PREFERED DEATH TO-DISGRACE Two Busted Bankers of Berlin Blow Out Their Brains. An Associated Press di-patcli to the At lanta Constitution from Berl n, Germany, states that a sensation was caused in fi nancial and social circles in that city Sat - urday by the collapse of the banking in stution of Friedlander & Summerfield. The usual scenes ol excitement among depositors anxious to secure their money, occurred around the offices of the firm, and the effi ct upon the creditors may be imagined when announced that the i- a t tng partner of the concern, together with his son, had committed suicide. The failure is as-oeiated with the recent sus pension of Baukers Hitwhfield & Wolff. As the facts in the case de veloped, it appeared that the father and son met in their office in the bank at an early hour in the morning and discussed the crisis in their affairs Af ter talking over the matter, pro and cod, they concluded that, as they w<re hope -I<ss y embarrassed, they would die. It is understood that this resolut on to take their own lives was due, in a great meas ure. to the fact that their atnst on a criminal charge was impending. Hav ing arrivi and at the decisiou that death was Dit-fferable to arrest and disgrace, both father and son shot themselves in the head, using revolvers. The firm has been in existence for a long time, and held a good position in the fi nancial world. It had a solid reputation as a steady-giing house. Its customers, who belonged ct'ieflv to the middle cls-, were scattered thn ughout the, empire. The police took charge of the firm’s office, and have placed seal- upon the safes. DEATH IN THE MINE.

A dispatch of Saturday from Knoxville fays: With t ie information from Nash vi le that the convicts are to be leturned comes the que-tion, “W’ill there be a ba tie between the troops or guards and the convicts?” A knowledge of the sit uut on and of the past acts warrants the opinion that theie will be none if string forces arc sent to protect he convicis. A small force would be attacked, and there night be bloodshed in that evi nt. A mao, whose opinion is worth quoting, says: “I here w ould have been no trouble if suffici utiy large loices aud prompt action liud been taken in the beginning of the trouble. The miners never in ttndod to kill any one or to get killed themselves But they feel so exultant over their past victories ihat they’will go slid further, unl< ss very vigorous measures are taken. A -trong force, however, will prevmt any possible fight.” A man in sympathy with the miners, ami who sustains tin m in their actions, says there is certain to be a battle if the cot cts are token bai k. He says they sra neavily aimed and defy the entire state to maintain the convicts in the Coal creek district. A Nashville dispatch says: Chief of Pol ce Kilgo reached the city Saturday morning with fifteen more recaptured convicts, making 160 that have now been placed in the. main pri on.

Another dispatch from Nashville says: There is one question to be rettled be lore the recaptured convicts will be re turned to the scene oft Heir recent release, and in that qu stion the almighiy .dollar is involved. The leses have formally dei landed that the state return the con victs to the Anderson couniy mines and p wide a mi iiary escort for their protec ts >o. The state officials have replied tfiut the convicts may be taken l ack, but that it shall he by civil escor , the lessees to take as many guards as th< y desire, and make thes%own relec ions. The explanati on of the tiouble is that if Governor Buchanan ordeis out a military cscoi t the stute would h .ve to foot the expenses, while*the lessres would have to pity the civil escort* Ti e im n will not be taken back un* th‘ question is settled. The state has already paiofcout $5,137.84 in rewards for convict t and expe se ©f their return. The lessees re fused to pay the accounts, and they were paid by Comptroller Alien, and the ies seea will be held liable. STATUS OF THE MAVERICK.

Tnis stateme t is gratifying, in that it -how- less than $3,000,000 of individual deposits outside oi deposits of banks and bankers at the time of the failure. The Maverick had a very large business, its outward mail averaging from six to eight hundred letters per day, but everything is found thus far to have been systemat ic dly conducted and all ac'ountsbd -uce upon the books. The on y difference thus fir annou ced is tie i adequite c llateral behind loans to directors. There \vaß..no blanket end rsement <>n fie, as has ben stated. All notes and eudorsemen's were ] roperly and regularly male within the fitter of the law. The comptroller promises a prompt and satis factory divide a nd.

