GUADALUPE.
This is another one of the more
noted places of interest in the vicini.
ty Of the city, and is distant about
three miles. 1t is reached by
street car lines. 1t is kind of jun
bic of cathedrals, graveyards and
gambling bottles, 1t seems to be the
religious center Of the country for
the Indians Cor native MeXicaus),
and during our visit q great Indian
feast was in progress at the place, and
many thousands were gathered there
from all parts Of the country. They
would go into one Of the cathedrals
or chapels, kneel down before some
image OF saint, count beads and
pray awhile, cross themselves with
holy water in passing out, and go as
straight as they could walk to the
gambling tables. 1t comes as natu-
raj for Mexican to gamble as it does
for him to eat, and they teach their
children to gamble as soon as they
can talk. They use every kind Of
device for the purpose that can be
conceived. Thousands eff men, wOm-
en- and children are seen upon the
streets and in the houses, at all hours
of day and night, Offering lottery
tickets for sale. We never saw a sim
gle sale made while there, but pre-
sumo great numbers Of them are sold.
We suppose this was the only thing
going that some of our crowd didn't
invest in, and if the tickets had been
printed in English so we could have
read them, no doubt some Of the
party would have tried their luck.
In the main cathedral at Guada-
lupe there is silver railing said to
weigh twenty-siX tons. The build
ing was undergoing extensive re-
pairs when we were there, and this
railing had been removed, conse-
quently it was also numbered among
the curioSities we didn't see. Here
is another hill somewhat similar to
the one at Chepultepec, onthe summit
of which is a small chapel and Gem.
everywhere the bones of Santa Anna
and many other Mexican notable>
repose. Many Of the monuments
tOmbs, and vaults are splendid work;
of art in marble and silver, and the
cemetery represents an outlay o
many fortunes. Some of the vaults
are decorated on the inside in very
elaborate style. A wheeled vehicle

John FarreIl's Death the Cause Of Numer-
GUS Failures.

GUS htAuTtbH
The death Of John Farrell, a wealthy
farmer living near Smyrna. about a
month ago. has caused financial panic
in that town. He was heavy endorser
on the paper of several merchants and
farmers in and about Smyrna, and his
death has been the cause of the failure of
number Of them. The first was ].
Frank Denney, who not only failed but
for few days was stricken with tenn.
porary insanity. Denney was heavily in
debted to Farrell, who had backed him in
business,
About weak ago, Robert Denney, a
brother Of Frank Denney, and who was
much Ia debt to the latter, failed for it is
said, about $4,000 He was proprietor
OF large Touring mills near Smyrna, had
feed and -four store in the town and
was also engaged in farming. His assets
are not definitely known, but it is thought
that they are not equal to his liabilities
by about one third.
The latter part of last week the failure
of Samuel Truax, a farmer near Smyrna,
was announced with liabilities at about
| $50, 900. His assets are unknown.
Since then Edward Disch and Edward
| Streets, both farmers near Smyrna. have
failed for about So, COO each, and 1t II
seid that the end is not yet, for Others

nothing was done toward a settlement
A director of the bank says that matters
will be allowed to take their
own course. The sale of the store goods
and of the machinery, etc, in the

July %. Mr.. Treat thinks the bank
ought to have given him notice. because,
he says, the execution by mutual agree
ment had been held over two years, and
no demand had been made until the
sheriff appeared Some of the directors
think the execution was notice enough.
Besides money furnished by the bank
northern capitalists have given Mr.
Treat financial backing and some of our
people think that after the bank affair is
settled Clahin & Company will furnish
capital to keep the works in operation.
The total amount Of judgments en-.
