THE PENN BANK.
Great Excitement Caused by the Action
of the Directors.

The Penn bank recently closed again, the
following notice being posted on its doors !:
"Ir. Riddle, the president and chief executive
officer of the bank, having become suddenly
and seriously ill and unable to communicate
with the board of directors, it is deemed proper
to close the bank until he sufficiently RECEIVERS
to be present at the adjustment Of its affairs"
The news of the second suspension spread
rapidly, and created tense excitement a d
surprise, owing to the fact that everybody had
faith in the banks ability to pay all claims
against it. President Riddle appeared to be
in his usual health at ten o'clock that
morning, but halt an hour later was
Frustrated with hemorhage of the lungs.
The crash was brought out by the clearing
house throwing out checks amounting to
$3.50 According to the statement of the
directors, the bank had raised 1881, to p y
liabilities of S9lS 900. 1t is said that there
were $500, 900 in certified checks out, which
were not included in the amount, and which
had to be paid. The banks which loaned the
suspended institution funds to tide it over are
amply secured
Later developments show that the deposit
tors will be fortunate if they get five per cent of
the amounts entrusted to the bank. The firm
Is completely Quilted, the assets are diminish
ing rapidly, and the liabilities are swelling
even more rapidly. Those who had the cill
on the resources drew with an unsparing hand.
The books shed very little light on the identity
of those who deposited with the institution, as
the accounts are in fictitious names. Capita
lists like William H. Vanderbilt are made to
masquerade on the ledgcrs or those getting
aid in some unknown way from the deposltors'
money. The shortage grows greater as the
intricacies ofthe book accounts are unraveled,
and from less than $3.50 900 overdrawn it has
grown to over ST. 900, 900, and it is believed
the liabilities will exceed S2,000,000.

MRS. POLK.
The Once Famous Beauty at Her Home in
Nashville

Right in the heart of Nashville stands large,
old-E,shioned homestead of dull red brick, its
roof projecting over the broad piazza, supported
by great futed pillars, and its general aspect
conveying an impression Of severe stateliness
in pleasing variance with the distorted would
be fashionable architecture in the same neigh
borhood, whites correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Enquirer A long lawn stretches in front
of the house, and its pie,sant green monotony
Is unbroken, save by plain and massive tomb
of white marble which carries its own best
ePitaph in the simple inscription, James h.
Polk.
A ring at the bell brought to the door
good-natured colorcd girl, who took our cards
to the venerable and veneated widow Of Presi-
dent Pok.
A woman like Mrs. Polk is a reve' alton to
the beauties of old age. Gentle benevolence,
broad-reaching ch rt ripe experience and a
cultivation of mind that extends beyond let
tiers to mankind shine through her CONVERSE
ton, and a ready memory, keen wit and a
store of "reminiscences illumlna'e it.
Sixt, years ago, at the time of her marriage,
Mrs. Polk was considered remarkable for her
beauty and twenty years after when she presi-
ded at the White House it was so fresh and I'M
impaired MS to attract great admiration, and
be noted in the published works and private
journals of distinguished foreigners.
Time, Of course, has stolen the vivid color
ing and curved outlines Of youth but he has
not robbed her of the upright figure and dig
niied carriage, and has left brightness in her
eyes and vivacity in her voice, beside lending
an added charm in her laultless manners.
Crowned with eighty years Of honor she rose
to receive u.s.
From the library of the dend President she
can gaze upon the tomb that marks his resting
place, and in that same library remains his hat,
gloves and cane, Just where he laid them VIII n
he came home for the last time. The book he
was reading lies open on the table, and the pa
pers Of the day beside it.
In society, and fond of it, Mrs. Polk has yet
never accepted an invitation since her hus-
bands death, though with graceful hospitality
and tact she has received on the first day of
each year the tennessee Legislature, which
adjourns in a body TO call upon her-and
which 1 am told is the highest compliment
ever paid by state authorities to a lady-and
the civil, judicial and ecclesiastical bodies
make it point to pay their respects to her.

A MARITIME NECESSITY.
Objections RAISED to Closing the Hydro
graphic Offices.

The report that the photographic offices in
Boston, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia
and Baltimore are to be closed, owing to the
failure of Congress to appropriate sufficient
funds to run them, creates cols erable adverse
criticism among shipping people. Although
the Boston Off e has been established but o
short time, its usefulness has been very clearly
demonstrated. At the present time, so well
has the workings of the office become known to
sea captains, that it is about the first place they
visit upon arriving from sea. Here they gain
the very latest information of changes IN the
location o buoys, lighthouses, ETC., all over the
world, and have their charts corrected accord
ingly. Also, they receive the pilot chart of
the Atlantic, issued monthly, and from it learn
the position of floating wrecks and ice, direc-
ton and force of the winds and other valuable
data. The office also examines and corrects
baromete and other instruments free of
charge. 1t is lkely.a petition will be drawn up
and signed by all the prominent shipping peo-
pie, and forwarded to representatives in Con-
grcss, asking that the necess ny funds be at
once appropriated.

"A Catch that Discounts tho Brilliant
Work on the Diamond Field.

"Ofk on the DIumOhu Ielu.
Nora Oberly, a ive-year-old OF Cincinnati
o., has had an experience which far surpasses
any leap for life and liberty performed by
circus jumpers. She was locked in third
story room while her aunt went ont shop
ping. Being an unwilling prisoner the little
one soon cast about for means of egress, and
the only exit she saw was through an open
window looking out upon the street. Out Of
this window the child clambered and was OBJ
served hanging by her tiny arms from the win
dow-sill, fully thirty five feet from the side
walk. Passers-by were horror-stricken at the
sight, but while others were waiting for the cul-
mination of fatal fall Mr. Kunzman took in
the situation at glance and was quick to act
He was on the opposite side when he caught
sight of the child's peril, and with all speed he
placed himself just below and waited. The
child's fingers slipped and down through the air
she fell into his embrace. H. was dangerous
catch for him, for had the falling child struck
him on the head 1t would probably have dis
abled him. As it was it strained his arms, but
he was still able to run at lively rate as soon
as he saw the child was safe, and the crowd of
people which had Immediately gathered began
TO sound his praises.

There Is a growing tendency in
Great Britain to substitute grazing for
cultivation. Compared with 1882. ac-
eording to the agricultural returns,
there was in 1888 falling off in the
area devoted to grain and root crops of
2l4,7O5 acres. There was diminu-
ton of $4,000 acres in the tillage de-
voted to wheat, but an increase in bar
ley and oats. The increase of perma-
nent pasturage amounted to 243,700
acres.

A Moving Rock,

In the town of Salisbury, Conn, is one of1he
famous Twin Lakes, and about 200 yards from
the western shore Of the same in shoal water,
there is a large stone, weighing more than
thirty tons. 1t is kaown as "NIoving Rock"
and it derives its title among the good people
of the town of Salisbury from the fact that it
has moved a quarter of mile to its present
loca ion during the last decade. No one has
as yet been able to explain the phenomenon,
but body of college professors will take the
case in hand this season. There is no rec I'd
of it in the ancient lore Of the town. 1t is of
q porous formation, and the channel it has
made for itself along the bottom of the lake
clearly indicates the progress it has made.
