Riotous Bank Depos sitors.

ERIE, PENN, August 29.-Great excite
ment prevailed here this afternoon in con-
nection with a meeting of the stockholders
Of the suspended German Savings Bank.
The meeting was called to see whether the
stockholders would or not meet the liabili-
ties. A dense crowd of excited depositors
gathered around the bank, and their atti-
tude became so threatening that force
of police was detailed to keep the
peace. The mob closed around every
door Of the bank, while the stockholders
had their secret meeting within. At last
it was announced by the assignee that with
one exception all the stockholders had
signed an agreement to pay up in proper
tion to their stock, provided that Treasurer
Eliot pay back the amount of 3GS shares
sold by himself as bank treasurer shortly
before the bank suspended. William
Slenger, who would not sign, was detained
prisoner in the bank by the furious de-
positors, and was only liberated upon his
signing at the last. But for the course
adopted a serious outbreak was imminent.

CHAPTER XVI.
Tnr DISAPPOINTED LOVER.

OF course, Erastus was told of Lucy's
engagement TO Mr.. Annelsey. In fact,
he learned Il from Jennie in advance Of
any other member of the family.
As they Were driving home from the
landing on their return from San Fran
cisco and chatting of those things which
are Of more interest to young people,
namely, other young people, jennie
suddenly broke out with
Say, Luce, I'm going to tell Ras.
and without waiting for reply or Civ
ing any heed to the bushes which
flooded her sisters face and neck, she
ratified on with all the speed which her
tongue could command: How'd you
like & have MIR. Annelsey for brother
in-law, Rasp / know you didn't used
TO like HIM very wcli. but you'll have to
now. for Lucy and he are engaged. and
are going to be married when he comes
back from New York in about a year.
There now, Luce, it's out. and you
won't have to be carrying the awful
load of having to tell 1t any longer"
MI think you are just as mean as you
can be" retorted Lucy, half angry and
uncertain whether to laugh or cry. 81
hadn't said word about Mr.. Ensign.
who has been almost as constant as
your shadow ever since we met him on
the boat. You would be engaged to
him, too You know you would-if it
wasn't that he has got nothing to go to
housekeeping with. So, there now,
Ras. you know all about us girls, and
can confess that you are going to
marry Julia Ennis il you want to with
out bushing."
But Erastus made no such confession,
! and instead of blushing, his face became
very white, and lie looked straight
ahead and did not speak for some sec
onds, and then said. in a voice which
sounded hoarse and unnatural:

Dark and heavy styles have been in good

strength has been In medium reggie and
nondescript leaf. The offerings of dark to-

have been re-sales here recently Of West

ally serious injuries are reported, as also
in portions of the Upper Green River,
Clarksyille and Burley districts. The rain
which set in irecently may possibly relieve
the situation; but part Of the crop has
been rapidly advanced by drouth and hot
