An Auction ut the " Gray House,.


There was a strange gathering yester-
day in the parlors and other chambers of
the house which for some time President
Arthur made tho executive mansion, ho
boing at the timo the guest of Senator
Jones, Of Nevada. 1t was then known as
the Gray house." The house is one of
those in Gen. Buffers famous gloomy
granite pile on Capitol hill. The occasion
of the assemblage was the sale OF por-
tion of Senator Joness furniture prepara-
tory to turning the house over to the
government. which has leased it for COM
mittee rooms. Good prices were realized
as rule, and, together with the appraised
prise paid for what the United States
bought, some $4,000 was aggregated.
The effects belonged to Gen. Butler, who
took them off Senator Jones's hands when
the latter left the house.

In the southeastern portion of the state
the raising of peanutsshas now become
prominent branch of husbandry. the crop
for the present year being estimated at
100000 bushels, of more money value
than the potato crop OF the entire state.
When these things are generally under
stood it can hardly be doubted that Vir-
giuia will receive large accession OF popu
lation from those in other states seeking
new homes as well as people from Europe.
1t will then be discovered whether the
real interests Of the state are best sub
served by raising as q staple article o
crop Of statesmen, which, for seventy
years seemed to be the grand idea, to act
as the ruling class at the expense of the
masses, or to encourage intelligent, en-
terprising industries in the proper de-
velopment of her most wonderful re-
sources. The mud stills" will then be
esteemed as Of some real value, and very
likely it will not be deemed quite prudent
or entirely safe to trihe with them in tho
matter of receiving and counting their
votes. Possibly, indeed, the real creators
of the wealth of the state may conclude
to receive and count the votes themselves,
including those of the present ruling
classes if, under the new order of things,
they should condescend to offer them.

A BANK FAILURE.
The Middletown National Bank
Closes Its Doors - Drafts Accepted

The Middletown National Bank
Closes Its Doors - Drafts Accepted
by the President Without Security
the Cause.
MIDDLETowN, N. Y, Nov. 2s.-The
Middletown National bank has failed and
its doors are closed this morning. The
failure was caused by its president, Thos.
King, who accepted large drafts from
benjamin d. Brown, a grain dealer of In
dianapolis, Ind, and Burlington, Iowa,
without security. Brown has made an
assignment. The capital was 5000 900 and
the surplus $1l5OO0. The extent of the
loss is not yet definitely known. The de-
positors will lose nothing. President
King takes all the blame on himself His
recent advances were made without the
knowledge Of the other officers and di-
rectors.
There is slight run on the Savings
bank here, but the latter Is in no way in
volved, and will stand the run easily.
Bank Examiner George T. May, of
Washington, is now in possession of the
bank. In July last the directors notified
President King that Mr.. Browns credit
must not be extended, but reduced. Mr..
King diBobeyed instructions, and the
bank has gone under. The record of ac-
ceptances of Mr.. Browns drafts on the
bank were kept by President King in a
book which he kept In his own posses
sion and concealed from the other officers
So far as known, more than 100000 Of
such acceptances are out.
1t is the opinion Of the best informed
that the entire capital and surplus Of the
institution will be wiped out. The
directors are County Judge John G..
tnI taAn
Wyck, of Nebraska; Col. ID. G. Dusen-
berry. Hon. w. II. Clark. Horatio r..
Wilcox, A. II. Vail. U. T. Hays, Presi-
dent King, and Cashier Daniel G. Corwin.
The run on the savings bank here re-
suited In $4,000 being paid out to-day.
The bank is solvent and ready for any
emergency.
Mr.. Cannon, comptroller OF the cur.
rency, said yesterday, in regard to tho
failure of the Middletown National bank, l.,
that he learned OF trouble in the bank
last Wednesday evening. and ordered a
special examiner to proceed to the bank
at once and take charge of it, The comp
troller also said that on report of the
examiner In July last it was discovered
that Mr.. King, the president, was bor-
rowing largely from the bank, The di-
rectors were Immediately notified that
the indebtedness of Mr.. King should be
reduced to point to comply with tho
law. Information was subsequently, re-
CeiVed that this had been done. The
comptroller, however, under the belief
that the bank was not being judiciously
managed, notified the directors that its
charter would not be extended, aud that
rs the charter would expire in few
months lin May. 1885, steps should be at
once taken to liquidate Its Indebtedness
The comptroller said further that unless,
through the action Of Mr.. King, tho bank
has been crippled very recently he did
not think there would be serious loss to
ihe public through its failure.
