1t was rumored in Wall street on Friday after
noon that Sessums & Co., q heavy cotton hrm OF
Galveston, Texas, had vlctimized certain bankers
OF New York City to the tune Of over half q mill
lien dollars by drawing against cotton which had
never been shipped. The gossips had 1t that Nor
ton. Bliss 4 Co., Gardner, Bacon Co., Williams
4 Guion, and several others, had been victlmi5ed.
The true story Of the alleged swindle is suossan-
TALLY as follows: About six weeks ago Aessrs
sessums & Co., OF Galveston, drew on firm iu
New York for considerable amount, tout not 80
much as the gsssips said,l expecting to- cover
their draft BY 4 shipment or cotton. This cotton
they had Id the press. and were unable to ship
because OF the weather. Soon after drawing on
the New York house Sessums B Co. were forced
to suspend, and their creditors In Galveston SELF
ed the cotton In press. or course, under these
circumstances, they could not ship the cotton to
New York to cover their draft. Since the trans
action, sessums i Co., It .is said, resumed busi
ness, and will probably meet all their drafts.

was in terrible qusndary. He ran for the phy

who smillngly examined the "booo," and as
cured the Diva that it was but the outcrepping o.
spring. She refused to be comforted, and salt
that she had seen several celebrated doctors
among the audience, and they should be con
suited. No sooner said than done. These skllfu
practitioners quite confirmed the announcement
Of their cenfrere, aud at last after the audience
had patiently waited some three-quarters Of an
hour, the eSntatrice condescended to finish the
opera A few nights later she fancied she was
growing hoarse, and announced that she would
not nnish the performance. Again was the dis

duly created sn the alarm possible, the Diva gra
ciously concluded to go on.
The war Of the Philadelphia medical students
Is over. 1t Is ended by compromise, which, Ii
