Destruction Of n Central American
Village.

A Government commission has been sent

bility of an outbreak of the Paeaya volcano.
The report announces the i0tGl destruction
of the village of San Vincente de Facaya
Some forty four tile-roo'ed houses COM
pletely collapsed, making such a cloud of
dust as to create the belief that new crater
had opened. The hot springs surrounding
Lake Amititlan emit larger volume of
weter at a higher temperature than usual.
The crater of Pacaya remains unchanged,
while that of Fuego has been very lively.

A BAD BANK BREAK.
DepOsitOrs Likely to Get Only Two
Bits on the Dollar.

Ritzinger Brothers. Bank, at Indianap-
oils, established in 1867, and which has
done n large business among Germans,
made an assignment. The papers were
executed after midnight. The liabilities
are, in round numbers: Deposits, $3.50, 900;
other debts, 100000. The assets are:
Real Estate, scheduled at 100000, and
other securities, which are semi assets, and
are largely held as security for money adj
vanced, $107 900. When the debts are
discharged for which these are held they
will probably be exhausted leaving $780,
900 of real estate to pay $4,000 of depos-
its. Under the present condition of the
real estate market the probabilities are that
depositors will not realize more than %
cents on the dollar.
