By the way. the best looking of all the candI

ideas of beauty, we must confess that he is not
so handsome as either st. John or Cleveland,
but there is u reality of intellect and a massive.
power about him that put him ahead ofthem all.
Butler comes very near being a great man in the

are not willing to admit it now.

THE RICHMOND NATIONAL BANK.
Embarrassing Position in Which County
Treasurer Kim Is Placed by Its Failure.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
RICHMOND, Aug. 1.-THE feature of interest
to-day in the affairs Of tine suspended Richmond
National Bank has been the appearance Of Peter
2. kim. county treasurer, before Judge Kihhey.
of the Circuit Court on a citation to- show cause
why he SHOULD not provide additional security on
his official bond. The bond is $500 600, and the
Bondsmeu are Charles F. Coffin. president Of the
Richmond National Bank; Charles II. Coffin,
cashier, and d. ]. Hoerner and Elwood Patter-
SON. directors. Ttwii be remembered that at
the hankssuspension kim had an official de-
posit there Of $I93, GEO. Shortly after the
suspension the County Commissioners called on
him FOR a better bend. and he had arranged with
the Second National Bank here to give it his acs
count IN consideration of its providing him with
the needed hondsmen. But when Kin's affairs,
and the affairs of the Richmond National were
looked into, II appeared that Kfm's deposit would
cerne back to him only in the slow course Of gem
eraI settlement of the banks business. and any
large demands made on the county treasury in
the meantime would have to be
met by him personally, or by his
bondsnen tt also appeared that the new
bondsuaen would have to face these demands on
AN equality with the old bondsmen. The pros
peet made the Second National people pause
indeed, back quite out; and thus Kim was left
without hope, and he could not comply with the
commissioners order.
In the trial to-day it appeared that not one of
the old hondsn4en is solvent except Hoerner,
$2l, 600 real estate, free of incuna-
branee. Neither Charles +. nor Charles
II. Coffin. it appears, owns any realty over and
above indebtedness secured by 1t; and Elwood
Patterson's real estate is all mortgaged to its fun
value. Patterson, by the way, who is a manu-
f%acturer, has Just assigned the personal effects
in his business to his sen-iu-law. Omar Hittle,
and seems to be in pretty bad shape all through.
Judge Kibbey ruled that Kim must file a new
bond within ten days. Kim took an appeal, as
the statute allows. from the judge to the Circuit
Court; and the case will now rest just where it
Is until September. Then, if Kim should not
have found new bondsmen, and Judge Kibbey
should still insist on them, as he must, Kims
position viii be most unfortunate. The com
nnssioners will have to declare his ONCE
varant, and appoint some one to admin
lister it until Kim's duly elected successor
comes Ia. Then kim will have to make UP the
$F05so00 as best he can. He is q perfectly hon
est and most worthy man, and his official record
is perfectly clear. He is also an old soldier. and

CARS GO THROUGH 4 BRIDGE.
An Accident on the Virginia Midland Road
Narrow Escape Of the Passengers.

As the south-bound express train on the
Virginia Midland Railroad was approaching
the bridge across the James river, one mile
and a half north of Lynchburg, the engineer
applied the air brakes to check the rapid
speed of the train. The brakes refused TO
work. Finally he sounded the whistle for
the brakemen TO put down the regular
brakes. Here also some difficulty was met
with. and the speed of the train remained
unchecked. The train rushed on TO the
bridge. striking the third span just over the
main channel with tremendous force. The
two Pullman sleeping cars plunged into the
river. while the passenger coach next TO
them was thrown across the track. where it
balanced itself. As if by the hand Of Prov
idence. the tracks Of the sieepers broke
loose from the body of the cars. which
allowed these TO float long enough TO afford
an opportunity for the rescue OF the pasSen-
gers from drowning. Nearly all of them
were in their berthS asleep At the time the
accident occurred. Conductor Nm. King,
who was on the platform or one OF
the cars was thrown into the river. and
although he had two ribs broken. he SWAIN
to the cars and helped the passengers
through the windows. Most of the passen-
gers were taken out through holes cut III
the yentilators AT the top of the cars, to
which the water finally reached. There was
about twenty passengers in the sleepers.
After the water had covered the top of the
windows Mrs J. 5. Farden pushed her two
monthS-old child through window. and
held il above the water until rescued and
then she came out the same way. No one
was killed.
