A Deficiency of $4,000 Found in
the Fugitive Cashiers Accounts.
ST. LOUIS, Mo. July 14.-The Provi-
dent Savings Bank closed its doors to-day
and has made an assignment. Almond
B. Thompson, the cashier, has absoonded.
The liabilities exceed the assets by S40,-
600.
Thompson is a graduate OF Harvard
College, and since ne has held his respOn-
slble position in this city has been re.
garded as man Of sterling integrity. He
is President of the Harvard Club OF this
city and a member of the Light Cavalry,
and prominent knight Templar. He
announced his intention in the latter part
of last week OF accompanying the Light
Cavalry to the State encampment,
and it was generally supposed he
was there. Advices from that
point, however, state that he has
never been near the camp, and it is sup
posed that he has joined the army of de-
faulters in Canada. No other cause for
his defalcation can be assigned other than
fast living, for he has never been known
to speculate. The directors OF the bank
have fled petition for receiver.
The President of the bank, j. s. Gar
land, has been absent from the city for
about six months, and the cashier has as
sumed the Presidents duties as well as
his own. The banks statement ofyester-
day shows assets of 81, 1866. coo and Iiabili-
ties $685., 600. The directors Of the bank
state that they Will not be a BILE TO realize
on apparent assets to their full extent by
a large sum. w. II. Thompson, OF the
Commercial bank, has been appointed
receiver. Large crowds of de-
pOsltors congregated around the
bank anxious to know the nature
of the embarrassment. The excitement
increased until ii became necessary to
call the police. The largest NUM- Der Of
depOsitors are clerks and poor men and
women. W. n. Thompson, the receiver,
says that the bank has been carefully
managed, and few If any bad loans exist,
and it is bis opinion that the depositors
will be paid in full.
DE RIvERA's FLIGHT.
NEW YORK, July 14-Some defect hav-
ing been made in the assignment OF De
Rivera & Co. several days ago a new
assignment was prepared and filed to-day
in the County Clerks office, in which
Emet r. OlcOtt is preferred for pro-
teesiOnal services rendered the firm as
counsel. Mr.. Olcott has also taken
proceedings III the supreme Court, and mas
obtained an attachment against the prop
erly OF HeurV -. de hlVera from Judge
Barrett upon claim that he rendered
professional services in 1894 and 1866, for
which he alleges he Is entitled to 5000.
He has not been able to find De Rivera in
this State and believes that he has alb
seconded. De Rivera's father, and also
his partner, are OF the same opinion.
Upon this ground the attachment was
granted. De Rivera is reported to be in
Montreal. The liabilities of the firm are
put al 100000 bv common rumor in the
absence OF an official statement.

Medical Virtues of Dry Earth
From tAe Sanitaru Era .


DR.. Addinell Hewson, OF the Pennsyl-
wanna Hospital, Philadelphia, has been ex-
perimenting with dry earth as dressing
for dangerous and offensive wounds, sores,
cancers, etc, with magical effect, The
earth used was such as is used in dry
earth closet.
At the time of its introduction an ex-
perlment2i commodel there was a patient
suffering from severe wound, the eXu-
dations of which were so offensive as
TO cause sickening, even danger
Gus stencil, which the excellent venti-
lstion of the ward and the usual disinfec-
tants were hardly able even to mitigate.
1t occurred to DR.. Rewson to test the pow
er OF dry earth to absorb this OdOr as 1t
had that OF excrement. The effect was
magical. Not only was the offensiveness
entirely overcome, but the effect on the
character of the wound itself was such as
no previous treatment had been able 10
compass. Soon after this Col. Warn
ing witnessed the morning dressing OF
the earth treated wounds of seven pa
tients, all bad cases, and yet doing re-
markedly well. The seventh case was
an entire breast removed tor cancer. and
the wound dressed with dry earth. 1t
was healing rapidly, with no inflamma-
ton and no suppuration.
Or. Thomas NJ. Logan, late physician
to the smallpox hospital, Sacramento,
says: Another improvement in the hos.
pital system is found in the dry-earth
treatment. Not only did it prove the
best deodoriZer, but at the magic touch
OF Mother Earth, the pustules and Tester
ing sores Of smallpox gave up their pain
and ofensiyeness, healing up kindly
without any other dressing.

