For $35,000 Damages by a Merchant

plaintiff’s ing words standing occurred: in which the follow¬
“It is unfavorably regarded by the
local trade, who do not think it advisa¬
ble to grant him the extension asked for.
His methods have been criticised ever
since he has been here, and those consult¬
ed now claim to have never had any con¬
fidence in him. There was an atticle in
a local paper charging him with hypo¬
crisy, dishonesty an I immorality. Up to
this time the charges have not been
refuted.”
Plaintiff alleges that said statement is
malicious and slanderous, and was made
with a view and for the purpose of injur¬
ing him and preventing his creditors
from granting him the respite asked for.
BANK BADLY BUSTED
As Only $34 Were Left Out of $140,
000 Deposited.
Mich., A dispatch State of Monday from Milford,
says: Bank Examiner Sher¬
wood closed the Milford State bank Sep¬
tember 16th and reported that the bank
had failed. “Failed” is a mild word to
use in reference to this institution. The
bank was established sixteen years ago as
a national bank. The principal promoters
were the Wilhelm brothers and relatives,
with a fine line of directors. One was
ex-Governor J. W. Beal, of Flint. The
Wilhelms were young men who were
known as “hustlers,” and they went into
all sort! of speculation. They and their
relatives owned the controlling stock.
The bank had deposits as high as $140,
000. The morning after the bank exara
ers had taken charge there were only $34
in cash in the bank. The assets showed
$142,709 and the liabilities $132,685, but
it is hard to see how the assets can be
made to yield over $15,000. Worthless
loans, crazy Kansas boom real estate,
patent rights, speculations and poor per¬
sonal paper represent the balance.
HEAVY SNOW FALL
All Along the Atlantic Coast-—Eight
Inches at Norfolk.
A dispatch from Norfolk, Va., says:
A blizzard, of severity almost unknown
in this section, struck the city, beginning
at about 2 o’clock Sunday morning, ac¬
companied by sleet, which later turned
into heavy snow, which now lies seven
or eight inches deep on a level, and has
drified much deeper in places. Street and
car travel has been interrupted, a
semblance of a schedule is only kept up
by clearing the way with snow plows.
This is the earliest snowstorm in Norfolk
since the signal office was established
there in 1871, and the heaviest ever
known to take place before New Year.
The worst snowstorm in years also
prevailed at Fortress Monroe.
Quite a heavy snowstorm is reported
from Wilmington, N. C. At Weldon
seven inches of snow fell. At Battle
boro, six inches; Rocky Mount, five
inches. Snow fell all along the line of
the Wilmington and Weldon railroad.
STRIKING MINERS.
■uore Trouble Expected in the Indiana
Coal Fields.
As a result of a miners’ meeting, held
at Washington, David county, Indiana,
Friday night, 500 more miners struck
Saturday morning. This brings the num¬
ber of miners now on strike in Indiana up
to about four thousand. There is great
rejoicing among the Brazil miners, as the
Washington county men had held out
against all overtures up to the present
time. While the Indiana miners are idle
this lust accession to the strikers’ ranks
will make the supply of Indiana coal
practically nothing.
GAVE UP THEIR TITLE
And Rights to the T hrone in Order to
Join Their Fortunes.
A Vienna, Austria, dispatch says: At
Hofburg, Sunday, an imposing and
highly important ceremony was perform¬
ed when Archduchess Louise, of Tuscany,
and Prince Frederick Augustus, of Sax¬
ony, renounced their title and rights to
the Austrian throne. This was done as
a necessa:/ step before the marriage ox
the young couple, which took place in
the presence of the Austrian court and
and ministers and a large assembly of
distinguished' people.
Reducing Mortgages.
A Topeka, Kan., dispatch of Monday
says: Official report of mortgages re¬
corded and released in fifty of the eastern
counties of Kansas shows that a reduc¬
tion of $302,407 in mortgage indebted¬
was made during October. For five
the net reduction of farm-mort¬
indebtedness in eastern and central
Kansas was $2,300,100. The excess of
releases on farm property is proportion¬
ately greater than on town property.
HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
TO BOIL HOMINY.
