New YORK, April 14.-The stock market

Trunk Line stocks being prominent
therein. Elevated Railway shares were ex-

the general list advancing from to 21s
per cent, the latter in Northern Pacific pre-
ferred, while Elevated Railway properties

DAKOTA'S DISASTER.
The Prisoners of the Ice GOrges-
Appeal In Behalf of the Sufferers.

YANKToN, D. T., April 14.-One hundred
and thirty persons were rescued from May
Vile on Tuesday night, where they had been
surrounded by water and ice for two weeks.
There are twenty families in the river bend,
fifteen miles below here, who cannot be
rescued on account of the fields Of heavy
ice surrounding them. They have not been
heard from since the food covered the bot
tom, and great anxiety is felt for their
safety.
The following address has been issued by
the committee appointed for that purpose:
"There is need for immediate aid to put q
stop to the suffering which prevails. The
make statement to the public Of
the situation caused by the overflow
of the Missouri river. For two
weeks large area of bottom
lands, extending many hundreds of miles
along each side of the river, have been sub
merged by water and heavy masses of ice.
A large share of this land is, or was, well
settled. All the stock is lost. Dwellings,,
churches, stores, schoOlhouses, and even
whole villages are demolished and swept
away. In many instances groups of fami-
lies who had taken refuge in the larger
buildings are still imprisoned in the gorged
ice, and cannot be reached by the most
determined efforts.
Careful estimate shows that at least seven
thousand people are driven from their
homes. or this number at least one-half
lost everything but the clothing they had
on, and will need aid for from one
to three months. The citizens in
the vicinity have done, and are do
ing all in their power to save
and help the sufferers. The government
will issue rations to a certain extent. but
after all this has been done there will still
be great need of money and clothing, and
also OF grain for planting"
The address is signed by acting Governor
Hand, the Mayor of Yankton, and several
prominent citizens of that city.
1t has been ascertained that the gorge,
which has caused the floods upon the bot
tom lands. extends from Yankton to Yer
million, following the river channel for more
than thirty miles, while solid ice rises in
places to a height of thirty feet above the
surface of the water. Nothing but ex-
tremely warm weather or the use Of power
full explosives will release it.

THE CITIZENS BANK.
why II Closed = Property Upon
which it Could Not Realize.

ATLANTA, GA, April 14.-The cause of
the failure of the Citizens Bank was num-
bsr of debts for which property instead of
money had to be taken. The property could
not he converted into cash. A recent court
decision gives the State priority in settle
ment of bank claims. This had the effect
of alarming depositors, who made rush,

not be severe.

This is for strong minded women only

This is for strong minded women only:
There is some advantage in a husband,
some times. Sonora Raldomera opened
a hank in Madrid, Spain, for her poor
neighbors. When 3,000, GOO francs were
deposited, she made off with the money
to Paris, but was captured and brought
back to Spain. The court decides that a
woman cannot carry on banking busl-
ness without her husbands authority,
and, therefore, Sonora Baldomera's opera
tions were irregular. The depositors
viii not get cent, and the Sonora can
spend their money with impunity, where
as, if women had their rights in Spain,
she would probably spend the remainder
of her life in penitentiary,

AUGUSTA, April 14.-President Phinizy,
OF the Georgia Railroad, said today the
Georgia Railroad bank would continue
as before in this city. 1t has a fine patron
age here, and is not seriously incommoded
by the withdrawal Of the railroad deposits.
Tor half the time the railroad had over
checked its account at this bank,
anyway. 1t has on hand s3l5, 600
surplus, which can be either
paid out to stockholders as an extra diyi-
dend or kept as sinking fund. Mr.. Phinizy
faVors the latter plan. The Georgia Rail-
road will still be responsible for the liabili-
ties of the bank, as the law does not reeog-
nize the lessees as owning the road. 1t will
continue to be State depository, and what
1t makes viii be added TO the rental Of the
Georgia Road to pay dividends.
Mr.. Phinizy said this evening that he never
heard of the Richmond and Danville offer
ing twelve per cent. to Georgia Railroad
stockholders.
The report was rife here this afternoon
that the South Carolina Railroad, or rather
AAts " SuACJ anu HIS dSSDClhJC5y UdQ I6aSeQ
the Central also. Mr. Phinizy characterized
the rumor as absurd. He said the Central
Road could not be leased, neither could its
stock be watered. The Central Railroad
attorney had given that as ais opinion some
time ago. Central stock is firm at 12S and
operators arc buying it up freely.
The Augusta and Knoxville Road had an
offer to-day from a syndicate to take up the
remaining 1920, 900 of the bonds at ninety
five. 1t is said that some of the stock is
already on the market.
The failure OF the Citizens Bank OF At
lanta is thought to be very remarkable here,
during such prosperous times, and the opin-
Ion prevails that its operations must have
been of the highest risk and in most unsta-
bic securities. The banks here are all
healthy, money being scarce, however, on
account # the recent heavy stock operations,
which have left capitalists mostly with
New York exchange. 1t is rumored that
some financial tightness prevails in Atlanta
on account of the failure of the Citizens
Bank. It is not thought that the sureties
on the $4,000 bond for State deposits in
that bank are worth that amount.
