for the erection of the new depot on Balti-
more street, the point of the Western Mary
lands junction with the Baltimore and Ohio

endeavoring for several years to obtain bet
ter depot Accommodations at the terminus

the proposed depot is located almost in the

is easy of access from all directions.

ST.. JosEPH's ACADEMY.-The Sisters of
Charity in charge of St. Joseph's Convent at
Enmiitsburg, NIL, have concluded to do
away with the educational department of
that institution, an action which some time
ago they were seriously considering. The
idea Of abolishing this branch of work in the
convent was not due to any lack Of patron
age or want of financial support, but became
it to some extent interfered with the work
of charity, etc, which are the main objects
of the order. Archbishop Gibbons, during
his recent trip abroad, had conference in
Paris with the Superior General Of the Sis
tiers of Charity, which resulted in an arran-
cement for the academy. ST. Joscph's is one
ofthe oldest academies in the United States,
and was foun led dlriug the administration
of the Most Rev. John Carroll, first archbsh

females, and is closely identified with the
progress of learning in this country. When

letters from all parts of the country express
sing the hope that the rumor was untounded
and that if it was true the intention would
not be carried out-Baltsmore Sun.

HEAVY FAILURE.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 18-The pri-
vate banking house of A 81 e. G. S.
Harrison, not Notwithstanding assurances
given by the latter gentleman, yes
terday, did not open its doors this
morning. Before the hour of opening,
the Sidewalk in front Of the building
was blocked up by crowds of deposit
ors seeking payment of balances, but
they were disappointed. During the
morning Alfred Harrison, by his at
torneys, appeared before Judge Walk
er and named John Clay Pool, but he
declined to act. The name of John
Spann was then proposed but he also
declined and, under the orders of the
court, the sheriff took possession
pending the appointment of a receiver.
The bank has from 300 to 500 deposi-
tors and the amount of the deposits is
variously estimated from 100000 to
100000. A considerable amount of
this money is trust and NUM-
cipal finds. City Treasurer Patti
son having $4,000 with the
firm. Pattison is understood to be
fully secured. The friends of Harrison
say he confidently expects assistance
this morning, and claims he was hon.
est, yesterday, in assuring depoSltors
they would lose nothing. There
is a general telief that the fail
ure is bad one, and that de-
positors will realize but little.
The failure has no perceptible effect
on other city banks, the effects of it
having been discounted by the partial
suspension of yesterday.
J. S. Harrison is the receiver of the
Indiana banking company, which
last August, for $4,000. He had
collected, up to April list, $S123,OC0
and, since that date ten per cent
dividend had been paid. There
is an impression that the ac-
counts of this receiversnip and
the Harrison Bank are badly con
fused. Harrison is supposed to have
at present, about 100000 in money
belonging to depositors of the bank
ing company.
