Captain Jesse H Skies will be renem.

as second lieutenant in the Muscogee
Rifles. He was atterward promoted to
captain of the company, which did good
service in the various campaigns in Vlr-
ginia. He returned home at the close
Of the war, and died few years there
after. His family will doubtless be glad

On Friday, the 22l inst, we started
the sword by Adams Express to Mrs
Skies. The Captain was brave officer.
While we regret his demise, it affords us
pleasure to return what the fortunes oi
war threw into our hands to his widow
and daughters.

Pacific stock, as there was not even a

This morning it was openly announced
on the street that there would be an at
tack on the Western Union and Missou-

BILE purpose the information on which
your inquiry is based was t~elegraphed
over the country. I have received num-

of the statement that / was in financial

there is not a word of truth in it. The
whole purpose of the was to Gre

purchases could be made by heavy buy

Financial Panic.

NEW YORK, May 13.--The Metropoli-
tan Bank has suspended. Its doors are
closed. @. NJ. Bogerd It Co. assigned to
John Wheeler. The failure Of Hatch &
Foote was precipitated by the Phoenix
Bank refusing to certify their checks.
J.. c.. Williams, a broker, will announce
his suspension later in the day.
10 a. m.-The scene at the stock ex-
change is one of intense excitement.
This morning there was q rush to sell
stocks, partly on account of brokers be-
ing unable to meet engagements. Be
fore 1915 a. m. Nelson, Robinson & Co.
and Golf & Randall announced their
suspension.
III a. m.-Ihe stock market is ragged.
Some stocks show a sharp recovery and
others at the lowest. prices of the day.
Failures have stopped for the moment,
but the air is thick with rumOrs of fur
Their suspensions. Few know precisely
where they stand.
At the opening Of the stock exchange
this morning one failure afte: another
was announced until five stock firms
suspended, and the Metropolitan Bank
closed its doors. Its president has been
one of the most prominent spectators
on the exchange, and was rated high.
The failure of Hatch & Foote will very
likely involve country firms, as they
held the accounts of several private
banks outside of New York. Secretary
FoIger, who is in the city, promises to
take such steps as will relieve the pre-
sent situation.
Wall, Broad and New streets, sur
rounding the stock exchange, are filled
with surging masses, and the galleries
overlooking the trading room are crowd
ed to repIetion. The excitement on all
sides is almost unprecedented. On the
floor of the exchange all is conyulsed,
though there is little or no business
done, and the situation is decidedly
panicky and further failures are looked
for.
NEW YORK, May 15.--The rush on the
Second National bank has about stopped.
There were l48 depositors up to noon.
The clearing houses have arranged to
pay all the Second National debts.
Dimick & Co. have failed. Their
suspension has not affected the market.
Dimick Is president Of the Bankers &
Merchants Telegraph company, and the
suspension Of his firm has caused a drop
in the securities of that company.
2 D.. m.-Fisk & Hatch have suspend
ed. This firm is composed of A. I.
Hatch. president Of the stock exchange,
and Harvey Fisk. They have been the
heaviest dealers in government bonds
on the street, and have been considered
staunch and reliable.
The failure of Fisk & Hatch was an
nounced but a few moments before the
closing Of the exchange, but the effect
was instantaneous, causing a decline of
from one to five points in stocks. The
street is again excited; brokers are
rushing around wildly, and the situa-
ton again assumes a troubled aspect.
The market closed weak.

Accident--Billiards
Congressional

WASHINGTON, May 13.-Logan, from
the committee on military affairs, re-
ported favorable the bill TO place Gen.
Grant on the retired list. Logan asked
that the bill be put at once upon its pas
sage. Unanimous consent was given
and the bill was at once read a third
time and passed without debate or re-
mark except that Logan said he pre-
sumed there would be no objection to it.
The bill provides that in recognition of
the distinguished services rendered the
United States Gen. e. S. Grant, late
general of the army, be placed On the
retired list with the rank and full.pay
of general of the army.
The house went into committee Of
the whole, with Cox in the chair, on the
bill providing q civil government for the
territory Of Alaska. The committee rose
ment. 1t is a senate bill and now only
requires the approval of the president
to become a law.
The next measure considered was
ToWnshend's bill providing that here
after no territory shall form a constitu-
ton or apply for admission as a state
into the Union until it shall contain a
permanent population equal to that re-
quired in a congressional district in or
der to entitle it to representation in the
house.
Kassun criticised the bill As useless
and Iii violation of the spirit Of the con
stitution iii that 1t denied to the people
Of the territories the right or petition in
its highest forinH..
HaFdetnah denied that the bill touch
ed upon the right to petition, but de-
clared that it merely said in justice to
the old states that it would not give to
the people of the territories a basis of
representation which old states did not
have,
Cox favored the bill because it was
nothing but right.
