Report.

this morning on the wharves in the rear of

and W. n & s. L. Emory, dealers in Goa.
and wood, and Freeman & Co. Their losses
were mostly covered by insurance.
DR.. Bigelow, Of Alexandria, one of the
members of the Grand Jury who reached
Baltimore this morning, says that the state
nsnt that Mrs j. Gilliugham, foreman OF
the Grand jury bad declined TO serve as q
member thereof after hearing the charge Of
Judge Underwood, is incorrect. MIR. Gil
ingham had never served on Jury before
and simply requested TO be excused from
acting as foreman, stating as his reason,
that he was afraid he was incapable to fill
the position. He made no objection what
ever to serve as a member of the jury.
The Failure Of Rayne & Co.
The results Of the failure of Messrs.
Bayne & Co., Of this city, already known to
the public as the prime cause of the failure
of the Merchants National Bank of Wash
ington, proves to have been more disastrous
financially, than at first supposed. Four OF
our city banks at least are sufferers. One
of the oldest and most reliable is said to
have lost about S39O,OO0, which will NO
doubt somewhat curtail the dividends for q
time, and the others are said to have lost
100000 by the same operation. Besides
these losses many private individuals have
lost largely.
