AN ASSIGNMENT IMPENDING.
WASHINGTON, July 3.--The Comp
troller of the Currency received the re-
port of the receiver of the Marine Ma
tional Bank yesterday. The Comptroller
says he has not had time to go through
the schedule and examine the report in
detail, but from the fact that proved
claims amount to $3,493,0l2, and assets
are estimated as good for only $3,022, $50,
he has no doubt an assessment will be
made against the shareholders of the
bank.

Within the past week, a small but very
neat and attractive building has been
erected on Sixteenth street, opposite the
Warren Emporium. Its use was made
evident to the public when Charles Welt
Ae, the photographer, took down his pho
tographic tent on Fifteenth street and
moved into this more permanent and sub
stantial place of business. The interior
has been divided into an attractive waiting
room and an equally convenient operating
room. The latter is fitted up with all the
necessary apparatus for first-class photo
graphic work. One camera in the collec-
ton will make a larger picture than any
other in the city and Mr.. Weitfe has thus
been enabled to make some fine views Of
residences and business places in the city.
Samples Of MI. Weitfe's work show him
to be a very fine photographer and with
the facilities afforded by his new establish
ment he is now prepared to do some ve.y
fine work in the Photographic line.

Various and sundry consultations, petit
caucuses, and plotting combinations were
held last evening and even late last night.
In two buildings the curtains were care
fully lowered and secret meetings Of Re
publican jobbers were held. There were
hurryings to and fro at a certain hotel and
after the front doors were locked a mys-
FERROUS meeting of some significance was
held in a saloon on Sixteenth street. A
similar resort on Eddy street was the
scene.ofa meeting held in the semi-dark-
ness which a single smoky lamp created.
The locality ironically called the Republi-
can headquarters was closed and absolute
desolation reigned supreme. The place is
doubtless called headquarters because no
Republicans ever go there. Altogether
about six different meetings were held by
Republicans and those apostates from
that party who are known as Hood
lums." Dissentions are giving the party
more trouble than it can bear and stin
retain that phenomenal elasticity and
fictitious %bouyancy for which it is notori-
