THE MUNSTER BANK.
The Excitement Caused by the Failure
Subsiding.

DUBLIN, July 16.-It has been decided
by Mr. Talon, car owner, Err. Bolger,
land owner, and the Alliance Gas Com
pany, all large creditors of the Munster
Bank, to present joint-creditors' petit
ton for the compulsory winding up of
the affairs OF that institution.
Cork, July 16.-The excitement
caused by the suspension of the Munster
Bank is subsiding. A feeling of greater
easiness now prevails.
1t has been suggested that the share
holders subscribe So per share to tide
over the crisis. Governmental assistance
is hoped for. The suspension of the
Munster Bank has thrown 1900 employees
out of work. A large meeting of propri-
etors, held here to-day, appointed COM
mittee to consider the best means to re-
construct the bank and facilitate its
liquidation.
In order to allay public anxiety, the
branches Of the Munster Bank have been
ordered to publish the decision of the
meeting of proprietors held here to-day
An approximate statement of the bank s
affairs shows the following liabilities
and assets: Liabilities : Deposits
and current accounts, f2,00O,00O
agents accounts, e510,000; iu-
terest due, e24,0O0; paid-up capital,
9525, 900; reserve, s2O0, 600; acceptances

meeting to- day stock brokers in this city

The ALLEGED Libel.

The following is Mr.. Shea's letter on
which the above libel suit was instituted:
Let me say to the Rev. Jardine that he

and husbands of many of those who have
been identified with the church in the

of taking young girls, many Of
them, into his private room, and kissing,
fondling, aud even taking indecent liber-
ties with them while he held them upon
his knees This child, just budding into
girlhood, according to the mothers state
ment, was thus held and subjected to in
decent liberties So indignant was the
girl that she begged her msther 10 take
her away from the school. This was
promptly done, and the matter hushed
up for fear of Jardine's resentment and
public scandal What. let me ask the
Rev. Jardine, should be the punishment

such a thing as this? A father and
mother with feelings outraged beyond
measure, hiding aud smothering a crime
against their own household and the
morals of the community in which they

work in the plate mill, fires in all the
pudding furnaces were lighted, aud at Z
o'clock the whistle blew as signal for
the men to begin their toll, but the ma
chinery was not set in motion. The men
have become intimidated by the strikers,
and stated that they preferred idleness
for few days. They had no fears of in
reference while at work, but appre-
hended violence while at home. The
men were addressed by Superintendent
Patton, who stated that he had no dispo-
sition to expose them to danger, so there
fore ordered the mill closed until next
Monday. Thus no department of the
company's mill is in operation. The
boiler works did not resume to day. As
there was no need of the police after this
decision had been reached, they departed
for home at o'clock. The strikers
have held no meeting, and it is thought
that they will have none to-day.

Missing Depnty United states marshnl

NASHVILLE, July 16.-The greatest
interest is manifested concerning the
fate of United States Deputy Marshall
W. Lee Miller. No one, however, dares
go out and solve the mystery. The
locality in which he is supposed to have
been killed is infested by the most des-
perate moonshiuers. He has for ten
years been on the hunt of wildcatters
who have never been taken, either by
strategy or surprise What may have be-
come of Miller will never be known, un-
less the government shall authorize a
posse to ferret out the mystery. The
universal opinion is that he was killed by
moonshiners and his remains placed
where they can never be found. Illicit
distilleries have increased to 100 in the
middle district of Tennessee, with an i'm
mediate prospect of 400 more. 1t is pre-
dicted that with the immense crop of
corn the number will reach 1000, which
will greatly depress legitimate trade

whisky in Northern Alabama at 80 and
