NO LOSS.
Richmond banking and Insurance Compa-
ny-One Hundred Cents to the Dollar Prob
able for the Creditors.

| Yesterday IL was rumorcd that deed
bId been executed by certain parties,
which placed in the possession Of the Rich
mond Banking and Insurance Company
sufficient collateral to secure every cred
itor from the possibility OF loss.
People who had hitherto worn long
faces by reason OF having deposits in the
Richmond Banking and Insurance Com
pany's hands changed countcnance and
smiled at the news, although borne on the
wings Of rrmor. Believing il best 10 have
an authoritative statement OF the facts, a
| Dispatch reporter last night went out TO
| find Mr.. G. 4. Whitock, the trustee OF the
Richmond Banking and Insurance Com
pany. Mr.. Whitlock IL cautious man,
but after seeing the reporter he wrote the
following card:
"To the Public:
"Numerous inquiries having been made
OF me by parties who are creditors Of the
Richmond Banking and Insurance Com
pany. and having learned that many per-
sons are offering to sell their claims at q
large discount, think it proper to say that
from the present outlook am disposed to
believe that all the creditors will be paid
one hundred cents TO the stiollar Of their
debts. | make this statement that unne-
cessary loss may not result to those holding
| claims against the institution, basing my
conclusion chiefly upon the provision made
by Mr.. John B. Davis for the full payment
OF his individual debts TO the Richmond
Banking aud Insurance Company.
"CHARLES f.. WmTLOCK, Trustee.
"Septembcr %, 1882"
Other researches snow that there is but
little doubt Of the fact that Mr.. Davis ha,
already placed within reach Of the trustees
sufficient collateral to liquidate his entire
Indebtedness to the Banking and Insurance
Company, thereby keeping good the prom
Use made the morning the bank suspend
ed--to wit, that he would secure the hank
against loss. Mr.. Davis's course all through
this matter has been such as to win the
great respect OF every one, and will add to
the high reputation he has always enjoyed
as a most reliable and enterprising busi-
ncSs-inan.

A(Onyipf f.Seanos.

A day or two since a convict named
Bowscr, sentenced to the State prison from
Smyth county for term Of seven years,
succeeded in making his escape from the
penitentiary.
3OwScr is young man not over thirty
five years Of age, and j. Of a very active
and robust frame. Since his confinement
he has generally dcportcd himself with be-
coming decOrum. On the day upon which
he made good his escape he had been de-
| tailed along with several other cOnyicts 10
work Oh ihc building now bcinc erected
for the women confined in the pcnitcntiary.
With partner he wa3 set TO saving um-
Der near the stables just little in the rear
II where the other workmen and conyicts
were laboring. Finding himself unOb-
SerTed by Che guard, he slipped around the
stable ana disappeared from sight. After
awhile the guard saw Bowser's partner
idle, and going up to him asked him why
he was not at work. The convict
replied he was waiting for Bowser.
The guard went to look for the missing
man. but found only the convict suit Of
clothes lying in the weeds near the stable.
Bowser had dccamped for place that had
brighter inducements surrounding il, and
is no doubt now entertained at board
that is unanimous and harmonious, and be-
tween whom and the superintendent no
jealousy and chickering's exist. Some peo-
pie declare Bowser to be quite honest,
citing as proof OF this fact that he did not
carry away the prison property In the shape
OF the suit OF clothes provided FOR him by
the state. BOWser was tired OF them; {;
| they reminded him OF the sale OF guards
places and the wrangling Of the penitcn-
tiary officials.
When the escaped conyict's cell was Wis
tied il was found that he had taken other
steps for release from prison, and had dug
tunnel thirty feet long from his cell in the
| direction Of the outer walls OF the prison.
/ In few more days he would have marched
| to liberty through this tunnel, and pcrhsps
might have let others out also. The guards,
however. obligingly relieved Bowser OF
| this necessity.

LOCAL MATTERS.

NATURAL MIsTAKE.-The Dispatch re-
porter fell into a most natural mistake in
his report Of the Council proceedings YES
terday when he said that the Council had
appropriated 81 900 for the benefit OF the
Trades Parade.
The error occurred in thiswise. A call
ed meeting of the Council was held n
short time since for the purpose OF consid-
ering the propriety Of apprOpriating 81 900
Ior the Trades Parade. The resolution to
this effect was defeated by failure to re-
ceiye two-third vote. The vote was re-
considered and the matter recommtted to
the Finance Committee.
The report OF this committee as presented
to the Council Thursday favored the appro-
priation for the pump-h0use and water
works and was adverse to the Trades-Pa-
rade matter. The latter was not debated at
all, and when the reporter asked Clerk
Howard for the report Of the Finance Com
mittee he was handed the resolution re-
committed to the Finance Committee,
which strongly urged the appropriation Of
$1,000 for the Trades Parade.
President Ellyson, seeing that all the
taik had been about the water-wOrks and
none about the Trades Parade, hinted to
The Council the fact by saying that in voting
upon the report OF the Finance Committee
as whole that the Trades-Parade matter
was also included.
The report was adopted as whole, and
the reporter having failed to get his hand
upon the adverse recommendation Of the
committee, naturally supposed that. voting
to appropriate money for one object named
in the report carried with it all objects
named when the report was adopted as n
whole.

EouIxOx.-The autumnal equinox Is

sun at this time enters the first point OF
Libra, and all over the world the length OF

dov. On this account the cquinOctial line
is called the celestial equator. whether
celestial or not. any observant person VINO
takes a note of the weather is ready to re-
member that about the time OF both the
ycrnal and autumnal equinox cold weather
sets in. Sailors fear the equinoctlal gales
and farmers dread the storms. This year
is no exception to the general RUE, the
storm commencing yesterday with cool
northeast wind and steady fall OF rain.
ANYTHING. however, was n relief from the
sickenins September heat that for the past
four or five days has been endured. Pos