A half-pint of largo hominy is sufficient
for a family of average size. It swells
4o four times its original bulk, Put it
on the fire in plenty of cold water as
soon after breakfast as possible, in order
to allow it plenty of time to become
thoroughly cooked before dinner. When
the water (tries out, add more, but let it
be hot. Four hours at least are required
for the grains to become thoroughly
softened and done, when it is a most
wholesome and palatable article of food.
When ready to be dished for dinner, add
a teaspoonful of butter, and mix it in
thoroughly,
A FONDU OF EGOS.
A fondu is a preparation of eggs,
cheese and butter. Parmesau cheese is
very often used in a fondu, but any
good cheese will do. Grate two ounces
of cheese into a cooking pan, add half a
teaspoonful of salt and a pinch ol
cayenne; mix in a quarter-pound of
butter iuto the melted cheese, add the
beaten yolks of six eggs and stir thor¬
oughly. Beat the whites of six eggs to
a froth and add carefully to the other in¬
gredients. Pouv the mixture into little
porcelain-lined patty-pans and bake the
fondus in a moderate oven for fifteen
minutes and serve very hot .—Neio York
Tribune.
A NICE MINCE LOAF.
A very nice mince loaf is made as fol¬
lows: To the pieces cut from a stewed
knuckle-bone of veal or mutton add a
small cooked slice of bacon and a small
onion which has been sliced and fried
brown in half a teaspoonful of butter.
Chop very fine, season with a quarter
of a teaspoonful of pepper, Break
in an egg and mix lightly into a
loaf. If the bacon has not seasoned it
sufficiently add half a teaspoonful of
salt. Have a small baking dish buttered.
Then take a cupful of cold boiled rice
or hominy and line the dish thinly, bot¬
tom and sides. Put in a layer of the meat
and another of rice without butter. Put
over the top a layer of fine bread¬
crumbs, lay the bits of butter evenly over
them and bake in a moderate oven for
half an hour. It should be brown and
crisp. When cold, slice this and serve
for luncheon in a dish trimmed with
parsley. Good beef, mutton or pork
dripping will often effectually take the
place of butter, with even more savory
results .—New York World.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Washing old silk in beer is said to
give it a luster almost equal to that pos¬
sessed when new.
Catsup keeps better and pickks also if
you put a bit of horseradish in the
mouth of the bottle.
Kerosene will soften boots and shoes
that have become hard from bing wet,
and reader them as pliable as ever.
Twelve pounds of peaches, six pounds
of sugar and one pint of vinegar is a
good proportion for pickled peaches.
A perfume lamp, which burns cologne
and spreads a pleasant scent abonfc the
room, is among the late household nov¬
elties.
To remove ink stains from wood, use
strong muriatic acid, rubbed in with a
cloth; afterward wash off well with
water.
In boiling meat for soup use cold
water to extract the juice3, but if the
meat is wanted for itself alone put into
boiling water.
When washing fine white flannels add
a tablespoonful of pulverized borax to a
pailful of water. This will keep them
soft and white.
A pound of sulphur burnt in a tightly
closed room will destroy every living
thing in it, from moths and bed bugs to
possible disease germs.
When decorating rooms for reception
use one kind of flowers for each room,
as roses for one, carnations for another,
violets in another, etc.
If doughnuts are cut out an hour be¬
fore they are fried, to allow a little time
for rising, they will be much lighter.
Try cutting at night and frying in the
morning.
If the hands are rubbed on a stick of
celery after peeling onions the smell will
be entirely removed. Onions may be
peeled under water without offense to
eyes or hands.
The leaves of the peach tree, a few at
a time, put into the boiling milk of a
custard or blancmange and removed be¬
fore it cools into shape give a delicate
almond flavor.
The flavor of a young roasted chicken
is greatly improved if you place' Ynside
it a piece of fresh butter the size of a
walnut and with it a bouquet of parsley
and a small onion.
Aged people, invalids or those who
have feeble digestion or suffer from dull¬
ness, as well as growing children, will
be greatly benefited by taking sweet
cream in liberal quantities.
To cure a felon, wind a cloth loosely
about the finger, leaving the end free.
Pour in common gunpowder until the
affected part is entirely covered; then
keep the powder wet with strong spirits
of camphor.
Steaming the face at night over a bowl
of very hot water, and then bathing it
with very cold water, is the simple
method of giving it a Russian bath and
will tend to make the skin whiter and
smoother and the flesh firmer.
