BUSINESS DIFFICULTIES.
The Vermont NatisnaI Bank of st. Albans
Closes Its Doors.

ST. ALBANs, Vt, Aug. 6-The Vermont Ma
tional Bank, of St. Adams, Bradley Barlow
president. closed its doors this morning,
causing great CONSERVATION among depos-
itors. Barlow is also president and owner of
the Southeastern railway of Canada, and it is
understood he has failed, and that
all his property is involved be-
sides considerable amount loaned
by banks and individuals to assist him in his
railroad management. Barlow says he has
assigned all his property to the bank for the
benefit of all depostors, and that his failure
is due TO the unsuccessful result of his at
tempt to sell the Southeastern railway to the
Canadian Pacific Railroad Company. He ex-
pected, up to few days ago. to accomplish
the SALE but failing in this, he was compelled
to suspend. The bank discounted about
1925, 600 for the Southeastern railroad, and
the loan was made on bonds of the Boston,
Montreal & Portland railway. Failing
to realize money on the bonds.
it was deemed best to close the bank.
The deposits of the bank are about
1920, 900, and Barlow thinks the depoSitors
will oe paid in full. The officers of the bank
state that its affairs are in proper shape, and
the bank examiner has been notified of its
situation. The Southeastern railway is a
road which had been taken in hand by Bar
low, who raised it from a state of inetfici-
ency, requiring large outlay. Barlow held
a large amount of bonds, not attempting to
put them upon the market, and the road has
been an active borrower in consequence, in
order to carry on Improvements, the earn
ings barely covering the current expenses
Its line extends from Montreal to-. Newport.
VT, little over a hundred miles, and has
branches to various points in the Provinces.
which make up total of 300 miles of road
in operation. The suspension of the bank
was totally unexpected, and is likely to have
a serious effect upon members who have
been indorsers upon its papers; but the real
condition of its affairs in this respect is not
fully known. 1t is understood that Barlow
had invested about 81, 600 900 in the South
eastern railroad The st. Adams Trust Com
pany also suspended its president. Lawrence
Brainard, who was a heavy indorser of Bar
lows paper, having made an assignment for
the benefit of the trust company. Brainard's
property assigned is valued at 100000.
Barlow states that he made no provision
for his family. He and they are absolutely
penniess, The floating liabilities OF the
Southeastern railway are $500, 000 The sus-
pension of the st. Adams Trust Company is
not permanent. President Brainard is able
to meet all liabilities of the Trust company,
also all liabilities as indorser for Barlow.

Preparations for the Execution of Stout. the
Murderer of Dunbar.

Preparations for the Execution of Stout. the
Murderer of Dunbar.
Special to the Indianapolis journal,
ROCKVILLE, Aug 6-The execution of JOS
eph w Stout, for the murder of Taylor Dun
bar, at Darlington. Montgomery county, on
NOV. "A, 1882, will occur here on Wednesday.
The Enclosure where the hanging takes place
is in the jailyard east of the engine-house.
It is 30 by 40 feet, and the walls twenty-five
feet high. The prisoner, from the cell win
dow, can see the men at work on it and hear
the sound of each nail as it is driven. The
scaffold has been completed over a week.
The trap works with lever, and the drop is
six and a half feet.
Stout, until recently, has shown great in
difference to his fate. He is more lenent,
and has had minister to talk with him.
The. scriptures were read and expounded.
He paid the greatest of reverence and atten-
ton, and is willing to believe the doctrines
taught by the Bible. He seems earnest
about his spiritual welfare.
The McCune Cadets will perform the guard
duty. Thirty reliable men have been de-
tailed, and Captain Clint Murphy will be in
command. They will report at the Jail at 8
o'clock A. NJ, and strict order be
issued. The guards will be fully armed
and equipped. and their beat will be
within the jail-yard fence. it is predicted
that there will be fully three thousand people
here, all weighed down with curiosity A
special train from Darlington will be run
for the Montgomery county people. Many
will come, but not more than one hun
bred will see the execution.
Many resident citizens will leave town.
They cannot bear the gloom of the gallows,
and will go to the country. 1t is fact that
out of the twenty murders perpetrated in
this county, none OF the murderers have
ever been executed. There has only been one
execution, prior to Stout's, and that was a
man from Vigo county.

