PAINFUL ACCIDENTS.

Mrs. Watts, middle aged lady, who
resides a short distance from here with her
brother, Thos Vandyke, met with pain
full accident last week, by falling down
stairs. The injuries she received were at
first pronounced fatal, by her physicians,
but she is at present in very hopeful con-
dition, and is thought will soon be well.
The oldest son of VIM. Rowans was
playing in the street, Friday, May 18th, and
being unobserved by a lady who was driv-
ing along. was struck by her horse and
knocked down, the fore wheel of the car
riage passing over his shoulder, very seri-
ously njuring the little fellow. The driver
was thought to act in an unfeeling manner
for she never stopped to apologize, or offer
any sympathy. 1t is a warning to children
to keep out of the street while playing.

THE BANK OF ENGLAND.

Few who read Of the Bank Of Eng
land have any real idea OF the vaStness
of this greatest of the financial lnstl-
buttons of the world. London IS sort
of clearinghouse for all civilized ma
lions, and around the Bank OF England
the commercial world may be SAD TO
revOlve. The greatest amount or de-
posits in the whole of the New Ork
banks has rarely. if ever. exceeded
$3.50 900. 900: those in this one London
bank have reached more than half that
sum. or $l5O.OOO, 900. The New York
hanks loans have varied sometimes
S.. OOO. 900 or $50, 600, 900 week; IN one
week last May, during panic. the
loans by the Bank of England rose over
$50, 900, 900, and reached $loo, OOO,OOO,
or more than half the highest sum ev-
er reached by the fifty-nlne associated
banks of New York. The greatness
of the deposits is remarkable, especl-
ally as the bank pays no interest on
them. and is surrouded by institutions
that do. Another not less remarkable
fact is that nearly 40 per cent Of these
deposits-at one time nearly .ttty
million dollars--was placed in the bank
bv private bankers, despite the lack
of interest. All these things show
what is the real function Of this vast
establishment-security. 50 desirable
is safety that the owners Of $3.50 ,OOO,-
900 prefer to keep it in the bank
vaults without interest, rather than
trust it elsewhere. The other func
ton the bank has undertaken-to con
troll the money market--lt has failed
to achieve; but the safety it give tt
funds has doubtless contributed mucf
to lower the rate of interest in Lon
don. Great care and pains are takel
to secure this safety. Every nigh
twenty-five soldiers of the regular ar
my are detailed to guard the bank; and
for the directors and managers, mel
of the highest character are selected
The movement of it's deposits l
watched with eagerness, and 1T ha
even been said that whenever the

THE SHERMANS AND EWlNCS.
General Ewng's Views on important Cues
tons.

Much has been written about the
Shermans and the EWlngS, but never
could understand the relations be-
tween the two families. Yesterday l
ran across person familiar with their
histories, who gave me facts that have
never been in print.
There were eleven of the Sherman
children. The old Sherman mansion
stills stands on the hill, at Lanchas
ter. Ohio, n house Or two removed
from the old Ewing homestead. The
head of this large family was Judge
Sherman, Il Judge of the Supreme
Court of Ohio in its earliest days. He
was a Connecticut ankee, and a
rrand-nephew of old Revolutionary
Sherman. He came to the new coun-
try in the early settlement of Ohio, or
rather shortly after its admission to
the Union. An intimacy was formed
between him and Senator Tom Ewing
which lasted until Sherman S sudden
death, which occurred at Lebanon,
Ohio. in 1923, of cholera. He left
eleven children and q small property.
The eldest. Charles Sherman, lives at
Cleveland, was u Judge and dlsgraced
himself by certain unjudgly transac-
tions Il few years since. JIM sherman
the secsnd son, was Il merchant,
loving whisky better than business.
He has been dead some years. VIM
II. Sherman. the General, was the third
son. He was bright boy, and Xom
Ewing took fancy to him, and. not
withstanding he had four boys and
two girls of his own. he took the boy
al 40 l.; no, n
stone. Through the Ewing influence
young Sherman was sent to Yves
Point by Tom Richey of Perry Count,
who was one of the few Representa-
tives of the young State in Congress
During his residence in the Ewin:
family he formed the attachment
which led to his happy marriage to on
of the two Ewing girls. Lampsol
