LIABILITY OF BANKS AS Co11EcroRs


The Supreme Court of the United
States lately rendered an important opin-
ion on a question of wide interest,
touching the liability of banks in the
matter of notes left with them for col
lection. Two notes had been sent to a
banking firm in Natchez, Miss. The
bank was ignorant of the residence or
place of business of the maker, and
simply turned over the notes when they
became due to a notary, who was in
structed to demand payment, and in case
of non-payment to protest them and
notify the indorsers. The notary did
not exercise due vigilance in order to
find the maker, and the notes were pro-
tested. One of the indorsers was sued
for the amount, but escaped liability on
the ground of the notary's negligence.
The holder thereupon brought an action
against the bank. The Supreme Court
holds that the bank was not liable for
the notary's neglect, although it had
made no effort to ascertain the place of
business or residence of the maker of the
notes. eff the employment of a notary
public for that object" says the
court, referring to finding the maker and
demanding payment, twas sanctioned
by the usage of bankers, or by the law,
as declared by the courts of the State,
instead of making the presentment and
demand personally they could have
placed the notes in his hands for the per-
formance of that duty"

BASE BALL.
A Notable Game at Chhcago- Contests
Elsewhere.

CHICAGO, September 12,-'Today's base
ball game between the Providence and Chi
cago mines was worthy the positions they
occupy in the league. 1t was free from
glaring errorss the total OF misplays being
Providences 2, Chicagos 3. The Chicsgos
had two fine strikes Of batting to help them
out, and were lucky In punching their
hits. They made eight hits, of which four
were two basers The RfovIdences hit hard
but were out of luck and scattering, their
totsl being also eight hits, two being two
basers, and one by Den ny, a magnificent
three baser. The game was exciting up to
the eighth innings, when the Chicagoes, be-
ing first at the bat, discouraged the visitors
by getting three runs and base on
balls, and three strong hits in
exactly the same place between right and
centre fields. The crowd OF spectators was
the largest ever on the ground except on
holidays, numbering about 5000, ana they
cheered vociferously every good play on
either side, and went wild at the final re-
suit. The umpiring was not satisfactory.
To-morrow's game will call out even a
larger crowd. The score was: Chicago, In
the first inning, 2 in the fifth and 3 In the
eighth inning; total 6. Providence 2 in
the third and in the ninth; total 4.

managers can and can not yield It was
under his management that the first i'm

made on the Georgia Road, and when he

A WAR OF RACES.
st. Louis Negroes Claiming the Right to
Send their Children to White Schools.


ST. LOUIS, September 12.-Great excite
ment exists in st. Louis on the question
whether colored children shall be sent to
the public schools, where white children are
taught, during vacation. The School Board
selected a site for a school building
for colored children, located between rail-
road tracks. The colored people objected
to this location, and threatened to send
their children to school with the whites.
Yesterday, at the opening of the school,
colored children applied for admission into
the white schools, but the principals refused
to admit them. The excitement grew apace,
and the board ordered the schools closed
for the day. Last night several street fights
occurred, and to-day the schools were again
opened. Few white children presented
themselves but the colored ones were again
on hand, and yesterdays action was re-
peated. Some of the teachers left their
schools.
Finally, the schools were again closed for
the remainder Of the day. The board had
meanwhile rented building to serve as a
school for colored children, but the negroes
would not send their children there, claim
ing the right to have them enrolled into the
white schools. Fights occurred between
white and colored children this morning.
The excitement is growing, and 1t is not
known how matters will terminate.

NEWPORT'S CHOLERA CASE.
Views of the President of the National
Board of Health.

NEWPORT, R. l., September 12-Dr.
Cabell, of Virginia, President Of the Ma
tional Board of Health, held yesterday an
official inquest, in this city, upon the recent
cholera case. In a letter TO the Sanitary
Protection Association, to be published
to-day, he states that he is de-
tered from prOnouncing 1t a
case of the epidemic technically,
called Asiatic cholera, inasmuch as there
has not yet been time for that disease to
reach our shore from Tangiers by the
usual method OF transit, although he freely
admits that the symptoms and post mortem
appearance were entirely consistent with
such view. DIR. Cabell urges the expe-
diency of transferring the duties of the
health board to body of medical gentle
men conversant with sanitary questions.