Adjutant General NormanD has shipped a large supply of guns and ammunition to both places, Tracy City has a force of guards that could defend the substant al stockade at that point ag.inst any number.

Must Not Again March Under a Confederate Flag. A disi atcu ot Saturday lrom Albany, N. Y., states that Geneial Palmer, com nander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, h-s just made public an order scoring members of the Grand Army of the Republic for marching in the parade of confederale veteran* at the re cent unvcilmg of the G>ady monument at Atlanta, where the confederate flag was carrie f and di-piayed. Among other th ngs the older says: "We cannot afford to lose sight of the valor that achieved victory for right. We can never f rget what the contest C ist us in blood and treasure. We must not forget that Icyalty to the country is oot mere sentiment, but that it r< quires devotion to principle, and that principle means tnat the flag which every union soldier stood ready to defend with his 'ife must now be saluted with honor. One of the great principles of our organ zation is to leach the rising generation loyalty to the country and fidelity to duty. Union soldiers have repeatedly said to the soldiers of the south, ‘We have no desire to arouse sectional ani mosities or passious eni-eudered by the war. Give us loyalty and in return we will give you fraternity.’ "You have demonstrated your fraterni ty on numerous occasions, but when com rades joined in the recent ceremonies in honor of ihe mi mory of a patriotic jour nalist and philanttuopist, they found their fraternity confronted with the em blem of treason, which is evidence tn you that there still lurks in the hearts of a few the desire, by the displny of that flag, to fire the Hearts of the young generation -outh to rebelism.” The order closes with the following paragraph; "With these words of admonition, I have sufficient co fi lence in your honor and fidelity to the principles of the order to feel that there will be no further par ticipation in sny demonstration or parade where the emblem of treason is carried or displayed. Let the cause which tri umphed in war be mainta ned in com pleteness of its victory and the fullness of its significance.” NOVEMBER COTTON. Returns to the Agricultural Depart* ment for the Month. A Washington dispaUh of Tuesday says: Cotton returns of the department of agriculture for November is not fav- r nb'e for a high rate of yield, the latene-s of the crop, extremes of temperature, ex cess of rainfall, followed by drought, causing enfeebled vitality afid loss of foilage and fruit, have been unfavorable for a large crop. On the northern bor der of the belt killing frost- occurred on tne 20th; in some places ss early as the 23d. West of the Missis-ippi there ha been some improvement during the past mouth. The reason has been very fa vorable for picking. The qualty is al nv st everywhere reporter! high, and the fabric is of good color and unusu dly free from trash. The yield ns avc aged from county estimates averages 179 pounds per acre, distributed by states as f dtows: Virginia, 151; North Carolina. 178; South Carolina, 100; Georgia, 155; Flor ida, 120; Alabama, 155; Mississippi, 190; L uiisiana, 200; Tex s, 195; Arkansas, 210; Tennessee, 170. As killing Irosts have not yet be n. general in the southern and western sections of the belt it is pos-ible, wi h favorable weather following, that current expectations may be slightly ex eeded. PLENTY OP CORN. Statistical returns for November make the corn crop one of the laigest in volume, with a rate of yield slightly above an average of 26 bushels per acre Tne con dition h; s not been very high at any period of its growth, but it has been qu te uniform, with no record of more tha i 10 per cent of disabilities from all causes, fihe highest rate of yield, as estimated, appears in New England, from 35 to 40 bushels per acre; in the south the range is from 11 in FI rida to 25 in Maryland. Much of the crop is yet in stock, and its condition aud rate of yield may he some what better knowm after garnering and marketing. Yet it is evident the prod uct will not bole-s than 2 000,000 bushels, or 31 bu-hels per unit of popula tion. PARNELL’S SUCCESSOR Is a Political Opponent of the Great Irish Leader.
