GENTLEMEN:
Having been employed by
your vice President to audit the ac-
counts of the Secretary of the Associa-
ton, | desire TO state that have COM
pleted my labors and beg to submit my
report herewith
l have made a thorough examination
OF the books from the commencement
eff the Association up to February
10th, 1889, having traced every entry
from its origin to its final record, and
with the exception of few trifing
clerical errors, which in no way affect
ed the result, l fiEd them to have been
correctly kept.
| have compared all the pass-books
obtainable, (all but IL of the whole
number), with the individual ledger
and find them TO agree, and that all
dividends have been correctly credited,
and all interest and premiums properly
charged.
The money received by the Secretary
has been by him duly credited to the
several accounts, and properly turned
over to the Treasurer, and receipts
taken for the same.
All disbursements have been made
on the proper orders and the amounts
charged to the appropriate accounts
l have compared the several semi
annual reports of the Secretary with
the books Of the Association; and find
them to agree. The dividends appear
to have been correctly kept, and the
gain correctly added to the shares.
l transmit herewith, a statement of
Receipts and Expenditures, and Trial
Balance showing the condition Of the
books as at February 10Th, 1889.
| have examined the securities and
other papers required i'll case of loans
made, and find everything in order ex-
cept that some of the Insurance poll
cieS are missing.
\ detailed statement of outstanding
loans is submitted herewith
\ proper record of Orders on the
Treasurer has been kept.
All assignments of stock appear to
have been regularly made except such
as are referred to in the schedule
of loans.
The record of certificates of stock
issued as been properly kept except
that the names of holders of stock in
the Fifth series have not vet been emit
cred therein, which entries have, the
Secretary informs me, been purposely
delayed to avoid entering the names of
those who have failed to make more
than the first few payments.
In conclusion, l would suggest, if l
may be allowed to do so, that borrow
ers from the Association be required
to deliver to the Secretary their fire in
surance policies rs he is required to see
that the property is kept insured and
to renew all policies allowed by the
owner to expire, under a penalty for
neglect of duty.
Very respectfully

THE CORONA DISASTER.

We publish elsewhere all the partic-
ulas obtainable at this time Of the fear
ful Corona disaster In which 80 many
lives were lost, among them several OF
the relatives and friends of all the peo-
pie from the Red river to Monroe.
Heading the list of the lost is the name
of Capt. J. w. Blanks, President OF
the Ouachita River Consolidated Line
and commander of the ill>fated Corona.
He was connected by the ties OF blood
and friendship with all the people OF
the Ouachita Valley and was held 10
high esteem by oil who knew him.
Associated with his brother, the late
Capt. F. A. Blanks, the two were for
years the most prominent and popular
stsamboatsmen In the Ouachita trade.
Upon the death OF Capt.. Fred Blanks,
the elder, "Cspt. Jack" as he was
Familiarity known, was elected to sue
coed him as president OF the line and
continued In that position up to the
tune of the disaster In which be lost
bis life, the particulars of which will
carry sorrow to the hearts of his host
OF friends ON and of the river.
Among the others lost who were
we'll known here were J. v. Jordan
and Charley Cellos. The latter lived
here for number OF years and his uu-
timely, sudden aud terrible death will
be greatly deplored by host Of friends,
He was young and generous and brave
and these qualities, whatever faults
one may have, commands and receives
admiration. He was second clerk o
the boat and had few equals and M
superiors In that capacity. Mr.. J. v
Jordan, the flrst clerk, was popular
experienced aud eflicient steamboats,
man, having run on the river for
number of years, making hosts o
friends during that time.
For further particulars we refer thu