The Situation at Chicago.

CHICAGO, Aug. cit is very difficult to get
any amount of rumors relative to the long
threatened strike of railroad telegraphers.
Careful inquiry at the general railroad Off
ces of this city fails to bring to light single
case where railroad operator left his key
to-day in this city and vicinity though it
was understood on Sunday night that oper-
ators on the Wabash and Chicago & Alton
would be called out at noon to-day. The
fact that not a man left his instrument gives
color to the general belief that a strike was
not actually ordered for that time, or, if
ordered, has been countermanded. 1t is now
surmised that the order was not to strike
to-day, but continue to do railroad
business as usual, merely refuS-
ing business for the Western Union,
with the understanding that if the company
insisted on sending commercial business, or
discharged any operators for refusing to take
commercial business the strike should actu-
ally begin tomorrow noon.
This seems to tally with the dispatches
from st. Louis. 1t is now said the bill of
grievances presented to the Chicago q Alton
met with RECOGNITION from that road to the
extent of notice to the committee that men
who have grievances should apply individ-
ually to their division superintendents, and
the Brotherhood profess to have information
to the effect that the division superintend-
ents have been instructed to lend kindly
ear to such complaints. Railway officials are
reticent as to whether they received the bill
of grievances, but prompt in saying they are
prepared for the worst the operators can do,
and say they have assurance that very few
of their men will obey the
Brotherhood's behest in case a strike is
ordered The Brotherhood men profess to
believe the Northwestern road inclined to
yield TO their demands and there is feeling
among the strikers not to hurry matters In
that quarter Strikers here admit that a
hitch of some sort in carrying out the inten-
tons OF the executive committee relative to
the railroad operators strike has occurred,
and that Western men, to whom the secrets
of the Brotherhood are confided, have made
a mistake in their instructions and struck.
The following dispatch was received here
this evening from the assistant superintend-
ent of telegraph of the Wabash system in the
Southwest:
ST. LOUIS. Aug. 6.-The strike ordered on the
wabash to-day was complete failure; only four
went out. G. G. KINsNAN.

An Order That Was Not Obeyei. DC

CHICAGO, Aug. Cit TRANSFERRED, late to-
night, that the order for strike of oper-
ators on the Chicago & Alton railroad
was actually given, to take effect at noon to-
day. A copy of the official order signed
by Master Workman Campbell of
New York, and Master Workman Morris. OF
Chicago, will be published in the morning. II
recites grievances to the effect that the road
discharged operators who refused to send
Western Union business; sets forth the de-
mands which the Brotherhood made on
the company its refusal to negotiate with
them, and concludes with instruction 10 all
members of the Brotherhood in its employ
TO quit work at noon on Monday, Aug. 6,
1888.
By some mischance the orders for
Chicago did not arrive in time, hence
the operators continued at their desks.
Brotherhood men, however, say to-
night that orders are being distrib-
uted at the offices of the company
in the city; that messengers have been
sent down the line to Bloomington, dis
tributing copies, and the strike will begin in
the morning

Burning of the Evansville Furniture Fac
tory
Special to the indianapolis Journal
EVANSVILLE. Aug, O.-lO-nlgnJ Lne IaC-
tory of the Evansville Furniture Company
was destroyed by fire. The origin is not
known, but supposed to have been spon-
taneous combustion, as the blaze was first
seen in the fourth floor. where the furniture
was vanished. Owing to an insufficient
supply of water, the city works being next
to worthless, the fire gained rapidly and
destroyed the factory. A large brick ware
house was saved, also the piles of seasoning
lumber. The company was organized in
1870, when number of dissatisfied work
men of a neighboring factory concluded to
start one of their own. The company at
first worked upon the cooperative basis, but
was later made joint stock company. They
had invested about $15O,0OO, of which
amount 500, 600 was in the building destroy
ed. The insurance aggregates about S15, 600.
They carried up to Friday last $4,000 more,
which ran out and they refused to renew
as the agents declined TO receive their risk
for less rate than one-half per cent addi-
tional. They were to be written up to-day
in other companies which would accept the
risk at the old rate. There were between
sixty and seventy-five men employed in the
factory. Three firemen was injured in the
work of putting out the fire, but not seri-
ously.
