following: Some of the recent loans of the

among Bank of America, (SGOO, 0O0) Man
haitian Savings Institution, (SlO0,OOO) Jay
Gould (S4OO,OOO) and Moses Taylor
$500, O0O). All these loans are thoroughly
secured by bonds, which even at the market

AN EXCITING RUNAWAY.

" =
Yesterday afternoon, about 8 15
o'clock, the residents in the vicinity
OF Sixteenth and Market streets, were
startled from their customary COM
posure by hearing loud rumbling
noise. Hurrying to their doors they
were almost Mortified to see a horse
and mule attached to large wagon
loaded with barrels running down the
street at a breakneck speed. Al Six
teenth and Market the animals turned
quickly and started for the bridge
At first they ran towards Leafs mill,
and nuribor of employees ran back
into the mill, in order to be out of the
way should the crash come. Just as
the frightened animals neared the mill
they swerved to the left and stated for
the bridge. They hit the passage
used by teams coming into town, and
went across the bridge like FASH
As they reached the other side officer
Dinsmole and young man named
Ward, who were standing there start
ed after the team, and succeed in stop
ping them before reaching Eighteenth
and Market. Fortunately no damage
was done outside number of barrels
falling off the wagon: but had there
have been team coming into town at
the time the runaway team entered
the bridge, there is but little doubt
that there would have been a serious
accident, and perhaps some one killed.
The team belonged to Philip Nc

The ArlIsU Worm.
Court.

A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun,
writing of his remedy against this invad-
ing enemy of the farmer, says:
We notice in the Sun that a gentleman
in Kent county, Nd, has saved his crop
Of wheat and corn from the ravages OF
the army worm by the use OF salt sprinkl-
ed in ditch dug eighteen inches deep.
Had Kent couHty been visited by as large
au army as we had this remedy would
have proved very expensive, and, we
think, Intellectual. Our bitches are made
concave in shape, and are only SIX to
eight inches deep, with pits, holding
from one to two Bushels each, dug about
every fifty feet. ALI Of this is done at a
comparatively small cost, and the worms
concentrating in the pits can be destroy
ed by the use Of Goa oil. which is less
expensive than the salt. The ditch, by
this means, is kept clean of dead worms
which, If allowed TO accumulate, would
prove bridge for others to pass over.
Our method has proved effec:usl in saw
ing nearly two hundred acres of our
Egyptian sweet corn and has been
successful where ever tried.
