GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.

RrcnMoNp, VA, September H. Th'
Richmond Banking and Insurance company
have this morning posted at their counter
the following notice:
The president and board of directors arc
compelled TO suspend business for the pres.
ent. Trustees will be appointed and IL is
confidently believed that depositors will re-
ceive dollar for dollar.
Jgo. b. DAVIS, President.
The bank officers state that the suspen.
sion Is due to large depositors recently
drawing their funds, which action so ma.
terially contracted and embarrassed
their business. that they were forced
to the step taken. The intimate
relation between this bank and
the Planters National bank, Mr.. Davis
being president OF both, has created an I'M
easy feeling among. the depostors in the
latter, causing smalldepositors to withdraw
their funds. Business men having large
deposits are rallying to its aid. The direc-
tors of the Planters National bank were in
session all last night examining its condi-
ton, and at this morning Charles h.
Whitlock and James b, Pace, two of the
wealthiest men in the city, were elected di-
rectors John B. Davis then resigned the
presidency and Charles Il. Whitlock was
electeu president.
LATER.-No statement of the condition Of
the affairs of the Richmond Banking and
Insurance company could be obtained
to-day. The amount of deposits
is stated at about 100000, which includes
$300,0O belonging to the state of Virginia,
the bank being state depositary. The
latter amount is secured by bond with good
securities. The actual liabilities are put
down at 1907 900. Charles Il. Whitlock has
been appointed trustee for the banking and
insurance company, and it is probable that
in day or two definite statement will
be made Whitlock believes that the de-
positors will not lose anything except from
delay. John B. Davis, late president of
the suspended bank and the Planters Ma
tional bank, is brother of United States
Senator Berry G. Davis. OF West Virginia.
He has displayed great deal of public
spirit since the war, and much sympathy
is expressed for him. A slight run on the
Planters National bank began Immediately
on the fact of the suspension being made
public and continued until about o'clock,
when everything quieted down, under the
assurance that there was plenty of money
to pay all depositors and that there was
not the slightest cause for alarm.

The Musical Cary Family.

FROM tic Lewiston JOurnal.J
DR.. Nelson III. Cary moved TO Durham,
Me-. about thirty-five years ago. OF his re-
markable family, made famous. the world
over by Annie Louise, we will speak in de-
tail. Joseph, his oldest child, was fine
bass singer. He married Flora Barry, a
famous opera-singer, who has visited
Lewiston several times. He has been
divorced from her within few
years. William, the next son, was also
a good singer. The next younger child
was Marcia, now Mrs. j. G. Merrill, OF
Portland. When the children went. to
together Marcia was called
the best singer in the town, and was sup
posed TO possess Il richer voice than Annie.
The next daughter was Ellen. She was
the only soprano singer in the family, and
had an unusually good voice. She is now
the wife Of Il Congregational minister.
Then came Samuel, who was a good bass
singer. He is now in the clothing business
in New York. The next and youngest
child by his first wife was Annie Louise.
"Fvc slid down hill with her many Il
time" says the Durham historian. Annie
Louise will always be remembered as 4
rOmD i'm her youth.
