SIX ASSIGNMENTS.
One Of Them That of Bank and the
Others Csused pY Il.

One Of Them That Of z Bank and the
Others Caused by it.
RALEIGH, Y. C., Nov. 1.-THE Bank Of
Durham made an assignment last night,
but it was not made public till this fore
noon. Several Of the largest business. estab-
lishments in Durham are involved. The
list Of failures is as follows:
Bank Of Durham, state bank, owned
by ". T. Blackwell, liabilities estimated at
300 OOO; estimated assets upward Of ESQ.,
OO0
T. J. Parish, warehouseman and manu-
facturer Of smoking tobacco. Liabilities
$4,000: estimated assets 300, 900
j. W Blackwell, coal dealer, contractor,
etc o.; liabilities $1,000.
w F. Ellis, dry goods; liabilities SO 900.
Vance & Shaw, dry goods; liabilities
Robbins & Stone, dry goods; liabilities
$500.
ALL ASSETS ABOVE TIE DEBTS.
1t is believed that in every instance the
assets viii more than cover the liabilities
The immediate cause Of the assignment
Of the bank Is the fact that the institution
had a heavy line Of discounts at the north,
which it could not get renewed. 1t is stated
that Mr. Blackwell will be able TO pay all
creditors in full.
The doors of the bank remained closed
this morning. notice being placed thereon
stating that all creditors would be paid
dollar for dollar There has been no run on
the other Durham banks, all of which
assure the public that they are ready to
meet all demands.
CARR ONLY SLIGHTLY AFFECTED.
Us. Carr is believed to have been affected
very slightly, if at all, by the assignments
Raleigh is not affected In the least Not
a single individual here will suffer.
The assignment Of the bank was the cause
Of the other assignments, all Of which were
made almost simultaneously. 1t is not sup
posed that the crash will prove particularly
disastrous TO Durham, as it is believed that
all the houses involved will be able to pay
all their liabilities and leave a surplus re-
naming, and will resume business at an
early day.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Mark Twain, if
he is in the mood, viii tell the story Of his
own courtship in a manner worthy Of the
greatest living humorist. When be first
met the lady who afterward became his
wife be was not so distinguished as now, his
origin was humble, and for some years of
tis life he had been pilot on the Missis-
sippi river. The future Mrs Clemens was
a woman Of position and fortune her father
was judge and doubtless expected fam
lily" and social Importance in his sod-in-law
Clemens, however, became interested in his
daughter and after while proposed. but
was rejected. "Wer, y he said TO the iadv,
81 didn't much believe you'd have me, but l
thought I'd try
After while be ''trieds again. with the
same result, and then remarked, with his
celebrated drawl, 81 think a great deal
more Of you than if you'd said Yes but
it's hard to bear" A third time he met
with better fortune and then came to the
most difficult part Of his task, TO address
the old gentleman.
Judge he said to the dignifed million
aire, have you seen anything going on be-
tween Miss Lizzie and me-,
WHAT Whatl7 exclaimed the Judge.
rather sharply, apparently not understand
ing the situation yet, doubtless getting
glimpse Of it from the inquiry.
Have you seen anything going on be
tween Miss Lizzie and mef
NO, no indeed replied the magnate,
sternly. mo, sir, l have not
well look sharp, and you will, y said the
author Of ''Innocents Abroad :" and that's
the way he asked the judicial luminary for
his daughters hand
Mark Twain has child who inherits
some of her fathers brightness. She kept
diary at one time, In which she noted the
occurrences in the family, and among other
things the sayings of her parents. On one
page she wrote that father sometimes used
stronger words when mother asn't by and
he thought "wen didn't hear. Mrs. Glenn
ems found the diary and showed it to her
husband, probably thinking that particu-
lar page worth his notice. After this Glenn
ems did and said things that were intended
to attract the child's attention, and found
them duly noted afterward- But one day
the following entry occurred:
