| Tucker Of Jacksonville showed US last week
the muster roll of the Anderson Guards,
I
pany OF Florida. 1t is a history of each
member. The company was composed of
the pick and pride of old jefferson, and sew
eral of its members wers promoted to high
| rank. 1t numbered eighty men before the
battle of Shiloh and only fourteen are now
living. Mr.. Tucker, who was lieutenant In
the company, made out the roll after the re-
organization. Before the battle at
Atlanta he had commanded the
company in more battles than
any of the other officers. At Atlanta
he was left for dead on the field, having
been struck by a piece OF a she'll. BE owes
his life to the seemingly fortuitous circum-
stance OF having whitfield out with a
pocket knife, pipe with masonic embiens
upon It. The federal soldier who found
him discovered that he was O fellow Of the
mystic tie, and, as he was ssill breathing,
| ordered tAe apparently dying man put int
an ambulance and carried to the hospital.
The surgeon was Royal Arch mason, aud
Mr.. Tucker had the best Of care and made a

| The failure Of the St. Johns County Saw
ings Bank and Real Estate Exchange at st.
Augustine is a bad one. The St. Augustine
correspondent Of the Jacksonville Times

Charles K. Vedder, the city treasurer, had
the ciLy's funds in the bank, and having
been refused payment of a check, attempted
cred that the whispering of the ''shaky"
condition of the bank was only too true.
Mr.. Vedder is also q loser Of several hundred
dollars OF his private funds DR.. Garrison
of North City mortgaged considerable
of his property Ut is said) in order
to raise $1,000 in stock in the pro-
| posed new national bank that was TO grow
out of the st. Johns County Savings
bank. The hard cash was swamped in the
| wreck. There are number of the mer-
chants here in the same boat as DR.. CARR
son, for sums ranging from $500 to $1,000.
| Some OF the soldiers at the barracks were
| depositors, also some of tie hotel female help.
| The great bulk Of the losse, falls on the mer-
chants here, aud those ntirely unable to lose
any amount Of money. The o are hopes
that something may be realized from the
individual belongings of those responsible
for the liabilities of the bank. Charles F.
Hopkins, Jr., says that he will turn in
every ceat's worth of property owned b.
himself and wife. G.. w. Gibbs will do
likewise, and there is yet C ace

business Of the bank had been used for
paying salaries aud rent. The deposits
were small. 1t is estimated that $4,000
was IN notes and cash given toward ma
tionslizing the bank in sums from $500
to 5000. The notes were discounted and
the proceeds used in paying the liabilities of
the bank, George w. Gibbs being the in
dorser The council at its meeting last
night had to tussel with something that
will require the legal ability of the land to
settle; who is responsible fer the loss of the
$4,000 of the city's money in the hands of
the city treasurer, as it were. done gone
with the st. Johns county bank? NJ.
Vedder notified the council that, as the
city had lost about s., 900 by the wrecking
of the bank, he thought they should be first
informed of the fact, so that they the al

amount from the assets"
