PINE BLUFF, ARK.
THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK COM.
PEELED TO SUSPEND,
Causing a GlOOmiRess to PerVade the
Business Atmosphere of
the City.
ESPECIAL TO THE APPsAL.l

PINE BLUFF, ARK, November 49,
The First National Bank closed at 8
o'clock this morning. The teller aud
one Of the clerks were found. They
bad letter from Mr. Neel, president
of the bank, telling them not 10 APP
pear about the building, as the came
bad closed business. Information was
cleaned to the effect that Neel fai ed
to get further accommodations from
r chards1n & May, Of New Orleans,
and could not further continue busi-
ness. Neel says the bank is able to
pay go per cent. now, but, OF course,
the affairs will have to go into the
hands of a receiver. Neel's troubles
are supposed to be on account of ou'-
side bus ness affairs. He owes, 1t is
thought, oD his private sccount, about
100000. The bank is deeply indebted
to depositors. Our city is in great
commotion aud many blue faces are
seen, among them WIDOWS, orphans
and poor workingmen, as we'll as
numbers of our merchants and bus:-
ness men. In the meantime neither
the president nor the cashier Of the
bank are 10 be seen upon our streets.
The conclusions are varied. Some
cay it is long projected scheme OF
falsity, while others maiptsin that all
will be righttd. The effect of the
heavy mortgag on Neil's property is
by no means a guarantee that he will
be able to meet his obligations, no
matter how much he may desire to do
80. Our city is sorrowing, for just at
this time no greater Calamity could
have happened, In the meantime the
Merchants aud Planters Bank of this
city telegrsphed to Little Rick this
morning, and had special tain to
bring them $50 900 to aid in the con-
ducting OF the business Office OF this
city, and will at once treble the
amount. Jefftrson City and Pine Bluff
officials are also in the march.

rest him. He was put in jail, where
he will remain until he can be carried
to the asylum at Nashville. A few

In view of the iuexGueable delay by
Sheriffs in forwarding election returns
the Knoxville Journal suggests that
the judges and clerks of election
should be paid for their services. "The
State ought not to expect such serv-
ices free of charge, and the services of
efficient men cannot always be Sc
cured without compensation. If the
Legislature should pass law requir-
ing the counties to pay the officers
who hold elections a fair comptn sa-
ton efficient man could always be
had, and then the officers of wards
and voting precincts could be required
to get up their returns in proper
shape and to forward them promptly.
1t would be more satisfactory to ev.
erybody and the burden of taxation
would not be increased to any appre-
eiable extent Every one who has
ever had anything to do with the de-
tails OF holding elections knows how
difhcult it sometimes is to get men to
serve as judges and clerks of elections.
II some compensation were provided
all this would be obviated, the cleo
tons would be more satisfactory" and
the returns more prompt.

No little excitement existt d in COM
metcial circles when it appeared at an
early hour this morning that the
doors of the First National Bank, @.
Neel, president, were closed and its
operations suspended. Mr.. Neel
could not be seen by the correspond
ent, but his fiiends say that the cause
of it was owing to the difficulty
OF getting cotton to market, on account
of imperfect railway aud river com.
municst OILS. and matured paper due
Richardson & May, cotton factors, New
Orleans. It. is further stated that
while Mr.. Neel is personally embar-
raised the bank will be able to meet
the demands of sll depositors. The
Merchants and Planters Bank, nntici-
pa,ing aIrun on account of the failure
OF the First National Bank, were per-
fectly prepared to mset any run en- it.