WINTERS UGLY BEGINNING.
Cold and Rain in the City and
Heavy Snow Storm Near BY.

A cold, drizzling rain that penetrated
gossamers, overcoats, mufIiers and the
heaviest of clothing, and a dampness that
perVaded all out of doors and in doors
were the chief features of Yesterdays
weather. Weather strips seemed almost
necessary to keep the chill damp from
penetrating one's thoughts. When it was
not drlzzLng 1t was showering or prepar-
ing to.
The day was bad one for church ct
tendance. The streets were sloppy and
almost deserted. Three degrees was all
mat the mercury ranged. Thirty-six was
lne highest and SO the lowest.
Sucn slight variation Is extremely un-
usual. During the day the wind shifted
around from northeast to northwest. A
le" lakes Of show were reported by
some parties on the street about 8 O'Clock
al night. The Signal Observer did not
hptice any but said that he was not pre-
pared to dispute the statement.
throughout New England, the Middle
states and The South snow and rain pre-
vailed, In New England a heavy snow
was reported and also al Charlotte, y. g.,
at ~ O'Clock last night. Snow fell, too, in
Upper and Middle Georgia. Passengers
on the afternoon train on the
central road reported riding through

within 100 miles of Savannah.
Inc cars were covered with suOw, but
when they neared Savannah the snow was
washed of by the rain. At midnight
brlsk breeze was blowing aud it seemed to
be getting colder rapidly. AS the tempera-
tuFe was then but degree or two above
freezIng the indications were that things
would stiten up before morning.
Inc Signal Service Observer thought
that to-day would be much as yesterday
WAS but that tomorrow will bring clearer
ana colder weather. During the thirty
six hours preceding midnightthe mercury
IN the northwest rose from 20 to
30 degrs. A low and compara-
lively uniform thermometer was re-
marked all over the United States last
night. The lowest temperature was
degrees at Buffalo and the highest was AZ
at Cheyenne. Yesterdays rainfall was
over an inch.
The indications for Georgia to-day are
light snow. followed by fair weather,
slightly warmer.

Although this make is as yet new to the

the company have decided after examining
the different makes that the above mentioned

thing marked in pain figures, and that figure
as low as can be sold North, South, East or

The California people are delighted with
the brilliant style in which the Louisville
club is playing.
The guarantee fund of $4,000 has to be
deposited with the President OF the league
on Jan. 10. The doubtful clubs haven't
much longer to decide.
Manager Powell, of Charleston, is not
wasting his time in idleness at the North,
but has signed several players. Their
contracts were not made out correctly,
however, and have been returned by
Secretary Schachte, so that the necessary
changes can be made in them.
The only dilemma with which the Ma
tional League now has to grapple is how
TO get clear of its surplus member. 1t is
confronted with nine little Indians strung
out IN a row, every one OF whom seems
determined to stay in his position, even
though the aid OF the courts has to be in
vOked. But somebody has to 90. ObYi-
ously the club to be frozen ont is either
that of Kansas City or st. Louis. By
reason Ofits geographical position Kansas
City is least wanted. The Cow boys know
this, however, and will not give up with
out a desperate fight.

The Richmond Terminals Scoop

The rumored scoop OF the East Ten
nessee road by the Richmond Terminal
Company is exciting considerable inter-
est. The Wall Street News quotes Mr.
Josselyu, editor of the Daily Indicator, as
saving that there is no question about the
road having been turned over to the Sully
party in the interest OF the Richmond
Terminal Company. This, he says, is
probably one OF the reasons why the Rich
mond Terminal secured control OF Rich
mond and Danville, as the Richmond
Terminal could do many things under its
charter forbidden to the Dauvile.
Mr.. Calvin 5. Brce says it is not true
that the Richmond Terminal Company
has bought the East Tennessee.
There have been some propositions, he
SAYS, but nothing is consummated yet. 1t
may happen between now and Christmas.
An Atlanta gentleman claims to have
information that negotiations are pending,
but he says that no transfer has been
madA.
