The Tradors' Bank a Total Wreck.

CHICAGO, Oct. 6--The more that is known about the Traders bank failure the worse it appears. Receiver Smith went into court and asked for instructions as to the disposi- tion of certain claims. In his petition Mr. Smith says that he finds things in bad con- dition. Special deposits of articles have been made to and are held by the bank that are not the property of the bank and form no part of its assets He finds among the assets notes a bills receivable that have hereto fore been discounted by the bank, and he has also ascertained that the makers of these notes have balances due them as depostors. MT. Smith would not give any information abou. the Trenton (Mo) bank that was carried down by the Traders failure, but one of the clerks explained that the Trenton bank made all its deposits at the Traders, and they wers now among the missing assets It is believed that the Traders is total wreck and there will be next to nothing from the Rutter estate to pay the claims.

SECESSION.

CIarlzsviIIe, Indiana, Wants to Sece de
From the State and be Admitted to the
Union as a Territory or District Under
the Old Virginia Charter.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 31.-The people
of the town of Clarksvill g, which is stu
ated about midway between Jefferson
Vile and New Albany, on the Ohio river,
are just at present in a great state of
agitation from various causes. One is the
seizure of their streets by railroads, the
State and other parties. They believe
that they are being hemmed in, and they
mean to protest vigorously. A movement
is now on foot among the people of that
locality to organize, hold an election, send
delegates to the National Congress, and
demand admission as Territory or Dis
trict under the old Virginia charter, which
they hold is still in force. CIarksville,
next to Vincennes, is the oldest town in
Indiana. In October, 1913, Virginia
caused town to be surveyed on the north
bank of the falls of the Ohio, de-
scribed as being situated in the county of
Illinois. This was to be laid off in a
reservation of 10000 acres, granted to
General George Rogers Clark and his men
and officers, who marched with him and
seduced the British posts at Kaskaskia
and Vincennes. The fee simple, together
with the government of tho town, was
vested in ten trustees. March l, 1884,

PORTLAND, Ne, Dec, 31.-It is evident
that Portland escaped a great danger
during the storm of Wednesday night.
The gale struck Portland Head at half
past nine O'Clock, at a time when, in this
harbor, the wind seemed TO be dying out.
Up to that time, while the wind had been
terrific, blowing fifty miles an hour, the
rain falling continuously, Keeper Strout
and his assistants, Joe and Gil Strout,
had no idea that anything unusual was
about to occur.
stIt was very clear" said Gil Strout yes

out through the rain, and when the great
wave made. its appearance we could
see its white cap far out and could watch
its approach"
Apparently the monster wave came in
the shape of a pyramid. It struck first
against the outer line of rock, and at that
time, when the fountains of the mighty
deep seemed to have broken up, mass of
water lowered up even, as they believe,
with the light house itself Between the
line of rock extending for perhaps a hum
dred feet along the sea line and the shore,
is an opening some forty feet deep, and

and the entire mass was hurled sixty feet
above high water mark against the engine,
boiler and fog horn house. The force of
the blow was such that the building, built
as strongly as possible, was bent, twisted
and shattered. Great iron straps were
snapped as though they had been plpe-
stems, and the receding wave carried
with it every thing on shore, including
stones weighing tons.
farmer who lives on the shore of Cape
Elizabeth, about two miles beyond the

coming in it made a fearful roar, but when
it struck the cliffs it seemed as though it
fairly smashed them to pie ces. The force
of the blow was tremendous. Another
such gigantic blow would have done
woeful damage along the Shore"

titles. The prison rules are being ar
ranged, it seems, for his especial benefit,
and he endures but few of the rigors o.
confinement. Contrary to all custom, the
distinguished criminal has not so far
been compelled to feel the disgrace of
having his hair and mustache clipped,
and they remain as luxurious as when
he was at the head of the
Fidelity. The officers say the
shaving will not be done for some time.
He INDUCES but little in the coarse fare of
the prison, but is supplied from the good
tables of his family in Cincinnati. He has
the run of the institution, going whittier
he will, and in order that the time may
not lie too heavily upon his hands, does e
bit of clerical work in the Office Of Secre-
tary Clements. His cell is fitted up in
royal style, although, when first admitted
he was informed that he would be allowed
nothing beyond what was furnished al
prisoners Of the State.

End of the Chicago Printers Strike.
CHICAGO, Dec. 31.-The job and book
printers strike has terminated and the
defeated strikers are slowly returning to
work The non-union men are being dis
charged as fast as the strikers return,
Notwithstanding most of the employing
printers swore that not a man who came
to their aid should ever be discharged to
make way for a striker, no matter how
good a worker said striker might be. The
gradual end of the strike, or more prop
srly, lockout, is appreciated by the news
paper printers, and such job printers as
are not involved in the general wreck.
They have been paying weekly assess
ments of ten per cent. toward the support
Of the strikers, and were much relieved
Wednesday when it was cut down to five,
owing to the small number of strikers
and the liberal aid OF other unions.