Corruption In the British War De-
partment

LONDON, Auyuet The Sir William
Armstrong Arms Manufsctnrin CON-
psny is resorting to extreme measures
to estop the military newspaper ex.
posures of the cOmpany's alleged cor
ruption OF government officials to
secure CONTRACTS for the supply of ORD
nance. Recently the company applied
to the Queens bench for an Injunction
to restrain Capt. Armit from contin-
uipg 10 publish in the admiralty and
Horse Guards Gazette, as he has been
doing every week, fresh allegations of
corruption OF ordnance officials by the
Armstrong;, pending the result of the
action for libel 10 be brought by the
com psny against the captain for his
original slls CATION Of corruption. In
the succeeding exposures Capt. Armit
has described in detail alleged cases of
the or. ssest char tCter, charging sew
eral distinguished percentages with
corruption and conspiracy, with hav-
ing formed among themselves a ring
for systematic robbery Of the govern
ment. The Court of the Queens
Bench ha1 just rendered its decision
upon the petition for mi melton. The
count refused to grant the injunction,
aud bases the retusslup7n the ground
that The libe's fall within the class OF
privileged communications" "If
these libels ara true," says the court,
sit is of the utmost importance that
the country should be made aware of
the knowledge they convey" Capt.
Armit's object is believed to iorce the
government to grant a royal commits
sion of Inquiry into his charges.

A veteran Mannger Retires.

LONDON, August 5.-Aiter controll-
irg the destinies OF the Gaiety Theater
for more than seventeen years Mr..
John Ho,lingshead is about to retire
from active management. During this
time the theater has had career of
almost unexamped prosperity as the
home of bnrlesque in winter and Of
French plays in the spring. Three
years sgo the scattering Of the famous
quartet 9, Terry, Kate Vaughan, Nell
lie Farren and Connie Gilchrist, cast
a temporary cloud over its fortunes,
since happily dispelled. Mr.. Hollings-
head was the associate of Dickens in
founding Household HOrds, in an office
adjoining the Gaiety. He has like
wise been a constant contributor to
The CornhiH Magazine, beside acting for
many years as the dramatic critic OF
the Daily NelUs, and has published
several volumes Of essays on various
subjects.
Mr.. HollinGshead retires with an in.
terest in the theater, the returns from
which are guaranteed not to fall below
a fixed sum. He will probably devote
the remainder OF his life to literature.
He will be succeeded as manager by
Mr.. George Edwards, formerly Of
D'Oyly Carte's Savoy Theater, and
Mr.. ChaIlesr Harris, we'll known in
America, will be the stage manager.
The season will open under The new

A question of Religion.

LONDON, August 7.-Wm. Johnston,
NJ. P, Conservative member for Bel
fist, who is the leader OF the Orange
men as represented in the British
House of Commons, is bitterly opposed
to the Marquis OF Salisbury's Cabinet,
so far as it directly concerns Ireland
and The Irish interests, He declares
that Lord Salisbury made fatal mis-
take when he appointed Henry Mat
thews Home Secretary, aud takes the
peculiar ground in this special in
stance that the Premier action is ag-
gres:ively hostile to the Interests Of
Pedestrians in Ireland. He stigma
tizes the appointment OF Mr., Mat
thews as a development of the Jesuit
influence in British politics and state
craft. AS reason for this view of the
situation he STATES tina Mr. Matthews
is intimately acquainted with the aims
and aspirations Of Cardinal Manning,
and is so closely assoc ated with
them and in sympathy with them,
that Lord Salisbury, by his appoint
ment, directly helps the Cardinal to
push his plans for the influence of the
Vatican in t. e imperial councils. Mr..
Johnston yarns the Tory Premier that
the Irish Prot siaGts are prepared to
frustIats any and all attempts on the
part of the British Government to
place the educational system Of Ireland
under the influence of the the papacy.
The Pro.estants are naturally greatly
alarmed at the possibility of this being
accomplished, for their model schoo
of Ire and, which correspond 10 the
public schools Cf America, are among
the best conducted and NEST efficient
educational institutions in the world,
and have accomplished very marked
and va liable amount of good in the
instruction and culture of the Irish
people. Although under Protest.
ant control they are attended
by many thousands OF Rlman Catho-
lies, and ara Confesssdly among the
best and highest class OF primary
schools in the world. The fear that
they may come under entirely Roman
Catholic rule is natural one, aud
has aroused a great deal of feeling,
According to Mr.. Johnston's state
ment of the case, the control of the
model school is only one step in the
papal scheme. He asserts that Cardi.
nal Mannipg's hope is that in two
centuries from this the Roman Catho-
lie Church will again be in the as.
cendant in England and be the re-
liRion Of the United Kingdom.
