A National Bank Burst by Grain
Speculation.

A National Bank Burst by Grain
Speculation.
MIDpLETowN, n. Y Nov. % The
Mlddletown National bank has failed.
Its doors were closed this morning.
The failure was caused by the presl-
dent, Thos King, who accepted large
drafts from Benjamin d. Brown, a
grain dealer OF indianapolis and Bur
lington, la, without security. Brown
has made an assignment. The capital
Of he bank was 5000 600; the surplus
El5, 900. The extent Of the loss is not
known definitely. The depositOrs
will lose nothing. President King
takes all the blame on himself. His
recent advances were made without
the knowledge Of the other officers and
the directors. The bank examiners
are on their way from Washington.
There was u slight run on the savings
bank here, but the latter is in no way
involved and will stand the run easily.
IN THE HANDS oFTHE EXAMINER
MIDDLEToWN, N. Y, Nov. 2S -
Bank Examiner George Il. May from
| Washington is now in possession Of
| the MiddlelOwn National bank In
| July the directors notified King that
Browns credit must be reduced. King
disobeyed the instructions and broke
the banks record, Tho acceptance OF
Browns drafts on the bank were kept
by Kingin book in his possession and
concealed from the otherUtflcers. So far
as known more than 5000 900 Of such
aeceptanees are out. IL is the opinion
of the best informed that the entire
capital and surplus will be wiped out.
The run on the savings bank here
drew 5000 600 to-day. The bank IL

EXHIBIT.

our moving at She New Orleans
Exposition Excftes EnfhasIasm ON
the Part of Observers-A state of
Great Resources.
The New Orleans Times. Democrat OF
the 22d instant, speaking Of Nevada's ex-
hibit, says:
The exhibit from this State is now well
under way and already presents features of
surprising interest. II was to be expected
thst the State containing the great Com
stock lode, a State which can boast of the
sutro tunnel, a State. the mineral re-
sources OF which have enabled Mackay,
Flood and O'Brien and other bonanza
kings" to amass their enormous fortunes:
u was to be expected that such q State
should send an unequaled collection of
minerals and ores. Bnt it Ia with some
surprise that one sees in the midst OF the
exhibit from Nevada specimens of the cot
ton plant bearing cotton equal to that of
the sea island plantations, potatoes weigh
ing more than four pounds, apples rival
ing the finest shown in the collection of
any fruit-growing State; it is there that the
impartial observer may be excused il his
enthusiasm becomes unbounded. How
ever. Notwithstanding the excellence of the
agricultural display, the main fea-
ture Of this exhibit is the collection
OF minerals and photographs relating to the
great mining industries Of the State. The
State Commissioner is Col. O. G. Thomas,
the Superintendent of the far-famed Sutro
tunnel, and il is to his energy, unsided by
any State appropriation, that Nevada owes
this magnificent exposition Of her re-
sources. The collection is made Of speci-
mems from q large number OF Nevada
mines and several fine collections from
private cabinets, notably those Of Senator
Jones, j. Shaw, s. Bowling, the State cab
met, the cabinet Of the Pacific Coast Pio-
neers, an organization made up Of forty
miners, and W. NJ. Hsyener, who will re-
main here in charge Of the display. The
collection is a large one, well classified and
labeled.
Specimens Of ore are shown which assay
at $780, 900 to the ton. Large photographs
on the wall present wildly sone Of the pic
| turesque localities of Nevada and views OF
| the more prominent mines. The original
drawings Of the great Sutro Tunnel are also
displayed. This marvellous feat Of engi-
neering ~consists of q tunnel eight miles
in length driven into the side
Of g mountain at q depth Of 1900 to 1,70O
| feet. The diameter varies from eight to
\ sixteen feet. This tunnel was driven for
the purpose Of draining the numerous
mines clustering around the great Com
stock lode. The yield Of these mines and
the fortunes amassed by their owners are
almost beyond computation. But for this
tunnel they would to-day be useless. TIT
tunnel itself is no mean a source of income
to the members Of the corporation main
tanning it. The method Of payment adopt
ed is to collect from each mine drained 81
for each ton Of ore taken out and yielding
less than $50. and 50 in case the yield is
more than $50.
Col. Thomas leaves to-day for Sutro to
resume his duties there. The care OF the
exhibit falls upon the assistant, Mr.. Hav.
ener, to whom much Of the credit for the
fine display is due.

HENRY CLAY.

Am OctOgenarian Lady Tells How
the Great ComlnOner Took HIS
Defeat.
The following interesting incident wal
related many years ago by Mrs. Robert
Todd, Of Kentucky, the stepmother OF Mrs.
Abraham Lincoln:
The Todds and Clsys were always on
intimate terms, and in 1874 were living
near each other in Lexington. Ky. Henry
CLAW and James <. Polk were then rival
candidates for the Presidency, the chances,
as we generally supposed, being strongly IN
favor OF the great Wing leader. AS 1t turned
out, however, the contest was much closer
than had been anticipated, and adVices
| from other States showed that the result
hinged upon the vote of New York. There
was no telegraph in those days, and news
had to come by the slow course OF malls.
The New York mail was due in Lexington
about 10 O'Clock in the evening OF a certain
day. and it was known would tell the story
of victory or defeat. As it happened q
voung lady relative OF Mr.. Clay was to be
married on the same evening, and insisted
nnon his presence, though under the cir
cnmstsnces he would much rather have
remaiped at home. Mr.. and Mrs. Todd
attended this memorable wedding party,
which was not large, and composed almost
exclusively of the family connections and
intimate frieuds-all ardent Wings, n oil
course deeply interested in the pending
political event.
As the hour for the arrival OF the mall
annroached. Mrs. Todd saw two or three
Gentlemen quietly leave the room, and
messing their errand, watched eagerly for
THAR return. When they came in she
knew by the expression OF each counte'
nsnce that New York had gone Demo
cratic. The bearers OF the PAD uoines
consulted together q moment In . corner'
and then one Of them advanced 70 MT
Olay, who was standing in the center OF =
group, and handed him q paper. Mrs'
Todd, aware of what it contained, las'
| ened her eyes upon him. DE opened .he
nsper. and as he read the paragraph winch
sounded the death knell OF bis poii.ical
| homes and ambition, she saw q distlnct piue
| shsde begin at the roots OF MS mar, pass
| SLOWLY over his face like q cloud ana 'nen
| disappear. Without saying Q word upon
| The subject, which must have monopoi2eo
ali his thoughts, he laid down tne paper
| and turning to the table, filled q glass WIZ
| wine, and raising 1t to his lips WIN =
| nleasant smile, said: - drinK 70 ,ns
health and happiness Of all assembled
| here" Setting down the glass, ne re,
snmed the conversation as II notning nao
| happened, and was, as usuai. the ine an.
| light of the company. But MRS. Iodo sa'u
as soon as the contents OF the paper was
Known. "a wet blanket fell on everybody
