CAPTAIN EAps' TROUBLE

Five columns Of the first page Of the Sun

that brought about the indictment Of Cap.
tain james B. Eads on . charge Of whole.
sale robbery. Captain Eads is the man Who
Quilt the great bridge across the Mississippi
at St. Louis, and who is now constructing
the jetties at the mouth of the came river.
The story tells how the solidest bank Of the
west was captured without capital. and ~.
ined without conscience, saying that Glass
gov methods we're anticipated by Eads and
his enterprising partners. The national
bank Of Missouri failed badly a little more
than a year ago, and is now in the hands Of
a receiver. Ex-Mayor Briton was for
twelve years president Of this bank, and
Eads, as one Of it's directors, had heen a
leading spirit in its management. Twelve
years ago, Eads, working with q capital of
brains only, raided and captured the bark
Of the state of Missouri. Its stock was
worth $3.50 for investment. To-day, after =
dozen years Of Ead.' bold fnanciering, the
stock is worth from IS to so per cent worse
than nothing. The wreck Of the bank OF
Missouri, like that of Glasgow, wa directly
due to the perversion of its funds and cred.

Without exception the surviving director.

among the no claled assets If the broken
bank are individual notes Of its directors
and of members Of their families to the

and his associates have been presented tc

the army can control the Indians much

after he had introduced his subject the cry
Of Fire! fire! fire." in the street very
much disturbed the congregation, and many
were about to retire. when and elderly Law
brother rose and said:
IF the congregation will he composed,
will step out and zee If there is any fire near
and report
The congregation became composed, and
the minister proceeded. Taking advantage
Of the occurrence. he called attention 10 .
| fire that would consume the world "a fire
that would bnrn forever in the lake that IL
bcttomless and had Just concluded sen-
sence Of terrible import, and not without
m anifest impression on his audience, when
. voice from the other end of the church
Al II in fat deniel Of all he said, bawled
out:

The effect was luaicrous in the extreme.
The old man returned; bst the inopportune
response spoiled the force Of a. eloquent
appeal from the pulpit, and even tie
preacher could scarce refrain from Joining
in the universal smile thst passed over the
congregation.-Ha~ihOs Tines.
