never to part.
About a year ago, Mrs. Mayo left
her home and moved to the Hotel Mayo
where she had the constnnt care and
attention of her daughter-in-law, Mrs.
Z. T, Mnyo, nnd grandchildren.
Mrs, Mayo lived n very quiet life,
but her worth nud noble traits ub
woman and a friend were highly ap
preciated by all who knew her well.
Bite leaves no children, as her only
son, Mr, Z. T. Mayo, died several years
ago. Her nearest living relatives are
her grandchildren, Mr*. J. F. Nelson,
Misses Zaokfe and Dollio Mayo nnd
Mr. Thomas Mnyo.
The funeral services took plnooTues-
day afternoon at. 8:80 o’clock, from tho
Hotel. Rev. K. II. Carroll conducted
the services and the remains were
laid beside those of her husband in
Oakvfew Cemetery.
The following gentlemen acted
as pall-bearers: Capt. Y. G-. Rust,
Messrs. ,T. M. Cutllir, T. N. Woolfolk,
Joseph Khriloh, M. Grille and Sam
Serutohens,
(Suffer Them in Come I nlo .Hr.

phoid fever. Mrs. Anderson is the
sister of Messrs. C. W. and J. J. Scott,
Tuesday afternoon the Death An

A St. Louis dispatch says that sev
eral St. Louis banks have received a
letter from the First National bank,
of Chloago, wblch Is accepted
as a declaration of war between
Chluago and New York. It comes In
the form of an explanation why Chl
oago cannot accept checks of New
York and other eastern points and
credit them at par. The most signifi
cant reasons advocated are as follows:
“Chicagobanks are paying currency.
The banks In New York and some of
the other larger eastern cities are
practically paying no currenoy now,
but oheoks on them, when presented
at their oounters, are certified ‘Good
through clearing house only.’ In the
clearing house balances are settled In
certificates. Money In New York
commands a premium over bank
cheoks of from X to 2 per cent; as
high as 8 per cent, has been paid. It
Is, therefore, evident that unless
Chicago can and will sell drufts on
New York at a discount about equal
to the premium paid on money there
nobody will buy them. On the con
trary, parties here having large re
mittances or payment" to make there
will draw oash, send It to New York
and sell It at a premium for bank
checks, which serve tbe purpose in
New York of general payment
This being in order to forestall such
an aotlon, Cliioago banks are trying to
sell their New York exohange at a
discount about equal, as already ex
plained, to the premium paid in New
York on ourrency. To a house obliged
to sell at a discount it is manifest that
however we might like to aocommo.
date our correspondents by contlnu-
mg to credit eastern exchanges at par,
we oannot do so while the condition
explained above prevails.”
The letter winds up by asking the
oo-operatlon of western backs gener
ally in their action, that Chloago and
tbe west may be kept on a cash basis.
It also alludes to the extraordinary
example made by Chloago to seoure
ourrenoy, such as the purchase of
transfed on London and Paris and the
dlreot importation of that guld. The
letter is signed by “Lyman J. Gage,
President.’’
Within four days, three homes have
been desolated by the hand of death.
The sad bereavement of Mr. and Mrs.
Tom Reynolds in the death of their
eight year old son, mention of whose
illness was made in Saturday’s Hxa-
ald, Is well known. Many fond hopes
were centered In their bright, manly
boy whose body was consigned to the
grave Suuday afternoon.
The sympathies of the entire com
munity go out to these bereaved pa
rents, who are struggling with griefs
too deep for words to reach, but may
it comfort them to know that their lit
tle ones are safe from sickness, sorrow
aud temptation, forever with Him,
who said: “Of such is the Kingdom
of Heaveu.”
The soare seems to be over In Bruns
wick. The fever there, it is believed,
is entirely stamped out.

The readers of the Hkhald will
member that some time ago, Mr. W.
T. Cox, of this olty, while in the north
ern markets, lost his pooket book oun-
taining about $60 in money and a few
pnpers, Aftur returning homo and
giving up his money as lost, Mr. Cox
was surprised one day nt the receipt of
a letter from Mr. Geo. L. Goodrich, of
Newnrk, N. J., saying that ho hall
found the money and that the owner
oould obtain same by describing con
tents. Mr. Cox immediately wrote to
Mr. Goodrich describing the pocket-
book.
And now from tho following letter
It will be seen how nnd why Mr. Cox’s
money was sent to him :
Nkwahk, N. J., Aug. 28, 1883.
Mr. W. T. Cox, Albany, Gn.:
Dkak Silt—I was much pleased nt
receiving your letter this morning nnd
you don’t, know wlmt a satisfaction it
Is to me to llnd the right owner. I
thought this way I have taken—
although a long way—would be the
surest; so 1 take great plensure in ex
pressing to you your pooketbook and
contents. 1 found it where it had lain
for probably about two hours. After
1 had examined it, nnd, of oourse, con
sulting my wife, 1 decided to tnke the
steps that I have taken. After lliidlng
it, 1 went soveral times to tho place
where I found it, and around the boat
but did not see anyone anxiously look
ing for something lost, and no wonder
I did not, for It was about that time
you was deciding to have a restaurant
dinner rattier that one at a hotel. But
na i did not tlnd tho owner I wrote as
booh as l arrived at Oak Ilill where
we were going to spend ten days.
Now Mr. Cox, 1 consider this act not
as any of honor, but as man’s duty to
man and God. If it bad not been for
the Knight of Pythias receipt I should
not have known whore to hnve located
yon, but being u Knight myself _
obtained your address through the
Chancellor Commander of said lodge,
Hoping that the once lost will ar
rive all right, I am, yours truly.

A letter received a few days ago
Mr. C. G. Barfoot from his mother ...
England, announces the safe arrival
in the old oountry of Mrs. Walter
Lloyed and baby, the widow and child
of tho unfortunate young man who
was drowned, under such sad circum
stances, in Flint river several mouths
ago.
The letter states that Mrs. Lloyed and
the little one are both well. Mrs.
Lloyed joins with the writer, who is
her husband's mother, in extending
heartfelt thanks to the people of Al
bany who so kindly assisted the af-
llicted family in their deep sorrow,
and brightened those dark days.

A full board of Aldermen responded'
to the call of Mayor Gilbert Tues
day afternoon at 5:30 o’clock, for a
apeclal session of the Counoil in City
Attorney Wooten's office.
His honor first stated that action
was necessary relative to the resigna
tion of lireman Hall, one of the paid
corps of the department, who desired to
be released at once, In order to accept
a more lucrative position. ’Ills resig
nation was accepted, and on motion of
Alderman Wight, the Chief and fore
man of the company were empowered
to appoint his successor.
The terms < f the olty tax assessors
for 1803 having expired, motions for
the election of a new board were de-.
dared in order. Without a dissenting
vote the present efficient board—Dr.
P. L. Ililsman, Messrs. A. P. Greer and
R. H. Warren—was re-elected.
Alderman Clark, Chairninn of the
finance committee, reported that he
would be able to borrow $3,000 for city
purposes at 10 per cent, and requested
instructions in the matter. It was
dually decided advisable to effect the
loan, and the financial wheels of city
government will again run smuothly
for a season.
Mayor Gilbert stated that the fish
dealers were chafing under the reso
lution adopted by council at a recent
meeting preventing the bringing of
fish from eeaport towns into Albany
for market. The matter was, arter a
short discussion, refered to the Mayor,
who la to pursue whatever course the
city physician may sanotlon.
As the fall term of the Albany High
School Is anon to begin, the water
works nnd aewer connections that are
contemplated there by the city ought
to be made at onoe, and Council was
requested to take some aotlon relative
thereto.
It la feared that if the ground ia
torn up just at this season, sickness
might be oaused, and a resolution was
passed requesting the health commit
tee and City Phyaioian to investigate
and report baok at the next meeting
of Council, whioh will probably be
called for that purpose,
No further business, Counoil ad
journed.
